The image shows a bride wearing a white wedding dress with detailed embroidery and bead embellishments on the bodice. Her hands are clasped in front of her, displaying a ring on her left hand. The background is slightly blurred, indicating an outdoor setting, possibly a wedding venue or garden. The focus is on the upper part of the dress and her hands, highlighting the intricate details of the gown and the ring.

If I could give more stars I surely would! We have been going to Lolita for a couple years now so when it came time to have alterations made to my wedding dress, there was no one I trusted more than her to do them. Even with custom shoulder pieces and intricate design, she quickly made my dress fit more perfect than I could have hoped for!! She is Absolutely amazing at what she does and so kind at the same time. I recommend LD Alterations to any and all!!

I bought my dress on StillWhite, and accidentally ordered it too small. I was hesitant to have it altered, even though it was necessary, but after reading the reviews for LD Alterations, I decided to bite the bullet. We had 3 appointments: one for the top (we added a corset), one for the bottom (hemming and bustle added), and one for final try on/pickup. She made it a wonderful and seamless experience. In total, it took about a month for my dress to be reworked a decent amount. My wedding is in three days, so I don't have any professional pictures to post here yet; but I was too excited to hold off my review any longer. If you're looking for high value, affordable dress alterations, I highly recommend! I cannot thank her enough.

I took my gala dress to her to have it taken in and hemmed, and she did an incredible job! Very friendly and fairly priced.

LD Alterations (Indianapolis, IN) - The image shows a close-up of a person’s hands fastening small buttons on the back of a wedding dress. The dress features lace details and a row of fabric-covered buttons. The background includes a blurred interior setting, possibly a dressing room or preparation area. The focus is on the delicate task of buttoning the dress, highlighting the intricate lace and fabric textures.

My daughter purchased her wedding gown from Blue House Bridal and was referred to a local seamstress that the boutique customarily recommends for necessary alterations (that I will not mention by name). After several fittings to address concerns with the costly alterations, my daughter was at a complete loss and extremely disappointed with the end results and was highly considering the need to possibly purchase a different wedding dress. My daughter located LD Alterations via social media reviews and was able to be seen the same day for necessary alterations the day prior to her wedding. The owner/seamstress could not have been any kinder, she was an absolute angel and did a magnificent job of altering the gown the very same day......a true miracle worker! Very happy to share some photos of the end result. Would highly recommend!

I went in for a few different fittings and LD altered it perfectly!

Ask the Community - LD Alterations

How much is tapering and hemming for jeans and pants? How long would they take?

Give her a call and see if she can give an estimate. She had 4 items done for me in a day so don't see that taking any longer, depending on how busy she is.

I really wanted to have a great experience here, but unfortunately, my wedding dress alterations…read morewere filled with miscommunication, mistakes, and ultimately disappointment. At my initial appointment, I discussed several fairly straightforward alterations: taking in the dress, adding sleeves, closing the slit a bit, and adding a bustle. I was quoted for those services. At no point was I asked to put on heels to determine the hem, so I was surprised when I received a call days later with a new quote including hemming--something we hadn't discussed and couldn't have accurately determined without heels. At my second appointment (wearing heels), we agreed the length was perfect and no hem was needed. We finalized the price without the hem. The seamstress was unable to pin through the material to properly assess how much the dress needed to be taken in, but I trusted her judgment and was told we'd evaluate it again at the next visit. When I came back, a different seamstress informed me that the dress had already been hemmed--despite the prior agreement--and I'd be charged for it. I was told the hemming had already been done before my second fitting. To resolve it, she asked if I'd pay to finish hemming the remaining layers and I reluctantly agreed. She also had to take the dress in more--again, something that should've been handled earlier. At my final appointment, we added the bustle. I asked if the dress would be steamed and was told that it wouldn't be, as we hadn't agreed on that earlier and that the dress had come in "dirty" (it hadn't--it was brand new from the boutique). I was offered a discounted price for steaming and accepted it. When I arrived to pick up my dress, they had trouble locating it--it took about 10 minutes. Once I got it home, it was clear the dress had not been steamed. The sleeves that were added were poorly sewn and I had to reinforce them myself. A clasp that was supposedly fixed fell off just days before the wedding. I had to take the dress elsewhere to fix the clasp and have it professionally steamed. I did reach out to the owner about these issues, and to her credit, she reimbursed me most of what I paid via check (since their payment system was down). But even after all of that, on my actual wedding day, the bustle broke less than two hours into the reception, and I had to change. The dress also never fit properly despite asking at every appointment to take it in more. It was visibly too big and I spent my wedding day pulling it up constantly. I would not recommend Donna's Alterations for wedding dress alterations. My dress didn't require anything overly complex, but the experience was inconsistent, the quality was disappointing, and the lack of attention to detail created unnecessary stress during what should have been a joyful time. (All photos are work from Donna's Alterations before having it all fixed) I wish I had taken more photos

If you're having a bad day, just know that your day could be so much worse if you take your clothes…read moreto Donna's alterations. Updates on my experience: It's Wednesday, my dress still isn't ready. But no worries, communication has improved except my name isn't Jamie and my dress isn't a size large. This place deserves 0 stars, I did buy a new dress and if they charge me for alterations on a dress that wasn't ready for 3 weeks I'll cut my loses and leave it there. What a shame. Do better @Donna's Alterations. p.s. Sorry you're going through the same thing Jamie Edit to Wed. afternoon: I was able to pick up my dress today... and... I was feeling better when I went to pickup the dress because the original worker was there and the guy cashing me out was much nicer. That being said, the only difference between my dress two weeks ago now and today is that there is fabric sewed on crooked. There is no sweetheart alteration to the neckline, it's the exact same. I payed $139 for them to sew on lace. To the original neckline. That's right, quite literally would have saved time and money if I left the dress there. SO THANKFUL I HAVE A BACKUP DRESS. This place truly deserves 0 stars. What a disappointment. Glad I prepared for the worst outcome because that's exactly what I got.
