Sew In Love Couture

Wow I don't even know where to begin w/ Jeanette! I feel so lucky to have found her. After buying a wedding dress I ended up not being happy with because I gave up on looking for what I really wanted, I thought I would regret giving up. The last thing I wanted was to not be in love w/ my wedding dress. So I went on a mission and yelped every wedding dress designer I could find in close proximity! I didn't get a good feeling from a lot of them and felt I was going to get taken advantage of and ripped off. Then I found Jeanette. I emailed her and told her my situation and sent her pictures of inspiration for the wedding dress I wanted made. I was a little nervous for her reaction since it was a new trend and most of the places I called didn't know what I was talking about. I sent her pictures of crop top (2 piece) wedding gowns. Her reaction was awesome and she absolutely loved my ideas!! She just loved the look and the new trend! It felt so good that she was on the same page as me and she was so excited! Jeanette had never made a crop top wedding dress before but it was so sweet and cute how thrilled she was to have the chance! I made an appointment w/ her and we discussed design ideas, budget, timeline, her process w/ making the dress and her impressive background. Jeanette was so sweet and personable, she made me feel so comfortable and I instantly trusted her. I hired her on the spot to design my dream wedding gown!! Throughout the process Jeanette was very easy to get in touch w/. She returned emails, texts, calls in a timely manner and was always there to give me advice or suggestions when I needed them :) She is super professional, knowledgeable and oh so patient! When we went to the garment district to look for my lace fabrics she never gave up in finding what I was looking for. Once we found the lace, Jeanette had all these ideas and suggestions! I took all her suggestions and you should, too! Trust me, she has done this her whole life and she knows what she is doing :) She even hand cut every single piece of lightly sequined lace and hand appliqued over the mesh of my crop top so she could create a unique style of her own!! This woman is seriously amazing and so talented! The amount of time she put into this dress just melts my heart. She truly loves what she does and is so happy to see her brides so happy! I would recommend her to anyone!! The end result of my wedding dress was amazing and everything I had imagined!! My fiancé was floored when he saw it at our First Look!! He kept saying "it's so beautiful and so you!!" My guests were stunned when they saw me walk out and they couldn't stop asking about my dress!! I haven't received the professional pictures yet (except one, in which I will post) but I will post more of those when I get those in. Thank you again Jeanette for my amazing wedding dress that I'm so in lOvE with!!!

Never in a million years did I think that I would be able to wear a custom made dress to my wedding...until I met Jeanette! We created the most beautiful gown that I could have ever imagined. She made the entire process extremely easy....and affordable!!! Let's not forget to mention how fun she is. Jeanette is a wonderful person with a great heart and fantastic energy. I absolutely loved working with her. I would (and have) recommended to her all my bride friends!

After I got engaged, I decided I wanted to wear my mother's dress for my wedding. My mother and I are very close and I wanted my dress to be unique and to tell a story. Plus, I thought I would have fun by contributing to how it would be designed. After trying the dress on, it fit perfectly. It was a gorgeous dress and a little ahead of its time, however, it had long sleeves, a net back, a lace collar, and a long train. All this was too overwhelming for me when looking in the mirror and I felt it was a lost cause. I almost began to cry because I could't visulaize how this could possibly work. A few weeks later, my mom and I took it to Jeanette and she had me try it on. Immediately, Jeanette was ecstatic and excited to which I couldn't understand why! But she said it was so beautiful and the dress was going to be incredible when she was done altering it. Jeanette was always reassuring, open-minded, easy to work with, and has an extremely sophisticated eye for design -- the one I needed to reassure me. When I tried on my dress at my last fitting, I almost began to cry again, but this time for different reasons. She had completely transformed it to the image in my mind. It became the gown I had been dreaming about. It was classy, timeless and elegant with a modern touch. With lack of a better way to describe it: it was perfect. Not only was my dress exactly as I had hoped it would be, but Jeanette is as incredible as they come and she is everything you want your designer to be when preparing for one of the biggest days of your life. Also, you want someone you can trust; not only someone to handle and care for your dress as you would care for it, but you also want someone you can trust who will guide you and tell you what works well and what doesn't. Jeanette took such amazing care of me and my mom, who also had her dress altered by Jeanette. She is an amazing woman with an amazing story. I would recommend Jeanette at Sew in Love Couture to anyone and already have! Custom dresses are definitely the way to go...refer her because she will not disappoint -- she will give you the dress you've always wanted and even more. Thank you for everything, Jeanette!!!

Jeanette is an exceptional dressmaker! She was attentive and always responded quickly to any questions I had. My wedding dress and reception dress were beautiful and exactly what I wanted. I have recommended her to a number of people already since nothing beats a custom made dress! She made the entire process fun and simple. Definitely consider her as an option before you buy an overpriced dress in a boutique or store.

I looked everywhere for a wedding dress. I tried on so many but none fit my vision of what I was looking for. I wanted something unique and wanted sleeves. Luckily for me I knew Jeanette and was able to design exactly what I wanted with her. It was so much fun seeing my dress come alive. I loved wearing it, the fit was perfect and it was gorgeous!

Jeanette of Sew In Love Couture pretty much was like my fairy godmother. I really wanted a dress that was unique and not from a big box bridal shop. I was referred to another seamstress by a friend of mine and the original dress didn't come out as expected, it just didn't fit right. I decided to look for another seamstress that could help fix my dress and thats when I found Jeanette on Yelp. Jeanette is a seasoned seamstress when it comes to bridal gowns so from the first look at my original dress, she was able to see what had gone wrong. Basically, my original dress wasn't salvageable, the cut and type of fabric used wasn't right for a bridal gown. Rather than starting from scratch (I was a month away from getting married), she offered one of her original designs for me to wear! It was pretty much meant for me. The cut, fit, and design was gorgeous. It was an elegant dress with an intricate lace detail and it had a matching veil! I was very grateful that she had given me her dress to wear, I got so many compliments for the dress. The words used to compliment my dress were: Classy, elegant, beautiful, timeless, and intricate. Jeanette knows her stuff, she's up to date with the trends and a lot of her designs are very classy and timeless so you won't have to worry about looking back at your pictures 10 years from now and wondering, "what was I thinking!". She'll work with you, so if you have a design in mind, she can help create a one of a kind dress that flatters you. I highly suggest contacting Jeanette and considering using her services to create a bridal gown that was meant for you. Rather than going to a big box bridal gown store and purchasing a dress that hundreds of other brides would be wearing down the isle, design your dream gown with Sew in Love Couture!

Walking by the booth at a wedding expo, I walked by, only to stop and turn around. Immediately, I was blown away by the work on display. Jeanette made me feel SO comfortable and it was like I'd known her for years. I had a hard time figuring out what I actually wanted - but I KNEW it had to be unique! So, she worked hard for me on colors, lace choices, and design. The final product - STILL my favorite piece of clothing! She is one of the MOST AMAZING dress designers I've come across, has the highest quality of service, and made my day super special! I ALWAYS recommend her!

To say that Jeanette knows what she is talking about and is talented is an understatement. She hand created the dress of my dreams based on the 50 pictures I gave her. She spent time out of her busy schedule to look at every single piece of lace in the garment district (multiple times over and over) with me to make sure that I found the perfect lace for my dress. Not only that, she was so well connected with the store owners she helped me stay on budget without giving up my vision. Her feedback and intuitive knowledge based on your body type and every form of dress is impeccable. I'm a picky person and she never complained about having to fix the front of my dress multiple times. The amount of work and artistry that went into my dress (including hours of hand beading and hand sewn train trim) was unreal. I couldn't have even dreamed up the result. She even made my fiancé's vest AND my rehearsal dress (which she recreated from a Pinterest photo I gave her into a way better dress). My advice: listen to her suggestions- she knows what she is talking about. Don't take her for granted by having her alter someone else's creation (although her alteration work is perfect as well). Put the time and dress portion of your budget into Jeanette's hands and you won't regret it.

Jeanette is fabulous. I found my dream gown after much searching, and needless to say, was a little hesitant about letting just anyone chop it up for the needed alterations :) So I did a lot of research to find someone with excellent reviews who it seemed I could trust, and Sew in Love fit the bill! Jeanette has been in this business for many many years, and is a total expert. She's also very personable, fun to work with, and seemed to truly care about my big day! I had a dress with lots of complicated detailing and lace, that needed to be taken up & in quite a bit. She had to get very creative in finding a way to do this with all the detailing, and I was absolutely amazed with the results. Despite much cutting & resewing that had to be done, the altered dress "looked like it was born that way", as she put it. She was also very reasonable with pricing. I would highly recommend Sew In Love to anyone...thanks Jeanette!! :)
