They are also reasonably priced for the level and quality of work that they do. I highly recommend The Gold Thread for your alterations, tailoring, and clothing repair needs!

I called months in advanced for a minor wedding dress alteration and made an appointment with Judy. So far so good. The first appointment rolls around, I show up and she's surprised to see me. No big deal, the fitting went fine and sometimes I forget things too. We do the fitting and set an appointment for the second fitting for about a month out. Still gravy. Second appointment rolls around. Again, she's surprised to see me. She searches around and pulls out my dress that she HASN'T STARTED. Then proceeded to make a lot of excuses about her sick grandkid and never apologised. Also starts complaining about another bride who has had 5 fittings. Tacky and unprofessional. I'm frantic at this point and try to call other alteration places, but they're booked and I'm SOL. I reminded her of what we agreed on and that the dress was supposed to be finished in a week. She refits me just as the first meeting and promises to be done in a week. Lumpy gravy at this point. Third appointment and she's finally not surprised and actually worked on my dress. She's talking herself up a storm about the great work she did. (took in the cups and hemmed the dress that was tulle-aka cut with scissors. I guess that's worth bragging about?) Dress fits, I'm annoyed but that's life and I want to leave with my dress. Now there fun part, she wants to charge more than double her first estimate because she said it was "harder and rush job". Jaw on the floor. I explained to her that it was her fault it was a rush job. She had a ton of heads up from when I made the appointment and over a month after our first fitting. And was proud of my non-confrontational self for sticking up for myself and did not do that. Burnt heavy covered in poo at this point. As for the quality, the cup alteration was fine. The hem has a hack job. Jagged and she claimed it was "so hard" to do. It's tulle so luckily that hides well and no one noticed. But lady, stop the BS and excuses. TLDR; Are you looking for someone who is unreliable, disorganized, poorly skilled (I'm assuming this since she talked herself up so much when it came to simply cutting tulle), unable to adhere to timelines, and makes all the excuses ever? Judy's your girl.

I reached out to Sinyan's with an idea to create a Halloween costume inspired by Oogie Boogie from…read moreThe Nightmare Before Christmas, except a more suave modern human vibe. I purchased a cheap suit from Amazon that looked sort of like a burlap sack and envisioned the suit with hand stitching like the character from the movie. I wasn't expecting to be able to pull off the glow, which he is famous for in the movie. But working with the designers at Sinyan's, we were able to figure it out. I brought AI generated designs and specifications (meticulous to some degree) to the team and they were able to tailor the suit, dye it with glowing paint and do the stitching according to my designs. They did it quickly and at a reasonable price for something that is perhaps beyond the norm of their usual business. I'm impressed with the final product and my friends and family loved it too.

She hemmed it and removed lining to make it lighter for a summer wedding. (Her idea) I thought her price was reasonable. The only negative is I left a message on yelp with no response. I called the number on website and mailbox full. I had to go to her shop that is close to my home and luckily she was in her shop. She does the fitting in her shop and the sewing area is on another floor in the building. I made a an appt for the consultation. On day of consultation appt, she was not in shop. So, had to ring the intercom door bell and she took about 10 minutes to come down. The second time for the fitting appt, she was not in shop again, and had to call her to let her know i was there. I waited for 5 minutes. Parking is limited mid day. Overall, I recommend her for the tailoring work, and consultation. Time management need working on. However, she did have my dress ready on time.

A friend and I were shopping for all of the appropriate apparel for a wedding in India this summer that she is attending. While I was there, another woman came in to pick up a customized formal outfit that the Mahrvi Trends team had made for her and she seemed to be very happy with the fabric and the tailoring. The woman working there (quite possibly one of the owners?) was incredibly helpful and resourceful as we went through every single option on the racks! I ended up buying a lovely kurta (even though I wasn't shopping) and I'm so happy with it. The owner even gave me a "welcome to my new business" present!

I found Chrissy through internet sleuthing, and she created a lovely summer cocktail/special event dress for me just from some pictures I sent to her. I love it and hope the weather stays nice for a few more weeks so I can wear it somewhere. Chrissy is extremely professional, communicated well with me and had the dress completed when she said it would be finished. The dresses she has displayed in her shop are gorgeous and if I have the opportunity for another custom dress I will be going back to her.

From selecting a gorgeous silk fabric, to custom-dyeing it the exact shade I wanted, to expert fitting and finishing touches, she got it exactly right! I had so many compliments on her amazing creation (especially from people who are always impeccably dressed!), and I felt great wearing it. Chrissy was incredibly pleasant to work with, as well: friendly, down to earth, intuitive, a great listener, and highly skilled. If you need a dress made to order (or alterations to an existing dress), you can't go wrong with Wai-Ching Studio! [Side note: her line of existing creations are absolutely amazing: beautifully made, one-of-a-kind, and absolutely fabulous.] Definitely make an appointment with her if you have something special in mind.

However, their quote was DOUBLE the price of the dress which defeated the purpose of buying it at the sample sale.

Not only did Sarah Mosher do it for less but she had an even better idea that did not damage the dress. She was super flexible and I ended having my mom and fiancé go get their alterations done there as well! Zeita even offers a service where you can have your pictures taken once the alterations are complete. The space is beautiful and they were AWEESOMMMME when it came to timeliness and consideration for dates. If you're looking for quality service and flexibility look no further!

Zeita Studios was suggested to me through a word-of-mouth recommendation, and I asked if they could do alternations on my two-piece BHLDN gown in a 2-month time frame (this did include a rush fee). Not only were the Zeita ladies receptive to what I wanted done, they even worked with me to find ways to lower the price since they understood that alteration fees can sometimes be costly. Each visit with the Zeita ladies left me feeling reassured about the work being done. For my final appointment, they even did a mini photo shoot with my finished dress since I had a hair + makeup trial that day. In general, they made me feel so loved through the whole process, and they were hands-down one of the friendliest vendors I worked with while planning my wedding. Although my dress got kinda ruined day-of (I had an outdoor wedding so it was stepped on frequently + dirt stains), I felt confident, beautiful, and comfortable wearing it which is exactly how you want to feel about your dress on your wedding day. Thank you, Zeita Studios!
