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 35 years experience working with brides I look forward to working with you.

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!!

Patricia was so great to work with! She was communicative and transparent about pricing when we first met. She made sure I was 100% happy with my alterations and took her time to make adjustments as needed. A Bonus - she has a very cute, very well behaved pup at her house (:

I found Patricia through this app and asked her about working on some sweatshirts for my dog. He falls between sizes and it is hard to find things for him. I was a little nervous because it looked like she worked on bridal gowns and wasn’t sure if this would sound stupid. But to my pleasant surprise Patricia was open to it. She was very nice, communicative and very quick and we cannot say enough about the quality of the alterations. We are so happy! If/when we ever need anything altered again there is no question we would contact Patricia. We HIGHLY recommend!

Patricia is an absolute magician! I had my wedding during covid, which was hard enough, but she made the dress alterations process so easy. My dress basically had to be recreated to fit my body properly and she did an incredible job. She was up front about pricing, timing, and work needed. I am so glad that I found her and that we worked together over a boutique alterations department. It felt like such a personal and customized experience. She is the sweetest person and I highly recommend her to future brides!

Thank you Dayna for the kind words and for sharing your beautiful wedding photos with future brides. I truly enjoyed being part of your wedding planning. I feel like I have become a friend to both you and your mom. When you two were leaving I secretly told your mom I also make "baby quilts" for the future !!!! Thanks again for using my services and recommending me to others.

I highly recommend figure flattering alterations! I ordered my wedding dress online and needed alterations relatively quick. I was concerned with the timing and I was also dealing with a growing pregnant belly and needed a bustle and length taking off the bottom. Boy am I glad I found this gem. I was able to get my dress in less than week and it fits like a glove. The customer service was amazing and quality of work is perfect. I will add some photos of my wedding day as soon as they are available.
