My wedding reception dress!
Jessica P.

They helped me alter my reception dress for my wedding! :) I came in with my dress was very loose and was falling off when I put it on. Even the placement just looked off. I asked to see if they were able to fix it. I had ordered a size bigger just in case I believe it's easier to fix if bigger than if it was smaller size. But I took the chance since I was ordering online. Regardless they took care of me and helped me get my dress to look gorgeous like this on my wedding day! :) I'm so grateful for the people at this alteration place they really know what they are doing ! Thanks again! I will be returning when I have any other alterations done/dry cleaning. It was very reasonable in pricing as well, they did an amazing job! I highly recommend coming to them first! :)

Writing this review to share how much I loved working with Mrs. Kim and Wu. This is a small, family-owned business, and the care they put into their work truly shows. We did a semi-elopement at City Hall with just immediate family, and I received my dress only 1.5 months before our scheduled date. Despite the tight timeline, Mrs. Kim and Wu were able to complete the alterations beautifully and on time. Mrs. Kim is an absolute sweetheart--she immediately knew what adjustments to make to ensure the dress fit my body perfectly, and she clearly explained how each change would enhance the overall look. My dress was also quite complex due to the lining at the bottom, but she was still able to alter the length seamlessly. Their pricing was very reasonable, especially considering both the complexity of the dress and the time crunch. I was so impressed that I've already recommended them to several girlfriends this year. I couldn't be happier with the experience and results.

The kindest family, and they offer really strong services! I bought my wedding dress from a sample sale to save money. Golden Thread turned the dress, which was way too big initially, into my dream dress! They even attached sleeves, which made the look exactly what I wanted So grateful I trusted them with my wedding dress. I will be back for all alterations in the future. Side note: my entire family is on the east coast, and could not be with me while I tried on wedding dresses. The seamstress made me feel really special when I tried on my dress for the final fitting. It made me feel like it was my own auntie seeing me in a dress, which was very emotional. Thank you so so much

I arrived 4 months before my wedding. I gained weight from job stress and my unaltered dress looked like a hot mess on me. Everyone was so calm and reassured me that everything would be alright. They held on to my dress for me while giving me extra time to lose weight (which was my request). About 2 months before the wedding, the alteration work began and each time I came in for a fitting, the dress was looking much more like I had imagined it to look on my big day. Now look at it..... I mean LOOK AT IT! Their end result was PERFECT. I'm recommending any future brides to go to golden thread.

I got my wedding dress altered here and it turned out perfect! Woo and his mother were super friendly and made me feel so comfortable. They really paid attention to the details and made sure everything fit just right. Totally recommend! My dress fit perfectly!

Dress hemmed to perfection

Honestly I have never had much alterations done and now I'm not sure why. It was such an easy process and high quality work. I had them alter a dress that had straps that were way too long and I had them take it up a few inches. The dress was so much better after! Very happy that I found this place!

VIP service comes with a price, but in this case - worth every penny. You get more than what you…read morepay for. If you are a bride, bridesmaid or have an important dress/outfit needing expert alterations, this is the place. I can't believe how great of a job they did. I asked them to hem, and do "work on my bridesmaid dress" to cover my cleavage and shorten the straps. The expert seamstresses came up with an idea to reuse the hemmed fabric to add a much needed inch to the draping of the bodice to cover my over exposed cleavage. They were able to do a rush job turnaround in a week, and the results were stunning. I would have been embarrassed to show so much skin, but they did such a beautiful job that the bride loved the dress on me even more. And their store location is beautiful. It was truly a VIP experience. See my before selfie. I'm quite exposed. And then the end result with a more modest finish.

It's been almost 7 years since I started coming here and I can't believe I haven't posted a review…read more Jila is one of the most attentive and passionate tailors I have ever met. Her attention to detail and knowledge of fabric, cut and style is impeccable. If I need something to fit me like a glove, I do not go anywhere else. I trust her with my everyday items, casual, business, etc. i'm so thankful for the day my husband introduced me to her. Her boutique is quaint and pretty and has a curated selection of clothing and accessories from all over the world. She made me look beautiful on my wedding day and did a great job of altering my Anthropologie gown.
