I took my wedding dress and a bridesmaid dress to Darcy. While she is personable, I was disappointed with the quality of the alterations on both dresses. I ended up having to find, and take, my wedding dress to another seamstress with only a couple of months before my wedding.Darcy also told me that my request to alter the cup size of my wedding dress “could not be done,” that is just was not possible to do with my dress (I had no beading or lace on my dress). She informed me of this on my second fitting, after the first visit when I had told her my concerns with the bust of the dress, and after she told me that she could make all of the adjustments needed. When I did take my dress to another seamstress, Debra Hedeen, she had no problem fixing the cup size of the bust. I would like to give Darcy the benefit of the doubt, because I don't think she would just make something up about what can and cannot be fixed on a wedding dress, but she does not have the skill level to make certain alterations.The lady I ended up taking my dress to also charged a lot less for alterations, so my suggestions to brides in the Seattle area would be to shop around.

A little pricy, but did an amazing job. The business is run out of her home, but looks nice inside.
Darcy did my wedding dress alterations--and they were absolutley amazing. She brought the straps of my dress up (which were entirely beading, by the way, and had to be brought up because I'm so short), brought the hem up just a tad, pulled in the sides because I lost some weight (the sides of my dress have a ton of piping in them, so this was not an easy task!) AND sewed in some pads for me so I didn't have to wear a bra, plus put in the hooks for my bustle--all for $200. She is 100% reliable, friendly, professional, courteous--everything a girl would want! Darcy is a Godsend--especially because I ordered my dress online and so I had to find a private alterations person--no bridal salon would do my alterations unless I ordered my dress from them! And I had to go to Darcy before I even ordered my dress in order to get the correct measurements to order the dress in--she measured me and helped me select the correct size--and when it came, it nearly fit me perfectly--so I didn't have to spend a ton of money on alterations. Thank you Darcy!
A friend of mine was recently in a wedding and had her bridesmaids gown altered by Darcy too--and she loved the work too!
Darcy works out of her home--but she has a separate door entrance for her business. She sells jewelry and more at her place, too, but she never, ever once tried to "sell" me anything--I just looked and browsed on my own--which was so nice!
Great experience, can't say enough good things about her!
Darcy is fabulous! She is a professional and personable and just a delight with which to work.
Everytime I saw Darcy about my dress she made me feel like a million bucks and entirely confident that she was going to deliver, as promised. She made a gorgeous bustle for my dress, took it in 3 times and hemmed it to perfection!!!
Darcy also took care of my mom's dress and took special care to ensure if fit exactly the way she wanted it to ... and it turned out spectacularly. My mom looked radiant on our wedding day and her dress fit like a glove.
Darcy is amazing at what she does and although her location was not necessarily convenient for me, Darcy is flexible and willing to fit you into her schedule when it works for you. If she were to have been 100 miles away - she would be my choice ALL the way. She is a master alterationist!
Thank you so much, Darcy!!!

She has been making and altering wedding outfits including Indian dresses (Which are very heavy materials and had Swarofski crystals and beads) for maybe 20 years. Since she knows what will and won’t work, and what she can do she gives you the confidence that she is going to get you the perfect fit and she did!!. She is great!
The alterations were done correctly, efficiently and in a timely manner. I was also was able to buy garter’s there as well as Cookie Lee bridesmaid jewelry.
Darcy is great, I bought my dress used and was told a stain wouldn’t come out, Darcy sent it to a great cleaners and it came back clean. She’s fast and affordable. The only problem that I had was she NEVER measured me, so I had to make a few extra trips back because the alterations weren’t right, she altered my chest instead of the ribs, which made the dress too big in the chest. I had to get extra padding and a WHOLE lot of fabric tape on the big day.
