Can I give 6 stars?!? I had a suit that needed alterations to ‘modernize’ it. During the fitting Stevie made suggestions as to how the alterations should be and it ended up fitting and looking fantastic! The work was impeccable! Pricing was below reasonable! I’ve since brought a few other small items to her with the same results across the board. Summary: Fast, Friendly, knowledgeable, Professional, Quality. I highly recommend Stevie and her work.

I had an amazing experience with Stevie Leigh. I needed my wedding dress altered about 2 months before my wedding. I had gained a little weight in my hips and butt which caused a whole panic attack but Stevie was very comforting and assured me we would be able to make it all work! She kept me in the loop with what she was thinking and offered suggestions (since I clearly had no idea) but most importantly made me feel comfortable! She took the hips out a couple inches, made a corset back, and hemmed it up a little. She also helped alter my daughter’s flower girl dress! Not only did I love her work but her vision and style. Definitely will go back there for any future alterations and recommended her to my bridesmaids!
