Susan has put together a comprehensive, easy-to-follow book that gives confidence to even the inexperienced sewer. Her step-by-step instructions provide successful alterations-the first time! Even with 40+ years of sewing experience, I've learned invaluable tips. This book has become my Bible in making that dream dress fit like a dream. Thanks, Susan!!

I am in love with this book. Never before have I found such comprehensive information in one little book. She covers how to do beading, preserving, all sorts of alterations, and even a pricing guide if you want to become professional! I highly reccomend this book to anyone who wants to sew wedding dresses for fun or profit.

I've been sewing for 27 years, 15 of which I have sewn for the public. A position for an alterationist at a bridal shop became available, so I bought this book to sharpen my skills. I now alter wedding gowns full time as my own business in my own home. What a wonderful book!

Don't buy this book I got ripped off, I have been a seamstress for 25 years and doing bridal for 5 years I am always looking for new techniques but this is basic construction.
This is way overpriced and the information in it can be found on the internet for free.
The dress designs this book refers to are no longer in production.
Any one who sews and knows about garment construction and has a little common sense when it comes to sewing does not need this book. There is no substitute for learning as you go. Go to the Thrift store, Goodwill, Salvation Army or yard sales pick up a gown cheap take it home and practice on it. Any sewing book by Palmer and Pletch covers the same basic information and is a lot cheaper.
Anything related to bridal is overpriced and I should have known this before I purchased this book and got ripped off.

I see that many people are saying this book is way overpriced. Well, no wonder.
This book sells NEW a catalog called "newark dressmaker supply" for $ 15.95.
Plus shipping. I cannot believe how the people who are selling this book on this site are ripping people off and cheating them. There is no excuse for this
blatent "get rich quick:" scam.

Book: How to Alter a Bridal GOwn by Susan Ormand. I feel cheated and scammed. I ordered this book ($40 used) over a month ago. Was supposed to be shipped between May 7-10. I still have not received. I have sent two e-mails to the seller and have never had a response, not a thank you for your order, not a shipping notice. not a response or explanation as to why I haven not received.. This is no way to treat a customer..

This is small (about 5"x8") 140 page paperback book. Way too overpriced for the content. I ordered it to get info on fixing a gaping front neckline. The information was not adequate. I got my answer from an experienced seamtress.
