Wedding dress alterations turned out beautifully. Appointments were on time and staff were friendly and courteous! Also price was reasonable. read more

Work is ok but prices are crazy high. I had been going to the location on Bascom for over 15 years and they were great. New location on Meridian is not friendly and prices are crazy high. Will not be going back. They also charge a $4 fee if you want to use a debit/credit card (despite they were already charging me over $150 for alterations). To add insult to injury the screen asks if you want to add a tip - really? Never again. read more

I started my alterations process on 3/9/26 for a 7/18/26 wedding, which I was told was a good time frame to begin to start with a hem and work up to the bodice later. When I picked up my dress the week of my wedding, (all bagged up from steaming) I was told my pick up appointment did not need to include a try-on. I was extremely disappointed with my wedding dress alterations. On the evening before my wedding as I was fluffing the train, I discovered that the hemming was incomplete and portions of the design had not been finished as expected. At that point, there was no time to bring the dress back to have it corrected, leaving my bridesmaids to spend part of the wedding morning finishing the hemming themselves instead of getting ready. A bride should be able to trust that her dress will be complete and ready, especially with the additional services that were paid, for one of the most important days of her life. This added unnecessary stress and took away from what should have been an exciting, joyful morning. While the experience with the staff was good; Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this business based on the final product I received. read more

26 years ago I purchased my wedding gown from Trudy's and Danielle did my alterations. My dress fit perfect! Fast forward to 2025 and my beautiful daughter followed in her momma's footsteps and also purchased her gown from Trudy's and we went right to Danielle at Just My Size. Her new location is right next door to where Trudy's Bridal is moving to so I can only imagine how busy this little shop and its AMAZING team are going to be. Speaking of the shop, it's clean, bright and welcoming. Danielle is a master at her craft and really put me at ease because my daughter's gown required more work than I realized. It took several appointments to get it just right but holy moly did my beautiful girl look absolutely amazing. This was her dream dress, and Danielle and her team made it fit like a glove. I don't think people realize how much work goes into altering a dress especially a wedding gown that is extremely detailed. It is labor intensive, which means expensive. I know for me. I was a little sticker shocked, but in the end, it was well worth every penny. You can tell this team loves what they do and it shows in their craftsmanship. I would highly recommend Just My Size to anyone and everyone! read more

Just My Size Alteration - Fit like a glove! - Bridal Near Me - San Jose, California

I was referred to Danielle by BHLDN, where I purchased my wedding gown, and I couldn't be happier with the recommendation. Danielle has over 10 years of experience working with BHLDN gowns and designers and it shows in the quality and care she brings to her work. Although my dress was relatively simple in design- the satin material can be tricky, but Danielle handled it with absolute precision and tailored the gown beautifully to fit my body. She even adjusted the deep V-neckline using fabric from the hem when shortening the gown length- such a clever and seamless touch that elevated the gown while keeping its original elegance. Danielle is detail-oriented, takes no shortcuts, and works efficiently. We had 2 fittings, and she made sure everything was right at each appointment and stayed on track with my wedding timeline. She's easy to reach by phone any day of the week to schedule fittings, which was incredibly reassuring and made planning a breeze. Her prices are also very reasonable compared to other bridal alteration services in the area, especially for the level of care and expertise provided. For any 2025 brides and beyond in the Bay Area- highly recommend Danielle for high-quality, stress-free alterations that won't break the bank! read more

I wish I could give negative stars. Came to this location in hopes they would be courteous, professional, and reasonably priced. Requested 2 jeans to be hemmed (original hem). The main woman that works there is absolutely rude and unprofessional. 2 weeks to get 2 jeans back, one pair was way too long. I don't even want to bother going back to have it corrected and I don't even care that she took $5 off the tab. That doesn't compensate for your rudeness! When you have a business in customer service you better make sure you are courteous to your customers! This woman that works there had the audacity to say to a woman in line in front of me that her wedding dress "should be ready" the day this woman requested it.... the woman already obviously nervous about the dress not being there for her big day! Who tells a wedding customer "it should be here"? Absolutely bonkers! Never going back and making sure I tell everyone I know who needs alterations to stay clear of this place! You can maybe get away with acting like this at a flea market but not next to Trudy's. read more

They never returned my call so I went to a better place called Muia's custom tailoring . She did three gowns to fit my daughter for her University Graduations , Pictures & party . Hemmed 8 pair pants as well with in a few days time very precise . Something good came out of their horrible customer service and not returning calls . Thanks read more

I had a formal, full-length dress altered here and it was a nightmare. First, I called to ask if I needed to bring the shoes I planned to wear and the man on the phone said no. When I arrived, I was sent away and asked to come back with the shoes. Next, the lady kept insisting, unprompted, that my dress was too formal for the event and more like a wedding gown. IMO, it's unprofessional to disclose unsolicited opinions, especially negative ones. Because she believed my dress was more like a wedding gown, she said she would charge me $400 for hemming. I told her the dress was not a wedding gown and was sold as a prom dress. We agreed on $270. I asked if she would apply the 10% discount offered by Trudy's and she said yes. She also agreed to hand sew the slit for $35. As I was leaving, the man asked me to take the part of the dress they had cut off because they didn't need it. Asking a client to take out your trash is unprofessional. After I picked up the dress, I realized she had completely failed to hem the middle layer -- she had just cut it and left the edge jagged. And the slit was at least 2 inches lower than we agreed; her sewing was so shoddy, the slit was coming undone before I had even worn the gown to the event. To top it all off, they refused to apply the 10% discount we had agreed on because they claimed it only applies to wedding gowns. Interesting how my dress is a wedding gown or not a wedding gown depending on which option maximizes their profit. TL;DR: They charged me $305 for extremely shoddy work and were rude and unprofessional throughout the experience. I'm disappointed in Trudy's for recommending them. I was in love with my dress and really wish I had gone elsewhere. You and your gown deserve better. read more

Danielle saved me and my wedding dress from disaster!! I had gotten my wedding dress altered somewhere else, and I'm not sure how I missed the very obvious issue during my first fitting and when I went to pick the dress up but when I tried my dress on again at home I was panicking!! The original alterations said they did not want to make any further changes and with just ~ one month left before I had to fly with my dress to Sydney, my friend suggested I contact Danielle at Just My Size. Danielle reassured me that she'd be able to make my dress fit better on my body, and also ended up having to fix the bustle that the first alterations did which made the dress fall unevenly on the sides. Danielle was also gracious enough to give me a kind price as she knew I had already paid for the first alterations job which was obviously quite a mess. She was also able to finish everything very quickly. Danielle really helped me feel better about my wedding dress, and made me feel comfortable wearing my dress. Thank you SO much! read more

On time and alterations all worked out perfectly. Wedding dress, MOB dress, child suit, 2 addl dresses

I took some work pants into Just My Size to get fixed. They have elastic straps at the bottom to tie them together. The old elastic got tied in knots that I could not untie. I had to cut them making the ties useless. I asked her to replace the elastic as they were previously, which means they were all one piece. She took elastic and pulled them threw the same area that the elastic was before and tied the ends into knots. This wasn't want I asked for and something I could have done myself ‍. She charged me $60 for 4 pairs of pants again for something I could have done. I now take my stuff across the street and that woman charges so much less than this place. Maybe just my size is good with wedding dresses but not simple tasks like charging somebody so much money for pieces of elastic that you probably paid less than $10 for and did a shitty job in the end. Just my size only takes cash. To me that's a little sketch. How do you run a business where you don't take credit cards? read more

Danielle was amazing with my bustle and she was so quick. I highly recommend. My now husband had a suit "custom" made by Indocino in Valley Fair and let just say it was anything but custom. It was a nightmare but Danielle was the angel that made everything better. She is so sweet, honest and affordable! read more

I am a bride's mother. Danielle and her team were just wonderful. Trudy's Bridal recommended them. Danielle adjusted the hem, lifted the bodice for a much better fit, and added buttons so we could easily bustle the dress. I took the dress home, and then a week before the wedding, as suggested, I brought it back and they steamed all the wrinkles out. I would go again to Danielle in a heartbeat. read more

My goal was to get a dress taken out and replace the zipper with a corset backing instead! This was something I've had NO experience with and I was hoping to find a seamstress who knew what to do in time for my event. Thankfully, I was recommended this location by a relative who praised the skills of the seamstress at Just My Size. I brought my dress in with my corset backing and the confidence from the seamstress reassured me I was at the right spot for my project! She even mentioned that the corset backing helped cut down on time since she also makes corset backing herself too - how talented is that?! Within a week I picked up my dress and it fit like a glove. What once almost fit, contoured perfectly with support and structure thanks to the skills of my seamstress. She expertly measured it to fit me perfectly with no surprises - even allowing for it to be loosened for comfort or eating. The fit of the dress was beyond my expectations. I didn't know if this dress would comfortably fit me ever, but now, it was truly made for me. Thank you for getting my dress ready in time and for sharing your gift and knowledge! I am now a customer for life. read more

Not what I was expecting when this place was recommended by Trudys Bridal. Small business and not very professional. Not worth the stress to come here for bridal alterations. 1) No propper booking system. The day after scheduling my first appointment she called to reschedule because she double booked. On my second fitting I showed up and another lady was in the middle of her fitting. Again she double booked. 2) Sketchy book keeping. My downpayment was via zelle and my remaining payment was to be in cash. Which normally would be fine but when i went to pay the remaining balance she had no record of my deposit. I had to search through my zelle to prove it. She didn't provide a recipe for when I paid cash. I was worried that when I was to pick up my dress the following week she would say I still hadn't paid. 3) She claimed she could get a stain out of the bodice (I bought the sample dress). When I picked up the dress 3 days before the wedding the stain was smeared and with the addition of a water mark. I had to rush to find a proper dry cleaner who could actually clean it with such short notice. 4) When I first called to start the alteration process I wish she would have told me to not go in for the fitting so many months away from the wedding and just wait. As I was loosing weight we had to keep taking it in. I now know from friends that she should have told me to schedule my fitting a month or 2 max before the wedding. 5) I asked her to add fabric to the back and replace the zipper with a corseted back. It turned out fine. I think it needed larger lacing cord for the size of the loops she made. 6) No person at the front desk. Before each appointment im stuck waiting outside. There is a number to call but half the time no one picked up. read more

Bought an off the rack wedding dress at Trudy's as my wedding date is not far enough out to order one. They had Just My Size come over and pressure me into using them to alter my dress. First off, the alterations cost more than that dress. They assured me that any spots that were on the dress would be removed. I come to my fitting and the dress still has the spots. I ask her about it and now she is saying there is a charge. That is not what you said in the store. She says okay I'll take care of it. Come back for my next fitting and to pick up because she says it is ready. They threw it in a dry cleaning bag with the exact same spots. The staff call her and she says okay come back tomorrow morning. Mind you I live an hour and a half away and she called and told me it was ready. Don't do it! read more

She's the best 5* I bought my dress at Elegant Lace two years ago. Due to the pandemic, we had to postpone our wedding until this year. I was able to finally wear my dress but I would not have been able to wear it without the magic of JUST MY SIZE . My dress didn't fit the way it did 2 years ago but she worked her magic and I was able to wear my dream dress. She added lace to the back and made my dress look perfect on me again! JUST MY SIZE is the the place to visit if you want someone with experience and who will listen to your needs and make them happen. She has a lot of experience with wedding dresses and is very professional. Thank you so much . Vanessa Garcia read more

Just My Size Alteration - Wedding dress - Bridal Near Me - San Jose, California

Disaster. If you have a silk dress that doesn't allow for any mistakes, DO NOT COME HERE. I bought my dress from Anthropologie and the style I wanted was loose fitting, flowy, elegant. What she gave me was anything but. 1. The shotty sewing work rippled on the hips of the dress 2. The pads put in the bust were completely showing, which she blamed on the lighting 3. The style of the dress was lost because she brought in the waste so much. It was so tight you could see the outline of my bellybutton. 4. Every time we pointed something out we wanted fixed, she disagreed and dismissed us. She wouldn't let us take the dress without paying $380 (hem wasn't done, nothing was finished). We immediately called Anthropologie who we sent before and after pics to and they gave us a discount on buying another dress, because YES I HAD TO BUY A WHOLE NEW DRESS. They will also be calling her to send us our money back for the alterations she made as it completely destroyed the entire reason we bought the dress. I was so uncomfortable, I hardly said anything to her. My aunt and stepmom had to take the reins because I really just felt bad as she playing on my emotions. I'm not one to do this, but I'm a bit heartbroken. read more

I have so far had a wonderful time working with everybody here at Just My Size. I called the last weekend of November to get my wedding dress in for alternations and my wedding is December!! Super short notice for them and I was worried they would say no. Danielle was so accommodating and told me to come in that same day and we got my dress all sized a ready for her to work her magic! A little over a week later I went in for a fitting before they finalize the alterations and the gentleman working is so kind and helpful. He almost made me cry with how sweet he was. (I am pregnant too so emotions were high lol) Danielle wasn't there this day as she is on vacation but the other woman who helped me didn't speak much, though she was very kind and helpful! definitely recommend this place and will submit a photo and final review once I receive the final! I cannot wait!! read more

I am so happy to have found this place!! My whole wedding planning process was super fast (I got married within 2 months of getting engaged) so everything had to be done quickly. I found Just My Size on Yelp and read a ton of great reviews so I decided to go to them to have my dress altered. Danielle helped me and was so incredibly sweet and caring. I was about 2 months pregnant at my first fitting and while Danielle was pinning the hem of my dress, I ended up getting extremely light headed. I told Danielle and she helped me sit down right away, and I went on to completely pass out. I came to a minute later with her applying peppermint oil to my temples and massaging my face, while another employee was fanning me. They had me lay on the couch for about 15 minutes and Danielle brought me water and an apple. The whole thing was extremely scary but I was so grateful that she was able to stay calm and be so helpful. I was embarrassed and kept apologizing and she kept telling me not to apologize and reassured me several times that I am okay and just need to stay on the couch until I'm feeling completely better. I am truly so grateful for her. I had two more appointments with her to make sure everything was still fitting correctly and she did such an amazing job. The bustle was very intricate because there was a long train on the dress and she did a beautiful job with it. My grandmother came to one of my appointments with me and Danielle was able to hem a pair of pants for her that day, which was extremely convenient. I am so happy that I found Danielle and will absolutely be back for future alterations. The price was super reasonable, I expected it to cost a lot more based on research I had done. She shortened the straps, took in the back, fixed a part of torn mesh, hemmed the bottom layers so that it was easier to walk, took in the mid section, and put in a 5 point bustle. I was so happy that she was able to have it all done in time and cannot recommend her enough!! Oh also be sure to go to the correct address, as her address listed on Yelp is their old location. read more

I learned of Just My Size from a friend of ours who had their wedding dress altered here and am so pleased we brought my wife's dress here. My partner's dress needed a couple alterations - length and bust. They did a wonderful job hemming the length and adding in cups so she could go without a bra. We were made to feel comfortable and knew we were in good hands. The dress was ready within a week and for a reasonable price. Would definitely recommend for wedding dress alterations. We also purchased a beautiful tiara-like headband. The shop has some nice jewelry and hair accessories as well. read more

Danielle did an amazing job with alterations on my wedding dress. I bought it a size 10 off the rack and it had to be taken in a lot and hemmed. She also added cups so I didn't need to wear a bra, a belt I bought on etsy, and a 5 point bustle. She also made me a beautiful simple veil. The only problem I had, is I used Danielle's recommended dry cleaner, since the dress wasn't brand new, and the pleating on the dress got puffy and messed up. However, Danielle fixed it before the wedding day, so it was unnoticeable. Thank you so much!! read more

Danielle did such an amazing job altering my wedding dress. My wedding dress was a size too big for me and I was scared to take my Oscar de la Renta dress to any 'ol tailor. I'm so glad I was referred to Danielle by my aunt. Not only did she expertly hem, take in, and bustle my dress, she also added the one thing my dress was missing to make it perfect - sleeves! Danielle custom made a bolero using the exact same lace that was used in my dress. I was able to have sleeves during the ceremony and a strapless gown for the reception. I also bought my cathedral length veil on Etsy and the placement of the lace appliques were all wrong. Danielle saved the day and redid the appliques to make the veil absolutely perfect. Her prices are also very reasonable especially for the quality of work that you receive. Danielle took care of all my wedding day tailoring and created a custom traditional Vietnamese wedding dress for my tea ceremony. She went above and beyond to get the dress done perfectly for me and it came out even better than I envisioned. I continue to get so many compliments on my traditional dress. I highly recommend Just My Size for all your bridal alteration/sewing needs. read more

Just My Size Alteration - Dress taken in, hemmed, and bustled by Danielle. She also custom made the sleeves of my dress. Everything came out perfectly!! - Bridal Near Me - San Jose, California

I was referred to Just My Size from Trudy's. I had read some of the reviews before my first appointment and was nervous as a result (in addition to handing my expensive dress over to someone) but my fears were eliminated after after my first fitting! Danielle helped me for my first two meetings and she is a total sweetheart! Knowledgeable, professional and knows her stuff! The other ladies who have helped me have been equally as pleasant to deal with. I had the dress taken in along the sides, as well as the addition of a bustle. Today was my final fitting and the dress looks AMAZING! And it looks so flattering on me! I am so very happy with the work and service. The cost was more than I liked to shell out, but I am certain that their cost is the same as most everyplace else and 1) this *is* a wedding dress and 2) it is the first time I have ever had major alterations done. It is a wedding dress, after all, and that takes a certain amount of work in order to make sure it looks great after alterations are done. For the work they did and how well it came out, it was worth every penny! As a bride, I am sorta over handing out money to everyone but this was one instance where I didn't mind! Yes, you may have to share the room with other ladies but it isn't a big deal. They give you their undivided attention when tending to your alterations and it is sorta fun having other people in the room to OOH and AAH over you, and vice-versa! I will definitely go back to Just My Size the next time I need any alterations done! And I would certainly send friends and family there as well. read more

Danielle is a genius. Her prices are reasonable and the fit is perfection. She's made shirts from my ideas alone and expertly tailored purchased items. read more

Danielle at Just My Size is great! She altered my wedding dress by taking in the bodice and the hem. She made me a matching mask from the extra material from my hem. We also entrusted her to alter my husband's suit. She was confident and knew what she was doing, and made me feel confident, too. Danielle was also quick with the alterations. Getting in touch via phone with Just My Size can sometimes be tricky, but with such reasonable prices and good quality alterations, it's definitely worth overlooking. Highly recommend! read more

We love Danielle's work and have been coming to her for alterations since I was little. It was no question who I would go to to get my wedding dress alterations! I am completely pleased! The good: 1. Danielle did so much extra work for my wedding including: hand-making the grooms vest, hand-making my bridesmaids belts, altering the groomsmen vests, hand-making my fathers tie and my husbands tie, and hand-making shoulder straps and a belt for my wedding dress. All at reasonable prices. 2. They meet deadlines 3. Danielle gives good fashion advice but knows 'the customer is always right' (even though we always aren't) 4. They have reasonable prices for the great workmanship that they provide! This is hard work people! The not-so-good: 1. The grooms tie was lost, I believe we never received it but Danielle says she gave it to us. Regardless, we paid for another one to be made... then she made it from the wrong material... so it had to be made a third time on her expense. 2. She's super busy and can over book her appointments or let them go too long, even with an appointment we always have to wait until she finishes with another customer. Though we never tend to wait more than 5 min. 3. The studio can use an update. I know its hard to make these decisions as a business owner with so much more to do but with the prices she charges she should be able to make the building, seating, atmosphere, etc. up to date and more inviting! read more

Local & kind people. It has some small business hiccups naturally but they do amazing work with alterations. Definitely recommend.

I have been using Just My Size since 2011. I have always had great service and great work done to the dresses I bring to them. I have had two bridesmaids dresses even altered by them and they were perfect! They are honest about the material and shape of the dress and how realistically the alterations could impact the dress. But they manage to make it work every time without damaging the look or shape of the dress. I have two more dresses I need to bring in soon, one being a bridesmaids dress! read more

Got my wedding dress altered here. The owner, Danielle, and another person did the tailoring. My dress fit perfectly! I had a total of 4 fittings (one for the bustle, and 3 for the sides/bust). I made the mistake of insisting that I needed my dress to be tight .. Danielle did what I asked, but when I tried my dress, I had back fat I didn't know I had popping out! After that, Danielle readjusted my dress (luckily for me, she left enough fabric in place) and then it was perfect. Luckily, she didn't charge me for my mistake! She also made a belt out of leftover fabric bc I couldn't find a ribbon belt that didn't cost some ridiculous amount of money. The fabric she chose was the PERFECT shade and she made it the perfect width. Wedding dress alterations are not cheap, but I felt like I got an amazing value for my money! read more

Just My Size Alteration - Bridal Near Me - San Jose, California

Yesterday, I brought in 3 items (2 dresses & 1 pair of jeans) for same day alternations. A tailor (female) told me I can come back at 1:30pm sharp, because they had a busy day. I arrived a couple minutes early, and was told to wait a few minutes. After waiting for 10 minutes, paid $41 ($18/dress hem & $5/patch), and thanked them for alternating my items in such a short notice. This afternoon, I was so excited to try on my newly alternated dresses. As I was pulling one of the dresses of the hangers, I was so disappointed to find 2 pink lipstick stains on the bottom of the dress. The other dress turned out okay, but the patch that was placed on my jeans was so poorly done. :( Currently, I'm soaking the lipstick stained dresses and I can wear longer tops to cover up the crappy stitch work on my jeans. If you want unprofessional and expensive alternation services, this place is a winner! read more

WEDDING DRESS ALTERATION Although the altering was done okay, my experience overall was NOT very good. 1. Upon my second appointment to pick up the dress, I was told it was not ready and that I needed to return again at later date, even though I was originally told it would be ready for pick up that day. The bustle was off center and the zipper had not been fully resown so when I tried on the dress I heard beads FALLING OFF my gown! I asked her if both would be fixed when I returned, she said yes... 2. I returned for the third appointment, same issue with the beads...this is the stuff of nightmares for brides-to-be, as I heard them bouncing off my dress and onto the floor!!! Finally, get the dress on and again the bustle is still off center, I doubt if she even fixed it the first time. Danielle makes some excuse about it was her niece that did the original alterations (it wasn't, her name was on the original pick up slip). Anyway, she told me I needed to come back again, but I was pretty wary at this point, and really didn't want to leave without the dress...so she agrees to fix it right then, which she does. Fast forward a few months, I'm trying on the dress the week before my wedding. SHE SEWED THE BUSTLE THROUGH TO THE FRONT OF THE DRESS! Thank goodness my mom was able to rectify it, but for the $210 we spent, I think we should have received a much better product and much better service. Brides beware, in hindsight I would have gone elsewhere, no question. read more

I think giving this place 1 star is generous on my part. I bought my wedding dress from Trudy's and they told me to take it here for alterations (it needed a little taking in on the bodice and having the bustle done, nothing else). Not only was the work below my expectations of wedding dress alterations but it was below average work for any sort of project! They didn't take in the lining of the dress when they took in the bodice....so zipping it up was a problem because the fabric bunched up on the inside (also made a little rippling effect around the zipper). Then, she actually advised me to do an American bustle (outside) even though my dress was so heavy with the beading on the chapel train that she needed to pin it in two places! (which she didn't tell me about) When I came back to get it and saw the straight line across my ass that her pinning of the bustle had made, I was appalled. It looked like those oldfashioned men's pajamas with the button flap on the butt thing. Needless to say, I had to take my dress elsewhere, pay all over again to have the same work done (and finally ended up with the better option of a French bustle). All in all, I wasted one month of my time, which was more than I really had (finally got my dress back one week before we left for our wedding in France) and about $200 of my money, no refunds. Bottomline: If you want great service, a person you can trust to help you make decisions about your dress, reasonable prices, or you are pressed for time, go anwhere but here! read more

I had a really weird sewing request for this place. I brought in 4 hanging wall charts, that are made of fabric for use in a school classroom. They have plastic, transparent pockets that hold flashcards. I needed to have the the pockets on this chart be a certain size so that the flashcards would fit properly. An older Asian women helped me. She listened to me explain what I wanted. She scratched her head a lot and gave me a few confused looks. But in the end, she grabbed her chalk and sketched out the sewing lines on my charts. It looked like her white chalk lines weren't straight, so when I asked her if the lines would be straight, she gave me the most pathetic look, and said "I'm a seamstress." I'm still laughing over that exchange. It was so funny, but you had to be there. You had to see her tired, annoyed facial expression. I asked if she could finish by the end of the day and she agreed. Sure enough, she had it done. Called me at 6:00 PM to say they were ready. Kudos to this place for taking on a strange sewing project that most shops would probably have refused. And they did it quickly without advance notice. I have no idea what they would do with a wedding dress, but for my purposes, they helped me out. read more

The first fitting went well for my wedding dress. However, the second fitting, it seemed like Danielle was super defensive and didn't see what I was seeing with the dress -- the flare at the bottom started at different sections of the dress, the bust area was not fitted well, and the part in my lower back was not fitted well either. After voicing these concerns she said that I could just come pick up my dress at my 3rd fitting and almost didn't let me try it on when I picked it up. I insisted on it and when I still wasn't happy with it, she said she wouldn't cut it anymore. After having a great experience purchasing my dress, the tailor they recommended didn't reflect the Trudy level of service. Danielle was super rude and defensive after the second fitting; she seemed like a scolding Asian mother scolding her children, except I'm a paying customer and not her child. Furthermore, her shop was really old with cobwebs and spiders everywhere; could use a good deep cleaning. There were threads on my dress when I picked it up and she even lost my protective garnet bag! Was really upset with the way my dress was tailored. read more

I, too, got my wedding dress altered here, and am really pleased with the result. I got my dress from Gabrielle's Bridal, and it was enormous when it came in, and I hated it - felt like I was swimming. But after Danielle's first round of alterations, it fit like a glove. She put in boning/wire to make it hug my bust more, and she maintained the look and shape of the dress to perfection. Her shop is a big change in terms of "vibe" from Gabrielle's. But, her work leaves nothing to be desired, so don't be put off. Danielle is extremely friendly, and I would recommend for any bride to get their alterations done at Just My Size! read more
