With Spinner’s closing in Sydney it left the community in a shortage for Suit rentals. I have been in communication with their suit rental company and will be taking over from where Spinner’s left off. I am finishing up the paperwork and will be receiving their catalog soon. Looking forward to adding this service 🙂

Sorry for closing early yesterday. I’ll be back tomorrow regular hours 1-6. I had another death in my immediate family making it the third since June. Once the funeral arrangements are finalized I will be closed on that day but will post as soon as I know. Thanks for your patience!

Winter months are the slowest for alterations. If you receive your prom dress during this time please come in for alterations don’t wait! Once April and May arrive I have many dresses to alter! I understand that some dont come in until closer to the date and thats fine I will never say no! The sooner the better!

I receive alot of calls from bridesmaids or brides in a last minute panic, I will never say no, there is always time. Just text 289-839-9194 or jusr show up!

Just a reminder that I’m opened 3 days a week but working while closed to keep up. If anyone needs to make arrangements to come during the days I’m closed just msg or text I will accommodate.

Pant hemming starts @ $11, $9 for kids, $15 for wide leg and $18 for Euro.

Curtain hemming is $10 a panel!

No appointment needed just come in when we are opened!

Happy Halloween Everyone!
Rachael 🙂

Winter hours are now updated! For any alterations come on in when opened. No appointment is required! If you need alterations for an event even if short notice just come on in. I will never say no!

For prom season and wedding alterations just come in no need to call and ask!

Dresses are my specialty and I haven’t met one I couldn’t alter!

If you want to get in touch with me texting is the best way I do not answer calls because I work mostly alone and I don’t have time however text me and I’ll answer as soon as I can and if you can’t text me leave a voicemail and I’ll call you back.

I’m doing some upgrades and am bringing everything online. Once I have everything installed I will have an online phone and will update the number when it’s ready (trying to keep the historic number).

My dresses for 2026 prom have already started to arrive I have many in stock currently. I have 3 orders come from now until February for the last min shoppers! My dresses are from LA and are exclusive to my shop only! Again no appointment is necessary during business hours, for closed hours just msg for an appointment.

Saturdays book up fast!

Roberta Head. Sorry for this post but I cannot answer you. Your messenger isn’t allowing me to respond. It all depends on how many layers and the circumference of the dress itself. It’s easier for me to price if you bring it into the shop.
