The Iron Horse Atelier

rations were flawless! The fit was spot-on. The dress felt so comfortable and flattering, and I felt absolutely beautiful when I walked down the aisle. Amanda was not only professional but also incredibly kind, patient, and attentive throughout the entire process. She took the time to make sure I was happy with every change and worked within my timeline to make sure everything was perfect for the big day. I couldn’t be happier with the results and highly recommend Amanda to any bride looking for impeccable alterations. She truly made my wedding dress dreams come true!

ly! She was so patient with me as I made tweaks and even fit me back in when I realized I wasn't quite happy with the fit. Can not say enough nice things about Amanda and her work!

fittings and her beautiful work on my gown, and couldn't recommend her more!

tely swimming in them and thought there was no hope getting them to fit correctly. However, Amanda is a magic maker; she was so calm and reassured me that it would all work out. She was able to work with intricate detail with no problem at all and made my gowns fit me like a glove. She is so personable, kind and a master of her craft. I cannot recommend enough!

photos of the sample I had and made a set of alterations that made the dress fit perfectly. She was very clear about costs up front and accommodated a last minute schedule change.

ce for the perfect work done. The building and atmosphere are darling and Amanda is kind and really listens to the brides wishes. Could not have had a better experience here. 100% recommend!!!

ueen in my dresses. She was also very sweet and nice to work with.

Bakery Square. From the beginning scheduling through the final pick up, Amanda was absolutely incredible. She tailored my shower dress, rehearsal dress, and my wedding gown. We did three fittings overall. I could not believe her ability to completely transform each dress, making them all perfect for me. Amanda is extremely knowledgeable and gave me advice with my wedding dress to ensure it would be comfortable and fit the best it could. Her prices were reasonable and well worth the work that she put into all my dresses. She just moved to a new location, and while I didn’t get to see it in person before my final pick-up, it looks INCREDIBLE in pictures! I will absolutely use Iron Horse again in the future and would recommend Amanda to any bride!

d my dress into the perfect fit! I got layers of tulle removed, added different straps, and added a modesty piece and everything was perfect. She followed COVID protocols for every fitting. Highly recommend!

r of places before we found Amanda. No one else seemed to understand what was necessary or had the confidence to attempt the alterations my wife considered necessary. Amanda clearly has extensive professional training, something most of her competitors seem to lack. My wife’s dress turned out perfectly, even better than we dared to hope. Amanda also did the alterations on my tuxedo and for my best man. She also altered the dress my mom wore to the wedding. Every bit of the work was superb. Amanda is friendly and classy and her prices and timelines are surprisingly fair. I really can’t recommend her more wholeheartedly. For what it’s worth I think it would be a terrible mistake to go anywhere else.

f the dress displayed just a hint of my shoes perfectly and made me able to dance the night away and be comfortable while maintaining the look of the dress. I know that this had to have been a complicated dress to work with that dealt with many layers and details. The bustles she added were incredible! The way she fit the bust line of the dress was unbelievable. In a dress that could make for discomfort or pulling/tugging, Amanda made it fit like a glove. I was able to dance and move throughout my pictures knowing that she had me tucked in to perfection! Amanda was able to make the dress of my dreams a reality for my wedding night. She was also were extremely aware of timeframe and worked quickly and efficiently. We were so lucky to have found her - Amanda is a true gem!

s of wedding planning for me. Amanda transformed my mom's wedding dress into a gown that felt like mine. She knew how to bring out the best traits of my mom's dress, while making it look like it belonged in 2019, rather than 1985. Amanda took on this task with a ton of patience and grace, never offering unsolicited advice, but jumping in with her expertise whenever I asked for it. I greatly appreciated her tact and professionalism, and the freedom she gave me to envision my wedding gown over the course of several weeks. In addition to Amanda's professional and sophisticated demeanor, Amanda has unparalleled sewing skills. She sewed buttons down the entire train of my dress and completely replaced the skirt, to name just a couple of the big alterations she did. Everything appeared seamless (no pun intended!), and I felt flawless, like the best version of myself, on my wedding day. You need to work with Amanda. This woman is magic. -Samantha C.

asn’t totally sure if it would be a disaster when it arrived but Amanda assured me that we would work out the kinks. She made alterations on the bodice length, cup size and even created a beautiful and flowing high to low hem that I fitted out with a light-up LED petticoat! She got my dress done in less than a month and at a very reasonable price. The dress was one of my favorite parts of the wedding. Amanda did a fabulous job and I hope to have the opportunity to work with her again.

to reschedule at one point, was incredibly friendly and enjoyable to work with, and did a beautiful job on my dress over the course of several alterations and minor fixes. Although her work is not cheap, for the quality and professionalism I think it was very reasonable. I am so glad I went to Iron Horse Atelier for my wedding dress! My bridesmaids also had their alterations done here, and they turned out perfectly.

e would not suggest doing anything else and sent me on my way.

very effort to give me a finished product in which I felt comfortable. My dress fit perfectly! She also did the alterations for my mom's dress which turned out amazing. My mom and I always looked forward to our appointments with Amanda! I would highly recommend The Iron Horse Atelier to anyone in need of alterations on their clothing. Thank you so much Amanda!

edding day. Yes, it's an investment. But you really get what you pay for. Amanda suggested adding boning to the bodice of my dress for more structure, so i didn't need Spanx and other heavy-duty under garments. Highly, highly recommend!!

dding gown, I had gained a LOT of weight since I ordered it, and it did not fit or flatter me at all - I was very uncomfortable. She started fixing everything IMMEDIATELY, and I was incredibly relieved. Every fitting just got better and better. The length was perfect, the bustle on my train was perfect, and the fit was INCREDIBLE. Even up until the last fitting, she continued to make the tiniest, detailed adjustments to make sure I felt completely confident. I am eternally grateful for her magical workings, because I felt so secure in my dress throughout all of the standing, sitting, walking, and most importantly, the dancing of that day. She is so incredibly knowledgeable, and a perfectionist in the best way possible. As for my rehearsal dress, she took my mom’s long-sleeved wedding gown from 1981 (which was already gorgeous) and made it into a short, sleeveless beauty that fit my style perfectly. She did an absolutely breathtaking job keeping the lace and delicate appliques in-tact, all while enabling me to fit into something that was at least 3 sizes too small originally! I will say it again: Amanda is a miracle worker, and just a joy to be around – she is so kind, patient, and incredibly talented. I will definitely go back to her if I ever have any other alteration needs. She is a gem!

ofessional experience. Wedding dress fit is not something to mess with-so stick with Amanda!

p embellishments. Amanda actually listens to what you want, and I never felt like I was being pushed into anybody’s idea of what a bride is supposed to look like. The patterning & tailoring were all spot on. She only uses top quality fabrics, so my dress was unbelievably comfortable and enjoyable to wear. Oh – AND! – she also did it all at a better price than anything I saw in the salons. The custom-dressmaking process is totally nerve-wracking, because you’re making decisions without having something to try on, and a lot of the dress remains unfinished until the last weeks. But I had done my research ahead of time, and Amanda’s process was consistent with what I had learned to expect. Above and beyond that, Amanda is warm, funny, and a joy to work with.

her and she made sure that I was comfortable at all times with how it looked. She was easily accessible for questions as well. She was very professional and her work is beautiful. I would def recommend her!

ant. She has a great little shop in Lawrenceville and she's dedicated to making every detail perfect! I will be returning soon with my other alteration needs! She's the best.

d with the fitting process but Amanda was a gem to work with! Absolutely the sweetest, she made my dress fit me like a glove and she has the most adorable shop in Lawrenceville. Also, if anyone knows Lawrenceville you hate the parking. Parking there was a piece of cake. I would recommend Amanda to anyone. She was wonderful.

ing the week) and she makes sure she schedules enough fittings for the dress to be flawless. I was comfortable and the bustle for my dress, although a little more expensive, was GORGEOUS and worth every penny. She made an already beautiful dress look exquisite!

all in love with my dress all over again! I would 110% recommend going to The Iron Horse Atelier.

could pick up the dress. THANK YOU

s in just a week, and the result was an absolutely beautiful dress, just the way I imagined it. Amanda is lovely, and her work was very intricate and detail-oriented. I think it was my lucky day when the wedding dress got in later than expected and I had the chance to work with Amanda!

dress and leaving the lace down for photos and a ballroom bustle for the reception. I would never have thought of doing different bustles and it made my wedding photos perfect. Her artistic visions became my reality and I don't think my dress would've turned out the same without her. She was easy to work with and had great suggestions. I would recommend her 1,000 times over.

learly talented. I'd recommend The Iron Horse Atelier to anyone!
