Christine is incredible!

I was looking for a seamstress that could hem my bridesmaid dress before my sister's wedding in September 2021. I contacted her back in May 2021 to see if I could schedule an appointment with her to hem my dress. I was able schedule and see her in July 2021.

The bridesmaid dress that I purchased is not the typical bridesmaid dress. It's fancy and had four layers of fabric underneath, so she had to hem all of those layers too. Christine was very detailed about how she would hem my dress and also provided multiple choices of how to fix the hem line on my dress. She even added the back tail string wrist holder, so when I'm not taking pictures, I can have that wrist band to easily walk to places and feel comfortable with the dress tail up. She finished my dress in the beginning of August 2021 before my sister's wedding.

The photos that I included in this review are the "Before" pictures. You can see Christine's sewing pins that shows how she would hem the dress. The results of the finished hem line was gorgeous. I was able to walk in this dress with my wedges with no problems. I would highly recommend Christine's Alterations for alterations.

Keep in mind to always schedule at least 4-6 months before prior to the wedding if you have multiple areas that needs to be altered. This is to make sure that the seamstress has time to alter your dress. I only need one area to be altered and that was just the hemline.

Thank you, Christine for making me look fabulous! I highly recommend this...

I got my wedding dress altered by Christine and I’m so happy that I did! Christine was great to work with: she shortened my straps, added bra cups, shortened the dress, and added a bustle. She was responsive and upfront in what the cost would be throughout the process. I felt like she really listened to what my day-of needs would be and didn’t try to pressure me to make alterations that I wasn’t happy with. As an example I’m an avid folk dancer and knew that I would need the flexibility to be able to dance without worrying about my dress ripping or being uncomfortable. When she did the bustle, she made sure to make two loops for each button to go through, in case one of them ripped. That extra security really helped me to be confident on the dance floor. The whole wedding day, everyone was commenting on how well the dress fit me. I was so happy with the job she did on my wedding dress, I ended up taking an old bridesmaid dress to her to make it more wearable for events (moved the straps and shortened it). I recently wore the old bridesmaid dress to another wedding and got so many compliments on it. I would recommend Christine to anyone who is looking to get alterations done!

Christine's Alterations was professional, detailed, and did an exquisite job on not one but TWO dresses for my wedding day. The first dress is an oversized, flowy dress that I wanted a hem on the front and the train. Christine hemmed the dress perfectly with my shoe height, and provided the extra material so I could use it in another way.

The second (reception) dress was a fit and flare with a lot of lace and tulle. Christine had to rework the zipper to take in the bodice; you can't even tell I had alterations done and it fits PERFECT!

My wedding date isn't until September, and I contacted Christine in May to allow for enough time for fitting appointments and the actual alterations to be completed. I would definitely recommend getting in with Christine as early as possible, as she was able to accommodate my work schedule and I was able to see her on one weekend morning and two evenings after work.

Finally, I have to mention that Christine's prices are fair for the work she puts into these dresses and not overpriced at all. I would definitely recommend Christine's Alterations to anyone, especially people getting married, to make your garments...
