Meet Your Mentor!
I have been in the Bridal dress business for over 30 years. Altering wedding dresses takes special skills and knowledge. The wedding dress fit should be worthy of a lifetime of memories from a single day.
Mentored by many wonderful bridal shops, I performed alterations for thousands of brides. I make sure all bridal dress alterations look like a natural extension of the original dress.
I love love LOVE gorgeous laces, soft silks, and crispy taffetas. When I walk into my sewing room and look at the beautiful dresses that need my TLC, I just smile.

Our Latest Graduate
Congratulations to Ronel Van Bosch.
Ronel has graduated from the Anderson Alterations Academy with flying colors. This is a woman with skills. Her hems and seaming are impeccable. And her sewing training is deep. I have seen many of her happy brides after her alterations were completed.
Ronel took a different journey through the academy. She started with level 3 because of her high level of sewing and tailoring skills. After she completed level 3 she felt that there was so much more to learn specifically about bridal alterations. She then took level 1 and 2 together. And she learned so many new skills. She felt it was way worth the money.
