I didn't have the "advertised" dress shopping experience - there were a bunch a liked, none that I loved, and I actually ended up buying 3 dresses! Right before purchasing a fourth dress I reached out to Erin to see if there was a way she could take what I already had and turn it closer to my expectations.
She did NOT disappoint. Her expertise and advice was super helpful and she made sure I looked and felt like a princess on my wedding day. She not only did standard sizing and tailoring, but also worked with me to purchase and add lace applique pieces to the dress to make it unique and reflect my personal style.
She was very accommodating and fit me in about 2 weeks before my wedding for a quick alteration to the dress. I felt very confident and beautiful walking down the aisle and could not have done that without Erin's help and support.
Finally, she even helped my turn one of the other wedding dresses I purchased into a reception dress by shortening the shirt and adding some fringe. I was very happy all my extra wedding dresses wouldn't go to waste!
I might even take the 3rd one back to and see if Erin can work it into something for the RenFair this summer - I have no doubt with her talents it would be an easy ask!

And while I can tell you all about neurons, I couldn't tell you jack about making a wedding dress, so Professor Erin guided me through the process. Importantly, she did not judge. As someone who looks more washed out in white than the Outer Banks post hurricane, I wanted a red dress. Other bridal stores kind of scoffed at the idea and implied I'd regret it. Well, I didn't and Erin did such a knockout job that family members who weren't keen on the idea left my wedding flabbergasted...even my more Southern Baptist family. Erin gets 5 stars because google doesn't have a Milky Way option. So you do you, and...
Read moreErin was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding day. I came to her after being devastated that the original dress I purchased did not work out. I ultimately bought a new off the rack dress that was several sizes too big with less than 2 months until my wedding day She turned it into my dream dress! The whole process was wonderful-- from fitting me in quickly under a tight timeline, to having very flexible scheduling options to being reasonably priced. She even did my Mom's MOB dress (fit us into the same appt since she was from out of town). I am so thankful for Erin, and she is a true master of her craft! (Before and...
