Unique Wedding Dress

Alison was a dream to work with! Being from the USA and marrying a Japanese man (aren't they an awesome couple???!!) , she wanted a dress that fused the two cultures together. We found an inspiration picture and then made all of the changes that she wanted. The embroidery design was custom designed just for her dress as was the pattern. Charmeuse satin was used to give a light weight yet regal look to the dress.

Custom sewing at its best! I do everything from basic mending to creating your dream wedding dress and everything in between. From cushions, to prom to curtains to Dance costumes, I can do it all.

I started sewing when I was in high school as a way to express my creative side. Both my mom and grandma were seamstresses and I found that I was pretty good at it too. While I never gave it up, life got to be hectic. We lost my younger brother when I was a senior in High School and then with college, getting married and having children it just got set off to the side.

Our first born was named Anthony Peter on January 8th, 2010. My aunt, who is determined to give every child born in my family a nickname, dubbed him Tony Bud (short for Anthony and Peter - my brother who we named him after and who had the nickname Bud - yes by the same aunt). Two months later my husband lost his job. In a way, I guess the saying "Necessity is the Mother of Invention" greatly applied to what would follow in our lives.

As it happened, my next door neighbor at the time needed new outdoor cushions made for her patio. I, in passing, said I knew how to make them. She was elated and went out that day, bought all the materials and wrote me a check for my service. It was at that point that I realized I could turn what was once a hobby into a business.

Later that same year, I started doing craft shows. We didn't have a name picked out yet for the business and when we were asked, my husband and I looked at each other and said "Tony Bud's". Thus Tony Bud's Sewing was born.

It has been 5 years now since I started sewing again on a full time basis. We now have three growing boys and run a "in town" farm with my parents. Our lives are full and very blessed.

I take great pride in what I make. For that reason alone, all of my projects always come with my personal satisfaction guarantee. You will always receive pictures of your item before final payment is due. Based on the measurements you send me, the item is guaranteed to fit. If alterations are necessary, I will cover the cost of said alterations.

I have helped to create stunning dresses for women, great coats for men, as well as something as simple as a blanket for a new mommy to be. I try not to limit myself in what I can do and I am always happy to work with anyone that needs custom work done. I strive to make your dream and vision a reality. I look forward to the years ahead and the many new people that my family and I will meet along the way.

    If there was one complaint I had about Becky, it’s that she needs to sell herself more on Custom Made! Her portfolio does not lend her enough credit. She’s AMAZING!!!!

    I commissioned Becky to make a custom wedding dress for me. I had a good idea of what I wanted to wear for my wedding day, but couldn’t find the style in any store and was put-off by the price tags of most retail wedding dresses. Becky and her team did a spectacular job translating my ideas into a tangible, workable design, which is a very difficult and tedious process. It takes dedication and refined communication skills!

    The dress looks great! It is made with quality materials and expert craftsmanship. And it came out exactly as specified within the timeline that I provided. And bonus: Becky has very reasonable pricing.

    Becky, you did a fantastic job! Thank you for making my first Custom Made experience so positive! I will be sure to send you wedding-day photos, and if I ever need any clothing made just for me, I know who to go to! XOXOXOXO

    Becky is just an overall amazing person! She helped me with so many decisions and gave me advice when it came to budgeting. AND she finished the dress ahead of schedule!
