Beauty by Design

Beauty by Design is a Minneapolis bridal studio, owned and operated by designer and tailor Deborah Hill, offering custom bridal gown design, alterations, and vintage gown repurposing. The studio produces handmade, eco-friendly, and fair-trade-sourced gowns in-house, with services spanning fully custom designs, fit alterations, and repurposing of heirloom or vintage garments into new pieces. Deborah Hill has been designing and sewing most of her life, with many years of experience in making custom clothing. Located in Minneapolis, MN, at the Northwind Lofts, 2400 N 2nd St. Clients highlight Deborah's ability to realize unconventional requests (including a black plus-size gown and a glittery purple butterfly dress), her skill with delicate heirloom fabrics, her same-day responsiveness to last-minute fit issues, and pricing they describe as fair and comparable to buying and altering a ready-made gown.
