    There will be no other place I would go for alterations except here at Melfy's. I need to have my wedding dress and my daughter's dress altered and I found Melfy here in yelp. Call her if you need to make an appointment and the new address. The address here in yelp is Old and they have been requesting yelp to change it. Melfy is now located at 79th st near the 74th/Roosevelt. Or 82nd on the 7line. We are very happy with our dresses as it fit perfectly!! We left like we have a new mom/grandma who cares for you and your big day!! Thank you Melfy!!!

    Thank you Melfy!

    Melfy is such a sweetheart and she really goes above and beyond to make sure your wedding dress makes you feel beautiful. She helped me alter my wedding dress and my Chinese tea ceremony gown. Both dresses were a few sizes too big and she made them fit me perfectly. Melfy also changed my veil's plastic comb to a much sturdier metal one. I think it's important to add that between my fittings, I began to have second thoughts about my dress because the neckline is lower than what I'm used to. I expressed my concerns to Melfy and she was honest about what could be done. She helped me add a bit of coverage by taking in the bust fabric and also took in the straps to ensure my dress would be secured to my body properly. I left my final fitting feeling very confident and happy.

    Melfy is amazing. I brought in a size 12 wedding dress, I'm a size 2 in regular clothes but I got the dress on sale and that was the only size they had. She did such a great job and fixed minor issues the dress had. Totally recommend her. I also have to add that her prices are very reasonable. I went to a few places before trying her and I was amazed as to how much these other seamstress charge.

    Melfy is the best! She made the whole alteration process as easy and convenient as possible. She did an amazing job hemming my 11 layer gown, added a sewn in bra, added the bustle-all for a very affordable price. Super nice and informative throughout the whole process and didn't suggest anything that wasn't absolutely necessary. My husband found Melfy for me through yelp. I had initially felt pretty discouraged after my alterations consultation where I purchased my dress. They had pushed a bunch accessories on me and quoted twice the price JUST to get the gown hemmed. I can't recommend Melfy enough, she really was a blessing.

    Perfect fit all around!!!!!! Perfect hem and nice bustle

    She's amazing!!!! She did a great job on my wedding gown and evening gown. The wedding dress fit like a glove! I even got many compliments on how well the wedding dress fit me. I had about 4 fittings because I forgot to bring my heels with me and I did a bustle on my mermaid gown. You couldn't even tell where the alterations were made and you won't notice the clear buttons for the bustle on the day of (which I was initially worried about). My mermaid gown had many many layers and she hemmed it perfectly. She sewed foam cups in my dress and I didn't have to wear the undergarment. Also, she was very reasonably priced!!!!!!! I bought my dress from Kleinfeld and they charge $795 - she charged less than half of that. I was referred to Melfy from a friend and I am so grateful I found her. She's so nice and made the process very easy!! Just a tip: pick up the dress as close to the wedding as possible as I picked it up a week earlier than my wedding date (per my request). The dress was a tad loose on the wedding day because I didn't realize how much weight I would lose in one week due to the stress leading up to the wedding even though I was eating normal. Also, call about two months in advance to book an appointment as she gets busy. I would definitely recommend her to all of my friends!

    The result of Melfy's magic!

    I purchased a wedding dress off of Etsy and it wasn't fitting right- the bust was off, the waist needed to be cinched, etc. I was discouraged but Melfy quickly turned that feeling around. It took a total of 3 visits to make my dress perfect. The price she quoted me from the first visit stayed the same regardless of how many additional adjustments she had to make. On top of how lovely the dress looked, Melfy herself is lovely and easy to talk to. She offers a world of wisdom- she showed me how to walk in the dress, how to sit with it on, etc which was super appreciated as a gal who skews tomboy. I would 100p trust her to fix your gown and I'll definitely be returning should I need another dress to be transformed!

    Thank You, Melfy!!

    Melfy saved the day last minute, I was lucky to find her on Yelp just a few months before my wedding, and she gave me the confidence that I needed during a stressful moment when the other person I was suppose to work with was giving me a hard time. I'm so glad I went with my gut feeling and decided to find someone else, which turned out to be Melfy. She's amazing at what she does, friendly, sweet, funny and professional. I felt at home whenever I visited her place, and I love the extra details she added to my dress, including the bra padding and bridal sash that I provided. I highly recommend Melfy and would go back to her for any other alterations that I may need in the near future. She made me feel beautiful every time I went for a fitting and even gave me tips on how-to sit and walk properly with my dress. My bridesmaids also got their dresses altered in length and she managed to do them in time for the wedding date, considering they gave her a short lead time. Her prices are reasonable at such quality work/services. Love her and so happy with my wedding dress!

    I'm so grateful to have found Melfy! She has such a talent and is very easy to work with. Her eye for detail is exceptional and she was very reasonably priced. I only needed one fitting for her to nail my dress. She listened to what I wanted for my alterations and made appropriate suggestions for additional needs and was spot on with her changes. Once you call her for an appointment, text is easiest for her. She's prompt and respectful and I can't recommend her enough!

    I found Melfy from my close friend who used her services for her wedding dress and raved about her. After using Melfy for a few bridesmaid dresses and having great experiences, I knew I could trust her with my own wedding dresses. I saved HUNDREDS of dollars in alteration costs and Melfy, as always, did a fantastic job. First of all, she is SO sweet... she is like a fairy god mother. Through every appointment she made me feel like a perfect queen: encouraging me about my body and having confidence, teaching me to stand, sit, walk property in my huge dress. She only takes a number of clients so that she can focus on doing everything to the highest quality. The location is in Jackson Heights and it was convenient for me because I live in Queens but if I lived far, I would have still travelled far just for Melfy. She was always super responsive via text message (prefers that to phone calls or emails.) Melfy is SO hardworking and is a one woman show booking/managing appointments, doing all alterations herself, and she is very detail oriented. She altered two of my wedding gowns and they both fit like a glove. I can not thank her enough for her amazing work!

    Not the best picture, but will post more when the prof ones come in. Beautiful work by Melfy.

    Ask the Community - Melfy's Bridal Alterations

    Does anyone know the address to Melfy's new location in Jackson Heights?

    It's on 79th St. between Roosevelt and 37th Ave - when I made my appointment she gave me the address over the phone!

    Does anyone know if Melfy has a new number?

    I actually finally got a hold of her today. Same number, but she told me it's her cell phone so she does not pick up strange numbers nor call back. She actually told me it's easier to text her.
