Great service from a highly skilled artist!
I went to Lynn after I got quoted an absurdly high fee from the dress store where I got my wedding dress. Lynn found a way to make the numerous dress alterations in a faster and more cost effective way! I ended up paying half the price of what the dress store quoted me. Lynn is very obviously skilled in her craft, and it shows in the way she finds creative solutions to dress problems and cater the dress to your specific preferences. The dress fit me perfectly and the alterations were incredibly well done. She is also a sassy, hilarious QUEEN who will provide emotional support, positive pep talks and wisdom during this wedding journey. She tells it like it is and we appreciated her honesty and sincerity. I am so grateful I found Lynn. She is worth the drive to Devon! Highly recommend her!

Quick and excellent
Lynne is so great at what she does. She is quick and to the point and is a mastermind when it comes to alterations. She was done my wedding dress in no time and we had to take out 5.5" due to me buying a bigger dress to fit my hips. She made my dress fit me how I had imagined and she didn't let it go out the door until it met her level of perfection. Thank you so much Lynne!

Wonderful experience
I had a great experiene working with the dress whisperer, she was so fast literally my dress was altered within a few days. I was having trouble with the straps staying up even after we made them fit to my body because the straps wer quite wide set and she provided me with extra ribbon to tie them at the back where no one would see. So happy with how everything turned out.

The Perfect Fit
After my wedding dress had been sitting in a closet for 2.5 years I was worried it wouldn’t fit. Lynne was able to tailor it fit perfectly and gave me ideas for making it comfortable and easy to dance in. She was able to move some of the detailing on the dress and you would not know anything had been changed. Her work is impeccable and she is transparent and forthcoming with timelines and prices from the first phone call. I highly recommend her services for all your wedding and dress alteration needs.
