I found Luxury Alternations on Yelp. I desperately needed a sequin dress altered a week before my…read moreevent. I bought this dress in a XL because the large was sold out. I called on a Thursday morning, and Marine told me to come in that day. Marine and her husband inspected my dress to ensure they can tailor it as sequin dresses can be difficult to work with. I appreciate their honesty and attention to detail. After my consultation, Marine told me they can do it and have it ready the following Friday. I was so relieved because my dress required the alterations to be done by hand. Marine and her husband were so kind and professional! Highly recommend!

For some context, my dress was bought as is from a sample sale. As someone who is is not very tall in height, the dress visibly needed hemming. The wonderful team of Luxury Alterations successfully and beautifully hemmed my dress to my liking without losing its integrity. Even with the inches taken off from the front of my dress, they were still able to allow a beautiful train in the back which looked beautiful as shown in the photos. Additionally, I also wanted to be able to move around during my wedding dance and reception. Marine suggested a 5 point bustle that allowed me to move around and dance comfortably throughout the night. And she did it beautifully without making my dress look frumpy. It was like wearing two dresses for the price of one. As a budget bride, I was worried about cost as many times the price of alterations is as much, if not more, than the price of the gown. Fortunately, I was quoted a very fair price that, to my delight, was less than the cost of my discounted dress. My wedding was 8 months ago but I still look at my dress with awe and I have Luxury Alterations to thank for it.

This was by far the most stressful part of wedding preparation. Maria was one of the recommended…read moretailors from my dress shop. I had my first appointment with Maria on April 19th, 2026. Her quote was a bit high for the work that was needed (there wasn't much to be done), but I trusted what all the other reviews said and decided to go with her. She was also very personable during the appointment so I felt comfortable moving forward - she required full payment at the first appointment. My second appointment was supposed to be May 24. She cancelled a couple of days before and said she would reach out to reschedule. When I didn't hear from her, I texted her to see when she would be able to reschedule. She suggested June 20...which was almost a month later than we were supposed to meet. I pushed back and said I would feel comfortable meeting no later than June 7 - I even offered to come on a weekday if that worked better for her. Miraculously, she had June 7 available,. I had a gut feeling before the appointment that no work had been done, and I was correct. At that appointment, she just put me in the dress again and stuck some more pins in there. She assured me that the dress would be done at the next fitting on July 3. When I got there, there were a few things that I wasn't completely happy with, so she said she could fix it there on the spot...she told me that it would take about 30 minutes - so I just walked around Beverly Hills for that time. After about 45 minutes, I came back to the salon, and texted her that I was there (her office is in the back). Well, she came out about 10 minutes later with another bride! In that time when she was "working" on my dress, she met with another bride for her fitting! I was so frustrated and angry, and she could tell. She asked me if I wanted to try it on again...um yes of course I do. Overall she did an okay job for the dress, but I wish I would have gone somewhere else where they were more respectful of time and professional.

I want to be direct so no other bride goes through what I did. This was, without exaggeration, the…read moremost stressful and damaging part of my entire wedding. I found this tailor through a friend. I had a bad gut feeling early on, but the positive reviews here reassured me. I now believe some of those reviews are pressured, because that's exactly what she tried to do to me. Timeline: - Initial phone consult: Quoted ~$850. I chose her partly because the price was competitive. - Dec 20, 2025: First in-person appointment: The quote nearly tripled to over $2,000. When I tried to leave, she made it so difficult to walk out that I felt I had no choice but to agree, and I left my Monique Lhuillier gown in her hands. She provided no contract, receipt, or any documentation that she had my dress. - Two fittings followed, though it was rocky: She cancelled two follow-ups on short notice, and went nearly unreachable for about three weeks (unanswered calls and texts) while holding my designer gown with very little communication and nothing in writing proving she had it. I kept communication positive yet persistent, as I was genuinely afraid I would not get my dress back before my wedding. - Jan 17, 2026: final agreed "pickup date" (about two weeks before my wedding): I walked in knowing I had to leave with my dress in whatever state it was in, because she'd gone MIA and kept canceling and I no longer trusted that I'd get it back at all. She wanted to keep it (she said it still needed two more fittings) but I refused. Despite handing me unfinished, damaged work, she pressured me to write a positive review on the spot before I could leave, physically stood between me and my own dress, and only backed down once someone else on site had to step in to de-escalate. - In the week before the wedding, I was forced into three emergency fittings with a different tailor just to make my dress wearable. To note as well: her "studio" is a small back room with no full-length mirror, nowhere to lay out a full train or veil, and dirty floors. She was late (about 30 minutes) to every single appointment. But the real problem is the work. A second, professional tailor assessed the gown and put her findings in writing: ** QUOTE FROM OTHER RECOMMENDED TAILOR: "This was not a minor oversight; it constituted a significant mishandling of an extremely valuable and intricate garment. The work required to correct these alterations was extensive and time-consuming, transforming what should have been a standard fitting into a complex restoration project. In my many years of experience, this level of improper execution on a designer gown is rare and, frankly, unacceptable."** Specifically, this tailor noted: (1) boning installed so poorly it punctured through the delicate lace and left permanent holes; (2) a hem cut roughly 1.5 inches too short; and (3) three of the gown's six original crinoline layers cut down or REMOVED -- permanently altering the volume and silhouette the designer intended. We had to buy new crinoline directly from Monique Lhuillier factory and worked with their flagship store to restore it and reinstall full layers of my dress to get it to the original/intended design. The damage was not fully fixable. The boning problem is still visible in my wedding photos, forever. So please read the glowing reviews here with skepticism. On pickup day I was pressured to post one on the spot and she truly would not hand over my dress until I did so. I had to bring in the nail salon staff to help de-escalate and have her give me my property back. A review posted here just weeks after I dropped off my dress described the same thing: a bride not getting her gown back until the DAY before her wedding. A friend of mine used her too, and had the same playbook run on her: a phone quote that roughly doubled in person, and an internal corset left so visibly wrong it was noticeable throughout her entire wedding day. I stayed calm and polite through all of it. That doesn't change the facts: I spent the last two weeks before my wedding scrambling and paying a second professional to undo this work, and I was so run down that I was sick on my own wedding weekend. Bottom line: unless you have money to burn, weeks of buffer in your timeline, and no attachment to your gown coming back the way you handed it over, do not trust a valuable dress to this business. I did, and I'm still living with the results in every wedding photo.
