I cannot recommend Ariana Sewing Shop highly enough…read more I purchased what was essentially a ready-to-wear floor sample that was nearly two sizes too big, but he transformed it into what truly felt like a custom couture gown. From our very first appointment, he listened carefully to my vision and immediately understood exactly what I was hoping to achieve. He completely reimagined the dress by reshaping the neckline, removing the cap sleeves, and tailoring every detail until it fit me perfectly. It was a significant alteration project that required multiple appointments, yet he never once inflated the price or surprised me with additional charges. His honesty, professionalism, and attention to detail were remarkable. On my wedding day, I felt absolutely incredible. The dress looked and fit better than I ever imagined, and so much of that was because of his talent. He didn't just alter a gown. He helped create the dress I had envisioned from the beginning. If you're looking for someone who is exceptionally skilled, patient, fair, and genuinely invested in bringing your vision to life, I wouldn't hesitate to trust him with the most important dress you'll ever wear. Thank you for helping make my wedding day so special.

I can't recommend Mo at Ariana Sewing Shop highly enough. I needed a mother-of-the-bride dress,…read moreand he designed me the most gorgeous dressed imaginable. I do not have a body shape that can wear "off the rack" dresses, but Mo designed me a dress that fit me like a glove, highlighted my best features, and still felt incredibly comfortable. All my friends and family raved over how beautiful my dress was. In addition to a great eye for design and fit, Mo's handiwork was meticulous. Both the exterior dress and lining were finished to perfection. Mo also made a custom suit for one of the bridal party, and it was also tailored to perfection. She looked like a million bucks in her suit! Throughout the process, Mo very carefully explained the design options and "next steps" thoroughly. I always felt reassured that Mo understood the type of dress I wanted. Working with Mo was a collaborative process (with Mo offering suggestions to vastly improve on my initial ideas). Both my family member (who had a custom suit made by Mo) and I look forward to working with Mo again.

Her attention to detail and knowledge of fabric, cut and style is impeccable. If I need something to fit me like a glove, I do not go anywhere else. I trust her with my everyday items, casual, business, etc. i'm so thankful for the day my husband introduced me to her. Her boutique is quaint and pretty and has a curated selection of clothing and accessories from all over the world. She made me look beautiful on my wedding day and did a great job of altering my Anthropologie gown.

Wow! Thoroughly impressed by Jila's services. She altered 3 dresses from my bridal wardrobe:…read more 1. A flowy, ruffled colorful dress for my welcome party. She amended the waistband to be tighter and shortened the dress while maintaining the flow and comfort of the dress. 2. My after party dress had a beaded skirt and jila carefully shortened it. Fit perfectly. 3. Lastly, my Kim Kassas wedding dress!! Its ruffled mermaid tail is what made it beautiful. I plan to resell my dress and jila altered it so that if someone taller than me buys it, the stitching just needs to be snipped to get it back to the original length. It fit me like a glove. She did an amazing job and I'd highly recommend her to alter clothing for any special occasion!

She did an incredible job on my dress (she added boning, shortened the straps, gave out some width, and shortened the dress) and on my veil (she added a comb to it).

Although it took more visits than originally anticipated, Sara did one detail at a time to make sure it was perfect at each step. She was also able to hem my sister's maid of honor dress and use some of the fabric to turn the spaghetti straps into cap sleeves. She made me feel beautiful and confident on my wedding day and I would definitely recommend Sara!
