I dropped my WEDDING dress off to have a mini skirt made for my 10 year anniversary and a Christmas tree skirt made with the rest of the train fabric. I received my mini skirt and then when I asked about the tree skirt, I was advised that my wedding dress was "lost."Blamed it on an employee that quit and took it. Claimed to not know where the employee went, etc. Also kept assuring me that after tax season when she had to mail out the employee's W2 she would be in contact. It's June! So yeah, this review is for no follow up and a lack of Giving a shit. No offer to reimburse or replace my wedding dress but I got a hug and a tree skirt made of cheap satin. read more

I would give this place zero stars if I could. I brought my wedding dress here and was shocked by how poorly I was treated from the start. The level of rudeness made me uncomfortable enough that I didn't even want to return to pick up my dress. When I was notified that my dress was ready, I was told, "she wants it out of here," which was completely unprofessional. To make matters worse, the dress still had stains on it, and a button popped off as I was removing it. Instead of taking responsibility, she attempted to claim the button had been in her pocket, which was simply not true. This was an incredibly disappointing experience, especially given the importance of a wedding dress. The lack of care, accountability, and basic customer service is unacceptable. I would strongly recommend taking your business elsewhere. read more

My daugjter had a wedding to attend, very high end, and her dress arrived the day beside the event. Olga not only tailored the dress to perfection, but she had it done on the time she provided. My diabetes for so many compliments on the fit of the dress. Olga is amazing and provides the most high quality service. read more

I had a disappointing experience. I called ahead to ask for general pricing and was told estimates could not be given and that I needed to come in for a quote. When we arrived, Olga,the seamstress was not very warm or welcoming, though her assistant was kind and professional. The alterations discussed (hemming, bustle, and a 4" modesty panel) were quoted at nearly $600, which was higher than expected. When I asked if I could take time to think about it, I was told that if I didn't decide immediately, she couldn't do it. Olga then made a comment to a colleague in front of us and the store full of patrons that our visit had wasted her time. While I understand businesses are busy, customers should be able to consider a quote without pressure or shame. We later found another tailor nearby at a significantly lower price and with a more professional, pleasant experience. read more

Always professional and does an amazing job. She's done many pieces for me and they all fit perfectly every time.

I haven't had a lot of luck with seamstresses. They often try to talk me out of employing them by saying you could probably just buy another belt for less money, and on a previous occasion, Olga didn't guarantee the quality of her work, just made vague mention of the girls needing to be paid a few dollars. But this time in a new location she didn't remember who I was and didn't put up a fuss about the visible stitching, which I actually like and lends a wabi-sabi air to the alligator skin belt that was a birthday gift from my Dad, with a monogrammed silver buckle from Brooks Brothers. read more

I was recommended to come here from the boutique where I bought my dress from. I wouldn't recommend anyone to come here, especially a bride. After my first fitting, I was given an appointment for my second fitting on October 13th. When I got there, my dress had not been worked on. Noone knew what was going on nor did they take any accountability. I had already given a 50% deposit initially; so, I decided to make another appointment and take it as a one off. Well, when I returned on November 18th, the dress had still not been worked on. They gave me another appointment, promised me a discount and apologized. Guess what? Today December 2nd, the dress was still not worked on. I asked for a refund and left with my dress. The owner is rude and has no customer service skills, same with her male workers. Noone seems to know what they are doing. I don't know how they are still in business. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone, especially a bride. Save yourself the headache! My experience was so terrible that I am sharing this so that no one else goes through the same thing. read more

I am absolutely furious. I am so upset. I'm in a wedding and I don't know what to do now. My dress is ruined. I initially asked for the dress to be shortened and the sleeves to be fixed. Then the bride said she wanted a longer look, I called 24 hours later and made the change. My dress was supposed to be ready for 12/30. I was told to pick it up 1/6. I didn't complain. But when I got my dress and saw the pieces that she took off I was mortified. All I could think about was being the only bridesmaid without the right look. Her response "don't show the bride". This is very unprofessional and still I was asked to pay. I try to give small businesses a chance - David's bridal would've charged me $20 but I preferred to go somewhere local and support a small business. I am so upset. This is outrageous and a travesty. Save your time, anger and money. I'm so disappointed. I trusted that woman. read more

If Olga had 20 stars I would give her that! She was a God sent for my wedding! I got my dress custom made from someone out of state. long story short when I put it on I hated it and I sent it back multiple times to realize it couldn't be fixed! I was devastated because I was so upset I wasn't going to feel confident on my wedding day in my dress! My friend convinced me to find someone who can fix it A WEEK before my wedding in Aruba. I researched and found elegant lady dressmaker and at first I thought there was no way but my friend said to go in and ask! At the same time I brought in another dress I recently bought that I was changing into after the ceremony because originally I hated what my gown looked like! As soon as I put the dress on Olga was so confident in her speaking and that she would be able to fix it I started to feel hopeful! My dress was a lot of dress and olga transformed it in TWO DAYS! I was floored by her professionalism and her talent! I tried on my wedding gown and fell in love!!! She fixed the dress to fit my body while keeping everything that I wanted! She saved my wedding literally! There is no other way to explain it! I would recommend her 1000x over. I am new to the area and so glad grateful I found her. Many people can agree that your wedding dress is something you keep with you forever and without Olga fixing my dress I would have had a much different size experience! Thank you soooooo much Olga! read more

This was an excellent find! I had to have my dress altered for a wedding I was in. The dress was very long and had some flaws in the construction. She fixed the dress and made it the appropriate length. She had my dress for one week and it was prefect! I recommend her services. read more

I have so many positive things to say about Elegant Lady Dressmaker!! They are absolutely wonderful, from customer service to quality and every last detail. I bought my wedding gown in early 2019 for an October 2020 wedding. I just had to have it (Dress by Beloved by Casablanca Bridal bought from Lily Bridal in Orlando... if you're curious). By the time 2020 rolled around I had moved cities from Orlando to West Palm beach and we were having a global pandemic. I needed my dress altered though so I brought my wedding gown into Elegant Lady after reading another review that mentioned they do wonderful work with wedding gowns. So, in the midst of planning and replanning my wedding because of this pandemic I brought my dress into Elegant Lady and they made my bridal dreams come true. And a wedding dress is not something you trust just anyone with! But I trusted them, and I was completely blown away - so happy! It was a full lace gown with sleeves and a scalloped trim so even with just minor altering I was really nervous, but it was perfect, and they went above and beyond for me. I even had her change the bra pads for me which she did so seamlessly! Not to mention, she turned it around in great time! I am so grateful for this small, local business. My husband also got his suit tailored here! Since then, I have brought a pair of pants and a jacket I bought in Europe and each piece comes back better than before! read more

Like many women, I have several different items sitting around that I don't wear because of too big or too small fit, broken zippers, missing buttons, a rip in the fabric, etc... and then I found this place on yelp! Thanks to the other stellar reviews, I came by with my helpless items and was greeted with professionalism and skill. All of my repairs came back within the week! Highly recommend! read more

She saved me!!! The alterations she made to my dress gave my dress life! The dress turned out the exact way I wanted it to look. And it was done within 24 hours. I got so many compliments on how well the dress fitted. I couldn't be happier. read more

Elegant Lady Dressmaker - Perfect fit - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Worth Beach, Florida

Olga was very welcoming and quick to help me with my dress. I told her the timeframe I needed the dress in and she had no issue. I paid for my alterations upfront as well. I was assured that if the dress did not fit when I came back in that they could fix it before I left the next day. Unfortunately when I came in to pick up my dress, Olga was not there. I tried on the dress and the top was totally lopsided. One side was too big and one side fit perfectly. Also, the pleating of the dress had been sewn incorrectly and would not lay flat. The woman working told me I could use double sided tape and they would not have time to fix the dress before I left for my trip. I paid a lot of money for these alterations and left far less than happy about my service. read more

Wish there was a 10 star option Olga took good care of me in literal pinch **********

She did my wedding dress and flower girl dress super fast, we were crunched on time and she was great!!!! read more

Seriously! Best Seamstress in town!!! I absolutely LOVE Olga! Sweetest hispanic lady, and is VERY knowledgeable. She definitely reminds me of my own mother. I took a bridesmaid dress to her a few months ago and i knew i was running out of time to get it done. I was thinking it would take Months to get hemmed up and taken in. But she had it ready for me in just a few short weeks. And the pricing was great!! Affordable and good work! I couldnt even tell where it was altered. Next, I even took my wedding dress to her! Yes! I trusted her that much. I knew the work she could do and I knew she wouldnt mess up my dress on my big day. To top it off, she had my wedding dress ready in like a week. Amazing! I dunno how she does it! DEFINITELY RECOMMEND HER!!! read more

I had my wedding dress altered there and it was perfect! My dress was about a foot too long, needed to be taken in in the waist and also the bust... Everything came out amazing!!! I highly recommend them! read more

I had my wedding dress altered here. It had to be taken in in the bust, and hemmed. It has a scalloped lace hem. Olga and her team finished the work in a week, and it was done well...dress is now hemmed, fits in the top, and has a bustle. She also used lace from the hemming process to repair a section at the top that was stained. You can't even tell anything was done to the gown. It's beautiful and fits and I'm very happy. I would recommend this shop for bridal alterations. read more

I went there today to bring my wedding dress to get hemmed by one of their seamstresses and everything was going great until I started to check out. My friend was with me who is also looking for a seamstress so the lady asked her to show her a picture of her dress to see what she would be working with. When the lady saw her dress she looks at me (AS IM PAYING HER MY DEPOSIT) and goes - your dress is disappointing compared to your friends dress here and laughed it off. I was in TEARS on my way home. My husband drove me back an hour later and we picked up my dress and got my deposit back. With COVID going on and having to reschedule our lives with our wedding, that should not be a comment that should ever be said to a bride. Completely unprofessional and absolutely heart breaking. Be careful going here - otherwise they will tell you how they really feel about your wedding dress. read more

First impression was great prices are fair Olga is very nice very friendly glad we are able to find another company / business in downtown Lake Worth and support our town we live in ! read more

Olga is absolutely amazing. She did a great job altering my wedding dress and making me feel comfortable as all my bridesmaids and family live up north. I would recommend her any day! read more

Olga is amazing!! I brought in a skirt, top, and a few pairs of pants that I thought were destroyed by another tailor and she fixed everything. The skirt had been seriously butchered and she made it beautiful again. Since then I have brought her all kinds of garments and she always does an incredible job. So glad I found her. read more

I had office style pants from Express taken in quite a bit. The work is excellent! I am happy to recommend this shop to everyone.

The fastest, nicest alteration place I have found in the south Palm Beach area. I needed a dress hemmed and they did it in less than a day - perfectly! Very reasonably priced. All of the ladies are fabulous and super nice!! Conveniently located in historic Lake Worth. read more

I went here on a friend's recommendation and am glad I did! The ladies here are fantastic; they are so nice and helpful. They do a really great job and turn around the work pretty quick! I was very nervous about having my sample size wedding dress or about 12 to be taken in so much, but she did a beautiful job and made me feel very at ease and comfortable. Very reasonably priced. Worth going out of the way a bit. When shopping around for quotes on hemming cost, etc., be sure to drop by here and talk to this seamstress. read more

Great seamstress! Olga altered my wedding gown for me and made sure that everything was perfect and that I was 100% satisfied. Her prices are very reasonable!! I went to three towns tailors before her, and she was by far the best price and much kinder and patient than any other place I'd gone to. Would definitely go back and recommend her to everyone. read more

I only had a few days to get a huge alteration of a bridesmaid dress done before my wedding. The dress needed to go down about 6 sizes. Not only did Olga have the alterations done before our short deadline, bridesmaids thought the altered dress looked even better than the original dress. She also offered excellent customer service. I would highly recommend alterations done by Olga. read more

I have brought two dresses here for alterations and both were done wonderfully! The first was a bridesmaid dress that needed to be shortened and taken in at the waist. The other was a maxi dress that needed to be shortened. Olga did a great job and they fit perfectly now. The turn around time was quick and prices are reasonable. I will definitely be back! read more

Brought 2 alterations to her. Spent an hour explaining what I wanted, she transformed my top into something hideous and not at all what we discussed. Ruined it with holes and didn't care. Wouldn't refund my $. Overpriced, not professional and not capable. Very bad experience overall, I won't be back. read more

Awesome Professional, Courteous and very conscientious about her work. My outfits are amazing! Thank you Olga!

her work is good. no doubt. but she made a comment to me in the middle of her store not long ago saying "wow, you've really gained weight haven't you? in your bottom? it wasn't that big before!" she wasn't measuring me or anything. just looking at me while I waited to pick something up. just FYI that is not something you should ever say to anyone. it's hurtful, unprofessional, and rude. you NEVER know what someone is going through. needless to say I won't be returning at all. read more

Repaired a zipper quickly, and didn't charge me for the extra repair I didn't ask for that they did by mistake. Friendly, too!

Olga is great! Very talented seamstress she knows her stuff! I've been going to her for years and recently she's worked on my daughter's wedding gown and my fur coat . So in other words she can do anything and does it well! To top it off the price is always good. read more

Excellent job,that's what they did with my daughter's prom dress!!! Olga and everybody also there, are very nice .

I needed to find an alteration shop fast! I found this place by luck on line today. Olga is very friendly, fast, reasonably priced and in a great location. She had my pants ready at the time she said. She even remembered my name. I felt flattered, the shop is clean and neat and they did a wonderful job fixing my zipper. I would recommend any and everyone here! read more

Worst place I've ever had alterations done. Had to take things back to have redone, like one pant leg 1"+ bigger than other one. Third time a pair of $185 jeans ruined. She doesn't listen & acts like it's a burden when you try to explain what you want done. Not professional, won't go back & won't recommend. read more
