Not a store front, concierge seamstress by appointment only.
Hello
Hi, I’m Diana aka Dee — the talkative, detail-obsessed designer, tailor, seamstress behind Bustles on Wheels, offering luxury mobile wedding dress alterations in San Diego and beyond. I’ve spent 15 years sewing, designing, and navigating just about every gown-related scenario you can imagine. I’m calm when needed, creative when it counts, and absolutely in my element when I’m surrounded by beautiful fabrics, gorgeous gowns, and excited brides.
My love for fashion started when I was a kid making tiny clothes for my dolls, and honestly, not much has changed. I still collect fabrics, craft for fun, and find endless inspiration in the women I meet — their careers, their stories, and the magic of their weddings.
Bustles on Wheels was created for the busy bride who deserves to relax. Instead of squeezing another appointment into an already full schedule, you get to sip wine at home while I handle the traffic, the timing, and yes — even the “Did I forget my shoes?” moment. My mission is to bring ease, luxury, and a little fun to your wedding journey.
In addition to bridal work, I also support creative teams on location for TV productions and print campaigns, providing precise garment care, alterations, steaming, and fast problem-solving under pressure. Whether it’s a wedding morning or an on-set moment, I thrive in environments where attention to detail truly matters.
At the end of the day, I’m here to make sure you feel stunning, supported, and stress-free — because your only job should be enjoying the magic.
My Story
Bustles on Wheels didn’t begin with a business plan — it began with a realization.
After years of working as a bridal seamstress in San Diego, I kept seeing the same thing: overwhelmed brides juggling work, life, fittings, traffic, and timelines. The joy of the wedding journey was getting overshadowed by logistics.
I knew there had to be a better way.
What if the experience came to the bride? What if she could step into her gown at home — relaxed, unhurried, glass of wine in hand — without rushing across town or worrying about forgotten shoes?
That spark became Bustles on Wheels: a couture bridal seamstress and custom gown experience built around convenience, craftsmanship, and calm.
What began as mobile wedding dress alterations in San Diego quickly evolved into something more intentional. As a professional seamstress specializing in couture gowns and precision fit, I understand that a wedding dress is architecture as much as it is art. Structure, balance, proportion, drape — every detail matters. Whether I am refining an existing gown or designing a custom piece from the first sketch, expert fit is always at the center of my work.
But technical skill is only part of the story.
I believe the relationship between a seamstress and her client is sacred. I rely on word of mouth, referrals, and the trust my brides place in me. My goal is not to be your seamstress for one appointment — but to become your family seamstress and tailor for years to come. From wedding gowns to custom designs, heirloom redesigns, and future milestones, I want to be the person you call when the fit has to be flawless and the experience feels personal.
As my clients’ trust grew, so did the journey. I began traveling with brides as a bridal attendant for destination weddings — caring for couture gowns, perfecting bustles, steaming fabrics, and managing the unexpected moments that can make or break a wedding day. Whether in San Diego or across the globe, I bring calm, discretion, and precision wherever love stories unfold.
We also love working on location for TV productions and print campaigns, where expert garment care, timing, and couture-level detail are essential.
My story is still unfolding, but its purpose remains the same:
To serve as a trusted San Diego seamstress and custom gown designer — creating a seamless, elevated, and deeply personal bridal experience anywhere in the world.
