DO NOT GET YOUR ALTERATIONS HERE! Danielle at Angel Rivera did her best to advocate for me, but…read moreultimately, I ran out of time, and I needed to just take my dress and find a new seamstress in Upstate NY, where I live. I'm writing this to warn future (or current) Angel Rivera brides of my experience with the tailor shop they work with -- Christine's Custom Tailor. My experience was an absolute nightmare. I bought my dress at Angel Rivera, and it was a good experience, but I left there under the impression Angel would be making my custom sleeves (these sleeves were integral to the dress; I've always wanted a wedding dress with sleeves). A conversation happened behind the scenes, and Angel was not doing them anymore. I, unknowingly, arrived at my first fitting to see Robert from Christine's Custom Tailor. Unfortunately, I feel I was sold the dress under false pretenses and promises, even if that wasn't the intention. The first seamstress they assigned me to had to be REMOVED from the project. She gave me different versions of the sleeves that were 4-5 sizes too big, the next version: raw hem, still too big, buttons not equidistant, and one arm with an outside seam down to my mid forearm the other one had a seam down to the bottom of my bicep, the next version: the seam was sown crooked so it did not sit right on my arm whatsoever. I then went to Angel Rivera Bridal Shop to talk to Danielle had this awful experience, and she had to step in and try to advocate for me. Danielle got a new seamstress from Christine's Custom Tailor on the project. She basically had to re-do the whole sleeve 2 weeks before my wedding. She fixed the sleeves and dress a lot, but I still was not being listened to about the lack of structure in the sleeve. And, now there are lipstick stains all over the sleeve. So, long story short, a week before my wedding I have a new seamstress inserting some rigid strips of fabric to the top of the sleeve to provide more structure like I want. Then, I will have to quickly get these to the dry cleaners and pay for a 2-day turnaround because of lipstick stains all over the sleeve. They are small stains, but noticeable to me and not what you expect when you pay over a grand for alterations/custom sleeves. I lost sleep over this whole experience, and after 6 fittings, I am exhausted... one of these fittings being 5.5 hours!!!! There are still random threads/stitches visible on the sleeve and the fabric is pretty roughed up by the buttons. I have very high attention to detail, as should any tailor shop, but this business does not. Save yourself so much mental anguish and take your dress elsewhere. This all could have been avoided if Robert was honest about this team's capabilities from the beginning. They were way in over their heads with this project. Unfortunately, I had to compromise on my original vision because of their lack of skill. I did not want visible seams on the forearm, and now I have them. In the words of my new tailor: 'This is so bad. Why did they do this? These are stitches that should be on the inside, not on the outside like this. Terrible.' Don't expect compensation, let alone an apology, from Robert if they mess up. He's not a bad man, but he is a bad businessman.

I truly loved every part of my experience working with Aleana's Bridal. I came to the salon after…read morealready purchasing a different wedding dress from another salon that I felt pressured into buying, so I was hoping to try on a few more dresses to ensure my dress was indeed "the one." As soon as I stepped into Aleana's, I knew my dream dress was actually there the whole time. Lana, the store owner, did an incredible job making me feel comfortable and confident in my final decision. In each alteration and fitting appointment, Lana's talent and enthusiasm for her work was clear. On top of Lana's support, the expert seamstress Nellie was incredible to work with - truly, top quality craftsmanship. Her alterations had the dress fitting me perfectly, and the bustle she created made my ballgown-style dress even more elegant on the dance floor. An incredible experience working with Aleana's from start to finish!

Wow wow wow. Lana and her team are absolutely amazing and I cannot recommend them enough. TLDR: No…read moreneed to look anywhere else, you have found the #1 bridal shop and team right here. If I could leave 10 stars I would. I found Aleana's Bridal on Yelp last year and it was the first place I went to try on dresses. When we went in November for my first appointment, our consultant, Olivia, was ready with a variety of different dress options for me (as I was very unfamiliar with the different style names etc), and after trying on a few, she knew exactly what I was looking for. Ended up finding the perfect dress that day! We asked for a couple days to commit as we had other appointments the following days, and commitment is scary! After going to one other bridal shop, I immediately knew this was the dress I wanted and that Aleana's Bridal is where I wanted it from. The experience I had at Aleana's was unmatched and the competition simply could not hold a candle to the high bar set by Olivia. We cancelled all other appointments, called Aleana's and paid for the dress that day. Fast forward to getting the dress a few months later... I live in Austin so my mom picked it up from Aleana's and flew over with the dress so I could get the fittings and alterations done in Austin rather than have to fly back and forth multiple times. When I tried the dress on it was quite large on me. I had already ripped off the tags and the seamstress here said she could alter it for me for basically half the price of the whole dress, or I could return it and try again. I was besides myself - this is less than 3 months before my wedding! I called Aleana's and emailed distraught. Lana, the owner, called me back and was so kind and helpful - she texted with me, sent me measurement instructions, and even facetimed me while I was trying the dress on again at the Austin alterations spot. She managed to disarm me and took me out of my mental and emotional spiral calmly and with solutions. She did not argue with me once. Even though it was most likely a mistake made by the designer and not anything Lana and her team did wrong, she still was willing to go above and beyond to help save the day. I ended up taking my dress back from the Austin spot and bringing it with me back to Aleana's when I was visiting home in July. Lana and her magician of a seamstress, Elena, worked with my short schedule and limited availability to get my dress altered to PERFECTION in less than 2 weeks and 3 fitting appointments. Lana was there to check in on the progress and ensure I was not just satisfied but happy with the dress and my experience. Even Olivia came by and checked in. In many cases, the sales person and the owner have no interest in you after the sale is completed, and especially if you have any issues or complaints. Not the incredible women at Aleana's! I cannot even state how impressed I was by each and everyone of them. I got married 2 weeks ago and got SOOO many compliments on the dress and how perfectly it fit. While I don't plan on getting married again (fingers crossed lol) if I ever did - there is no question in my mind where I would go - ALEANA'S BRIDAL will forever have my pick, 10/10 recommend to everyone and anyone! Thank you thank you THANK YOU Lana, Elena, Olivia and Aleana's Bridal overall for your unmatched service, support, care and dedication. If you are looking for a wedding dress dont walk RUN to Aleana's!! (Thank you for coming to my TED talk hehe).

Okay, I wrote a glowing review at first because the process (not necessarily the prices) was so…read moreeasy here. However, the issues with the dresses once they came in for a number of the bridesmaids seemed to never stop. Let's start with quality. It wasn't good. Not only was my dress of poor quality and felt cheap (even though it was over $200). Some were fraying at the seems when we Got them. My dress had a slit that ended up ripping ON THE WAY TO THE CHURCH. I had it on for literally 5 minutes when it ripped. Next, sizing. Some bridesmaids' dresses were either too large or too small. I had to order 3 sizes larger than my normal when measured at this location at the employee's recommendation. No biggie but when the dress came in on man was there a whole lot of extra fabric. The chest area alone was so large that I could have stored snacks in there during the wedding if I left it as is. I had to get a seamstress to completely alter the top of my dress so it would fit, maybe taking out 2 inches from each side of the chest area, removing the cups all together and then having to figure out a way to roll over the fabric over the poor quality boning that lined the front of the dress as it created a weird rolling of the lining on the outside of the dress. It was almost a different top from when we started. Timing. We were told the dresses would come in at an estimated time frame obviously month out, time frame was like a few weeks grace period, and as that time neared the end, we still hadn't heard anything. They didn't return my calls about this but called the bride instead. She didn't give you her money for this dress, I did so I don't know why you were calling her back instead of me. From quality alone, I don't think I would order from this place again. I know they don't make the dresses but with the amount of issues from the dress once I paid for it just never seemed to end.

I stumbled upon Susan Perrone by sheer luck - only I didn't know it at the time. A colleague had…read morerecommended her and since I was clueless about anything-wedding I decided it would be good choice. My dress had arrived late (I ordered from a different place) - 6 weeks before my wedding but Susan was able to fit me in her schedule and get started on alterations right away. My dress was strapless but I felt the need to have my shoulders covered in church and she was able to add sleeves made from tulle that were removable! These straps made my dress feel complete, and I was so happy to have something unique about my dress. My bustle was GORGEOUS she had included I believe 7 bustle buttons - and my very layered Cinderella-like dress stayed up in the bustle the ENTIRE night! (Ever been to a wedding where the bride holds her dress because the bustle fell?) My mother's dress arrived 3 weeks before the wedding (again, from a different shop) and Susan made sure she was able to fit my mom in as well. Turned out that the dress the other shop had ordered was way too small for my mom - and 5 days before the wedding my mom decided to can it. Mom couldn't even sit in the dress!! Luckily - Susan had a dress available in her shop that fit my mother perfectly!! She was able to make some small adjustments that night and 3 days before my wedding my mother FINALLY had a dress! I honestly do not know what we would have done if we hadn't gone to Susan for alterations. She is clearly knowledgeable about gown alterations - and creative! She was able to quickly find a solution to a huge problem for us. I am so grateful for this and I have been back to her shop many times since. I've had 2 other dresses for other weddings altered since and Susan hasn't let me down! I also love her shop, it's very cute and unique and she has a lot of great wedding purses and jewelry to shop for!

It was impossible to find and while there were very similar dresses out there they all missed the mark on 1 or 2 key design elements. Susan and I scoured the internet, we watched clips of the film to see how the dress moved. Looked at dozens of pictures to make sure we were getting the subtle details right. Not only did she do her research she found the dress she would use as the foundation and the material to make my dress at TJ Maxx and saved me hundreds of dollars. Susan absolutely nailed it.
