    my dress after Clara altered it from a size 10 and moved the waist up 5 inches!!!
    Daveen E.

    Clara did a fantastic job with my wedding dresses. I bought my 1st dress as a part of a sample sale as a size 10. (I am a size 0-2) Not only was the dress way to big, it was a drop waist, which I did not like. Honestly, I only liked the material (satin). I brought it to Clara to basically re-make the dress. These are the things I had her do: -Take it in from a size 10 to a 2 -Move the waist up about 5 inches -Make it a sweetheart neck instead of straight across -Make the back dip down We had 3 appointments/fittings and she completely changed my dress. It fit perfectly and looked beautiful!!! I was so amazing by her work. I had her work on my reception dress as well. It was a Chinese style dress (fitted). I ordered it custom; however, they messed up the measurements and it was very tight at the hips (to the point where I could not sit). The material had 0 stretch and it was beaded and had sequins. Clara was able to take the waist in and let the hips out. She did a great job! She also does not overcharge; I got everything done exactly as I wanted and she was even able to recommend additional alterations that I did not even think of. Both dresses cost me just over $400 to alter. I recommend Clara to every bride. She is extremely talented!!!

    Mrs. Clara is amazing! She made my wedding dress into my dream dress! Originally, I regretted purchasing my dress at first because I didn't love it. It was too big and fit weird, but clara made some serious changes and it came out exactly what I had envisioned my dress to look like. I live in NY but my wedding was in GA, and every trip down to Clara's for fittings was well worth it. She even made my bustle so beautifully subtle that it looked so well in picture. I got so many compliments during my wedding! I would highly recommend her for any alterations. My whole family even changed their tailor and now only come to Clara's for all alterations.

    Clara is an absolute lifesaver! I brought her my bridesmaid dress to her for some extreme alterations THREE DAYS before the wedding and she did an incredible job. Very reasonable price, especially considering the strict time constraints. She was very professional and would highly recommend her business.

    My altered dress, with boobs accentuated how I wanted, waist-line tightened, embroidery/beading re-done, and hips flattened.

    Clara basically made my bargain designer dress like new again! I found a designer wedding dress that was discounted to $200 at an outlet for La Raine's. It was a BEAUTIFUL dress, but had clearly been the show room dress or in some other way used, with darkening of dirt near the zipper on it. There was this lovely beading and embroidery in a cherry blossom sort of pattern, but some of the stitching was loose and in some places the beading looked like it was going to come undone. Also, it seemed like someone had tried to alter it previously (poorly) and basically tucked a bunch of fabric into the hips, so it made my butt look big and bunched unevenly. Clara and her team re-did all the stitching and beading that was loose, as well as some that they had to re-work near hem lines that needed to be altered, and she fixed the zipper area, AND un-did the weird prior alterations. She even made little adjustments that I didn't originally ask for, accentuating nice features of my body and further improving on the dress. She has a real eye for how to make these dresses really flatter your figure! She did such a good job, I had 2 other formal dresses altered by her (similarly exceptionally tailored), and I just took my Herve Leger (also bought on sale) dress over to have her fix the top slightly so that it flatters my figure better (those dresses are figure-flattering to begin with, but this one was slightly off at the top). I love her work, and I drive over 20 minutes to her alteration shop because I trust her with my dresses.

    Clara's amazing work on my dress, fit like a glove!

    Clara is amazing! My dress was very tricky and backless and I couldn't wear a bra with it. I was worried about the support, but She worked her magic on it and it was perfect!!! With a lace, backless, bra-less dress I was so worried about the fit..it surpassed my expectations. Worth the drive to Roswell!!

    First fitting - Clara has done a FLAWLESS job!

    Initially, I was going to wait until my dress was totally complete to post a review; however, as this is prime wedding/alteration season, I couldn't wait... She was highly recommended by my BHLDN stylist (they do not do alterations in-house). Clara is a wedding dress alteration fairy (if that is even a "thing")... seriously, she has worked magic on my dress. She transformed it into a mermaid fit, added cups, smoothed this incredibly tricky illusion back, made it fit through the hips and posterior, and ensured that it did not gap ANYWHERE. As an added bonus, she is sweet, complimentary, and SO excited about my dress - she truly is passionate about her craft. I love her!!! She has made what could be quite stressful SO fun. In the attached picture, all that is left is to take it in slightly more and re-attach a few appliques - I will re-post with the final product. BEAUTIFUL work.

    Clara did a fabulous job on my wedding dress. It fitted like a glove on my body.

    Clara did a fabulous job on my wedding dress! My dress had complicated design. The bodice was too big (especially at the boobs area), and the waist area was too tight. Clara took out some extra lace on the front meticulously without changing the original pattern. I could barely tell the lace has been altered. She also reduced the cup size and sewed a built-in-bra in my dress. The corset on the waist line was extremely tight in the original design. I could barely breath with it. Clara let out as much corset as possible and also extend some fabric at the hook area. The dress was very comfortable to wear during the wedding day. I can not thank Clara enough for the fantastic work.

    There may not be enough words in the English language to express how much I love Clara. She is the kindest woman! My first consultation she was so sweet and constantly complimented me. She even walked me out to my car! My dress had very intricate beading and was a fit and flare satin gown. I just knew it was going to be expensive. Every time I visited her (5 visits in all) she found more things to do to the dress to make it perfect including opening the back up. Never did the price change from the original price we agreed to on my first visit!! If you think I'm hyping her up just look at my before and after pictures. Clara worked wonders and was always so gracious, so warm and just a pleasure to be around. She was referred to me from a friend and I have referred her to my friends. She's amazing y'all!!!

    Clara did a great job altering my wedding dress over a series of 3 appointments. My dress was full of lace so I was very particular and nervous about having it messed with. She also sewed a beaded belt to the dress. My favorite part was the wedding veil fabric from my mother's wedding veil that she cut and sewed to my jeweled comb. I would highly recommend her services for your special day! Top quality work

    My wedding dress!

Not to mention, I came with a sample pair that I got altered a couple of years because I still love the fit! The lady at the location was adamant that she understood and could deliver a quality product. Not keep in mind this 5 pair of pants with the tag still on them. So I wait patiently for a week to have these alteration completed. I got to pick the pants up and something about the ladies energy is off. I'm big on energy! I'm picking them up in between jobs so I insert my card for the $75.00. Grab my items and go to my second job. When I get home I try them on and it did not give what it was suppose to have gave! It's appeared that nothing was done. My pants look the same as before. I was in shock! I just paid $75.00! So I go back 8/19/2021 and attempt to resolve the issue. The lady that works there seemed to be on board with providing options until she wanted me to pay an additional $100.00 to complete the same work that I asked her to do in the first place. She then called the manager and had her try to explain why I should be ok with spending an additional $100.00 to fix an issue that was due to a language barrier. Be aware when you attempt to patronize this establishment! Sincerely disgusted with the lack of caring, horrible, customer service!!!!! Good customer service is HARD to find anymore!
