Joon was so great to work with! She altered my wedding dress and night before cocktail dress. Her work is excellent and her schedule flexibility was super accommodating. Her pricing reflects exactly what was asked - other places expect you to pay flat rate $850 etc. but I didn't need that much work done. (Add Bustle, straps shorted, dress shorted, flower detailing I provided to be added) I would absolutely recommend her and will continue to, so other brides can experience the same level of support. Thank you Joon!!! read more

You will not find a better seamstress, guaranteed!!!!! She is beyond professional, kind, and so so talented. She completely transformed my dress into something off the rack, to something completely custom to my body. This was the best decision I ever made - thank you for making my wedding dress perfect!!!! read more

Joon was absolutely the best person to work on my dress! She was attentive to my needs and wants. I had bought my wedding dress online and had to take in a lot of the shoulders and sleeves. I also added a sash on my waist. We had a total of 3 appointments and she then she made some final tweaks before sending me off and added a pin to my back collar because it was a lil loose with just a regular button. She changed my bra pads to nude as well. All in all, this was money well spent (albeit was a teeny out of my budget in the beginning but given how much work was actually done it was all okay) I am so happy with my dress! She's also super nice, very communicative and everything was smooth. Highly recommend any brides looking for alteration consider this spot ;) read more

I have been going to Ally's Bridal for years for all my alterations needs. She is incredibly talented, awesome to work with, and often a life saver last minute! Most recently, I went for alterations for my rehearsal dinner dress and wedding dress. My rehearsal dinner dress was handmade in Ethiopia using a woven fabric but it ended up being too large and not as structured as I would have preferred. Yoon listened to my concerns of keeping the intricate colored fabric on the sleeves and side body intact and helped me find a solution. She was able to reconstruct the bodice and adjust the fit while keeping the important details. My wedding dress also fit like a glove on my wedding day. Yoon suggested adding a French bustle to the dress that ended up being a lovely addition. Always appreciate a recommendation from someone with so much experience. I've recommended Ally's Bridal to all my friends and family and will continue to do so! read more

Wow. I don't even have words to explain how fantastic ally is and how incredible my experience was. I was a Covid bride and the process was incredibly emotional. Ally was there every step of the way. I came to her 5 weeks before the wedding and she needed to recreate the entire dress. SHE MADE IT INTO THE MOST INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL DRESS. Her precision and attention to detail was flawless. I am a curvier girl and Ally made this dress so incredibly flattering and fit me like a glove. Also, I must address ally's kindness. I hadn't seen my mother in six months because of Covid. She is very high risk and definitely couldn't go to indoor spaces. Ally helped walk me in my dress outside so that my mom could be with me during my fitting. We were sobbing because it was so emotional. Thank you, Ally! read more

Couldn't recommend more!! Went in with a sample dress and didn't quite fit and she helped figure out how to make it fit, and took the time to fix every concern I had. Very patient and took extra time to make sure I was 100% happy. Best experience. read more

I don't really yelp, but I'm so pleased and impressed. I can not say enough about Joon's artistry and skill. She was also the most responsive and efficient at communicating. My dress complicated, I think. All appliques and lace and embroidery. I can't tell you how quickly she can assess what needs to be adjusted to be most flattering to your form. She really listens. Literally, 'I do need to do more squats, but for some reason the dress cuts to make my bum look flat." Fixed. Boom. "The bustle looks bulky." Okay, criss cross, lift, cut. I'm not exaggerating. Her deft handiwork, personal attention, and understanding of dress construction is so cool. It's so nice to have someone that understands how you'd like to feel in your clothes and seems to genuinely want you to. Her energy is so easy and lovely to be around. I had three fittings with her and she nailed it. read more

I had a wonderful alterations experience at Ally's Bridal! Joon is kind, patient, and incredibly skilled. Even with some last minute requests before our October wedding (a very busy time for vendors!), Joon took the time to make sure that every single detail with my dress and veil was exactly how I pictured it, with a smile on her face the whole time. My dress fit like a glove, and I felt so glamorous on the wedding day. As a Jersey City resident, it was an added bonus to be able to do my alterations locally. Thank you Joon! :) read more

If there were more stars, I would certainly give them. I bought my wedding dress in July of 2019, and in March 2020 when the place I bought it from said they were shipping it to me and cancelling all my alterations appointments, I totally panicked. Thank GOD for Ally's Bridal. She saved me. First of all, Ally is a magician. I got my wedding dress fitted for a June 2020 wedding... which ultimate got postponed to June 2021. And through it all I had to get the dress taken in A LOT. It doesn't even look like it was touched. I don't know how she does it. But the quality of her work and the speed is beyond amazing. She's SO nice and accommodating. I probably had a better experience here than I would've at the bridal boutique anyway. I can't say thank you enough. read more

Just have to add an update here because it's two weeks out from my wedding and the top thing everyone is STILL commenting on is my dress. People just could not get over how perfectly it fit me and when I told them how much fabric Ally removed, they truly didn't believe me. HIRE HER!!! read more

Cannot recommend Ally's enough. I have used her services before for a bridesmaid dress and she did an amazing job, so when I was in a pinch this week for another dress , she was my first call. Long story short, I ordered a bridesmaid dress online, and it didn't fit, and by the time I got the right size, it was a week before my brothers wedding. On top of that, my grandmother passed away the same week, so I needed the dress hemmed in three days, because I had the funeral and then the wedding right after that. Not only did Ally turn the dress around in record time (and hemmed perfectly) but she also made me a custom mask out of the leftover material, with a design similar to the bodice of the dress, as a little gift. She was so sweet and empathic, at a time I really needed it. I was already a happy customer from my first experience, but now am a customer for life! read more

Never take a bridal dress there to be altered at allys bridal! My daughter's dress was ruined! The sleeves ripped to shreds during the reception and it wasn't even hem correctly. When we picked it up it wasn't ready to wear! We had to take it to the cleaners for it to be pressed properly.Ally's bridal maybe ok for regular alterations but not the most important dress of your life! Devastating! And I wouldn't give it any stars but I was forced to give it one star in order to post this! read more

I had only a few weeks to get a bridesmaid dress altered (hemmed and straps shortened) and Joon delivered! It's a very quiet and peaceful atmosphere with light piano music in the background. I called to make an appointment ahead of time and received a text reminder which is very convenient. You ring a doorbell when you get there before being let in, so the experience feels very private and comfortable. Overall a super easy, quick experience. read more

Joon is amazing!!! Hands down the best wedding dress tailor in Hoboken. I swear she's a fairy with magical hands. I came in as a walk-in, in a panic about tailoring my dress in a very tight deadline (took an unbelievable amount of time to book a venue and find the dress - 2022 is a record year for weddings!) and Joon didn't blink an eye. She invited me in, did a fitting, and said to come back in 2 weeks for a trial before the final fitting. I bought my dress at a sample sale - size 8...I'm a size 0.....so that's what I mean by her working magic. And the dress has A LOT of embroidery - shoulders, waist, skirt. Im squealing with joy right now. Super nice, really listens to what you're looking for and does great quality work. My mom was so impressed, she wants Joon to tailor her regular dresses (not wedding related). Thank you Joon! read more

Ally was a pleasure to work with when it came to alterations in my gauze, tulle and lace wedding dress by Pronovias. I bought the dress from the flagship store in Manhattan but decided against getting it altered there because of some truly awful reviews on Yelp (multiple brides not having their dress done the day before their wedding!). I'm glad I found Ally. She works with a fixed price, and the price was higher (+$80) than the price the Pronovias flagship quoted, but I decided it was worth it for the peace of mind and the convenience (I live in Hoboken). Now, you may worry about the fact that it was a fixed price, but their really is no need. Ally is a perfectionist. She made changes that she didn't really need to (I wouldn't have noticed unless she pointed them out), but that did make a difference. The biggest was the neckline of my dress. It was a lace, bateaux neckline and she tinkered with it until she got it to lay just right. And you couldn't even tell by looking at the dress that anything had been done to that lace ! read more

I went to Ally for my bridal alterations. I needed significant alterations to the waist and sides of my wedding gown because I am about 4 sizes smaller on top than I am in my hip area. I purchased a gown from David's Bridal and had to get a size 16 to fit my hips. The chest and waist area were obviously way too big. I was worried it was too big of a change for someone to be able to do but Ally was not deterred. She did an amazing job. I went to 3 or 4 fittings in total. I paid a really hefty price tag -- $580 -- and that included every fitting and change she made. In the end, I felt like it was worth it because the dress fit me perfectly. She also suggested adding more tulle to the bottom so the dress would be more bouncy and full and it looked amazing. I'm glad I took that suggestion. One complaint: Ally insisted that I should have a larger cup size to balance out my hips so she added not one up but TWO cups inside the chest area. I shouldn't have listened to her. I only needed one. Having two huge cups made my chest look fuller but it also made the dress sag open when I bent over and when I was saying all my hellos to guests and leaning down to give them hugs at their tables I was SO self conscious of my boob padding showing. Halfway through the reception I got a pair of scissors and cut out the second cup. I felt so much better! read more

Simply put, Ally is an absolute dream. I'm so happy I found her because she worked her magic on my wedding dress. I had three fittings with her and the dress fits like a dream! My dress had many layers that needed hemming and a back strap that needed lengthening. At the end of her alterations, the dress looks absolutely untouched like it was made just in the right size for me. I honest can't sing enough of her praises because she is so so sweet. Her price is also super competitive for the area. If you're in need of wedding dress alterations, there's truly no one better than Ally. read more

I used Ally's Bridal for my wedding dress which I purchased from Jenny Yoo, she did an excellent job with the alterations and the dress fit like a glove. I had multiple fittings, she even turned around the first fitting after drop off in a day because my mom was visiting from out of town. I would recommend for any wedding alterations. read more

Ally was suggested to me by a friend to get alterations. I just brought my dress home, and it is absolutely amazing! It was definitely a lot of work to be done, since I had to go 2 sizes up just for my shoulders, but my body was a completely smaller size, so she had to restructure the whole thing. She added beautiful cap sleeves and bustle. The whole experience was so pleasant, she is so friendly and warm, I could not be happier. Go to her! read more

I had the best experience at Ally's. My wedding dress needed some major alterations. Ally put matching straps on my wedding dress, added some boning to keep it for gathering in the waist/mid area and my bustle was perfect. I had to take out my dress last minute and she was very accommodating. She was wonderful to work with and I always looked forwArd to my appointments. I got more than I asked for! Great experience and worth every penny. read more

Getting my wedding dressed altered at Ally's was an amazing experience! She is so caring and strives for perfection. I bought my dress off the rack right before COVID, and it was many, many sizes too big. I was told it was an easy alteration when I bought it, but it turns out a lot of work was required to make the dress fit! Ally brought up the waist, sized down the bodice, adjusted the V-neck, etc. The entire process was seamless, and in the end, the dress looked like it was made for me!!! read more

I just picked up my wedding dress and I'm beyond happy with my experience. I thought the dress fit pretty well as-is, but Ally has the most amazing attention to details. She worked magic and I was able to pick up my dress on the 3rd visit. She also gave me exact instructions on how I should put on the dress to make sure it was going to look perfect. The whole experience was so easy - I'm not surprised thought. Ally also altered a 2-size-too-big bridesmaid dress for me last year. I wish she worked on all clothes, I would bring my whole closet! read more

Ally is wonderful to work with. She is kind, attentive and accommodating. She helped bustle my rehearsal dinner dress and completed the alterations for one of my bridesmaids back in February. She recently helped me figure out my wedding gown bustle, and was able to squeeze me in without much notice. I highly recommend Ally's Bridal! read more

Ally is fantastic! I bought my Ysa Makino gown at another shop and researched extensively for a skilled seamstress, as my gown included a silk overlay covered in beading from head to toe. Typically these type of dresses cost an extraordinary amount to alter, given the extensive beadwork that must be reworked after alterations. I was nervous this would nearly double the already hefty cost I paid for the gown, but Ally was an expert and reasonable in terms of cost for the supreme amount of craftsmanship that was required. She was calm and measured and was able to put me at ease throughout the entire process, and also helped me in selecting appropriate undergarments and tailored my mink wrap as well. Given the weight of the gown, I was nervous that a bustle would be a challenge, but she expertly draped this so gorgoeusly that I can't wait to get to my reception so I can show off her masterful handiwork! CANNOT recommend Ally enough to brides and bridesmaids- she is a class act and A+ all around-there's nothing she can't do! I only wish she could be my personal seamstress for my entire wardrobe! read more

I don't have words to explain how AMAZING Ally's Bridal is. Joon (the seamstress) is SO incredibly skilled, SO PATIENT, and she's very kind and nice. She takes the time to listen to your concerns and will double check everything to the last detail. I had to make so many changes to my dress and she made as many changes necessary to make it perfect until I was 100% satisfied. I lost some weight after I took my dress home so I went back to Ally's 2 days before leaving for my wedding (in complete panic) to re-adjust the strap and she did it immediately and it was perfect. 100% recommended, do not hesitate to go! read more

Ally is an angel! Seriously. I absolutely loved my wedding dress as I bought it, but definitely thought it could use some extra things to make it perfect. In addition to closing up the front of the dress because it was a little too open for me, she also added a bra to the sheer top which was pretty much undetectable under the dress. On top of all that, Ally also made a custom skirt for the dress since I wanted the skirt to be a little less white. She found the most perfect color - an almost white champagne color organza with the most subtle sparkle/shimmer that went with the dress perfectly. Not only did she add the skirt seamlessly, she also added a slit, added beading around the seam, and hemmed it to perfection. I can't say enough amazing things about Ally. She was patient, understanding, and her attention to detail was impeccable. Thank you, Ally!!! read more

I wish I had known about Ally's Bridal sooner. I went here during Covid to get a bridesmaid dress altered and cannot say enough positive things about my experience. Most importantly, I always felt extremely safe during my visits. I've had other dresses altered at local cleaners with unsatisfactory results and expensive rates. At Ally's, my dress was perfectly tailored within two weeks and the rates were very reasonable. In addition, they created a mask out of my extra dress material as a sweet surprise! It's been a huge hit and the bride is thrilled. Highly recommend. read more

Joon did an absolutely amazing job with my wedding dress. The dress I bought was at least two sizes too large and she recreated it to be perfectly tailored to my body. I appreciated how she worked incrementally to not make any drastic changes. She also made a tulle cape to match since I wasn't able to wear a veil. Highly recommend Allys Bridal. read more

Extremely clean and cautious, especially during COVID! Ally is perfect for the shy/low key bride. She made me feel very comfortable throughout the entire process. She gave me suggestions and respected when I did not want them. When I did take them, she did a great job with execution. She created a train for my dress and took care to fit my petite frame. Reasonable pricing. I was able to have 4 fittings, every 2 weeks. I suggest calling in advance to book an appointment due to the pandemic. Already recommended her to someone I know! read more
