Thank you Beverly!! We sooo appreciate the work you did on our wedding dresses. Both fit like a glove and both were everything we ever imagined. I know you deconstructed and then reconstructed the upper half of my dress to make it what I envisioned... over 20 hours of work! It turned out perfect. read more

Beverly did an amazing job on my wedding dress for my wedding this past August. My dress had a long train and it took some time to hem, but once it was all finished, the fabric hung beautifully. She also skillfully added some beautiful pearls on the back, which complemented the dress. Her shop is adorable and has such a lovely ambiance. Beverly herself is super sweet and funny and I miss seeing her! If you are looking for someone talented and trustworthy to do alterations of any kind, look no more! Thank you Beverly! read more

Beverly did my wedding dress alterations on short-ish notice when my bridal shop's in-house alterations department closed without much warning. I had already had my first fitting with them and the dress had been pinned, but needed to be hemmed, the bust altered slightly and a bustle added. I called Beverly in January to see if she could do it before my May wedding. She graciously booked several appointments for me and got the work done 1 month prior to my wedding, working with me along the way to get it just right. Despite me second guessing my dress at the second fitting, I fell back in love on the final fitting when all the work was completed and have to say the dress was absolutely perfect on the day of my wedding!! Her quoted price was similar to what the bridal shop had originally quoted me, due to the amount of hours the work would take to complete, and she completed the work in less than the quoted time. I was impressed with her kindness and attention to details. Thank you Beverly for all your help! read more

I had my wedding last March, right before Covid hit, and had the incredible pleasure of working with Beverly to alter my gown. I lost quite a bit of weight between when I ordered my gown and when I was actually ready for alterations, and my dress had a lot of beading and appliqué, but it was no problem for Beverly. The first time I came in she provided her recommendations on where to take things in, how high to adjust the hem, what type of bustle would work best for the train, and explained the process she would take. We had two more fittings from there to make sure everything was perfect, and I could not have been happier. She took my dress down four sizes, but despite that kept all of the intricate detail in the dress intact. I truly could not recommend her more highly to anyone looking for dress alterations! read more

Im so Happy with the results of my dress! I brought my mother's wedding dress from the 70s to Beverly to have a few alterations done to make it a little bit more appropriate for me. It had long bell sleeves and a high neck so I had those removed and added a little lace to my train. She made the dress absolutely perfect just in time for my big day. She's very sweet and professional and did all of my work in a timely manner. And her prices were much more reasonable than some of the other people that I talked to. I highly recommend her for all of your alteration needs. read more

What I found in Beverly Hinnicutt's Studio was more than a seamstress. I found a new, wise, and beautiful friend who is as easy to communicate with as she is responsive, caring, skilled. I came to Beverly with a custom, made-to-order Carol Hannah gown that was very large in the bodice and in need of some refinement. Over the course of a couple of fittings, Beverly helped to craft a masterpiece of a gown with zero trace of ever deconstructing it. She added bra cups, sewed in a rockin slit, hemmed the skirt, as well as created a gorgeous french bustle. I had a VERY hard time finding a dress I liked and even felt somewhat apprehensive about the one I ended up buying...but Beverly managed to truly make it my own and I can honestly say it evolved into the dress of my bodacious bride dreams. In fact, our time together went so swimmingly, that I also brought her my rehearsal dinner dress and my post-ceremony bride crop top for her to perfect. Sure enough, she did. read more

I reached out to Beverly because of her passion for Japanese fabrics and had her remake a classic obi design to suit my dress. This was a from-scratch-bespoke-project and Beverly absolutely nailed it! She was so incredibly helpful and kind throughout the process and I truthfully miss getting spend time with her in her adorable store. I would absolutely recommend Beverly to everyone, even for fun projects that aren't wedding related. Thank you so much Beverly! read more

Beverly altered my wedding dress and made it fit like it was made for me. Scheduling was easy and was all done over text or email. Beverly is so kind, you can tell she really cares about what she does and making her customers happy. Not knowing a lot about tailoring/altering gowns, she educated me on the process and made suggestions. She took my dress in, sewed on very delicate beaded straps that could've easily been damaged in unskilled hands, brought up the hem on the inner portion of the dress, added a bustle and took in a beaded belt for me. I was married in Disney World and received so many compliments from strangers and cast members on my dress on my wedding day. I highly recommend her and couldn't have been happier with her work. read more

I went to Beverly with an idea, a short cotton dress and a crinoline and asked her to turn it into a wedding gown. After spending a half hour at a local fabric store, asking the ladies "how would I" and "what should I," I was referred to Beverly as someone who is a talented seamstress, but also has an eye for design. She was thrilled to work with me. She asked questions to understand my vision and after a few trips (multiple fittings) my wedding gown was complete and just as I had envisioned it. She was confident, friendly, laid back, thorough, had great suggestions and took the time to understand what I was hoping to achieve. This was important to me because I had the idea but no skills to execute it. I would definitely return to her, especially for major alterations. read more

Beverly did my wedding dress alternations and did a PHENOMENAL job. On top of her professionalism and kindness, she made sure to hear my desires of what I wanted from my dress. My wedding dress is basically all detailed lace in different sections and she was able to raise it and created a beautiful bustle. She completed this hard task within a very reasonable amount of time. My biggest fear was leaving my dress in another's hands, but Beverly is trustworthy and I could not be more pleased with the end results. Would recommend her to any family member or friend. read more

Absolutely LOVED what Beverly did to perfect my wedding dress. I got married in Ireland and found the perfect wedding dress at a "Running of the Brides". The problem was, the dress was about ten sizes too big. I had no idea if the dress would ever look right. Beverly went straight to work and made it so perfect! It was the perfect addition to my classic Irish wedding and it fit like a glove. And she kept the detail so beautiful. I cannot say enough how great she made my day. And I did not hear enough great praise from everyone that saw me in my dress. read more

Beverly was so wonderful to work with! My dress was a bit too loose around the waist and she was able to take it in to make it fit perfectly. Her prices were very reasonable and she worked quickly even though I wasn't in a rush. Scheduling the consultation was easy and she was flexible when I needed to change the day to come pick it up. So glad I found her and that she was available! Highly recommend working with Beverly. read more

My mom and I got lured into this humble shop after walking out of Rhinestone Rosie. On a table set up in front of the door were some gorgeous cashmere arm-warmers. As we admired them, Beverly came out to introduce herself and tell us how she recycled cashmere sweaters to make something new from them. We were floored not just by the celeverness and ingenuity, but also because these were garments that looked professionally made... well, Beverly may be her own seamstress, but she is nothing short of professional. As we explored her shop, she made friendly conversation with us while working on her sewing machine. The shop is small and not exactly crowded with merchandise, but what is there is of the very highest quality. Besides the arm-warmers and scarves, there were also handmade pillow cases, bookmarks, pillows, caps and hats, skirts, sweaters, and a marvelous collection of Japanese inspired garments made from recycled (and authentic!) kimonos. There are some breathtaking scarves made from real silk obis (kimono sashes) for sale as well. Having had a horrible experience with a tailor before my wedding, I now know where I will be bringing my future tailoring needs. I didn't even make the connection that she did alterations until she mentioned it casually as we were on our way out the door, armed with a decorative floral bag with our purchases lovingly wrapped inside. I may live in West Seattle, but I will happily drive to Queen Anne to see Beverly the next time I need a seamstress- or to simply stop in and see what new treasures she has to offer. read more

Beverly made the most beautiful wedding dress for me. I was looking for something unique and different so when I found the fabric, I brought it to Beverly who put together a simple design that fit me perfectly. She had me do fittings at each step and made adjustments and suggestions along the way. I really liked that she gave different examples for how she could do the bodice. I will upload official pictures when I get them! read more

Beverly tailored my wedding dress and did an amazing job! She was fun to work with, knowledgeable, made great recommendations, and made my dress look perfect! Highly recommend! read more

I almost hesitate to write a review for Beverly's alteration work, because what I love about Beverly is that her prices for alterations are reasonable, and she can usually get the items I bring in done rather quickly. So Beverly, please don't change what I love about your services if you start getting even more business! :) On top of reasonable pricing and turnaround time, she's a really nice lady and I'm glad to give my business to her shop. From reworking the top of a dress for me, to hemming skirts, I haven't yet been disappointed by Beverly's work or her customer service. The Beverly Hunnicutt Studio is small business at its best. read more

I scheduled some time with Bev for a consultation around tailoring my wedding dress. I immediately fell in love with her clean and welcoming shop. She also was brewing apple cider and offered me some as I came in. During my appointment multiple people came by to say hi and raved about Bev. From the way she was looking at my dress I knew that she would provide very high quality work and was someone I could trust in. Would definitely recommend. read more

There aren't enough words to describe the level and attention to detail that Beverly operates at. Her work is remarkable. I was lucky to get a Lela Rose lace gown at a price I couldn't pass up but it wasn't exactly what I had envisioned. I took a gamble and bought it 4 sizes too big hoping to reconfigure the lace into something new. After our first meeting I knew I could trust her to replicate what I was picturing. She was even able to recommend a professional dyer in the area for the slip (turned out amazing). Our wedding was in September and I brought the dress to her in May, knowing that it would be a long process I wanted to leave plenty of time for adjustments. Every time we met I couldn't believe the transformation and progress she had made. I think the pictures speak for themselves. The dress was exactly what I had envisioned. Thank you Beverly! read more

Had a wonderful experience with Beverly. I purchased a sample size 10 Amsale designer dress from Nordstrom and she was able to beautifully tailor it to fit me like a glove. She is incredibly sweet, warm and completely professional. I highly recommend her if you have high end clothes that need tailoring. I plan to go to her for all my tailoring needs. read more

When I bought my to-be wedding dress, Beverly was recommended for alterations. She is easy to find, personable, and I didn't have a long wait. Her pricing is reasonable (especially on Queen Anne!) and she does custom work as well. I may have her design a special veil to go with my wedding dress! read more

Hidden gem! Beverly was warm and offered good insight for a complicated coat alteration. In addition to being a great seamstress, her shop has lots of fun and artistic clothing and home goods. read more

I took my wedding dress to Beverly and couldn't have been happier with the results! I had her hem the bottom and add a bustle, but the real work was in having her lower the back of my dress for a more flattering cut. The dress turned out beautifully and I got so many compliments on it on my wedding day! In addition to doing great work, Beverly is such a nice person, and I loved working with her. She was very understanding, and totally open to my suggestions. I highly recommend Beverly for any alteration work! read more

Saved a dress. My daughter was in London for work a few weeks before her wedding and, in the crazy-happy pre-wedding mind, fell in love with a dress way out of her budget and bought it. It needed hemming and while she had some buyer remorse (because of the cost) there was no return. It is a very lightweight fabric with a flowing hem and needed minor shortening. She took it to a tailor who cut and hemmed too much and unevenly with almost 2" different from one side to the other. The blue fabric had been cut, the edge serged, folded and straight stitched with black thread resulting in an awkward flipping and ruffling of the hem; it did not hang right. Ruined. I took it to Beverly who straightened the drop length and finished the bottom with a rolled hem. Looks like new. Beverly is an expert dressmaker. read more

Beverly was super helpful and trusting in every aspect of my wedding dress alteration. Her studio space is comfortable, relaxing, and clean. Very reasonable prices and she does quality work. I had a very detailed wedding dress and she did an excellent job. She took great care of my dress for the time that she had it. I would never have trusted anyone else with my dress. read more

Beverly is a genius. Full stop. She took a shift wedding dress I had that was made for a 6' stick-thin model, and fit it perfectly to my 5'3" curvy frame. The back was also way too bulgy, and we couldn't take it any more on the back, bc then the hips would be too tight. But Beverly creatively found a solution to fix it! She is just wonderful. If you are fortunate enough to catch her at a time when she is accepting new people (she is in HIGH demand), definitely take it! You won't regret it. read more

Beverly was an absolute life saver. I had an abysmal first bridal fitting with another tailor in town, and I wasn't sure the depth of what had been done but I left feeling horrible about what would happen to my dress next. I took my dress from my previous tailor and brought it to Beverly; she took the dress apart to show me the work that had been done and explained how she could fix it. My dress had a lot of appliqué and the previous tailor literally just cut through the appliqué border of the hem (unevenly), raised the hem and sewed it back down, creating an odd overlap of appliqué in no sensical pattern along the hem of the gown. This was just for starters. Beverly assured me she could fix the work that had been done on time for my wedding. She did. I'll never forget bursting into tears in my fitting with her because she was clearly competent and caring and I was relieved to have my dress in her hands. She would text me updates as she worked and sent me pictures of her progress to calm my nerves (because truthfully I was a basket case). I was free to focus on last minute wedding details and not have to sweat bullets about what I would find in the next fitting. In the end my dress was stunning and tailored so that it looked like it was made for me. I had so fallen in love with this dress when I initially found it and I was able to wear it on my wedding day purely because of Beverly. I will never be able to thank her enough. Bring your wedding gown here, Beverly is a straight-forward, talented and compassionate person that will have you looking stunning for your special day. read more

Beverly is a magician with fabric. I bought my wedding dress second hand and online. When it came, there was no way it would fit over my ribs. No amount of dieting would fix that. Beverly completely reconstructed the bodice and when she was done, it fit perfectly and looked amazing. She also altered my sister's bridesmaid dress and took it down a size. I recommend her without reservation. If you need tailoring, Beverly is top notch. read more

When I ordered my MOH dress online and the company sent the wrong size Beverly was able to save the day by turning a dress which was around 2 sizes too small into the perfect fitting dress!! read more

Bev is the best! She hemmed my ball gown length wedding dress to hit just the right point so I could wear heels and flats in an outdoor wedding without the dress dragging at all. Her prices are very reasonable and her quality of work is amazing. My dress was a tulle skirt and beaded top so she actually had to hem the tulle and it came out beautifully. She works quickly but with care. Can't shout her praises enough! read more

after I bought my wedding dress, it needed to be taken a size down, so I went to see Beverly. I did not have a lot of time to get it done, yet she managed to do a wonderful job with just a few fittings. she first worked on taking in the bodice of the dress, then worked on the hem. I like the quality job she did and my dress fits perfectly now. read more

Beverly was fantastic with the alterations on my wedding dress! I wanted the entire top changed and she knew just what my vision was and made it come to life! read more

Beverly created a one of a kind and beautiful wedding dress for me. I had looked and looked for something that was my perfect wedding dress and had no success. I eventually gave up and decided I would just have one made. I saw a couple dressmakers who were much more 'bridal focused' and just didn't really get what I was after. Once I met with her I knew she was the one who would make my ideas a reality. She was so fun to work with and I looked forward to every fitting. She was flexible and worked with my vision perfectly all while tweaking things to make sure the dress was actually comfortable, functional, and fit perfectly. read more

I brought a pair of brand new, expensive jeans to Beverley for what seemed like a routine alteration. When my jeans came back, they were not altered to my specifications and had been ruined. Beverley and her assistant were unapologetic and actually rude when I tried to communicate how disappointing this was for me. When I went to pick up the jeans a few months later given my work schedule and her limited business hours, I learned that she had given my jeans away without calling to let me know. I'm now in the price of the jeans plus $20 for alterations and I literally have nothing to show for it. After the hemming mishap I would have gone back but the blatant disrespect and lack of empathy that I was shown is enough to make me take my business elsewhere. So much for supporting small businesses, next time I'll go to Nordstrom as her assistant recommended. read more

I made the mistake of taking a very expensive piece to be altered and instead of being informed that Beverly's skills did not include such technique I was sorely disappointed when I picked up the garment and it looked like something a novice to sewing would have come up with as a temporary solution. Luckily I was able to undo with seam ripper and hand it off to someone else who could handle the job. read more

Beverly is amazing. She altered a bridesmaid dress and I am a couple fittings in on my wedding dress. She is great to work with and her work has been great. She is such a sweet person. I had my mom in town, so I did a fitting at Beverly's and she had brought danish for us. read more

Beverly is experienced, talented and friendly. I highly recommend her.

I can't recommend Beverly's services more. I initially brought in my grandmothers wedding dress along with another white dress and reception outfit I had found. She could tell I was not 100% in love with any of my options and listened as I tried to make different options work integrating my grandmothers into the two other pieces. After weeks of deliberation and a few stops into her shop I decided to start my search over. Beverly not only did a wonderful job with alterations but I truly appreciated her encouraging me to pick the dress that made me sparkle and not be influenced by outside opinions. Thank you Beverly!! read more

Beverly was great! I had never gotten anything altered before, so I was a little nervous at first to get my bridesmaid dress taken in for my friends upcoming wedding (the dress was too big around the waist especially). She was so nice and knew exactly what to do to make it look just right. The dress was done quickly and fit great. I will definitely use her again if I ever need anything else altered!! read more

I am wearing my grandmother's wedding dress (Chantilly lace from Paris 1949). Needless to say, I was nervous about having alterations. Beverly could not have been more professional, personable and welcoming. She did an incredible job on the alteration! I could not be happier with the result, and the experience. I trusted her with a family heirloom for one of the most important days of my life, and she exceeded all expectations. read more
