What People Are Saying
βMichelle is a creative force! I originally came to her for some standard alterations to my Anthropologie wedding dress, but after months of what I feared was buyerβs remorse, we ended up doing was a complete redesign. We fully deconstructed the dress, created an entirely new bodice and silhouette, and transformed it from an A-line gown into the ball gown I had been envisioning in my head.
To be honest, almost everyone told me what I wanted to do was impossible or a mistake, but Michelle listened to me, trusted the vision, and pushed herself creatively to make it happen. She worked absolute magic. She sourced custom materials and worked with local vendors to pull everything together on a really tight timeline, and the final result was beyond anything I could have imagined. The dress ended up being one of the highlights of my entire wedding day and worth every penny.
On top of being unbelievably talented, Michelle is also so friendly and wonderful to work with. Hopefully I only get married once, but if I ever needed another wedding dress, Iβd go right back to her.β

Michelle is AMAZING!! I was in complete shock seeing my dress come to life. I told her what I wanted, bit of inspo and she gave me my dream dress. It fit perfectly, she made a custom corset for me and itβs now a permanent piece of my wardrobe π I felt like a literal fairy being carried by the butterflies she scattered across my dress!! 10000/10
β Ashlee BennesonMcEllis Brides & the owner Michelle are gems in the bridal community of Hampton Roads. A small, but mighty bridal shop that caters to all body types and has a fantastic selection of plus size gowns. The most welcoming and helpful staff that makes you feel like family and are the ultimate hype girls. The studio is comfortable and intimate. All of the gowns they picked for me to try were stunning. They listened to every detail of what I was looking for and made sure I left with the perfect dress. I couldnβt have asked for a better experience and urge all brides, plus and standard sized to come here for their dress shopping.
β Nancy HoadleyI cannot say enough great things about my wedding dress alterations experience here. I came in with a used dress I purchased online and she completely transformed it β made it comfortable, form-fitting, restored the complex lacework, and added beautiful beadwork that took it to another level. When I mentioned we were a military family PCSing on a tight timeline, she got everything done in record time and had the dress packed up and ready for me to carry with me. Every appointment was easy, fun, and stress-free. She is incredibly talented and genuinely cares about her clients. I would recommend her to any bride without hesitation. So grateful she was a part of making my wedding dress perfect.
