Wendy was great to work with and very knowledgeable. I was recommended to come to her via Facebook wedding group for my wedding dress. Also I am a type 1 diabetic so I have a diabetic pump and I love the creative way that she thought to add a pocket inside of the ball gown that I could keep the diabetic pump during the ceremony because I really was at a loss at 2 where to put it. She was super communicative and she did amazing hemming my dress and adding cups to the bodice of a dress. I even paid extra for her to steam it for me and I was in love with my dress the day that I picked it up for the wedding. I highly recommend her and to any future bride that I know personally I will definitely recommend her Services as they are very affordable. She is a great choice for wedding alterations. read more

Alterations By Wendy - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Clearwater, Florida

Wendy was a godsend. The original woman who was going to do my alterations had a family issue and had to return my dress to me. My anxiety was high, but that's when I found Wendy! She was so sweet, understanding, and does beautiful work. I needed the whole dress taken in, the bottom hemmed/shortened, shorten the straps, the inside corset to be tacked, and the belt tacked, and then a French bustle. She was amazing, did everything I requested to the perfect amount. Plus she made sure we knew the proper way to bustle and tie the perfect bow! We took video to make sure we had the steps down pat. She went above and beyond, my dress turned out beautifully, and she did everything she could to make sure my dress would be perfect day of. Highly recommend! I have a bridesmaids dress I will need to get altered and I plan on coming back to her. read more

I can't recommend her enough. I seriously can't believe what she was able to do with my wedding dress. I got my dress off the rack, missing a button, way too long, way too big and somehow she made it fit like a glove! She probably took it in about two sizes and did it with horsehair and lots and lots of beading, and for an AMAZING price! I expected to spend about $800 on alterations based off what I'd heard, but she charged about half that. She also steamed my dress & veil, which turned out perfect! Thank you!!!! read more

Wendy is not only unbelievably sweet, but her work is PERFECT. When I came in, I had a strapless mermaid gown that was 4 sizes too big for me. She was able to take everything in, hem it perfectly, create a brand new bustle, add structure, etc. I was so nervous trying to find alterations for my wedding dress, and I cannot say enough wonderful things about her! read more

I'm surprised she doesn't have more reviews, but not sure how many brides use yelp as opposed to wedding wire or the knot. But Wendy is the best! She is very sweet but also straightforward about what is needed. Not only did she make sure the dress looked great, but she made sure I felt comfortable in it. You can tell she enjoys what she does too. I was a little nervous about going to someone's house for alterations, but from the second I walked in I was reassured as it is clean and comfortable. I was confident leaving my dress in her hands! read more

Wendy was the best! She fit me into her very busy schedule. She taught me so much about the process and what would be most flattering alterations to the dress for me. It was an expensive high end designer gown that was completely beaded all over and had 4 layers. It had a very unique neckline that required hand beading alterations. I came in for multiple follow up fittings because she wanted to get it perfect. And her prices are half of what you'll find elsewhere. Thank you Wendy!! read more

I was surprised at all the good reviews for Alterations by Wendy, as I had the opposite experience. Had taken several dresses to her for alterations, some to hem, and other dresses to take in at the bust area. She was not even aware of using a double needle until she found out from Jo-Ann's Fabrics while working on my dresses. Some of the dresses the hems came out, so Wendy made excuses, blaming it on the stretchy material. She did fix the problem at no extra cost, but the stitching was uneven and did not look professional at all ! The dresses she took in at the sides, she made them too tight under the arms, while the bust area was still too large, but not as bad as before. The dresses that she took in at the back turned out good, except the seams were not even. I was disappointed in general, but finding a good seamstress, your choices are limited it seems. read more

I used Wendy to alter both my wedding ceremony and reception dresses! She was so sweet and never made me feel rushed during the fittings. I was completely amazed by her attention to detail and making sure everything about my dresses were absolutely perfect!!! I was kind of scared to go get my dress altered because I've heard horror stories about wedding dress alterations and needless to say you'll be in great hands if you choose Wendy! She's AMAZING!!! read more

Wendy went truly above and beyond. I purchased a dress online and it was a completely botched job. The company helped me find Wendy and she turned it into a fabulous, beautiful dress that fit perfectly in about 10 days. It was truly miraculous and I am incredibly thankful for her amazing work and attention to detail! She even hand-delivered the dress to my office! Thank you Wendy :) read more

Wendy did an absolutely amazing job with my wedding dress!!! She was very easy to work with and I drove all the way from Holmes Beach (1 hour and 15 minutes away) to have her do my dress alterations. The bustle was incredibly beautiful, almost even more beautiful than the train looked! My dress had many, many layers and she worked through them with ease and it fit perfectly for my wedding day. Go with Wendy, you won't be disappointed! read more

I bought 2 couture wedding dresses that are both very expensive and cost thousands of dollars each dress. I wanted to see if I could save money on the alterations and find a budget friendly, good quality seamstress who could do the alterations for my wedding dress because all the wedding dress boutiques are super expensive and charge $400 or more just for hemming so I found Wendy on weddingwire.com and read all the reviews she received and noticed she won multiple wedding wire awards and her work seemed pretty impressive. I was nervous and very worried to leave my expensive dress with just any seamstress but she really put me at ease when she showed me what she would do with my dress and how. She had to hem my dress which is no easy task because I have like 5 layers of material and very intricate lace, she had to pull in the bodice, pull in the hips and alot of other things that needed to be done and she did everything perfectly and she saved me hundreds of dollars! Her prices are unbeatable and her work is exceptional! I am going back to her with my second wedding dress for my second wedding. I highly recommend her! She is trust worthy, offers amazing prices, service is excellent, and quality of her work is top notch. Why spend hundreds of dollars at over priced wedding dress boutiques? Go to Wendy and save money and get your dress done perfectly! Thank you Wendy for making my wedding dress perfect! YOU ARE AMAZING!! :) read more

Not a good experience. I brought my wedding gown to be altered. She had to do a couple of last minute adjustments at my last fitting. She did the work and then zipped the gown up in its bag and handed it to me. I expected it was all set. Got home and when I opened the bag I found she'd left a bunch of safety pins still in the skirt - and not hidden, but all over the top of the front of the skirt so it wasn't like she could have missed them as there was no way to zip up the bag without seeing them. Further, I'd purchased a sample dress and had asked her to repair a couple of holes. She told she would take care of it and charged me for the fixes. I see now that I should have inspected her work more carefully - however, she didn't fix the holes and after removing the safety pins she'd left I saw two big tears still in my gown. She came recommended and I wrongly presumed she was going to do what she promised she would. Really disappointed. If she couldn't have fixed them, I would have guessed she would have explained that - instead she'd already cashed my check and sent me off with a gown in disrepair. So now I'm getting married with a dress that has holes in it. Would not recommend her. read more
