The last thing you want to think about during your special occasion is the fit of your gown.

Working with formal wear is my passion and has been my primary focus for over 25 years. My attention to detail, a discerning eye and exceptional expertise are the resources I use to make each and every gown perfection. No matter the occasion, wedding, pageant, prom, my focus is to achieve a beautiful fit and to help you feel confident in your gown.
Schedule your consultation no closer than 12 weeks before you want to have your dress finalized and hanging in your closet. Recommended first fitting appointment would be 2-3 months prior to your date. Essential items you will need to bring are your dress, exact shoes* you plan on wearing and any under garments** affecting the fit of the dress.
Preparing for competition puts added stress on the need for perfection. I have been helping prepare competition gowns for over 25 years and understand the unique demands associated with this. Located in NW Metro Atlanta, makes this an easy option for those seeking an experienced seamstress.
I have been associated with the Miss America program for decades but have also altered gowns on their way to Miss USA, Mrs. Competitions, Local, Regional, Commodity and Children's pageants.I have coached and mentored numerous contestants resulting in life long friendships with many. I'm located within a 15 minute drive of the noted pageantry photographer and makeup artist team, Matt and Meredith Boyd.

Belinda was amazing to work with from the start! I just moved to town and needed alterations ASAP for a bridesmaids dress. Belinda was able to squeeze me in and got me my dress in a timely manner. She was kind, quick, efficient and her work was great! I’ll absolutely be back.

Belinda is AWESOME! I ordered a dress from the Ukraine, and was worried about having the lace and beading altered. She not only did a fabulous job altering the dress to fit me perfectly, but she also added some beautiful bustling to the back that really added to the overall look of the dress. I am so glad that I took my dress to Belinda. If I ever need alterations services again, I know where I'll be going! Thank you!!!

I have now used Belinda’s services twice now for bridesmaid dresses and both times she did incredible work! She’s a miracle worker and was so patient with me when I had some dress malfunctions (not due to her) as well as squeezed me in last minute (twice!). She’s quick, fair priced and is the sweetest!

Highly recommend Sew Elegant Alterations for wedding dress alterations! Quick turnaround & very fair pricing! Belinda is SO good at what she does! In 2020 nothing feels “normal” when planning a wedding but trying on my dress last night gave me the bride feel! Can’t wait to wear my dress on the big day!

Belinda is phenomenal at her profession. She is a delight to work with and is really great at understanding your needs. She does wonders with lace and was able to transform my oversized long sleeve lace-detailed dress into the perfect short sleeve dress that fit like a glove. I strongly recommend seeking her for your alternation needs!

I am a bridesmaid in a wedding and I called Belinda about 15 days before the wedding to see if she could alter my dress as I had to wait as long as possible as I am 26 weeks pregnant! She got me in finished my dress up in about a week and it is perfect!! Absolutely wonderful. I will absolutely come here again! Thank you Belinda!
