Things Clients Often Ask
Can I make customizations to my dress?
Absolutely! I love to build sleeves, move lace, add beading etc. Send me a message by filling out the form below. We will then discuss your ideas, pricing, and timing.
Can you alter a dress that is too small?
Yes! The side seams can be released to let the dress out. A corset back, or side seam illusion panel can add several inches.
Do you provide steaming services?
Yes! Steaming is my gift to you at no additional cost.
Where do we meet for fittings?
At "R. House", aka the Richter family home. I have a clean and spacious studio in my home. By not meeting at a retail location, I'm passing the savings onto you!
