My wedding coordinator recommended Costura Lab for wedding dress alterations and I'm so thankful…read moreshe did! Sofia is so fun, sweet, and easy to work with. She took every one of my requests and concerns very seriously and worked tirelessly to leave me feeling totally comfortable and confident! My dress is completely covered in beading and very heavy as a result which added to the challenge. She hemmed (which, because of the beading, involved hammering one bead at a time), moved and shortened straps (multiple times until I was 100% happy), added four bustles (first adding two, and then designing strategic and beautiful placement of two more), and painstakingly hand-stitched (while squatting on the floor for two hours) around the hem to "glue" many inner layers together (to keep me from tripping on inner layers of tulle). She also tailored a silk shawl cover-up and made a beautiful scarf out of the excess silk. In the middle of all that work, I also came to her with a new need to somehow make the dress a lot more modest - I couldn't find anything that would work with my dress from bridal shops - so she designed and made two mesh long sleeve tops to wear under my dress. She made sure the beauty of my dress would not be compromised by the cover-up! By then I had very little time to make it downtown, so I took my own measurements and texted them to her, and the shirts still magically turned out perfect. I am someone that avoids downtown as much as possible, but I'll be making the pilgrimage a lot more often now to entrust the rest of my wardrobe to Sofia. Thank you Costura Lab!!!

Fernando De Manila has become my go-to place for tailoring and alterations. Tita Laida and her team…read moreare true experts, and they consistently finish projects ahead of schedule. They've altered two long-sleeve barongs into short sleeves (one of which I purchased from their shop). I've also had shorts hemmed and a zipper replaced. Overall, I'm very happy with their work.

This business is great for standard tailoring, hemming. However, if you're looking for creativity,…read moreskill, and time management do NOT come here. If you're looking for typical and traditional barongs and boleros they're also great, however if I had known what I knew before coming here i would have been better off ordering from barong world and barong warehouse, etc, and yes I am pinay. My reason for a low rating is I researched Filipino dressmakers and signs pointed to this business. I brought my request and vision to FDM in March 2023, my wedding was December 2023. I showed her a picture of what I wanted and we drafted a plan. First red flag was she suggested satin for my top, to which I was thinking it would just be used for the filipiniana sleeves. My inspo pic that I wanted did nit have satin. Anyway Before i left my initial appointment she said it would be "ready" around June. I text her in July and she said theyre not going to start on my clothes (and my moms) until August. 2nd red flag. Come October she texts me my top is ready and i'm excited because FINALLY. I went to try the top and its all satin. Definitely not my vision; the top is thick and i cannot move in it because satin is unforgiving and non breathable. And i told her from the beginning this will be the outfit i will be changing and dancing into after my wedding gown. By the way the pants are not ready yet. Also I need to buy more liner for them. So i return weeks later (as im driving back and forth norwalk to hollywood) to drop off the material. At this point this is now a mercy project because even though I came 7 months earlier they did NOT start on my wedding clothes until now. Im hoping for the best for my pants. 2nd week of December my pants are ready. My wedding is also 22 days away at this point. It's a nightmare. The crotch was too high and the waist was tight. I also lost about 20 pounds from my initial measurements so that was confusing. I also asked her to put an elastic waistband as the design is for a palazzo wide leg with pleats look. There wasn't any of that. I tried to make suggestions to see if we can add/ change the pants but of course "theres not enough time." I return 15 days before my wedding and they make some changes but it's still terrible. No matter how many times i put it on, trying it with leggings and shapewear the quality is just poor with bad stitching and i'm scrambling in my head how to rescue my vision. Because I was already worried about the result of my outfit I ordered white pants online from various retailers as a substitute, and thank GOD I did. They came in on time, but remember the stiff satin blouse? That also became a nightmare to work with. Here is why I was furious: 1. I trusted a professional, yes she's a boomer but I still put faith in her experience but I should have been more specific and made detailed suggestions and maybe even show MORE photos. Or maybe even took more direction, but I'm also not the professional dress maker here. ALSO, in my experience constructing a tailored dress from scratch takes time! This is why I came to her in March/April. If something didn't work out, we could make changes to the material or design. The fact that my items were NOT fitted 1-2 months before my wedding is not excusable. Her excuse was that they had other orders that needed to be finished before mine and my moms. (fortunately i was able to suggest another added piece to my moms fit that made it look better than the original.) 2. My money, time, and gas were wasted. For my pieces alone with the fabric I spent around $700. Also driving from Norwalk to Hollywood each time to be disappointed was not fun. Thank God I was able to find another seamstress in orange county who could fix my satin filipiniana 6 days before the wedding. I'm ready to close this review and not look back. I will add that my husband's custom barong ($300) mom's clothes (all satin ensemble costing $500) ended up fine, and nice, but my mom is older and forgiving. I hyped her up a lot lol. As for my vision and those who want something modern, be warned and very careful coming here. All I will say is this, thank the Lord for Shein. Still give this business a try. However this was my honest experience for the services I was seeking and I will not be returning.

She worked on my two…read morevintage wedding dresses, my veil, and even my sister's bridesmaids dress, and I could not have asked for a better person to trust with such meaningful pieces. I found my dresses through Saturn Bridal and Depop, so they were both unique vintage pieces that required a lot of care and a very thoughtful eye. Magdalena understood exactly what each dress needed and brought so much expertise, patience, and care to the entire process. I trusted her completely and genuinely valued every recommendation she made. She is incredibly talented, professional, thoughtful, and timely, but beyond all of that, she is just such a lovely person. She made what could have been a stressful process feel easy and exciting, and I always felt like my dresses were in the best possible hands. She has such a beautiful eye for tailoring and an incredible ability to understand how a garment should fit while still preserving what makes it special. I haven't added photos yet because my wedding hasn't happened quite yet, but PLEASE trust me when I say you are in the best hands with Magdalena. I cannot wait to finally see everything come together on my wedding day, and I already know I will be so grateful that I trusted her with these dresses. I will absolutely be coming back to her for any future tailoring and will be recommending her to everyone I know. If you are looking for someone incredibly skilled, trustworthy, talented, and genuinely wonderful to work with, look no further. Magdalena is truly one of a kind, and I feel so lucky to have found her!

Not only did she offer the best, most reasonable prices around, but she also did a superb job! My dress was from Luv Bridal in Westminster. Luv Bridal recommended I order the dress on the bigger side for alterations, but when it arrived it was clearly one size too big.
