You found her! The best of the best, and there is no need to keep looking because Michelle is going to take anything you give her and treat it with the love and care it deserves!
SO thankful that I found her to make some pretty massive alterations and tailor my wedding dress for me.
Very friendly and personable, and always greeting me with a smile, I looked forward to the visits to her studio to do my dress fittings. I had a very specific vision in mind for my dress, and Michelle absolutely nailed it.

Whether you're looking for long-lasting quality, impeccable craftsmanship, beautiful fabrics, or a perfectly customized gift you won't find anywhere else, Ellerhandmade is the...

She fitted 3 different weddings dresses for me-- anything from "sleeve surgery" to making a dress a bit bigger after some unexpected weight gain, to making a custom wedding dress from a skirt I ordered off amazon and another dress I'd purchased. There isn't anything she can't do!!! She is also unfailingly lovely, a great partner in thinking through styling choices, and she is communicative every step of the way. STRONGLY RECOMMEND HER...
