Alterations By Kristen

Happy New Year! We pray this year brings wonderful things to you all! This year, we will be making a few changes to our business model. The biggest one being... that we will be going to 100% appointment only consultations. Due to the part-time nature of our business and the fact that we share the building with another business we simply cannot be at our shop at the same times from week to week. The best way to reach us is here on Facebook! Bianca handles everyday wear alterations and can also be reached at 314-397-4245 preferably by text. Kristen handles bridal and formal dresses, and can be reached at 314-584-9568, also preferably by text. Please understand that due to a large demand for alterations services, some alterations may take longer. We try our best to get the work done as soon as we can, but we cannot always guarantee a fast turn-a-round. All alterations will be completed in the order they are received. Any work that requires a completion time less than three weeks from the day it is dropped off may be subject to additional rush fees. We are honored to use the skills our grandma's gave us to offer alterations services in our community and we thank you for the business! Bianca will be in the shop tomorrow, Tuesday January 5th from 10-4 for those of you in need of basic alterations.

Everyone stay healthy! Please call with any questions

This is so special to me. Makes all the long days worth it when you know you are appreciated. What a beautiful heirloom

Another special project Moms wedding gown has been turned into a First Communion dress like no one else will have! Hoping to get pics of mom in the dress as well for a comparison...stay posted!

This has been several months ago, but I just came across the pictures and it made me smile so big. Andi came to me with her Mom, her Moms dress, a few pics of her dream dress, and hope that I could help. I am so proud of this recreation. WOW what a gorgeous bride, and what wonderful memories I will always cherish from this experience. Thank you for giving me a chance Andi. These are the moments I live for with my clients!

I really enjoyed making a keepsake blanket and first birthday tutu out of a Mom's wedding gown. I love upcycling projects that will remain cherished for years to come

This is so special to me. I don't normally make gowns, I just re-make and custom fit them. I have been blessed with a self taught career (with help from You-Tube University) where I have had the pleasure to do LOTS of special projects. But this is my first full make. The dress is 2 pieces, completely separate gowns. We upcycled and COMPLETELY modified the satin gown underneath and I created the lace dress from a vision and photo Danielle sent me. A gown of matching lace was then made for her mini me. This was not just a commissioned project, but a labor of love for a friend that had confidence I could turn her Pinterest picture into a wedding day photo. And here they are Cheers to my girl Danielle Lindsay and her beautiful new husband and family. Much love girl

Haven't had any luck with boys 24 month clothes and 5/6 shoes. Lots coming in for mom tho, thank you! We will be at the shop 10-6 tomorrow for drop off if you have anything to spare :)
