“Ms. Evelyn was recommended to my daughter for her wedding dress alterations and I’m so glad we went with her! Evelyn was truly a gem and joy to work with. She coached my daughter on how to walk and turn in her wedding gown, that had a train and cape. The dress needed fitting in the upper body and shoulders and Evelyn made it fit perfectly. She guided us in the best way to bustle the gown and taught us how to bustle it so the train would not be dragging on the ground. When she saw the veil she recommended a different style and custom made a new veil for my daughter. Evelyn was so genuine and kind and I will highly recommend her to anyone needing alterations!
— Carolyn, Mother of the Bride“Evelyn altered my wedding gown, as well as my maid of honor's dress. She was absolutely wonderful in every way, and not only helped with the dresses, but also helped us prepare for the day itself. She helped me practice walking in the dress, and making sure my made of honor knew how to help me get dressed, and how to bustle the dress. My dress was very intricate in the places that needed alterations. Evelyn did a phenomenal job! I would highly recommend her because she is very skilled, and because she is so fun to work with.”
— Lindsey, Bride“I worked with Evelyn to alter two dresses- my wedding gown, purchased from Urban Set next door, and my after party dress! She was so friendly every time I saw her, easy to chat with, and gave great advice throughout the process.
She taught me how to walk & turn in the dress, how to stand when chatting so photos would turn out well, and was always happy to meet whichever friend I brought along to any particular visit.
Evelyn was quick, timely, and very affordable! I would highly recommend Evelyn to anyone in need of alteration services.”

— Tara, Mother of the Groom“Evelyn was a true God-send during my wedding planning process. I originally took my dress to a different seamstress who wasn't able to attach the sleeves the way I wanted. I took my dress to Evelyn and she was patient, listened to what I was hoping for and came up with creative solutions. In addition to the sleeves, my dress kept falling down to the point where I was scared to move because of my breasts falling out. But leave it Evelyn to save the day again!! She was meticulous in her work and I am so grateful to have found such an amazing and skillful seamstress!
