Rebecca worked magic on my wedding dress! I had bought a flowy dress on Etsy, but it ended up not being what I really wanted. I was unable to return it, so I looked at doing some alterations. I showed Rebecca what I had, and pictures of other dresses that had elements of what i wanted, and she was able to make it happen. I had a last minute, tight timeline and she graciously was able to fit me into her schedule. She was quick, but thorough, asking me a lot of questions to help me really suss out what I was hoping to achieve, both during the initial fitting and again when I went in to try it on.
The original dress was listed and marketed for maternity photoshoots, so it was VERY transparent, with a very loose top and skirt, and an elastic waistband. I loved the flowy look, loved the sequin fabric, and I love an elastic waistband - but it did not give me the look or feel I wanted on my wedding day. Plus, I did NOT want a completely see-through dress haha. I asked for a tighter fitting top and sleeves, but to keep the back open and the off-the-shoulder look if possible. I also asked for the front of the top to be lined, and the skirt as well. When it came to choosing the color of the lining fabric, I didn't feel very strongly about it except I didn't want white and I just wanted it to look nice in the end; she found a great wine-colored chiffon, and while it looked beautiful in her shop, I could never have anticipated how PERFECT it ended up being while we were taking photos.
I felt so beautiful on my wedding day, and I have received so many compliments on just the dress alone! Can't recommend Modify Alterations & Boutique enough! Thank you Rebecca!! read more
