Melfy tailored my wedding dress and she did a beautiful job. She was very kind and talented at what she does, I highly recommend her!

There is no one better than Melfy in bridal alterations. I bought my gown at RK Bridal, but couldn't afford the alteration price ranges listed. I spent my time on Yelp one night to find a local tailor, as other brides had recommended to me. I came across Melfy, who had amazing reviews, plus, conveniently located in Queens! Make sure you text Melfy- she doesn't respond to calls (cause, robo calls and spam). I told her what I needed done, and made an appointment with her. Melfy is a humble lady who is beyond talented, has an eye for attention to details, thoughtful, and very honest in her recommendations. I had a mermaid gown that needed to be hemmed (I'm only 5' 1''), bust and hips taken in, and added cups to go bra-less. She even sewed in the cups with blue thread for my "something blue." Melfy is very sweet. When I first arrive to her home, she had a full body length mirror up and a red carpet rolled out in front of it. She treats you like royalty, and makes you feel like a queen. Throughout the whole process, we chatted, and I got to learn a little bit more about her and her humble beginnings. My gown fitted me so well for my wedding day, that I even brought 2 more bridesmaid dresses to be tailored recently! You are not only paying for tailoring/alterations, but you are paying for someone who will make sure you look your best. She even taught me how to style my bridesmaid dresses. She's actually moving to Northport, Long Island now, but is still open for business. Support small businesses! read more

Melfy is nothing short of amazing! I had my Ramona Keveza sample sale dress that was at least 3 sizes too big fit like a glove after going to her. I fit about a wedding dress 2 or 4 and it was originally a 10. She also did the bustle and added cups. She has a lot of experience in designer wedding gown alterations. She has worked for Pronovias in the past. Melfy pays attention to detail and has a lot of knowledge. She's always on time and on target. She only needs 2 fittings but if more are necessary she will accommodate. When everything fits, you come back another time for pickup. My dress and veil were ready to go upon pickup; steamed and clean. She also gives you very helpful tips and suggestions for undergarments, to veils to how to sit and walk. The address on the yelp is incorrect because yelp will not let her change it. Shes's located on 79th street between Roosevelt Ave. and 37th Ave in Jackson heights. She prefers texts to reply! read more

I love melfy so much!!! She knows exactly what she is doing. It's clear she is a professional with many years of experience. I brought her a dress that I was worried couldn't be tailored - it's made of a very fine lace with lots of buttons and embellishments. I couldn't zip up the back. Turned out the dress only needed to be hemmed, because she showed me how to put it on correctly! She's a magician! She made the required alterations in record time - practically two weeks. And her price cannot be beat. She's also so warm and thoughtful. She showed my mom how to help me into the dress, and demonstrated how to stand, sit and walk in the dress. An adorable detail- she sewed a tiny pail blue bow on the inside of the dress - "something blue"! I recommend her all the way. I already brought my dad back to her to have his pants tailored. read more

Love Melfy! Absolutely the best, kindest women you'll ever meet. And a master at craft. Brought her my dress 1 month before my wedding. 1 fitting and done. Recommend her to everyone. She used to work at Pronovias as a seamstress and sales rep. read more

She's very talented and detailed. Melfy is honest sbdc does not overcharge. Definitely use her services. Mera's Tip: visit a tailor read more

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!!! read more

Melfy's Bridal Alterations - Sewing & Alterations Near Me

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. read more

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. read more

My god, MELFY! I adore you. I bought a Halston Heritage evening gown to wear to my wedding and it needed a little bit of love to make it wedding ready - Melfy added a bustle (which someone else told me could not be done) and took in the chest... it looks perfect. The price was reasonable and Melfy is sweet and no-nonsense - definitely bookmark for your tailoring needs! NOTE: she has moved to Jackson Heights. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Melfy's Bridal Alterations - Perfect fit all around!!!!!! Perfect hem and nice bustle - Sewing & Alterations Near Me

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! read more

Melfy's Bridal Alterations - The result of Melfy's magic! - Sewing & Alterations Near Me

Melfy is amazing. She recently moved out to Long Island but it is totally worth the drive! She really took care of me and my needs, and made my wedding dress perfect! Also gave me tons of advice on etiquette around wearing the dress, and was able to recommend enhancements to my dress to ensure it's perfect for my big day! I'd say my dress was about 2 sizes too large and several inches too long and she made it fit like a glove! My dress was also very complicated with many layers. I truly appreciate everything she's done! She also made me a matching mask (covid) with the left over fabric that got removed from the dress! 1000% recommend. Once I get pictures from my wedding I'll update this review with photos of her gorgeous work! read more

Words cannot describe how wonderful and talented Melfy is. I had purchased my wedding gown off the rack and it required a substantial amount of alterations. Melfy knew exactly what needed to be done to the dress, and was upfront about which alterations she could and could not perform. The dress had a lettuce hem that, although she knew how to move it in order to shorten the dress, she did not have the equipment to do so. However, she was able to take in the chest (which required moving intricate beading and boning), add a bustle, and even correct some mistakes that the other seamstress had made when shortening the dress. Having previously worked at Pronovias, her knowledge and eye for detail are unparalleled. She even provided advice on how to get into and out of the dress, and how to walk and sit. She is exceptional and I would not go to anyone else but her for alterations!! read more

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! read more

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! read more

Melfy's Bridal Alterations - Wedding dress - Sewing & Alterations Near Me

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! read more

I cannot rave about Melfy enough! She did her best to try and save my wedding day after the boutique ordered my dress 10 sizes too big. She accommodated me one week before my wedding and I will forever be grateful. read more

Melfy is a PRO! Not only is she so enjoyable to meet with while she perfected my wedding dress but she is so insightful around the construction of so many type of gowns and how to enter the dress, walk with it on, care for it, etc. I can't recommend her enough if you have any gowns that need some reconstruction. read more

Melfy is truly amazing at what she does. She's out on Long Island now, but is definitely worth the drive. She hemmed my dress, train and all, and it came out beautifully- the length was perfect! She also added a very pretty bustle and added hooks to the back of my dress, which were both very reasonably priced. You can tell she's been doing this for a while and is very knowledgeable. She gives you recommendations on how to store the dress until the wedding, how to iron it if it wrinkles and also how to walk while wearing it! Highly, highly recommend! read more

After being told by one of Kleinfeld's own associates that the whopping $900 flat alterations fee wasn't worth it for what I needed and after reading so many poor reviews, I went on Yelp and thankfully found Melfy as a MUCH better alternative - in both price and skill. She knows exactly what she's doing but also takes the time to explain every step to make sure you're comfortable. Her work is incredible and provides a very reasonable quote based on the alteration need. I even brought my MOH to my last fitting and Melfy gave her a full coaching on how to dress me, what to do with my train, and how to bustle. Will be recommending her to all my friends and family! read more

Melfy was amazing. Every appointment with her, reassured me that I made the right choice for her altering my gown. The price was reasonable to me, especially for the service provided. I had to order my gown one size up due to timing constraints and was nervous about it being taken in to my standards. Melfy went above and beyond, and made my dream dress fit me the way I have envisioned. She works out of her apartment and made me feel so at home from our very first meeting. I recommend her to all brides! read more

I first worked with Melfy when she was my neighbor in Jackson Heights, Queens, in 2019. She did wonderful work on a relatively simple alteration of a gown that I wore to a friend's wedding in Tuscany. Based on that experience, I contacted her when I was getting married this year to see if she could put her years of bridal alterations to work on my Made With Love lace dress. As expected, she did a fantastic job rooted in her true devotion to her customers and her work. I did a total of four fittings with her, as I was 16 weeks pregnant at my wedding and my body was starting to change a bit as we did final fittings, but Melfy took it all in stride and didn't charge me more despite this taking more of her time. In addition to doing standard alterations and adding a bustle, she also showed me how to walk, stand, and sit in my gown and recommended good underwear to go with it. Though she is now in East Northport, Long Island, her care and excellent prices made the drive from Queens totally worth it. read more

After researching so many seamstress to adjust my wedding gown, I finally decided to call Melfy 6 months before my wedding based on the so many positive reviews she has in yelp. And thanks God I did! Melfy is such a very charming lady with very talented skills! She's also very patient and has a very pleasant personality that I felt so ease working with her. She was able to alter my dress to make it more fitting and did such an amazing job. She's very professional and very knowledgeable (she worked for Pronovias for a long time! ) and offered her expert opinion but willing to listen to my concerns and what not. Her pricing is also very reasonable compared to her city counterparts. Everytime I had my fitting, she made me feel very at ease and was always patient to hear about any concerns that I had. She also gave me a lot of suggestions for the wedding which I found very helpful. If you're looking for a seamstress for your wedding day or any day, I highly recommend Melfy. Not only she's very good in what she does, she's also very charming and easy to work with which made the whole experience enjoyable and not stressful. read more

To sum it up Melfy is absolutely amazing! I was a little hesitant to take my wedding dress somewhere other than the bridal shop I purchased it from, thinking would anywhere else be as professional and accountable for my dress than the shop I purchased it from. YES & YES! I really feel like I lucked out finding her. From our first meeting I could tell alterations is what Melfy does and has been doing for years! My dress fits like a glove, she made a beautiful bustle, and she gave me great advice about my dress and mannerism like no one else would have. Her prices are much more reasonable than any bridal shop, but her work surpasses them by far. Thank you Melfy! read more

Melfy's Bridal Alterations - When you look and feel like a winner, you will always win!! Thank you, Ms. Melfy. - Sewing & Alterations Near Me

I wish I could give Melfy more than five stars! Can't recommend her highly enough. She worked at Pronovias alterations for 7 years and has been altering wedding dresses for decades now! Not only did she clearly know her stuff, but she took personal care to give important tips and advice on how to get the dress exactly how I wanted. She was also MUCH more affordable than anywhere else I looked, and much higher quality work. She was honest about what she could get done in what amount of time, and I know for a fact that she won't take work she can't complete in the time. (She has a friend she refers to, who she says is amazing as well.) My dress (Pronovias' Taciana) was the right size for me, but had layers upon layers of very expensive and difficult-to-work-with tulle that had to be hemmed, as well a very heavy, complicated bustle, and I had a one-month timeline. I took it to two places in Manhattan and both seemed overwhelmed by the work it would take and quoted me very high prices, saying, "We will try to make a bustle but can't promise anything." I was not confident they knew what they were doing with the tulle and how to treat the different layers, to the point that when I left I was feeling a little despairing about getting things done in time at all. I brought it to Melfy and she immediately problem-solved everything: identifying a need to reinforce the back with hook and eye closures, showing me how she would cut in certain places to shorten the hemline more easily without losing the dress' shape, suggesting ways to shorten underneath so I could walk and dance easily, and suggesting a French bustle to preserve the beautiful waistline embroidery on the dress. She was willing to work with my one-month timeline, AND -- she was HALF the cost of the minimum price the others quotes me! (Probably helps not to have the Manhattan rent overhead!) She was very straightforward and efficient, but so so kind! It was clear right away that she understood more about the dress and how exactly it ought to be altered than either of the other places I went to. We finished it within two fittings and the dress looked absolutely perfect and was in pristine condition. On the third visit she showed me how to sit in it and even coached me on how to pose for pictures! ("You are princess and you must carry yourself like one!" she told me very firmly.) She gave helpful instructions about care of the dress, how to get it on perfectly, how to bustle, etc. Couldn't be more happy with it!! Please feel free to message me any questions about cost details, etc. read more

Ms. Melfy is amazing! She altered my MOH dress which was super big on the top - and had lots of rouching and pleating. She also altered my daughter's flower girl dress and made it sit more properly across her shoulders. Ms. Melfy then assisted in CORRECTING a TERRIBLE job that was done to the Mother of the bride's dress by a well known "bridal tailor" in Manhattan. She did this as a last minute / rush job and it came out PERFECT! We were all so happy with Ms. Melfy's service, her talent and her very caring personality. She is a true gem. Also - her pricing is extremely reasonable for the care she takes and the fine work she does! read more

5+ stars for Melfi's bridal alterations! Melfi is the real deal when it comes to absolutely top quality work. I reached out to her to see if she could take the work in the time frame I had. She asked about the date by when I needed my dress complete, had me try on the dress and discuss what I wanted to have done to the dress, and made suggestions on what else should be done - things that were necessary but I would not have known to ask for. I brought my mom to that first visit - my mom worked in this industry when we first moved to the states - and she impressed my mom. Hired! We agreed on the timeline and cost. Each time I was there we scheduled the next fitting appointment. Melfi was always ready with each set of alterations at the next appointment. During each visit she rolls out the red carpet, literally and figuratively to make sure you feel like a princess and there is no damage to the dress. Her work is high quality. She can explain in lay and terms what an issue with the dress may be, how she proposes to fix it and get your buy in before proceeding. Besides shortening the length of the dress (and the million skirts underneath) she had to do substantial work on the bust which was really screwed up by the company which made the dress. This took the most detailed work and the most skill. She rocked it. When I mentioned that I was having trouble finding a flat veil that wouldn't look bushy on me, she offered to make me one. It came out fantastic, absolutely what I wanted, simple and elegant. She does the work out of her apartment, which worked out great for me since this allows her to schedule appointments for the evening so I didn't have to take days off or rush. Her pricing is very reasonable, especially considering the quality of work. I recommend her without any reservation. read more

Melfy is an absolute sweetheart and was truly an asset for my bridal fittings. Not only does she alter your dress but she also teaches you and whoever is with you the proper way to put on your wedding dress, best practices on how to walk and sit in it and how you should compose yourself on your wedding day. She is very expeirienced and will tell it like it is if you're requesting something that you won't like or that will jeopardize your gown. I also found her to be very honest, once she quoted a price she didn't change it. All in all it was a great experience and I'll never forget the line she told me when I picked up my gown, she said "remember to be princess, please, its important" then she pointed to God and said "And remember the wedding is forever" read more

Would highly recommend! read more

I discovered Melfy on Yelp - unfortunately there isnt much information about her on Yelp (the address is also wrong) so I took a chance and gave her a call anyway. Melfy is one of a kind - she is extremely honest about what type of gown suits your body type; she is able to predict the number of fittings required and can even predict if you will lose weight or not. I only had a total of 2 fittings from the time I went to her (December) till the time I collected my gown (March). My wedding was actually in April and I was worried that I might gain or lose weight and the gown wouldn't fit properly, but somehow Melfy tailored it such that even after losing 13pounds from the time I collected the gown till my wedding, the gown still fit like a glove! She is also very affordable and very honest on the tailoring and how the gown should look. But most importantly, Melfy encourages self confidence and love for your own body :) she does not critique on how your body looks or whether you need to lose more weight to look better. She encourages you to embrace your own body type. As she says, "The only person that can tell you if you look beautiful is the mirror you see in front of you; no one else!" I highly recommend Melfy for tailoring of your wedding gown, especially if your gown is from Pronovias (she used to work there for 7 years and know the gowns very well). My gown was from Pronovias and she tailored it beautifully. Please call her ahead of time as she can get very busy. Her address has also changed. It is now: 37-21 79th St, Jackson Heights, NY 11372 read more

Came here after I saw the great reviews on Yelp. What a gem Melfy is. I brought my gown here to be altered for my daughter wedding & she did a wonderful job. The gown was new but some sequins were missing & she was able to sew it all back together aside from making sure it fits me to a T. She was very patient & pleasant to work with. Listen to every thing I want done & the gown came out exactly how I wanted it to be. I decided to purchase another gown that caught my eye, a beautiful designer taupe color with silver embellishment & would be a nice alternate for the gown I already have. What a beautiful person Melfy is, so accommodating & a beautiful soul. She also happen to have a Shiz Tzu like me and shared me her groomer who do house calls. Lucky me, My groomer comes over to groom my little Khylie now. Anybody out there who needs alterations done, for wedding, formal events, Please!! Look no further, Try Melfy, I definitely recommend her, she does a very good job and very professional and friendly too. She's very accessible, You can take the train get off at 63rd Drive, along Queens Blvd on Rego Park. Oh and & her prices are very affordable....need I say more? read more

Melfy is the best. My dress ended up being very complicated and she was the only tailor (out of 4 that I visited) that gave me a reasonable price and didn't make the job seem impossible.

Melfy did a wonderful job on my gown alterations. Any concerns or worries I had about the fit, she was able to answer and explain exactly what she was going to do to improve it so I always felt at ease. For reference, my gown was by Amsale, she took in the hips and shortened the the front tulle. She also altered my second gown and that came out beautiful as well. If you're feeling skeptical or nervous that she works from home, don't be! I am one picky bride and know that feeling so trust me when I say she's good! Plus she has years of experience working for Pronovias and Amsale. Melfy is a def a hidden gem and one of the sweetest ladies I've met! read more

Highly recommend Melfy! Melfy tailored my wedding dress which is adorned with crazy layers of lace and beading. Her prices are reasonable (I feel like she is the only wedding vendor we used that didn't try to take advantage of us), and she is extremely experienced and skilled at altering dresses. One tidbit is that her shop is in her home (closer to Rego Park than Forest Hills), which I don't mind. But sometimes she has her grandkids running around while you are naked and trying to fit into your dress. read more

Melfy is amazing, quick, and down to earth. She is both sweet and informative. My sister went to Melfy to tailor her wedding dress. Melfy did a thorough consultation and explained what specific work needed to be done before giving us a price quote. She makes you feel confident and good about using her services. During each visit, Melfy would give us tips and instructions for the day of the wedding including how to properly get into the wedding dress, how to walk in the dress, and how to seat yourself (since the dress had a train). In addition, when I received my bridesmaids dress with less than a month to the wedding, I found out I did not fit and immediately asked if Melfy would be able to alter it. She was extremely accommodating, suggested two ways she could alter it, and she got my dress to me in time for the wedding. Note: As other reviewers have mentioned, she has moved to Jackson Heights and will give you the address when you make an appointment. read more
