Meet me and my team!

bridal seamstress

Hi, I’m Alejandra but my brides know me as Alex :)

I studied fashion design at UT Austin, but my true passion for making clothes sparked when I studied pattern making in Florence, Italy. I realized that my place in the fashion world was not to think of beautiful ideas but to execute them flawlessly. I love being an extremely technical seamstress and that passion led me to the world of bridal alterations.

After I took my first client, I recognized something no other project or job had given me: fulfillment and purpose.

I fell in love with being able to give brides confidence by making their gowns fit their bodies perfectly. I started my alterations practice in 2020 and have only grown from there. I work out of my home studio and take a lot of pride in being known for my open communication style. I like to build strong relationships with my clients and get to know them, make the alterations process a breeze and most importantly: HAVE FUN. When you’re in appointments with me I like to create a friendly environment, get rid of any negativity and of course, hear all the wedding tea!

Fun facts about me:

I am a huge helicopter dog mom (scroll down to meet my '“team”)

I am an avid traveler - if I’m not working, I’m in a random place in the world drinking coffee with my boyfriend!

My guilty pleasure is watching recipe videos of things I will never make!

I am a huge fabric nerd so don’t get me started…. or do at your own peril!

I hope we can work together and that you allow me to be part of this beautiful bridal journey you are on. I can’t wait to make memories together!

  • Diego

    BRIDAL EMOTIONAL SUPPORT DOG

    Diego, my 8 year old Malti-poo looking dog (we don’t really know what he is) will pretend to be fiesty when you arrive, but then will retreat to his special chair in the fitting room and take a snooze during every appointment. Beware: He is an empath and will give you away if you’re having a though day!

  • Chloe

    BRIDAL APPOINTMENT COMPANION

    Chloe, my 14 year old miniature schnauzer, may be almost deaf, but she will still boss your bridal party around for pets. During appointments she quietly observes (maybe judges too) everything I do and is my little shadow. If you’re lucky enough, she might pose with you during your before/after photos.

  • Project Manager

    Alejandro

    SOFTWARE ENGINEER/ PROJECT MANAGER/ UNPAID-DO-IT-ALL

    Yes, we have the same name. This is the future Mr. Needle&Wand ladies!! But most importantly he is the brains behind all of the innovations and project tracking behind the scenes. He makes sure that we always have the best technology available to give you all a seamless, stress-free alterations experience. He also occasionally threads needles in the studio!

  • ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT

    Alexis

    ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT

    If it weren’t for Alexis, your emails would never get answered! She is the person that keeps a tight ship on your emails, appointments, and everything in between. She is also a self taught seamstress and loves Beyonce!

Alterations are carrying the baton to your wedding day finish line - let me be your champion!
