I cannot recommend Inessa highly enough. She altered my mother-of-the-groom gown, and the result…read morewas nothing short of extraordinary. My dress was quite complicated, requiring hemming, taking in the bodice and waist, and restructuring the pleats around the waist. Inessa didn't just tailor it--she elevated it. She added beautiful bejeweled detailing to the bodice, waist, and cuffs, transforming the gown into something truly stunning and unique. From our first meeting, she was no-nonsense, focused, and clearly driven by perfection, while still being warm and friendly. What sets her apart is her eye--she instinctively knows what will flatter your body. The final fit was incredible. My bodice looked lifted, my waist looked svelte, and the overall silhouette was beyond what I imagined. That "wow" moment when I tried it on is something I won't forget. She was also extremely professional--everything was completed on time (within 30 days), and her communication was excellent. She was always responsive to texts and even accommodated a last-minute request to alter the bride's dress without hesitation. More than anything, Inessa genuinely cared about how I felt. She made sure I felt beautiful and confident, which meant so much for such an important day. At the wedding, I received countless compliments--especially on the stunning bejeweled details she added. Her pricing reflects her level of expertise and is absolutely worth it. I've already recommended her to others and am returning to her again for my second son's wedding. If you want someone who delivers precision, artistry, and a flawless fit, Inessa is the one.

I bought an expensive designer…read moredress 2nd hand but did not like the extremely big puffy sleeves; Inessa redesigned them to still match the dress lines rather than just undoing the poof and cutting them down and hemming them. She pointed out to me how that would be a problem to the overall look and I agreed. I never would have seen that problem on my own. She's very creative! She also did the alterations over for my granddaughter's wedding gown. My granddaughter kept losing weight for the wedding so Inessa had to be very conscious of timing of the wedding and what alterations to do as my granddaughter kept losing weight. Inessa also hemmed two other dresses for me, one with a built-in slip, and both were excellent! She is realistic about whether she can meet your timeline and she honors that commitment! She's clear across town for me, but knowing how critical great work is on expensive clothes it would be silly to go somewhere you don't have confidence in.

Not only is she incredibly talented, but her knowledge of figure skating and costume requirements truly sets her apart. She took a poorly fitted dress and completely transformed it into the most beautiful, perfectly tailored costume for our daughter. Her attention to detail is exceptional. On top of that, she worked within an impressive timeline without compromising quality, which we greatly appreciated. She is professional, reliable, and clearly passionate about her craft. We couldn't be happier with the final result and highly recommend her to anyone in need of expert alterations or custom skating costumes. Daniela

We even explained that our questions were out of curiosity, not because we were doubting her work, but she still responded with attitude. At one point, when we were trying to reason with her, she outright told us she didn't want to be nice. Her customer service was completely unprofessional and made us feel uncomfortable throughout the experience. To make matters worse, she shortened my dress more than what we had agreed upon. Between the poor communication, rude behavior, and the alteration not being done as discussed, I would not recommend coming here.

The Bride's Tailor in Peoria - Dishonest Bridal Alterations…read more The Bride's Tailor in Peoria ignored our agreement for one final pinning and altered my wedding dress using outdated measurements. She raised her voice when I calmly said it was too big when I tried it on. This was just two weeks before my wedding, and she said she was too busy to fix it, then suddenly had time after my sister-in-law called on my behalf. She then lied about the price she was going to charge me to fix her own mistake and then raised it. I paid her the initial $800 she asked for, which I regret so much. The wedding dress alterations from The Bride's Tailor were so bad that Luv Bridal had to completely redo the dress when I brought it to them instead. Do not hire The Bride's Tailor in Peoria -- unprofessional, dishonest, and manipulative.

Spoke to Melinda and the situation was accommodated…read more Bought my dress from Luv Bridal and was recommended The Bride's Tailor. I needed the straps tightened and moved in and some beads put on. I needed the dress hemmed fairly because I decided not to wear heels and I am 5'3. The price was a good deal! It was about an hour away from me but was worth the price and reviews. I DID NOT GET A BUSTLE! Too much dress and I did not like it, maybe the back of the dress way too big and hid the beautiful aplicase. I had to short but great consultations, first to pin everything and second to check it and take it home. I also tried the dress on multiple times at home. It fit amazingly! Come to my wedding day and I put on the dress and feel a prick. The top layer in my lining was all still pinned and not hemmed. We had to safety pin the whole top lining so I could walk. Very inconvenient and disappointing. Thankfully I had people who could pin it and thankfully had pins. It wasn't horrible but I did trip a lot and had to fix it a few times. Next day I reached out to Melinda and she felt really bad a refund me a 1/3 of the cost. But unfortunately my dress is still not done. Moral of the story, check for pins.
