About Us
Professional bridal alterations with a personal touch
The Town Seamstress was founded in 2019 with one goal in mind: build a space where people can make their gown their own. The Town Seamstress aims to make your formalwear fit and look how you have imagined it!
Since our founding, we’ve helped hundreds of women make a gown their own. From hand dyeing fabric to fully reshaping bodices, we’ve done our best to go above and beyond. Along with incorporation of custom accessory designs, The Town Seamstress is working quickly to provide you with everything you may need to make your wedding special and unique.
