Ahh, High School Prom

All the dresses for the high school prom are all the buzz right now. This is the season of alterations; this year, I set a max for each event. I took no more than ten dresses per prom weekend.

Alterations are part of my business plan; I take them in once a week, on Tuesdays, 11-6 PM. One-week turnaround for business/casual wear and two to three weeks for formal wear. Only accept a certain amount of formal wear at a time, so please always contact me before bringing it in.

Prom Weekend April 14th

I am starting to receive the photos from proud parents. I will update the gallery as they come in 🙂 When I get photos of the amazing people wearing the garments that I alter, it really makes my heart happy. Seeing the confidence that an altered dress or skirt or slacks can bring, there really is nothing like it. I LOVE it when someone loves their outfit before but ADORES it after it’s altered. It shows how much a little bit of time and energy can make in a garment.

I always say, there is nothing like a well-fitting garment to make you happy and feel good!

Prom Dresses

The dresses have been stunning: the chiffon, the draping layers, the beading, and the glamor. I can’t wait to see next year’s dresses; it seems I had many beautiful, multi-layered chiffon dresses, lots of beading, and stunning side slits on one side. Also lots of 2-piece garments; there were a few that I completely revamped from one style to another, but alas no photos… and I am so bad about getting them before and after I do the alterations. I really should get better at that; I mean, if I keep doing them, it’s definitely my portfolio.

Ahh, to be that age again!
