“Alterations Create Your Perfect Wedding Dress”

It’s very important to use a Wedding dress Alterations Specialist to alter your gown. Why do I say this?

Fashion experts say . . . "Fit is everything!" "Without fit... there’s no style!"

This statement is especially true of wedding dresses.

Since having a properly fitted wedding gown is essential to your overall appearance on your wedding day... you need to choose a sewing professional who specializes in altering wedding dresses.

"I am Desiree Brown, owner of Desiree’s Custom Sewing a home-based business, in Hampton, Virginia; established since 1985.

Over the past 24 years, as a wedding dress alterations specialist and designer of wedding gowns, "I have had the privilege to serve the needs of brides in Virginia, and brides willing to travel from other states such as North Carolina, Maryland and the Washington DC area."

"Helping brides achieve the picture perfect look" is my business motto, because with the right fit, I’ll help you achieve a picture perfect look for your wedding day!"

"My Wedding Dress Designing Skills Will Benefit You" How?

"It doesn't matter what shape or size you are... you can have a complimentary fit."

If you have fitting challenges, such as those experienced by petite and plus size figures, don't worry.

There are design and fitting techniques I will use to enhance or de-emphasize areas of your figure, depending on your situation.

Using skills I acquired as a former wedding dress designer and dressmaker, "I will apply couture techniques when doing your alterations to achieve a custom made look and personalized fit for you."
