Wedding Dress Alterations & Preservation
Over 36 years of expert craftsmanship dedicated exclusively to bridal gowns.
What I Specialize In
I focus on two things and do them exceptionally well — wedding dress alterations and wedding dress preservation.
The Difference
Every alteration is a collaboration. I ask at every step — this way or that? How does it feel? — until the dress reflects exactly who you are.
Your seamstress is just as important as your venue, florist, and photographer. I treat your gown with that level of care and expertise.
If you want to work with your preferred seamstress, book as soon as possible. I typically begin work about 3 months before your wedding.
Based in Kennewick, brides regularly drive from Spokane, Ellensburg, Pullman, Boise, Joseph (Oregon), Seattle, and beyond to work with me.
Also Available
I keep a limited selection of veils available for brides to try on during fittings — a great way to explore different styles and lengths before committing.

About Ronel
With over 36 years of dedicated service, Ronel's Custom Sewing is the premier destination for wedding dress alterations in the region. My journey began with a passion for transforming dresses into extraordinary works of art, tailored to perfection for each bride's unique vision.
I created my own wedding dress as my final project studying in South Africa, and made my first wedding dress for a client at the age of 20. That same dedication and love for the craft continues today.
My StoryKind Words
"Ronel is not only a wonderful seamstress but a very kind and hard working person. She made sure my dress was absolutely spectacular and custom fit for my special day. Her prices were very fair after 3 fittings."
