If I could give Natasha and the team at Stitch & Style more than 5 stars, I would! They truly saved the day for me.
I was only 3 months postpartum and had purposely waited to shop for my wedding dress because I had no idea what size I would be after pregnancy. Unfortunately, that meant I didn't go dress shopping until August 8th with our wedding week beginning September 1st. I knew the timeline was crazy, but after buying my dress off the rack, I still needed A LOT done in less than three weeks. The dress needed to be dry cleaned, there were tears in the mesh back that needed to be repaired, the zipper needed to be replaced, the straps needed work, cups needed to be added, it needed to be altered to fit me, and I still needed a bustle.
I called so many places and was either turned away, quoted extremely high rush fees, or made to feel terrible for having waited so long. Stitch & Style had originally been highly recommended to me by the bridal shop where I purchased my dress, so when I was running out of options I finally called and basically said, "I know this is insane, I'm 3 months postpartum and getting married in 3 weeks...can you help me?"
From that very first phone call, Natasha was SO kind, reassuring and completely nonjudgmental. She immediately made an incredibly stressful situation feel manageable and assured me that we could get it done before we left for Cape May. I was also so excited to find out they had just opened their Newtown location--I actually ended up being their very first customer there!
Natasha made my dress a priority over those next few weeks and stayed in constant communication with me throughout the entire process. She even took the dress herself to the dry cleaner they work with so we could get that taken care of immediately before alterations began. She and her team accomplished an unbelievable amount of work in such a short period of time, and the finished dress fit PERFECTLY. I genuinely couldn't believe how good I felt when I put it on.
Even at my final fitting, Natasha thought of the little things. Because my bustle tucked underneath the dress and wasn't necessarily obvious, she set up my phone and recorded a step-by-step video showing exactly how to bustle it so I could send it to my bridesmaids for the wedding day. That little detail says so much about the level of care she puts into her work.
Considering everything they had to do and the incredibly short turnaround time, I also thought the pricing was extremely fair. More than anything, though, I will always remember how Natasha treated me. She made me feel like I had known her forever and turned what had become one of the most stressful parts of wedding planning into something I didn't have to worry about anymore.
I cannot thank Natasha and her team enough. My dress looked and fit beautifully, everything was finished on time, and I got to leave for my wedding knowing it was completely taken care of. I will recommend Stitch & Style over and over again--and anything I ever need altered in the future is going straight to Natasha. read more
