Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: I have been a seamstress and tailor for over 45 years.
I spent 35 years working as a professional in the entertainment industry (NY) making and altering clothing for theatre, fashion, dance, and 22 years in film/TV.
In 2011, I started The Straight Stitch in Merrimack NH . Covid gave me break and I am now in Ipswich Ma, and the surrounding area.
I currently am taking on formal gowns, womens tailoring repurposing and building vintage gowns from the 20th century.
I prefer to come to you. If you throw a prom or bridesmaids party, I will give free alterations to the host.
I am Masked, Vaxxed, and I can rapid test at your request.

She did an amazing job altering my wedding gown from a that’s a good dress to that’s an AMAZING dress! From day one you can tell she knows what she’s doing and can put all your trust in her. I don’t know a lot about altering or tailoring but she did a great job explaining her suggestions, which all came out amazing. She’s very flexible in meeting up and makes her deadlines as well. I highly recommend her for your wedding dress or whichever project you have for her. She’s worth every penny!
