I went to Agnes since she was referred by a few girls on a bridal Facebook group I'm in. After reading several reviews and viewing pictures of several dresses she had done, I reached out to her for a quote. Since Agnes had her own studios near me, was reasonably priced, responded in a timely manner, and communicated in a clear and friendly manner I opted to put my trust in her to alter my wedding dress. I bought my wedding dress in a size 16 but had lost 30 lbs since and the dress was already not going to fit me correctly to start since I'm 5'3. Basically, to trust someone with my dress was saying a lot since it needed an overall. I was also very nervous about price, it being done on time, and honestly it not getting destroyed with the amount of alterations needed. Agnes hemmed the dress, removed some of the bulk of the skirt from the side so it would be easier to move in, added the bussel points, took the dress in on both sides, added bra cups, took out fabric from the chest area, redid the chest area since it still had too much fabric, tightened the straps, took in the back straps, took in the arm pits ,took in the butt area, added another hook in the back. When it was done it was so much smaller and had a lot more shape to it. I was actually excited to put it on! We started the process 6 weeks out from my wedding so I was my most accurate weight (make sure to contact her to schedule much farther in advance though) and she had the dress to me about a week and a half before the wedding which was perfect! What is great about Agnes is her work is fantastic and reliable (you don't want to chance your wedding dress), she is a great communicator (You won't wonder what work is getting done or how much you will be paying), her prices are reasonable, she will give you her honest opinion on everything, and she will do everything in a timely manner. Go to her for your alterations so this part of your wedding can be stress free! read more

Aga is absolutely wonderful! My sister went to her for her bridal gown, we recommended Aga to a dear friend for her bridal gown, and then Aga just finished mine! Trust her completely. Aga has amazing attention to detail and will make sure you are satisfied and feel your best in your dress. Plus, she was emotionally supportive and kind to work with throughout the entire alteration process. She is also sensitive to body image concerns and approaches you with empathy. I felt so confident in my dress and I'm so grateful for Aga's talent! Highly recommend! read more

Word of advice, ALWAYS LISTEN TO AGNES! She is truly a great designer. She made the whole wedding dress process easy, and has great advice. My first experience with Agnes was with my wedding dress. She even helped me through the buying process, as I had wanted sleeves with my dress and wanted to be sure that it was possible with various dress designs i was looking at that weren't offered with sleeves. After finding a dress, she designed the bustle for my very, very, very large train and it looked like a fairytale! She made sure I understood the process of putting it up before I committed to the intricacies of it, and it was very intricate (like 36 ties) It was all worth it! And my bustle never failed me the whole night, which made me so happy because I don't think i've been to a wedding where i haven't seen the brides bustle falling apart. Highly recommend! read more

Agnes is literally THE BEST!! I contacted her the day before my wedding with a dress emergency and she saved the day! She was professional, patient, great at understanding what I wanted fixed and executed the vision I had for my dress. She was attentive and very kind.

She literally gave my dress life with her vision and execution to details. Her remarkable talents gave me the confidence I wanted while wearing my wedding dress! Anges was my Fairy Godmother to saving my wedding day! read more

I came to Agadesal by referral from my best friend's seamstress for her wedding. Agnes was nothing short of professional, creative, and always cool and collected. I had several fittings in her studio over the course of 2 months because I kept losing weight, or the dress wouldn't fit right when I would come in for each fitting. Each time my "last fitting" occurred, I had lost more weight and the dress didn't quite fit now. I was panicking that my wedding dress wouldn't look or fit right - especially now that the countdown was getting much too close for comfort b/c I kept changing - and Agnes always gave me options on what we could do to make it more to my "loving" (not just "liking"). She always made me feel comfortable that everything would work out - even while I was panicked. She was honest about what would work with the dress and always frank about what couldn't be done. She helped me change the length of my straps, remove a layer under the dress, she brought part of the front of the dress down, and I had her remove all the beading that covered the dress - changes after changes. And even though it was my fault I kept continually changing, she was always professional and courteous, giving me options so I could indeed love my dress. Never once did I feel like she wouldn't be able to make it. Her prices were very reasonable, and she does suggest steaming the dress to have a crisp, perfect look. I work through the week, and she was very flexible with me to schedule my fittings. Overall, it was awesome to have my wedding dress fitted with Agnes. read more

Agnes at Agadesal is absolutely WONDERFUL to work with, and I would recommend her to anyone needing dress alterations or looking to have custom dresses made. Agnes altered my wedding dress, and the entire experience was top notch. She is quick to respond to emails and calls and is very professional with her business. At my initial dress fitting, one of the things I really appreciated was that Agnes first listened to what I wanted done and then talked me through all of the alteration options (along with costs) so that I felt comfortable with what we were doing. She also recommended a few things that made my wedding dress even better - like a train strap to hold the dress up and a few extra bustle buttons so it laid nicely while I moved around and danced. My wedding dress turned out absolutely PERFECT!! The alteration costs were also very reasonable! I live in the city and the quotes I got here were almost twice as much! But, I have to say my favorite part of working with Agnes is that it's so clear that she really does care about her clients and wants them to be so happy with the final product. Agnes is truly talented at her craft and an absolute pleasure to work with! :) read more
