Anna is nothing short of amazing! I bought my wedding dress off the rack at a bridal store and it…read morewasn't quite my size horizontally and vertically haha. Anna was able to modify the dress to make it look as if it was ordered specifically for my measurements. You couldn't tell any work had been done it. The dress was very intricate in detail with lots and lots of lace. Anna was able to adjust everything needed on the dress so that it was in its place proportional to where it should be on me. During my last fittings, I noticed that I couldn't get my arm high enough for my first dance (this is an off the shoulder dress and those are inherently limited in arm movement because of where the fabric goes around the arm), not only did she alter it to add a bit more fabric that completely matched the dress and allowed me the needed extra movement, Anna did this all in less than 24 hours as I needed the dress by the next day to take back with my to CA where my wedding was. In addition to this, I had brought new shoes to my last fitting, and of course they were a different height than the previous shoes I had used during my fittings. Was this a problem for Anna? Nope! She was able to shorten the dress as well for the next morning. Anna is not only a great seamstress/alterations expert, but also such a pleasure to have done business with! She truly cares about her clients and strives to provide excellent service with every interaction. She also did alterations for my mother's mother of the bride dress. This was a heavily beaded dress which needed to be let out and shortened. The work on this dress was more than my wedding dress I think. You could not tell any work had been done it. Anna even added some sleeves as we needed something to cover my mom's arms for the ceremony. I highly recommend Anna for any alteration work needed. The business establishment is very professional with large mirrors and couches, not a little closet with a small thin mirror. You will truly feel like you are in expert hands, because you are!

Nina pulled all the options for me ahead of time and was able to read my vibe very quickly, and the 5th overall dress I tried on sincerely floored me!! I became obsessed.

Thank you for such a great experience. A once in a lifetime moment can feel scary but I'm glad I had Nina with me to walk me through it :)

Don't know where to begin! I met Regina in March 2020 right before the world shutdown due to the…read morepandemic. She spent hours with my mother and I perfecting everything detail of my dream invitation for my wedding October 2020. She was personable yet professional. She truly loves her job, she is not a money hungry wedding vendor trying to rip her brides off. As a bride, I've met many different vendors from dress stores to florists and if there's one thing they all have in common- trying to get as much as they can from a bride planning her dream wedding. This was not Regina, her prices were extremely reasonable and the quality incomparable. As I said this was amidst the pandemic, so I didn't know if my 10/11/20 would happen. After receiving the quote and design proof from Regina I told her I would like to wait before placing the order since no one knew if this pandemic would effect my wedding. She responded with nothing but kind words and hoped for the best. Fast forward to May 2020, I decided to postpone until March 2021- but then September 2020 decided to replan my wedding in a month to get married on our original 10/11/20 date. Unfortunately, because I decided a month before the wedding to have it again there was not enough time to send paper invites. I had to do the 21st century pandemic thing and send an evite (ew, I know) but I was left with no other choice given the short notice. However, I still needed place-cards for my bridal shower and the wedding. Regina could not have been more accommodating, she got them done quickly and they were PERFECTION. When I went to pick up the place-cards, she could not express how happy she was that amidst this pandemic I was going to have my wedding. With tears in her eyes and genuine happiness, she told me she had a surprise for me. She then handed me the stunning invitation we had spent hours planning. Regina wanted to ensure I had a real copy of my invitation to take pictures of and cherish forever. Her genuine, passionate, kind hearted work should be known to every bride. Thank you Regina, you are a very special person. Don't ever change! There are not many (if any) vendors like you, who truly love their job and do it for the love not the money! I look forward to seeing you again for all the future events I will have!

I could only imagine if we found her sooner & would have hired her from beginning to end. Please do not hesitate to step inside & get acquainted with this lovely lady's store. You will not regret it!

I was married over Labor Day weekend in September 2009. From the beginning of our wedding planning,…read morewe knew that we wanted to carefully craft our wedding to reflect ourselves and our love of all things local, sustainable, and beautiful. We involved friends and family in all aspects of the planning, including the creation of my wedding dress. I met Sam through mutual friends, and approached her about making my dress soon after our engagement. We had several meetings to talk about what I was looking for - shapes, styles, inspirations - and I greatly appreciated the attention paid to all my ideas. Sam and I worked together to create a modern dress inspired by my grandmother's war-time wedding suit. Sam provided me with lots of feedback, research, and sketches before presenting me with a toile pattern to try on. From there, we played with draping, pleating, etc. to fit the dress perfectly. She took into consideration all my feedback and comments, and made sure I was completely happy with the fit, style and drape of the dress. The final result was absolutely incredible. The dress was impeccably crafted, down to the lining, buttons, and all the little hidden details. Sam has exceptional taste, and used only the loveliest fabrics, trims, embellishments and buttons. It certainly shows when a dress is crafted with as much care and skill as hers. There are a lot of stresses when planning a wedding and the last thing in the world I wanted was to end up at a bridal shop being poked and prodded and bullied into a dress I didn't really want. The process of working with Sam to create my dress was relaxed and fun. I ended up with a dress that fit like a glove, had a unique and elegant feel, felt great to wear, and was more perfect than I could have imagined. It was a fantastic experience, and I am so happy to have had the chance to work with her! Molly O Brooklyn

I cannot say enough about Sam and her work. I needed some alterations done and a wrap made for my…read morewedding dress, and had a few photos of what I was hoping for. Sam worked from the photos and made a spectacular cape/wrap, matching the fabric of my dress perfectly and adding some detail work that pulled the look together beautifully. It was creative, well-made and unique, and she did it within a couple of weeks. My wedding dress was actually the second dress I purchased -- the first was botched by a seamstress who said she could do something that she couldn't without compromising the fit, rushed me through, and didn't really understand what I was hoping for. Sam was the opposite: patient and accessible; clear on what she thought should and shouldn't be done with the alterations; and careful to make sure that she understood what I wanted. My only regret is that I didn't know about her sooner. Her studio was filled with some spectacular dresses she was working on that were feminine and romantic but also kind of edgy and modern. Had I met hear earlier i would have tried to go with one of her original designs. I enthusiastically recommend! Martha

They have dresses for an older clientele, revealing options, classy options. The owner is an absolute gem. I drove in from Bay Ridge and I was apprehensive about looking too flashy or spending too much, and tried on some lower priced dresses I liked, but didn't love. She was so supportive and uplifting about my body and when I asked her what she would put me in, she chose something I wouldn't have thought to try. Her suggestion was absolutely gorgeous, and was a beaded gown. It was also more than I wanted to spend. She told me she would give me a deal, but I thought that was just sales speak. I left to think about it and searched for the dress online to see what it goes for. It was expensive. When I went back to buy it, she was being honest. I saved about $200 buying it with her. I am really happy with my purchase and would recommend her and her staff if you are looking for a dress.

The tailoring that Maria does is impeccable. She makes miracles happen. She once managed to extend my dress that didn't have much material in the stomach area to fit my pregnancy.
