Got a flower girl dress for my daughter done here. Cool store. Great vibes.

3 stars because I was overall happy with my dress but I will attach a photo of the gap they left. I noticed it and asked if it would be fixed and they said it would but clearly didn't. I did not gain any weight so this was a mistake on their part. I wouldn't come back here or recommend them. The girls honestly aren't very nice. They watch you hop around and struggle. Kind of weird. Not a normal experience for me in a tailor. They did get my dress mostly looking how I wanted in a short time though. read more

Kira Elizabeth Design Studio - Weird gap they left. And no I didn't gain any weight - Bridal Near Me - Mount Pleasant, South Carolina

Kira Elizabeth Designs was the best choice for my wedding dress alterations! They were super friendly, easy to schedule with, and willing to make last minute adjustments as needed. Kira even put a hole in my pocket perfect for my insulin pump tubing so that even my medical needs could be handled by my dress. They are a lovely team and I would definitely recommend! read more

I am so jealous that many people had great experiences with Kira and her team. I unfortunately did not have the best experience. To preface, I recently moved to the area and I only had one month for alterations. In my home town 8 hours away, I have had the same seamstress for 10 years and have never had any issues like I have here. During my first appointment, Kira's team was not very personable. She seemed uninterested in being there and it felt like I was a bother coming into the shop. She was sick that day so maybe that is why it felt that way but I continued to feel that way at the following 6 appointments. I was really hoping I would be meeting with someone who was super upbeat and excited since this was going to be the dress for the biggest day of my life but that was not the case. During my first appointment, she did not ask me how I wanted my dress to look, she just started pinning the top. I later learned that she has no seamstress experience and I believe that is what caused a lot of the issues. She was not pinning the dress correctly. I think I had one or two more appointments after this at which the dress was still not close to how I wanted it to look. When I first met Kira at I believe my third or fourth appointment, she was very nice and put me at ease with how my dress would look. At my second to last appointment she was a bit rude and at one point stopped speaking to me and walked away but at least she was pinning my dress correctly and more in line with my vision than her assistant was so I just let it happen as I didn't have another choice. It took 6 fittings to get the dress to be altered from top to bottom and it was still not how I wanted it to be. I showed the assistant a picture of how I envisioned it being and it was nothing like that. They made the dress too tight to where I could not breathe but blamed it on me being bloated. I asked them if they recalled pinning it at a previous appointment and maybe it just got taken in too tight and they said no you're just bloated. I ended up telling them that I had a picture where they did in fact pin it the previous appointment and they took it in too much by mistake. They did not apologize or own up to the mistake. They told me the whole time they needed to take in the top and sides of the dress before they did the hem so it would not be too short but they ended up doing the sides and hem at the same time which did in fact make my dress too short. There was puckering down the side of my dress that they said they could not fix. I spoke with another seamstress and this is easily fixable and is typically due to poor seamstress work. At one point, they pinned down the sides the way I wanted it but said they would not cut the fabric until I decided I liked it. At the next appointment Kira was there and seemed nervous and kept ensuring me I would love the dress. I realized the reason she was saying this was because they accidentally cut the fabric out but was she honest with me about that? No. I have had many dresses altered in my life and have never experienced something like this. My seamstress back at home took in a dress 7 sizes for me in a month and it looked perfect. This dress was almost my size and was the most difficult experience I have ever had. I just moved here within the past year and trusted the recommendation from the dress shop I purchased my dress from and am highly disappointed they would recommend Kira. When I picked up my wedding dress, it did mostly turn out the way that I wanted it to other than the back as they just took it in too much (see photo for how it was supposed to look vs how mine looked. The strap and fabric are up under by armpit not my back and therefore the straps kept falling off.). They did let out the bust of the dress as much as they could, fixed the puckering, and it ended up looking how I mostly wanted it to but the process was honestly so stressful and exhausting and it shouldn't have been. I also just wish they were up front and honest with me instead of hiding their mistakes. Having that transparency would have changed this review quite a bit for me. I would not recommend going here and if you do please just have proof of everything, let them know what you want, and make sure you stand up for yourself. It is your day, not theirs. read more

See all

Do not let her touch your wedding dress!!!! I had the worst experience. She ruined my dress and charged me hundreds of dollars to do it. I was not able to try on my dress when I picked it up due to COVID. Got it home and it didn't even come close to fitting. It was taken in way too much and I am not the first person this has happened to based on her reviews. My dress barely needed altering and she grossly over charged me. There is a hole in the lace and the bra cup on one side is FLOATING in the bodice of the dress when I specifically said I did not want the bra cups touched. The dress was not hemmed and she will not respond to my calls. She was extremely rude in all of mg dealings with her and she and her staff clearly do poor work. Stay far away. read more

Kira Elizabeth Design Studio - Bridal Near Me - Mount Pleasant, South Carolina

As a covid bride I was so nervous about fitting into my wedding gown. We had a destination wedding and I had tried my gown on 8 months prior. Covid happened and I felt so anxious about needing last minute alterations. Kira was able to fit me in last minute for a fitting. She was so welcoming and made me feel so comfortable. Her studio is beautiful. I loved her custom gowns she had designed. She sure does have a talent for design and alterations. She was very knowledgeable in the fabrics and designs and how to care for them. She gave me some great advice for my wedding gown the day of! I would definitely recommend Kira, she was great to work with! read more

Yes, I recommend...if you want your dress ruined. She literally ruined my friend's wedding dress. And didn't give a crap that she had done so. Where is the accountability? Take responsibility for your shoddy work! She charged an exorbitant fee to literally ruin a dress - she cut out fabric that she was told to leave alone...leaving a 2" gap in the back of the dress. She ripped the lace of the dress also...and the mistakes continue on and on. Why did we pay for such crap? Because "due to covid I can't let you actually touch or try on the dress until you pay." Then wouldn't let the dress be tried on because we needed to leave the store immediately upon payment. And now she won't return calls to help find a resolution. DON'T LET HER NEAR ANYTHING YOU NEED ALTERED!!! You would be better off letting my 3 year old niece use her Barbie sewing kit. ***In response to their response below - No, we have not met. As I stated in the review, I am a bridesmaid and have firsthand knowledge of your work through my friend - the bride. And I saw the results of your 'work'. So I do know what I am talking about. Ripped lace. A 2 inch gap in the back of the dress - when that was not supposed to be adjusted. The left side bra cup detached in the bodice of the gown...I could go on regarding the terrible craftsmanship. We all understand about the covid pandemic. We all are living it. But that doesn't excuse destruction of property - and these gross mistakes were not small 'tweaks' that would have been corrected with a fitting. read more

My gown was not ready after 2 visits there! The alterations were not done the way I asked!

The atmosphere at Kira Elizabeth Design Studio is so relaxing and fun! I would highly recommend Kira and her assistant, Nicole for all your Bridal alteration needs. My prom dress became a perfect fit! read more

Kira designed and made me a custom gown for my wedding. It fit perfectly and the entire process was effortless and stress-free. Kira is beyond talented and the only person I would trust with my dress. Kira has more experience than the vast majority of seamstresses out there, especially when it comes to gowns and working with fine fabrics. Do it right - work with Kira. She will take better care of your dress than anyone else out there. read more

Kira is an amazingly talented young woman! I loved my dress when I bought it - but I absolutely adored it by the time Kira was finished with it. It was a complicated project and one that {at times} seemed impossible. But Kira was always encouraging and confident - and for good reason! I would recommend her to any bride. She will not only be a pleasure to work with, she will make you look your absolute best on your big day! read more
