Experienced hands for your most important dress
Pearl Stitch Studio is a private bridal alterations atelier. We take a limited number of gowns each season so every bride gets unhurried fittings and our full attention.
Lace, beading, silk and tulle are all reworked by hand, and we match each change to how your gown was originally made, so the finished dress looks as though it was cut for you.
