In Part 1 of this incredible story, we shared how Hannah from Michigan found her dream dress—only to discover it was unwearable. At 70 pounds, with sleeves that restricted movement and a neckline that felt suffocating, the dress was breathtaking in looks but impossible in function.
After being turned away by tailors across Detroit, Grand Rapids, and Chicago, she found her way to Tad More Tailoring. The first time we laid eyes on Hannah’s dress in person, we were in awe of its detail—and understood immediately why every other tailor hesitated. But we were happy to say yes to the challenge! In this post, we’re showing you how we took her from stuck and stressed… to stunning, confident, and ready to dance.
The Final Fitting
By the time Hannah returned to our shop for her last fitting, we had already put weeks of detailed work into re-engineering her gown. At this stage, the dress looked dramatically different—lighter, more fitted, and finally wearable.
But this wasn’t just about physical alterations. What stood out most was the energy in the room.
Hannah walked in carrying weeks of anxiety and left with visible relief. We could see her shoulders drop. Her smile got bigger. She exhaled in a way that only a bride who’s finally comfortable in her dress can.
She wasn’t just able to walk in her gown now—she was able to sit, dance and twirl in it
The Power of the Try-On Moment
If you've ever doubted the impact the right fit can make, Hannah's final fitting will convince you.
We watched her transform—not just in how she looked, but in how she moved. Suddenly, she wasn’t stiff or cautious. She was playful. Confident. Joyful. That’s the magic of alterations done right.
We always say that great tailoring isn't just about stitching—it’s about storytelling. And in this moment, Hannah’s story turned a powerful corner.
