I found Sofia initially on Yelp. I had about a month-ish to get my dress altered. We had 4 appointments to get my dress completed, step by step. She was super easy to work with, had my dress completed in time, and had no complaints of the process or end outcome. Would highly recommend her for her services, especially if your looking for someone nice, easy to work with, and not pushy. read more

Would not go to anyone else! Sophia has a eye for detail and has perfected my dream dress! She makes you feel welcome and her work is WONDERFUL! Will post pics after my wedding day! read more

Sofia was an amazing seamstress to work with. She was prompt, meticulous, supportive and informative - not to mention reasonably priced. My dress had many layers and it was a job well done considering the intricacy of my dresses design. I will continue leaning to Sofia for future alteration support and certainly recommend you utilize her divine skill set as well! read more

Excellent work! She is kind, paid close attention to detail and did EXACTLY what my daughter requested. My daughter was extremely pleased with the outcome and felt like a princess. I highly recommend Bridal Couture Alterations. read more

I couldn't even imagine my wedding preparations without Sofia. Not only is she a ray of light, she is the most talented seamstress I could have asked for! The dress that I fell in love with was quite out of my original price range and I wasn't going to trust just anyone with my alterations. The minute I met Sofia and the work she demonstrated, I was 100% confident to trust her with my couture dress. Sofia and I met week over week until the bustle and hemming were absolutely perfect. She is a perfectionist, and the detailed work that she did speaks for itself. My dress had its challenges with how well it was made. She was able to worked through anything she came across in the different layers and lace, and did so with positivity and confidence that it would turn out perfect.. and it did! She's amazing! Not only did she alter my dress perfectly, at a fair price, and with plenty of time..she also quickly hemmed up my welcome dinner dress that I found a week before my destination wedding. Trust me and trust Sofia, she won't let you down and you will feel like a princess on your wedding day! read more

Sofia is AMAZING! Professional, knowledgable, understanding, the list could go on. She is truly a expert when it comes to altering any type of fabric to any body type. She altered my Alfred Angelo Sapphire dress (which they ordered two sizes too big) and she had no problem taking it in 6" even when I was on a very tight time schedule before the big day. Sofia was able to have my dress ready perfectly within 2-3 weeks. I strongly recommend her work to anyone who is looking for exceptional quality work in a timely manner at a great price! read more

Sofia was recommended to me by my neighbor. When I called her, I was a little panicked for time (I thought), but Sofia was so accommodating and kind, everything worked out perfectly. I had her add straps to my dress, hem it (removing the train), adjust the size, and so much more. She was very easy to work with, and her attention to detail is amazing. Plus her pricing is very fair! I definitely recommend her! read more

Sofia provided exceptional service from start to finish. Sofia was able to do my wedding dress in a short turnaround and even allowed me to pick it up on a Saturday evening. She was supportive during a stressful process and offered her expertise when deciding what alterations to make. The dress and veil came back perfectly! Highly recommend Sofia. read more

Sofia did an amazing job on my wedding dress. I contacted her on a very short notice, weeks before my wedding and she agreed to squeeze me in for an appointment. My wedding dress required a lot of alteration and very detailed and intricate work. Sofia was very patient with me and listened to all my ideas, then she gave me her suggestions. My wedding dress came out better than I could have imagined it. I later asked for Sofia's advice to alter my mom's dress for the wedding. On the 3rd occasion I asked Sofia for help, it was for an evening gown for the Marine Birthday Ball. The dress needed a lot of work again and Sofia was as friendly and approachable as always. She is very knowledgeable and has a great ability for attention to detail. I would confidently recommend Sofia for any alteration. read more

Sofia is incredible!!! I came to her with my wedding gown and she completely reconstructed it!!! Her work is intricate and she is an absolute perfectionist when it comes to her work!! On top of her amazing work she is so sweet and welcoming and really makes you feel comfortable in her home. I cannot recommend her highly enough, my dress turned out exactly the way I wanted it and it fit like a glove! read more

This is the second year I have had Sofia hem my dress for the marine ball. Sofia does very professional job in a timely manner, she had my dress ready in 2 days. I highly recommend her to other marine wives. Before coming to Sophia I went to another alteration place out in town and the Asian lady wanted to charge me more than what I initially paid for the dress! Don't waste your hard-earned money going to places that want to charge you an arm and a leg! ** Sofia works out of her home & is by appointment only. read more

I loved working with Sophia! So happy I found her. She made making my already beautiful dress more beautiful easy! She is so tale talented and professional. Trust her with your dress she is great read more

I was so lucky to have met Sofia through Something Bleu bridal boutique, where I purchased my wedding gown. They referred me to her for alterations after I showed up for my first alteration appointment and the alterations' woman there failed to show up. Lucky for me though because Sofia is a gem! She is extremely detailed oriented and knows precisely how to make your gown fit like a glove. Her experience and knowledge are evident! She works out of her home, which is warm and inviting. Everything was ready on time, and her work was exquisite. On my gown, she had to undo extensive beading and appliqué on the bodice in order to make the torso and bust fit correctly. She added a beautiful bustle and discreetly hid the buttons. She also had a beautiful little selection of accessories for sale, and I ended up purchasing a bracelet. I knew my dress was in capable hands when she had it, and I felt confident it would be stunning. It was! Thank you, Sofia ! read more

Sofia is so amazing. I did not realize how poorly my dress fit me before I had my final fitting and we compared the before and after photos. The end result was perfect. The attention to detail was amazing and it was very easy to trust her recommendations each step of the way. Wonderful all around:) read more

Thank you Sofia!! I only had 3 weeks to go before my wedding and Sofia managed to do all of the alterations just the way I wanted them. She is so personable and really cares about how you look and feel in your dress. She is also very reasonably priced for the quality of work that she does (outstanding). Trust me, look no further for a seamstress. Sofia is your girl! read more

Highly recommend Sofia. She is the sweetest person and loved working with her. I went to her first when I had a bridesmaid and flower girl dress altered. They turned out perfect and since I was in a rush she was able to get them done for me quickly! So when I got engaged and said Yes to the dress she was without a doubt my go to person. She went over and beyond to make sure I was in love with the results. She gave me recommendations and made my experience smooth and stress free. Highly recommend!!!! read more

Sofia is a life saver! After being stood up by another alterations vendor, I found Sofia. She is professional, she knows her craft and very creative. She delivers on what she has promised. Whatever it took to get the dress right, she did! With my daughter's wedding gown Sofia revamped it and brought the dress concept to life. She's the best in San Diego County! read more

I found Bridal Alterations by Sofia on Yelp and let me just say... She is amazing! I had bought my wedding dress two years before my wedding and I was nervous about it fitting correctly. Sofia made me calm and reassured everything would be perfect. My dress fit me like a glove. I can't thank her enough and trust me when I say she knows what she's doing! Thank you again Sofia! read more

Sofia is a skilled and professional tailor. She has a true specialty in Bridal Alterations and will work on your wedding gown until it is perfect. She is patient and gives expert advice. She is willing to work with you on the pricing. I had a mediocre encounter with another tailor in the area that I paid so much money for and found my dress incompletely altered. I was upset because there was still work to be done. I showed Sofia what alterations were needed (bust was too loose, the dress still too long, I needed more lift in the front of the skirt) and Sofia turned my dress into a perfect fit! read more

Sophia is the most amazing seamstress! What an artist! She is professional, reasonable, and a perfectionist in her work. She did a beautiful job altering my daughter's wedding dress and we were extraordinarily pleased. She was timely and very accommodating. I highly recommend Sophia for any alterations needed. read more

Sofia is amazing!! She's very detailed and good with her work. My dress was a very complicated princess ball gown with multiple layers and intricate lace/beading details. Because I'm short, we had to hem a lot of the length. Sofia did her magic and my dress looks the same as before except it fits me perfectly! Thank you Sofia for taking your time with my dress! Highly recommended! read more

Sofia is amazing! We were looking for a fair priced place to get our alterations and when everything seemed to be out of our price range, we were referred to Sofia. She is so sweet and lovely all the time. I told her exactly what I wanted, and I felt like I immediately trusted her with whatever she needed to do. There were some things that I wanted specifically that Sofia worked with and did it perfectly. She also went above and beyond when I told her I wanted to lose more weight before the wedding, she gave me a book to read and some amazing workout tips! She was willing to fix my dress as much as I needed as I lost my weight. I loved going to visit her because we could make as many appointments necessary until the dress was perfect in time for the wedding. I got to see my dress often and evolve into what it became. It turned out amazing! I loved it so much! I highly recommend Sofia! read more

I went to Sofia for my dress because she did such a great job on my friends. Every visit was great. She has a great attention to detail and explained her whole process and reasoning before she made any changes. She also gave me a quote at the very beginning so I knew right away what it would cost. My dress was pretty complicated and delicate, but she did a great job. I would definitely recommend her to anyone. read more

Sophia is an incredible seamstress. She made some big alterations to my dress and made it so beautiful. She is honest, affordable and most of all, talented. She is very precise and strives for perfection. She had to reconstruct the bodice part or my dress because the manufacturer did a poor job at it and she made it much more comfortable and i wasn't tugging to keep it up all night. She does beautiful work and was less than half of the price of a seamstress at any bridal store. I highly recommend her to any bride!! read more

I can't recommend Sophia highly enough. My dress required major alterations and she took it on very calmly. Her schedule is flexible and she was very responsive to my every concern. My wedding dress ended up fitting perfect and I will be forever grateful for her kindness and expertise! read more

My wedding is a month away and I was so stressed my dress wouldn't fit or that I couldn't get it done on time . I absolutely loved working with Sofia and recommend her for anyone that needs dresses fixed ! read more

Sofia is an amazing and talented seamstress! Like most brides, I was convinced by the salesgirl to buy a dress that was 6x bigger than my frame. I even lost weight a few months before the wedding so my dress was HUGE and since it was a mermaid cut, it needed to be taken in almost everywhere. I brought my dress to Sofia at the beginning of September. I had about 5 fittings total (including the final fitting with family to pick up the dress) and I picked it up a week before my wedding on November 17th. Throughout the process, she explained in detail the alterations that needed to be done and always provided me with options to keep the cost down. When she was finished, the dress fit me like a glove and looked absolutely gorgeous! I couldn't have been happier and I got so many compliments about the shape and fit of the dress! You cannot go wrong with Sofia, she's a honest, hardworking, and detailed seamstress with a lot of talent. Thank you again, Sofia, for making me look flawless on my wedding day! read more

PERFECT! Sofia is so professional and inexpensive! I mean it, there are so many alterations people that claim they are cheap but just did not fit my tight budget. Sofia is a top-notch professional that is honest and wants to make everything affordable for you. I just recently got my wedding gown back from her; Not only does it fit PERFECTLY, but she hand-sewn additional beads where she let out the seem. You cannot tell the seem was even let it out! My wedding gown gave me that annoying armpit fat and overall, was too tight on me. After she let the gown out, she sewed on additional beading, which looks identical to the rest of the beading. Sofia even re-shaped the A-line so it hugs my chest perfectly. I was so disheartened when I first started searching for a wedding gown alterations lady because everyone was too dang expensive. I am so thankful I found Sofia. PS - Sofia showed me a picture of a dress she hand-made for her daughter. This dress took her three months to make. Sofia knows her stuff. read more

Sofia was phenomenal! She took me as a client despite having a short deadline. She really worked with me to ensure that I was getting exactly what I wanted. I only needed a hem and to let out my sleeves a bit because they were a little too tight, but I am confident that Sofia could do any alterations. She is also very sweet and seems to really care about her clients. Also, her pricing is reasonable! (Better than you'll find most places). I am extremely satisfied with my services from Sofia and my dress was beautiful! Thank you Sofia! read more

Sofia did a fantastic job altering my dress. She took in the bust, added cups, took in the sides, added a bustle, and smoothed out some weird puckering in the pleats, all in 2.5 weeks (my wedding's still a month away, so we had lots of time!). Her prices were far more reasonable than what I was quoted at the store I purchased the dress from. She works out of her home, where her lovely living room doubles as a bridal salon. She is very sweet and accommodating, I'd definitely recommend her to anyone in north county looking for reliable bridal alterations. read more

Sophia is amazing!!! I have been going to her for the past 2 years and her work always has me amazed. I started going when I needed a white and gold laced dress altered for the military ball. She added padding to fit my cup size, tightened the straps, and made the dress a little shorter. You can easily tell she loves what she does and for sure is a perfectionist!! She will never leave you unsatisfied, trust her with your dress!! :) read more

All I can say is THANK YOU Sofia! This wedding dress was a nightmare. I ended dup receiving the wrong dress twice from the bridal boutique. I finally got a dress, but it was too big. Sofia was amazing! We ended up being on an extremely tight time frame. Two weeks until the wedding and the dress needed to be brought in and the chest needed remodeling. She was really patient and fit me in. I honestly was at the point of not using my dress and going out and buying the first thing I saw at the mall. Every time I went in, Sofia brought me more at ease. The end product was BEAUTIFUL. I could have not had a better person work on this dress. Thank you so much Sofia. You have no idea how much I appreciate you and your work! read more

Sofia is amazing. I went to her with a 12 year old dress that was a little outdated. I wanted to update it and make it fit who I was today. She didn't shy from the challenge and she advised me of the negatives in some of the alterations. She completes the alterations in sections and takes the time to listen to you. My dress came out perfect and better than I could have imagined. She is wonderful and I would highly recommend anyone who needs a wedding dress or dress altered to contact her. read more

Sofia is amazing. I came in last minute to get a bustle on my wedding dress and she got it done SO quickly and it looks absolutely beautiful. 100% recommend. read more

Sofia did the alterations on my wedding dress and I couldn't be happier. She has you come in for fittings as many times as it takes for you to be 100% happy with your dress. My Pronovias dress was originally a sheath dress but I wanted it more full at the bottom. She was able to take on the task and sew tulle at the bottom of the dress to transform it into a mermaid style. I had such a good experience I recommend Sofia! read more

Sofia was very friendly and helpful. The prices are fair, the item was ready when we needed it and the quality of the work was excellent.

Sofia is one of the nicest people I've ever met. I had the most wonderful experience with her! I planned my wedding within a couple of months and was super stressed. I emailed Sofia to see if she could alter my wedding dress with the little time that I had. She called me back right away and I was able to make an appt. She is super flexible with her scheduling. She also altered 2 of my bridesmaid's dresses. The dresses turned out perfectly!! I am truly amazed by her skill. I recommend her to everyone!! :) read more

I tried to hem my dress two days before an event and found Sofia by reviews on yelp. I have read over 16 reviews that were 5 stars which was more than any seamstress reviews I have seen. When I called her she was so nice and worked with my schedule. Within two hours the same day I gave it to her she called me and said it was ready. She was so nice and understood my situation. She even had me try it on again before she finished to make sure it was the right length. I would recommend her to all my friends and family. read more

I highly recommend Sofia! She is a true professional and artist. She has a lot of experience and many helpful ideas. My dress fit me like a glove on my wedding day- perfect! Sofia also recommended a dry cleaning company and my dress was delivered on the wedding day in perfect condition. I could not be happier. You will not regret working with Sofia, she's the best! read more

I am so happy I went to Sofia for my bridal alterations. I was shopping on a budget and bought a dress that I loved off the rack at an outlet, but it was several sizes too big. I found Sofia on Yelp and went to her about 4-5 times to get the dress meticulously taken in and sized for me. It had very delicate lace on the top, and a pattern that required Sofia to take all of the panels apart and put them back together again, and she did it expertly. It fit like a glove on my wedding day. I got so many compliments, and I know it wouldn't have been the same if I had gone to someone else. Also the price was extremely reasonable, especially for such careful work. You can tell she takes pride in her work, and she was always so friendly and happy to help - I could tell she really cared and wanted to make my dress perfect. You really can't go wrong in taking your dress to her. Thank you so much, Sofia! My wedding day wouldn't have been the same without you. read more
