Custom wedding dress experience

Working with Amanda was an unforgettable experience. She is so talented. She started with a hand sketch keepsake of the vision for the dress, sourced the exact fabric I wanted (and a few other great options), then I got to see the dress come together each step of the way. To say the dress was perfect is an understatement. Amanda exceeded all of my expectations and was lovely to work with along the way. Many of our guests were in awe of the dress - saying how uniquely beautiful it is. I can't thank Amanda enough for her hard work and creating such a beautiful dress.

Wedding Dress Alterations

My wedding dress came in a couple of sizes too big and looked like a sac. I was extremely nervous as my wedding was a month away. Amanda's professionalism, knowledge and calm demeanor put my nerves to rest immediately. Her attention to detail and skillset are impeccable. Would absolutely recommend her services.

Wedding dress alterations

Amanda has an incredible talent. She is a true pro with a deep understanding of shape and form as it pertains to dresses. She is so creative. My dress had an intricate hem and needed to be shortened, she did so seamlessly and paid attention to every detail in the fit.

Amanda is the best!

I am so thankful to have found Amanda! She did an amazing job making my wedding dress fit like a glove. She was so detail oriented and offered her professional opinion of what looks good. She was so encouraging and made me feel so beautiful and confident! I even had my bridal shower and bachelorette dress altered with Amanda and she was so accommodating and helpful. I highly recommend Amanda for all of your wedding dress/wedding event needs!

The Right Fit

I had the perfect dress but the fit was not right. The back wouldn't fasten and the chest area did not sit right in the dress. Enter A.M.E.G. Designs - I had one month till my wedding when I went to her seeking help to adjust my dress. She was calm and reassuring throughout the process. I was provided with the best options to make the dress fit. When it came time to pick up my dress, I was in awe that this was the dress that did not sit right in my body. Now, it hugged the right places, and the pace detail which helped get the fit gave a nice delicate touch to the dress. Thank you A.M.E.G. Designs!

Custom Veil and Alterations

Amanda is amazing!! I’m so happy I reached out to her (I found her via social media) and ultimately hired her to alter my two wedding dresses. From the start, she made me very comfortable and was clear about timeline and price. My dresses were ready on time and they fit beautifully. Amanda also brought my vision to life by designing a custom caped veil to match my ceremony dress. To say it’s beautiful would be an understatement. I fell in love with it at first sight ❤️

Thank you Amanda!!

Dress Alterations

I was referred to Amanda last year from my sisters as they have used her services for alterations. Being a small business owner I know that referrals are the best way to go. I contacted her and she responded and booked me in for a Bridal fitting. The entire process was great and I couldn't say anything but good things. A week before my wedding I went for my fitting and something in the front didn't sit right on me, Amanda and her team fixed it. Even when I picked up they had to make a minor adjustment and did it right on the spot which I was immensely grateful for. I will continue recommending her for anyone looking for alterations. Several of my bridesmaids and Mom used her services and I know my family will continue to go back to her. Thank you for ensuring my dress fit me perfectly for my big day Amanda! xo

my dream wedding dress!!

Amanda is AMAZING!! tell her your vision and she will capture it perfectly! I bought a very cheap dress on some website expecting I would need to have it altered a bit but it needed to be pretty much re done. I didn't like the boob cups, or the vibrant white slip under the dress I wanted flowing sleeves without elastic and didn't like the mesh all over the top of the dress. I gave Amanda the dress and my idea and she worked her magic!! The dress turned out beautiful and better than I could have imagined. I felt like a goddess on my wedding day in this dress. She is absolutely amazing at what she does and would highly recommend her for your dress on such an important day ❤️

Amanda Garrett Garrett
Owner/Designer

My name is Amanda Garrett and I have been sewing for about 16 years now. The first wedding dress I created was for my sister, back in 2010. I loved the process of choosing the pattern, the fabric, and the details that would fulfill her vision of a simple, elegant, full-length dress with beading. From start to finish I was in L-O-V-E! That experience inspired me to create more dresses. As my client base grew, I realized I was hooked! In 2013, it was time to launch my business, A.M.E.G Designs. (Which is my full name, Amanda Mary Elizabeth Garrett, in case you were curious ;).)

Now that’s the ‘business’ side of my story. But there’s a personal side, too. I struggled with body image issues for a really long time. For years, I suffered from never feeling happy in the clothes I was wearing — literally feeling uncomfortable in my own skin — until I created my first dress. O-M-G! It fit me perfectly and as a result, I felt fabulous! That dress made me aware that having something tailored to my own, individual shape, I not only felt more comfortable, it heightened my self image. It inspired me and, along with a lot of self-love care, I was able to see a clearer image of myself, which ultimately led to the vision for my business. My goal is to elevate and accentuate the best parts of my clients, leaving the rest behind them. Insecurities can get in the way when it comes to clothing, but why let them? There’s a simple solution…
