“Nadine made me feel right at home! She made sure any worries I had were addressed and helped teach my best friend how to work my bustle via video chat. Working with Nadine felt more like seeing a very good friend rather than visiting a seamstress I had hired.”
- Jordan
When starting Sweet Francis Sewing Co, my priority was to cultivate a positive, super comfortable, and fun alterations experience for local women.
Each part of wedding planning should feel special and exciting, so let's make your alterations experience just as fun as the cake testing! I want you to feel beautiful, confident, and joyful in your gown- and that starts with your first fitting.
If altering a garment is a new experience for you- no need to worry! I'm here for you and I'll be walking you through each step of the way.
Each love story is unique, and it’s my privilege to share your story through the art of sewing. As a bridal alterations specialist, my focused skill set allows me to be more attentive to the details of your wedding gown.
I absolutely love working in a space full of love stories, pretty dresses, and the most special PNW bridal clients! Sweet Francis Sewing Co is my little happy place, and I hope it can be yours, too!
Hey! I’m Nadine, and I’m so glad you’re here!
Imagine wearing a dream wedding dress that's your perfect length- you don't need to worry about picking up the skirt when you walk, or kicking out the fabric to avoid tripping! What if you could have a custom bra built into your dress, so you didn't need to stress about a strapless bra on your wedding day? Or what if you could design a perfect little sleeve that covered that little love nub next to your underarm? (you know what I'm talking about!)
With custom alterations, we can take a wedding dress that's already beautiful, checking off all the 'dream dress' boxes, and make small or significant changes to make it absolutely perfect for you- for your body's curves, your wedding day vibe, and honestly, for your peace of mind!
"Do I even need alterations? That sounds stressful!"
You might be saying...
Once you find the perfect wedding gown, the next step is to truly make it YOUR perfect wedding gown!
Bridal parties are welcome here! Alterations services are offered to bridesmaids and mothers of the bride and groom. Ask me about promotions for your bridal party!
At Sweet Francis Sewing Co, you won't only receive quality alterations. You'll experience the magic combo of a comfortable boutique setting, customized appointments, and the support from a seamstress who truly has your back!
Community matters. As an Olympia small business, Sweet Francis Sewing Co is proud to invest in local arts groups as a means to give back to our community. Currently, Sweet Francis sponsors Olympia Youth Chorus, and Student Orchestras of Greater Olympia.
Alterations can be one of the most special details of your wedding planning. My job is to highlight your favorite features, so you can feel like the most confident and beautiful version of yourself when you walk down the aisle! It's normal to have a little anxiety about the process- wearing a fancy dress in front of all your wedding guests can feel intimidating, and all of our little insecurities can come to the surface during wedding planning. At Sweet Francis Sewing Co, all of these details are taken into account when planning your custom alterations. This is a really personal experience, in all the best ways!
