Check out the 1 before pic then the after pics. Thuy is SIMPLY AMAZING!!! We absolutely adore her & only go to her for tailoring! Without a doubt, Thuy is THE BEST & will not disappoint!

Their professionalism and skill was borderline intimidating (in a good way). And I don't mean to imply they weren't warm; quite the opposite! I left each fitting glowing with confidence from their compliments and encouragement. As far as the work product is concerned, I was blown away. From fitting one to the final fitting, this dress was transformed. And it wasn't particularly easy -- my dress had tricky lace at the bottom that had to be hemmed without creating an ugly line. They did a gorgeous job of working around the design in a way that I actually think enhanced it overall. They showed me how to bustle the dress and let me take videos. They took a hundred photos for me. And again, the fit was perfection. In short -- get your alterations done here! You won't regret it.

I didn't think my dress needed too many adjustments at first, but looking back it was at least a size too big for me (see before pic included with this review). I was a little worried that the dress style I picked could look too nightgown-ish, but with Beam's changes it fit perfectly and looked polished and glamorous. I couldn't stop smiling at our second fitting when I saw and felt how much better it fit my body. She even made the bust work with my itty bitties (iykyk) by taking out extra fabric, remaking the shoulders, and adding the proper sized cups so I didn't even need to wear a bra. Her work is meticulous and the final product was gorgeous. She also gave me a recommendation to a quality dry-cleaner, as I bought my dress used and it had a few marks on it. She provided an itemized estimate at our first meeting and gave me the option to add additional changes later after I had time to decide whether I wanted them without pressure. She even texted me pictures of what two different types of bustles would look like on my actual dress so I could make an informed decision. Beam is talented and very sweet. She communicated clearly about her availability and always kept her appointments. I felt confident and glamorous on my wedding day, and got many compliments on my dress. I'm very happy I picked her as my wedding tailor, and I recommend her and Sunrise Couture Alterations wholeheartedly.

One thing to keep in mind is that this is a small, family-run business, not a big alteration shop. The women here, including the grandmother who is still working, put so much care into every garment.

They also carry beautiful Vietnamese traditional dresses, wedding attire, skincare products, and other specialty items.

I called months in advanced for a minor wedding dress alteration and made an appointment with Judy. So far so good. The first appointment rolls around, I show up and she's surprised to see me. No big deal, the fitting went fine and sometimes I forget things too. We do the fitting and set an appointment for the second fitting for about a month out. Still gravy. Second appointment rolls around. Again, she's surprised to see me. She searches around and pulls out my dress that she HASN'T STARTED. Then proceeded to make a lot of excuses about her sick grandkid and never apologised. Also starts complaining about another bride who has had 5 fittings. Tacky and unprofessional. I'm frantic at this point and try to call other alteration places, but they're booked and I'm SOL. I reminded her of what we agreed on and that the dress was supposed to be finished in a week. She refits me just as the first meeting and promises to be done in a week. Lumpy gravy at this point. Third appointment and she's finally not surprised and actually worked on my dress. She's talking herself up a storm about the great work she did. (took in the cups and hemmed the dress that was tulle-aka cut with scissors. I guess that's worth bragging about?) Dress fits, I'm annoyed but that's life and I want to leave with my dress. Now there fun part, she wants to charge more than double her first estimate because she said it was "harder and rush job". Jaw on the floor. I explained to her that it was her fault it was a rush job. She had a ton of heads up from when I made the appointment and over a month after our first fitting. And was proud of my non-confrontational self for sticking up for myself and did not do that. Burnt heavy covered in poo at this point. As for the quality, the cup alteration was fine. The hem has a hack job. Jagged and she claimed it was "so hard" to do. It's tulle so luckily that hides well and no one noticed. But lady, stop the BS and excuses. TLDR; Are you looking for someone who is unreliable, disorganized, poorly skilled (I'm assuming this since she talked herself up so much when it came to simply cutting tulle), unable to adhere to timelines, and makes all the excuses ever? Judy's your girl.
