Xiao-Yin must have magical powers. There's no other explanation for how she salvaged my terrible wedding dress purchase at a sample sale salon. After describing to her the Anthropologie look I truly desired, she literally changed the dress within 30 minutes, only using a straight-edged razor. With me standing in the dress. I repeat. Straight-edge razor. 30 minutes. Me in the freaking dress. Xiao-Yin made the time for me until I felt happy with the new look. She played out so many options for me. And she never pressured me to take her suggestions. We decided to take the alterations a step further and create a fun short reception dress because I decided to purchase another dress, my DREAM dress, at Tangs. Kenny was so accommodating in booking my late-evening appointments. I usually had 7pm or 8pm appointments since I work during the day. They usually start working way before the 10am officially opening time as well. Everyone in the back works tirelessly to get all of the projects completed. I am forever in debt to Tangs for saving my sanity and my wedding! read more

Tang did the most amazing job turning my off-the-rack size 10 dress into a dress that fit my petite frame. Not only is her working impeccable, her warm attitude and enthusiasm is so welcoming! Definitely coming back for all alterations, even if it's an hour-drive from the city! read more

I was strapped for time as my original seamstress canceled on me within one month of my wedding! Tang's fit me in for some minor alterations (hemming, adding a belt, and tacking the lining of my gown to the outside of the lace). They also steamed my cathedral length veil. Tang was attentive, so helpful (suggesting options for me), and the turnaround was QUICK. Don't be like me and wait til the last minute, they book up quickly. But there is NO other place I would ever go for wedding related alterations. Tang's is the BEST! read more

Brought my wedding dress and later a brides maids dress here. The ladies are very easy to work with, they listen to what you want, and thoroughly explain their recommendations. The guy who works the register is very kind (even if he talks super slow). I will continue to return. read more

I was anxious about picking a place to have my wedding dress altered. Tang's is farther than I wanted to travel but the reviews were great so I gave it a try. I will recommend this place time and time again to any bride. I never felt rushed or unsure about what was going to happen to my dress. I was worried about the way my gown fit in the bust area and the lady (sorry, I don't remember her name) made some excellent suggestions and it fit like a glove on my wedding day. The hemming and train bustling were impeccable. If you want a stress-free experience when it comes to wedding gown alterations, Tang's is a safe bet! read more

Truly the best of the best. Tang's KNOWS THEIR STUFF. They're not only sweet and accommodating, but masters at their craft. I came in with a dress I absolutely hated because my dress shop ruined it after sending it out for alterations with their "tailor and in-house dress designer". I was stuck with a dress that I was so unhappy about and saw that Tang's was one of the best tailors in the area. I made an appointment immediately to see what they could do. After consulting with them, I decided the dress wasn't worth the trouble; I was given an honest opinion about the dress which I really appreciated and decided to buy a second dress that only needed slight tweaks. I can confidently say that my dress came out PERFECTLY and I couldn't be happier that I entrusted them with such an important aspect of my wedding. Thank you Tang's! read more

Tangs is amazing to work with! The craftsmanship and expertise is unmatched, and they helped ensure my wedding dress fit perfectly.

As a bride who is likely nervous or anxious about dress alterations, do yourself a favor and just take it to Tangs! I purchased my dress in my home state of NJ but needed to get alterations done here in VA so after lots of research I settled on taking it to Tangs in March 2020. The day of my first fitting my bridesmaid had to cancel on me last minute so I was there alone and definitely a little overwhelmed and I think Tang picked up on that because she quickly reassured me that I was in very good hands. One week later, COVID hits, and I wind up having to postpone my wedding an entire year! Tang held onto my dress the whole time and kept it safe which was one less thing to worry about. Fast forward to April of this year when I finally return to see my dress again and find out I lost enough weight to take it in another 1/2 size! This was no problem for Tang and her team and during my final fitting everything was perfect. She wound up taking the dress in, hemming, making a gorgeous bustle, adding cups (which boosted my nonexistent cleavage!), and designed a custom face mask to match my dress. She also helped my bridesmaid fix a two inch gap in the back of her dress three weeks before the wedding! After waiting so long for my big day to finally arrive I was again, rightfully stressed out and nervous, but Tang gave me a pep talk about how amazing I looked and how wonderful my wedding would be. She didn't have to do that but those few extra minutes she spent trying to calm me really meant a lot. And in the end, she was right! read more

I knew I was going to go with Tang's for my dress alterations because my sister had a fantastic experience with Tang's for her wedding in 2015. I found out they opened a bridal boutique and went in and found my dress! Lisa was amazing and picked out a dress that was exactly what I had pictured in my mind. Getting it altered was a breeze and so low stress. Tang's is a miracle worker and noticed every detail. I had to order the dress in a larger size so it would arrive in time but she made it fit perfectly! Everyone here is so kind and amazing!! read more

Sandi is incredibly knowledgable and picked out my dream dress in ONE try. I had been to other bridal stores and never found quite what I wanted, but Sandi nailed it! Alterations with Tang were always fun and she had great tips and recommendations for my dress - I'm so glad I went with Tang's for my wedding dress and alterations. It was stress free and everything was perfect for our wedding! read more

Very helpful!! They were able to squeeze me into their busy schedule and get my wedding dress altered. Wasn't too expensive compared to the other alterations places too. Definitely recommend! read more

I'm super late in making this review but I love Tang's!! I got my dress back in December 2019. My friend and I went in one Saturday afternoon with no appointment and we thought we were just gonna look around but Tang was available for us to try on dresses! We were so happy! I tried one on that I fell in love with. I made an appointment to come back a few weeks later with my mom and some more friends and I ended up picking the dress I fell in love with the first time I went! Tang is so friendly and funny and she makes you feel special in any and every dress you try on. Plus, the dresses here are super affordable! Can't beat that! Thank you Tang, for helping me pick out my dream dress! read more

Tang's Bridal - I said yes! - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Manassas, Virginia

I had my wedding dress altered at Tang's Alterations; and let me say they are awesome! Tang made me feel super comfortable from the moment I walked into her store, and made the 45 minute drive absolutely worth it. First and foremost Tang knows her stuff, she took a look at my dress and made recommendations that made sense and made the dress fit that much more perfectly. Her attitude and demeanor is exactly what every bride needs, she is blunt, to the point and knows what it takes to make your dress look like it was custom made. She makes every customer seem like her number one priority, like she was altering her own daughter's dress. Tang's pricing is also reasonable, she was about $200 less than the boutique I bought my dress from. I had my dress hemmed, taken in at the waist and back (4 inches worth!), cups added in, and the belt changed. Would highly recommend her to any bride that is looking for top notch alterations at a more than reasonable price. Tang's is simply the best :) read more

My wedding gown needed extensive work - bustle, cups, a 6-layer hem- and my dress fit like a glove afterwards. Great value for their work too. Highly recommend! read more

I knew my wedding dress was The One faster than I knew my husband was The One... covered in sequins from top to bottom and unlike any wedding gown I've ever seen before. The problem was, it was the only one left and 3 sizes too big. I think even the salespeople at the bridal salon were surprised I ended up buying it. I brought it in to get a quote from a reputable seamstress in the area and she said 1) due to all the sequins, to get it tailored would cost more than the dress itself and 2) I would have to bring it in right away for it to be done in time (more than one full year before my wedding). I knew it needed TLC, but not like that.. Alas, I found Tang's Alterations. All my wedding dress worries seemed to melt away as she took matters into her own hands. She is sweet, bubbly, and an absolute professional. She was timely, the prices were reasonable, and she never stopped until every detail was perfect. She even went out and found the right undergarments for me! When she was done, It no longer looked like some shiny sack, my gown looked as if it were handmade just for me. I highly recommend Tang's and look forward to working with her in the future! read more

Just an update- I still drive 45 minutes out to see Tang for any alterations I need. She is too cute. And a good, reliable seamstress is hard to find. I could take my chances much closer to home but why bother when I know 200% Tang will get it right. Love this place! read more

I am soooo happy I found Tang's in the endless sea of wedding list tasks, alterations was another item on the list. Thankfully Tang's to the rescue!! She was quick, attentive, and most importantly skilled and affordable!! Yelp- you saved me!!! I only needed a bustle, some bra cups, and a small fix on the fabric where it was bunching and it cost me under $200, $155 to be exact. Do not feel pressured to get your dress altered where you purchased it from!! Global bridal in Alexandria has tiered piercing and just for the bustle wanted to charge $150. I am so glad to be supporting a local woman owned small business!! Take your wedding dress to Tang's they even have text reminders for your appointments. read more

Tang was amazing! She was so great to work with. No one feels comfortable with their precious wedding dress being cut but she made me feel so confident in her from the very start. She did an amazing job with the tailoring and made it so unbelievably comfortable to walk around in and even do a very intense first dance in. She is unbelievably amazing and affordable. Not only that, but I accidentally found my dream jewelry and tiara at her store! Thank you for everything! read more

I just want to say a huge thank you to everyone involved in the alteration process at Tangs!! I had such a wonderful experience and couldn't stop raving to everyone about how fantastic they made me feel and look, and how fun the staff was to work with. The dress looked BEAUTIFUL and I felt amazing on my big day. Anytime I need something altered in the future, I will definitely be back. It was the perfect day and I felt like a princess in my dress. read more

I had the best experience with tangs bridal, they made sure I was comfortable, happy and impressed with the dresses I had to try on. Right away we started talking about what budget and style and the experience I wanted in MY dress. It was so nice, we tried on 2 gowns and the second dress I tried on was THE one. Tears TEARS TEARS! It was magical, and they made me comfortable letting me walk around the dress seeing how it moves. We bought the dress and I am now in the works of getting alterations. My wedding is November 18th this year! read more

Highly impressed with this bridal store. They were able to alter my two piece wedding gown to perfection. They are courteous, professional, and have great customer service. They always see me earlier than my appt when I arrive early which is much appreciated. Highly recommend!! read more

So many compliments on my wedding dress! Everyone there is so friendly & Tang is so much fun to work with!

I would recommend Tang to anyone getting married! She helped my wedding dress fit perfectly -- and in just two sessions! I was very happy with my dress and I'm so glad I went with her. read more

Wow! The selection, even for larger sizes, is amazing! They will keep at it until you find the perfect dress. Cheyenne is knowledgeable, skilled, friendly, and supportive. Sandy assisted me in finding an AMAZING dress. Being a street size 16 (wedding dress 22/×4), I didn't think I would have much luck, but Cheyenne and Sandy worked with me and made my experience AWESOME! I cannot recommend this bridal shop strongly enough. If you are looking for a wedding dress, you can do no better than Tangs! read more

This post is long overdue, but I couldn't find the words to share with other Yelp reviewers about Tangs team. This team is more than just a company where they make your dreams come true. They are a team of wonderful and passionate individuals who genuinely love and enjoy what they do. Amongst everything being taken away from the Bridal experience like many other COVID Brides, I had everything cancelled from my bridal shower to bachelorette party and even my big day. My heart was shattered to say the least. With that being said getting into my wedding dress was a bag full of mixed emotions. I was sad because I had no idea if I was actually going to be able to wear my dream dress and so happy because of Tang. I had a seamstress tell me what I wanted to do with my dress was not possible because of the layers and how "busy" the dress was. When I took it to Tang, she was able to do everything I wanted and more! She is so talented and turned my experience around. With every change every uncertainty she was right there to reassure me and provide me suggestions that I didn't even think about. She can look at a dress, look at a bride, listen to the ramble of us brides in what we want to look like and out pops the most AMAZING dress you could have ever dreamed of. Creating the perfect dress is like an art for her and the team, and to this day don't know how she did it. The turn around time is also so quick too! Her team stayed in touch with me, kept me updated and the prices, you couldn't beat them! I finally got to wear my dress for a few minutes at a our " MICRO wedding" and it was the best I have ever felt because of her! I cant wait to wear it on our new date all night! They also have beautiful dresses in her store, if I would have known this from the beginning, I would have absolutely purchased my dress here just for the experience and the respect and trust I have for them. I would never trust anyone else with something this special and neither should you. She is amazing, her team is amazing, and she truly brought so much happiness to me in time of uncertainty. read more

I purchased my dress at Kleinfeld in NYC and the original plan was to have it altered at Kleinfeld as well. Due to Covid, and the time that it took to receive my dress, I was forced to find a place locally for alterations. I was nervous about finding the perfect place but luckily my sister referred me to Tangs. I'm so happy that she did because my experience with Tang was phenomenal. The entire staff is super friendly, extremely helpful, and handled my dress gently and with lots of care. Tang herself is super funny, a perfectionist and I love how she pays close attention to details. She perfected the fitting of my dress. I also had her cut some of my robes to a shorter length and she perfected that as well. Their prices are also very reasonable. I paid half the price at Tang's for what would've costed me almost $900 at Kleinfeld. Anytime I need any clothes tailored, I will definitely be returning to Tang's. read more

Tang's Bridal saved me! I had a last minute change of plans and needed my wedding gown altered a month before I had to fly to CA. I also added lace straps which were the perfect addition.

I'm so glad with the result and would trust Tang 1000 times over. read more

I had an amazing experience getting my wedding dress alterations done at Tang's! I went in for hemming, adding a bustle, and removing layers of crinoline, but one of the main things I wanted done was adding detachable sleeves to wear during my ceremony and pictures, then take off during my reception. I came in to my first fitting with a few inspiration pictures in the ballpark of what I was looking for and Tang immediately understood how I wanted them to look. They turned out absolutely perfect, to include adding buttons on the sleeve cuffs that matched the back of my dress. I also ended up having to do my final fitting on my own, so she took an instructional video of doing the bustle that was perfect for sharing with my mom and MOH. Timing of the alterations was great too - my first appt. was 11/1/22 and final pick up was 12/8/22 for my New Year's Eve wedding. Dress was from Ava Laurenne in Fredericksburg. Highly recommend Tang's!! read more

Tang was so nice, helpful, and experienced. She helped me create the dress of my dreams. Thank you so much Tang!

CHOOSE TANG'S! Tang took my wedding dress and made it fit me perfectly exactly how I envisioned. My wedding was postponed about a year and a half, meaning I had several appointments I ended up rescheduling to make sure I only had to get it fitted once. I also live in Chicago, which made pandemic travel and fittings a little tough. Her team worked with me, assured me they would make it happen even if I didn't have the ideal amount of time between fittings and it just took so much stress off of the already stressful time. My dress was also too big, but Tang was able to make it look like it was meant just for me. I was worried about the front, so originally she recommended adding an illusion neck line. I REALLY did not want to add this, and we were able to work together to add cups and find other ways to solve the no slip issue without adding an illusion to the dress. It was PERFECT. Tang also was able to add a few minor details to my rehearsal dinner dress and to my mother's wedding day dress to make them perfect as well. It's certainly expensive to get your dress altered, but if you go to Tang you know it's going to be worth every penny and they will make sure it's exactly what you wanted.

Absolutely fantastic process getting a wedding dress from start to finish! I live across the country, but was getting married in VA. This wasn't the closest bridal shop, but I went on the recommendation of a family friend. Sandi was an absolute joy, and everyone was very accommodating in adhering to COVID safety protocols while allowing for a wonderful dress-finding experience. I have a large back tattoo that I wanted to show off for the wedding, and Xiao-Yin and her team were able to tailor my dress to frame it. I was able to do everything needed in two fittings. read more

Amazing experience - went to have an dress altered for my daughters wedding! Marisa helped me with alterations - she was so careful and took her time making sure it was perfect - then Ms Tang looked at the alterations and made a few tiny tweets - it was a fabulous experience and I don't say that lightly- I felt like I was in good hands and the staff so experienced and pleasant down to the receptionist- who was also lovely! I drove all the way from Vienna to manassas 35 min and it was worth every minute! Will recommend to everyone I know. That also have bridal gowns and all the other items that I wish I knew they sold!!!!! Just terrific! read more

I found Tangs through friends and Google search. I picked up my dress a month before the wedding and was worried that wouldn't be enough time. Making an appointment was incredibly easy for exactly when I needed it! The fitting was quick, the dress was ready two weeks later, and they even made a custom video of how to bustle it for my maid of honor! Incredible service is an understatement.

I've never had alterations done on my clothing. I am cursed with not having a butt, like no joke, I am all back, no butt, no hips. I bought a pair of jeans online. I put them on and they were about three inches too long in the legs and the thighs had a good two inches on either side to be taken in. In addition to my jeans, I purchased a dress for my rehearsal dinner that fit well in the chest area but the shoulders and waist were way too big. I placed an online request for information on a Friday afternoon, about 20 minutes later I received a call from Tang's telling me that I didn't need an appointment and to stop by anytime to be measured and drop of my garments. I stopped by around 11am on a Saturday morning, there were a few people there being measured but I did not have to wait. Someone was immediately available to start working with me. My measurements were taken, the clothing was tried on and pinned, I paid and was told it would take about a week for both items. I week later I received a call that things were ready and I could pick up my clothing at any time. Everything was perfect. My items were pressed, hung and wrapped. Both the jeans and the dress now fit like a glove. I can't believe in the past that I've never thought to have my jeans altered to fit better. It's life changing. Tang's was a joy to work with and I will always recommend them! read more
