Galina did an amazing job altering my dress for a very affordable price. She changed my straps, opened up the back of my dress and made it fit like a glove. She really helped make my wedding day special. Only advice to customers is to make sure you book her well in advance of your event as she gets very busy. Other than that, her work is AMAZING. read more

She is a very talented seamstress! I've had her sore 2 formal dresses for me and they both turned out beautifully!

I don't understand how she's received any stars less than 5. My friend recommended her to me after her experience. Her prices are competitive, she's very thorough, she's always answered all the questions I had. She doesn't try to sell you or push you on anything. Which I highly appreciate. Galinda is an absolute sweetheart and really cares about the work she's doing. Definitely reach out if you want quality work for great prices! read more

I had to get straps on my daughter's prom dress taken in. She completed the alterations quickly. Her work was impeccable!

Zero stars. I came here after reading glowing reviews on Yelp, Google, Reddit, and Facebook. My dress needed to have the bust and waist resized, length shortened, bustle installed, and detachable straps added . Her all inclusive package deal of $350 sounded great, but it came at a regrettable cost. - On my first visit, Galina scolded me when I accidentally called her name to tell her I'm ready instead of ringing the little bell. This was my first time there, how would I have known ? - On a following appointment , she called me as I was driving to the shop (I live 40+ min away) to tell me she won't be ready and I'd have to wait about an hour longer. I would have appreciated advanced notice as I do not live in the area. - Her website allowed me to book an appointment and I received an email and text confirming my appointment time. As I was 10 minutes away from the shop, she called me and blamed the booking system, and said she had no idea why it let me book an appointment as she was out of town. Isn't it professional to confirm your appointments prior to accepting them on your end ? I wasted my time and gas driving up to the shop only for her to not be there when my appointment was confirmed. - She mistakenly mixed me up with another patron and said I cancelled my appointment. Her door was locked, I rang the doorbell and she appeared and state "Didn't you cancel ?" I said no and showed her my text message history. Then she started blaming me for not being local and flexible, when at the end of the day, she should have been more organized and professional. She added that she should raise her prices, and said that she has no idea why people travel far and wide to visit her shop. These are words that shouldn't be expressed to the customer at all! There was no accountability or apologies for the mix up. I was willing to overlook all my bad experiences, attitude, and scheduling issues if my dress turned out ok. I picked up my dress and assessed it in more detail at home. I was horrified to see so much damages and wanted to so desperately find another professional upon pick up to remedy the issues that Galina refused to address. I dropped it off elsewhere in a panic with only 4 more days until my wedding. Dress Issues - I informed Galina that my dress was too long, even when bustled. The sides still touched the ground and posed a tripping hazard. I asked if she can trim the edges off more and she then said she couldn't because it needed to gradually get longer for the train. ( I consulted another seamstress, and she said this was just lazy work as shortening the dress requires removing and reapplying the appliqué). She proceeded then to make a 5-point bustle which resulted in the ugliest , Cinderella step sister bustle that I have ever seen. I should have done my research before for bustle styles and thought I could trust Galina. In addition, the bustle loops and button which held the loops were so weak. My new seamstress said it was bound to break with how heavy the train is. - The cups that Galina sewn on were way too big for me (at least 2 cups too large). When I informed her that I was not comfortable , as the top was so loose and someone can clearly get flashed by my chest, her response was that no one will look down at my chest. - Shortening my dress required removing the floral appliqué , then shortening the length and then reapplying the lace. She chopped through the appliqué to my horror. - The edges were extremely uneven and unfinished, almost as if she used scissors to trim if off and called it a day. - Not sure how, but there were at least 10 holes along the bottom perimeter of my dress, and a couples of holes on the back. I did not buy the dress damaged and only wore it when trying it on at the shop. - A needle was left on the inside of my dress. I only spotted it thanks to another Yelp review. Store - Small interior overflowing with dresses. - The fitting area doesn't have enough room to even see your train - There were several pins on the ground Lack of Customer Service - No accountability - Doesn't consider the client's needs and opinions - Makes excuses instead of owning up to scheduling delays and shoddy product Final Takeaways - I came to the shop every other week four months ahead of the wedding. Save yourself the heartache and pay the extra money for excellent service and finished product. Even at this price point, I highly discourage coming to this establishment. TLDR; Cheap prices but you get what you pay for. Unprofessional business practices - administrative and scheduling issues, lack of communication, lack of accountability, not soliciting client feedback, no receipts. Shoddy alteration quality - holes were found throughout my dress after I had the time to look at it closely when I brought it home, the bust area was too large despite me communicating that my chest is exposed, destroyed appllique, rough edges, weak unreinforced bustle, etc. the read more

My experience at Mirabilis was genuinely disappointing. I live near the shop and never really see anyone going in the store but I was sold on getting my alterations done by Galina by a few brides on a facebook group who recommended her. I called the shop on February 4th to see if she was available to do alterations on my dress (hem, bustle, and add a layer of glitter tulle) for my April 5th wedding. She told me that she was available and when I asked about her turn around time, she told me that it depended on how often I could come in for fittings. I then asked for a quote or at least a base price and she said that she would not give me a price yet because she needed to see my dress first. (I understood and was not at all concerned about this) First visit: My first impression of the shop was that it was kinda small and that the room you changed in was pretty unorganized. However, the owner did tell me that they were going through a remodel so I ignored how unorganized the shop seemed. She informed me that I would need 2 more appointments so she could hem it once, check the hem, and then hem it one more time for safe measure. I brought in my own glitter tulle for the dress and she accepted the tulle without any questions. At the end of my appointment, she told me the total was $200 and that I would pay when I picked up my dress. Second visit: A few weeks later I went back for my fitting and she had done the original hem. I noticed that my dress did not have the glitter tulle in yet and I mentioned it at the end of my appointment. She told me that I could schedule my next appointment for a week later and to add a note about my glitter tulle because she sometimes forgets who brings her what stuff. Third visit: I schedule what was supposed to be my last fitting and I also make an appointment for my sister in law right after mine. Galina messages me at 2:30 the day of my appointment (my appointment was scheduled for 4pm) and asks if I come at 5pm (my sister in law's appointment) because she was not ready yet. I told her it was fine since none of my appointments prior had taken the entire time slot anyways. I show up at 5 and my dress is not even close to done. She checks my hem again, the tulle is still not in the dress, and my bustle is not done yet. She measures my sister in laws hem and lets me know that her dress will be done the following week. Fourth visit: I schedule the appointment for a Wednesday, 6 days after my previous appointment. Galina messaged me at 1pm the day of my 4pm appointment and asked if I could come the following day because she was not done. I asked her if she needed more time on both dresses or just mine. She informed me that she could have my sister in laws dress done that afternoon or the following day, it was up to me. I told her that I needed my sister in laws dress that day and that I would be picking it up. I also asked her over text if my dress would for sure be done the next day and she said yes. I showed up to pick up my sister in laws dress and it was done. I asked her again, in person this time, if my dress will for sure be ready the following day and she said yes. Fifth visit: Allegedly my final visit, according to the owner. She made my appointment for 4pm and at 2:18pm that day, after having my dress for over a month, asked me how many yards of tulle I provided her. I told her how many yards I gave her and she told me it wasn't enough. I asked her what my options were and she said that my dress was done but that she could show me the fabric she had in storage so she could add it. If she had told me at any point, other than 2 hours before my "final" appointment, that the tulle wasn't enough then I would have been willing to work with her. I informed her that I will take my dress as is and will be taking my fabric back. Still over text, I asked her what my final price was since not all the work we originally agreed on would be done and she told me that my new total was $150. I went to my appointment and put my dress on again so she could check the bustle. She decided on the spot that she wanted to add more things to my bustle so I stood there while she finished it, even though she said it was already done. Galina told me that she would steam clean mine and my bridesmaids dresses for free if we wanted. At this point, I did not want her to have any of our dresses because I no longer trusted her. When I got home I found 2 pins in my dress and I was lucky that I decided to lay it out or else it could have pricked my ankles. I got what I paid for and I regret bringing my dress to her. I do not recommend her bridal services at all. As I said before, she had my dress for well over a month and kept pushing my appointment times back, always had some excuse, kept promising my dress would be done, and ultimately did not complete my dress per the original agreement. Side note: all my appointments were about 1 week apart, except my 1st to 2nd appointment was about 2.5 weeks apart. read more

Wish I could leave zero stars! I highly recommend going elsewhere for any seamstress needs. There is a reason her prices are so low! A little back story, Galina and her shop came highly recommended by multiple people, I used to live in town but had moved to the north bay a couple years ago. Still come down that way daily for work. My very first appointment with her I showed up 2 minutes early 10:58 AM, to which she rudely responded "your appointment is at 11" okay no problem I can wait 2 minutes I know I'm early. Her shop was an absolute disaster with stuff all over the place. Pins sticking out of the couch cushions that she expected customers to sit at. Fitting room over flowing with other customers dresses and fabric pieces all over the floor to where you could barely get into your gown and look into a mirror. This should have been my first red flag, but I chose to go forward. Big mistake! Over the course of my alterations on both my bridal gown and my nieces bridesmaid dress Galina waited until the day of our appointments twice to tell us she needed more time (because she hadn't had time to work on our dresses) but waited until I was already in town (I live 45 minutes to an hour away). Her reply to me asking her to keep her scheduled appointment was to blame me for coming to her as I'm "not a local, you stress me out". Didn't realize a paying customer was responsible to make sure she kept her appointments! If she only wants locals she should have that posted on her site! On day we had a Thursday evening appointment which is what she asked me to book at 6 pm, at 4:35 she asked to push it back l to 8 PM, I told her I have my niece who is in Elementary school and as long as they were done by 8 we would wait. She promised they would be ready. Well at 7:30 she called and said "okay, how about you come at 9:30!" Absolutely not, I told her I would drive back down Friday as I have my niece. The dresses still weren't done Friday as she blamed us for stressing her out due to not being local!!!! We pushed past the appointment issues and my dress was finally done (after multiple attempts of rescheduling)during my final appointment she had a hole still in my bodice that she had to fix, as well as my bustle! My wedding day came and as I was waiting to go down the aisle I sat down to relax for a moment as nerves got the best of me only to be met with extreme pain in my right calf! I had a LONG sewing needing sticking halfway out of my calf! Blood got all over my dress right before getting ready to walk down, I had to delay while my amazing videographer got a first aid kit and ladies helped clean the puddle of blood off the bridal sweet floor and dress (which is stained with blood now!). The needle was still attached to thread and had to be cut out of my dress!!! I got to spend the Monday after my wedding going to get a tetanus shot as by the looks of her shop I wasn't taking any chances. Please look for someone else who will not ruin one of the most special days of your life! Dealing with Galina and her disorganized chaos was literally the BIGGEST stress of my entire wedding experience. Her shoddy work on both mine and my nieces dress is my biggest regret and wish I would have gone elsewhere. I beg anyone to think twice before they choose to proceed with using Galina, like I said, there's a reason her prices are low, the quality matches and you might wind up injured like me! Editing to now show Galina continues with the lies and still blames the customer. She never made a handmade dress for me, she slightly took in the bodice and added a bustle (which bustle broke and bodice had a hole when I went in for final fitting) added some silicone to straps. I would have NEVER left my dress if I had known there was a leak in the ceiling that could damage my dress as it never appeared my dress was stored in the fitting room as it was always brought out from the sewing room! Highly recommended if you don't want to be blamed for her unprofessionalism and inability to keep a scheduled appointment to seek elsewhere for any of your seamstress needs! Here I am almost 2 weeks later and she still takes no accountability for her actions and is still placing blame on a customer. I would gladly have paid triple or more the price I did for a quality seamstress that wouldn't have injured me. Please go elsewhere so you don't wind up in the same situation as me. Galina is basically a con artist, makes her prices "cheap" but gives even cheaper quality. She never hand made anything for me, she never even started working on our dresses until the day of the appointment as she stated several times to us. My only hope is that this review will help warn others before they decide to place any trust in this person. Based on my experience with her and her business I have to wonder if any of the previous reviews of her are even real. Because the way I was treat and the quality of her work on my dress there is no way anyone would be happy. read more

I don't even know how to start with this. I feel like an idiot. Sometimes you just have to look at the sign and believe it. I made an appointment for bridal dress shopping. Showed up with my mom on time to this little shop in Rodeo. The shop is messy dark it has a weird smell. We were able to overlook all this. We thought it could be a diamond in the rough. Although there are many dresses on the rack, we were not able to try on any of them. Instead we were directed to an online catalog on her iPad to order the bridal dress. I have to tell you it is dirt cheap. Looks like a really good qualities from Italy for under $500, then we saw this dress peeking out from the TJ Maxx back on the floor. Glenda told us the dress was from a recent bridal show so she hasn't had time to hang it up. I tried on the dress and immediately fell in love with it. I tried to order the same dress and she assure me that she would be able to send me the invoice the very next day. She offered to meet me at the bank so I can make the payment to the supplier. Long story short I followed up every day for two or three days and have not heard back on any updates regarding my dress. Today has been a week. Still have not heard any word on order instructions. She told us that the dress would take at least two months to make, not including shipping. Which is kind of long time comparing to other supplier that I have been contact with. This is not a trustworthy place for bridal dress shopping. I was so excited on that day that I have sent her information to my other friends who are also in the process of getting married. Now I feel like an idiot. Please avoid this place. read more

Galina has a great Bridal and Prom Shop for all your needs. Galina has a true gift and she can make your vision come to life. We came for a dress alteration. It was pretty simple . I dropped the dress at 9am and I picked it up at 2:30 on the same day . Talk about great customer service and she only charged me $30! She had a ready to wear collection, she also makes prom wear and she has a tuxedo rental. I really look forward to coming back for beautiful dresses from Galina! Great service and good location near Hercules read more

Beware! This woman ruined my brand new $1,000 dress. It was my worst nightmare and I regret ever taking my dress to her. When I arrived I noticed her business was extremely disorganized. Instead of judging the quality of her work based on on that, I remembered the 4.8 rating online and chalked the disorganization up to possible brilliance. She pinned up my dress and said I could make an appointment for 2 weeks from that day to pick it up. I made an appointment accordingly. Then, I got a message an hour before I had an appointment to pick it up and she asked 1) if I had a picture of my dress, and 2) what I had asked her to do with it. I think she lost my dress in the disorganization and had no idea what to do with it when she found it. She then asked for more time to finish it. I could not pick it up until the following Saturday, a week later because I live 30 minutes away and had other plans/work. Another week goes by. I get another message from her same day of the appointment- she asked for more time because she was at church and wanted to go to lunch with her friends. I said I could wait a few more hours but needed it that evening. When I arrived later that day, she was not ready and did not answer the door. I had to wait 30 minutes for my dress. When I took the dress home, I noticed snags in the threading that weren't there before, uneven alterations that appeared to be a simply cut with scissors that I could ve done myself (but better), and worst of all, my dress now reeks of food because she had been cooking in the same area she stored my dress. Had I known that were the case, I would have never taken my dress to her. She would not give me a refund and now I have to go pay someone else to save my dress before my wedding. When I told her about the dress smelling like food, she said she was sorry, and that she did not have air conditioning. What? I would never take anything to this woman. She may have been good at one time, but now she is terrible. read more

I was struggling to find the 'right' dress for several months before I found Mirabilis on Yelp. Galina is fabulous! I showed her a picture of what I had in mind and told her that it would most likely have to be custom made because I hadn't been able to find the right dress at local bridal shops. She said she could make a custom dress but asked if I would be willing to try on a few dresses she had in her shop. The first two dresses I tried on were close but still not right. The third dress was IT!! It was exactly what I had been trying to find. It needed a few minor changes but on the whole it was THE DRESS!! Galina was so patient and SHE LISTENED to everything I wanted! She absolutely turned what had been a stressful situation into a dream come true! I had been sick for a few months prior and was in the process of losing weight, I explained. She knowingly said yes, of course (like every other bride she's met, I'm sure). She asked how much time I needed before the first fitting. I said 4 weeks! I came back in and she was so understanding about my having lost 10 lbs!! She began a weekly process of tailoring an already fabulous dress to fit MY body. This was the most fabulous experience!! Galina is a bride's Godsend. OMG, it brings tears to my eyes even now, months later. Go see Galina. Tell her what you really want and let her bring it into reality. You will be so thankful you did. read more

Walked in on a random week day and needed alterations done for my dress for my brother's wedding. Galinda was so sweet and helpful and quick. Initially she told me it would be ready in about 2 weeks which was fine because the wedding was more than a month away. Less than a day later, she texted me that it was ready! I went in to try it on, got like a dream and she was able to add a hook in the back for me. Amazing service. I highly recommend her as a seamstress! Please go support her business. read more

I found this little gem through Yelp because I needed to have alterations for my brides maid dress and I didn't trust any of the cleaners in the area especially since they didn't have that great of reviews. Luckily this place is down the street from where I live and with all the great reviews I decided to come after work with my dress. Galina was super nice and easy to work with. She had me try on my dress with my shoes and she did her thing. She asked me when I needed my dress and I told her it was no rush since the wedding wasn't for weeks and she actually had my dress wedding the next week after I dropped it off. So fast and efficient!! Once I picked up my dress the next week she had me try it on just to make sure it was the correct length and it was perfect and inexpensive. I believe she does all alterations and not just dresses! Also, if you're looking for wedding dresses then she has a beautiful selection you can choose from and I believe she even custom makes dresses!! read more

I bought a bridesmaid dress pre-COVID that I couldn't zip up! I was looking for a seamstress in my area. I contacted a couple of places and never heard back. I was then contemplating going to a regular dry cleaners. And I stumbled across this gem! I contacted Galina and she was able to see me the same day I called her! She's so sweet and knows her craft! I was panicking because I had to get my dress altered within 3 days. (I guess I was in denial and thinking I could still fit my dress). When I met Galina, she knew exactly what needed to be done for the dress for my body type! We stayed in contact until I picked the dress up a few days later. She's very reasonably priced and creative! The wedding I was in was yesterday and I received so many compliments on my dress! I'm also getting married in 2 years and Galina will be making my custom wedding dress! I recommend Galina 100000% and glad I found her! Thank you for everything Galina! read more

Worked with Galina pre-COVID and she was amazing. She really has an understanding of what you'd like when you describe it to her and tries to make your dress fantasy a reality (as long as the fabric permits). This store is very intimate and I usually only had 1-2 friends accompany me. Galina has dresses for sale and can also alter anything you have on hand. She has tons of fabric and lace in store and was able to find matching lace to the dress I bought online. Galina was the only individual that was down to earth and gave respect to all clients without trying to rip them of. Other small bridal stores were so frustrating with snobby workers. read more

I could not be move overjoyed by the quality of work done to my dress, she brought the hem up as well as altered the back and the bust of my dress to fit me like a dream.

Galina was amazing! She is the most patient person ever. I had a wedding dress custom made abroad so when it came in it had the worst fit.

Oh and by the way, I went to her a week before the wedding and I didn't expect her to work so fast and didn't charge extra for rush work. She also altered my husband's suit and mom's dress at the same time. Amazing woman! She also does custom dresses and I've seen some of her works in person. You won't be disappointed. read more

I had a terrible experience with Galina. From the very beginning she was nice and seemed to know what she was doing. But then she was delaying the order till the last morning when I had to get on the flight. She delivered an order at 4am and I was waiting for her till 2am to get updates, because I really needed outfits for a conference I ordered them for. Not only all the due dates were not met, she delivered a terrible quality on the pieces. I have shown all of the pieces of clothes to three different designers and seamstresses and all of them confirmed that the quality is very poor: messy stitches, uneven bottoms, poor fit and all other flaws. Again, I would really like to work things out with her, however she said she would not give me any cent back and she didn't even offer to redo her work or pay for another seamstress work if I found one. Beside that, she was not polite to say the least in her email responses and said that she will win in the court, even thought I had no intentions to open a case against her. I've spent 39 hours for fittings, 14 hours for drive to her office and 11 times I drove to her office. Please see the pictures and judge for yourself. If there was less stars than one, I would give that to her. Be aware! This business is a scam!!! read more

Galina is more then just a talented person. She works hard and is very passionate about creating unique fashion designs. I was lucky to work with her at one of the photo shoots where I was a model for her dresses. I was impressed how Galina modified a complete dress design specially for me, so it could fit easily and I could feel comfortable. With Galina's help the dresses became part of my personality. The material that she used for her gorgeous dresses was so soft, pleasant to the touch and of high quality that it was a great pleasure to wear the dresses! I was very pleased to work with her and happy to meet such a great designer! I'll definitely take advantage of her service when I need a special evening dress! read more

Very fast on alterations and did a great job. Very fair pricing, would recommend going here also for veils!!

I dropped off my wedding dress early March with my mother. We decided on Mirabilis after checking reviews very thoroughly. Our first encounter was wonderful - it seemed like everything would go smoothly. Galina was very efficient and was willing to see us weekly. The third visit is when we started having trouble. Because we live far away, we always leave about an hour before the appointment. On April 3rd, thirty minutes before the appointment, I get a voicemail saying that we needed to reschedule. I call back and say don't worry, take your time. I want to make sure my dress isn't rushed. After not hearing from them for a while, I tried to contact them. Anastasia was very prompt about getting back, but told me this is Galina's order. When I called Galina, she sounded very confused and frazzled saying she's on the road. Understanding this, I agreed to call her back. When I called again, she sounded confused again and so I texted her. Everything seemed very unorganized. Via text, we got set up for an appointment and my fiancée and I arrive at the agreed day and time. When we arrive, Galina thought we were someone else and then asked where we lived. After hearing we travelled a fairly far distance, she seemed genuinely apologetic and asked if we could return in two hours. Needless to say, my fiancée was pretty peeved because this isn't the first time and this day was scheduled for pick up. We agree on the next day and when we come into our appointment, we waited 15 minutes to be serviced and then afterward, we see my dress. The dress had straps on like promised with beading which I loved. My main issue was the bustle was not complete. We left the store at 8:00 PM despite having a 6:00 PM appointment to pickup. We felt like nothing was done during the time we gave extra time. We dropped off the dress early March and picked up in May. As far as skill goes, Galina is extremely skilled and has gorgeous work. She's just a bit unorganized - maybe because there's a lot of demand for her work being prom and wedding season. At the end, she didn't know what price she quoted me and I gave the agreed amount to pay despite being bummed out over the experience we had. Price: Very fair (charged $165 for steaming, patching up holes in dress, adding straps, beading, and French bustle) Quality of work: Phenomenal Customer service: Needs organization - product needs to be complete when promised. I feel like if a customer has to wait two additional hours for their service to be completed despite being told it'd be ready, should have some sort of discount for the service. I'm in the service industry and would have definitely gave a price break for the inconveniences caused by me. Galina is a sweet person and I can tell she enjoys the work she does, but seems overwhelmed. I'm giving 3/5 stars because I support small businesses and Galina produced truly amazing work. It would have been 5/5 stars if things were done in a timely manner and product was complete when it was supposed to. My warning to potential customers is to be explicitly clear with what you want and have a very clean cut timeline to avoid slip ups like this. My dress was definitely procrastinated on and seemingly forgotten which makes me very sad. For the dress to be finished after I arrive on pickup day is unacceptable. I saw dresses go home that came after mine. read more

Galina is a super star! We work on engagement shoot . She was able to customized my dress and accommodate me personal design. It was not take it too long for her to do it. She is also a very sweet person that cares for you. I will recommend her bridal collection to brides. read more

Amazing, amazing, amazing!! Galina is so talented, is a true artist, and is so passionate about wedding gowns. Brides, you are in good hands with Galina. I'm so glad to have been able to work with her. Previously I had contacted multiple people about alterations for a dress I had liked, but they all turned me away since I had a tight timeframe. When I told Galina about my situation and short timeframe, she said no problem, and she offered to even make a completely custom dress for me rather than altering one I sort of liked. The dress she made was so beautiful and more than I could've imagined. I feel so blessed to have been able to wear such a beautiful, one-of-a-kind dress tailored just to my body. Thank you so much again Galina! I wish I could give you more stars. read more

See all

Joy was a JOY to work with! She is talented, can customize and design any type of dress...and has a lovely business. I love supporting local business so it was definitely refreshing to find her. I got my dress steamed by her before my wedding day. Thank you Joy for being on top of this!!! read more

Galina is amazing! Her pricing for my wedding dress alterations is unmatched! She was very communicative through phone and texts. She will come to her shop at short notice to meet you. My dress needed lots of work. She met with me 10 to 11 times, making small adjustments each tine. She even problem solved with me to fix certain things on the dress. She was kind and listened to your wants, questions, and concerns. Make sure you cement your appointments though, there were a few times she forgot (LOL)! She also altered my veil. In addition, she designs dresses. She has many on display. They are amazing! They are so detailed, and you can tell this is her passion. She also steamed my dress when it was ready and gave me a free toss garter that she had made. I will definitely go back to Galina for all of my alteration needs! read more
