I had the most amazing experience working with Annette to tailor my wedding dress. She was kind, professional, experienced, and did an amazing job! After another tailor in Austin ruined my first dress, I rushed to Dallas to find a dress designer or tailor who could fix it. Unfortunately it was too far gone. I repurchased the same dress 1 week before my wedding day. I was turned away from several tailors who said they could not alter it in time. Thankfully someone recommended Annette to me, so I called her hysterical, crying and begging for her help. She had such a calming presence that I so desperately needed after my previous experience. I left her shop feeling confident that my dress would be altered correctly. She finished the alterations in THREE DAYS and it fit like a glove. I will be forever grateful to Annette for the work she did but also the support she provided during a traumatic time. If I lived in Dallas, she'd have a customer for life! Thank you, Annette! read more

BestFit Alterations1 - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Annette is truly the best and a complete professional. Scheduling appointments was so easy, and she was always so accommodating, even fitting me in for a few last-minute visits to ensure my dress was perfect. She went above and beyond, creating a custom tulle wrap to match my veil that turned out exactly as I had imagined. When the wedding nerves started to hit, Annette was so kind and reassuring -- she made sure I was completely happy with the way my dress fit and I picked it up perfectly steamed and ready to wear. Having a wedding gown that fit flawlessly was one of the things I worried about most, but Annette made the entire process seamless and stress-free. Thanks to her, I felt comfortable and confident on my wedding day. I truly can't recommend her enough! read more

I wanted to give no stars but not able to. Awful. Stay away She is so rude and not a very good seamstress. She almost ruined my daughter's wedding. read more

I have been hesitant to write for years but want to convey the negative comments here add up and are exactly what was experienced by my daughter with negative body comments. She was very unprofessional and her unkind words left my daughter not feeling confident when she told her she should never have chosen the style dress for her body type. We retrieved the dress and found a much more professional seamstress who tailored my daughter's dress beautifully at half the price. read more

Annette took my off-the-rack-way-too-big wedding dress and made a literal MASTERPIECE. She was so timely and so trustworthy. I never once worried about the dress being ready or too difficult to fix. She is a miracle worker! Also a great price for the work that she put in. So thankful! read more

Annette is amazing. I visited a few tailors for my dress and ultimately chose Annette because she was so personal and had the best solves for making my dream dress a reality. I am tall and had a bought a sample dress which needed a bit of length for my shoes, Annette steamed my dress to add an additional 2 inches in length, while all other tailors suggesting adding lace to the bottom. I am also in the process of moving international prior to my wedding and Annette worked with me on tight timelines and additional visits to ensure I had the perfect dress before I left. 5 stars for Annette! TrusYou'll be in good hands. read more

I called Annette in hopes that she'd be able to help me with a time crunch bridesmaids dress situation. I went in and she accommodated me with time to spare, did beautiful work, and was a joy to talk to. I highly recommend BestFit! read more

This seamstress was recommended to me by Patsy's Bridal. I had a bit of a timing issue with family coming into town and my appointment time but Annette was super accommodating. I walked in and she knew exactly what to do with my dress. I am more than confident that Annette will alter my dress to fit perfectly. read more

Truly the worst experience I could have imagined as a bride. I actually waited months to post this review to make sure I wasn't being rash or emotional. I am not - this is poor craftsmanship and she is not professional. I went to Annette because my sister used her for wedding alterations and was happy. Unfortunately my experience was far from pleasant. Annette was rude, responded days to weeks after I contacted her for my initial appointment, follow ups, etc. and didn't do the work she promised. She was extremely disrespectful and rude. She made disrespectful comments about my body which no one wants when trying on a wedding dress. While I was in the middle of a fitting a woman from a local bridal shop (actually the one where I bought my dress) came in and she immediately switched her persona to be bright and cheery. I wish this had been my experience as well but she went right back to being rude as soon as the woman left. I had to make multiple unplanned visits to have some basic mesh added because she "forgot" to do it in between original appointments - even though that was the only thing I needed her to do. She also failed to sew in my monogram as I asked her to do on multiple occasions. This resulted in me not having it sewn in on my wedding day. My alterations we so minimal and she couldn't even get that right. I had puckering that should never have been in the fabric for what I paid for her services. I would not recommend her to anyone. read more

Annette did my alterations for my sisters bridesmaid dress & did an amazing job! Fit like a glove. I plan to use her for my alterations for my wedding dress this fall!! read more

BestFit Alterations1 - Dress on the RIGHT - tons of beading & couldn't tell I had it fitted!! - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Dallas, Texas

I had an absolutely wonderful experience here! I called several Dallas bridal alterations locations, and none of them compared to the timeliness or price that Annette could offer. She was able to squeeze me in the same week I called. The experience in-store is great. It is totally private, and you get buzzed in during your appointment time. I never had to wait! She had my dress done weeks in advance of when I needed it. She worked me in the following week to try it on and make sure it looked great. It fit perfectly, and on top of that, it was SO affordable! I have already recommended BestFit to several friends and would definitely return if I ever needed any other bridesmaid alterations! read more

I have had an awesome experience with BestFit Alterations for my wedding dress. Annette has been absolutely fantastic. She is extremely knowledgeable and meticulous in her work. She is has been doing this for many years and it shows. Her prices are fair and she worked within a shorter timeframe for me to make sure my dress was done before my bridals. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a great quality and professional alterations place. read more

I hesitated leaving a review but after several weeks I am still sad about my experience and I'd like to let other brides know so they can make a different decision. Annette made multiple unkind comments about my body throughout this process. During the initial call she asked for my size and when i told her she said, "are you going to lose weight?" ... do you ask all your brides that? When I came to pick up my dress, she seemed to have forgotten about our pick-up time and even had forgotten who I was (it was my third time there). I reminded her of my name and she went to get my dress and said "you don't need to try it on. Do you have your veil so I can steam it?" I did and I handed it to her. It is a cathedral veil, so it's very long. She gave me grief and asked why hadn't I given it to her at previous appointments (I had brought it every appointment. She never asked.) and said "I'll see if I can make a miracle happen between appointments. You may have to wait a bit." As if I wasn't one of her appointments... so I told her "no problem, I'll go to the donut shop next door" to buy some time and grab her something and before I could get out another word she told me "you should not be eating donuts or you won't fit into your dress." I said "I was going to ask if you'd like one..." she replied "no. I don't want anything." The top of my dress was big and I asked her if she could tighten it. She said I would have to use tape. I'm paying $500, and you're telling me I need to tape my dress to my skin? I was supposed to have her steam my dress again after my bridal portraits but I didn't go back because I had left in tears at the last appointment. I steamed it myself. I would not recommend her. Find someone another seamstress who is positive and uplifting and KIND. Getting your dress fitted should be a wonderful experience. read more

I am so beyond lucky that the place I got my dress from couldn't schedule me in for alterations. I was so scared at first but I found Annette and she was a Godsend. By the time I got ahold of her she was already fitting people who had my wedding date so even though we would be on a tight timeline she still took me in. She's so extremely talented at her craft and was so great to work with. She saved my entire day honestly. She did so much more than I would've imagined and made my dress fit perfectly - she made me feel beautiful on my wedding day! I am so thankful that somehow I found her. If you're looking for someone who is trust worthy, fair, and extremely talented in this realm Annette is your girl! read more

BestFit Alterations1 - Annette took a heart-shaped cutting from the Dallas Cowboy t-shirt worn by my DIL’s late father and stitched it on the underside of her gown - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Dallas, Texas

She is a miracle worker! I can't thank you enough for saving my wedding dress!!! To all the brides in Dallas, if you need alterations to your gown, this is the place to go! I had the unfortunate circumstance of having my wedding gown custom made overseas. It arrived to the U.S. late and ill-fitting. I had less than a week to find someone to fix my dress. Ms. Annette saved my dress and had it ready early! AND her price saved my budget!!!! read more

My dress came back filthy! My daughters train wasn't put on as she wanted it to be and when i got there, my other dress was not even done. I have no idea what happened but my wedding is in two days and I am having to have them fixed by someone else. I do not recommend this place. read more

If you don't want to read this whole thing skip to my summary. Annette saved me. I went somewhere else to get my wedding dress altered, it cost a fortune, I had been recommended the other place as the best place to get Berta dresses altered. Boy was that wrong! Fast forward 4 months, I went in to other said place for my fitting I left upset my dress didn't fit me at all. It bunched terribly around my stomach. With less than a week until I left for my destination wedding someone encouraged me to get a second opinion. I found Annette on yelp. Friday morning I showed up with my mom as she opened- I was in a panic. Not only did Annette let me try on my dress for my second opinion, she insisted on fixing it overnight so I didn't have to move a single appointment and I could leave on time for my wedding 36 hours later. Annette is so sweet, so kind, and talented, and my dress now fits perfectly. Summary: go nowhere else to get your wedding dress altered and give yourself at least two months to get it altered. Three if you have a ton to change, but only see Annette!!!!! read more

Annette did an impeccable job on my wedding dress!! My dress was about three sizes too big, but when she was finished it fit like a glove! I loved my dress when I first found it, but had no idea it could look like it was custom made for my body. She genuinely cares about what she does and she's incredibly talented at her craft! Annette was so pleasant to work with, she competed my dress when she said she would and she was very professional. I can't imagine a better experience!! Thank you Annette for helping make my wedding day so very perfect!! Annette really is the best!!!! read more

Annette is a miracle worker. I fell in love with my dress in the salon but it needed a lot of work to make the fit just right. I'm larger in the bust area than I am anywhere else, so it was decided that I would order my dress 3 sizes too big so that there was enough fabric for Annette to make the necessary alterations around the bust. What she ended up doing was essentially remaking the dress. She listened to every concern I had, she was meticulous in her pinning and fitting, and her calm demeaner didn't leave any room for stress or worry. I have no idea how she could look at what the dress was and see what it should be, but she did. She is a master at her craft and on my final fitting, when the dress fit exactly how it was supposed to, all we could do was praise her genius. Seriously, choose Annette. She's the best. read more
