Dresses
Karen first started sewing for the public in 1966 when she made a bridesmaid's dress for a friend. Within a year, she had expanded a little to informal dresses and most of the work over the years has been all women's clothing. The only crocheted dresses have been the two she made for her daughters one Easter. She has made about a dozen wedding gowns over the years, from silk to chiffon, even made up her own pattern for one in the Spring of 2000. With the alterations schedule being so demanding, she seldom makes a gown from scratch, though she wouldn't turn down a job if that was the bride's earnest desire.

Services
Estimates for alterations are based on seeing the garment first, therefore not given over the phone.
Bridal gown pricing will be based on cost of materials and labor, as well as on how rushed the project must be.
Personal fitting at your home, and drop off of completed garments are possible for a fee.
Rush sewing is possible, even anticipated with bridal wear.
Alterations on bridal wear purchased elsewhere are welcomed.
 

Women's Clothing
Alterations range from hemming, to sizing for better fit, and some mending. 
A whole wardrobe of mix and match separates for a hard-to-fit professional woman can be done.
