This week we taking a look at a wedding dress we completed for Ashley!
Ashley fell in love with an Allure Couture wedding dress in blush at Ava's Bridal.
With her wedding in a few months, there was no time to order another size.
After shopping at several bridal salons in the DFW area, she knew this was HER dress!
Ashley said yes to the dress and trusted the process - wow!
It's terrifying to let someone do this level of work, but hopefully sharing these projects will show you how it's done and end result.
Original size 8 to a size 14:
Ashley gives her testimonial on camera, thank you Ashley!

Every seamstress & alteration business has their own career path + customer service that make them a good fit for you.
When it comes to letting a dress out, here are a few tips!
1. INTERVIEW - Use a seamstress/tailor who communicates effectively, shows you their work and can give social proof.
2. EXPERIENCED - Seamstresses/tailors who specialize in bridal tend to have access to the materials needed to match and know how to make brides feel secure through the process.
3. FABRICS + SEAM ALLOWANCE - don't allow your seams to be vulnerable. Have ample seam allowance to allow the bride to sit, dance, and move without breaking delicate formal fabrics.
4. SAMPLES - the seamstress/tailor will be able to open your dress and show you what it will look like/feel like in the correct size (end result). Before investing into the labor, I recommend a small deposit to allow the seamstress/tailor to open your dress with the samples I show in stories on Instagram. We offer this service with our clients + they love it!
