Lindsay is the Made With Love whisperer. She sews 90% of the dresses we get in from that brand. I’m pretty sure she can alter them in her sleep

Sometimes while sewing you do what was pinned and it just doesn’t look right. A good tailor (like me 😉) will stop and reevaluate.

The James dress by doesn’t have a traditional side seam in the bodice. This dress needed to come in 2.5” in the bust and waist! After taking it in on the diagonal just out of the crepe, I decided I needed to take it in 1/3 from the lace and 2/3 from the crepe instead so the end result wasn’t so sharp.

First photo is the progression of pre-altered, first run, and then the final result ready for her second fitting. Do you think I made the right call?🧵 🪡

Have a dress that you don’t like as a dress but would love if it were just a skirt? We can help with that 🧵 ✨

B***s. I’ve said it before and l’ll say it again. It’s all about making the b***s look good. Sometimes dresses are patterned weird or your cup size just isn’t size the designer arbitrarily decided on. That’s ok, because we got you! 🧵 🪡

Both of these photos are the original dress and then after altering for the 2nd fitting. They are in progress so seam allowances are not fully trimmed and necklines/armholes are not closed up.

Original hems: you ask for them, we just make them look good! Most places don’t do cuffable original hems. But we do 🙌

Even basic alterations like hemming pants take a number of steps. Here, Nina breaks it down for you. These pants also have a side slit we replaced. Great job, Nina 👏 👏

A couple photos from the alteration process. There was too much fabric above the chest, so we extended the bust dart into a front princess seam to the shoulder. Plus shortened the straps and took in the sides. Looking good, Lindsay!

This bride was on the fence about the bustle. ALWAYS get a bustle installed or at least a wrist loop. Great for photos before hand if you will be outdoors and of course for dancing. Plus, they look cool 🧵
