About Me

With over 22+ years of experience, I provide high quality creative solutions to make your dreams come true,
creating comfort and elegance for your important life event.

A Bit About Me: I have always been curious about creativity and helping people. Growing up as a young girl, I was not allowed to go to school because I was a girl and because of the war situation in my country. My mother got me into a private school with a professional seamstress where I studied for 6 years, sewing and finishing my education. I made custom clothes for several years. After coming to the U.S.A., I had an alterations business for 11 years in Madison, Wisconsin. Once I came to Rochester, Minnesota, I worked as an Alterations Specialist and then as an Alterations Manager at David’s Bridal, handling hundreds of brides and bridesmaid dresses, with superb customer service and reviews. Regularly, our team ranked in the top 7 stores nationwide (out of 300+ stores). Since David’s Bridal’s store closing in Rochester, MN, I continue to serve in the local and broader communities of: the Twin Cities, Southeast Minnesota, adjacent Wisconsin and Iowa counties, plus many people who come from a long distance, such as, the Dakotas, Florida, California, even Hawaii. I love going to weddings and formal family events. Since my own wedding, I have helped many brides and bridesmaids because I know how special these events are in the lives of people.
