It can be difficult as a bride to find the "one and only" tailor right for you and the one dress…read moreyou have. I noted the questions tailors I reached out to would ask, their price quotes, and recommendations. Linda left a positive impression with her prompt responses and honest input. Because Linda works from her house rather than at a facility where additional charges are incurred, she was also more affordable. EXPERIENCE: While I had these thoughts going in, Linda continued to surprise me. It was apparent that Linda was experienced and knew what was important. She asked me to bring my wedding shoes and encouraged me to sit, walk around, and move with the dress to make sure that where the dress hit would work for the day of during our second fitting. She also made adjustments as we went, requiring additional work on her end to make things just right. CHANGES: Linda was extremely detailed in explaining the changes that would be required with the dress; I had bought the dress one size too large (I just listened to what the wedding shop said). In addition to the mandatory shortening of the dress, she had to trim pieces of the top so that it didn't hit my neck awkwardly. She also brought in the back of the dress. All of this required removal and readdition of the lace afterwards. Linda helped to add cups with the dress and also bustled it, which I was told later can be a challenge with the layers of tulle. Linda was someone I could consult my ideas with and will not say "yes" to everything a bride wants. I liked this about her, because I asked for more poof to my dress, and she advised against it, explaining how the material of tulle with other material used to add poof could take away from the flow and delicacy of the dress. She was open to doing it if I wanted to, but her reasoning made me drop the idea, and I am glad I did. CHANGES / BUSTLE: I didn't realize Linda would end up adding clear buttons for the bustle. It threw me off to see them on my dress, and I admittedly became the stereotypical over-worried bride. I am happy to say that the Xpert knew what she was doing- it wasn't visible in any of the wedding pictures and I almost forgot I had worried unnecessarily about it. For brides who do want to be informed throughout the process I would advise asking to make sure expectations are in alignment. To emphasize, there was nothing negative about my experience, but knowing how brides can get, I'm just adding this as something to consider :) The bustle was a little harder for my bridesmaids to do, likely due to the tulle material. Linda drew a diagram for my bridesmaids to follow and let me record her explaining how to do the bustle. She also advised that my bridesmaids practice the day before. Unfortunately, I wasn't insistent on this with my bridesmaids, who said it looked straightforward enough, so we ended up spending nearly an hour getting the bustle and were late to the reception (something for others to think about for their day of!) COST: Knowing the cost of tailoring my friends had gone through, the quoted price was much better than I was expecting, provided all of the changes. Linda was very transparent with the work she needed to complete, and the time that it would take given the changes. For brides with a budget, I would recommend going in with a set amount and idea, but knowing that if there are additional changes that you hadn't thought of, be flexible and understanding that something may need to give (perhaps not all of the recommended alterations can be done, for example). I felt it was reasonable and that Linda's expertise was certainly worth it. COMMUNICATION / SCHEDULING: When working with Linda, be sure to be clear of the dates and timelines. I erroneously thought we had a meeting a different day because she had suggested meeting in 3 weeks, and I may have accidentally marked a date, but didn't confirm this with her. Linda is very responsive through text, so there will not be a problem with going back and forth to plan logistics. It was also a plus that she was flexible and had later hours and weekends available. TIMELINE: Everyone's experience will be different; I ended up having 3 total trips. - June 19: First trip for estimate and review of needed changes - July 14: Second dress fitting; additional modifications to planned changes based on progress thus far - July 20: Dress completed - August 3: Dress picked up, bustling instructions shared Linda treats you like a sister by the end of the journey. She is truly talented, and an artist in her own right, expressed through the beauty of her completed dresses. The last thing you want is to worry about is your wedding dress not fitting right the day of, where thousands of dollars are already spent. With Linda, my dress looked beautiful the day of. I was comfortable and able to dance the night away with ease; my dress did not get caught once, even as I danced to Gangnam Style. I am extremely grateful for her services.

I needed not only a mother of the bride dress hemmed, but I needed the bust adjusted too. The bus part was complicated work and she did an amazing job. Her prices are not inexpensive, but the work is quality and perfect. She adjusted everything one time fixed it perfectly and it was exactly as I wanted it when I arrived to pick it up. I highly recommend this woman for any Important tailoring needs that you might have. She works out of her home. It has a separate entrance for the business part. She was very personable and business like. I also appreciated the ring doorbell and security cameras all around since I was going to what look like a private home When I walked in to the business part of her home, it was all dresses and looked like I walked into a tailoring shop or laundromat type facility.

I came to her with an impossible request, and she made the dress of my DREAMS. The dress was truly couture, and that was made possible by the hands of Tatiana. With every consultation and appointment we had, Tatiana and her team was kind, honest, and professional. I felt so seen and heard in my notes and questions, and Tatiana made the process such a wonderful experience for me. You can tell this is her passion, and she truly cares for every bride that walks through her doors. Our appointments were some of the best parts of the wedding process for me. She is so knowledgeable in this industry, and I felt so comfortable throughout the design and fitting process. 100/10 from me! A week before the wedding, a dress we had ordered for my mom was scheduled to be delivered late, which left her without anything for my wedding. When we came to Tatiana to pick my dress up and finalize the details for the gown, we happened to start discussing my mom's dress - to which we explained the situation at hand. Without a second thought, Tatiana opened the shop for us, helped us pick a dress off the rack (which was better than anything we could have found in store or online) and she immediately began fitting my mom and adjusting what needed to be hemmed. Tatiana made sure that the dress would be ready (mind you this is less than a weeks notice...). She quite literally saved the wedding! Her kindness and understanding for her customers is above anything I have seen in this industry, and it's so rare to find people like this now. There is no question that Tatiana is the best at what she does. Her talent is remarkable. If you want the best, Valentino's Bridal is where you need to go. Tatiana goes above and beyond for her brides, and she will make sure your experience is perfect - she is the BEST!

She refused to admit they were too long and gave me a hard time about re-altering them-wanted to charge me full price to re-alter them! At that point I should have gone elsewhere-my bad! The second alteration she did for us was way too short and the pant legs were actually different lengths according to the tailor we ended up getting them re-altered (again) at. I spent a LOT of money here and ended up having to go to another place and pay for the third time to get my items altered. All that being said, she is not kind. Very demeaning and condescending. Just a grumpy and disgruntled tailor. Very sad. I would have loved to use this local business.

I need all - and I mean ALL of my dress clothes adjusted! Maria, the owner/operator of Bravo alterations, is a sweet older woman from Sicily. She is pleasant, enjoyable, and a master seamstress. It make take some added concentration to understand her Italian accent, but it's worth it. As I have spent time in the shop being measured and pinned, I have had the opportunity to hear a bit of her story. After learning to sew in Kindergarten, she continued in this profession for her entire life - spending the last half of her life here in the US. Maria is not just an alterations specialist. She can build dresses, suits, shirts, and just about anything else from scratch. This matters because she knows how clothing is put together, not just how make minor adjustments. Knowing how the entire garment goes together makes a world of difference. When I take my clothes to her I would have never known they were tailored. The only evidence that the garment was taken apart and put back together is the perfect fit that results. Maria is old school. You will see that from the tools of her trade in the shop. But in the area of alterations, sometimes old school is best. She knows what she is doing AND does it at a reasonable price. For example, Maria charges $35 to shorten the arms on a suit jacket. To some that might seem high. In actuality, to do this job right takes several hours. Maria does it right....always. You will not be disappointed.
