They had me come back twice before I picked up my dress to make sure the length was just right and fit perfectly. The alteration itself was beautifully done, and I was very pleased with the final result. The tailor was professional, courteous, and clearly took pride in making sure everything was just right. I also felt that the pricing was fair and very reasonable for the quality of work and attention to detail. I loved how my dress turned out and was very happy with the finished result. I would highly recommend Akram's Bridal & Formal Alterations to anyone looking for quality work, reasonable pricing, and excellent attention to detail!

It came out to be $240 total, since she also noticed something was wrong with the darts on the dress. It took about three weeks total for her to make the adjustments to perfectly fit my size, and it turned out so well! The manufacturers messed up on the dress and put the darts in the worst place possible, and the seamstress noted that several times. She put in a lot of hard work in order to tailor the dress to what I wanted. She really made an effort to talk to me and help me understand how dressmaking and sewing works, and to ensure that I feel good in what I would wear.

Unfortunately, I brought my wedding dress here to be tailored, and based on my experience cannot in good conscience write a positive review. I paid almost $300 for alterations. The alterations I paid for: hem so the length fits me and add a bustle. The alterations I received: ___. To be fair, she did add a bustle, it just didn't actually hook and/or work. I had people constantly attempting to re-bustle me until we finally gave up and safety pinned the dress. As for the hemming...maybe she forgot? Regardless, the dress was so long I couldn't walk without stepping on the front (a terrible situation for a strapless dress - please use your imagination and pray the photographer deleted the evidence). For what it's worth, I love dogs. However, if I knew she had a dog in the shop with her frolicking around while she's (allegedly) altering clothes, I never would have come here. I have a child with severe allergies (lots of allergies - not just dogs, but also hypoallergenic dogs due to dander and other sensitivities), and wholeheartedly regret exposing him by using this tailor. My wedding was 99% perfect. The only thing I would change would be the tailor so my dress would actually have a chance at fitting. I would give it one star, but I don't want to destroy a local business. That said, I would only recommend this establishment to my arch nemesis. Karen: if you're reading this review, I hope you bring all of your clothes here.

I said fine since I had faith it would be done right. She only fixed half the problems and when I asked her if she said could fix it she said no and wouldn't give me a partial refund. If she had said at the beginning she couldn't do it I would have just bought a new jacket!

I went to Estee based on glowing recommendations from a friend who had her dress altered by her…read more Even though Estee had worked with her a few years ago she totally remembered my friend and her dress. First things first, Estee is a very talented seamstress that does very affordable alterations. This is probably why she is booked months in advance. I started going to her in January for a July wedding, and I called her in November to book my first appointment. She also strictly only does wedding dresses. She works out of her home, so fittings are usually on weekdays. Follow her directions on the phone exactly, because the numbering of the houses there make literally no sense. You'll be changing in her guest bathroom and modelling in her living room. Don't worry usually no one else is home, she makes sure her husband is out of there during appointments. I had three fitting appointments with Estee because I am crazy short and wedding dresses are designed for tall models. I had a somewhat complicated dress and she managed to hem it perfectly around the pattern on the bottom and under the bodice. She also added a bustle to hold up a heavy dress. She also sewed in a nice set of boobs (bra cups) for the top. Estee is also the biggest sweetheart you will ever meet. I was actually kind of sad at our last fitting because she was so nice to talk to, I was devising ways to get more wedding dresses altered. So now that the dress has been revealed, I can tell the world what a great job Estee did.
