[Anabaptist Bookstore] Dress-Making Service
by Mennonite Seamstress
Where seekers come . . . .

I received my dress today. It is beautiful. I could not wait to put it on. It fits just like it was made for me. There is nothing I would change. God bless you for this lovely dress. I hope your business flourishes in the Lord.   Charise
Have you been wanting plain dresses? My daughter Dora (contact) does custom sewing for people just like you. At times my wife Ruby helps out. They have scores of very satisfied customers.

The custom dresses they make are made from patterns cut out for each individual customer based on that person's unique measurements!

Pricing is indexed to age. However, if a child is large for her age, we may need to use a higher price.

Prices do not include shipping via Priority Mail, which could range from $6 to $16.

The information your provide below is not your final order. It is merely your initial inquiry; we will contact you for your final confirmation as well as any further information we need.

Notes:
  • Since these are customized dresses, the measurements below are essential. Simply saying "I'm size 14" is not enough.
  • Do not allow for seams in your measuring.
  • If you have a dress that fits you well, use its measurements (except for bust, waist and hips).

  • Unless specified otherwise . . .
  • All sleeves have elastic.
  • Dresses are made with hidden zippers down the back.
  • The fabric is cotton or cotton-polyester blend.
