I purchased a wedding dress from another bride and needed the dress to be taken in. I was told about some shops, but after reading bad review after another, no shop appealed to me. I found a blog on Evelyn, and thought, hey let's take a chance. I went to meet her earlier this year with my mom and my dress in hand. She was able to quickly know what needed to be done. I asked to have another fitting when I returned for my shower this weekend when I would have a couple other family members in town to see the dress. Saturday I went to try on the dress, and it fit perfectly! I am so excited that everything looked fabulous and I will get to wear such a beautiful dress on my big day! Her customer service is amazing as well. She was willing to show my sister how to lace a corset back dress and what to do on my big day with no problem. She also gave us suggestions with purchasing a steamer in order to steam some of the wrinkles as it gets closer to the wedding. Any questions any of us had, she had an answer with no problem. Do not hesitate to travel downtown to Evelyn for your alterations. Her prices are very reasonable as well. read more

I searched frantically on google as I made the mistake of waiting too long for alterations and wouldn't be able to get it done in time with the seamstress my bridal shop I bought from recommended. I came across Evelyn on Yelp and liked her work on her website. What impressed me the most was her turn around time (1 week) so I figured I'd give her a call and cross my fingers everything goes well. The consultation was 30 minutes exact, super easy and she was very outgoing as we talked about the details of my wedding. She told me to come back on Wednesday (my appointment was Monday). Evelyn did an AMAZING job hemming my wedding dress as well as adding a clasp to replace me having to tie a bow in the back of the dress. I'm amazed how quickly she was able to do it in 2 days, I was honestly expecting a week from what her website stated. I highly recommend her to any bride that needs alterations, especially if you're on a time crunch or other businesses are booked. read more

Evelyn completely saved me when the bridal shop we bought my dress from had me fly in from out of town for a fitting and didn't arrange for a seamstress to be there at the same time. After realizing they had dropped the ball I scoured Google and found Evelyn. Her reviews were flawless and I loved her website. Now I know why!Not only did she squeeze us in the very next day her work is beautiful. She took measurements for the changes we needed made and turned the dress around so quickly. Her work is impeccable and my dress was fitted perfectly when I came back to try it on. She was even kind enough to be flexible with the timing of me coming back into town in case it needed additional tweaking but, thanks to her talent it was perfect. I can't recommend Evelyn enough! read more

I'm so glad I brought my dress to Evelyn for alterations. The process was super simple and quick; I brought my dress in on a Tuesday for pinning and came back four days later on Saturday for my final fitting. She was able to to bring in the shoulders on a heavily beaded bodice and hem yards and yards of chiffon perfectly. I was also impressed with how quickly she responded to my emails. I highly recommend Evelyn to any Charleston area brides needing dress alterations. read more

I can't say enough good things about my experience with Evelyn. I waited until about a month before my wedding to make an appointment, so she was actually all booked, but she managed to work me in (on a Sunday) and quickly figured out what I needed to make my dress fit perfectly. She agreed to have my alterations completed by Tuesday at 11 AM, but she ended up calling me the next day and my dress was completely finished just 24 hours after I dropped it off. Her work was impeccable and I am so pleased with my dress. She even gave me advice on how to make a slight adjustment if I should happen to shed a few more lbs before the big day. The wedding is just three weeks away and I'm ready to go! I would DEFINITELY recommend Evelyn to any bride-to-be. read more

Evelyn was so great to work with!! I was very nervous going into the alterations process because well...you have this gown that you spent several hundreds to thousands of dollars on that you don't want it to be ruined. Evelyn took care of everything without issue. She was able to take in the bust, the waist, create a bustle in the back of the dress. Her scheduling is awesome - turn around in a weeks time frame. I had my first fitting back in March and then one the week BEFORE my wedding when I had finally found a bra that would work for my dress; I needed her to add a piece in the front to cover where the bra would show. She was able to do this and add a belt as requested in a weeks time. I had my dress back before my wedding in enough time to get in pressed and ready to go. She is easy to work with, calm and patient and her pricing is great for the work she does. Would definitely recommend. read more

Getting married in September and purchased a second wedding dress at the last minute. I needed some small alterations and was a little worried about finding someone so last minute, but I'm so thankful I found Evelyn! She was very prompt at responding to my emails, and was able to quickly fit me into her schedule. She does same week alterations, which was also awesome! I went in on a Tuesday for a quick fitting, where she pinned the sections I needed altered. My dress is fairly simple so this appointment only took about 10 minutes. I went back in that same week on Saturday to try the altered dress on, and everything was perfect. She took in the underarms of my dress, tacked down a part on the top that folds over to help keep it in place, and hemmed the bottom so it just kisses the floor. I was so impressed with her work, and the quick timeline. She really is a hidden gem in Charleston, and I would definitely recommend her for any bride needing alterations. read more
