CH Studios

I bought my wedding dress at The Altar and found Christine through these reviews on Unilocal.I was very nervous initially as our wedding is a non-​traditional Vegas ceremony (no bridesmaids and such) and I wouldn’t have a maid of honor or anyone with me. The very first time I met with her at her home studio, I was instantly relieved. She is warm and made me feel very comfortable (which for a modest girl who has to disrobe in front of a stranger is HUGE). She crafted custom straps for my dress and made my dress fit like a glove to my hourglass figure. I couldn’t be more happier and I am so glad I found her. I can’t wait to wear my dress in 2 weeks.
If your a new bride and your reading this — do not waste your time with anyone else. Christine is the real deal!

I wish I could upload before and after pics. Christine is wonderful and my dress fit great.

Christine was wonderful to work with. I had ordered a dress through a bridal shop in Connecticut but needed someone local in Colorado to do the alterations.
We had multiple fittings spaced out over a few months. Christine took my dress in and added a bustle. By the time she was done my dress fit perfectly!
She also has a wonderful demeanor and is always pleasant and upbeat to work with. She takes time to explain what she’s doing throughout the process and even gives you tips for your wedding day such as how to walk and dance in your dress. She is the best and definitely worth going to!

Christine made my dress fit beautifully! She knew exactly how to make the dress flatter my figure. I highly recommend her! Very talented, knowledgeable and professional.

Christine took such good care of us! I initially went to her for alterations on my Tara Keely dress based on the recommendation of Blue Bridal where I purchased it. They did not steer me wrong.
Christine is incredibly talented and knowledgeable. After my three fittings, she had my dress fitting me absolutely perfectly. My mom made my sash and she helped us brainstorm as it was being created. She payed attention to every need and even sewed in some special components in my dress that hooked inside my bustier to keep my strapless dress from falling down. I was walking all over and dancing through the night (sometimes holding little kids) and never felt like my dress was falling down.
In addition, my groom and groomsmen had ordered custom suits from an out of state company and we had a number of challenges with them. They came in really late — trickling in between two weeks and a week from the wedding and some of them needed a lot of adjusting. She went to work on all of them — sometimes needing to add fabric due to a shortage in the seam allowances. She really saved us with this one. We were in a major pinch and she cheerfully jumped in to help us.
Thanks to Christine, my wedding dress and the suits looked stellar on our wedding day. Working with her is stress-​free because she knows exactly what she is doing with every alteration. I can’t recommend her enough!

Christine is GREAT! She is a lot of fun, too. She is not cheap, but I suspect she charges about market rate, maybe slightly more. However, on your wedding day you can pay more! I think the worst thing about wedding dresses is that they rarely fit. Mine fit like a glove. I had to drive all the way from Ft Collins to Denver, but I had learned of Christine through a friend, and I did not want to take any chances. Sure enough, she did an amazing job.
My bust is a 10 and the rest of me is a 2, so she had her hands full. I bought extra material to cover my bust (make sure to do that if you aren’t sure!), and she made everything look seamless. She also added a strap and removed a bunch of other stuff that I did not like. I was very picky, and she calmed me down and kept me sane.
I actually hated the dress at one point and she was the one who made sure, in the end, I loved it.
Bring shoes and under garmets that you will be wearing, and get extra material, if necessary. Don’t hesitate to add anything. She knows of a great place in town, and I ended up getting really cool bling.
Email her or call. She is great.

Christine was so great. her house is packed full of dresses (makes me wonder how many people haven’t Unilocaled about her cause they have had good experiences) and so it took about 2 months for the three fittings– but i went in with ample time.
she was courteous, funny, personable and good at what she did. she replaced a ribbon that didn’t match, made the easiest bustle ever and really worked with me on what i wanted. blue bridal referred me to her and i am so glad that they did.
kudos to a woman who knows what she is doing and has a smile when she does it.
thank you Christine!
