    Wedding Dress from the back
    Mallory K.

    I am blown away by the speed and beauty of the alterations on my wedding gown. She was willing to alter my dress with ONE DAY NOTICE! It was so small I didn't think there would be enough fabric to let it out. She was super helpful in explaining what she would do and when it would be ready. It fit FLAWLESSLY. I can't wait to get my pictures back!!!

    She did a great job bring up the length of my daughter dress. We were afraid we would lose the fridge on the bottom but we didn't. The seamstress did it all by hand making sure not to lose the shape of the trumpet/mermaid bottom. She was inexpensive for the difficult task. My mom was a seamstress and she was afraid to tackle the dress but said a good job was done. She's very straight forward and honest. She can be very sweet.

    My dress.. Fits perfectly after the alterations made by Miryana.

    I was in search for a great tailor since we moved & am so happy to find my new go-to person for alterations in the area!! Here are some of the wonderful things about this place; 1) customer only parking right behind the premises 2) easy to find location 3) prompt service & fair rates (my dress was to be picked up in less than 10 days, and was pleasantly surprised by the reasonable price. Please note it really depends on what is involved in alterations desired by each client, and for the careful work you're receiving from Miryana you will be pleased with the results & it is worth the price and trip to the shop. 4) Miryana, the owner is so friendly, professional, amazingly skilled, hardworking, and passionate about her work! I was so happy with the result - I returned to her shop in the following week & dropped off 3 more dresses to be altered.

    I would recommend Mirjana for wedding dress alterations! She fixed the work of another seamstress. If you read, you'll see all my reasons below. I paid a seamstress in downtown Los Angeles and she ruined the style of my mermaid/trumpet dress. She hemmed the dress and did not compensate and adjust the flare at knee. She also sowed the train into an awkward bustle. My train wasn't too long and she sowed three bustles in the back and it made the dress look like an A line. I did not notice this until about two weeks before my wedding in photos my sister took. I was so upset. I didn't have time. I read reviews and found Mirjana. She fixed my dress within 5 hours. She undid the unflattering bustle and gathered the dress at the back to compliment my figure. She redid the bustle (only needed 1) and restitched the lace perfectly. It was my dream wedding dress. She comforted me. Made me feel so much better. She was professional. She spent time explaining the work. She also noticed the awkward style and I didn't even have to explain what I wanted. So grateful for her service. If you are in the area, don't bother feeling pressure to go to a big city... she is skilled, talented and fast. I would even drive distance to utilize her services. She's an excellent seamstress!

    So it's been a little over two months since my wedding, and we just got back our professional photos, and every time I see pictures of my dress the same thought comes to mind - Miryana saved my wedding day. Like many brides, you hope to lose some weight to get into a wedding dress you've dreamt of most your life. I found my dress in a boutique in Florida, and the dress had to shipped from Eastern Europe. I was supposed to give plenty of notice to give enough time for alternations - but I neglected to do so, and so I was starting to panic when it was a month before the wedding and still no dress. 3 weeks to go and the dress arrives. The waist is 2 inches smaller than what we ordered, and there is absolutely no way it's going to fit. I had already contacted Miryana to have her do alterations when the dress arrived - she said no appointment needed, to just come in. The Florida boutique owner was having more lace shipped from the dressmaker in Europe to fill in panels on the sides of the dress. (Apparently they sent me the largest size dress they had, so we had to work with what we were sent.) Miryana had me try on the dress and assured me (okay - she kept me from crying) that all would be okay and once the lace arrives, she would sew in the panels. 10 days before the wedding the lace arrives, but there is no matching tulle material underneath to sew the lace on. Miryana says I won't be able to find that color tulle anywhere. I panic again, but Miryana says "don't worry - I'll find something to use". And she did. 7 days before my wedding, she pulled a rabbit out of a hat. She keeps scraps of all kinds of material in her shop, and she found these stretchy pocket inserts that were of a very similar color. I came by to take a look, couldn't believe what she showed me, and said let's do it! What Miryana accomplished in my mind was no less than a miracle. I told several wedding guests prior to the ceremony what had occurred. When they saw me walk down the aisle they were wide-eyed at how great the dress looked and the work Miryana had done. And for those that didn't know what occurred with the dress, they were none the wiser. I love Miryana. I can't recommend her highly enough. She can do anything. Small jobs, big jobs...and if you need a rabbit out of a hat - she's your girl.

    Freedom Brides - One of the many dresses I tried one!

    My experience with Freedom Brides was a rollercoaster--starting with excitement, turning extremely…read morestressful, and ending with mixed feelings. While I found my dream dress quickly and initially received great service, the alteration process became unexpectedly costly, confusing, and emotionally exhausting. I found the perfect wedding dress right away. Jenny was warm and welcoming, and I purchased the gown for $500, with an additional $200 quoted for alterations (sleeves, length, and back adjustment). I was thrilled. A month before the wedding, I scheduled a fitting and discovered the sleeves no longer fit. Jenny re-measured my arms and confirmed my measurements hadn't changed. She admitted the situation was baffling, as only the lower part of the sleeves had been altered. I trusted her expertise and didn't anticipate that the cost of correcting this would fall on me. I returned for a second fitting on 5/7 but Jenny had a personal emergency, so she was not prepared and nothing on dress was changed and she meant to cancel me but for some reason I did not receive that message so I showed up, a 35 min drive one way. I was scheduled for a 3rd fitting on 5/14--just five days before my wedding. At that fitting, I was shocked to find completely new sleeves from a different dress, with a different pattern, attached without my consent. The back of the dress was also still incomplete. The unexpected change made me anxious, but I remained understanding and asked if some original sleeve elements could be reintroduced to maintain a cohesive look. Jenny agreed to add lace back at no extra charge. Then, on 5/16--two days later--I was blindsided by a $682.50 invoice. Jenny described the work as a "reconstruction project," citing hourly charges for the seamstress's work on the waistband, sleeves, back, fittings, corset, and more. At no point had this cost been communicated, and I had not agreed to such extensive work but ultimately it had to be done if I wanted a dress at all. Jenny referenced posted shop policies, but my unchanged measurements and lack of prior notice made the charges feel unfair. She insisted she was doing me a favor , that I should be grateful for all the work and gave me an example of a similar bride whose arm muscles grew over a weekend of moving out. I felt rushed and cornered into paying the full amount without reviewing the invoice in detail. She also warned that one more invoice would follow for that week's remaining work. Jenny said she had to leave town and delegated final coordination to the seamstress. On 5/17--just two days before the wedding--I met the seamstress to pick up the dress. She did a great job reapplying some original sleeve elements, and I was happy with the result. Jenny had promised to send the final invoice that day, but I received it a week later: an additional $341.25. She noted she'd waived charges for her own time, implying the total could have been higher. After the wedding, I carefully reviewed both invoices and found numerous inconsistencies: charges for fittings (advertised as free), work from dates I was unaware of, and charges Jenny had previously promised to waive amongst other details. I emailed her with my concerns and offered to pay a portion of the second invoice. To her credit, she responded by dismissing the invoice entirely, which I genuinely appreciated. The end result: a beautiful dress, but an experience marked by unnecessary stress, miscommunication, and surprise charges. Brides--be cautious. Ask detailed questions, confirm all pricing in writing, clarify what constitutes "adjustments," and plan fittings well in advance. Good luck, and happy wedding! Thank you, Jenny and team, for your efforts and for ultimately ensuring I had a wedding dress for my special day.

If it were solely up to me, I would get married in yoga pants and a ponytail...but we make sacrifices for the person we love. Pros of my visit: Plenty of parking, even in the back. The store has a large selection. The front of the store has formal dress, quinceañera dresses, and even some wedding accessories. The wedding gowns are in the back, sorted by size. Some of them are NWT (new with tags), but most are pre-owned and gently used. There are name brands there. I saw a few Maggie Sotero dresses. No pushy salespeople, friendly and welcoming owner. Cons: The dressing rooms are small and there's no air circulation. Expect to get a workout trying on dresses. You go through the dresses yourself and pull off the rack. I sort of expected a little more since they advertise offering appointments to try on wedding dresses. Walk-ins are accepted too....not sure why you need an appointment for since you're going through the gowns yourself. The prices...woah. I know how consignment works- everyone needs to make a profit (seller and the store), but I've seen brand new dresses for less. Worth a trip if you're just browsing. 3 stars.
