DCD can alter or redesign your new gown, restore or re-imagine your vintage gown, and find just the right accessories to complete your vision. Enjoy personalized attention in a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere and watch your dreams come true.

  • Expert Alterations because fit matters

    All alterations are not created equal. Great alterations are a result of creative problem solving. The DCD approach to fitting comes from over three decades of experience creating custom gowns.

  • Redesign & Customize make it your own

    With over 30 years experience in designing and building custom gowns, DCD can easily transform your ready made gown into a one-of-a-kind... and make it truly the gown of your dreams!

  • Vintage Restoration imagine the possible

    DCD can restore, re-style, re-fit, and re-imagine your heirloom; from transforming it in its entirety, to using just a fraction of it to create an embellishment, an accessory, or a sentimental secret hidden near your heart.

  • Products & Accessories everything but the groom

    Experience the ease and convenience of one-stop shopping in a comfortable setting with as little or as much help as you need in putting it all together. Get it off your list and onto mine!

Thank you for the amazing job you did on my dress. I had so many compliments, but best of all, I felt fantastic! It was comfortable as well as beautiful!

Thank you so much for everything...I don't know what I would have done without your help on the shoes, bridal party jewelry, invitations, etc.
