Gown Sculptor, Problem Solver, and Your Wedding Confidante.
Hi, I’m Alex! Needle and Wand was founded on a commitment to elevate the art of alterations. My journey began with a focus on technical mastery, from studying fashion design at UT Austin to honing my expertise in pattern making in Florence, Italy. I realized my true purpose wasn't just to design, but to execute ideas flawlessly, leading me to the intricate world of bridal alterations. After my first clients, I found profound fulfillment in giving brides confidence through a perfect fit. I am committed to making this process a professional, serene, and joyful occasion, challenging the old view of alterations as a stressful errand. The person you engage with online is the one you meet in my studio — unfiltered, deeply dedicated, and relentlessly professional.

We challenge the status quo by treating alterations as a true art form. Brides love that the result is not just "altered," but reconstructed to fit like a glove, even with complex customizations like corsets, slits, and difficult fabrics (lace, beading). My pattern-making expertise ensures precision that keeps the gown's integrity, delivering a perfect fit that is comfortable and truly flattering.
