Simply Made, Simply Altered

Contact the business

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 tremendous 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.

95% of my time as a seamstress is spent completing a brides look with the most perfect alterations. Every so often, I get to do something different. Earlier this month I got to dress this little lady for her second 💙💛NADS fashion show. A pink and black dress complete with a 42” train.
Being a part of this event was an honor and I can’t wait to dress her next year. We have set the bar high.
