Reviews of Christine's Alterations (Tailor)

Emily Gruen

Christine altered my wedding dress in the fall of 2018. I loved my experience working with her. She made me feel comfortable and confident during my fittings. I had some length taken off, the dress taken in, and a simple bustle added. I was very happy with the outcome, the dress fit perfectly, and the bustle worked great and was so easy to use. Her price was fair, and I felt so happy with my experience I referred my sister (who was 8 months pregnant and in need of major alterations) to her for her bridesmaid’s dress. She also loved her experience.

Professional service, good prices. Christine gets very busy during the spring/summer though- definitely call with lots of time to go before your event!

I discovered Christine through rave reviews on her Facebook page and called her to set up an appointment. My dress was somewhat complicated with its alterations because of a detailed lace overlay. Christine was able to take it in multiple sizes and adjust it to fit me like a glove. Additionally, she was able to hem the complicated scalloped edge of my dress in a unique way with her expert artistic eye. Her fee was reasonable and worth every penny, and the alteration appointments felt like a family member was resizing my dress, despite having never met her. I couldn't recommend her enough as someone to trust with one of the most important aspects of your wedding day.

Christine's Alterations was professional, detailed, and did an exquisite job on not one but TWO dresses for my wedding day. The first dress is an oversized, flowy dress that I wanted a hem on the front and the train. Christine hemmed the dress perfectly with my shoe height, and provided the extra material so I could use it in another way. The second (reception) dress was a fit and flare with a lot of lace and tulle. Christine had to rework the zipper to take in the bodice; you can't even tell I had alterations done and it fits PERFECT! My wedding date isn't until September, and I contacted Christine in May to allow for enough time for fitting appointments and the actual alterations to be completed. I would definitely recommend getting in with Christine as early as possible, as she was able to accommodate my work schedule and I was able to see her on one weekend morning and two evenings after work. Finally, I have to mention that Christine's prices are fair for the work she puts into these dresses and not overpriced at all. I would definitely recommend Christine's Alterations to anyone, especially people getting married, to make your garments look perfect.

Christine is incredible! I was looking for a seamstress that could hem my bridesmaid dress before my sister's wedding in September 2021. I contacted her back in May 2021 to see if I could schedule an appointment with her to hem my dress. I was able schedule and see her in July 2021. The bridesmaid dress that I purchased is not the typical bridesmaid dress. It's fancy and had four layers of fabric underneath, so she had to hem all of those layers too. Christine was very detailed about how she would hem my dress and also provided multiple choices of how to fix the hem line on my dress. She even added the back tail string wrist holder, so when I'm not taking pictures, I can have that wrist band to easily walk to places and feel comfortable with the dress tail up. She finished my dress in the beginning of August 2021 before my sister's wedding. The photos that I included in this review are the "Before" pictures. You can see Christine's sewing pins that shows how she would hem the dress. The results of the finished hem line was gorgeous. I was able to walk in this dress with my wedges with no problems. I would highly recommend Christine's Alterations for alterations. Keep in mind to always schedule at least 4-6 months before prior to the wedding if you have multiple areas that needs to be altered. This is to make sure that the seamstress has time to alter your dress. I only need one area to be altered and that was just the hemline. Thank you, Christine for making me look fabulous! I highly recommend this seamstress! Five Stars!

I have gone to Christine's Alterations for 2 bridesmaids dresses and most recently my wedding dress (hem and bustle). She is such a delight to communicate with and puts a lot of care into her work. See her FB page for examples!! Highly recommend her services

Christine's Alterations is one of the best places to get alterations done. I called her wanting to get my wedding dress altered for my August wedding and she was highly responsive, kind, and upfront about costs and time. Christine walked me though everything she was going to change on the dress, why, and what it would look like after. She even added a bustle to keep the dress's train from trailing on the ground. She finished the alterations quickly and the dress was absolutely perfect! I would highly recommend her services for any alterations you would like done.

I got my wedding dress altered by Christine and I’m so happy that I did! Christine was great to work with: she shortened my straps, added bra cups, shortened the dress, and added a bustle. She was responsive and upfront in what the cost would be throughout the process. I felt like she really listened to what my day-of needs would be and didn’t try to pressure me to make alterations that I wasn’t happy with. As an example I’m an avid folk dancer and knew that I would need the flexibility to be able to dance without worrying about my dress ripping or being uncomfortable. When she did the bustle, she made sure to make two loops for each button to go through, in case one of them ripped. That extra security really helped me to be confident on the dance floor. The whole wedding day, everyone was commenting on how well the dress fit me. I was so happy with the job she did on my wedding dress, I ended up taking an old bridesmaid dress to her to make it more wearable for events (moved the straps and shortened it). I recently wore the old bridesmaid dress to another wedding and got so many compliments on it. I would recommend Christine to anyone who is looking to get alterations done!

Christine was amazing from start to finish, and made my dress look amazing. She was great to work with, listened to me, and got the dress done in a timely manner. I highly recommend!

Meagan Kelley

Christine was so wonderful to work with! She did a great job altering my wedding dress (hemmed, taken in the waist, adding a bustle) and was affordable! She was even able to help out one of my local bridesmaids with her dress. I would definitely recommend her and would go back to her again if I needed other dresses altered.

Christine did an absolutely wonderful job altering a bridesmaid dress for an upcoming wedding! The dress was a mess, but Christine tackled the task. Quick turn-around, friendly service! I would recommend her to anyone!

A fantastic place

I highly recommend working with Christine for alterations. I have worked with Christine before for bridesmaid dress alterations and really enjoyed working with her. When it came time for my big day, she was the only person I trusted to work on my dress. She is timely, extremely professional and does exceptional work. My wedding dress was non-traditional (black, lace, extremely detailed ballgown) and she blew it out of the water with her work. I am so happy I went to Christine. She helped me feel absolutely gorgeous on my big day by making my dress fit me perfectly. Thank you Christine!

Excellent work! I sew but the complicated things I give to a professional. Christine is that pro for me!

Emily Thorinski

I went to Christine for my wedding alterations and I'm so glad I did! I actually have two wedding dresses (one for the ceremony and one to change into for the reception) and she made both of them perfect. She was able to shorten the hem on one of them and add cups in the other one. She took her time and was very thorough and detail oriented to make sure they were perfect, and was affordable. I'd definitely use her again and will recommend her to my friends! Thanks Christine!

Shanna Seidel

Christine is awesome! I called her about a month and a half before two separate weddings I was in, and she was able to get me in quickly! Both dresses needed different things done, and she was timely and very professional! Prices are comparable to any other alterations place in the area, but if you want someone who is personable and very good at what she does, go to Christine!

Amanda Fritz

Christine did a wonderful job with the alterations on my bridesmaid dress. It was done in a timely manner and it was very reasonably priced. Highly recommend!

I've been using Christine for many years. Every wedding that I've been in, she's been the best to make the bridesmaid dress look and fit perfect! I've even referred the brides to Christine! You must try her - think local!!
