I received my wedding dress later than I expected from my designer and had just moved to Delaware, so I was on the hunt for a seamstress that was great quality in our new area and Tennar Alterations fit the bill PERFECTLY. Not only were they able to do rush alterations in just 4 weeks with room for 3 fittings, but they made sure to try every bustle type with me to make sure I was happy with the style we chose (and I was!! so glad it was comfy to sit in haha). Christina was genuinely so kind and I felt completely comfortable in her presence! As a larger bride there can be some wedding spaces where it feels like judgement or rude comments may be made, but I never felt an OUNCE of that here. She had such a calming presence and welcoming vibe! As someone that has sewn for most of my life I can really appreciate great work and the hem of my wedding dress was perfection, all (what felt like) hundreds of feet of it! It was the PERFECT length and I was able to walk without having to hike up my skirts which made walking down the aisle sooo easy. Please do not let Tennar Alterations being a newer shop with a younger seamstress deter you from going here, they took my $5k+ dress and cape veil and handled it with utmost care and the highest quality.

Read moreChristina was an absolute gem to work with. Detail-oriented, listened to my concerns/wants, and answered any questions I had along the way.

She also was very reassuring and made me feel confident. I also had to reschedule my appointments a few times throughout the process and she was always so understanding and kind about it....
Read moreChristina was AMAZING to work with! She was recommended by a friend of a friend and I am so glad I went to her! She was an hour drive for me but SO WORTH IT! Christina is so nice and did beautiful work! My wedding dress has a lot of lace and mesh material that needed to be taken in so I was a little worried how the alterations would look but my dress fit me like a glove and looked perfect!! I never wanted to take my dress off! My bustle lasted all night without any issues! Christina was easy to work with and schedule appointments, and I thought her pricing was fair!! She was willing to offer any tips and ideas for any questions I asked! It’s hard to find a good and trustworthy seamstress but I can’t recommend Christina enough!!! She...
