I can't remember her name but those ladies are the sweetest! They hemmed my dress and gave me three bustles at first i only had one but ended up needing two more and the owner fixed it on the spot with no extra cost. Definitely recommend this place and it's not expensive at all. You also try on your dress before you pay and take it home. I say you get what you paid for! read more

BLACK BRIDES BEWARE! Had a horrible experience. Marilyn was so frustrated and short tempered because I was asking questions. She asked how many bustles I would need (as if I was the tailor), then told me I had an attitude because I didn't know. Then she failed to produce a contract once requested (you know, business 101). She refused to alter my dress (which is fine because I wouldn't want to give a racist my money anyway) because of those two things. Also, the location is sketchy. Glitter was all on the floor, subsequently getting on my dress. Marilyn is bad for her daughter's business. I have BBB investigating this further. read more

So over priced for a placement of two eye and hooks and barley an hem. I had my last fitting and THE DRESS WAS THE SAME FIT! My appointment pick up time got moved 3 times so I know it was rushed thru! It seemed like they didn't have time at all to do my alternations and I rather just get turned away! So now I am rushing around trying to find some else to fix their job and my wedding is a week away! The French bustle is nice done tho so I will give them that and didn't mind the price of that read more

Hands down, best place to get all of your alteration needs! Was a bridesmaid and needed to get my dress altered. I was honestly thinking that I wasn't going to feel beautiful in it - only because I just knew the dress wasn't flattering and Merilyn could easily tell from the look on my face that I didnt feel happy in it. She told me that even though I wasn't a fan of the dress, she still wanted to make me feel beautiful in it & spoiler alert: she did just that! I had my final fitting 2 days before I flew out for CA and it fit me so well! Pricing was very reasonable, especially since I only had 3 weeks before the wedding. Ladies did an amazing job and I couldn't be anymore happier. Thank you so much! read more

Suit looked great! It fit so well someone saidbIblooked kike a movie star at the wedding event.

I can't recommend Chic Bridal enough for your bridal alteration needs. I bought my dress from Studio I Do and picked up the dress in June '22 for my 9/30/22 wedding. The alterations place they recommended had no availability for the rest of the year so I picked Chic Bridal based off online reviews. They not only had availability, but were able to make monthly appointments to suit the needs of my dress. When I picked it up 2 weeks before my wedding it fit like a glove!! I'm so thankful to the women there that worked so diligently to get the dress ready in time. Thank you! read more

The team at Chic Bridal is amazing! I brought in 3 outfits for my daughter's multi-cultural wedding events and they tailored them to perfection! They were able to work magic on a dress that had been so poorly constructed that I thought I would need to replace it. And the fit they created for my dress for the wedding itself was incredible! They provide great workmanship and value. Appointments are easy to make and the work is completed on time. They are up front about the cost and any potential issues with fabric or construction.They truly are a 5 Star company! read more

I found this alterations boutique through a google search and am so happy I moved forward with them for my wedding dress and rehearsal dress alterations! Extremely affordable. I was surprised at how little it costed especially with how detailed my dress is. The alterations were completed within about 1 month for both dresses. So super quick too! The alterations were perfect for both dresses. So pleased with the service. 100% recommend to anyone who needs bridal or formal alterations! If I could give more than 5 stars I would. read more

I bought my wedding dress online in the middle of the pandemic and it was pretty, but did not fit my body well. I took it to the ladies at Chic Bridal & Formal Alterations last summer hoping they could make it fit a little better. They went above and beyond to make my dress look amazing on me! They brought the sleeves up, added boning to the center to give it more structure, added a bustle, and most impressively, added lace to the bottom of the dress to give it a little extra length it needed, integrating it so seamlessly, you could not tell it wasn't always there. They are very skilled at their craft and I would not hesitate to take something for alternations to them again in the future. read more
