Meet the Owner

Emily-Jane Curtis

My name is Emily-Jane Curtis, and I’m the owner of Dress Your Best LLC. With over 6 years of professional experience, I’ve had the pleasure of helping clients look and feel their best through quality alterations and custom sewing.

I offer expert alteration services for everything from bridal and formal wear to everyday clothing, catering to both men and women. Having worked with local bridal shops, I specialize in wedding gown fittings and formal dress tailoring, ensuring every garment is finished with precision and care.

I also provide practical sewing solutions for the home, including hemming curtains, creating cushion covers, and custom sewing for household projects. Whether it’s a suit jacket that needs shaping or a favorite pair of jeans that needs mending, I’m here to help you feel confident in every stitch.

  • Hemming (pants, skirts, dresses)

  • Taking in or letting out seams

  • Strap and sleeve adjustments

  • Zipper and button replacements

  • Suit and jacket tailoring

  • Dress resizing (prom, bridesmaid, and formal gowns)

  • Modesty adjustments

  • Patching and repairs

How long do alterations typically take?

Most alterations are completed within 4 to 8 days. Wedding gowns and formalwear usually take 1 to 2 weeks, depending on my current workload.

Do you offer rush alterations?

Yes. I offer expedited service for a 20% rush fee on the total cost. Be sure to let me know your deadline when you book, and I’ll do my best to accommodate it.

You can schedule directly through my online booking system. You’ll select the type of alteration and receive an estimated price before confirming your appointment.

What payment methods do you accept?

I currently accept Venmo, Cash App, PayPal, cash, and checks. I do not accept debit or credit cards at this time.
