Such a seamless experience from start to finish! Trusting someone to make an insanely detailed and monumental piece of clothing fit you like a glove seemed daunting, but Cynthia made it look so easy. She really is an artist and beyond knowledgeable and talented. After my first fitting, it was clear I didn’t need to worry for a second that she’d complete the alterations perfectly and on time. Being able to check such a big item off our wedding to do list was such a blessing!

Cynthia was so amazing to work with! I trusted her fully given all the amazing things I had heard about her work. She altered my wedding dress to fit perfectly and added a bustle that still kept the integrity of the dress. There is no one else you should trust your dresses with!

I absolutely recommend Cynthia! I was nervous to find someone to do alterations but she was very sweet and welcoming from the moment I spoke with her! I live an hour away from her and it was definitely worth the drive to have her alter my dress. She communicated well about the process. She suggested the idea of lining my bodice to prevent it from scratching me which worked wonderfully! I can’t thank her enough for making my dress fit and feel great!

Cynthia is truly amazing. She altered my wedding dress to fit all 4’11 of me and made some adjustments to the top of the dress that I never would have thought of that makes it feel like it was made just to be worn by me.

She’s wonderful to be around, made me comfortable the entire time, worked with my schedule and treats you like so much more than a client or a dress to hem.

I cannot thank or recommend Cynthia enough!

Cynthia was amazing to work with, she was able to help me feel my very best on my wedding day in a dress that fit me absolutely perfectly. Her work speaks for itself and her character and personality make her the best! Thank you again, Cynthia!

Cynthia was incredible to work with and did exceptional on the work on my wedding dress and was so kind and communicative during the process! I didn't really want or need much done to my dress but she made me feel so excited about it all even though there wasn't much requested with it. I live about 45 minutes from her location and would still ABSOLUTELY recommend her to anyone looking to get their wedding dress altered with her! Well worth the little trip to Tipton!

Cynthia was absolutely amazing. She is the most down to earth and kind person you will ever meet. We had to postpone a whole year due to health issues. She picked right back up and made my dress fit like a glove. I had a plus size sample dress that was way to big. She worked her magic on this beauty and it was stunning day of. The bustle was super easy and held all night.

I can’t thank her enough for all of the hard work and attention to detail on my dress.

I would 100 percent recommend her to every single bride in the IA/IL area ❤️

I came to Cynthia after Brides By Jessa recommended her services. I bought my dress off the rack and it was several sizes too small. Let me tell you, Cynthia is an absolute master at what she does. She built an entire new underskirt, took fabric from my overskirt to add to the bodice, added more boning, new cups, and so much more. She completely customized the gown for me and I could not have been happier with my dress. I loved it when I bought it but the work she did made me fall in love with it all over again! Her prices are fair and honest and her work speaks for itself. I highly, highly recommend Cynthia for your wedding dress alterations.
