When Heather Kesteleyn was 8 years old, her grandmother taught her how to sew, and a few years later, she started working in her great aunt’s alteration shop. Since 2014, Kesteleyn has been harnessing her love for fashion and sewing to give brides their dream dresses at Perfect Fit Bridal.
“Right after I had my third daughter, I graduated college for fashion design. I was doing alterations out of my parents’ house and I got to a point where I was really busy. So I rented a space,” said Kesteleyn. “I had a fold up table and chair and my sewing machine and I just started with that.”
The then Illinois-based alteration shop slowly began to offer more wedding services such as tuxedo rentals and bridal gowns.
