Talk about a seamstress to save the day! I took my dress to alterations express to add some lining and a bustle. I cried when I picked it up, the bustle was like a curtain under my bum and the lining was so painfully obvious I may as well have let me undies show through.I dropped my dress off here a week before my wedding, and magic had to have been done on it! She took lace from elsewhere on my dress to cover the sides I wanted covered and transformed my bustle in less than a week! Took a tragedy and turned it into a dream come true and I am so grateful !

Cate is a wedding dress miracle worker! I came to her (crying) 2 days before my wedding after getting my dress altered twice already by another seamstress. The dress was still huge on me and she got right to work. She was so sweet and helpful and literally saved my wedding day! The dress fit me like a glove, it was absolutely perfect. It wasn’t an easy fix due to the open back and a bra padding issue and she still had it done in less than 48 hours! She also altered my sister and moms dress perfectly! Go to cate, she’s the best!!

Amazing job! She tailored my suit pantsfor my graduation and fixed some clothes that head rips in them. Fixes everything and works with you on a reasonable deadline to pick them up. Will be coming back for more help in the future.

Kate is so good! I came to her looking for an unusual request – to cut my wedding dress all the way up the front so I could hike up to a spot and climb in it. She came up with so many great ideas not only for the dress, but for jewelry and other details. I trusted her completely to cut and finish the edges – which she did perfectly. She also altered the neckline and bust area. Fabulous work. I highly recommend Ecaterina!

This young lady is outstanding and I will highly recommend her for any alterations job. My granddaughter decided to attend prom with only 3 days before the event. Needless to say the dress needed to be shortened and Cate got it done for a very reasonable rate when no one else would do it last minute and she looked beautiful. Thank you so much again for making her day special. This woman is OUTSTANDING!

I cannot recommend Cate enough. There is no one I would have trusted more with my wedding dress. I bought the dress of my dreams .... and then lost 50lbs before my wedding day. She took my dress and in 2 months, basically created a whole new dress out of the first one. Cate is so professional and so friendly - she's easy to talk to and work with, and is so kind and clearly talented. You cannot even tell where any of my alterations were done, and it honestly fits better than the day I bought it. She works magic, and if you need major alterations to the most expensive dress you've ever bought, she's the one to entrust with it.
