    Older Bride

    Michelle is a very talented seamstress! It’s amazing how she was able to make an older bride in a wedding gown feel lovely and confident.

    My dream Wedding..,,,,Gown

    Omg where do I start, I had purchased my gown and then list 2 dress sizes long before my wedding, so I searched for a wedding dress designer who also does alterations… then enter Mi belle Rene Designs.. she worked a miracle on my dress, creatively and uniquely adjust my dress.. she is the sweetest my professional person I have met.. I also utilize her with other alteration etc.. If I could give her 10 stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I would.

    Amazing! Loved every bit of the experience!

    Michelle was a life saver! I needed my dress for a wedding taken in and shaped a bit better in a very short timeframe, and she did her magic! She was so sweet and fun to work with. Her pricing is very reasonable for the quality of work. Will 100% be using Michelle again 🩵

    My big sister is absolutely amazing

    My big sister is absolutely amazing and so extremely talented. I have a disability and she helped design and make both my senior prom dress and both of my night to shine dresses long distance and she did an amazing job. I wouldn’t have trusted anyone else besides my big sister to make my dresses.

    Absolutely amazing

    We absolutely love Michelle and her work. She is so friendly and you can tell she loves what she does. She is full of ideas and recommendations. We have used her for our Daughters senior homecoming and Prom (Oct 2022, May 2023) for homecoming she was even able to make a beautiful tie for our daughters date out of what was removed from her dress. For Prom she was able to alter the top of the dress to accommodate our daughters chest. She altered the length of her 5 layer dress and altered the back of the dress to make our daughter feel as beautiful and confident as she looked.
    We highly recommend Michelle.

    Michelle Rene is a wedding rock star!

    I didn’t know a service like Michelle Rene’s existed, but I am very glad I found her! At my first fitting, my gown came out of the bag and panic set in. I was thinking, “how the heck am I or any of my girls going to be able to steam this well enough to make it look good for the wedding?” I was lucky enough to find Michelle Rene in a frantic Google search.

    I opted for the day-of wedding concierge service and I am SO glad I did! Not only did she come out the morning of the wedding to steam and press my gown, my bridesmaids gowns, and the men’s suits, but she went...

    Dress emergency

    I recently got married on November 13. That morning, I opened my bag which held my wedding dress and found multiple errors in my dress. The previous week I had picked it up from the place I had alterations completed, $475 worth, or so I thought. My dress was supposed to have a belt cut and sewn into the seams on the side of it. Much to my surprise, I found my belt to be not only free hanging, but barely secured to the dress. The lady who "altered" my dress wanted me to bring the dress to her and tried to say I didn't tell her I wanted the belt sewn into the seams, which I did, multiple...

    Michelle Rene Saves the Day

    I found Michelle Rene through a friend and had her not only had her help me design a look for my bridal shower, but also redesigned my rehearsal dinner skirt and my wedding dress alterations. In our final fitting, my mother and MOH looked at each other, completely overwhelmed of how to help me into my dress on the big day, and with five days before the wedding, my mom asked to hire her as our day-of concierge/assistant, and Michelle dropped everything to help! With an affordable price for her service, her presence was not only outstanding, it was invaluable. We didn't realize how much we needed her until the big day came. While myself as the bride was...

    Dress Alterations

    Super sweet & detail oriented

    Michelle was absolutely amazing to work with! I first contacted her about creating a custom veil for my wedding out my mom's wedding dress. She came up with a beautiful design plus other small touches we could make from my mother's dress!! She also did my alterations. She was super sweet and easy to communicated with! I highly recommend for any custom work or alterations for any occasion!!

    Reasonable Pricing

    Michelle is amazing!! I am a plus size woman, and I had doubt's about fitting into my wedding dress. I also had doubt's about finding something that would allow me to wear a regular bra underneath instead of a strapless one. When I came to Michelle, not only did she reassure me that everything would work out, she made it a reality!! She is talented, on time, down to earth, and a great Seamstress! Her prices are reasonable for what she does.

    Michelle Rene' helped throughout my entire wedding planning. She helped me find things I needed, made suggestions, and helped out with the smallest details. Whatever could have gone wrong during my planning, did go wrong, but Michelle Rene' was always encouraging me and bringing a smile to my face. She would always make sure I knew everything would turn out to be wonderful and that it did! She has a positive attitude and warm personality. She always makes you feel special. I would recommend her to anyone!!

    Michelle Rene made my dreams come true!

    Michelle was able to do major alterations on my 63 year old wedding gown that had been worn by my grandmother and mother. She is so fun and creative to work with! She was able to bring this dress back to life and turn it into something that felt my own. I am beyond thankful for her hard work and incredible skill. I would recommend her to anyone!

    So caring and kind!

    Michelle was amazing! She was very responsive to texts, and always listened to my concerns with my wedding dress. I spent a lot of money on my dress and it was the only dress I liked so I was very worried when choosing someone for alterations. I made the right choice! Michelle finished my dress in a short amount of time, created a beautiful bustle, and made sure I loved my dress before I left every appointment. Will always recommend her!!

    2 Dresses!

    Had a great experience with Michelle!! She was so friendly and accommodating, even when i showed up with a second dress at my second fitting. She made me feel so comfortable and confident! Made the whole experience stress free and was able to alter 2 dresses and a blouse for me within a month. Would highly recommend!!

    The best person for your wedding!

    Hiring Michelle was the best decision I could have made for my wedding! She is absolutely incredible and I highly recommend her! I initially met with Michelle because I needed a seamstress for my wedding dress. She was really helpful and patient when meeting with my mom and me and we felt all the wedding stress fade away because she was so reassuring about everything. She mentioned that she had an extra concierge service where she would be present throughout the wedding and assist with everything, including wardrobe, makeup, etc. We hired her for dress alterations and the concierge service right away but it was not until my wedding day that I realized just how critical Michelle’s concierge service...

    Extremely Accommodating

    If I could give Michelle 10 stars I would! I reached out to her with a last minute request (less than 48 hours before my daughter’s homecoming dance). She responded promptly and was extremely accommodating. I was able to get a same day appointment & she completed the dress alterations within 24 hours! The pricing was also reasonable. Furthermore, she was pleasant and communication was excellent, which is always important, especially when dealing with a time-sensitive matter. We are completely satisfied and will utilize her services in the future. Thank you again Michelle, you saved the day!!

    Just what we envisioned!!

    Highly recommend Michelle Rene Designs! She completely removed and designed a new bodice for my daughter’s wedding gown making it just what she had dreamed of. Michelle was very easy to work with and we always had a lot of fun during the appointments. We also needed a veil and Michelle designed one in a beautiful cathedral length. She involved my daughter in the placement of the lace and design of both the veil and dress. She also created a veil for the miniature bride that matched my daughter’s. So happy we chose to go with her for our alterations. She is very reasonable in her pricing as well. Thank you, Michelle!!
