Wedding Dress Alterations

 

Meet Our Seamstress!

Hello beautiful brides! My name is Alessandra, expert seamstress at Kimberly James Bridal and am so excited to share my story and work with you!

I am originally from the city of Belo Horizonte in Brazil. I have decades of experience with weddings gowns, menswear, and even figure skating costumes! I began my career when I was just 16 years old, having studied patternmaking, sewing, and embroidery. I specialize in gown alterations and veil embroidery. I am also so blessed to be a mother of 2 amazing boys and moved to Philly from Connecticut, where my sons are back at school.

We are so happy to have her as a member of the KJB team! She works with brides that have purchased gowns at Kimberly James Bridal & need a seamstress. She also takes on special projects such as mother of the bride/groom, personalized veils, gown reconstruction, & more! If you’re interested in her services, please contact Kimberly James Bridal via email or phone, or send Alessandra a DM via social media @alessandracouture.

  • I had the best experience with Kim and her seamstress Alessandra! I went to another bridal shop to get my dress then I had called in a panic because the original seamstress i was going to use was away the entire month before my wedding. They gave me peace of mind and helped make my dress absolutely perfect! would 1000% recommend them to anyone!

  • Alessandra, the seamstress, did a beautiful job on my dress. Lace straps tend to irritate my skin and cause my skin to turn red and itchy. I expressed my concerns and Alessandra was able to make a last minute alteration to the straps. I could hardly even feel the straps- they were so smooth. She even made hair scrunchies for my bridesmaids out of the extra material! The whole team is just wonderful to work with. Very professional, experts in the wedding industry, and respond promptly.
