One leap of faith transformed years of creative experience into a thriving bridal career.
In this episode, Nadine sits down with Chris, a Pennsylvania-based bridal seamstress whose business took off quickly after a bold career shift. Chris shares her journey from fashion illustration and costuming to going all-in on bridal alterations post-COVID. You’ll hear how mentorship, community, and collaboration shaped her growth — from finding guidance through other seamstresses to building local relationships instead of competing. Chris also opens up about early wins, growing pains, hiring help, pricing confidence, and why she wishes she had started sooner. This episode is for seamstresses considering a career change, navigating fast growth, or learning how to build a sustainable bridal business with intention.
In This Episode:
- How a leap into bridal turned years of creative experience into rapid business growth
- What made her business grow faster than expected in the first year
- What no one tells you about the growing pains that come with being fully booked
- The mindset shift that helped her stop underpricing and start owning her value
- Why collaboration with other seamstresses accelerated her business instead of slowing it down
- Small wins that validated she was on the right path — and kept her going
- How hiring part-time support created freedom without overcommitting
- Lessons from stepping into a room full of strong business owners for the first time
