Tailor-Made Touches

Get more out of what you own by shortening a hem or turning a dress into a top. Not sure how to make it work? We’re full of ideas!

From Formal Gown to Chic Separates

Transform fabric from your alterations (or your entire dress after the big day) into meaningful mementos handcrafted by our alterations artisans. From hair scrunchies to pet pillows, each item is thoughtfully stitched from the very fabric of your dress. Curated packages include pieces you can incorporate into your wedding and ones you can carry with you beyond the big day. For more details, ask a Dream Maker in-store.

Ever After Collection

If you fall for a strapless gown but wish it weren’t strapless, we can fix that. Take your pick: thick or thin straps, short or long sleeves.

From Strapless to Statement Sleeves

We can tailor your whole wardrobe to bring out your best: the blazer you wear to important meetings, your new jeans, even vintage finds that need a modern touch.

From Boxy Fit to Perfectly Tailored

We’ll ensure your gown looks flawless for the big day, meticulously prepped down to the last detail.

What’s included: A top-to-bottom review, checking that every bead and appliqué is secure and each layer steamed and pressed to perfection.

Our in-store alterations artisans can work their magic on almost anything in your closet, from wedding dresses to jeans, going-out tops to suits.
