I had my wedding dress altered here by the owner, Susana. She was absolutely WONDERFUL. She has…read morethis charm about her like she is your own mother or crazy aunt and her dog (a Pekinese) is the cutest little thing. My gown was a sample dress from a designer, therefore I bought it 4 sizes bigger than I was. It was a mermaid shape and had to be tailored perfectly to fit correctly and it had 3 layers of material to it as well as a few repairs to the dress itself due to it being a sample. I also had to have the dress hemmed, and had her create a bustle on my dress. In total, I paid $500 - alterations, hem, bustle, cleaning & Steaming, as well as getting a bustier bra for my dress through her. REALLY GOOD DEAL. I was worried about having just anyone alter the gown, because it was a designer gown; however, going to see Susana and seeing the other dresses that she had created on her own, I was very confident in her as a seamstress. Plus the fact that she was super cute. She will take your dress in as early as 6 months ahead of time where she will take an initial estimate of all the work that needs to be done, but will not do any actual cutting until a month before the wedding. This is actually to save her work, because brides tend to fluctuate in weight / size dramatically within the last month of their wedding. She will have your dress finished, steamed, and cleaned 2 weeks before the big day - if you do have any extra alterations even then, she can do it in a week! Also - the nice thing she did was that she handstitched my hemline, that way if I wanted to sell my dress and that person was taller, they could release the hem at least! PERFECT! She is absolutely wonderful and the dress fit like a glove!

My daughter picked up her formal dress all thanks to Ultimate Fashions in Woodbridge mall. Alison…read morelooked for months for a dress - never found anything. She found a dress in Trendz in freehold but not in her size. They refused to order the dress in her size. So we went to trendz in Woodbridge mall. They did not have the dress said they could not order it and it would be impossible to get. Well, if you know me, that answer does not work! So we go to ultimate fashions. Alison described the dress and Laura and Bianca from the store looked through every single one of their books and then online to find the dress. After about two hours of searching our description, they found it!! They got it ordered and it came in today! Thank you for your diligence and drive to find this dress with no designer information or tag to give a clue as to where to start. She finally found a dress she loves!

Gina and her husband are the best! After being sold a non-existent dress by a local bridal store (I…read moredid review them here), I needed a trustworthy seamstress to bring my vision to life. From the moment you walk into Zatsarina, you're met with kindness and professionalism. The inside is sleek and showcases all of Gina's talents. For my personal tailoring, in terms of a unique situation, I needed sleeves from a jacket placed on a spaghetti strap dress. Then, I needed a bustle added to my dress, tulle taken out of the bottom layers, and a slit added. The fabric of my jacket sleeves were very delicate (covered in beads); and I needed someone who I could fully trust. She delivered. She even hand placed matching beads in spots that were naturally not as crowded, to match the rest of the jacket. Additionally, she hemmed the sleeves of the jacket, so they were perfect. For my bustle, I wanted something that did not create a large bump around my butt, and the way she made the bustle was perfect and almost invisible. (My train was LONG, when bustled, you could not tell there were 14 buttons to make this possible.) It was so easy to connect everything- she showed my MOH a video how to do so too and even encouraged her to record it, which was super helpful dua of. my sister (MOH) was able to do it within a few minutes. Gina's work is perfection. She met with me multiple times to make sure everything was perfect and even provided directions on how to steam the day off. Also, Gina makes custom wedding dresses! Pros: attention to detail & skill Overall, my dress fit perfectly & everything held up. I would highly recommend zatsarina fashion, specifically gina for your most important tailorings. With her attention to detail and skill, you cannot go wrong!

Gina is amazing and I give her 5 stars alone. Like most brides who got married in the craziness of…read moreCOVID, I had a challenging request having alterations done in a less than 2 month window of time due to having to move our wedding date. Most places wouldn't have been able to do that, but Zatsarina's really came through. My first fitting was on August 24th with a second scheduled for September 18th and finally a pickup for October 4th. Gina was so efficient and diligent explaining what needed to be done (take in the shoulder straps, hem, bustle, etc). My first visit was thorough and she explained everything perfectly. All of the alterations would come to $800 (as I had bought off the rack at another boutique). When I came in for my fitting everything was looking great and only a few minor tweaks needed to be made. All in all, a great experience. There was a bit of a hiccup at the end when it wasn't fully ready for my pickup and still needed to be steamed. They made it work and were able to finish it while I waited. I didn't entirely like dealing with her husband but Gina was EXCEPTIONAL. She suggested a video on how to bustle which was super helpful for later. As I mentioned, I had a difficult request with such a quick turnaround time, but I'm so grateful for how everything turned out and how Gina was willing to help and deliver such high quality service.

I don't write reviews. I actually don't think I have ever written a bad review. But my experience…read morehere today was awful, so here I am. I came into this establishment with a bridal gown that is unfortunately too small because of baby weight that I am very much trying to lose. I was told prior to this (by three other people) that there were things that could be done to salvage the dress (corset back, letting it out a little, etc.) so when I tried on the dress and was immediately shot down by this woman, I was heartbroken. Instead of giving me constructive advice, she told me that the only thing I could do to make this gown fit is to diet and then had the audacity to ask me if the dress even fit me before I got pregnant? Mind you, I'm only about 10 pounds heavier than I was when I bought the dress. Luckily I found another seamstress/decent human, who was very willing & eager to help me. The dress CAN be salvaged. This woman is just rude and incapable of doing detailed work.

Two months later, I returned to have two more pairs tailored, and this time he charged $30 per pair. I mentioned that two months ago the price was $20, not $30.

I love this place but a few pointers for new people…read more 1) If you cannot deal with old world/old school attitude this might not be the place for you. They are blunt. I have been in there when people are told what they do not want to hear and complain the customer service is bad. They are just really blunt. 2) This kind of bleeds into the first point but the unfortunate reality is just because you spent a lot of money on a dress/clothing it does not make it quality. We want to think that as a consumer but at the end of the day a lot of bridesmaid dresses/ dresses from department stores for weddings are made super cheap and they let you know it because the quality of the garment is what gives them space to work. 3) It looks kind of messy in there and you NEED TO KEEP YOUR TICKET. A lot of us are used to modern computers but they are not functioning like that, this is a local, elder owned business. This is legitimately like going to a business in 1965, it has charm but you need to sort of feed into that and do it their way. 4) Give them time. The modern world is rush rush rush, but like I said this place is old school. I have personally bought multiple dresses here, some cheap, some very expensive. I never had a problem with the fit or service. This is not to say they are perfect but I think if you want a no frills alteration process I love them. Plus, Yvonne is hilarious if that's your humor.
