    My dress in her little shop!
    Letitia J.

    Olena was great! She was very upfront about prices and ways to alter my dress. It was very easy to set up an appointment. To some people, she might sound a bit cold over the phone, and even at the first meeting, but she is really just a direct person. You drive up to her house, enter through her front door, walk up the stairs, then knock. I'm writing this down because the first time I went, I wasn't sure whether to knock on the door or try it. The dress I brought to her was too big for me, so after telling me what needed to be cinched up/hemmed and giving me a quote, Olena even told me it would be better for me to just buy the dress in a smaller size to save money. It turns out she was able to do something with the straps that allowed the dress to fit more cleanly. She altered the dress that day, and I was able to pick it up the next morning! It was SO quick. She did a wonderful job, and I'm very happy with the end product. It was a bit on the expensive side - I compared prices with my other friends who had to get the same hemming elsewhere and they paid lower. But honestly, with such quick alternations, and Olena doing a great job, I would go back to see her for other dresses.

    My dress after just the first fitting - she had no issue working with a textured fabric.

    Olena is so talented. My wedding dress was from BHLDN which doesn't do tailoring, and I was so nervous to put it in someone else's hands. Olena was easy to schedule with (I came in from Chicago for my appointments), and she made each appointment simple, her pricing is fair, and my dress is stunning. I had no idea what to do for a bustle, and she came up with the most gorgeous waterfall effect - I've never seen anything like it! The photos are from the initial fittings, but you can see even as her work in progress the dress was adjusted beautifully. I can't wait to wear this dress for my upcoming wedding, and I will recommend Sewing Cinderella to every one of my friends getting married.

    With so many glowing reviews, I chose to go here. My experience with Olena was poor to say the least. She was not friendly. She was aggressive, highly opinionated/dismissive of my requests, and in the end rushed me out of her place unsatisfied and confused. To get to the alterations portion of her home, it is un-pleasant and cluttered from entry to/including the room where she measures you for alterations. At my last alterations appt, When I asked her if she was finished with my dress because I had seen the rough hem when I tried it on, she looked at me like I had severely offended her and told me "of course it is". She is intimidating and therefore not someone that is easy to stand up to in the moment, especially when it involves your precious wedding dress, so I left with it. She did do some good work on the upper portion of my dress and the bussel, but as you can see in the photo I have attached, the top photo is the hem of my dress when I went home with it. When I called her to ask her to re-hem it due to actually wanting it to be shorter, she told me to go to someone else, that she wouldn't make it shorter because it would look bad in her opinion. I went to someone else, who cleaned up the hem as shown in the bottom photo and shortened my dress as requested. My 2nd seamstress also noted this: "...the side seam(the seam that joins the front of the skirt to the back of the skirt) had a more than 4 inch discrepancy..." With all of this being said, it should be a fun, magical, and lovely experience going to get your dress altered for your wedding, & the way that YOU want it to look, but instead it was anxiety filled each time. I do not recommend that you go here for dress alterations.

    Dress that was altered and you can't even see the clear elastic she added to the straps!

    Love love love! Olena was FAST, and such a professional. She recommended small changes that I never even considered -- for example, my wedding dress sleeves were off-the-shoulder style and she recommended putting in clear elastic on the straps so I could lift my arms more. She also added a 6-point bustle, hemmed and took the dress in.

    My dress fit beautifully and the bustle was wonderful! Trust that she knows what she is doing even it you get nervous at the fitting!

    See all

    They only do dresses not regular clothes but they responded promptly and politely which is rare these days.

    Olena is more than a "Sewing Cinderella", I'm calling her Grand Rapid's "Sewing Fairy Godmother"!

A few weeks ago I brought in a bridesmaids dress for my brothers wedding That I was in. I told them when the wedding was and I was given a date to pick it up one week before that, which was a Thursday. I was not able to pick it up that weekend due to being out of town. I had planned to get the dress that Monday. On Sunday I got a phone call from the owners daughter asking if I was going to pick it up. She then said that the owners were going to be gone and the store would be closed the whole next week including the following Saturday (the wedding day!) I told her I was planning on coming Monday. She proceeded to tell me that she would meet me at the store and open it just so I could pick it up! I was very appreciative and told her.. thank you and I'm writing a review because that's what small business' are like and we need to keep them in business! So PLEASE... go to Ha for your alterations. It will be worth it! Brandy

(3 inches larger around in my rib cage in 2 months? I think not.) She had altered my strapless wedding dress to sit far too low on my body and when trying to fix it, made the bust far too big and it now gaps at my chest. I wanted to get out of there asap and will bring it somewhere else to get finished. Good chance you leave there feeling like shit and responsible for their mistakes.
