I found Kelly in Dec, 23 while scouring the internet for anyone in Long Beach that could create a…read morecustom wedding dress for my September 24 wedding. I had a pretty specific vision in mind and was mostly concerned with communicating the design + getting an outcome that was polished and fitted to perfection. I can say that Kelly came correct and completely fulfilled my vision with precision, expertise, and patience, all while being the coolest to chat and collaborate with. I approached her with an oxidized, stained headpiece that my grandma wore for her wedding in 1955 hoping to upcycle it into a custom headband with a detachable veil. She totally removed all the stains and masterfully created the most beautiful headpiece using a headband I provided. It was my favorite part of my outfit and was really special to honor my grandma since her passing. She also created a custom veil that snapped onto the headband. A dream come true. I splurged on the fabric for this gown since I wanted the shiny look of Silk Dupioni, but overall the cost for this experience was far more reasonable than if I had gone for something similar off the rack + invested in countless alterations. Kelly went above and beyond, even becoming a post-wedding hero by removing unthinkable stains (that happened back home the week after the wedding, thank gawd) from my dress that we were both not too confident would come out. She did it nonetheless and have nothing but amazing things to say about her! The cherry on top is that she's a cool 7 minute drive from my place in Cal Heights--A quick drive for anyone located in Long Beach + surrounding areas. Kelly is worth every penny. I am ride or die for this woman!!!

I was referred to Kelly by a friend that works in the bridal industry. I bought my dress from a…read moreboutique in Los Angeles and when I went to the seamstress they recommended, I was told that the alterations I wanted were not possible. When I told my friend, she immediately said "GO TO KELLY" and I'm so happy I did. Not only did Kelly listen to my vision, but she brought it to life. Every idea I had for the dress was suddenly made possible which meant so much!! She demonstrated great communication, welcomed feedback, was very transparent about pricing, and met each deadline ahead of schedule. Even though I live in Los Angeles, I didn't mind driving to Long Beach for every appointment because I knew I was in great hands and could trust her attention to detail. I enjoyed working with her so much that I also asked her to alter my dresses for my engagement photos and welcome dinner. Thank you Kelly for everything!!

Working with Courtney made the wedding planning/preparation process for me a lot less stressful. I…read morewas looking for a local tailor that had fair prices- it really helps that she displays her work on her instagram so you can really see the quality. She was on the preferred list from the bridal shop I purchased my wedding dress. I had her alter my wedding dress (tighten bust area, bustle, hem) and traditional Chinese dress (shorten sleeves, add bust cups, add darts to make the dress more fitted), and she was able to do it all very efficiently. I also had a last minute decision hem the dress and fortunately did so because Courtney discovered the hem was uneven. When you reach out to her she provides you a range of costs (min to max) so you have a ballpark about the costs of the alterations. Mine ended up being around the middle. I highly recommend working with Courtney if you live in the South Bay Area.

I gave Courtney a list of all the alterations my dress needed. She sent me a detailed estimate via email and I appreciated her honesty about cost and timeline. Once price was agreed on, we set my first appointment. My dress needed quite a bit of work! Straps shortened, sleeve work, a hem, a bustle, bodice work, lining added, skirt lining changed and I added some lace details to my veil. Not your standard alterations! I had a total of four fittings. Courtney made me feel comfortable and listened to my needs at each appointment. She sent appointment reminders and I liked her pay as work is done system. What a difference alterations can make. I started off with a dress I liked and ended with a dress I loved. My dress was perfect! I felt comfortable in my dress all day and I know that's thanks to Courtney! Also, you absolutely need the bustle! I was able to dance the night away without having to worry about my train getting ripped or needing to be held.
