    Heidi is the best in the business. She has so much experience and her attention to detail is amazing. I feel so lucky that we got to work together. She was always so patient and kind throughout the process and make sure my wedding dress fit perfectly. Her onsite services are worth their weight in gold. Being a wedding planner, I've seen so many wedding dress disasters, so having Heidi onsite to ensure everything is perfect and that you look amazing on your wedding day is a must. Thank you Heidi!! I appreciate all of the long hours you put in to make my dress perfect!

    Heidi and Violet were angels from above on our wedding day! They perfected my dress, tailored my husband's tux, and took care of every last detail. Not to mention they are quality people passionate about their work. Thank goodness Heidi is 5 mins down the road from me. I look forward to a long and fruitful relationship with her! If you aren't sure, it is so very worth it to budget for these ladies to be there on your big day - saved us and presented us in perfection! Thank you!

    We first heard of The Wedding DeTailor through our wedding planner since we were having a Napa Valley destination wedding and are originally from Boston. I knew I would be flying with my dress and given the uniqueness of the material, that it would need to be professionally pressed/steamed before the big day. I spoke with Violet about different packages and ended up booking them for my dress and my husband's tuxedo since we were also flying with that. I also was going back and forth for months on what my "something blue" could be and Violet suggested a small monogram on the inside of my dress. It was perfect! We decided on a font and she sent me a sketch of it and we decided to do my new initials so I had my something new and my something blue! We flew into Napa on Monday and our wedding was on a Friday. The original plan was to drop off the dress and tux on Wednesday and pick up on Thursday afternoon. When we got to our hotel on Monday my sister and MOH had a little meltdown because her bridesmaid dress was altered terribly. I asked her to put it on for me and I agreed that it has been altered too tight and it bunched up in the front which made the dress look very unflattering even though my sister is tiny! I immediately called The Wedding DeTailor and Heidi said she would be able to squeeze us in on Tuesday to take a look at what was going on with my sister's dress. We showed up on Tuesday and Heidi worked her magic on my sister and started undoing (right in front of us) a lot of the stitching the former tailor had done! She is highly recommended and so we knew we were in good hands. As I went to show her my dress for the scheduled pressing and monogram I noticed that during the transport my dress had ripped and the front of it got all bunched. She had me put on the dress and she again started to work her magic and undoing all of the terrible work my Boston tailor had done. You would think as a bride, 3 days away from her wedding, and seeing someone completely undo previous alterations, that I would be a complete wreck - wrong! I was suddenly so calm and knew that she would do everything she could to make my dress look perfect. My sister and I came back on Thursday as planned to pick up both dresses and were blown away by the outcome. Both dresses (and the tux) were perfect! Had I lived in Napa I would have used them for all of my alterations - but I am so glad and thankful that they were so accommodating and helpful during such a busy time! They even picked up my dress the day after my wedding at my venue and shipped it out for preservation (something I hadn't even thought of)! They go above and beyond and really care about the intricate details in their work - and it shows!

    The Wedding DeTailor came highly recommended by my wedding coordinator at Auberge du Soleil, therefore I knew these ladies were the best in the business - they did not disappoint! I hired Violet and her team for the day of the wedding to press my dress, my husband's tux and the wedding party dresses. Violet emailed me the second my dress came via FedEx from NYC and assured me it would be delivered to Auberge in pristine condition the day of my wedding. They perfected my dress! Not a single wrinkle, every single detail was taken care of including my husband's tux. This service is a must on your wedding day - I was that bride that did not know what a bustle was... Violet was my cheerleader and my guardian angel on my wedding day. She made me feel at ease and calmed my nerves. She made sure I looked great in my photos and was so sweet and fun! Reminding me that this was my day and to not worry about a thing! I cannot thank the Wedding DeTailor and Violet enough! They girls are amazing and truly make you feel special on your wedding day.

    Heidi of SewHeidi Wedding De-Tailor is a complete lifesaver and a gem! I had a very disappointing experience with my wedding dress. The designer's production house made my dress incorrectly twice! I'm talking completely wrong fabric the first time, and then adding Crinoline between the liner to a dress that was meant to drape on the body; it was actually quite alarming. There wasn't enough time for them to make a third, so the end results were I was given the sample dress of the one I ordered at a discounted price, which was 2 sizes too big. The bridal salon, with only a week to turnaround alterations before I left for my wedding, had done an okay job, but I still had many concerns with the way my dress when I left (to tight here, too loose there, bunching around the waist, pulling of fabric). It was disappointing and stressful! Thankfully, I knew of Heidi and her good reputation as I was referred and had engaged her services for the day of the wedding. SO with a little hope, I called her up when I arrived to California (with only 4 days before my wedding!) to see if she had time to possibly fix my dress. I can't tell you how fortunate I was that she was available! She had me try on my dress, accessed the issues, said to come back in 1 hour, and presto... in a little under 2 hours of seeing her, I came back to try it on again and it fit like a glove! I felt so relieved, beautiful and COMFORTABLE in my dress for the first time! Heidi saved us numerous of times the day of the wedding as well. Some examples: The boys had forgotten cuff links... she made them some. My mom's wrap was too clunky... she fixed it... My father-in-laws shirt was too tight around the neck...she moved the button. My bridesmaid's bra straps were sticking out from her dress... she built in straps to hold them in place. This was in addition to the steaming and pressing of all of our bridal party's attire the she and Violet did, assisting at the shoots, and just being so great to me and my family! Violet was even so kind to bring me a glass of champagne after seeing how nervous I was after a few bridal portraits, before heading out to do our first look. Not only is she a true miracle worker, she and her daughter, Violet, have such beautiful and welcoming spirits; I felt instantly comfortable with both of them the instant I meet them. It was as if they were a members of my family (ones I like that is!). Not only were Heidi's talents extremely appreciated, but her incredible energy was priceless to have around amongst the chaos. It was like she sensed any tension and magically, she flashed her calming smile and shared a few words and somehow everyone was smiling. If you want peace of mind on your wedding day, she is your lady! I give her and Violet my upmost recommendation and admiration! Tom and I LOVE YOU!!

    From start to finish, I had such an excellent experience with Dare and Dazzle…read more * It was the only place that I could find within a few hours drive of me in northern NV that rents dresses and will let you try on that exact dress in-salon. The rental prices are so great, but I feel even the purchase prices are reasonable! I love supporting this woman-owned small business! * Their inventory is online, so I could prepare ahead of time to know what my favorites are and request them to be in-salon ahead of time. Spoiler alert: the dress that was my favorite online ended up being THE ONE! * They had plus-sized (or maybe mid-sized) inventory. It seems that they try to carry all sizes up to 20 for most, if not all, of their dresses. I ended up being a size 20 (I'm an XL or size 14 in regular clothes), so I topped out the size range. I do wish it could be a bit more size-inclusive there. I had gained a little weight after my fitting and before my wedding and had a lot of anxiety about me potentially not being able to fit in it, and there being no larger size. (It ended up fitting, thank you corset!). * I made an appointment online, instead of being forced to call on the phone, which I greatly appreciate as an autistic introvert! On that note too, all communication after my dress purchase in-salon was done via email. I sense the owner may be an introvert too haha! * They really treated my guests (in-person and Facetime!) and me like we were the only ones that mattered and let us try on anything that was picked. The owner, I believe her name is Hien, took her time and walked me through trying on different dress types, to get an idea of the shape I wanted. She left my favorite dress for last, the one I ended up picking! * There is a very sweet and talented hair and makeup artist Alexa that showed up for my appointment who gave me a free consult, even though my wedding was out of state and I wasn't going to be able to use her. I now follow her on social media! Seeing myself in THE DRESS with a quick but beautiful hair and makeup look gave me the whole picture, and made me more confident that I was picking the right dress. * Hien offers tailoring a bustle on and height tailoring based on your heel height, for a very reasonable additional cost. * The shipping to me was perfect, it arrived a few days ahead of when we needed it. The box even had a handle to make carrying it around the venue much easier! * I did have it steamed by professionals a few days before the wedding, and I'd say that's necessary as it does come with a few creases, naturally. * The box it came in had a prepaid shipping label inside, so all I had to do the day after the wedding was put it back inside the box it came in, tape it up, and put it in the mail! The people who steamed it ended up not returning the box, so while they were frantically trying to find it, I emailed Hien that there was a possibility I needed their address to mail it myself, and she responded next day with a new prepaid label. So nice! (The professionals found the original box though). It ended up getting delivered back to them in a week, through the holiday shipping mess. * Most importantly, I got SOOOOO many compliments on the dress, not only from my guests, but also from tens and tens and tens of people that we walked by on our wedding day photo shoot. I felt the most gorgeous I've ever felt in my life, like a glamorous old-school Hollywood movie star, and the dress (Malala) played the biggest role in that. Thank you Hien and Alexa for preparing me for my dream day!

    I have had my eyes on this shop for a while now, and it exceeded my expectations far more than I…read morecould have ever imagined! The shop is beautiful and perfectly sized for a private bridal party. I was in awe as soon as I walked in. Its design is well thought out and thoughtfully put together. The ceiling is high, and it feels magical to walk into. Hien is amazing to work with. I felt beautiful in all of her amazing gowns. She listened to what I wanted and was able to pull the dress that ended up being my Yes to the dress! The gowns are made to be rented and have built in bras and corsets that allow the perfect fit for people of all sizes. It was nice to be able to find my dress and know how I would look and feel in it without having to think of alterations. I was able to have a private appointment with 7 of my bridesmaids/family. We brought our own champagne and spent a little over two hours trying on dresses. It was a really fun experience for everyone. A few of my bridesmaids were able to try on some bridesmaids dresses as well. Dare and Dazzle offers a sustainable and affordable wedding gown option. They are a small Asian owned business with a lot to offer to the wedding industry. The gowns are incredibly well made. They are the quality of a $2k+ gown at a fraction of the cost. I can't rave about them enough and I hope more brides can find this shop to rent (or buy) the dress of their dreams!

I ended up being charged more than the quoted amount and had to bring my dress back a few times because she missed some basic things. I don't think the person whos doing alterations there is still there so perhaps this review is quickly outdated, but I would say there's definitely not the kind of attention to detail I would have appreciated being at this price point and for this kind of thing where attention to detail for wedding dresses is so important. Every time I've been there, there's been some brides trying on beautiful gowns, so it seems like they have a good selection of dresses if that's what you're in the market for!

I had gone…read morebridal dress shopping twice previously, with two different entourages in two other cities, and I was feeling discouraged about what I wanted, and pleasing others. First of all, PLEASE make an appointment with them. They have a small staff, and are quite busy accommodating brides! I was incredibly lucky to be greeted by Seneca, who after listening to my sob story offered to squeeze me in for an afternoon appointment to try a couple sample dresses I'd seen listed on Stillwhite. She was such a sweetheart, and when I returned for my appointment, had the two dresses I'd requested pulled, as well as a few others of the similar style. Although I didn't have a group with me, Seneca was incredibly patient and supportive while I mulled over the dresses, and hyped me up to fall in love with my original vision. Some of the sample dresses being sold are quite affordable for the budget conscious bride which was a huge plus! Additionally, I've seen fantastic reviews about their in house alterations. Highly recommend whether you're lost in your wedding dress search, or if you want an exceptional experience picking exactly what you want!

I can't believe I paid $765 (plus a hefty $125 PREPAID consult fee) to have a simple layer shortened and then be told that I have to live with the way the dress looks.

All the vendors worked together seamlessly, which speaks volumes about both her planning skills and her professionalism. Janice is also extremely well-connected and has relationships with the most talented vendors--musicians, cake designers, calligraphers, florists, and more. She curated a team that worked beautifully together and truly brought the event to life. Above all, Janice is incredibly thoughtful--she thinks of everything and goes out of her way to help in any way possible. One of the things I also appreciated most was how budget-conscious Janice was--she focused on getting true value and never suggested spending money where it didn't make sense. That gave me a lot of confidence in every decision we made together. Thanks to her, we had an unforgettable celebration that felt effortless for us as hosts.

She was then so helpful with any questions we had while we were booking vendors and coordinating with them over the intervening months. By the time we got to a month out from the wedding everything was pretty much already set! Janice was so incredibly helpful, super responsive, detail oriented, and extremely professional. When the wedding day came our day went off without a hitch! We were completely relaxed all day because of the trust that Janice had already built-we knew she would move whatever mountain needed to be moved to make the day perfect. During the day she was the perfect amount of attentive to verify a few last details with us but mostly left us to just enjoy the day while she took care of everything else. She was also so attentive to our families during the day, always making sure they had food and drink and everything they needed, which was such a sweet level of service and care.
