    Amazing Alterations

    I am extremely disappointed with my experience at this alterations shop, especially considering I…read morewas referred here by the bridal shop where I purchased my wedding dress. My second appointment with Brenda was honestly one of the most frustrating experiences I had throughout my wedding planning. I waited about 15 minutes while she ate, and then she left me for another 10 minutes to look at an email. When I brought up sleeves for my dress, which we had already discussed during my first appointment, she became visibly upset. She threw scissors across the room and told me I was being "difficult." After spending another 10 minutes looking for sleeves, she brought out beautiful glittery lace sleeves. The problem was that my wedding dress had no glitter whatsoever, so they obviously did not coordinate with my dress. When I politely rejected them, she told me I was "hard to impress" and that it would be difficult to find something that would work. A few minutes later, she brought out lace material instead. She then told me that if I went through with the sleeves, I would probably eventually have to cut them off because they were likely to rip. Needless to say, this was extremely concerning to hear about something being altered onto my wedding dress. At my third appointment, I worked with Sarah instead, and she was absolutely lovely. She was kind, patient, and explained everything to me without making me feel like I was being difficult. She was actually surprised when I told her I had been told I would eventually have to cut the sleeves off and assured me that shouldn't be the case. Unfortunately, even though Sarah was wonderful, I still left with an unfinished dress. There were safety pins left in my wedding dress that I didn't notice until I put it on. My photographer had even taken photos of the dress hanging, and you can clearly see the safety pins in the dress. When I removed the pins, a significant amount of loose fabric came off. The extra fabric had never been properly removed. My bridesmaids and maid of honor ended up having to cut off a large amount of excess fabric themselves right before I was supposed to be taking photos with my photographer. After paying nearly $1,000 for alterations, I never expected to have to finish my wedding dress myself on my wedding day. I called the shop afterward to see if there was anything they could do to compensate me for the situation. I only received a voicemail saying they would speak with the last person who had worked on my dress. I have yet to hear anything back. The most disappointing part is learning that Brenda is an owner of the business. I believe she knows what she is doing when it comes to alterations, but her customer service and the way she treated me were completely unacceptable. Being called "difficult" and "hard to impress," having scissors thrown across the room, and ultimately leaving me with an unfinished dress is not how a bride should be treated--especially when she has paid nearly $1,000 for the service. Sarah was kind and professional, and I truly appreciate how she treated me. Unfortunately, the overall experience was overshadowed by my experience with Brenda and the fact that my dress was not finished properly. I was so excited to have my wedding dress altered and ready for my wedding day, and instead, this added unnecessary stress to an already emotional and important time. Because of this experience, I will not be returning to or recommending this business.

    I got married Fall 2025 and had my bridal gown altered at Amazing Alterations in Anoka. I would not…read morerecommend amazing alterations to other brides. I'm hoping I can spare some other brides the stress and expense! Experience: My seamstress left me during the last appointment and I had to finish with a different person with no notice. We ended up being there for many hours and were not sent away for drinks and food like they said they'd do initially. I felt like the new seamstress did not understand my goals for the final alterations that needed to happen - understandably, she had not been involved. I got the distinct impression we were taking too much of their time asking for adjustments to the fit and felt very rushed. It was not a pleasant start to the wedding week. I will say in the lead up to the wedding the front desk staff were very helpful with scheduling. Product: This is ultimately my biggest complaint and the main reason I would caution other brides. My final dress had some quirks that I - a layperson with no background in sewing - noticed. For instance, I had a bejeweled belt they attached around the waist. The jewels only went partway around, and I understood this meant there would be a section at the back with no belt. Totally fine. But once I got it home I realized the belt wasn't even centered on the back, so it looked odd (photo included here). In the same vein, I had detachable sleeves on the gown and they sewed them in without consulting me. I was hoping to wear the sleeves during the ceremony then remove them for the reception/dancing. Neither of these were critical issues, however in hindsight it seems clear to me that these issues should've been a red flag about their lack of attention to detail. The final dress was ill fitting in the bust, and I ended up with bruising on my ribs at the end of the night (and still have the marks nearly a year later ). Most damning is that my sister-in-law works as a wedding dress alterer herself (not local), and on the day of the wedding she was steaming the dress and assumed it was a sample gown because of how worn the fabric was and how torn up the seams were. Mine was a brand new dress. She recommended I leave a review mentioning the torn seams and hem. She was also shocked at the price for the product I got. She very helpfully was able to fix the belt quickly (and also helped me cut off the sleeves after the ceremony!) While I felt beautiful on my wedding day and I think the flaws were probably unnoticed by most people without training in sewing, ultimately the craftsmanship was lacking and the price was much too high for that quality. While I am glad to read some other reviews where the brides were satisfied, ultimately the alterations were the biggest regret I have looking back at my wedding. It was expensive, unpleasant, and didnt turn out a high quality product. I was very unsatisfied and would encourage other brides to look elsewhere!
