    Delores was the perfect tailor

    I'm very pleased with her services! I've hired other tailors to fix dresses, costumes, suits but it takes someone very skilled and confident to tailor/reconstruct a dress with so many details on the fabric! You are a talented sweet woman! Thank you for making this an easy experience.

    Ducharme Designs's reply:

    Thank you Mincy, it was such a joy working with you and getting to know you. I was honored to work on your dress and love that you are renewing your vowes! I really appreciate your kind and complimentary review, your opinion matters a great deal.

    Amazing Wedding Dress Alteration Experience!

    Delores did an amazing job altering my wedding dress! I knew nothing about alterations, and she was patient to explain my options and each step. On my final fitting, she was not fully satisfied with the way the bustle fell, so fixed it then and there. Delores went above and beyond to make sure everything was PERFECT. Thank you Delores!

    Ducharme Designs's reply:

    Thank you Alli, I really enjoyed working with you and you looked marvelous in your dress. Really suited you! I appreciate your comments as your opinion means a great deal to me.

    Delores Made Everything Alright!

    We had a wedding gown, the maid of honor dress, and a suit to tailor. Delores was our ace in the hole! She did it all! Our garments are perfect for our big day. She is an excellent communicator as well as an excellent seamstress. Her place of business is comfortable and very safe. She absolutely took away our stress by quickly fixing our problems. And she is a pleasure to speak with. Thanks!!

    Ducharme Designs's reply:

    Oh thank you Andrea, what a nice review. I enjoyed working with your entire family. The appreciation you showed me was so heart warming. You are all such wonderful people. Your opinion matters a great deal and is very much appreciated. Would love to see some pictures of your family's special day!

    Delores is The Fixer!

    Delores altered my daughter’s wedding dress, another daughter’s maid of honor dress, and my son’s suit pants. Jos A Bank’s said that the pants were unalterable. But Delores made them perfect. The wedding dress was so lacy and complicated; it turned out beautifully! The maid’s dress needed major alteration; it looked wonderful on my daughter! Delores’s place is super safe and non creepy. Other places I considered were located in rough areas.
    Thank you Delores! Who knew that alterations could be a smooth and joyful time in prepping for a wedding?


    Ducharme Designs's reply:

    On my goodness Andrea, you make me want to us me! Thank you so very much for the vote of confidence and letting me help you and your family out on that special day! Your opinions matters a lot and I love sharing it with others too.

    Wedding Dress Alterations

    Ducharme designs was responsive, quick, and did great work! My dress had intricate design details but she was able to take it in without impacting the design, and made it look easy! She also took the time to show me exactly how the dress was supposed to be bustled (several times) so there were no delays on the wedding day. I would recommend her services to anyone who needs their dress altered for their big day!

    Ducharme Designs's reply:

    Thank you so very much Jessica, I loved working with your dress and with you and your mom. Your opinion means a lot to me and I appreciate the time and effort you took to deliver such lovely words. Congratulations on your big day!

    EXCELLENT Mother of the Groom Dress!!!

    I was SO lucky to have found the amazing and incredibly talented Delores Stiver at Ducharme Designs. Her custom bridal dress studio was one of the exceptional highlights and experiences leading into our son’s wedding weekend in creating a one-of-a kind Mother of the Groom dress for me. After shopping trips to bridal salons and stores and feel despair over the lack of uniqueness I found Delores who told me if “I have a vision she can make it for me”. I actually sat down and drew a little drawing of what I was thinking in my mind – and she totally got exactly what I was picturing, and she listened to me in designing a dress that I not only felt stunning in but had countless compliments and everyone wanting to know at the wedding (and on Facebook) ‘Where did you get your dress” AMAZING!
    She made the entire experience a complete dream from start to finish and by the end I had more than a talented dress maker, but a friend!
    Ducharme Designs worked her magic in bringing my hopes and dreams to life no matter what my size and shape was, to make me feel incredible at the wedding!!
    There are not enough words to describe how grateful I am, but I can tell you I felt like a million dollars on the big day, and I was a magical experience!

    She also helped with my little granddaughter’s dress who was a flower girl in getting it to fit perfectly on such a little body- Thank You!!
    HIGHLY RECOMMEND Delores!!!!

    Ducharme Designs's reply:

    Thank you for the beautiful words and very heartfelt sentiments. I really enjoyed working with you. You have an impeccable sense of what looks good and what doesn't. Your dress ended up so beautiful and fit your style to a tee! Radiance gleamed from your face as your son walked you down the aisle to your seat. I was honored to be the one to make your dream dress come to life and you wore it well. Thanks again for sharing your opinion and the beautiful pictures as well. Your thoughts mean a lot to Ducharme Designs.

    Excellent! Love ducharme designs!

    There are no words to express how grateful I am to have had Delores come into our life for our wedding – she made a complete, beautiful custom Mother of the Groom dress from start to finish just based on a drawing we had on a piece of paper and she made it come to life!! She helped select the perfect fabric and trim and she fit it to PERFECTION. She also stepped in to fit everything to perfection with our bridesmaids, flower girl and even alterations to the Father of the Groom’s suit. She is hands down THE BEST IN THE AREA!! Delores is such a joy to work with and extremely experienced at knowing exactly how to get the custom look and fit for our wedding party – You will be so happy you called her. She is definitely an expert in her field!! Thank you Delores!

    Ducharme Designs's reply:

    Oh my Diane, how flattering! Thank you so very much for trusting me with your wedding party! It was a joy working with everyone in your party, especially your sweet little flower girl! I believe the fabric and design you chose are perfect for you and you will look stunning on Dec. 16th. Thank you for your opinion and for letting people know what Ducharme Designs can do. Your thougths mean a lot to me and are very much appreciated!

    Hands down the best you’ll find!

    I’ve worked with Delores for years, starting with my prom dress she me made for me 20 years ago! Her eye for detail is amazing and is so incredibly great to work with. Whether getting her to do your alterations or making your dress, you’re in amazing hands!

    Ducharme Designs's reply:

    Emily, thank you so very much! You are also amazing to work with. Your style and vision are what dressmakers enjoy working with. I have truly enjoyed working with you over the years and look forward to more opportunities in the future. Thank you again for your kind words, your opinion means a lot to me.

    One of a Kind

    Look no further for your clothing creations. Ducharme Designs is in the business of making you shine on your special day. Whether it's a prom, wedding, quinceanera, christening, your child's wedding, or just a formal dinner with friends, Delores' magic sewing will make you feel like the bell of the ball. She's so very talented; I'm really glad I found her. I am no longer at the mercy of retail seamstresses who make clothes for the masses, none of which ever seem to work for me.

    Ducharme Designs's reply:

    Karen, how lovely of you to write such glowing words, and yes I love working with all types of gowns and clothing. It was such a delight meeting you and working with you. I certainly look forward to doing more creations/ alterations with you in the future! Thank you so much for your review, your opinion means a lot to me!

    Excellent Design Sewing and Alterations service

    My experience with Delores Stiver, the owner was absolutely excellent in everyway. I needed a Grandmother of the groom formal evening jacket and skirt. I could not find anything in the store and I COULD NOT FIND A PATTERN THAT I LIKED. I showed Delores a Jacket that I wanted duplicated, and she was able to make a pattern from the existing jacket to make my evening attire. I was very pleased. She also had to do alterations on a dress for my sister to wear to the wedding. She practically had to remake the skirt. It turned out beautifully

    Ducharme Designs's reply:

    Oh thank you Carole, you were such a delight to work with and you have very good taste. The jacket and skirt design you had picked out for yourself, suited you to a T and you looked so lovely. I really appreciate you taking the time to write this review for me. Your opinion matters tremendously!

    The best dressmaker in my world which is Texas.

    Delores was amazing. I bought a gown for my stepson’s wedding. I bought it 2 sizes larger because I did not like the revealing neckline and wanted more coverage. I knew only Delores was skilled enough to transform my dress. Let me just say she went above and beyond my expectations. My gown fit like a glove and gave me the coverage I desired. I was thrilled to say the least. I felt wonderful in my gown and got many compliments.

    Ducharme Designs's reply:

    Thank you Diane, especally for taking the time and effort to write this review. Your dress ended up looking amazing on you! It didn't quite start that way with the fit needing a lot of revamping, but it's ultimately the end product that matters and you wore it well! I can imagine you recieved many compliments. Your opinion matters and is greatly appreciated. Thanks again!

    Professional

    Delores is a more than a seamstress she can take a dress and make it to perfectly fit your body. She has a an eye for detail and can make suggestions that you never even imagined could happen with a dress. She helped my two daughters with their wedding dresses and my girls were so delighted with how Delores made their dress fit perfectly. I would highly recommend Delores. She can work magic!!

    Ducharme Designs's reply:

    Thank you Staci! I have enjoyed working with both of your daughters and you! It's been a real pleasure to be able to transform their dresses into what they had imagined when they first laid eyes on them in the store. Making people happy is my passion and working with ladies like you makes it so much more enjoyable. Looking forward to working with you again!

    Delores was wonderful to work with and quick to respond! I only needed a hem and a bustle for my wedding dress and she was able to see me right away! Also, the fabric on my dress was hard to work with, but she took the time to sew it by hand and it looks great!

    Thank you Megan! I really enjoyed working with you and meeting your friends at the final fitting. You looked fantastic in your dress! Your husband to be, will be in total awe when he sees you come down the aisle! Your opinion matters to me, so again thank you and good luck on your special day!

    Excellent work, timely and professional

    I have known Delores for more years than I can count. She has done many alterations for my daughter and I over the years - prom dresses, wedding dress, and clothes. She is incredibly talented and so easy to work with - she does exactly what the customer wants and the finished product is always perfect! I would not trust anyone as much as her - she is the best!

    Ducharme Designs's reply:

    Amazing customer service and great outcome

    Delores was recommended to me by a friend. I told my friend I bought a vintage dress from the 50s that was home sewn but had no idea who to take it to so that I could get it altered. Delores welcomed my gown and was excited to help! I fell in love with the bottom of the gown and wanted to turn it into a skirt. The appointments with her were easy and quick. She gave suggestions and options and did her magic! It turned out better that I imagine it could. I cant wait to wear it on the big day!!

    Ducharme Designs's reply:

    Oh thank you Esmeralda! Working with you was a joy. I loved the excitement you had for your dress and it turned out great with your perfect choice of jewelry and headdress! Looking forward to seeing pictures of your special day!!!! I really appreciate your kind words, they mean a lot to me.
