  I purchased my wedding gown before moving to Virginia and needed it altered and bustled before my wedding. I’m so glad I found The Valley Bride, because they were the perfect place. The owner, Morgan, is friendly and helpful, and has two seamstresses who work out of her shop on alternating Saturdays. It’s usually a struggle to find a bridal shop that will even alter a wedding gown that was not purchased from their store, but The Valley Bride is happy to for a small fee (which is definitely worth it!). I had a convertible wedding dress that was essentially a cocktail dress with a massive ball gown skirt that fastened around the waist. I needed the smaller dress altered at the top and the skirt bustled. I knew going in that bustling the skirt was going to be no easy task because the skirt was so large and the layers of the skirt were different lengths but the seamstress I worked with, Joy, made it seem simple. She was even able to place the bustle underneath several of the top layers of the gown so that you couldn’t even see where the bustle was, which was exactly what I’d hoped for but wasn’t sure anyone would be able to do. Both Morgan and Joy are awesome to work with and are reasonably priced. They also flexible - I wasn't expecting my gown to be finished for several weeks when my fiance accepted a job opportunity in Michigan and we needed to move within just a few weeks. I expected to have to have the finished gown mailed to me, but after speaking with Joy she had it finished for me the very next week. I absolutely recommend them for bridal gown or other formal event shopping as well as alterations.
