my story

Hi! My name is Courtney and I'm a seamstress specializing in wedding dresses. In addition to my sewing background, I have a degree in fashion and I worked as a fashion designer and part-time bridal consultant for over 10 years, and I am currently still a freelance bridal designer, so you could say I definitely love all things bridal. I service brides in the Los Angeles/Southern California area and beyond. Don't hesitate to reach out with questions or appointment requests. I can't wait to meet you!

services

Whether you need standard bridal alterations, custom accessories, or even dress cleaning, I am here for your wedding dress needs. Here are some of the services I can offer you.

Bridal Alterations

Most brides need a hem, bustle, strap adjustment, and maybe taking in the side seams. I also offer more custom alterations like adding/removing sleeves, creating slits, adding bling, etc. The sky is the limit.

*Average price for standard alterations is usually $500-$750, additional cost for more custom alterations

Custom Accessories

Whether you want a detachable train, a lace jacket, removable sleeves, or a matching veil, I'll work with you to bring your vision to life. Be sure to have plenty of inspiration images to share with me.

*Veils start at a $100

*Straps and sleeves $125-$250

*jackets/toppers $350-$450

plus cost of materials

Heirloom Dress Upcycle

If you want to use your mom or grandma's wedding dress for your special day, I can help. This can range from simply repairing and altering the dress to fit your body, redesigning it to make it more modern, or using the materials to make accessories such as ring bearer pillows, veils, or sleeves.

*Inquire for pricing
