From my own quiet world to the beauty you carry into yours.
I started The Lace Exchange because I realized that the alterations process shouldn't feel like a scary doctor’s appointment or a stressful chore. It should feel like getting ready with your best friends! We're here to be your hype-girls, your technical experts, and the people who make sure you can actually breathe and dance on the best day of your life.
A few things to know about me:
My Coffee Order: An iced oat milk latte, always.
My Wedding Vibe: I’m a sucker for a long cathedral veil and anything sparkly.
Why I Do This: Because every bride deserves to feel 100% confident in her skin (and her dress).
When I don’t have a pincushion on my wrist, you can usually find me hanging out close to any shoreline.
I'm your favorite third wheel with a needle and thread
Here is what we promise every bride who walks through our doors:
Zero Judgment, All Love: Whether you’ve been dreaming of your wedding since you were five or you just want to get the tailoring over with so you can eat tacos at your reception—we’re here for your vibe.
The "Safety Net" Guarantee: We are your technical experts so you don’t have to be. We handle the stressful "how is this going to hold up?" questions so you can just focus on how good your curves look in the mirror.
Total Transparency: No gatekeeping here! We’ll explain every pin, every stitch, and every cost upfront. Best friends don't keep secrets, and neither do we.
Your Biggest Cheerleaders: When you step out of that dressing room, we aren’t just looking for hemline errors; we’re genuinely obsessing over how incredible you look.

Hi, I’m Annie! I’m the one who started it all because I believe every bride deserves a stress-free 'bestie' experience. When I’m not sketching out a custom neckline or pinning a hem to perfection, I’m probably hunting down the perfect iced latte. I’ll be your main point of contact for your vision and the girl making sure you feel like a total 10/10.
The girl boss
Hi! I’m Tari and I’m the one who actually gets under the hood of your dress. I’ve spent over a million minutes (literally!) perfecting lace, silk, and tulle. I’m a bit of a perfectionist, so I won't rest until every bead is secure and your bustle is party-proof. I can’t wait to show you what your dress looks like once it’s tailored specifically for your curves
lead seamstress
Hey there! I’m Sara and I’m the voice on the other end of your emails and the one who makes sure your fitting fits perfectly into your busy schedule. I’m a total organization nerd, so my job is to handle all the logistics so you and [Founder's Name] can focus on the fun stuff! If you need to reschedule or have a quick question about our process, I’m your girl!
office manager
Hey, I’m Jason the resident 'spreadsheet guy' here at The Lace Exchange. While the ladies are making you look breathtaking, I’m behind the scenes making sure the business side of things runs smoothly. I keep the coffee stocked and the bills paid so the team can focus entirely on you. If you see me in the studio, don’t be shy—I’m a pretty great hype-man, too!
the numbers guy
