Lindsay Douglass
BRIDAL TAILORING SPECIALIST
Lindsays’ sewing career has come full circle. In 2011 while attending Oregon State University for Apparel Design and Merchandising Management, she interned for Julia in bridal alterations (yes, out of Julia’s basement). She graduated college and moved to Eugene to be the alteration seamstress at Blush Bridal. At Blush, she conducted fittings and did all the sewing alterations and custom design work herself. It took five years, but in 2018 Lindsay found her way to back working for Julia, and couldn’t be happier! Since having her first son in 2022, Lindsay has stepped back from fittings and just works on wedding dresses in the sewing studio and on scheduling.
Favorite thing to sew?
“I especially like working on lace dresses. There are so many sneaky tricks and techniques that you can do with lace that cannot be done on flat fabrics. It’s the one alterations space where the seams of the dress don’t always dictate what can be done or changed. Lace provides a bit more freedom and creativity.”
Favorite part of alterations?
“It’s all just a big clothing puzzle. Being able to take a dress apart, fix what needs to be fixed, and then put it back together as if nothing has happened? Yeah, that’s pretty cool! We get to make changes to such important garments while still maintaining the original design and integrity.”
Movie I can watch on repeat and never be tired of?
“Empire Records or Ready or Not. Both are excellent!”
Furry friend?
“Our crazy German shepherd/Husky mix named Dexter.”
Fun Fact!
“I started getting grey hair at 16 years old. At 35, I love how much silver is taking over!”
