FAIRY GODMOTHER TREATMENT
I provide a warm nurturing environment. It's calm. It's one-on-one. My brides enjoy coming to their fittings. Planning a wedding can be stressful and I strive for my studio to be your safe haven.
I want you to look and feel your best. I will offer advice, options, solutions and will always advocate for your vision. This is a collaborative experience and I want you to communicate with me. I know how it looks but I want to know how it feels.
I'm a creative problem solver with a couture and costume background so if there's a way to do what you want, I will figure it out.

FITTINGS
3-4 one-on-one fittings with me in my home studio as I do the work in stages (and I'm a perfectionist). I like to start about 8 weeks prior to the wedding date.
I customize the overall fit whether that is in the bodice, shoulders, small of back and/or hip area. Includes bridal hem, reinforcing buttons and/or hooks, custom designed bridal bustle and/or dance loop if desired.
The final fitting includes a bustle tutorial with your bridesmaids and I provide written instructions (or video instructions if you prefer).

SHAPEWEAR GUIDANCE
Proper fitting undergarments and shapewear are crucial to the fit of the dress. I will advise you on products and have some samples in the studio.
NECESSITIES
I provide what's needed: body tape, button hooks, emergency kit, travel garment bag and packing (if destination wedding).
STEAMING |
I steam your gown and veil as part of your bridal package.
For an additional fee, I'm happy to steam up to 10 additional items (bridesmaids dresses, bridal robes/pajamas, etc). Please inquire in person.

COMMUNICATION
Many girls over the years have commented on how much they appreciate that I'm available to them. It's a collaboration. I will share my cell phone number with you and be available for questions, concerns, mini freak-outs ;)
