Christine is an incredibly talented and skilled artist. When my mother-in-law gifted me her dress from the 80s, I knew it wasn't quite my style, but I still wanted to incorporate it into my big day. After consulting with Christine, we decided to make a purse out of the dress. I gave her some loose directions and asked her to use her creativity -- the final product was better than I could have ever imagined!

The fabric looks even better than when I sent her the dress. The purse is not only stylish but perfectly functional (it held everything I needed for my bachelorette) and looks timeliness. All of the stitching is sturdy. She also made a few other accessories like two hair bows and a pocket square for my soon-to-be husband. All of the items are absolutely gorgeous.

It feels so special to know that these have both familial sentiment and were handmade by someone who truly knows what they're doing -- I can feel the care and artistry when I look...

I had the most wonderful experience with Christine. Just three days before my wedding, another bridal salon ruined my dress and I was in a complete crisis. Christine went above and beyond; she opened the shop on her day off, pulled a selection of gorgeous dresses in my size, and walked me through all the beautiful customizations she could do to create my dream gown on such a short timeline.

Although I ultimately chose a different dress that required less work under the circumstances, Christine’s kindness, talent, and willingness to step in during such a stressful moment was incredible. She truly came to the rescue, and I’ll never forget it.

I could not have asked for a better experience getting my wedding dress altered with Christine! I bought my dress from Kleinfeld’s in NYC but wanted to find someone local to do my alterations. A friend of mine recommended I go to Christine and it truly was the best (and easiest) decision I made during my entire bridal journey. I booked my first (and only!!!!!!) fitting on June 12th and went back on July 17th to try the dress on and ending up going home that same day with my dress after only ONE fitting!!! And not to mention, the dress fit me like a glove. Christine is SO talented and truly a master of her craft. I can’t recommend her enough, it was a wonderful experience. 10/10 would...
