    Marina did an absolutely beautiful job tailoring my wedding dress to fit me perfectly. I cannot recommend her enough. My dress had multiple parts to it, including several layers of tulle, delicate lace, and a bolero. The dress was hemmed to fit my height at 5'2, which involved hemming the dress from the waist to avoid removing the beautiful floral lace design at the bottom of the dress. Marina amazingly removed and then resewed the lace at the waistline, and I could not even tell that the lace was resewn. In addition to hemming the dress, Marina also added a 5-point bustle that allowed me to easily move and dance in my dress all night after the ceremony. My cousin, who bustled my dress the day of, said this was the easiest dress she had ever bustled. Marina also did some adjustments to the bust area of my dress and replaced the thin spaghetti straps that originally came with my dress with a set of floral lace straps that were much more supportive and beautiful. And lastly, Marina also tailored the bolero to fit me perfectly! The bolero was made of extremely thin and delicate lace fabric, and Marina did a phenomenal job tailoring it to fit my frame. If you are looking for someone to alter your wedding dress, Marina and her team at Le Caprice will do an amazing job. I would not trust anyone else to work with my dress. Thank you, Marina!

    Marina and her team at Le Caprice we absolutely amazing to work with. I only came in twice before my dress was tailed to perfection. Marina is exceptional and talented! She has a keen eye for what will look best and brought my vision to life after showing her an inspiration photo of my bridal jacket that she created from fabric I bought. She added buttons and loops to the back of my dress to cover an ugly zipper and also made my double French bustle look perfect. The whole process was stress free and her confidence made me sure my dress was going to fit perfectly. When I was trying it on at a fitting I said, "I hope it will fit", and her immediate response was, "Of course it's going to fit, I measured you." And boy was she right! It zipped up perfectly snug! Exactly how I wanted it. My dress was a ballgown style and I knew it would not fall down or feel heavy (if a ballgown is not tailored correctly and is too big. It will feel extremely heavy and will fall down as the day goes on). I love how Marina is sure of her work. I have since brought her a few more dresses and they have all been perfect fits. Thank you Marina and your lovely team!! Can't wait until I get to work with you again!

    I am so thankful for Le Caprice! Just about a week before my wedding, I realized I needed my Chinese tea ceremony dress altered. Upon calling them, Marina told me I could drop by the next day and the timeline shouldn't be a problem. The fitting took all of 5 minutes and I was on my way. I picked up the dress after a few days and the dress fit absolutely perfectly. The price was super fair for such a rush order. The entire process was easy and seamless, especially during such a stressful time.

    Marina is AMAZING!! I've brought in several bridesmaid and wedding dresses to be altered and she's always super efficient and straightforward during the appointments. Her prices are very reasonable, I've told some friends about how much it cost to get my dress altered and the quotes they got were always pricier than Marina's. Couple months ago, a friend was panicking about her wedding coming up and her dress still not fitting quite right (despite costly alterations from her original seamstress), and Marina was able to fit her in for an appointment and get it perfectly altered just in time for the wedding! My own wedding is coming up soon too, so I'm glad that Marina was able to see me in the dress a couple weeks ago to confirm that it didn't need any more alterations! Usually budget 3-4 weeks for any alterations since they're quite busy/popular, but if you do have a deadline they can still try their best to make it work! I'm glad that my friend referred me to Le Caprice, now I always know who to go to for getting dress alterations :)

    My wedding dress. Thank you Marina!

    What a lovely job Marina did on my wedding dress!!! I was recommended by THREE brides to go to Le Caprice and I'm so relieved I did. For starters, my dress was originally purchased as 3-4 sizes too large and she magically made it fit like a glove!! She also did a hem and added a bustle and with quick turn around. I was worried about the detailed lace at the neckline and waist of my dress, but she did a great job making sure to preserve all of the lace. I had also lost weight during the process and she made sure to go back and take it in more to make me happy. Marina is a no-nonsense owner who gets it done and done correctly. Her experience and talent is unmatched. When it comes to an important piece like your wedding dress, you want to go to an expert and that is exactly what Marina is. Thank you Marina and team for making me feel beautiful!!

    Marina and her team were amazing! I brought my wedding dress here after seeing all the glowing reviews from previous brides, and everything was perfect! I got my dress shortened, adjusted the bust area to better fit me, and added a beautiful bottom bustle that folded my train under my dress for a seamless bustled look! It was all very clearly priced upfront and Marina did an incredible job. The dress fit me like a glove!

    I had just a little over two weeks to get my dress altered, and Marina truly worked wonders! Not only did she manage to get the dress to me within such a short timeframe, it was comfortable to be in and looked like it was made just for me! Marina understood the assignment, and I didn't have to say much or worry about a thing. She's an absolute hidden gem in the Bay Area--truly a professional, and her work is top-notch. "Professional" doesn't even begin to capture the quality of her craft. I can't speak highly enough of her and will definitely be recommending her to everyone I know for wedding dress alterations!

    See all

    Ask the Community - Le Caprice

    Hello, how much do you charge for reducing the length of a gown?

    How far in advance should a bride start dress alterations?

    At least 2 months in advance.

    What price point should I expect for a raw silk wedding dress that needs the bodice fitted (the original owners chest is just a smidge wider than mine and can't be fixed with a bigger bra)?

    Unfortunately it is very difficult to be able to tell without being able to physically see the dress in person. Please schedule an appointment for a free consultation! We will be more than happy to take a look.

But I went in to find a birthday present for a Chinese girlfriend with really good taste in fashion and maybe buy a cute hair clip for myself. A clerk started giggling at me as soon as I walked into the store. Another sales lady walked up to me with a highly disapproving look on her face. "We don't have anything here in your size," she said. I could just tell she was envisioning me ripping the seams out of one of her $180 skirts trying to zip it over my fat ass.

Over the years, I've bought hair clips, cell phone charms, skirts, and dresses. The lady was very professional and nice. She is not pushy at all, and lets me have my time browing through the things. When she recommended an item to me, she was not pushy either. Many times I don't buy anything but just tried a few pieces on. She was not angry, like some other Asian store owners do. They have cute Korean style clothes. The price tags are pretty expensive, but they go on sale after a while, like 50% off. I like many styles there, but sometimes just didn't buy them due to the price. Sometimes they have on-sale items hanging outside the store. $29.99 a piece. I've found great bargains there. I bought a summer skirt, a winter skirt, and a full dress! Great deals.

It's probably the best bet to get a gift that is cute and unique but you want it to lean more towards being western and not too kawaii and anime. Think of gifting a punny keychain or cute Jellycat versus a Chiikawa plushie or anime acrylic if that makes sense. Meaning that it's probably easier and maybe more acceptable to get a slightly more normie a gift here than it is elsewhere. As you can see, I'm learning what it's like to touch grass and re-integrate into human society. There's a good number of plushies, Jellycat and unique ones like a pink fairy armadillo mole one, tote bags and socks, nice range of jewelry, lots of California themed goods if you're looking for souvenirs that aren't mega generic, and they have a lot of other items as well. As with the quality and high regard some of these items have (Jellycats are NOT cheap), it can be a bit pricier, so make sure that you shop around and check prices elsewhere and that you actually truly care about the person you're getting stuff for and it's not a forced obligation one (family member you're ugh with or coworker Secret Santa that you barely know). Maybe a couple cute things I had my eye on, but it wasn't really for me (speaks volumes about me), but I can see how a store like this works in a pinch if you're gift shopping.
