She's the Cat's Meow - Silverton, Oregon

Our experience with Sue was extremely disappointing and stressful. I entrusted her with my wedding dress in the beginning of 2024 and did not receive it back until the end of October 2024, just two weeks before my wedding. I also asked her to create a veil using my mother’s wedding dress, and she assured me she could handle this special request. Unfortunately, the entire process was marked by poor communication, including canceled appointments and delayed responses.

At my dress and veil fitting appointment, the dress was beautifully done, but I later realized the veil was not made from my mom’s wedding dress. Sue had mistakenly swapped my veil with another bride’s. After much back and forth, she eventually returned a veil—but it still wasn’t made from my mother’s dress. I was devastated to learn that my mom’s wedding dress had been completely lost. Sue claimed the cleaner was responsible, but as the professional handling such a cherished item, the ultimate responsibility lies with her.

To make matters worse, the veil I received had a strong odor of cat urine, as Sue keeps a cat in her shop. A week before my wedding, I had to spend four hours redoing the veil myself to achieve the look I had originally requested.

Despite the emotional distress and inconvenience, Sue has not taken accountability or made any meaningful effort to address this situation. Losing a family heirloom is heartbreaking, and I cannot recommend her services to anyone seeking reliable, professional, or respectful treatment of their belongings.

I'm working with Sue for my bridal alterations and upon my first visit she was so welcoming, friendly and answered all my questions. Looking forward to seeing the finished product. Highly recommend!

Sue was so so sweet & her shop cat was even cuter!!

I brought my dress in to be hemmed, new cups & bustled. The hem job was absolutely amazing, as well as the new cups! The bustle broke about 3 hours into my wedding which was unfortunate. I was also charged $175 for steaming that i didn’t need since i would be able to do it myself, so maybe make sure to state if you want/need it steamed.

But over all Sue was a great person & i would recommend her for cups & hemming any day!!

I am getting my wedding dress altered by Sue. She was so kind and easy to talk to! She was patient with me and clear in her instructions to make the experience fun and memorable. And she is so affordable compared to what I was quoted from David's bridal! Thank you so much Sue!
10/10 would recommend!

She was a very nice lady! And she did a good job but she only had to take in my dress and put some snaps on the cape which totaled 45$. She charged me 55.00$ for steaming my dress which was brand new and a rush fee of 75.00$ . I didn't ask for it to be steamed or ask to have a rush put on it . She's the one that set the date for me to come get my dress! Just make sure you ask before hand how much she charges . I was in a hurry so I didn't look at the receipt! I will never use this person again!

All the good things to say about this place and owner. Sue works very quickly to help adjust even the smallest things. I worked with her for my wedding dress, and she made my dreams come true. Sue was even very accommodating when last minute my mom needed her dress altered. Not only is her work amazing, she is very kind and has the cutest space. Thank you so much Sue! I will send pictures as soon as I get them. 🙂

Sue was great! She was very accommodating with my schedule and fitting needs. Sue was sweet, caring and genuinely focused on making my big day special with my dress fitting perfectly. They were simple alterations, and she also was great with my Bridesmaid's dresses. Sue made my flower girl a adorable tutu for the ceremony. Absolutely the best! So happy going to her for my wedding.
