I brought in my wedding dress, a beautiful yet difficult dress to re-construct and with her guidance, the dress turned out better than I could ever imagine. Her eye for detail, her expertise with fabric, understanding of women's bodies and the way the dress is supposed to look, not what "we" think it should look like... is outstanding!!!!! Its hard to have blind faith in someone, especially when it is such a special occasion, but I would never consider anyone else for the task. Sylvia's manner of a fact attitude toward the assignment matched with her caring and warm personality made for the most wonderful and memorable experience. If you have a wedding dress and aim to be the epitome of perfection, working with Sylvia is your only choice. Get on the waitlist, make the time, work through your vision and you will be met with tears of joy the way I did.

I was looking for someone to help with my daughter dress, that needed a belt, and inquired If she would do such a small job. We set an appointment with her, and she spent an hour discussing options with us, at the end she suggested a very economical solution to our problem. I wanted her to accept a consultation fee, which she declined! Not often do you find such a kind hearted person. IF only I had know of her sooner, we would have used her to make a costom wedding gown, and mother of the bride dress. She is a true talent. I hope to use her services in the future. Thank you Noy!!

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 I don't think the person whos doing alterations there is still there so perhaps this review is quickly outdated, but I would say there's definitely not the kind of attention to detail I would have appreciated being at this price point and for this kind of thing where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 visited Novella bridal on a whim yesterday after having spent the day in the city. 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!

Sarah completely understood my needs and was consultative, friendly and professional throughout the service. I came in with somewhat vague requirements, and Sarah helped me to arrive at a vision that I thought was really beautiful and appropriate to the occasion. Given the simplicity of the job, Sarah was able to complete the tailoring within 2 weeks, which I really appreciated! When I came to pick up the dress, Sarah was interested in my input and invested in making sure I loved the dress -- which I did! The price was absolutely reasonable as well. I'd highly recommend Sarah for any wedding dress alterations!

On top of that, she also helped to alter it to fit me much better. She did all this extremely quickly and efficiently! During my two times in her studio in SF, her services seemed to be in high demand, with other brides having appointments before and after mine, even during the lull of the pandemic. She was friendly an professional, and I highly recommend her for the alterations she did on my Lace & Liberty gown.
