About Our Seamstress

In 2014, I got my hands on my very first sewing machine, whipping up odds and ends for family and friends. It wasn't until 2019, when my fantastic Aunt Tracey took me to a bridal show in Chicago, that my love for all things bridal truly bloomed. That event gave me a small glimpse into the enchanting world of bridal fashion, hooking me in an instant! From there, I dove headfirst into designing dresses, using my daughter as my trusty mannequin to perfect my skills. This journey has been a whirlwind of learning and mastering the art of sewing professionally. More than just a job, this craft is my heart and soul. Waking up each day with the chance to share this passion with others is a dream come true.

Our Reviews

Olivia Lukasik:

I have recently had a bridesmaid dress altered as well as a couple other small personal items. (My sister brought her wedding dress here also). Carolyn is SO friendly and does amazing work! 5/5 star! This will now always be our go to seamstress!
Lacey Valois-Ambroso:

Carolyn is a gem to this town. Her sweetness really shines when she is working with customers, and I cannot be happier with my alterations she provided for both of my dresses for my wedding. She knows what she's doing but also listens to any ideas you have for your dress alterations. I cannot recommend her enough; she is an angel. It's not often you see someone who is so good at their craft and truly loves what they do, but Carolyn does it with ease. She is selfless and giving, truly a heart of gold with the skills to match! You will NOT regret going to her for any of your alteration needs, you will be leaving your clothing in the best hands around! I will be referring her to anyone who needs alterations from now on!
Thank you so much, Carolyn, you helped me feel so beautiful on my wedding day and for that, I am forever grateful

The Perfect Fit and the perfect experience!
For a bride who just needs someone to TRUST among all the planning of details, The Perfect Fit was a saving grace!
From the moment I tried on “the one”, Carolyn was there to help perfect my look! Knowledgeable, personable and professional, The Perfect Fit made my wedding alterations a breeze. My wedding dress, MIL dress, MOH dress, and bridesmaid’s dress were fitted for alteration in a snap in the comfort of a chic, intimate, cozy workshop.
Don’t waste time calling endless alteration shops. She’s amazing and you absolutely won’t regret working with her!
