Margaret Aldrich, The Traveling Seamstress, is bringing her seamstress and designer services to The Bird and Bear Collective. With over 20 years of professional experience and advanced training, she provides personalized, high-quality garment solutions ranging from simple adjustments to complex redesigns for prom dresses, costume and evening wear.

“I believe in a body-positive approach to fashion. If a garment does not fit correctly, I aim to reframe that experience through honest, empathetic, and efficient alterations that allow your confidence to shine. Whether you are looking to refresh a gown or need an expert assessment for a new one, I look forward to collaborating with you.” {Margaret Aldrich}

Over the next two months, she will be accepting appointments at Bird and Bear to assist with prom or formal dress fittings (see additional dates on our events page). These 15-minute appointments will primarily focus on marking hems for alterations, with pick-up scheduled for a later date.

• Appointments are 15 minute, with a $5 reservation fee. Price of alterations will be determined at the fitting.

• Please remember to bring the shoes you will be wearing on the day of the event, to the fitting.

• If more time is required, or additional dates are needed, fittings can be arranged directly by contacting Margaret via email.
