Prim and Perverse

One of the many tips we can give to someone planning a wedding is to make it your own - incorporate your personality into everything you're doing. With us, you can get really creative with your dress and make it unique. Add a belt, add some sleeves, take off some sleeves, maybe get a matching cathedral length veil? It's all up to you!

Some of our Frequently Asked Questions Part 2:

Q.  How long will my alterations take?
A.  We work on a first-come, first-served basis. The sooner you can set up your first fitting, the better. Generally, we encourage you to visit us no later than twelve weeks before your wedding for your first fitting. If given fewer than six weeks to complete your dress, a rush charge will be included.

Q.  What if I gain or lose weight before my wedding?
A.  It is best to maintain your current shape and size from your first fitting through pickup. However, we are aware that the stress of event planning can contribute to weight fluctuation. Your final fitting will typically be one month prior to your wedding, and minor adjustments can still be made at that time.

"Courtney’s work is pure magic.

Her ability to alter a dress to better fit and flatter a body is absolutely incredible. Not only is she remarkably skilled, she is also kind, generous, funny and clear about what is possible and what isn’t. She will give it to you straight, but in a respectful and loving way. She is a master at giving her professional opinion in a way that is helpful, but not at all pushy, and managing the personalities in the room in order to center your voice and opinion.

I went in to see Courtney for the first time in March 2020, just a few days before the world shut down and we all went into lockdown. My dress didn’t need much — a hemming and replacing of the buttons and button loops in the back of my dress. Courtney was great at communicating with me as my wedding was postponed from June 2020 to June 2021. When I went in to see her a year later, our world had changed and so had I. When I tried on my dress, I no longer felt comfortable or confident in my dress and so I embarked on a journey to find a new dress, literally THREE WEEKS before my wedding. …
I am so utterly thankful to have been able to work with Courtney. I honestly don’t know what I would have done if I didn’t have such an incredible seamstress on my side for my wedding. She is an incredible small business owner who knows what she is doing and is in demand because of it. Her labor is worth every damn cent and I wholeheartedly recommend her and her team. If you go to Courtney, you will walk away with a dress that feels custom-made and fits you so perfectly that it will feel like magic. But it’s not. It’s Courtney’s skills.

Thank you so much for everything." - Elizabeth E.
