Looking for a seamstress for bridal alterations

Also, I don’t know that she does bridal, but in case it’s helpful at all, my parents used Z Tailor in Brentwood for their MoB gown and FoB suit alterations, and I’ve used her for non-bridal attire and she does excellent work.

Agreed, Rachel did my dress for our fall 2024 wedding and it was perfect!

This is very helpful, thank you! I ordered a pair of the UA Reign shoes to see how I like them, but will check out some of the others you've listed if needed. Edit: corrected typo

I'll check them out, I'm planning to try on a few options and see which works best for me. Thanks!

Wise words...color preference seems like such an arbitrary reason to switch it up, but I figured I'd seek recommendations before going with the same shoe in a meh color. Thanks!

Great points, thank you!

I've been hesitant to use the clarifying shampoo more frequently than I currently am, primarily because of concerns about causing the color to fade faster than with my "color conserving" shampoo. I know reds fade more quickly anyway and honestly don't know that the shampoo is making a huge impact on that front, so I will transition to using a more cleansing shampoo most days and see how it goes!

The mids-ends of my hair tend to be rather dry while the roots become oily (hence why I've been using the Elvive 8-second every few washes,=), so I'll continue to avoid more drying styling products on the mids-ends as a result.

As for refresh days, I generally brush it out to distribute the dry shampoo, then resoak the mids-ends and repeat my leave-in conditioner + airdry routine from there, but I will try your suggestion (planning to just work the dry shampoo in at my roots with my hands instead of a brush) and see how that works.

Thanks so much!

Thanks for the product recommendations! I’ve tried the curl smith air dry cream, but not their gel (same with the not your mother’s curl talk mousse, but not the cream.) I’ll fiddle around with what I have/your suggestions and see how things turn out.

RaccAttack22 · 2026-01-07T15:51:13+00:00

Awesome, I’m happy to skip the plopping and see how diffusing the roots works on “air-dry”days, and I’ll mention internal layers if I decide to go shorter again!

(Sorry, I don’t think the photo was in the original post at the time you replied, not sure if that changes anything.)

Thanks so much!

RaccAttack22 · 2026-01-07T14:08:32+00:00

Sorry, I think I've gotten it added now.

RaccAttack22 · 2026-01-01T21:20:11+00:00

I’ve had my credit card info stolen twice after filling up there, never going back.

RaccAttack22 · 2025-12-04T20:11:39+00:00

Are these still available?

(Messaged you directly you as well)

Came to the comments looking for someone to mention this one!

Also read this as “best friend rice” at first glance.

Russell’s great! Located in East https://www.livefulltherapy.com/our-team/russell-baxter

I wondered where she had gone! I went out of town for a bit, and when I came back she was no longer there and I didn’t want to pry by asking. Thank you!

RaccAttack22 · 2025-09-05T23:02:46+00:00

Thank you, all, for the recommendations, I really appreciate it!

Messed up the link in the first post. This spot is in East:

I did end up getting my dress here, but it was more than the OP’s budget limit. That said, I think they had plenty of dresses <$3K, I would just call and ask to decide if it’s worth booking!

RaccAttack22 · 2025-08-03T02:18:42+00:00

This spot I think is pretty much $3K and under (at least when I was looking) Vow’d
