My love of sewing started in 1955 at the age of 6. I learned the basic technqiues throughout high school and started sewing professionally in 1967, as a drapery room seamstress. As my skills progressed, my passion for bridal wear prompted me to start my own alteration and dress design business in 1973 out of my home.
I have worked through local bridal stores throughout the years, but also enjoy my regular customers that come to my business for varied alterations. I now have a customer base of over 400 clients and I work on more than 250 bridal and formal gowns a year. I have made designer gowns for runways, fashion shows, and sewn a dress that won a fashion designer competition at the Palladium in Carmel in 2014.

Donna altered my wedding dress which I had bought off the rack on sale at a bridal boutique and was a few sizes too big. It needed quite a bit of work to take in and also had a sheer back with beading which I'm sure complicated things even more. She was able to do all the alterations in addition to hemming the dress which had an extremely long train, adding a bustle, and sewing on a rhinestone belt which I wanted added to the dress. She certainly had her work cut out for her, but she did an amazing job and my dress ended up fitting beautifully and the bustle stayed in place throughout the whole
