Custom Sewing by Heather

Heather was amazingly fun to work with! She was patient and her work is amazing. She will forever be my new go to for any of my needs! Thanks Heather =)

Heather is an amazing woman to work with! I would recommend her alteration service to anyone She knows her stuff and will give you her honest opinion. She did a few alterations to my wedding dress and put in alot of bustles in my dress. It looked great when she was finished. Thanks Heather!

Heather did an amazing job with my alterations on my dress. I had a very full dress with a long train. Heather re-did the hemline so that it was a bubble hemline that flowed more with the dress. She did an amazing job on the bustle. My dress had lots of asymmetrical lines and she made the bustle look like it belonged with the dress. She was very good about finding times that work with the brides. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who is looking for dress alterations.

Heather is an absolutely wonderful person to work with. I would highly recommend her for all of your alteration services. She not only does a very high quality job, she listens and is very professional to work with. Her suggestions with my wedding dress made it absolutely gorgeous. It is a great fit.Heather also understand urgency. I didn't have a huge rush on my dress, but if I did, I know she'd be able to accommodate and fit me in with my desired timeline. I appreciate Heather's service and all she did to make my wedding day a success!

Heather was my "angel" as I rushed to get alterations after receiving my dress only 2 weeks before the wedding! Heather is calm, confident, kind, and very talented: I had no questions putting my complete trust in her. She tackled taking-in, steaming, adding a sash, bra, and french bustle with ease in only 2 weeks time! My dress turned out just as I had always imagined it!! Thanks Heather!!

We bought off the rack wedding and bridesmaid dresses and had them altered to make all the sleeves and lengths match. Such beautiful work..the dresses came out perfect.

I HIGHLY recommend Custom Sewing by Heather. I wanted a more modest neckline, a bolero jacket made, and a bustle for my wedding dress, material added to the bottom of my 4 bridesmaids dresses along with boleros for all of them, and one of my flower girl dresses taken in. She did it all and did it AMAZING. She is very busy but does her best to work around YOUR schedule. My dress & bolero looked like it came together - no one knew I had work done on it unless I told them. I don't know how many times at my wedding people said, "I LOVE your bustle!!!" I had 3 in town bridesmaids who ALL missed their appts with her one week before my wedding, and she still fit them all in! My out of town bridesmaids flight got delayed multiple times the day before the wedding, and Heather still made time to see her after rehearsal and the morning of the wedding. She doesn't just do it for the money (which is very reasonable I might add), she genuinely wants you to look good on our special day! One more thing, if you aren't 100% sure what you want, she is so helpful with giving ideas that work, and letting you know who wouldn't work as well. Call Heather if you want the BEST seamstress!

Heather was wonderful! She did such an incredible job working with me and a couple of my bridesmaids! She works magic! I was so incredibly happy with my bustle! The bridesmaid dresses fit perfectly! Thank you Heather! I will be coming back to you :)

Heather is AMAZING! I had someone else first alter my dress and it resulted in being too short. So I took my dress to Heather to see if it was fixable, and not only did she fix it, but customized it so it was like no other dress, and it looks BEAUTIFUL! I couldn't be any happier. She turned a disaster into a perfect dress, made just for me :) I would and will recommend Heather to anybody needing alterations. She is a miracle worker!

I bought my dress at Belle Boutique and the recommend Heather to assist with my alteration and let me tell you I'm glad I contacted her. She is an amazing seamstress! She added a bussell to my dress that was gorgeous. She even color coded the strings of the bussell so anyone could assist me with my dress. She was extremely nice and very professional. She does great work and in a very timely manner. Thank you so much Heather for making my dress fit perfectly for my big day!

Heather did a great job on my dress. She is decently priced and completed all of my alterations including a bustle for $190. She works from her home and does have a small dog in her house. She keeps it very clean, so no need to worry about do hair on your dress. She is also quick and completed my dress in a few weeks.

Had a bustle in my dress and it came out great...exactly what we had discussed. Cost $96.00, I guess I don't know if that's a good deal or not since I've never had a bustle put in anything before. Heather was very nice and knew what she was doing. The only downside was that she works out of her home and the bathroom where you have to change is small and cramped and nowhere to really put anything. Also, she has one dog for sure and you have to walk through her hallway/living room for her to see you in your dress. So, if you've been trying to keep your dress as clean as possible, you probably gathered up a ton of dog hair/dander by walking through all of that. It did appear clean, but dresses pick up everything. I would recommend Heather for alterations.

If I could, I would give Heather a 10/5. I originally had a relative do alterations on my wedding dress thinking it would save some money in the wedding process. After my dress was returned for the third time with visible mistakes and a bussel that would have fallen apart, I contacted Heather (referred originally from the store I bought my gown at) two days before the wedding. Despite Heather's busy schedule and my last minute emergency, she fit me in and had my dress ready the next day. Her work was amazing, my bussel was perfect and held up throughout the night and the price was extremely reasonable considering it was a rush. The second I left Heather's after dropping my dress off, I felt extremely relieved that she would fix my dress and I was absolutely right. Not only did she relieve the stress caused by the last minute emergency, I felt amazing on my wedding day and the dress that I fell in love with looked wonderful. Heather is extremely gifted and I would recommend her to any bride needing alterations.

Heather did excellent work! She was extremely understanding with my busy schedule and worked with me to make my appointments at times that worked for me! I would definitely go back!

Wow! Heather did an AMAZING job. I came in with my dress (from Bella Bridal- who recommended her). As soon as my dress arrived and I had tried it on- I realized there was SO much to be done to get it fitted right. My initial appointment w/Heather went great- I had to have material on the straps taken in, I had to take in the waist, I had to have cups put in- as well as having the bust area re-worked because it was all sorts of wrong upon opening it. Also, I had to have the bottom hemmed along with bustling (which by the way- the bustle was an entire job in itself). Basically, she did everything to make my wedding dress tailored to me and the end result was PERFECTION. It fit me like a glove- every single item I noted to her that I needed to see changed- she changed. I would recommend her to any bride who wants a seamstress who is talented. I do recommend her to any of my girlfriends who are planning their weddings!

I was referred to Heather Baldridge from a friend that had her wedding dress altered/designed by Heather and it looked fantastic, so I truly felt at ease letting her work on my dress.I am pregnant and I was in a wedding when I was 32 weeks along. The place where I had ordered my dress (a non-maternity bridesmaid dress) ordered it a wee-bit too small in the stomach area and too big in the bust area. Also, I needed fashionable sleeves added to it since it was sleeveless and I preffered to have sleeves on it. Heather was very flexible with scheduling me for fittings; the bridal shop where I got my dress had kept pushing back the arrival date for my dress and Heather had no problem re-scheduling sessions and she had my dress done in 2 weeks. On the night of the wedding, I had SO many compliments on my dress and how it looked like it had been designed as a maternity dress! Heather did an awesome job altering it so it looked fashionable, yet comfortable for a mom-to-be :)

Heather comes to the rescue again! Will never go anywhere else. The second time around, I was the PA in another friend's wedding - bought a beautiful long black dress. Not as much needed to be done compared to my last alteration a couple of years ago - needed the bottom brought up a bit, the zipper fixed, and some hooks replaced in the back. Again, Heather was very reasonably priced, always a very welcoming feeling in her home, and the alterations were done very quickly and professionally. You've got a customer for life Heather! Maybe one of these years I'll have the pleasure of having you work on my own wedding dress! :)Thanks again,Sarah

Heather is absolutely amazing! My girlfriend recommended her after Heather did the alterations on her wedding gown and I couldn't be happier with my decision. Not only is Heather a truly wonderful person she is also great at her job. She did the alterations on my wedding dress as well as my bridesmaids dresses and some of our regular clothes as well. Not only is she a great listener paying special attention to individual body issues of each person in my bridal party but she also made great suggestions. Heather re-made an entire section of my sister's dress so she wouldn't be too "booby" as we call it on the wedding day. My dress fit me like a glove and I felt comfortable the whole night, actually I felt like the prettiest girl in the whole world who just happened to be comfortable as well. The price was very reasonable for the amount of work she did on all of our dresses and she even schedules steaming so the bride doesn't have to worry about taking the dress to another place. I am going to miss working with Saint Heather as we all call her now...until I buy some ill fitting clearance clothes and go see her again.

I hired Heather to help me design to and to create my wedding dress. I wanted something completely original and had a few ideas about how I wanted the dress to look. Heather helped me create my dream dress and it was more amazing than I ever dreamed. I am incredibly picky and Heather far exceeded my expectations! She was so patient and professional. I'd highly recommend her to anyone!
