Would not recommend having your bridal dress alterations done here - very poor quality job. After having alterations done here to my wedding dress, I had to take my dress to a different bridal tailor who luckily was able to save my dress. Very stressful experience.

Paula and Jo were my wedding dress saviours! After trying gowns at countless boutiques, I couldnt seem to find what I wanted. After one appointment, they turned my dreams into a reality. Every fitting was an absolute breeze and such a joy to watch my gown come to life. The love and dedication behind it is beyond words. Thank you so much to Paula and Jo.
