    I absolutely loved working with Courtney. Not only is she an inspired artist and impeccable tailor, she is also just a ton of fun to be with. She added a lot of humor, warmth and support to the weeks and months leading up to my wedding. I felt listened to and encouraged and I could not have been happier with the final product. I've already referred two friends and they have been thrilled with her work and presence as well!

    I highly recommend Courtney!! She did my dress alterations for my wedding and I felt comfortable with her from the get go! I trusted her with my dress and alterations! She did my bustle (which was the easiest I've ever seen/ 3 hooks and ribbons), she took it in at the top and during the second fitting took the lining out a little to account for the excessive squats I was doing!! Her personality, professionalism, and efficiency were amazing!! I couldn't be happier with my choice!!!

    Courtney did such an amazing job altering my wedding dress. My dress turned out to be pretty complicated to alter - it was too big in some spots, too small in others, and with tons of boning, multiple layers, and detailing - and she made it look absolutely perfect. I felt beautiful and comfortable all day at my wedding. Courtney was also wonderful to work with - fun, supportive, knowledgeable, and completely transparent about what work needed to be done and the rates (which were extremely reasonable).

    Courtney did the alterations on my wedding dress and she did an amazing job!

    ... I picked up my dress the day before I left for Mexico it was pressed and ready to go! It wasn't even a working day for Courtney and, when I pulled up to her home she brought it my car. Talk about service!

    Courtney is awesome if you need alterations done go to her she's very detail oriented, reasonably priced, soooo patient and super nice. You won't be disappointed!

    I'm so glad I found her!!!

    Thanks Courtney for the perfect fit :)

    Courtney is a dream to work with and as talented as they get! I had some major alterations that I wanted to make to my wedding dress and she was so accommodating; the finished product was better than I could've imagine. She could get away with charging 2x what her rates are for her years of skill and care that she put into my wedding dress - she made me feel so comfortable and beautiful. The best!
