Alice is just a lovely human being. She has a calm and very pleasant demeanor, and made the experience of dress fitting feel effortless. She was recommended by the Bridal Shop that I purchased my dress, and I was lucky enough to secure appointments in store. For my first fitting, I especially appreciated that she explained each alteration that needed to be done and why, along with additional info/details regarding the fabric itself, and how it behaves. She also provided recommendations for certain things, that made it clear she's very experienced in this area. The bodice on my dress had to be taken in a little bit, and Alice made a point of asking if I wanted regular bra cups or push-up bra cups sewn in. I would normally have gone with the regular cups, but she mentioned that the push bra cups help make the bust look fuller on the outside for photos, whereas the regular cups would make it look flat. It's the details like this that distinguish a good job and a great job. I absolutely recommend hiring Alice, my dress looked amazing and she is wonderful! read more

I had a fantastic experience having my wedding gown and reception dress altered by Alice. She has a calm presence and I was confident in trusting her suggestions. She has a great eye and is a skilled seamstress. I live a good distance away from Alice's place of business but I would say it was worth every minute and every penny for her services. I will be recommending her to anyone who asks me about getting alterations. read more

Alice was absolutely wonderful. I lost a little bit of weight after buying my dress off the rack and was really nervous that it wouldn't fit, especially because I had a very lace heavy/mesh top of my dress. She was able to make it fit like a glove- from the top right down to the bustle on the train. My dress looked and felt like a dream. She is 100% worth the drive to get such high quality work. She also listened to everything I had to say and was able to create the perfect bustle and trimmed the length of my dress so that I could wear my wedding converse. Her studio is also in her home, which is a really relaxing a calm environment. She was so patient with me while I walked around and made sure everything felt just right. I highly recommend her! read more

Alice was the absolute best. Not only did she do two bridal fittings with me to make sure it was the best possible fit, but she also was extremely detail oriented. She even pinned a small piece of lace that was sticking up that neither my mom or I had noticed it, to make sure my dress was absolutely perfect. Additionally, she was so professional, extremely kind, was up to date on the styles and trends, offered a ton of tips to keep my dress safe, and was determined to make sure I loved my dress regardless of the time it took. Lastly, her pricing was competitive and she made sure to explain where each part of the total cost came from so I could see the break down. I truly cannot recommend her enough. I drove an hour and a half to get my dress altered by her and I would do it again in a heartbeat. read more

Alice was incredible to work with! She did an amazing job with my dress alterations (as well as my MIL's dress too). The dress fit perfectly and she even added pockets for me for a very reasonable price. My mom and sister (who have helped at their fair share of weddings) said it was the best bustle they've ever seen. She also will be cleaning my dress for me. She's based in Palmdale but I was able to schedule appointments with her in Moorpark and Agoura. Highly recommend! read more

I am so glad I trusted Alice with my wedding dress alterations. She has such a great eye for detail and was able to offer professional recommendations on how to make my vision come to life. I am amazed at how she was able to strategically and delicately move up all the flowers at the bottom on my dress to hem it properly, without loosing those details. She took in my dress so that it fit like a glove, moved and added a few flowers to the front to make my dress more modest, and gave my dress 5 perfect bustles. After the alterations were completed, she offered to take a video for my mom/bridesmaids on how to get into the dress, buttoning tips, and how to bustle it. This video was absolutely essential for my girls on the big day and made everything go that much smoother. read more

Alice is amazing! I am a bridesmaid and needed my dress altered. Making an appointment with her was easy. I arrived with other bridesmaids and her place was organized and clean. She made me feel comfortable and didn't poke me with the needle while she was doing her measurements. She hand sanitizer everywhere and she wore a mask. The second visit was super easy. I tried on the dress and it was PERFECT! I didn't see any issues with the size or dress after she altered it. There are other places to get your dress altered but trust me ALICE is your girl. She has great communication, great dress making experience and she's super cute! I will say she is expensive but worth every dollar! She is worth it to get the perfect dress. Thank you Alice! Great dress alteration experience! I would recommend her to everyone I know! read more

Alice did an amazing job making alterations to my wedding dress. I had a separate overskirt/train from a different maker than my wedding dress, and Alice made the attachments perfectly positioned, and invisible when the overskirt was removed! I was so happy with everything she did, and her solution to an awkward problem at the waistband where the overskirt came together was ingenious. I plan to return to her to get my bridesmaid's dress altered for my best friend's wedding in May. read more

Alice took amazing care of my dress! I was hesitant to drive 70 miles but the reviews speak for themselves!! I was at peace the entire time my dress was with Alice- I knew her years of experience only made it easier for me to relax while my dress was being altered. After I got my dress, I have to say I am so happy I went to Alice!! She is truly the best!!!! read more

I needed to get my wedding dress altered for my wedding coming up on June 26th. I stumbled upon Bridal Heirloom after going through yelp looking for an alteration place that would service me. I had originally found 3 cleaners/alterations places in the Valley and made appointments. All 3 were unfriendly and I felt like a number and not a person. It also felt like a factory environment which is NOT what I wanted for my wedding dress alterations. When I found Bridal Heirloom after going back on yelp in desperation to find another option, I was optimistic as Alice was very quick to respond and very friendly via email. When I met her to get a free consultation, I was so impressed with her professionalism as well as personal touches she adds to the consultation. There was beautiful wedding music playing in the background that made me feel so excited for my big day. She also made me feel very comfortable and safe during our meeting and I was so happy I found her. After our consultation, she sat me down and gave me a detailed explanation of what alterations she would be making and the exact charges. This was also helpful, as there were no financial surprises I would be expecting. Alice's pricing was more than fair and I felt extremely comfortable to have her alter my designer dress. (Which by the way has beading, lace, and embellishments throughout the ENTIRE dress). Alice also steams the dress and puts it in a garment bag which is so helpful for me as my wedding is in Puerto Rico. On my second fitting, I brought my detachable skirt for her to add reinforced buttons. She again gave me great pricing and will steam the skirt as well. I cannot recommend Bridal Heirloom/Alice enough. Alice is everything I was hoping for in a professional to help me with this very important dress and day. I even asked her if she does other clothing alterations as I want to use her again in the future for other needs! Photos to come soon after my big day!!! read more

I went to Alice for an alteration on my bridesmaid dress. She had great communication, responded right away, and fixed my dress for me very quickly. I am not educated about alteration pricing so I'm not going to say if I felt it was too high or an appropriate amount or whatever. But she was able to take card and was able to take a down payment so I didn't have to pay everything up front. On the day of the wedding one of my dress straps did break but I'm not taking a star off because I'm not even sure if she did touch the straps, straps were not listed on my plan. (But if you did touch the straps Alice, uhh, one did break :) lol) luckily women are handy people and I was able to get someone to fix it for me. In any case if I need an alteration in the future she is someone I would go to again. Thanks Alice! read more

Alice is a life saver! She took the time to make my dress perfect. She did the alterations that I needed and more! Alice is dedicated to making her clients happy and she won't stop until your dress is exactly how you want it. I also threw her a curveball by adding a white jumpsuit to be tailored and she took on the project without hesitation. My jumpsuit was too small and I didn't know it was possible to make it fit, she made it work and it fits like a glove! Stop reading reviews, just go see her. She is a sweetheart and will make you feel like a princess. read more

Alice is an absolute God send! My fiancé and are having to plan a very rushed wedding since we recently put his mother on hospice and want her to be there. I called so many different alteration companies and businesses, but everyone turned me away saying they couldn't do my wedding dress alterations in time. When I called Alice I had just finished crying from the stress and she just fixed everything. She got me in, did my dress alterations, and made me a customized veil to match my dress. She works out of her home and it is the most professional and comfortable setting ever. She goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and happy in your dress, and works hard to give you those special bride moments. If I could give her more stars I would, she's the sweetest thing ever and I would totally get married all over again just so I can work with her more. I 1000% recommend her! It's worth the drive and her prices are perfect. You won't regret it! Thank you so much Alice! read more

My experience with Alice has been amazing. Her attention to detail and customer service is superb. I had no idea what kind of dress i wanted how to explain my dream dress and she was able to interpret everything into a beautiful dress. During the pandemic i was fearful of trying on floor samples and wanted avoid interaction between strangers as much as possible. Alice came like a heaven sent and even accommodated our first meeting via zoom. She is by far the best experience ive had in this whole wedding planning process. I knew my dress was in good hands from the first day we met and i would recommend her to anyone who will listen. read more
