    The Befitted mother-daughter duo are AMAZING. I had a wedding dress crisis (original dress had manufacturing defect, back-up dress order was cancelled, got 3rd option dress just 4 weeks before leaving for my wedding) and they were super responsive and fit me in very last minute. Not only did they do a perfect job on the alterations requested, they also suggested a few alterations that made the dress easier to wear on the day of. They are really friendly, sweet, and happy to share tips and tricks they've learned in years of doing this. I can't recommend them enough - they saved my wedding!

    Great experience at BeFitted Tailoring and with Michelle and Diane! I came here to get some minor adjustments to my wedding dress and honestly was a bit late to the game! Still, they accommodated me. Michelle was very warm and professional - always communicated in a timely manner. I even bugged her a few times about which undergarments to wear :) Although I had only minor adjustments to my wedding dress, I had a great experience overall and always great to support a local, women-owned business! Thank you!

    TLDR; mom and daughter shop located in Old Town Alexandria. Very nice and helpful! Quick and easy with a fast turn around time! I brought in my maid of honor dress pretty last minute as I procrastinated trying it on. The dress fit fairly well, however it was very low cut and there was too much cleavage. The material is pretty delicate so I wasn't sure if anything could be done. The shop is cutely decorated and clean. They are taking all the COVID precautions and have you wash your hands when you arrive and also wear a mask. They were very skillful and we came up with a solution for my dress problem. I would highly recommend this place! The price was reasonable and I was able to get an appointment in pretty quick.

    I cannot say enough great things about working with BeFitted Tailoring Co. Diane and Michelle were absolute gems to work with. My Berta wedding gown looked great on purchase, but beyond amazing once these two were finished with it. I was worried when I brought in the gown because I knew the amount of work it would require; in between all of the delicate lace and beading, the extensive train, and the major hemming required (due to my height), I knew it would be a large project. This was the best duo to work with and you could not be in better hands!! I will definitely be recommending them to all of my friends getting married in the future!

    I had a wonderful experience with BeFitted. My wedding dress fit like a glove, and they also suggested adding a cape (I'm not a vail type of gal) and it was gorgeous!

    See all

    I am a 6'1.5" BBW that has a wedding to go to in August I need help getting two dresses created that I've found online.do you think you'd be able to help me?

    Hi there! Unfortunately, we do not make custom clothing or sell any dresses in our alterations studio. There are some other great local places that may be able to help! :) Congratulations on the wedding!

    What is the average/range cost for wedding dress alterations?

    My dress was about $350, with a hem, strap adjustment, adherence of a belt, and addition of a bustle. They are absolutely amazing and attentive - highly recommend.

    I would not recommend Dash's to anyone. My experience has been disorganized, dishonest,…read morediscriminatory, and unprofessional. I was initially sized for a custom tux shirt early June 2024 for my wedding on July 26, 2024. I paid $300 for the shirt. The shirt was not ready until August 8 and the shirt did not fit correctly. I knew there was a chance the shirt wouldn't be ready in time, however, I was told by Dash's that it was possible. I ended up purchasing a shirt from Brooks Brothers for my wedding that fit perfectly without any alterations needed. There was a major issue with the upper button/section of the shirt that you wouldn't expect from a custom shirt. I took the shirt back to Dash's on October 12 and the owner Victor assured me that they would get it fixed. On November 2, I returned to the store after being told the shirt was ready. When I arrived at the store, Victor told me there was a mistake and the shirt wasn't ready. He said they would have to send it back to the manufacturer. I did not hear back from the store until January 8, 2025 - in which I received a text letting me know that the shirt was ready and that they've been trying to get in contact with me. Prior to this, I never received a call or text with an update. Nonetheless, I proceeded to go back to the store to pickup the shirt, only for Victor to tell me it wasn't ready. He told me that there's a piece he was looking for on amazon and other sites that he couldn't find. He went on to ask me to look for that piece as well. Then he alluded to my height as being an issue. Mind you, Victor is an inch taller than me. Not only that, it was a custom shirt. So that's a poor excuse. At this point, I am frustrated because I paid $300 for a custom shirt that wasn't done correctly. Till this day, I have yet to receive the shirt. I've requested a refund and Victor refuses to give me one. His reasoning - "they are a small business." There has been no attempt to make things right by resizing for a shirt, or offering me anything to make up for the mishap. I've attached two pictures showing the issue with the shirt.

    If you value customer service or your time, money, and energy, avoid this place. I made an…read moreappointment and got an initial fitting in early February, paid, and was told by Victor that it would be ready in 6-8 weeks tops (mid March to early April). I called in late March since I hadn't heard anything yet, and he said to call back next week. I called a week later and was told it's not in yet but should be by April 15th. I called again on April 12th and he said "rest assured it will ship from Italy by April 18th." I was leaving for my wedding on April 23rd, and when I relayed my concerns he started yelling at me over the phone saying I don't know what he has to deal with, he "has to work with Italians," and said he has no control over it, then said it "wasn't my issue" which it certainly is. He rarely got my name right, he would call me by the wrong name often and even when I told him he would come back ON THE SAME PHONE CALL with someone else's order info. Incredibly unprofessional, rude, inconsistent, and all around a bad business. It's a wonder he's still in business. You can get this quality suit anywhere, you're paying more here for customer service and the personal touch. Save your money and go to a name-brand chain. Only reason this isn't one star is because I did end up getting the suit the day before I left for the wedding. If I hadn't called repeatedly, I doubt I would have it. Not once was I called first from Dash's about the suit I purchased. Not worth the hassle and headache.

Mani and his whole team went above and beyond to get us ready for this wedding on a tight timeline. Everyone was so skilled and helpful.

Mani was even able to get a second vest done for me last minute when another shop dropped the ball. I don't think I've ever received so many compliments on my clothes!

I asked for a refund even though I was only advised of the no refund policy after purchasing the suit. He breached the contract. I asked where in the store is the policy displayed in plain sight? He walked one to the register and pulled from under some clothes! I gave him a chance to fix the issues with suit and it still came out horrible. Don't waste your time or money at this store. I'll be taking him to court!!!
