Ashley R. Wheeler, Miss Vermont 2008
"C's work is amazing! Her talent has been a blessing to me as I prepare to film a television show and as I prepare for Miss America. One of my Miss America gowns was too large for me. It also was beaded and delicate. I was worried if anyone could alter such a delicate and important piece. Crisis averted... C made it fit me perfectly! Now I can walk out on that stage with great confidence! Thanks C!"

I was just 12 years old...

...when my mom first introduced me to sewing.
I now have over 30 years of experience.

I understand how much time and emotion that goes into choosing just the right gown for that very special day! The next step is making the gown your own and quality alterations are important. I believe you should have trust in the skills of your seamstress from the first time you meet! I am a perfectionist who strives for excellence in my work. I am not afraid of challenges, they are the key to my creativity. My work is prompt and thorough, often completing the alterations in 1 to 2 weeks. I love what I do and strive to make what can be a stressful time in a brides life as enjoyable and stress free as possible.

Professionally, I started my career selling a line of my own clothing at juried artisan shows all over the states including Vermont, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, New York, and Massachusetts. Realizing I wanted to make bridal alterations my focus, I became the seamstress for Nicole Roberts of Fiori Bridal in Essex Junction, Vermont. After seven years with Nicole, I was invited to continue my work as the seamstress for Gayla Olesky, a former bride and new owner of Fiori Bridal.

I now reside in the southern Jacksonville, Florida area and look forward to working with new brides in Jacksonville, St. Augustine, Orange Park, Porte Vedra and surrounding areas.
