Bridesmaids • Mothers of the Bride/Groom • Gala & Formalwear

Every special event deserves a garment that feels intentional, refined, and tailored to you. Whether you’re standing beside the bride, celebrating your child, or stepping into a black-tie evening, your gown should support the moment — not distract from it.

At Sewing Hands Alterations, special-occasion tailoring is approached with the same care and precision as my bridal work. Clean lines, thoughtful shaping, and expert construction come together to create a polished, comfortable fit that lets you focus on the event rather than the dress.

What You Can Expect

✔ A personalized fitting experience

I walk you through the garment from top to hem, discussing what’s needed to elevate the fit while keeping the integrity of the design.

✔ Skilled craftsmanship

Formalwear fabrics demand a trained hand — chiffons, satins, crepe, lace, and beading are all handled with care and technical precision.

✔ Clear expectations

I outline the recommended alterations and provide an estimate before any work begins. Most special-occasion alterations range from $125–$250, depending on complexity.

✔ Elevated results

You should feel confident, secure, and proud in your garment — not pinned in or tugging at seams all night. My goal is to give you comfort and confidence from the first step to the last dance.
