I was referred to Mercy by my sorority sister. I needed a dress altered that looked like a sack. She advised me as to what would look best on me while acknowledging my wants for this dress. After three fittings, SHE was satisfied and so was I. The dress was absolutely gorgeous and fitted me very well. She even made a tie belt from the material left over from hemming for the dress, which accented the dress greatly! My forever seamstress she is! Mercy, Mercy me! read more

Mercy's Custom Bridal Designs & Alterations - The dress I ordered VS Mercy's masterpiece - Bespoke Clothing Near Me - Augusta, Georgia

I wanted to give my wedding dress a facelift because it was way too long and the bottom was black from it dragging on the ground. I wanted to remove the train and hem the dress so I didn't step on the front while I walk. She was able to help me. Getting my dress altered was cheaper than getting it dry cleaned! The owner told me her story, which is amazing! She's 68 and you can't tell! She came from Cuba and moved to the US in the 80s. She is one of the few true seamstresses you will find. She's talented, has years of experience, and is incredibly friendly. She has been in Augusta 16 years. I would recommend coming here to anyone. She does dress restoration, modifications, hemming, you name it and she can do it! She has truly put her blood, sweat and tears into this place! What a true inspiration. You get a 3.5% discount if you pay in cash. They require a 50% down payment. You pay the remaining balance when you pick up the dress. read more

Mercy is an amazing seamstress and she altered my bridal gown. She spent dedicated time to create sleeves for my November wedding and even made sure to have them both symmetrical. She made me look like a princess and I would completely recommend her to anyone else! read more

I really hope this will help another woman in the future. Me and my daughter were referred to Mercy. She came highly recommended for her amazing ability to alter wedding gowns. Not an "amazing" experience for us. We arrived at her shop and was rudely greeted... well not really greeted at the front. We filled out a paper and were instructed to go into the second room. Please keep in mind we have never been here before. My daughter put her wedding gown on. Mercy came into the room, didn't greet us or introduce herself. Looked at my daughter and said" the dress is way too small". *This fact we knew when we purchased, but also was told it could be altered. She continued to body shame her saying " what do you want me to do? Perform a miracle or something?" She laughs again and states how small and she just doesn't know. She then laughs and says "well, we can just maybe have high hopes". My daughter sobbing and shaking after Mercy leaves the room, takes her dress off and wants to leave. I've never seen her so shattered by comments said. She is a very confident young woman that is a hairstylist with an awesome uplifting personality. She gives other women confidence through her talent. What happened to women uplifting other women instead of tearing down their souls and body shaming. This world is in a mess itself without ripping away a brides most amazing moment. There is NO truth in words can't hurt. I saw that first hand yesterday. We have been reassured at Elegant Bridal that this can be fixed. Maybe the dress but not the mind. Not when you struggle with weight your entire life. I hope this can't prevent another bride's self image. read more
