Beatrice did an AMAZING job altering my dress! I ordered my dress online for my COVID micro wedding and it came in WAY too tight. I called Beatrice less than a month before my wedding and she was able to let out the dress and make it look absolutely perfect for my day. She saw me weekly for fittings at times that were convenient for me- she was incredible! Thank you Beatrice!

Beatrice was absolutely amazing to work with! A friend suggested I take my dress to her for alterations and I'm so glad I did! She was welcoming and friendly from day one when I called to set up my consultation. My bridesmaid dress turned out perfectly and just how I had envisioned it! Beatrice knew exactly what she was doing to make the dress more fitting for me. She was very honest throughout the entire process and prompt for each appointment. I'll definitely be going back to her in the future! She also showed me some of the custom veils she handmade/hand stitched -- they were stunning! If you're in need of alterations or a customized veil, I suggest calling Beatrice!

Myself and the stunning bride on the big day.

Beatrice was so friendly and easy to work with. My bridesmaid dress was way too long and just a bit tight. They were ordered from a small online boutique and no store to try them on. Beatrice and I discussed multiple options. She was upfront about cost for anything we talked about. We ended up going a middle option of adjusting the length and the top. Expanding the waist was just too much work and cost. I really appreciated our thorough consultation. I picked Beatrice's shop because of the very delicate material and all of her reviews around specializing in bridal materials and alterations. I knew it may be a bit pricier to go that route, but I was willing to pay a bit more to make sure it was a good fit. I couldn't have been happier with the results. The length was perfection, and the top adjustments made me so much more comfortable and confident in the dress. Thanks so much! Picture of myself and the bride added as well. :)

Beatrice SAVED my wedding dress! And not a moment to soon! I decided to wear my mother's wedding dress as a tribute to my sweet mom. I went to another dress shop to have the dress "modernized"-the idea was to have the 80's sleeves and neckline modified. Long story short, my mother's wedding dress was BOTCHED! I was heartbroken! I couldn't tell my mom, knowing it would upset her! This was supposed to be a very special bond for us. I got my dress back from the first woman who worked on it within only two weeks until my wedding. I found Beatrice online and called her in a panic. She got me in for an appointment THE DAY I called. She literally held me as I cried in my mother's dress. Beatrice works miracles!!!!! She completely reconstructed the bodice (added boning), redid the sleeves (I don't even know how as the lace was very delicate and intricate), fixed EVERY hem, EVERY stitch out of place, and fitted it to my body LIKE A GLOVE! She surprised me with a few extra finishes and I think she was almost more excited than I was by the end result! I got my dress the day we left for Oregon and I know she did a lot to squeeze me in for those two weeks. I felt like a princess on my wedding day! And to have Mama zip me up in the dress she wore when she married my dad 35 years was really special. I thought of Beatrice in that moment. I can never thank her enough for her dedication. Beatrice is basically a mad scientist (but brilliant) when it comes to dresses. She's zany and fun, and you can tell she is the absolute best at what she does by her attention to detail. Always confirm appointments with her. She is a busy lady. But she is sincere and passionate in her work. I wish I had known about her before I took my dress to anyone else. In the end, I paid Beatrice the exact same amount as what I paid the woman who botched my dress the first time. I felt her pricing was on point-especially with her level of expertise. If you are reading this review, save yourself the headache and call Beatrice!

just now Beatrice is amazing. She hemmed all 7 layers of my wedding dress did a beautiful job with the lace and fixed the sleeves for me. She was very sweet and honest.

A month out from my wedding, I went to Beatrice. My first wedding dress had come in from Etsy and just looked absolutely terrible so she helped take my measurements so I could purchase a second one. The cost of my measurements was $50, but if I were to get my dress altered from her, it would be applied toward the alteration. When my 2nd dress came in, this time purchased through BHLDN, it was absolutely stunning but it had a lot of work that needed to be done. First, there was an excessive about of fabric on the bottom of the dress that needed to be hemmed. Second, I was losing weight so it needed to be taken in quite a bit. Third, because of the alterations, all of the beading needed to be delicately put back into place. Unfortunately, I didn't have the time to shop around for a more affordable seamstress. Beatrice is expensive but she does great work, is really personable and available. The overall cost to have my dress altered was $800. My dress was a $600 dress, so after alterations it ended up being a $1400 dress. I had a DIY wedding that cost less than $10k, so we were able to splurge on making sure the dress was absolutely stunning and I believe it was completely worth it. If you have the time to shop around before your wedding, definitely do, but don't pick a place because of the price tag. Keep in mind the work that has to be done on your dress and make sure that whoever you choose does quality work. This is your day and you should look absolutely fabulous.

Beatrice was the best to work with. I had an extremely delicate dress and Beatrice altered it flawlessly. I had ordered my dream dress from BHLDN and when it arrived it was too big and needed some altering. With about 4 months to go I contacted Beatrice after some extensive research which concluded she was one of the top options for brides with consistent results. After a consultation and 3 sessions my dress was perfectly tailored to my body. By my fourth visit my dream dress had come to life. The only down side for me was coming from downtown but I was able to schedule appointments around traffic which worked out great. I was a bride on a budget and Beatrice was up front about all charges, reasonably priced and was well worth the result. I would recommend Beatrice to every soon to be bride I know.

Beatrice was great to work with and I really enjoyed getting to know her. She takes her time and makes sure you are happy with everything.

I highly recommend Beatrice for any alterations needed. She was really attentive, and spent over 2 hours with me for a consultation. She fixed my mother's veil into a new beautiful creation. I cannot thank her enough.

Beatrice does amazing work and made my wedding gown exactly how I imagined and made it reality. She is so talented!!! Her work speaks for itself! I found her online and looked at the reviews and the reviews don't lie!

She actually made his wifes wedding dress so my attempt to get and unbiased opinion was void and nil so I took it into my own hands ! I wanted a full refund of the deposit I gave of $450.00 for the $700.00 dress ,anyone reading this for the first time and seeing the pictures would understand ! The tailor ( I will not say his name ) but he sews custom for very influential customers . I know him because he had made suits for my husband . He and his wife are honest to the core . The lawyer offered me $25.00 , I refused but it was an appropriate amount, that is all it was worth ! He mailed the dress back to me in a FedEx box and I left it there until 2 weeks ago ! My husband was considering a new suit so he went to have a consult ! I took the opportunity to go with him and show the owners wife the dress .

She is so knowledgeable and really got my attention when she said "textiles are my drug of choice". I knew immediately this was the woman I wanted to make my gown, and man, did she?! The ENTIRE experience was absolutely amazing. She did sketches, showed me fabrics and even had one of her connects make the fabric for my skirt as a one of a kind.. hell, the entire ensemble was one of a kind! The beading for the top was so intricate and was hand made to specifically fit my body! I actually have the gown on a mannequin stand in my vanity room so I could see it every day and I ended up using it in my upcoming (then) wedding! Yes, it was that great! I designed my wedding around it! AND she had a jewelry artist design a piece for my hair TO COMPLIMENT THE DRESS!!!! It was so perfect and I can't go on enough about my experience! Thank you Linda for being the bad ass that you are and I can't wait to make something else special with you!!!

I was in shear panic mode...here it was the end of May and my wedding was the first week of August. I had lost weight quickly before since I have a tiny frame, but then panic was real. They recommend that I call Kira and LUCKILY she was able to fit me in!! If you can I would make your appointment with her as soon as you order your dress and have a round about time when it should arrive. My friend tried to book with her a few days after me and she was already filled up, and trust me you want her to work on your dress! The first appointment I went to with her was two weeks after my dress had arrived, and I had worked my butt off dieting and working out. We almost got it to zip, so there was hope! We discussed many options though including adding a corset (which I didn't want to do at all) and she assured me after looking that should could let it out at least an inch or two if needed. She told me to keep doing what I was doing as she could see the difference and I continued to work hard. She was so kind and helpful when it came to talking about my options and my EXTREMELY tight deadline. We scheduled another appointment four weeks later, and luckily the dress zipped up! My dress was ordered custom length due to my extreme shortness so luckily with my shoes I didn't need my hemline done. My bustle was something I was concerned with with my dress have a lace train. She was so patient and walked me through so many options and we finally found that was easy and looked great! At my final fitting I asked if she could let it out slightly so I could breathe, and she was able to give me about 3/4 of an inch so the dress still hugged my curves perfectly, but I was able to breathe in it and be comfortable all night. Her work was seamless and no one would have ever know that my dress had been let out! I would highly recommend her to anyone, because she can work wonders! She was so patient and sweet and wonderful to me, during what could be an extremely stressful ordeal. Honestly I am so glad I didn't bring any girlfriends or my mom to my fitting because she was so perfect and calming and honest about my dress! TRUST ME! JUST TRUST HER! She knows exactly what she is doing and won't point you in the wrong direction! Also I was expecting to spend so much on my alterations and my cost was not nearly that bad for what I had budgeted. However just keep in mind I did not need my dress hemmed. I highly recommend her!

Unfortunately when I called her she was booked but she referred me to Kira. Kira was a dream to work with from the beginning. I had 4 (I think) fittings and they were all so quick and easy. Her shop is adorable, I loved going to visit her. I lost quite a bit of weight after the first fitting (which is usually the biggest one) and when I went to try it on for the second fitting it almost fell off of me. Kira didn't panic and was able to fix it. The week of the wedding I went to try it on one last time and the chest area was not fitting right at all. I panicked naturally since I had to leave the very next day ... Kira was calm and collected and assured me it would all be fine. She was right. My dress fit me like a glove and I loved every second I spent in it. Thank you Kira for making my dreams come true!

Scheduling was super easy (online or phone call) and when I arrived for my first appointment to check out styles, pricing, and the color scheme our friend (the bride) wanted I was taken care of. I was super happy to have my own associate who was able to pull dresses for me, make suggestions, and even follow up after I tried on a few with great questions such as when I needed the dress by, what was my budget, etc. Our friends dress fitting (she was the bride) was also enjoyable and painless. All of us bridesmaids were really happy to have a space and have the staff here supporting our friend with looks and size recommendations. Once our friend picked her final dress the staff really made it special by giving us signs to use in our pictures and congratulating us all on such a monumental and special moment of dress picking. The alterations process was simple and I was comfortable with the amount of detail and the attention I received during my appointment. I had so many compliments, at the wedding, on my bridesmaids dress with comments about "oh wow your dress is perfect on you!" which I appreciated. I would highly recommend coming here for any alterations and any dress buying for any special occasion. The staff here was fantastic and really focused on my needs and timeline.
