I cannot recommend Ariana Sewing Shop highly enough…read more I purchased what was essentially a ready-to-wear floor sample that was nearly two sizes too big, but he transformed it into what truly felt like a custom couture gown. From our very first appointment, he listened carefully to my vision and immediately understood exactly what I was hoping to achieve. He completely reimagined the dress by reshaping the neckline, removing the cap sleeves, and tailoring every detail until it fit me perfectly. It was a significant alteration project that required multiple appointments, yet he never once inflated the price or surprised me with additional charges. His honesty, professionalism, and attention to detail were remarkable. On my wedding day, I felt absolutely incredible. The dress looked and fit better than I ever imagined, and so much of that was because of his talent. He didn't just alter a gown. He helped create the dress I had envisioned from the beginning. If you're looking for someone who is exceptionally skilled, patient, fair, and genuinely invested in bringing your vision to life, I wouldn't hesitate to trust him with the most important dress you'll ever wear. Thank you for helping make my wedding day so special.

I stopped by the local alterations to get my dress altered. I needed to reduce the length of the…read morestraps so that it was not pulling down too much up top. I walked in and the lady was able to help adjust the dress for me to see what it looked like. She asked if I wanted to hem the bottom and I told her I did not think I needed too because when the straps get shorten it would also change the length of the dress. However I did ask for her opinion as she has probably done plenty of alterations before and she said she would hem the bottom by about half an inch or so. They took about 3 weeks to alter the dress and made sure I knew that it was a CASH only establishment. I went back in 3 weeks later to pick up the dress. The man handed me the dress and asked for the money. I asked if I could try it on first to ensure it fit properly. He did let me try it on but was nearby as in he waited by the front door to ensure I would pay them before exiting with my dress... The dress fit where I had them adjust the straps. The dress length was okay. To be honest, probably could have gotten away with not hemming the bottom, but it's fine I guess. The total came out to be $100. Not sure about you, it does seem a little expensive for what was done. I was told they are very detailed when it comes to alterations so I decided to go with them. However, if budget is a priority for you, I'd considering looking around and comparing prices.

She did an EXCELLENT job, in a very short amount of time. Not only is she incredibly talented, she is wonderful to work with! I enjoyed the experience and I LOVE my dress! The high quality work and attention to detail is truly remarkable. During our initial phone call, she took the time to answer all of my questions and didn't rush me. She didn't pressure me to go with her, made me feel comfortable and said she would be able to fit me in just in time for my wedding. My first fitting was such a positive experience! She is incredibly bright and insanely talented. She is friendly and personable. When I went to the second fitting to pick up my dress, I was truly stunned. I have never used the word "snatched" before, but she made me look "snatched". I never wanted to take my gown off. She transformed it into a work of art. My mom needed help when steaming my dress on the day of my wedding, and I didn't know what to do. I gave her my phone and had her call Carole. Carole was so kind and helpful and went above and beyond. I am so grateful for Carole! TLDR: Carole is absolutely AMAZING and will make you look and feel BEAUTIFUL on your wedding day.
