Testimonials
Jennie was an unbelievable asset to my entire wedding day. The dress I chose was intended to be quite fitted which is not how the dress had looked when it arrived (and since every woman’s body is shaped differently, it just didn’t fit mine quite right). As this was my first time buying a wedding dress, I had no expectations on how a seamstress would make this dress fit. Jennie completely eased my stress, and communicated the process of how she was going to make this dress fit exactly as I wanted. She took her time pinning the dress with me in it so I could really get a sense of how fitted I was comfortable with, and how it would look overall. Being 5’2” the dress came in quite long, and had beautiful scalloped edging at the bottom.
Once the dress was hemmed you wouldn’t have though any changes were made. Jennie removed the lace, made the dress to my perfect length and carefully restitched it in place. The scalloped edge was beautifully in tact. Jennie also ensured that the delicate lace laid perfectly on my back which honestly led to some of my favourite photos from the day. She worked with me to ensure the bust was the look I wanted. She allowed me to test different cups before sewing them in to help me make a decision on what looked and felt best. The bustle was easy for my bridesmaids to attach and worked out great after the ceremony. I also appreciate that Jennie scheduled multiple appointments for pinning and seeing it again with adjustments to ensure I was satisfied. Needless to say, my dress fit me like a glove.
Jennie was my wedding- fairy godmother. I feel as though alterations are such an impactful part of your wedding that often gets overlooked. The fit of this dress made me feel confident, beautiful and completely myself for my wedding. I owe this 100% to Jennie. Her skills are unparalleled and she is a total bundle of joy to work with!!!

"I would like to take this opportunity to express my deep gratitude for having had Jennie as my seamstress for my wedding dress. Her talent is undeniable. She has an excellent knowledge of the human form and how to accentuate it perfectly, allowing each individual to look and feel their very best. Her work is exquisite, and her attention to detail makes even the most perfectionist brides (such as myself!) feel confident knowing my precious dress in her skilled hands. She understands how to achieve the best “look” and “fit” for all types of garments and her extensive experience has enabled her to know the “tricks” to achieve a beautiful outcome.
I was extremely nervous about my dress and after working with Jennie I felt reassured, comfortable and thrilled about the final result. Finding a talented seamstress can be challenging, and Jennie’s kindness and patience are added bonuses to an already extremely talented and skilled professional who is honest, diligent, and who delivers. I could not be more grateful for having worked with Jennie, and I highly recommend her for any tailoring, alterations, or bridal needs. She is an expert in her craft."
