Simply Made, Simply Altered

Simply Made, Simply Altered I have a tremendous amount of experience and passion for sewing and creating one of a kind items.Please message me with specific questions or inquiries.

With a degree from Columbia in fashion design specializing in custom dress making, I have been sewing 15 years with experience in creating one of a kind items for all occasions. I believe that sewing is a lost art and there are very few seamstresses out there that are current with growing trends and skills. I have been very grateful to have the client base throughout the last 15 years. I do a tre

mendous amount of wedding gown/bridal party alterations in addition to custom dress making and have expanded into toddler & baby accessories/dresses. Being a home based business, it allows me to be flexible in scheduling fittings & appointments. Inbox me to inquire on any special orders or questions. Items can be hand delivered or shipped.

7•6•26 Chelsea married in Cancun with a unique scenario. At first fitting she told me she was 12 weeks pregnant and would be 26 weeks at wedding. We came up with a few plans that we would put in to place if necessary. We had lots of try-ons but with the dress being ordered too big we had lots of wiggle room for the best case scenario.
Thank you so much for choosing me and trusting me that everything was going to be perfect.
