Every Stitch tells your story

 Fitted Stitches began with a simple belief: every person deserves to feel beautiful, confident, and fully themselves in what they wear. What started as a small alterations space nearly two decades ago has grown into a specialty bridal and formalwear studio shaped by experience, compassion, and a genuine love for the art of sewing.

Founded by Summer Strickland, Fitted Stitches was built from a foundation of sewing, costume work, and a lifelong passion for creativity. While Summer began with only a modest amount of bridal experience, the years that followed became a journey of learning, refining skills, embracing challenges, and developing a deep understanding of gown construction and fit. Through dedication, hands-on practice, and a commitment to quality, Summer grew Fitted Stitches into the trusted studio it is today, where craftsmanship and care always go hand in hand.

Over time, Fitted Stitches became more than an alterations studio. It became a place where stories are honored, where heirlooms are revived, where sleeves, lace, and beadwork become expressions of personality, and where clients are welcomed as individuals with unique visions, not just measurements.

Today, our mission remains rooted in the same values that shaped our beginnings:

expert craftsmanship

a kind and comfortable environment

an inclusive and welcoming space

respect for each person’s vision and story

dedication to quality without shortcuts or rushed work

Whether we are redesigning a cherished heirloom, shaping a modern silhouette, adding custom sleeves, or creating the perfect fit for a special occasion, we approach every garment with intention. Behind every stitch is the belief that what you wear carries meaning and that your experience should be just as beautiful as the finished gown.

Fitted Stitches has grown into a home for both craftsmanship and education. Through apprenticeships, mentorship, and community collaboration, we are committed to preserving the art of sewing for the next generation. This craft is too valuable, too rich in history and skill, to fade away, and we are proud to help keep it alive.

At our studio, you are not just receiving alterations. You are being welcomed into a space built on trust, transparency, artistry, and care. Your gown is more than fabric, and your experience with us should be more than a fitting.

This is who we are.

This is Fitted Stitches.

Timeless craft, tailored to your vision.
