I highly recommend Fidelina for any of your alternation needs. I came to her in February to get my wedding dress hemmed, taken in on the sides, reduce the bust size, add a bustle, and make off the shoulder sleeves. My wedding was in July and it turned out perfect! My dress was originally a size 12 and I'm a size 4/6 so it had to be taken in A LOT. The dress was also too long, I was worried about getting it hemmed because of the lace that ran along the bottom of the dress. She carefully took off all that lace, hemmed it, then sewed the lace back on. She also made my off the shoulder straps using the excess fabric. Her prices were very reasonable and cheaper than having my dress altered by the company. I also think they wouldn't have done such an amazing job as she did. The dress fit so perfectly that I was able to dance all night long without having to pull my dress up even once. Fidelina is an amazing seamstress and I will be definitely going back to her.

Fidelina was easy to reach and Very accommodating and price is very reasonable. When we entered the business Fidelina quickly and very warmly greeted us. Fidelinas is hands down my new local/neighborhood go to alterations expert!

She completely rebuilt my dress into my dream dress

I can't say enough about my experience with Fidelina! She was extremely thorough and worked hard to make my vision a reality with my wedding dress! Her attention to detail was impecable!!! We turned my wedding dress into the attached picture from a sleeveless spaghetti strap dress. I can't thank her enough for her artistry!!! Side note, she also altered several members of my family for the big day and they were just as pleased with their final products!

After alterations before the hooks were added for the over skirt

I came to Fidelina's literally a month before my wedding since the person who was originally going to alter my wedding dress wasn't able to and she was able to get the job done on such short notice! It was easy booking with her and booking my follow up appointments as well. I needed a few things done such as adding hooks for an over skirt, lifting the tail of the dress, lifting the straps, and making the dress tighter and she did it in about 2/3 weeks! I was super happy with the results she did everything that I wanted and I was overall very happy with the service! She is such a kind person and was great at communicating with me through the whole process. I definitely recommend for wedding dress alterations!

Fidelina worked miracles on my dress. It was WAY WAY WAY too big and after two other alterations places turned me down, Fidelina said she could do it no problem. She was sweet, patient, prompt, welcoming, professional, and most importantly EXTREMELY skilled. I would have been in a LOT of trouble if I hadn't found her. I have nothing but good things to say about the incredible amount of work she put in to make my dress perfect. She always made sure I was happy with the way the dress was coming out; a very attentive woman who pays attention to every detail. Thank you so much Fidelina!!! Without you I would have had to buy a new dress. You're the best!

I was very happy with my alterations by Fidelina. One suggestion- if you need more than your dress taken up and a bustle added make sure to go in for your initial fitting 8+ weeks prior to your wedding date. Fidelina is the only person who touches the wedding dress alterations, so do yourself a favor and be patient and communicate what you want. You need to budget plenty of time for your fittings (I probably went in 5 times for about 20-30minutes each). The price was reasonable seeing that she needed to line the bodice, take it in about 3 inches, take it up quite a bit and add a full bustle for my train. I was very happy with her end product, though I did show up to pick it up a week before my wedding to find it wasn't ready... but honestly I wasn't too worried and it turned out just great! I would definitely recommend her.

My dream wedding gown ended up fitting better than I could have ever imagined! Thanks to Fidelina's!!

Fidelina's always does a great job whenever I need things hemmed. I've recommended many others to come here.

I'm not sure why, maybe because the thought of chopping up my heavily beaded, lace, expensive dress was overwhelming?

From the first consultation, I knew I could trust Josh. Without Josh's expertise and timeliness, I…read morewould not have been able to fit my wedding dress for the big day. I had a rush size up request on a very delicate wedding dress I bought from my favorite designer in Korea and wanted to make sure the original design was retained as much as possible. Josh was able to do this with utmost confidence and professionalism, and was able to fix my dress within a matter of few days, just in time for my wedding. I was on the verge of having a mental breakdown with the dress not being able to zip up, but Josh was so understanding of my needs and made me feel reassured every step of the way. The final product was as if nothing changed from the original design and most importantly, I could zip my dress up and breathe in it! Thank you Josh, you are a gem!! You made what I thought was impossible possible. I am forever grateful.

My search for a trustworthy tailor came down to two options--one in the east bay and one on in the…read morecity. My criteria's outside of skill was also communication. Here is how I landed on picking Josh over my other comparable option. First, customer service. My initial call with Josh's was met with patience and professionalism. The person who answered my call helped me understand what I'm trying to get done, how long it would take and a good estimate of how much it would cost. On top of that they answered me on the first call. I couldn't say the same about my other options. Second, service. Josh's website makes it easy to book an appointment. I went on, booked a 20 min consultation and arrived to my appointment. I want to say thank you to Josh for being patient because I arrived ten minutes late due to coming from the east bay and he still gave me the time and care he normally would if I came on time. Josh knew exactly what had to be done before I even told him anything. He just looked at me and started pinning things up--I was very impressed. He gave me his honest feedback and allowed me to pick the best option possible for my needs without being pushy about additional alterations/alteration methods. I felt like I was in very good hands. Last but not least, the work. Josh's is only open on Saturdays and closed Sundays--so I had to pick up my suit before work at 8 AM. I tried on my suit just in case I needed additional work and it fit like a glove. I felt ready like I was going to a red carpet event and you can tell how well he did from my photo. Everything fitted perfectly and I left extremely satisfied. The cost was also very reasonable for adjustments on both my blazer and pants--it came down to $200 cash flat and finish time was less than the estimated 2 weeks. So if you're looking for someone to get you ready for that special event in your life, I highly recommend heading over to Josh's. Price is reasonable, work is professional and customer service is topnotch.
