    So much beautiful lace!!! Dress from BHLDN
    Lauren S.

    Widad worked magic on my dress! I could not imagine how all the lace was going to be get bustled, but she did it! Super easy to work with and worth every penny!!! I was very comfortable with her and she never cancelled or was late for our fitting appointments.

    Widad is AMAZING. So sweet and friendly to talk to during fittings and she is just fantastic at what she does. I believe she said she's been making and altering wedding gowns for the last 40 years... enough said. I trusted her completely and she did not let me down. I honestly don't know what she did, but I walked in needing a new dress or a boob job and walked out of my last fitting with a perfect dress that I fell even more in love with. Only took 3 fittings including the initial consult! It was the easiest and most stress free process of my whole COVID wedding. She also made my veil exactly how I wanted it. I would not take your dress anywhere else!

    PNINA TORNAI COUTURE WEDDING GOWN

    WIDAD! What can I say.... I can ONLY say positive things. I've only done TWO fittings with her. I went to New York's Kleinfeld and immediately fallen in love with a Pnina Tornai couture wedding gown (dream collection). I didn't want to go back to New York for every alteration. That is just too time consuming. I found Widad, online! It took 6 months to make, and less than 3 months of alterations. I gave Widad so much time as I knew some things would be hand sewn, and the dress was quite large on me. She did an amazing work of the bustle (beautiful!). Very detail-oriented. She hemmed to perfection with my choice of heel height. I didn't feel like I would stumble in my wedding gown. I can also sit down with the dress!!! She also took in the dress, and this was quite difficult as it took a lot of hand sewing! My wedding gown has a deep back detail. Luckily, I asked Pnina to give extra 3D floral material in case I needed to cover more butt-crack. Haha, Widad also placed the 3D floral material to hide any indecency from the public!! Totally impressed how she managed to blend in the 3D look with other 3D details. I absolutely would HIGHLY recommend Widad to anyone fearing that other seamstresses would mess up their gowns. My pictures are PROOF that she handled my wedding gown (silk and tulle) with care!!!!!! I will definitely use her with ANY couture gowns/dresses! 5/5. And HIGHLY professional with perfect TIMING. Widad made me feel confident and truly a princess on my wedding day. Thank you so much, this will never be forgotten.

    Back of the dress was altered to my short height. Lace was removed, back shortened, and lace reapplied.

    There is a reason Widad has such great reviews. Although pricey, she is less than what you would pay to re-do your dress should you have a disaster elsewhere and well worth the money. If you want to look and feel beautiful, go to Widad. She is very organized and helps you to figure out when to do each fitting relative to your wedding. She patiently pinned my 20+ layer dress twice (two different fittings) so that I would glide above the ground. Widad also created my veil and fixed the back of my dress to fit my height (a lacy illusion number that required a lot of careful effort to re-create). She even put my mom in her place when arguing over the correct way to do a bustle (Widad was correct!). In the end, my dress fit like a glove and looked like it had been custom made to my body. Everyone said I glowed and I know much of that was due to how beautiful I felt in my dress thanks to Widad's amazing work. Widad even went above and beyond to rescue my maid of honor's dress hemline last minute after being done incorrectly by another tailor. I was entertained by the stories of her life and highly recommend getting to know her as you might learn a thing of two. I recommend paying in cash. Going to Widad was one of the best decisions I made in wedding planning as I never had to worry about my dress after the initial fitting.

    I cannot express with words how happy I have been made! I had purchased my dress online and whenever I received it... the sleeves and neck line were completely off. Not to mention the dress did not fit at all. Widad basically transformed this dress. She's wonderful!! Skillful, honest and fast!! Thank you again, Widad!

    I had my lace Watters wedding gown altered here, and Widad did a wonderful job. She brought in the bodice quite a bit in the waist and adjusted the very delicate lace straps for a perfect fit on my hour glass shape. She also added a beautiful, complicated bustle, and sewed together two custom sashes that I had designed to accessorize my wedding gown and rehearsal dinner dress.I was very pleased with her work, and felt that it was well worth the $800 plus that I paid.

    My dress after Widad altered it!

    Widad is more expensive than other tailors but she is very talented! She is honest and nice which I appreciated. She tailored my dressed perfectly and I have no complaints! She is easy to get a hold of and her location is very easy to get in and out. Thank you so much for everything!!!

    My beautiful dress thanks to Widad :)

    Widad is very talented-- she took every single thing I told her into consideration and made me look PERFECT in my wedding dress. She is sweet, patient, and incredibly good at what she does!

    Widad did an amazing job. The dress looked perfect! She made sure to explain to me everything that was happening and how long everything would take. Her idea of showing the girls who would help me with the dress's train to placed up on the wedding day, be there for the last fitting was genius. Thank you so much Widad!!

I even paid extra to expedite it to ensure everything arrived on time. After months of anticipation, I showed up on dress pick-up day--only to find that the dress was two sizes too big. I hadn't lost any weight, and I later learned that the size ordered was actually the smallest size on the recommended scale for my measurements. It was clear that Gia, the bridal consultant, measured me incorrectly from the beginning. This was incredibly disappointing--especially so close to my big day. I immediately left and took my dress to Wedding Gown Alterations by John, where they had to take in 4 inches at the waist just to make the dress wearable. The total cost of alterations came to $1,200, on top of what had already paid for the gown. This is not the experience or service I expected from a high-end boutique. I'm sharing this review so that other brides don't go through the same emotional stress I did. Double-check your measurements and confirm every detail--don't rely on the boutique's reputation alone.

They had a ton of the dresses in smaller sizes below a size 8 and it did make it hard to envision the dress that did not fit correctly. I really hope they make a change in the future to include more dress sizes above a size 8. Also, if they are having a sale you could get a dress or accessories like a vail for a reasonable price!

I only scheduled with Vera's direct store but as my luck would have it, the store apparently got flooded the day I was flying out and they could not accommodate me whatsoever. However, my bridesmaid found Ivory based on the good reviews and we were able to schedule an appointment online for the next day. I still kept looking online if other stores carried Vera and went to a random one, which they were booked and busy for the duration of my trip, but even they recommended I check out Ivory. I was not sure Ivory carried Vera themselves, but once I showed up, they actually did. They have her newer collections and I was looking for one older, but assured they could have it shipped (as long as it was still being produced/sold). Nonetheless, I made the best out of the experience with Shelby who was very knowledgeable on each dress I tried and really knew how to efficiently maximize our appointment time based on what I was looking for, even though my bridesmaids chose so many for me to try on! I believe I tried on over 10 dresses if I can recall correctly. In the end, I found my perfect dress. No it wasn't Vera, but it was basically exactly what I was looking for that I budged. Shelby still used all their resources to confirm that the Vera dress I did want is no longer in production and my original store likely used that as clickbait to get me in, since they never actually confirmed with me if they did have it. What was even greater was that Ivory is able to ship to my residence in WA and find seamstresses locally. My original store told me they could not ship to any residence, but only to their store. I would have had to make another trip just to pick it up, which I think is a little absurd. Overall, I just felt like it was meant to be and I have no regrets coming here! Long story short, the store was big and beautiful. Everyone was very accommodating (I was able to bring my mom and 3 bridesmaids). They enjoyed the experience with the goodies given while waiting during my try-ons. They also have a lot of incentives/discounts should you purchase day of, but Shelby was not at all forceful and coercing me to buy either. She genuinely wanted me to just be happy with my dress! I left feeling accomplished and so much more excited for my wedding day!
