My wedding was supposed to happen two years ago but was delayed because of COVID. I was referred here because I needed alterations and Lana did an amazing job! The whole top needed to be redone, but you wouldn't be able to tell. I'm definitely recommend going to her for wedding dress alterations! read more

Professional Bridal Alterations - Altered dress - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Orange, California

Where do I even begin...? Well first and foremost Lana is a magician!!! Not only did she alter my dress that was two sizes too big and fit for a 5' 10" woman - not this 5' 1" chick, but she did it without a single trace of disturbance to the dress, lace, material, etc. I'm sure every bride buys her dress and loves it, but after getting my dress altered and fitted to me I can proudly say that I 100% love my dress and is tailored to me!!! If only I can wear it on a daily basis. Apart from the awesome service Lana provided me, she is very timely, understanding, professional, and just overall extremely passionate about her trade and it definitely shows in her work. While it may be tempting to keep searching for a tailor that is within budget - Lana/Professional Bridal Alterations is worth every penny and more!!! You will have absolutely no regrets!!! read more

Really great experience here! I had 3-4 appointments with Lana leading up to my wedding, and she made the entire alterations experience fun and welcoming. She also provided a lot of good advice and tips for the day-of my wedding and was prompt to answer all my questions. She makes herself available via text and is super flexible with coordinating schedules & making payments. Lana has been doing this for a long time, so you're in good hands for your special day! I left my last appointment feeling like she was a friend :) 10/10! read more

Daughter's wedding dress alteration. We paid $1450 for the alterations. She was late or cancelled several appointments at the last minute even when my daughter was traveling down to Orange from Santa Monica having to miss work. She also revising the price for ironing the veil up 150 even though the first day we came in the quote included that in the price. The day we went to pick up the dress she was not there and we waited 20 minutes for her to arrive. The dress unprofessional behavior and what felt like price gauging made this experience stressful, expensive. Go someplace else. read more

First off, Lana is amazing! She was very thorough and professional and always so friendly and pleasant. She made sure that my dress fit me perfectly and was also very considerate about making sure that I could move around in it and that I was going to have a great time on my wedding day. She didn't want me to worry about anything not fitting correctly or the dress being too long to where I'd have to hold it up all night. I also presented a challenge for her because I wore 2" heels during the ceremony and then was changing into high top sneakers with less than 1" soles - so she had to find the right hem length that wouldn't make my dress look too short with heels on but that also wouldn't be dragging on the floor when I changed into my sneakers. Everything came out amazing and she was such a delight to work with! I highly recommend Lana :) read more

I do not recommend Lana for the tailoring of any dress. I purchased a wedding gown that was 3 sizes too big and decided to have it tailored down to my size. After looking around I went in to see Lana she had me come in and try it on and told me it would be $1,295 to alter the dress. I nearly passed out being that was just under what the dress cost! I loved the dress and decided that I would pay a "professional" for my peace of mind. Initially I went in April but she turned me away because the wedding date (6/24) was too far away and she didn't want to alter it and I gain weight by June( She mentioned my weight numerous times throughout the visits) . I came back in on 4/28 and she again sent me away b/c I had the wrong bra. She told me I had to purchase a specific bra from a place in Tustin because she was going to use it for the cups on the dress. I spent $90 on exactly the same bra I already had & it was final sale. (Turns out her sister works there) so I'm sure it's just a up sell for her sister) when I brought the bra in she "didn't need it anymore". I returned again 5/9 & I was stressed b/c we're running short on time but it was too late to go anywhere else. I go for the fittings & anytime she calls me I rush over. On 6/19 I should be taking my dress home but when I try on my dress the Hem is uneven I mention it to her and she blames me. I also told her I wanted removable straps but she sewed in the straps so it was no longer strapless. This is where everything starts falling apart. She tells me to come back later so she can fix the hem. I return about 2 hours later & the dress that fit perfectly suddenly DOES NOT FIT. I couldn't even get this dress to zip up. I asked her what happened b/c it fit 2 hours ago! She says that nothing has changed. She blames me/She blames the weather and tells me to take the dress and try it on day of the wedding. If it doesn't fit bring it back. I refuse to take the dress she is obviously angry that I wouldn't take it and I tell her I would be back tomorrow to try it on. As I leave she tell me to try & only drink green smoothies for the remainder of the week I would lose weight "feel good" & "look good" if I did that. She also recommended that I try a body wrap to cut the weight. She even told me to only drink ice coffee black so I don't get any bigger. I ignored all her comments but left feeling crappy. I came back the next day and tried on the dress it almost zipped but I looked like I was exploding out of the top. I told her there was no way I could wear it. I felt uncomfortable, I looked like I was a busted can of biscuits. I left feeling defeated. I shopped at a bridal store that was specifically for plus size women to avoid that "it's too small" feeling. I felt so beautiful when I brought in my dress. I ended up leaving feeling so ugly and without a dress! I had no idea what I was going to do now that I was 3 days away from my wedding with no dress. I'm not a straight size so I couldn't just go to any bridal store and pick out an off the rack dress. I asked Lana if she could fix it or not because I needed to have a plan B. She got super irritated with me and yelled at me telling me not to question her and to stop with the BS about finding another dress. She would fix it but she was going to lose her personal time doing it. She also told me I would be paying another $300~ for the hand beading. I was flabbergasted. How could I pay $1,595 for dress alterations?! The next day she calls me in to try on the dress again and it fits but it's slightly loose& doesn't hold the girls up but I'd rather have it loose than too tight like it was. As I was taking off the dress Lana mouthing to my mother that she was so small and that I her daughter am too big. My mother ignored her and only told me that when I got home to avoid any fighting. Lana gave me my dress didn't charge me for the extra beading but did tell me that she deserved it and should I change my mind she would be waiting to receive payment. I left with my dress in hand slightly too big on Thursday night (6/22). Lana even waved to me as we left and said " now you can eat a whole pizza if you want!" Thank you Lana for butchering my dress. Thank you for allowing me to pay a ton of money to be belittled. Thank you for ruining what was supposed to be an amazing experience. Wedding are already stressful, you do not want to be stressing about if you'll have a wedding dress or not. DO YOURSELF THE FAVOR AND FIND SOME PLACE ELSE. $1,295 down the drain read more

The owner Lana had me try on my dress and critized everything about how my dress fit on me, even things I liked. She was going to charge me an insane amount for both sleeves, bustle, and the fabric inside for about $1k. She was pushy on changing material and I left there so disappointed and even worse, not beautiful in my wedding dress. I got the same alterations I needed with no nit-picking or criticism on how my dressed looked on me for less than $200 with great quality elsewhere. I don't recommend this business unless you want everything on your dress changed and overly charged for everything. read more

Lana, her team, and their work was truly amazing. She thought about things during the day that I didn't think of that would make everything more functional while in the dress. She's very precise and extremely kind to work with. Lana made sure all alterations of my dress truly fit my body without any blemishes/wrinkles. Anytime there was an issue Lana would fix it immediately with no hesitation. I was beyond thrilled with the end product and felt at eased and blessed with Lana's help. I 100% would go back to Lana again. She was also able to help modify my mothers dress for the big day! read more

Lana was great and I highly recommend her for bridal alterations! She is very professional and prompt and does excellent work and was super sweet and lovely to talk to. Lana took great care to make sure the hem on my long wedding gown was the best length for walking and the bustle was perfect and draped beautifully. My wedding dress was picture perfect thanks to Lana! read more

I received my dress 3 1/2 weeks before my wedding & realized it needed some slight alterations. Lana was amazing & quick & honorable to her word. Very wonderful to work with! read more

Professional Bridal Alterations - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Orange, California

My granddaughter was getting married and I needed to look my best in a dress I had purchased direct from the manufacturer. I had had no need for a professional seamstress up to now and so I researched and found Professional Bridal Alterations. The owner of the business returned my call within half an hour and I set up my appointment for the next day. It was a great day for me when I realized what a gem I had found. She has a small shop in a nondescript location, but she is amazingly skilled and professional as her business name implies. I tried my dress on and she had me take it off right away and gave me the name of a fabulous Lingerie shop. My dress needed a special bra to give me the fit it required. She gave me the name of the owner and called her and I went in the next day and bought a bra. After three fittings, my dress fit me perfectly for the wedding and I felt truly lovely and comfortable! Thank you so very much Lana! read more

Lana is amazing! Very friendly and professional and knows what she's doing. I originally went in thinking that all I needed was the bustle and maybe a little taken in at the bust but Lana offered a couple other suggestions and I'm so glad she did because the smallest changes made a big difference. To be honest I didn't do a ton of research on how much my alterations should cost and she was the first person I consulted- she was very understanding and asked if I wanted to shop around before leaving the dress with her, but I didn't have a ton of time so I said it was fine. With a quick Google search, I think what I paid was average. The embroidery part of my alteration was a bit uncomfortable since I had to stand very still in my heavy dress while the embroidery person re-did the beading after all the parts had been taken in a bit. But they got it done and it looked amazing, so I would absolutely recommend! read more

My wedding dress shop recommended Lana to me and I'm so happy I went to her! She was always very responsive, did great alterations, and even helped me find a hoop skirt for my wedding dress when she saw I was still having a hard time walking in my dress. She does a "dance test" with you to make sure you can properly twirl and move forward/back/left/right in your dress which was greatly helpful. read more

Lana made my bridal dreams come true!!! I got married in November 2021 and came to Lana just a couple months before my wedding. We had a 6 month engagement, so everything had to happen quick. Lana had no issues dealing with our tight timeline was able to do all my dress alterations without me stressing! Furthermore, when I got my dress it was on the smaller side as I am in between dress sizes. I chose a tightly fitted dress so the fit had to be perfect, and Lana made my dress just that - PERFECT!!! I was worried I'd have to order a different dress in the next size up, but Lana figured out what alterations needed to be made to make it work, and made the dress even better! She also made me a CUSTOM veil when I decided last minute I didn't like the one I had chosen originally. I am forever grateful to Lana for all she did to make my wedding dress so beautiful read more

This review is long overdue but there are absolutely no words to describe how talented, professional, & sweet Lana and her team are. I came in a month before my elopement & without hesitation, Lana took on the challenge despite my wedding dress needing a major transformation. Lana added sleeves to my wedding dress which made the original design unrecognizable. I absolutely loved my dress & I am beyond grateful I found Professional Bridal Alterations. When coming to Lana & her team just know you & your dress are in the best hands possible! read more

Lana is such a life saver. I was a covid bride that had to reschedule her wedding. I came upon Lana when I was looking for someone to fix my dress after losing some weight and realizing David bridal didn't Alter my dress well. She was so sweet and understood what I wanted and never pushed me to get something I didn't want. She delivered right in time with only having a couple of weeks to finish mine and my mother and sister dress. She is someone I would recommend to everyone such a sweet owner and will answer any of your questions. read more

Lana was so helpful and my dress is a dream come true. Although pricey, it is worth every penny!

They were very helpful and knowledgeable. Their work was a good price for the quality of work you are getting. I can't wait to wear my wedding dress on Saturday! read more

The service and results were great! Got my alterations done last minute, don't recommend it, but she got it done and made me feel calm about the whole thing. She gave me tips on wearing the dress and made sure the lace and fit was perfect. The hook on the dress popped which was a known problem, and maybe I could've used another bustle, but other than that it was all great! read more

Lana at Professional Bridal Alterations is incredible! Her calm demeanor was exactly the energy I needed as a very picky bride. Lana perfectly altered the top of my dress to fit my bust and gave me the "wow!" factor I was looking for. The hemming was perfect and the bustle was absolutely fantastic. But, what truly saved the day was the technique she taught my MOH and Aunt on how to tie my corset back so that the dress would stay TIGHT ALL NIGHT. My dress is absolutely gorgeous and I did not want to take it off! Thanks so much Lana! read more

Lana is the best! When I first came in I had no hope for the dress. I was ready to go out and purchase a new dress. I was 2 months away from my wedding and in such little time she got it to be my dream dress. At first I hated the top lace was about 3 layers with no stretch to it and also did not match my skin tone. Lana removed it and added her nice and stretchy lace that also matched my skin tone! I had always imagined having a strapless dress and I got to achieve that look! The dress also fit me tight BEFORE from my hips causing a wrinkle at the front and me not being able to even sit in the dress. The dress was made to fit me and only me so perfectly, hugged every curve. I am in love with the final result and made it worth every penny. I would 100% recommend Lana. read more

I will just say that Ms. Lana saved me! I was had bought a dress that I was thinking wasn't for me. That was until I found Ms.Lana and took my dress to her. She altered it for me perfectly and she was so honest with her pricing which is beyond fair! She truly loves her work and is gifted with her craft! She was willing to work around my crazy schedule and she worked so hard on my dress which had a lot of detail. She does not rush her work. I love how you feel like you're her only client during the fittings. I truly appreciate her and helping me with feeling so beautiful on my wedding day! Ty Ms. Lana!! read more

Lana was so great with my wedding dress. She shortened the length and added the bustle. It worked out so well I ended up wearing my dress the whole night. She was patient in explaining the process to me (I didn't know anything about wedding dress alterations) and is an overall flexible and great person to work with. Highly recommend her shop read more

If you are looking for a miracle, here it is. Lana made my lifelong dream of wearing my mother's wedding dress come true. I didn't think it would be possible because my mother is much smaller than I am but Lana made it happen. She turned my mother's already beautiful dress into an absolute masterpiece that not only fit my frame but my style. Taking a 30 year old dress and making alterations to both restore and modernize it while also making it several sizes larger and ensuring that it was still so flattering, I am blown away with the outcome. I am convinced that there is nothing this woman can't do and will be forever grateful that she was able to pull this off so flawlessly. read more

Where do I start! I (and my oversized Enzoani wedding gown) followed Lana to Professional Bridal Alterations when she opened her business and it was the best decision I made throughout the entire wedding process. She was a dream to work with. During the unsettling times of wedding planning, Lana works like an artist -- working with the natural body of the bride to give them a that a fit that best suits them and their ideal image. She is honestly someone you want to work with through and through (I plan to eventually rework my dress into a cocktail/formal dress). She is detail-oriented in the best way, very technical and dedicated to her work -- focusing closely on what the dress and the individual needs. She will also work with the budget that you have and begin by working on details that need the most work. I genuinely feel that Lana cares about her clients and giving them the most confidence in whatever they will be wearing. She even got stains out of my dress that I never asked about! I had three fittings with her over the course of several months, she timed everything perfectly for my dress to fit on the day of and took into account that bodies can change quickly (which luckily was not a problem for me). Honestly, as I write this review, I feel more and more grateful for Lana, and if you have a chance to work with her, do not pass it up! read more

If you want reliability or urgency, do not come here. Especially with your wedding dress, the most important Dress you'll wear in your life. No commitment to her customers, and work is done hastily. Received the dress less than 10 days before wedding, even though 5 visits were made in 6 weeks, dress was pinned in the same locations, kept repinning the HEM over and over. DO NOT COME HERE!! Would give ZERO stars if I could. read more

Lana is my angel sent from God! I had an awful experience at David's Bridal, they ruin my dress with only a week before my wedding!! It was crooked, the layers of fabric were sewn wrong and uneven. Lana and her sister took apart my dress in pieces and put it all back together again correctly. Lana has experience measuring and making patterns for manufacturers. Don't hesitate, she knows exactly what she is doing! read more

Lana is absolutely amazing, not only with her alterations skill and talent, but she is kind and truly listens to ensure you are feeling your best for your wedding day. I came to her with just over a month until my wedding to help fix my dress from poor alterations that happened originally. I had reached out to nearly a dozen alterations places and no one would help because of the time crunch, but Lana was so generous and said she could fit me in. She saw me the day after I reached out to her and was confident in her ability to help fix my dress. I had 3 different fittings and picked up the dress 2 days before my wedding. As I said, she is incredibly professional, is creative with finding solutions that work with the dress and your vision and she is very reasonably priced for the high quality work and services. I would highly recommend working with her for your wedding dress and other gown alterations. read more

If I could give Lana 10 stars I would. My experience with her was the most wonderful experience you could have as a bride. I came in with a dress that was 2 sizes larger than me and she and her team worked with me meticulously for months ensuring that it was the perfect fit. I've never felt so comfortable with someone. She truly is a visionary. She wants nothing more than to make your big day the most magical it can be. I'm so fortunate to have found Lana and will be going to her for anything else in the future. ---Jess read more

Lana is a godsend. After being misinformed by the bridal shop I ordered my dress from, and reaching out to different seamstresses, I found Lana. She was able to make my dress into exactly what I wanted. A job none of the other seamstresses would consider. I fully trusted Lana and her team throughout the entire process. I highly recommend using Lana for any alteration needs. read more

Lana is absolutely amazing!! She had given me a quote for alterations 8 months prior to my wedding. I then soon found out I was expecting a child and was in disbelief. I immediately contacted Lana and she put me at ease! She was still willing to work with me and advised me to contact her as soon as I had the baby. I eventually had the baby 4 weeks before the wedding and Lana started my alterations 2 weeks before my wedding. She gave me time to lose as much weight as possible, and I did loose all my baby weight within 2 weeks. One of my dresses was still 3 sizes too big. She did an amazing job and was able to alter both of my weddings dresses in a matter of 10 days. I absolutely loved the fit of my dresses and was so thankful for Lana's willingness to help me in such a short period of time and put me at ease that I didn't have to get new dresses. Lana is so sweet, patient, hard-working, and excellent at what she does. She altered my princess dress and my mermaid dress perfectly. My princess dress was a heavily beaded corset top with a tear in the back. (I bought the sample dress) Lana was able to do some beading and cover the tear without anyone noticing the difference. I highly recommend her for any of your wedding dress needs. She's certainly the best not only with her work but just as a person. Thank you Lana, you made my dreams come true! read more

Lana is AMAZING at what she does! Like words can't describe what she has done to my dress so far! I'm so in love! I'm so glad I found her! She makes sure it's everything you want and more!
