I would with the public and know how to treat people. Leah dose not! I brought 3 gowns in. Two were done right then the third had a problem with. She gets annoyed if you have a problem with something. She doesn't make you feel comfortable at all. She is very short and nasty and it was very pricey. I can go anywhere abs give my money to someone that does good work and knows how to be polite abs appreciate that you are giving them your business. Leah needs to work on her communication skills because she doesn't have any!!!! read more

My mom, sister and I have been going to Leah for yers. She is honest and trustworthy. We have had many dresses and pants hemmed, even dresses altered to be bigger so that she can continue to wear her favorite dresses after gaining some weight. I had my dress hemmed and altered by Leah. My sisters wedding was the day after Thanksgiving this year. The dress i bought had a faulty zipper as they usually are with a sequence gown. The day of the wedding it would not budge. Knowing that she was open on Friday, I called her up while I was getting ready. I asked her if i can come in so she can fix it. Although it couldn't be fixed at that time she sewed it up and I made it to the church in 20 min. She was a savior! I dont know what else I would have done if she wasnt available. read more

Came here to get a quote for minor alterations to my moms dress for my daughters wedding and was completely shocked by the outrageous price of $145.00 she quoted me for a hem and to take dress in by 1/2 inch on bodice only. 4 inches in length on each side of bodice.... it would have been a simple taking in that finishes in nothing... nothing complicated or intricate. The local Cleaners quoted me $50 for the hem and taking in on sides, but I just ended up doing myself.... always get two prices before shopping around for alterations... you can find going rates online for simple alterations. Don't allow establishments like this one to overcharge.... Was also very rude to me when I told her I did not want my moms shoes to show. She literally had the nerve to tell me that I was putting my mom in danger... she said that older people need their shoes to show . If I'm going somewhere and paying for a service like alterations... it gets done to my preference NOT THE PREFERENCE OF THE SEAMSTRESS. MY experience at this establishment was horrible. read more

Had a beautiful lace dress custome made for me for an African wedding. It was beautiful! The fit was perfect. The staff here is very friendly and they knew exactly what I wanted. I totally recommend Leah!! read more

See all

I'm the ultimate procrastinator. I scrambled looking for a seamstress to do last minute alterations and happened upon this place through a frantic google search. I called Leah, she told me to come in that day, we had a fitting and I left my extremely too long and poor fitting dress behind. Did I mention I dropped this dress off on a Thursday night, a week and a half before I'm supposed to leave for my destination wedding? Leah called me the following TUESDAY morning and it was finished! I picked it up, fit beautifully, and I'm ready to go get married thanks to her! She is also EXTREMELY reasonable with her pricing. I'm going to bring back some of my old bridesmaid dresses to turn into cocktail dresses! read more

My grandma was a quality assurance supervisor at David's Bridal for years. There wasn't a dress I wore that she couldn't take in/alter for me. Unfortunately, she broke her wrist in May and I had a bridesmaid dress for a wedding (yesterday)that was about 2-3 sizes too big on me. I came on Yelp to try and find a well reviewed seamstress that I'd hope would do something close to my grandma's work. I found Leah and went to her - I felt so comfortable and trusted her right away. Her price was reasonable (way lower than I thought) and she did the job in just over a week or so. When I went in for my 2nd fitting I was blown away. The dress fit perfectly. She did an amazing job. I recommend Leah for any dress alteration needs and look forward to keeping her as my 2nd go-to seamstress (assuming Grandma gets her wrist mobility back) ;)! read more

I yelped locations close to my job and there it was! Great reviews but what chance would I have to get my dress tailored. I had issues with my dress and it had just arrived the day before I went to La Robe. Let's just say I arrived at 12:30PM on a Thursday and Leah an her assistant had me go and try on my dress. Leah started measuring and marking the area where I needed adjustments and she asked me "when do I need the dress by?" and I replied "the latest tomorrow" she stated "you kidding, right?!" And I said "I wish I was!!!" I must say she was amazing, she had my gown ready at 5:30PM the same day!!! I was amazed of how fast and the work was done amazingly! My dress looked beautiful! I really am thankful that she was able to perform a miracle Thank you Leah! read more

Leah has worked magic for my girls (tweens & up) and me. From regular alterations to custom pieces. She has added sleeves and a back to a very expensive dress and they looked flawless. She also custom made a dress for my daughter that was perfect. Even when she first finished the dress and the entire bottom was laid out differently than I hoped, she re-did the entire part without fuss and with no extra charge. Her work is perfection! read more

Leah does excellent work....very happy with all the alterations she has done.... highly recommend her...

Leah does a phenomenal job!!! She's extremely easy to work with - 1 fitting, she called 3-4 weeks later to pick up and it was perfect!! She was trained in Paris and she knows exactly what she's doing! I highly recommend. read more

Excellent work on my wedding dress but customer service could be better/more welcoming

Leah is a miracle worker! I've used her many times to alter bridesmaid dresses. Whether the dress has been too big or too small, she's been able to work her magic and make me look beautiful for the event. Leah also understands what needs to go under a gown to make it look even better and will add cups or suggest undergarments when necessary. Since she is a dressmaker, she really understands how the garment needs to fit a woman's body. She will have you in for multiple fittings when needed to make sure the dress is perfect and always gives it a final steam as you pick it up. Her prices are more than fair for the beautiful work she does and her service is always quick. Her tailoring and service have always been so excellent that I plan to order the bridesmaid dresses for my wedding from her store. read more

This was my second trip to davids bridal trying to find the perfect bridesmaid dress .. and I must say joAnna is absolutely amazing .. she was patient and very very helpful.. she worked with all five of my girls and then again a second time with two of them..she has made this process so much easier.. she even went online to find color schemes for me .. my bridesmaids and I loved working with her and would recommend her to everyone ... thanks joAnna for being absolutely great at what you do read more

Leah does wonderful alterations. She took in my wedding gown that had such an intricate back. I still wonder how she did it. Her fee is also very reasonable and she gets the alterations done in a reasonable amount of time. If you need anything extra, she can help you find it, and she will help you make your dress look perfect. She was very friendly. Her store is a bit small, so you might miss is in the strip mall, but it's cozy. I would definitely recommend her. She also offers to press your dress prior to the wedding. read more

Ehh, came in to get the top cover of my wedding dress taken in a bit and to put some buttons on the bottom to hold my train for the reception. Buttons were great, the top cover was removable Leah just needed to move the buttons a little so it would fit snug. Well, I guess she didn't sew them on right because they definitely popped off as we were taking pictures. Had to remove the cover sooner than planned because it was dangling on one side. For what I paid, I could've done it myself. And it would've lasted all night. read more

Leah is phenomenal. Her work speaks for itself. She is honest and affordable. Leah told me.to.come.over the same day I called. My dress was purchased at a sample sale from Kleinfeld. It fit perfectly except I needed a hem and a bustle. They only do one price alterations. I was told by my consultant it was minimal work so don't alter at Kleinfeld. I lost weight so I needed more work on the top to be taken in. I was anxious to Take the dress to Leah but it worked out perfectly. She met my mom and I told me I didnt need a hem only a pettiskirt and a bustle. She took in the sides and sold me a garment bag. The whole thing was reasonably priced and she had the dress ready in 8 days. I was floored when she called me in. The dress fits perfectly. I cant loose anymore weight. She did so well my bridal party is going to use her too! Great experience...she is great! read more

Leah really knows her stuff! I was so nervous to get my wedding gown altered, but after a few minutes of watching her expertly move around me, knowing exactly where to set pins and advise on what alterations will be most flattering, I knew my gown was in good hands! She doesn't cut corners and does her alterations with care and precision. She really cares that your dress fits you perfectly and that you feel good and comfortable. I am so impressed! I am going to look and feel absolutely amazing on my wedding day, thanks to Leah! I cannot wait to wear my gown next week! I'm so pleased with her work, that she's also going to make a gown for me to wear to a wedding in December! read more

Great tailor, reasonable prices! Did bridesmaids dresses and wedding gown for me and my girls, did a great job, not much else to say!

What a great experience I had today.. I want there for my wedding gown .. Leah is super knowledgeable. Each gown she can change or alter anything I did or did not want... I purchased my gown there and added some custom pieces to it.. will recommend this place. read more

Leah must have changed a lot since 2008 (my wedding yr) bec I see bad reviews. I thought she was great !!! I brought in my wedding dress and she made it look like a million bucks. I was charged $200 which was such a bargain for an awesome transformation to the dress. She was a direct and told me exactly what she was going to do. She totally delivered. read more

Called to make an appointment to look at wedding gowns. The person who answered the phone said they were way too busy and that my wedding, one year from now, was too far away. I could come in and look, but they were far too busy for me to try gowns on, and then virtually hung up on me. With that kind of attitude, I will take my money where it's wanted. read more

Leah is awesome! For all the times i went to her with the need to make magic, she really did an awesome job. I tore a dress and thought it was unfixable but she worked her magic and you could not even tell. Ever since that first time many years ago, I have trusted her with my clothes! They are the best there. Never had a let down. Definitely recommend her to all! read more

Very nice alteration place. I needed alterations done for two pairs of jeans. I had both pairs done within 30 minutes or so, very professionally and fast. Very friendly and courteous. Recommend them for any alterations needs. read more

Leah was so incredibly nice and patient! My bridesmaids, and flower girl are getting their dresses from her, include alternations. Really glad I found this place. By the way, don't let the picture below fool you, the place is a lot nicer. read more

I am posting this review 2 years late because I didn't know she was on yelp. I got my wedding dress altered from here April 2013 . She did wonderful job exactly the way I wanted and price was decent as compare to David bridals from where I purchased my wedding dress. My Maid of honor also got her dress fitting from here and we all were happy. This month I am taking my close friend to get her dress alterations done, as I had wonderful experience and want my friend have the same experience with her wedding dress. read more

Ended up going here for my wedding dress alterations when the bridal shop's (where I purchased my dress) seamstress had to take off on short notice for a family emergency. At first I was nervous since I was now working on a shorter timeline and didn't know anything about this place. However- it was a blessing in disguise! Not only did Leah do AMAZING work, but she corrected some work the previous seamstress had started to do wrong AND she did it in one week. My dress fit me like a glove and so many people have commented on how well it fit me. Next time I need any alterations I know where to go! Leah is an expert in her field- she will not disappoint you! read more

My son needed a tuxedo for his senior prom. My husband had a very nice double breasted tuxedo which he'll NEVER fit into again. We took it to Leah and she did an AMAZING job with the tuxedo. Altered pants and jacket, and my very picky son now has a tuxedo for life. I've used Leah numerous times over the past 10 years and she's an excellent seamstress, highly recommended. read more

Leah was a little gruff upon introduction, as she was under a lot of stress during this bridal season and I had to remind her that I was not the previous difficult customer she had just finished working with. After that the experience was very helpful and efficient. She altered one dress PERFECTLY and added an embellishment to my 2nd dress IN LESS THAN TWO WEEKS. And her PRICE WAS PHENOMENALLY LOWER than what Davids Bridal wanted to charge me to deliver on the same day. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND LA ROBE BY LEAH. read more

One of the worst customer service experiences me or my fiance ever had. She called the store, looking to get a price quote on a wedding dress alteration. She was told to come down at any time, and when she arrived, she was told that in order to get an idea of the price she would need to put the dress on and have it pinned. During this whole time, Leah was curt and dismissive of my fiance's suggestions. It is one thing to give your customer a professional opinion that their ideas would not work, but this should be done with tact and courtesy. My fiance did not receive this expected level of respect during her visit. Leah pinned the dress and started to remove a bow so as to begin alterations, despite the fact that my fiance only wanted a price quote. Through these actions, the dress became torn in an area of mesh fabric. No remedy for this was offered, except for doing the alterations that my fiance was quoted. When I expressed to Leah my dissatisfaction with this customer service experience, I did not encounter somebody that was interested in rectifying the situation and earning my business. Instead, Leah complained about my fiance, claiming that she never requested a price. This is a bold-faced lie, and is an insult to my fiance, suggesting that she be so illogical as to ask for alterations to begin without first knowing how much the services would cost. She made no further attempt to treat me as a potential customer, instead raising her voice to rationalize her behavior and dismiss my concerns. I strongly recommend against going to this seamstress. If you feel that you must due to prices or location, be forewarned; make yourself as explicit as possible, and be prepared for a potentially terrible experience in which you appear to be more of a bother to the business than a valued customer. The conclusion of this saga was a trip to the nearby Gangemi custom tailors for the alterations. The difference in service was astounding, and we were very pleased with Gangemi. read more

After purchasing my dream bridal dress from Kleinfeld during their annual sample sale, I was disheartened by the astronomically high alteration prices which were the equivalent of a second bridal dress, if not someone's wedding dress at the very least. After hearing horror stories from brides who took their dresses to mom & pop shops with disastrous results, I was no doubt nervous. My sister came to rescue with a seamstress known as the best in Westchester. We visited Leah La Robe 3 months before my destination wedding in Spain for dress alterations. We were shocked to hear that the owner Leah had been in a very bad accident & rehabilitating. That's when her daughter Alana not only took excellent care of me, but also absolutely blew me away with her credentials - Alana is a designer herself - by both trade & passion with a degree. She has worked alongside her mom virtually her whole life and has herself created dresses & bridal gowns (I was able to witness one of her beautiful works in person.) Alana was not only very honest in what work I needed done to perfect my dress, but very reasonably priced as well. The shop's timeline worked perfectly with my travel itinerary, short of just bringing Alana with me to Barcelona. She revised the alteration vision with me from a 3 point bustle to a 5 point bustle, pulled in my straps, tapered the bodice in just a bit (I had to make sure I could still sit & dance ;) in it) & because I was so attached to the horsehair trim on my dress that I could not bear chopping it up, Alana respected my wishes, and completed side to side hem work. I was so pleased with her professionalism, timeliness, & expertise, that I brought my mother-in-law, two maids of honor, and bridesmaids here for their dress alterations as well. All of the dresses were perfectly altered whether with added boning, hemming, pulling in to resize/reshape, & the creation of shawls with leftover material. My final fitting was nothing shy of perfection & Leah was back in the shop & providing me with spot cleaning tips for the day of. As a bride, I could not recommend Alana & the shop anymore than I already have. She was a pleasure to work with, skilled, reassuring, and fair - essentially everything you look for when altering your bridal gown - THANK YOU! I will definitely return in the future for any formal attire alteration needs & 100% recommend to any bride out there! read more

Unbelievably. Bad. I brought a wedding dress to Leah for some very simple alterations - a tuck up top, a bustle, a button that needed replacing. Leah did an initial fitting and told me to come back in 3 weeks, making an appointment for 4pm on a Wednesday. When I got there for my appointment there was a sign on the door - "closed for Jewish holidays at 4pm" - a phone call would have been nice. I called to reschedule my appointment and was given an appointment for 2pm on Friday. When I arrived on Friday Leah was nowhere to be seen so I put on my dress...and discovered she had not even started on the alterations!! I was livid and ready to walk out the door, but with 2 weeks to go until my wedding my Mother convinced me I had to let Leah finish the dress. I returned on Sunday for a final fitting. The alterations had been done but with little care and for a lot of money - it should not cost $300 and an extra trip to Yonkers for a tuck, a bustle, and a button. I love my wedding dress but I regret ever working with Leah - my bustle broke less than 5 minutes after I bustled my dress and my train ended up a dirty mess as a result. I would warn any customer to stay away - overpriced, horrible customer service and poor workmanship, I pity the bride who chooses to have her alterations done by Leah. read more

I went to La Robe in search of a wedding gown. Unfortunately, the owner there doesn't know how to deal with customers, especially brides. One of the first things she said to me was, "you are a size 16", but I am really a 10. That comment made me feel terrible about myself and it made me feel extremely self-conscious. She continues to say maybe you are a size 10 in your upper body but not in your hips. In addition, the dresses there are also cheaply made and quite frankly ugly. I never write reviews, but I felt the need to write one because I don't want this horrid women to ruin another bride's experience wedding dress shopping. read more

Alanna is so sweet and although I brought a dress to her with limited time, she got the job done! She created a corset back to my bridesmaid dress that was too small, and did so in only three days! I will be going to her again for another alteration. Her work is amazing! read more

My mom and I found La Robe by Leah by accident. I just started looking at wedding dresses online, so for our first trying-on session we had an appointment at another bridal shop. Before we left we saw it only had 1 star on Yelp - no thanks - so we did a quick search and saw Leah had the highest rating in the area. We went over there without an appointment, thinking that we might just get to look around if nothing else. Leah was awesome! She was so helpful and very willing to help to guide us through what we might be interested in. I tried on 5 dresses and she explained the alterations that could be done. She does alterations, men's clothes, children's clothes, jewelry, accessories, even invitations! We didn't walk out with a dress, because we really were just getting a feel for what I was interested in, but we did get a lot of knowledge and I can't want to go back and work more closely with her! read more

Leah did my gown fitting for my wedding a few years ago-I should have posted sooner! Beyond just doing the fitting she completely remade the top of the gown from a halter top to a two-strap design. I was so happy with her work, her level of professionalism, her rates, and her ability to perfectly predict how much to take on my dress based on my ongoing pre-wedding slim down. Since then my husband and I have gone to her for alterations to pants and trousers and she has continued to produce top-notch work. I highly recommend her! read more

Did a great job on altering my bridal dress. Other than the lack of communication everything else was great. I would recommend everyone to go here. read more

Leah has altered two dresses for me and both times I was completely satisfied. She is very personable and knowledgeable. I highly recommend her services and there is parking. read more
