Introduction

Over 40 years in the industry of bridal and formal wear. I provide special attention to the details of every dress design, while altering it to your body to give you the look of your dreams. Did you purchase your gown online, out of your area, or simply don't want to pay store alteration prices? Are you at a loss of where to go for alterations, or asking questions like….. “Who can I trust with the most cherished piece of my wedding?” “How do I find someone who is reliable?” “Who is affordable?” The brides I work with find that my personalized service, years of experience, reasonable prices, and in-home comfortable setting answer their questions and ease their concerns. After the first fitting consultation my brides leave stress free, confident and have renewed energy to focus on other areas of their wedding planning. Please browse through my photos to see the variety of alterations, and bustles I have created to make each and every wedding dress unique. With over 40 years experience working with brides I look forward to working with you.

I had a great time working with Trish to alter my wedding dress. I bought it originally as a size 4 and she was able to take it in to a size 0, hem to the perfect length, add a bustle, and add embellishments to the straps using pieces we removed from my dress during the hem. I added a few photos of when I first bought the dress and then some from my wedding day. Trish's attention to detail was incredible and I am so thankful that she was able to help me have the dress of my dreams.

Details: Dress • Add, remove, or adjust straps • Hemming / cuffing • Lace • Appliques • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.

Ashlan, thank you for posting your beautiful wedding day photos. The "before and after" pictures show how the thin spaghetti straps were transformed by adding the appliqués that I took off the hem. It certainly added feminine detailing that brought attention to your beautiful face and radiant wedding day smile!

Jackie, You looked stunningly beautiful on your wedding day. I appreciate you posting what a great experience we had re-creating your gown. You knew you wanted to feel something special with your redesign and I truly enjoyed making that happen for you. I was inspired by your enthusiasm at every fitting. I will always remember how much fun we had designing the applique pattern for the train, and when we both knew we had it just right. Your veil, hairstyle, shoes, everything looked SO amazing ! Thank you for having me be part of your wedding planning and for sharing your post for other potential brides to see. Sincerely, Patricia

Patricia did an awesome job bringing my dream to life. I needed a little DJ table and she put the grass on the table which I knew would take a lot of time effort and energy and ingenuity. It looks fantastic. I am so happy and pleased with it.

Patricia was outstanding! She got me in last minute to alter two dresses for my son’s wedding. I was holding out for a picture of my other dress but I’m still waiting on photos from the wedding. Patricia gave my dresses the perfect fit on a last minute request! I received so many compliments!! She does excellent work!!
