| - I got married this past weekend and I would never have felt as good as I did if it weren't for Debbie. I got my dress from Glitter and Grit and when I received it, it was pretty but not everything I had hoped for originally. I ordered it with sleeves but they came unlined and it was also much more low cut than I had imagined. It needed some serious help to fit me like it should. Glitter and Grit recommended Debbie and I called her immediately. She asked me to send over some pictures and I texted them to her and she responded right away saying she could definitely help make this dress what I dreamed it would be. She does all of her work from her home, which is set up perfectly. Upon walking in her front door you immediately are in a room with tall, giant mirrors and large lights and comfortable couches to make the experience of getting fitted for your dress enjoyable. After meeting her and talking with her for just a few minutes, I knew right then that she was serious and super experienced. She was so confident that she could do all the things I wanted for my dress and I trusted her from the start.
She ordered the exact same fabric that the rest of my dress was lined with so she could also line my sleeves to match. She also altered my dress to have the shoulders fit my petite height and to make the neckline a bit higher like I had imagined. Every time I went for another fitting, I would bring either jewelry, purses, or shoes to try on with my dress to see if they would match and Debbie always gave me the time to do so and offered her opinions when I needed and asked for them. When I came in for my last fitting/pick up the week before my wedding, I walked in the front door and my dress was hanging displayed on the giant mirrors and it looked prettier than ever. For all the many things she did to alter the dress, no one would have ever been able to tell because the quality of her work was so flawless.
Lastly, my dress had a beautiful train that really could not be bustled. I was so torn whether to try to keep it on for the whole night or to cut it off all together. Since my dress was made of tulle, it did not need to be hemmed or measured to be cut from the bottom. It occurred to me that maybe I could wear my dress with my pretty train to the ceremony and then cut it off for the reception. I presented this idea to Debbie, and she said she had never gone to a wedding to do that before but she would think about it. At my next fitting she said she would come to my wedding venue and we agreed on a price for this service. She showed up on Sunday after my ceremony and was waiting in my suite and promptly chopped off my train. It felt like a whole new dress when I went into my reception. What a life saver! I got the best of both worlds out of my beautiful dress.
I would highly recommend Debbie. She is an excellent seamstress, very knowledgeable, and easy to work with even when wedding stress is so high!
