Great prices and cute dresses for my daughter's school the store had hundreds of dazzling options. She fell in love with many of them. The lady working helped her pick the dress that she felt best in. I even started trying some on myself. Later on I became a model for them..extremely empowering!

My fiancé was looking into buying a wedding dress at David’s Bridal. She being as timid as she is, was talked into buying a wedding dress she didn’t want that cost $1125 before tax. The alterations on this dress, that she didn’t want, was estimated to be over $600. At that point we decided to ditch that dress and look for a dress she would actually want to wear.
She wound up at sewing shack three months before our wedding. Rolling the dice, she found her dream dress! Her bridal lady spent over two hours with her as she skimmed over dozens of dresses. When all was said and done, it cost $195 for a David’s Bridal dress that still had its original tags on it, which was retailed at $499.00 in their store.
What came next was some deposit to have the dress made to fit her. She was able to message with the gal as they worked on her dress. I love my wife, but she can need some reassurance at times. They gave her that repeatedly, saving me the headache.
By the end, we got the dress and the sewing work done for under $500.
It doesn’t end there. We consigned the dress she was tricked into buying at David’s Bridal. Within 6 months it sold for $850.
Don’t make the same mistake and shop with big name stores. This store was right for her. They treated her with respect and didn’t use her timid behavior against her. For that, I recommend them!

This is such an amazing place to pick out wedding dresses and bridesmaids dresses for very affordable prices.
We walked in without an appointment and was immediately helped with our consultant, Lauren. She was very helpful in figuring out what the bride wanted. We left with a beautiful wedding dress and bridesmaids dresses. Plus size friendly! Definitely recommend!!!

Brought my dress in January and was told we would bustle, shorten it from the waist, and add a corset. I was told to come back as soon as I got my shoes so we could get measurements. I drove an hour there each time I visited. I got my shoes and made an appointment and came in in March, when I came in, she had me put on the dress then told me that I didn't need to try it on because she needed to put the corset on first. I confirmed that I didn't need to pay more for the corset to be put on and she agreed. The corset was put on and I got my measurements taken after lots of waiting and lack of communication. The corset looked great and we moved on to the bustle and shortening the dress. I messaged multiple times to check for a price and when the dress would be ready and kept getting told different things or would not get an answer at all. She said it was done Sunday but didn't call me to come get it until Thursday which was the date I left for my out of state wedding. I picked it up and noticed some lace was falling off and there were multiple safety pins in the dress. I brought it back and she fixed the lace. When I got to the state my wedding was I looked over the dress once more and found multiple lace pieces loose, four pins, one of which was sewn into the dress. The bottom of the dress was altered but it shouldn't have been as she said she was pulling the dress from the middle up. The bustle didn't look correct either.

I cannot recommend Sewing Shack Consignment highly enough! From the moment I walked in, the bridal consultants were incredibly attentive and helped me find the perfect wedding dress. Their selection was stunning, and they made the whole experience enjoyable and stress-free.

The owner, Julie, worked wonders with my dress alterations. She was meticulous and ensured every detail was perfect, transforming my dress into something even more beautiful than I imagined. Their services were super affordable, saving me a ton of money compared to name-brand bridal shops, without sacrificing quality.

Sewing Shack Consignment truly went above and beyond to make sure my dress was flawless for my special day. Thank you for making my wedding dreams come true!

Was a very stressful back and forth process. The dress shopping experience itself was good, but the alterations wasn’t.I had made it clear from the beginning that I wanted my alterations done sooner than a day before my wedding. I was out of town the 10 days leading up to my wedding and I communicated that multiple times that I NEEDED it done before then. It wasn’t. The bustle wasn’t even done until my second to last appointment which was 12 days before my wedding. The buttons were so high on the dress that the dress had to be removed for the bustle to be done. I had asked for bra cups since the first appointment and they had to sew them in the day before my wedding while I waited. I was not very happy with the bustle. I had the impression that the bustle would be on the outside instead of under the dress, it did not look very good with this style of dress. The tool underneath was cut uneven and you could see it with the bustle done. I had also asked from straps to be added and they didn’t add them until the appointment 12 days before. So if I didn’t like them, I’d didn’t have much of a choice. And then they put someone else’s vail in my bag and asked me to bring it to them on my wedding weekend.

They seem to be nice people, but my experience wasn’t the best.

I love this store! As a consignor, I make extra income off my wardrobe I no longer use. They sell more than dresses and tuxedos. They have all the accessories that go along with it: cuff links, earrings, veils, necklaces, rings, bracelets, shoes galore and more!

Coming into the store, it’s easy to run into happy customers buying products like mine. It’s a win-win-win. I make a return, the small business stays around, and the customer gets merchandise at an economic price.

If your considering visiting this store, I would suggest you do! Not to mention, their associates are friendly and quick to assist you in your search for the perfect outfit.

Their alterations department astounds me. I have seen a dress completely transform into a custom design. Single layer to six layer formal wear dresses are their specialty. The owner gave me a private tour of where the magic happens and it was a sight to see! There was a half dozen different sewing machines for a variety purposes. If you’re questioning if they can handle your dress, I know the answer. Yes!

It seems each week they are redressing the mannequins, keeping up with the trends and seasonal wear. This last week when I walked in I found my bracelet and purse paired with a dress in the display window. I love how they promote my products and make them sell so I don’t have to put in that extra work.
