    My dress fit PERFECTLY! Sherri did an incredible job. [[HIGHLIGHT]]What I appreciate most is that I was on a weight loss journey and was a different weight every time Sherri measured me. She was able to work with me each and every time.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] She was very kind and knowledgeable. She pointed out things that needed to be changed that I did not even notice and fixed them for me. [[HIGHLIGHT]]She also gives out a cute little care package that came in handy the day of.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We will be having a second ceremony, and I CAN'T WAIT to have Sherri come back and make future alterations for me!! Thank you!

    I found the Scarlett team from searching for a seamstress on yelp. I read the reviews for this business and they were spot on. I would highly recommend Sherri for you seamstress needs. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I started with inquiry thru yelp and then texting to set up appt for the work to be done on my MOB dress.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I sent a pic of my dress to Sherri to make sure she was able to work on sequin & she said no problem! [[HIGHLIGHT]]She was quick to respond & asked for a deposit to secure the appt.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] She was on time and very professional She came to my house and make adjustment to the dress and took it with a follow up appt when she would return the dress. It made me nervous but she seemed very trust worthy and talked about her family and was very personable and sweet. On the the return visit, the was a few more adjustments needed and she was quick to do in a weeks time and come back to make sure it fit perfect, I am very happy with Sherri and her work on my dress. She did amazing work and her pricing was a set price that seems reasonable for the work requested. I highly recommend Sherri for your seamstress needs if you are in the IE area. She is very passionate in her work and cares for the work she does. Thank you Sherri for the beautiful outcome of my dress - the compliments were endless!

    Ruched corseted bodice dress with sweep train length dress. Whimsical and romantic style.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Quality, communication, and timing was perfect in working with The Scarlett Seam.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I requested a custom belt and a custom coverup for our church ceremony. The color matching and style was perfect. My top had French seams and custom-sewn pearls which I loved (I hope to wear it again for a special occasion). The measurements were just right! [[HIGHLIGHT]]I had a super busy work schedule leading up to the wedding so Sherri's mobile appointments were extremely convenient and comfortable![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Super informative and she took her time with me.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The bottom of my many layered dress required long alterations and they came out great along with keeping my chapel train the back (my veil was custom by another wonderful vendor, One Blushing Bride). Go with The Scarlett Seam-- you won't be disappointed!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]I had such a wonderful experience with Sherri! She was kind, knowledgeable, and made the fitting process a total breeze.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] She adjusted the waistline and bust of my gown and added a bustle, all of which looked perfect. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I was 100% comfortable and confident on my wedding day.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Highly recommend for a job well-done and ease of mind knowing your dress is in good hands.

    Sherri was amazing! She rebuilt the entire back of my daughter's wedding dress, added sleeves, and completed other alterations as well. [[HIGHLIGHT]]She was friendly, timely, professional, and did a beautiful job on the dress.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] She even did alterations on the Maid of Honor's dress on a very short notice and dud a beautiful job. I can't say enough great things about Sherri. You can definitely trust her with all your alteration needs :)

    Long Overdue Review! I got married in February 2025 and knew early on that I wanted Scarlett Seam to handle my wedding dress alterations. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I reached out in December 2024 for an estimate and booked my appointment for January 2025. One of the best things about Scarlett Seam is that it's mobile so Sherri comes to you, which made the whole process so convenient, especially during the wedding planning process.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Sherri was fantastic! She's easy to talk to, professional, and very knowledgeable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] She answered all my questions about the dress (hems, fit, etc.) and even addressed a tricky zipper that was hard to zip up by oiling it so it worked smoothly. I recommend Sherri for any wedding dress alterations. Her pricing is reasonable, she saves you time by coming to your location, and the quality of her work is top-notch. I'm wondering if she also repurposes wedding dresses. I'd love to do something about my dress instead of letting it sit in my closet forever. 10/10 recommend Scarlett Seam!

    Second alteration attempt--loose sleeves and added skirt/waist. Crinoline is visible unflattering.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]I was very excited to work with Sherri and had high hopes, as she came across as kind, sweet, and professional.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] She was organized and coordinated throughout the process and even drove to my home, which I truly appreciated. My initial appointment was January 7th. The first fitting with the initial alterations was on February 24th, and a second attempt at correcting the alterations took place on March 10th. While she completed a corset back that I was satisfied with, the larger alterations--adding sleeves, extending my train, and adjusting the skirt--did not meet expectations, even after multiple attempts. During what was supposed to be the final fitting, a sleeve developed a tear that she was made aware of, and overall the dress was not prepared to the standard I had hoped for, especially so close to my wedding at the beginning of April. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I tried to be respectful and considerate of her time and effort, recognizing that this is a small business.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]In respect for her policy I had paid the $90 retainer and the full $850 during our initial visitor in January. I attempted to negotiate a fair compromise by asking for partial reimbursement for the work that now needs to be redone. Unfortunately, that was not possible. She stated that, according to her policies, all alteration work is custom and non-refundable once services have begun. However, her policies (Section 11) state that cancellations are eligible for a refund on work that has not been completed, which in this case it was not (photo provided). She expressed that I had not given her the opportunity to correct the issues, but this was already her second attempt. Moving forward would have meant a third attempt, scheduled for March 17th. With my wedding only weeks away, I could not risk another alteration being done poorly and ultimately had to cancel the extended alteration appointment and take my dress elsewhere to remove most of the work she had done (aside from the corset) so it could be properly completed. While she is very kind and may handle smaller alterations well, I cannot recommend her for larger or more complex projects. I hope this review helps future brides not to end up in the same situation as myself to prevent the stress and hopefully save you time and money.

    Sherri's beautiful work!

    Sherri was absolutely amazing!!! She went above and beyond for me on my wedding gown. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I truly felt like a princess on my special day.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Please hire her for your wedding gown needs! You will not be disappointed!!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]She was so communicative from the beginning and was a fast easy response.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Plus ! She's mobile !! No need to drive anywhere she drives to you! She's fair about her pricing as well! I got my gown at new leaf bridal and The Scarlett seam was on there top 3 recommendation! Hire her!!

    Dress with full alterations. Fixed the top and added straps. She also shorted my dress as I wore flats.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]First of all she does house calls, which was amazing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]She was so lovely to work with.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] She altered the dress and when she brought it back and we tried it on she showed me how to bustle it. She took so much time with us and care of the dress she was Amazing to work with.

    Finding the right dress is hard enough, but finding someone you trust to alter it is even harder. But Sherri really makes you feel comfortable and she did such an amazing job. With all of the wedding planning I did not have time to drag my dress around to different places. I sent out messages on yelp to find someone to do the work. Sherri responded quickly along with a couple of others. In total I got 7 quotes and some were extremely ridiculous. Hers was competitive but what sealed the deal was the fact that SHE COMES TO YOU. So we set up a date and time and I paid a deposit and she came. Even with my two toddlers in the house she was patient and kind. She showed up on time with good communication. She had me try the dress on and took her measurements and then the scariest part of all... she took my dress. It wasn't so scary after all. She communicated with me throughout the process and brought the dress back in time. I tried it on for the final fitting with her and I could not have been happier. That was the first time in this whole process I was able to feel my dress made for me! She did amazing and even let me keep what fabric she removed as I requested. Included in this review will be pictures of the day I bought the dress so you can see how much was pinned behind me. The back had to be taken in down the zipper and the straps had to be shortened. And of course there are pictures of the big day. I want to say thank you to Sherri for making my wedding dress my dream dress. You did amazing. I highly recommend her services to any and all stressed out brides needing alterations. She comes to you!!! I can't thank you enough.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Sherri is so kind and talented! I loved the process of working with her.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] She made my dress everything that I hoped for. She added detachable sleeves, lace around the hem of my dress, and made my dress fit perfectly. I'm so grateful for her detailed work. She was responsive, flexible, and really made my vision come alive. I 100% percent recommend her services! Thanks again, Sherri!

    Sherri is so awesome! Grateful I was able to find her months in advance She made my wedding dress fit so perfectly. She's caring and makes sure you're happy with her services. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking.

    Dress straps taken in

    Wonderful business! I got my bridesmaid dress late (a week and a half before the wedding). I was extremely worried because my dress was VERY big in the chest and belly area. I contacted The Scarlett Seam right away and they were able to squeeze me in. I requested to have my dress taken in along with the straps to make the dress more form fitting. The Scarlett Seam was able to get my dress done in less than 6 days! WOW! The dress came out PERFECT and fit like a glove I WAS SO AMAZED at how fast this service was at such a good price point. The Scarlett seam is a mobile service, so they came to me for measurements/pickup and drop off. So awesome. I will come back to them with all my needs in future. Thank you so much !!
