This seamstress doesn't even deserve one star. I bought my Made with Love Rosey wedding gown from Vows and wanted some customization done. Violette was one of the three seamstresses recommended by the shop and so I assumed it would be excellent service. This was the worst seamstress experience I have ever had. Do not take your wedding dress here!!!! Her craftsmanship is sloppy and she left jagged edges and unfinished seems all over my dress. I ended up having 6 fittings the last three were supposed to be the last one but she just didn't finish. She acts friendly and is pleasant to be around but she doesn't even remember you name or any details for that matter. Please take your dress anywhere but here. read more

Violette did the alternations for my wedding dress. I was concerned mostly with quality of alternations, since my dress was pretty inexpensive as far as wedding dresses go. However, it needed some major alterations. It had to be brought down at least 2 sizes in the waste and hips, plus I needed halter straps added. (why so many strapless dresses?!?!) Violette had great recommendations so I went with her. When I dropped off the dress to her 4 months a head of time, she did the initial fitting and had measured for the halter straps. The dress had some beautiful details I was worried about (lace appliques along the one side, tulle wrap around and tulle over the dress part.) but when I came back (after only about 1.5 weeks), the dress fit beautifully and there were no obvious places where she made adjustments. I took it home and she said that I should come back a month before the wedding and we can check it again. The only tweak we ended up having to do after the initial fitting was that she had added halter straps that were white and the dress is off white (I didn't even notice myself until I had taken the dress outside after someone at Mens Warehouse had mentioned that in passing! Indoors it looks like an exact match!) I brought it back and she remade custom straps within a week. It was an easy mistake that was easily changed, and in fact, the second strap she made was even better than the first! She told me that if I lost any more weight before the wedding to bring it back and she would make more adjustments... even up to the week of the wedding. It wasn't necessary btu I felt good knowing that she was quick and wanted to make me happy. I wore that dress for a solid 10 hours and was totally comfortable the ENTIRE time. I would recommend her to anyone. She is a very sweet woman, and very accommodating. read more

Alterations By Violette - the dress was fit perfectly and the halter straps she added were great! - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Arlington, Massachusetts

I'm not from the area, so I turned to Yelp to find a person to provide alterations to my wedding dress. Needless to say I was nervous about handing my wedding dress over to a complete stranger, but Violette was so kind and did an amazing job!! My dress is a larger ball gown with a three foot train. She charged a very good rate for the hours of work she put in. I called her in May to schedule my first round of fittings. I had three total fittings, about a month apart from each one. Her office is also so gorgeous on the inside, don't let the outside fool you. I'll be recommending her services in the future! read more

Violette did a great job on altering my dress. My wedding was in August and I called her in May, but i didn't see her until June. She also makes veils but I didn't need one. read more

I cannot thank Violette enough for her amazing work on my wedding dress. She is an incredibly kind, talented, and attentive seamstress. The back of my dress needed major alterations, and Violette listened to all of my concerns and came up with great ways to address them. Violette had me feeling beautiful on my wedding day! read more

Violette was wonderful to work with and the prom gown alterations were finished right on time when promised. Highly recommend.

Violette was suggested to me by a friend, as she does the alterations at Camilla's in Arlington. I bought my dress at the Filene's Basement event, so the dress didn't come with any inhouse seamstress. I called Violette to set up an appointment, and she was really nice. She even offered to come to me if I didn't want to travel to her place. Unfortunately, I wasn't feeling well on Monday when I was scheduled to see her. No problem by her and we rescheduled for two weeks from now (which gives me that more time to try to drop a couple pounds). The rate she quoted me seemed really reasonable, which I appreciate as my dress isn't that complex (no beads, lace, etc). She also said turnaround would be about two weeks, which is nice as it still gives me time without stressing too much. Hopefully things will go as well with the face to face meeting as the phone calls! read more

Violette did a wonderful job on my wedding dress :) I was worried about finding the right place for the right price as I'm on quite a budget for my wedding but this is the place to go. Violette was able to alter the top part of my lace wedding dress, sew in cups, and make a beautiful bustle for an affordable price. She knew what she was doing and you can't even tell it was altered. She was also able to do these three different alterations in one month which was great! Not only this but she said if I gained or lost weight in the time prior to my wedding, I could come back and she would alter it further for no additional cost. I would definitely recommend Violette to anyone else and will not hesitate to go back. read more

I first found Violette a year ago while googling seamstresses in Boston. Granted I didn't need the gown until Sept of this year, I needed it much earlier so that I could do my bridals. I gave her a call & asked for a quote. However, she wasn't able to give me one of the phone so she stopped by the next day for a consultation. Although a little pricey compared to some of the other seamstresses I found, she did a great job in the bustlework. Negative 1 star for taking off too much crinoline & making it uneven (but hardly noticeable by anyone but me) when she hemmed the gown. She dropped the gown off a week later, no muss, no fuss. She even pressed it for me! Flash forward to August of 2009. I frantically called her because I noticed that the numbers on the bustle had rubbed off when I cleaned it after the bridals. Violette invited me to her home & re did the work for me as well as re-pressed it. She even offered to store my gown in her basement until the actual wedding! She's very sweet, kind & caring. It was great working with her! read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. I am sitting in my car after picking up my hack-job hem. DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE FOR BRIDAL ALTERATIONS. I brought my lace gown to be hemmed shorter to accommodate going barefoot (outdoor wedding) and called as a last minute to see if she could 2 weeks before (I know this is a crazy request). She took me and said she would do it. Told me on the phone "i'm sure everyone else told you no but I can't say no to the bride" and we laughed about it. I go, she says she can do it it in the allotted time. Fast forward to today, she only takes cash so I call ahead to make sure I withdraw the correct amount. I told her my name and SHE COULD NOT FIND MY DRESS. I had to send her a picture of it over text message and she said she found a slip with a "Danielle" for the name. I said that is not my name and then she asked how much I originally was charged. I could not remember the exact number and gave a ballpark to which she told me $600. I knew it was not that much but all of the red flags aside, I needed my wedding dress. I go to pick up and she jokes asking if "I was scared" that she forgot my dress as she is grabbing THE WRONG DRESS. I tell her that it is the wrong one and she goes through all of the dresses on the rack only to turn around to the rack of dresses that she was still working on. I point to the bag that I recognize and she grabs my slip. She never even started my dress. At this point I am about to cry because I am on my way to leave for my wedding this weekend. She tells me that it will take "1 hour, maybe more". After 40 minutes she calls and says she is done. She clearly took a million shortcuts to make it work, the strap which she shortened is about to rip. The lace hem was slapped together with obvious stitching. To really drive it home she still wanted her $450 (original cost) and would not hand me my dress until I paid her. I gave her $440 and she joked that she "didn't need any more". PLEASE AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS. read more

Violette did an amazing job with my wedding dress! I would recommend her to anyone! I bought the dress in New York and had it shipped up to Boston. By the time the dress arrived, it was about 4 weeks before my wedding. I called around to various Boston seamstresses who informed me that I was an "emergency" case given the timing of my wedding. I thought that was pretty high drama (and I am not high drama). I called Violette who was able to schedule me for the next day with no drama whatsoever. And I am so, so glad that I went to her. She has done a fantastic job with my dress -- I wanted it less poofy and the dress now looks perfect! And Violette is lovely person who is a delight to work with. Violette's prices are also very, very reasonable. I did not shop around based on price but I was perfectly happy with the price that Violette quoted me (particularly, given the the four fitting that I eventually had -- it was the dress, not Violette!). I am going to move to North Carolina in a couple months, but if I was staying in Cambridge, I would take all of my alternations to her. read more

Very pleased with my wedding dress alterations! Violette was easy to work with and understanding, and she came through for me the week of my wedding when my dress had to be taken in. I would definitely recommend! read more

Alterations By Violette - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Arlington, Massachusetts

Violette did a wonderful job with my Casablanca wedding gown. She had to take it in at the bust, shorten the top of the empire waist (I am short so it looked mis proportioned), take the bottom up just a bit (did the pre-length) and make the bustle. It was alot of money for the alterations but I thought it was very fair considering the large amount of work (shortening the top was not easy). I am told I would have paid similar at other places. Plus Violette is sweet and I love small businesses! Pros: 1. You go to her home in the evenings = you don't have to take off work 2. Close to my house 3. She can do it "quickly" - that is you don't have to make an appointment 10000 months in advance like other places 4. She is really sweet 5. Bustle withstood my nutty dance moves (I have heard horror stories of the bustle breaking....no such thing here!!) read more

My wife and I purchased our wedding gowns from a retailer in RI who does not provide alterations. She did have a list of several tailors that her other clients had used and recommended. Violette was on that list, she was close to my house so I thought lets do this. First off she works out of her home so she sees clients in the evenings. I was always able to get a convenient time with her and she got our dresses done very quickly. Ultimately I ended up having 4 fittings (I'm short, and the dress had a long train) to get the length just right. She did a beautiful bustle for me and was able to keep the detail I would have lost in the long train. She was very easy to work with and always very friendly. My dress also had a corset in the back with she taught my mom how to do up on the big day. She's not inexpensive but I don't think she's really over priced either. Bottom line is that even if you spend 50 or 100 more going to her- its worth it because it will be done right and and on time. When it comes to wedding dresses that is super important. I had no stress working with her! read more

She was *extremely* patient with me, she did a beautiful job. I have an very complicated wedding dress- silk sheath with a complete separate outer lace sheath that is embroidered, beaded, tiny crystals etc. I was afraid of the hemming but she did a beautiful job. When I went to pick up my dress for the last time, she invited me for Turkish coffee (YUM) and little cookies in her parlor since I was picking it up early in the morning. She told me stories of her life, surrounded by other girls' dresses hanging here and there in various stages of alteration, and I could feel her genuine warmth and passion for what she did in the way she spoke of her life and work. I really can't say enough, I gave her a big hug. Also price was VERY reasonable- 4 fittings later, dress fits like a glove and it only cost me 250 dollars. Which by the way was the same as her stated estimate. Love! read more

I found Violette on google. I contacted her through her website with a prompt response to set up a consultation. I took my dress to her and explained what I needed. The bodice needed to be taken in and a bustle added. The first fitting went well- bustle was a little crooked and the bodice was a snug- gave me a little back fat. She said she would fix it right away. Two weeks later I was back and everything fit perfect. Total was reasonable, compared to what I've heard is spent on bridal alterations. I spent $350 on a 14 strand bustle and 2 alterations to bodice on a organza rouched gown. She even said she would alter again if anything changed. I would highly recommend Violette. She was so sweet and kind and her work was very skilled. read more

There are no words for the service you will receive from Violette. Violette welcomed my mother and I into her home after she was recommended by the bridal shop I bought my gown from (Camillas in Arlington). My wedding dress was a bit tricky to alter as it had mesh across the chest and lace trim on the bottom. Violette shortened and took the dress in with no problems. I highly recommend Violette for lace gowns! Also, We figured out it was Violette who altered my sisters gown 5 years prior so we knew it was a match made in heaven. Such a small world! We were so happy to reconnect with Violette. read more

Alterations By Violette - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Arlington, Massachusetts

As other reviewers have stated, Violette is so sweet and nice. When looking for someone to do alterations, I was encouraged reading the other reviews. My dress is beaded, and was slightly big, so I wanted someone talented and experienced for the job to bring it in and not ruin the detailing. Unfortunately, I don't feel that is what I got. I'll start with the positives. She added a bustle, which I thought looked good, she lifted the dress so it doesn't hang on me anymore, she tightened the loops on the back so that my buttons wouldn't pop open, and she fixed the sleeves to be more flattering (though the beaded detailing ended up being a bit clumped together). I will say, all this was done fairly well, and would have received 4/5 stars. Now for the negative. My dress is a sheath dress with a beaded tulle overlay, so in my opinion a tricky dress to work on. Violette started by taking in the top, which it needed, but she didn't do much to bring in the waist or the hips of the dress. When I pointed out I would like it to be a little more fitted so that it would go in at the waist, she brushed me off and said it was fine. I should have pushed more, but I figured she knew more than I did. She also brought up the overlay to shorten the dress, which she insisted on doing even though I told her I thought it was a good length. However, again, since she's the expert, I went with her suggestion. Unfortunately, the result was that a beading pattern that extended from the top to the bottom of the skirt ended up being misaligned, which I feel is a detail that shouldn't be missed by an experienced alterations specialist. Also, much of the stitching that was done over the beading was haphazard and clearly visible when you inspect closely (which I realize no one will do at my wedding, but it still bothers me). It looked like something I would do in a hasty attempt to stitch something together quickly. In addition, there was a beaded trim all along the top of the dress around the back, and for some reason, pieces of it were removed and never added back. To give her the benefit of the doubt, she may have meant to add them back and forgotten (though it's unclear why they were removed in the first place), but I was too frustrated to go back to her and have her fix it. In the end, upon receiving my dress, I was four weeks away from my wedding and had a dress that wasn't the most flattering fit and overall looked worse than when I brought it in. Fortunately, I found another tailor who could make some fixes on short notice, and they, without my prompting, thought the dress was too short and that it needed to be taken in more around the waist and hips (probably a good 3+ inches). They also, among other things, re-aligned the beading pattern on the skirt and fixed the beaded trim around the top. The dress now fits me beautifully, and is much more flattering than when I got it back from Violette. My advice would be if you want to bring a wedding dress here, pay attention to the details, because I don't think she does that very well. Go over the dress with a fine tooth comb before leaving her place to make sure there isn't anything there you will later find you're dissatisfied with (something I wish I had done). And she may do well on a dress without a lot of beading or detailing; as I mentioned before, she did a decent job on basic alterations to the dress. I just think will all of the beading, my dress is a particularly difficult one to alter. read more

My experience with Violette was fantastic. Finding the right seamstress for your wedding dress can be a bit stressful but from the first time I met Violette, I was put at ease and had 100% confidence that my dress would be in great hands. I dropped it off to her in March and that gave her 5 months to make numerous alterations. We were in contact the entire time, doing fittings at my convenience and making any changes I wanted. My dress was a bit intricate so a lot was needed. Violette was a pleasure to work with and I would absolutely recommend her for your wedding or tailoring needs. read more

Violette is wonderful. She has convenient hours, and reasonable prices. But she is experienced and will do what needs to be done to make you happy. My partner and I brought our wedding gowns to her and she did an amazing job on the alterations. She didn't skip a beat, or make us feel uncomfortable. She took extra time to make requested changes and gets them done with time to spare. I would go nowhere else ladies. She is #1! read more

I recently had a bridesmaid's dress altered by Violette. She is very nice and was very kind to me; however, i was very dissatisfied with her services. I came to see her about a month before I needed the dress for the wedding and I have larger breasts so i needed the dressed to be altered to hide my strapless bra but not be too tight. She said she would do it with plenty of time to spare. I came in when she said the dress was ready (about 2 weeks before the wedding) and it was WAY too tight on the breasts so she said she would alter it again. I waited another week and went in then tried on the dress and it was still too tight. At that point I gave up because there wasn't enough time to alter it before the wedding. it was so tight I could barely breathe. I would not recommend her services. Thanks. read more

I am so thrilled to have found Violette for my wedding dress(es) alterations! She is incredibly kind, patient and was able to turn around two wedding dresses (a ball gown and sheath gown) in less than a month's time when other seamstresses wouldn't even give me an appointment. Her tailoring skills are amazing, and the dresses fit me perfectly on my wedding day. She went above and beyond for us - when the zipper of my ball gown broke during our final fitting, she replaced the zipper on the spot (at no additional cost), and graciously said "thank goodness this didn't happen on your wedding day!". Most of all, she is kind and wonderful to work with, and treated my mother and I like old friends. We will certainly be back in the future!! read more

First off...I just want to say that I never write Yelp reviews...but I was lucky enough to find Violette through Yelp, so I felt I just had to let everyone know what a wonderful experience it was to work with her...I would HIGHLY recommend giving her a call if you need something altered :) I came to her with the not-so-simple task of shortening a gown with beading and lace all around the bottom...oh yes, and also, a tight budget. Violette put me at ease right away with her confidence and sweetness. She not only wanted to shorten the gown, but take it in for me...something a previous seamstress I had consulted had told me would be much too complicated to do. When I told her about my budget, Violette was more than willing to help me out...she said that she loves to see happy brides, so she would do it for me. Working with her was great, the fittings are at her home in Arlington, she's very accommodating and very confident in her work...the turn-around time on my dress was amazing and she went far above and beyond what I paid her to do. The dress and bustle turned out beautifully, and working with her was one of the best experiences I've had! Thank you, Violette, from one happy bride! read more

I highly recommend Violette. Very professional and superb work. She is really a skilled seamstress. If 6 stars were a thing, I'd give her 7.

Violette was so warm and patient. She did several fittings in a short timeframe. My dress has an unconventional high-low length, and I'm 4'11", so she made sure the new length was adjusted proportionately. I felt beautiful in my dress. She also replaced straps, added the sash, and had a gorgeous veil that perfectly matched the shade of ivory. Even with such an unconventional dress, especially for a winter wedding in Brooklyn, I felt like it was the perfect dress for me, and she made it fit like it was. read more

Alterations By Violette - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Arlington, Massachusetts

I cannot recommend Violette enough. She did an amazing job on my wedding dress. She was sooooo patient with me as I was indecisive over so many things. I wanted to add straps to my dress, which turned out to be harder than I thought since my dress was lace and I wasn't hemming it at all. She went out of her way to make me TWO separate pairs of straps, and they turned out great. She was also such a pleasure to work with. She is such a sweet lady and making appointments is super easy. She works out of her house so she could always do evening appointments, which is a huge help if you work full time. Also, it was a lump sum for everything she did, which was fantastic. Didn't have to worry about getting unnecessarily charged for minor things. And incredibly reasonably priced. Violette is fantastic, and I would recommend her to anyone in the area! read more

This is a tough one to rate. I called Violette because of the great Yelp reviews, so I feel obligated to rate myself. I brought an expensive evening dress to be altered (hem and shorten straps). I also knew that I would need my wedding dress altered later in the month and figured the evening dress would be a good way to try her out before giving her such an important dress. What makes me feel bad about the 2 star rating: Violette is incredibly sweet. She made me a same day appointment and was very warm when I arrived at the house and descended into the basement where she does her consults (don't expect a pretty alterations shop). She really undercharged me for the work too. Would I want to have tea with her? Yes. Give her another dress of mine to alter? Probably not. Why this is a 2 star rating: the alterations work was very disappointing. When I went back to pick up the dress the hem was extremely uneven (hung about 4 inches in the front compared to the back). She also had not done the straps (they were still pinned). I pointed both of these things out (she didn't say anything about it first) and took the dress off. She took the dress and tried to fix the hem and did do the straps while I waited. The changes made it better (no longer a 4 inch length difference front to back, but still a noticeable one) so I paid and took the dress because I was not convinced that leaving it with her longer would result in a better outcome. I ended up having to bring the dress elsewhere for alterations to even out the hem. She undercharged.... but I ended up overpaying since I had to pay a second time for another place to make the hem even all the way around. Giving her the benefit of the doubt (she was SO NICE): her bread and butter is definitely wedding dresses (there were a lot of them hanging in her basement). My evening dress was probably not a priority at the start of wedding season. She also claimed the fabric of my dress was difficult to work (it was a silk chiffon). This may be true for the machine(s) she uses, but the second place I brought it to was not phased by the fabric and made it look like a professional hem. Use caution here. She has night appointments and is a good communicator but the alterations work apparently is hit or miss. Wedding dresses might be her thing, but I decided not to bring mine here (and I am so glad that I did this 'alterations trial' first). read more

Violette altered my bridesmaid dress with one week left before the wedding - much-needed maternity alterations that required taking in the dress near the zipper including the tricky leavers lace on the back. She did a perfect job and gave me a special rate since I was hoping to stay within budget. Amazing work and a pleasure to work with. Could not recommend more highly. read more

I just got my dress back last night from Violette. She did an amazing job! It only took my initial consultation for her to figure out exactly what needed to be altered and how much she needed to take it in. When I came for my next fitting (last night- a month and one week after my initial fitting) it fit perfectly and she had even added breast cups to the dress for me (which I desperately need) without me having to ask. It was such a great job that I didn't even need to schedule another appointment. The bustle- everything she did and did an amazing job at! I got to take home my dress last night and am all ready to go for my wedding. I would recommend Violette in a heartbeat. She is professional and very, very sweet. Also, her prices were very, very affordable. read more

I took a skirt to Violette to hem and the experience was a complete disaster. I had bought the skirt at a small boutique several years ago and I loved the print and crepe-like fabric and bias cut but the length was too long to be fashionable. The skirt was also reversible with two fabrics I loved so it would mean hemming each of the reversible sides. Not a big job for anyone with a sewing machine right? So when I dropped the skirt off I said I wanted it hemmed and explained that the skirt was reversible (hard not to notice that but I made sure to point it out because it makes a difference how the hemming is done) and we determined the length and cost and when I could come back for it. Boy, was I shocked when I returned! Instead of hemming the skirt she had cut off the top elastic waistband and then had turned the fabric over so that the wrong side was showing on one of the reversible sides. AND the edge was raw! Huh?! The skirt was trashed. Truly. And she didn't even apologize. I pointed out that this was not going to work and had to explain why and she said she would try to fix it. Frankly I didn't see how this was going to be fixable but I agreed. When I came back it was even worse. She was away on vacation but her daughter showed it to me. Now the top waistband had the wrong fabric on each side! Also, the skirt had fit fine before at the waist and hips but because she had cut off the waist and it was a-line now it was too wide and it looked like crap. I told her to have her mom call me when she returned but she never did. I don't know how someone who calls herself a tailor could make such a mistake. And again, no apology or offer to try to make it right. Terrible experience. Beware. read more

Violette is a complete professional, and did a wonderful job altering my wedding dress. She even created the most perfect bustle for my dress. In addition to being an excellent seamstress, Violette welcomes you into her home for fittings. In short-- prices are very reasonable, and expertise is unmatched. read more

Violette works with Camilla's Bridal, where I bought my dress. I didn't have a lot of alterations to do for my wedding dress (shorten straps and simple bustle). Violette still took care to make sure they were done right, and in this end I was so comfortable on my wedding day. It was nice that she offered for me to pick up my dress at her house, since I wasn't able to make it during the regular hours that she comes to Camilla's. Thank you! read more

Violette was an absolute pleasure to work with! After a very high quote from another shop, I found Violette who not only gave us a fantastic price but went above and beyond through multiple fittings to make sure I felt fantastic in the dress. Violette is incredibly warm and hard working. I think she offered to make coffee at each appointment. Wedding prep and especially the dress can be stressful and Violette made it one of the most memorable experiences. read more

Violette & her family members are ill today, so she cancelled my appointment, 5 minutes before it was scheduled to start, via voice mail. Her message said, "You can go to any dry cleaner" to get my wedding dress pressed. Guess what? I called three and none of them can do it. I spent $200 with her on the most minor alterations, and she promised me she would give the dress one more pressing before my big day - which happens to be tomorrow. While she did a fine job on the alterations, and she was very pleasant to work with, I think her behavior today is unconscionable. She should have recommended a specific dry cleaner, or offered me some other solution. I could never recommend a person or business that has so little regard for paying customers. read more

I cannot say enough good things about Violette. I had recently moved to Boston and needed to get my wedding dress altered. I looked on Yelp and saw all of the positive reviews for Violette and figured she was my best shot...and was she ever. She was incredibly professional, her costs were very reasonable and the work she did on my dress was flawless. I brought her a dress and basically asked her to reconstruct it. Now, a week before my wedding, the dress is perfect and you would never know anything was altered. I can't think of a single business I have used that I would recommend more than Violette...and for something as big as a wedding dress, you can imagine how particular I was and I was not let down. read more

Definitely not worth $100 for the (very simple) bustle that was added to my wedding dress. The bustle had very flimsy straps with faint handwritten numbers on them, and after the dress was bustled it was lopsided and still dragged on the ground on one side. if you're looking for personalized service and someone who will take the time to do it right, I'm sorry to say that you should give this place a skip...When I came back for a fitting, she spent all of five minutes with me, and even though I pointed out the bustle still dragged on the ground on one side she simply said no one would notice. I would up redoing it at home to make the dress hang evenly. Waste of time and money...I wish I'd gone somewhere that was willing to take the time to make adjustments while the dress was being fitted. read more

I am very pleased with the wrote Violette did on my wedding dress. I bought a used pure silk wedding gown that had a long train, and was really tight around my ribs. I am having a beach wedding, and I didnt want a train. She took off the train, made the extra fabric into a shawl, and took out the rib portion to fit just perfectly! She was professional, quick, and as far as I can tell reasonably priced. She even allowed me to go back to her a few weeks before the wedding to a check up fit and a steaming! I can highly recommend her and will to anyone I know... THANK YOU Violette. read more

Violette is lovely to work with. She works quickly and is flexible and available with timing of appointments. I needed some last minute adjustments and she was able to do them in just a few days. read more

She saved us in a pinch. We had adjustments to make to my wife's wedding dress and a week to do it. She met with us on her day off and had the dress ready the next day. Fantastic work and a very nice lady. Highly recommended read more

Violette is an absolute sweetheart and incredibly talented. My wedding dress came out beautiful and fits like a glove! Somehow she just knows your measurements without ever actually measuring. She's brilliant. My dress was purchased off a used dress website, brought it to her based off reviews on Yelp. She took up the hem, removed a belt attached on tulle, expanded the bust, adjusted the buttons and zipper, and added a bustle. So much work done within two weeks. She's a magician. read more
