    The sleeves she added to my dress from scratch!
    Ami S.

    Not only did she make my wedding dress fit better than it did originally, she added sleeves entirely out of just scraps I had for extra trim on the bottom that came along with my dress. She cut out each piece and sewed them onto sleeves she made. My mind was blown when I came in for my final fitting. Will absolutely recommend her!!

    Had my wedding dress altered by Sokhim

    I brought in my wedding dress to get altered. I had 2 fittings with Sokhim and both went great! I loved working with her! My dress was from the brand BHLDN, she took up the dress at the straps, added padding to the bust area, and hemmed 6 layers of my dress. I recommended her to a friend who is also currently getting her dress altered with Sokhim! She has years of experience working as a seamstress for an upscale dept store, her shop is based out of a residency, but is setup nicely and she is very professional. The fitting area is very spacious. I would highly recommend coming here to get your wedding dress altered! (BHLDN had given me a list of local seamstresses, and most of them did not have stellar reviews, so I searched on my own and came across Sokhim.)

    When I got my wedding gown back from Sokhim, I could not wait to post my review & pictures but I wanted to wait until after my wedding! Fast forward, I am married now and I am so glad I gave Sokhim a chance. I was nervous about going here because there weren't that many reviews or pictures of wedding gown alterations and it wasn't on the list of referrals from the shop I bought my dress. My dress is really intricate with lace & layers and I can safely say that Sokhim is a miracle worker. Not only did she do my wedding gown, but she also altered my bridesmaid, mother of the bride and mother of the groom dresses. She also made us matching masks! A few things to mention that I really like about Sokhim besides the obvious aforementioned work done on the dresses: - she is fast at responding - she is an honest businesswoman - her prices are affordable - she is quick/efficient with turnaround time - she inputs her own creativity & wit as a seamstress, yet always wants to make the customer happy so the customer always has the last and final say on what work they want done - she is also one of the nicest people to work with and it really felt like I was visiting a relative - she made me feel like a princess (I am one of those brides that have everything planned and picked out in advance but my wedding dress is the last thing I shopped for because of my overwhelming anxiety and low self esteem of my body - I felt like I was going to be a hideous fat bride) - her work really made me feel confident and beautiful on my wedding day! Thank you so much for being a part of my magical day, Sokhim!

    Sokhim helped alter my wedding dress in just four weeks - and did an INCREDIBLE job with it! She was so kind and understood exactly what I needed, and then brought her own suggestions that were 1,000% needed. She suggested changing out the zipper on my dress which was a MUST change, she created the world's simplest bustle hooks that perfected the line of the dress, and added things like bra cups and an internal synch to help keep the dress up. She's a wealth of knowledge and her expertise is SO appreciated. I also think for the price, she's an incredible deal. I was suggested to use Sokhim by my dress vendor, I Do Bridal, and I am glad they sent me to her!

    Sokhim was recommended to me by the shop where I bought my wedding dress and separately by a friend who had her wedding dress altered by Sokhim. Sokhim did an amazing job altering my wedding dress. I thought the fit of my dress wasn't terrible going in, but it definitely needed hemmed. Sokhim showed me how the dress was supposed to fit. Once she pinned it up for me, I was shocked at how much better it looked. She took a dress I loved and made it better. One of my favorite things was that she engaged me in conversation about how I wanted the dress to fit, how much room I'd need to sit down comfortably, how to accentuate different features, etc. She has a lot of knowledge and experience and it shows! My dress also has a lace/beaded train and beaded bodice. She had to move the lace part of the train into the right position after hemming. You would never even know it was altered, though. She did a flawless job and the train was absolutely perfect. She is also super easy to work with, sweet, and funny. The fittings were quick and efficient, and she made sure to work in plenty of time for a second and third fitting, making sure I was comfortable with the timeline. I can't recommend Sokhim enough!

    Bridesmaids dress

    July 2020 - I needed a last minute and local Seamstress last summer to alter my bridesmaid dress. I came across Sokhim and after reading her reviews, I gave her a call and she was very nice and reassuring that could get it done when I needed it at a very decent price. She took in the dress at the waist and hemmed a few inches off. It was ready and neatly pressed when I picked it up! Few days later, I had contacted her again for my daughter's flower girl dress for her satin sash to be sown to it so it wouldn't move around during the wedding. She took the dress and said I could give her $5 whenever I am in the area and trusted me. March 2021- My maternity dress came in the day before my maternity photos and it was too long! We had to get pictures done the very next day. I called Sokihim and told her my situation. Like the last 2 times before, Sokhim had came to the rescue again! She's very accommodating, honest and will go out of her way for her clients. She is now my go-to seamstress if I ever need alterations on any more of my clothing.

    I am SO happy I came here for my wedding dress alterations. She was amazing and made me feel special each time I came in. I went in initially for a quote and she was so warm and kind. I ended up booking her for my alterations and my expectations were exceeded. She walked me through the process and made sure I knew what the cost of each of my asks would be upfront. My dress was quite intricate and she made sure none of the beauty was lost. I had my dress hemmed, bustled, cap sleeves added, taken in, and cups added. I HIGHLY recommend coming here!

    Sohkim is a DREAM! Sohkim tailored my wedding dresses to perfection. She even added structure and support to make sure the right places were enhanced! In every fitting, she made me feel so comfortable and listened intently to make sure I was happy with how everything looked. I also appreciate that she's an expert at her craft and was so insightful when it came to design recommendations and overall fit suggestions. Sohkim, thanks for being my second mom (my biological mom is in California haha ) and for making me look and feel so beautiful!!! Highly recommend Sohkim and will definitely be back.

    After, the dress was perfect!

    I would highly recommend Sokhim, she's truly a professional and knows her craft! My daughter needed to get some alterations done for her prom dress. When we bought it, it was a bit too long for her and we were concerned she would trip on it. We wanted her to feel beautiful, and comfortable, and not have to worry about the dress on her special day. Sokhim was able to pull it off in two weeks! She made sure it was the perfect length, fixed the back zipper so it would lay perfectly along her curves, and adjusted the chest area to fit nicely. I didn't think it would be possible, considering the beading and all the work that needed to be done, but Sokhim seriously pulled some magic on this one and did such a great job. Thank you so much!

From the very…read morefirst phone call to inquire about alterations for my wedding dress, I could already sense that she was so warm, attentive, and genuinely kind. Meeting her in person only confirmed it. She listened carefully to every single one of my needs and accommodated each one with such grace and care. My wedding dress is chiffon, and she created the most gorgeous custom bustle in the back that made it look beautifully layered and flowing. Beyond her extraordinary skill, she made me feel beautiful. She complimented me, lifted my spirits, and even took the time to teach me how to walk without tripping on my train. That kind of thoughtfulness goes so far beyond what any seamstress is required to do. After I picked up my perfectly hemmed, bustled, and altered dress, I had a small panic moment (actually, a major panic moment) when I realized the style looked slightly different than I remembered from when I originally ordered it from Anthropologie. I called Svetlana in a near meltdown, and without hesitation, she invited me to come in that very same day. Within 20 minutes, she had fixed everything flawlessly!! I was in disbelief!! Svetlana is a true miracle worker, and anyone who gets to work with her is incredibly, incredibly lucky. I will be forever grateful that she was a part of my wedding journey!!! I love you, Svetlana!!!!

Her advice saved me money and helped ensure my dress looks best for the big day, and I'm so grateful! I recommend coming to her if you need guidance on alterations needs! I will bring other clothes back to her bc she has my total trust now!

My wife and I were in a pinch to get our wedding dresses altered (due to taking a while finding the best dress) before our elopement in August. I reached out to several alterations places end of and they didn't have availability and were booking for fall weddings, it wasn't looking great. I was then referred to Iwona, and she was so reassuring and was very open to not only taking on my dress to be completed by Aug 1, but also my wife's dress. Iwona altered both of our dresses in tandem and kept both of them a secret to the other because we wanted a big surprise. Each of us went in for several quick sessions a few weeks in a row, it was so easy. She is a wizard at altering dresses, it is truly incredible the work she does. The number of hours and details and precision that goes into each dress that has to be exactly what the bride wanted. Iwona- you are truly so talented! I also typically do not like dresses and was not looking forward to wearing one when I was shopping, but when I met Iwona for initial consultation and talked about alterations, I felt reassured it could turn out really great. She made the dress I found come to life and feel so flattering through her alterations. She is so kind as a person and skilled at what she does, and I felt like we were on the same page the whole time. She even finished the dresses a few weeks before the date we decided just in case we wanted more adjustments. She absolutely puts 100% in her projects and is a powerhouse seamstress Iwona made me feel really beautiful in my dress and I can't thank you enough!! My wife's dress turned out so wonderfully, it was such a fun surprise to have a first look at our dresses and see Iwona's magic. I wish I had more dresses for Iwona to alter! I couldn't recommend Iwona enough for trusting someone with altering your wedding dresses. Thank you so much Iwona for your wonderful work and kindness.

    The Bespoke Clothier completely changed how I think about fit. If you have a hard-to-fit body type,…read moreyou know how disappointing even "altered" clothes can be. I brought Gabriel a designer suit that still didn't feel right after store alterations. He was pretty honest--said the best it could become was a 7/10--and then went to work. He adjusted the shoulders, chest, sleeves, lapels, which required him to move every single button. It was literally a completely different suit. And for the first time, it actually fit the way it should. Since then, I've gone back for five custom suits, multiple shirts, and my favorite, an overcoat (which I'd avoided for years because of off-the-rack fit issues). Every item has come out perfectly tailored. If fit has always been a compromise for you, it's worth seeing what Gabriel can do. Adding some photos, but I'm not a fashion/textiles photographer. It's harder than it looks.

My posture is very upright and that just makes the chest issue even more difficult. There aren't many places in the US outside of New York that do real bespoke -- patterns cut from scratch. I'm glad I found Gabriel. He has a great understanding of classic men's style and proportions. The suit he made for me is very comfortable and continues to get better as the canvas takes the shape of my body. I keep looking for areas to make micro improvements for my next project with him. But to be honest, the fit is so good I'm not sure there's much to change other than experimenting with other styles, like a double breasted. I plan on commissioning something from him every year as long as I stay in Washington. The super tight, short jacket with the bum exposed, with skinny lapels was trending for a while on off the rack clothing. Even some made to measure places make suits like this. If you are looking for a suit to wear for the next 10 years, I encourage you to give Gabriel a try and have him make something timeless for you.
