I called Thuy a week prior I wanted my bridesmaid dress to be altered and she was able to squeeze me in on short notice. I just needed my dress altered to be shorter but she did it so quickly and the quality is done so well. She's friendly and responds quickly. I appreciate her so much! And will re to rn for future alterations. Thank you so much! read more

Thuy exceeded every expectation I had for my wedding dress alteration. She pays attention to the most minimal detail and addresses any concerns, even things you didn't think of. She was able to complete the necessary alterations to my dress within a short time frame and the results were beautiful, specially the bustle for the very long tail of my dress. She added to the beauty of the dress and made it easy for my bridesmaid to follow. I highly recommend her, don't think twice! read more

I'm so happy that I chose Thuy's Bridal Alterations for BOTH of my wedding dresses. I was in the process of losing weight and Thao was so helpful in accommodating dates so that I get the most accurate fit of my dresses for the day off. They even helped show my MOH how to button the bustle and offered to steam my dresses. The dresses were a perfect fit. Highly recommend!!!! read more

I had a bridal dress and an evening gown in size 8 that needed to be altered to size 2/4. There were quite a few challenges around the bust area, and Thao did a great job. The dresses fitted like a glove and were perfect! The pricing and turn around time were reasonable. Thao even expedited it without extra charge. Highly recommend this place! read more

Thuy is very patient and good at what she does! The dress turned out great! I got my dress tailored 1.5 months before the wedding. I had weight changes two weeks before the big day. She told me to come by the same day and altered it on the spot at no charge. read more

Thuy expertly performed a complicated dress alteration! She was professional and timely in the completion and went above and beyond

My best friend had her wedding dresses altered here. Loved the interaction between my best friend & the seamstress.

Super great and so good!! Came here to get my wedding dress and my moms dress altered. Thuy did an amazing job, I can't thank her enough. My dress fit so perfect and she even added a hook for my train to hook up on. She is the best person to go too if you need something altered. read more

I can't say enough great things about Thuy's Pro Bridal!! I bought my dress on clearance at Trudy's. I LOVED the dress I bought. It was their last one, and it was many, many sizes too big. I think it was a size 8 or 10, and I'm usually a size 2. I took the dress to Thuy for alterations, and it came out beautifully!!!!!! Although the alterations cost more than the dress itself, it was 100% worth it. I can't imagine how much work she had to do because I had so much beading on the dress. read more

Thuy's Pro Bridal Alterations - It's perfect!! - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Milpitas, California

I went to Thuy's Pro Bridal per recommendation of my MOH and have since been back several times after referring this business to my other GFs. In the last several years, it has been mostly Thao who has been running shop and she's done a fabulous job. As many weddings during Covid have gone, I went through a lot of different decisions and dresses and wedding plans altogether. Thao was able to expedite my alteration process to just 3 weeks before the wedding when everyone else told me it was probably not possible. On top of that, she had the most reasonable pricing. I will and I have recommended Thao at Thuy's Pro Bridal over and over again. She is also such a sweet person and a bustle pro! read more

Thuy's Pro Bridal Alterations - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Milpitas, California

My experience at Thuy's was great until my actual wedding day came. I brought my maid of honor to my final fitting so that she could watch Thao bustle my dress and take pictures to reference on the wedding day. There were several colored loops and buttons sewed underneath my skirt that was supposed to make the skirt easy to bustle. Well, after my ceremony, a few of the buttons detached and went missing, and we were unable to bustle the skirt the way it was supposed to look. Fortunately, I had a professional wedding coordinator who saved the day with her safety pins. I would not recommend this business if you want to bustle your wedding dress. Thao and Thuy were very kind, and my dress did fit like a beautiful white glove. However, I would not want any bride to feel disappointed and stressed out because of alterations like I did. My bustle would have been completely loose and falling apart if I did not have a wedding coordinator. read more

Thuy's Pro Bridal Alterations - Alterations were excellent before the bustle broke. - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Milpitas, California

I would come back for future dress alterations. Thuy was recommend on several bridal posts on FB groups, so I drove across the Bay to use her services. I only dealt with Thao, who I assume is Thuy's daughter. During my consultation, Thao immediately pointed out areas of the dress that she would improve based on fit. She was well-priced and her/her mom's work was solid. There were hiccups in the pickup process though. Thao didn't remember that I had an appt and a part of the dress that we agreed to have sewn was not complete. We waited to have her complete the dress. Note that the work and business is located at a house. Thanks to other reviewers, it helped set my expectations. The front room was remodeled to look like a bridal studio with a dressing room. However, I think all the sewing work is done in the back room where there may be some cooking in the vicinity. I'm getting my dress cleaned anyway, so this wasn't an issue. All in all, I would come back because I trust Thao and Thuy's sewing expertise. A LOT of other dresses were in the studio at the time of my consultation, telling me other brides trust Thao/Thuy too. read more

After numerous calls, quotes, and consultations, Thuy's Bridal Alterations came out on top for the best value! When I pulled in to this residential neighborhood, I definitely had to call her and make sure I was in the right place. I had two dresses that needed alterations, but they were complicated - they were just removal of one train and hemming the other reception dress. She was quick and efficient and I only went in once for the initial fitting/pinning and then again to pick-up the dresses. I did try on the dresses before I left and I thought she did a great job - especially since one of my dresses had 5,000 layers! I would definitely recommend this shop for alterations, but just know that it is in someone's house and not at a typical shop/boutique! read more

Thao was amazing to work with. I looked high and low for a dress for my reception one year after I got married in a backyard ceremony during COVID. Problem was that I was 8 months pregnant by the time the day rolled around. The dress I wore the first time around just simply did not fit anymore. Not only was Thao able to make the dress fit but she basically had to redesign the entire dress to make it work with my new very large belly. I could not be any happier and would highly recommend this alterations shop to anyone who needs it! read more

Update for post-pickup! I ended up bringing a second dress to Thao (Thuy's daughter) and she was a dress fairy and was able to have both dresses done for me on my pickup date! It was a sequin dress too so I know it wasn't the easiest ... thank you so much!!! They're still sticking with safety precautions with wearing masks and only one customer at the fitting at a time. Both of my dresses came out to the perfect floor length - to the exact measurement with my shoes! They fit me like a glove thanks to Thao :) highly recommend their business if you're looking to get your gown altered. They'll take care of you! read more

Thao is amazing at what she does! She has great expertise and I instantly felt at ease during my consultation. She payed attention to every detail to make sure my dress was perfect. My sisters had their wedding dresses altered here as well. We wouldn't recommend any other bridal alteration except for Thuy's Pro Bridal! read more

Thuy's Pro Bridal Alterations is a mother and daughter business at their home residence. They were highly referred by another bride that got her alterations done here. It was a trek to drive from Alameda to Milpitas but totally worth it. My wedding was in October 2020, the year of Covid weddings. I got my dress hemmed, bustled, shortened the shoulder straps, and took in the sides of my skirt so that it's less flared - all for a great price. They offer the best value, are efficient, and extremely knowledgeable in their line of work. I compared prices and met with two other seamstress prior to booking Thuy and did not trust them. Their prices were either high, they try to oversell me on alterations I didn't need, or I did not trust in their ability to alter my dress. If you spend over $1000 on a dress you don't just leave it with anyone. You drop off your dress within 1-2 months prior to your wedding date. Bring your wedding shoes with you and be prepared to drop off your dress if you're ready for alterations. She'll keep it in safe storage and give you a ticket. You'll get fitted with your shoes on and she will contact you when it's ready for pick up. Two visits and you're basically done unless your dress does not fit perfectly during the second fitting/pick up. Pay in cash when you pick up and you're all set! If you're looking for a lunch spot nearby, Thuy recommended BBH Noodle around the corner. The bun bo hue was delicious and filling and they had a few tables set up for outdoor dining: https://www.yelp.com/biz/bbh-noodle-milpitas. They also used real bowls which is huge because I had outdoor dining pho in disposable containers and it was just a terrible experience. read more

Booked my appointment via text and Thuy got back to me quickly! I bought my dress about 4 months before my wedding, and when I had my first fitting we realized that major alterations needed to be made! Thuy had to alter my dress about 2 dress sizes down (I had lost some weight) and she also needed to work on the hemming. I was skeptical at first because it seemed like she would be trimming a lot of my dress, and I was worried that some of the details of the dress would be ruined. On my final fitting, I was amazed and impressed by how the dress turned out! She was able to keep all the details of the dress!!! Also, when I tried it on it fit like a glove! The sleeves, the hemming, and the back of my dress looked great! The dress turned out how I wanted to look on my body. It looked very flattering and I received a lot of compliments from guests as well as my vendors! I would definitely recommend this place for alterations! 10/10. read more

Amazing work they did on my dress I bought online! At first I was very skeptical that an wedding dress bought online could really be altered just right- but man, they knocked it out of the park!! The arms were fixed (too long at first), the buttons down the back were fixed so they wouldn't fall off on my special day, & the height was perfect for walking on the beach and doing our wedding photos! Even the lace wedding mask they made me from parts of my dress- for this pandemic- was so beautiful! Thank you so much for making me feel gorgeous on my wedding day! Will definitely be returning! *Photos from JJ Chen Photography* read more

TLDR: Thuy is dependable, knowledgeable, and quick - if you need your alterations done, feel comfortable leaving your dress in her hands! Getting married during the pandemic, I wasn't sure if I could even have a wedding until a month prior to the date. With a month left, I didn't know if that would be enough time to get my dress properly altered. I called Thuy and she assured me that she could even get my dress done in a week if needed! I had an appointment with her within the next few days for the fitting, and a week later my dress came out perfectly. I was already in love with my dress, and she just made me fall in love with it even more. She hemmed it to the perfect height, loosened it (darn that pandemic weight gain!), and I also had her make a matching mask for me (only during a pandemic, right?). Some helpful tips: Don't forget to bring your heels during the fitting, and bring cash, check, or Venmo. During a stressful time with a lot of uncertainty, she helped make my special day one to remember. read more

Thuy's Pro Bridal Alterations - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Milpitas, California

Thuy did an amazing job for my daughter's prom dress! We had a little less than a month to find a dress, then get it fitted and tailored. Thuy got her dress done in less than 2 weeks and it fits her like a glove. We had her shorten the length & she even added little hooks for her dress train so she can walk easier. We bought my daughter's dress from Trudy's and they had a list of tailors that they recommended, which is how we found Thuy. I'm glad we used Thuy's services. She's very patient, kind and obviously very good at her craft. Thank you Thuy! read more

I echo all of the rave reviews this shop has been getting. Made the mistake of having my final dress fitting days before the husband and I were scheduled to fly out to our international wedding destination. Lo and behold, zipper wouldn't go all the way up after gaining all that pandemic weight. After crying for about half an hour, the husband decided to be proactive by doing a general google search of wedding dress alteration shops within a 15-mile radius of San Jose and stumbled upon Thuy's. Within the same hour, Thuy accommodated us and made quick work of what needed to be fixed. On our way out, my husband and I both expressed that we had a good feeling about them- and boy were we so right. 2 fittings later within a span of 3 days (2 of which were the weekend!), I had a beautiful corset back with the most tasteful fabric that matched my dress perfectly, boning to the sides of the bodice, and trimmed straps. And the cherry on top? They slashed off 20 bucks from the original quote because they said the work wasn't as complicated as they thought- something they clearly didn't need to do but did so anyway! Really, what kind and generous people. All of it on top of them being truly excellent at their craft. Full disclosure: paid $145 to have the zipper replaced by a corset-type fastener, plus $25 (originally $45) to add boning to the bodice sides and have the straps shortened. Will definitely return for all future dress alterations. Thank you for saving my wedding day! read more

I called Thuy in a panic with just 6 days before my wedding. Beyond my gut feeling, I went with a different seamstress (my fiancée was trying to save some moola). Bad move! The first seamstress did this weird tucking and tacking thing instead of cutting the length of the dress. It totally changed the fit and style of the dress, which I just could not stomach. At the end, it was a blessing in disguise that she didn't cut the dress. My fiancée called Thuy on a Wednesday, and she squeezed me in an hour after she called. I showed up with my dress, and without me even letting her know what was wrong with it, she had pointed out the flaws of the dress and the awkward fit. She examined the dress and informed me that she would have to unstitched the previous seamstress's work. Thuy asked me to return that night to do a fitting (again, she graciously squeezed me in). I was SO relieved to see my original dress when I walked in! Thuy had another bride-to-be, but she and her daughter took their time. I didn't feel rushed at all nor did they rush. In fact, I could see Thuy's attention to detail as she pinned the layers then re-pinned to adjust the length. It was pretty cool to watch! She also took in one side to extenuate my waist. The fitting took almost an hour, and Thuy asked me to come in on Sunday to do the final fitting (that's less than 5 days). I showed up on Sunday and the dress fit nicely. She inspected the shape, the length and the train. She noticed that the train was a little long on one side, so she altered it before I left. She also snapped the two-layer train, so they didn't separate when I walked. Lastly, Thuy was able to bustle the train after two other seamstresses told me they couldn't. My overall experience was definitely 5-star worthy! Thuy's communication was straight forward, but she was respectful and responsive. She worked quickly, but definitely took her time. Thuy is definitely knowledgeable in her craft...she has a vision of dress and the fabrics. Many thanks for making our special day, extra special...because I had a dress I loved!! read more

I had my dress altered here and am obsessed with how it turned out. Thao listened to how I wanted to straps adjusted and knew what she was doing every step of the way. I took my dress in mid April and went back for my final fitting in mid July. The final fitting included trying on the dress again, more pinning for alterations, and then coming back later that evening for one final fitting, and I took the dress home that day. I fully trusted Thao and her team and would highly recommend her for any bridal alterations. read more

Thao & Thuy made my dress fit for a fairytale! They took my sample dress, matched my style and bodice, and abracadabra, I became a Disney princess! It was the most magical experience wearing my dress through Carmel/Big Sur. My dress withstood rain, wind, mud, sand, and rocky cliffs. Everyone was in awe of my dress, even passerbys stopped their cars to take photos. Thao is a visionary, she didn't need to tell me what my dress needed, I could tell she knew by her quick thinking, efficient fitting/measurements, and personable touch. They are very timely, communicative, kind, and talented!! Do not hesitate to come to Thao & Thuy! Be sure to plan ahead, get your dress to Thuy's Pro Bridal Alterations as soon as you can; at least 3 months in advance if you are very detail oriented.

Had my wedding dress altered here through a recommendation from my wedding dress retailer. I got the straps adjusted, the length shortened, clasps to keep the layers of the dress together, and had a bustle added. All of the alterations came out so nicely. I was initially scared to hand off my dress off (to any seamstress), but Thuy's Pro Bridal Alterations did a beautiful job with my dress. I am very happy with the results. read more

My wedding dress had a lot of lace and I am short. I fell in love with this dress because of the lace pattern so it was very important for me to find an alterations shop that could hem the dress without messing up the lace design in the front. I came across Thuy's Pro Bridal Alterations on a bridal facebook page. I booked a consultation appointment first and she took the time to explain each change she was going to make to the dress. The main alterations I wanted was to hem the length, fix the bust area since it was too big, take in a little bit of the waist and altering the straps. After going to a couple other shops for a consultation , I felt most comfortable with Thuy's shop. Most shops did not explain to me the alteration process for my dress. So I booked another appointment, got pinned up and return a month later. She did a wonderful job with the hem! I really appreciate the time and effort she took to cut the lace and reapply it after hemming. She also did an amazing job fixing the bust area to fit my petite body. The straps were altered as requested. Since I did not request a bustle, she added a loop (that hides in the lace) to the side of the dress so I could lift up the train when I walk. The waist area was a bit tight after taking it in so we decided to loose the 4 buttons and alter the back to more of a V shape. I made an appointment to return in one week. When I went in for the finally fitting, the dress fit perfectly! Overall, I highly recommend Thuy's alteration shop. She was very sweet! Turnaround time is about 4-6 weeks. Other than the waist being a little too tight, I wasn't bummed. She is willing to work with you to figure out the best way to make the dress comfortable. read more

Thuy is such a helpful seamstress! I definitely recommend her. She lets you know the truth about what her plan is to make the dress fit you!

I came across Thuy's Prob Bridal Alterations through a friend. I was there for her final fitting and I was amazed by Thuy's daughter's work. She did a really good job bustling my friend's wedding dress. It was detailed and easy to follow. Before leaving, I took her information down for when I need someone to go to for my own wedding dress alteration. The day has come! :D I reached out to Thao and she was very responsive. She booked me in right away for my first consultation. From my first consultation to my final fitting, it was pleasant. Thao is really nice. She is good at what she does. She knows what she is doing and she's very knowledgeable. She'll let you know what looks good and what needs to be done. I really enjoyed the experience. A plus is that it is not far from home and price is reasonable too ^^. I recommend Thuy's Pro Bridal Alterations to all the Brides to be or anyone who needs dress alterations. read more

After getting recommendations from friends and reading good Yelp reviews, I decided to go to Thuy's Pro Bridal for my wedding dress alterations. I contacted them about 3 months before my wedding to book my initial appointment. The mother/daughter team Thuy and Thao are really friendly and accommodating. I was assured my dress would come out nicely after some adjustments. I wasn't too excited about my original dress. I bought it online in a standard size, so it was quite ill fitting. The straps were loose, the bust was pointy, and the dress needed to be hemmed. But after 3 fittings, the transformation was amazing. A custom fit does wonders! They did a great job even with the intricate lace and beading. Overall, the pricing was reasonable, Thao was easy to work with, and I was satisfied with the results. If you're in the Milpitas/San Jose area, contact them for your wedding gown or bridesmaid dress alterations! read more

Thuy is the sweetest lady and her work is nothing short of a pro. The name of her business is true to the word. I met Thuy about 8 years ago when I was a bridesmaid for one of my close friend's wedding. She altered all the BM's dresses (there were 5 of us total) and my friend's wedding dress. I remember the dresses being altered to a perfect fit, and all of us were pleased with the final outcome. She was pleasant to work with back then and I knew we would cross paths later in life. Fast forward to 2018, I purchased my wedding dress at Elegant Lace off of Blossom Hill and Almaden -- where Thuy is on their list of preferred vendors for alternations. I immediately recognized her name, and called her for an appointment later that week. I had a total of 3 visits to her business - once for the initial fitting, the second visit for the final fitting, and the last visit was for payment and pick up. She is really meticulous about her work which is important, because she works on one of those most important items for a bride. As other brides come in and out of her business, she remains comforting and humorous. You can be very honest with her also -- she will alter any part of the dress to your absolute liking. Also, she added a bustle for my dress which was very helpful because my train was long. To my brides-to-be: your dress will be in good hands with Thuy! read more

Thuy was wonderful to work with! She did a fantastic job with my wedding dress -- it fit perfectly. My wedding dress needed to be shortened/tightened/bustled and had a lot of lace, and Thuy made my dress look as if it had been custom made to my size. I felt very beautiful all day thanks to Thuy! Also, during my initial try-on appointment before alterations had been made to my dress, I noticed in the mirror that I needed an extra adjustment that I hadn't originally pointed out to Thuy. Before I could even say anything out loud, Thuy also noticed the bunching and immediately began to place her pin markers to make sure that she included it in her alterations. She's awesome, and I highly recommend her services! read more

Thuy is professional, nice and thorough. She made my daughter feel beautiful while altering her prom dress. She is a talented and accommodating. read more

My friend recommended me Thuy's Pro Bridal since she had her wedding dress altered there as well (she looked amazing!). Thuy's Pro Bridal is amazing!!! I like that we could wait till a month before the wedding to alter the dress, because let's be real here, our weight (could) fluctuate from the stress of wedding planning! Hmm at least for me :p. The price is quite reasonable! The place I bought my dress quoted me over 1k to alter and needed three months and more to alter, while Thuy's Pro Bridal quoted me a little over $500 for one month time to alter. When it came to altering my wedding dress, I had a strapless dress and she made sure not to give me back crack, but ensured the dress wouldn't fall off either. I initially thought it was too tight, but it was perfect on the day of the wedding! Also, she knew I didn't want a puffy dress and made my bustle flatter. Make sure to bring your heels or wear one you know the exact height you'll wear for the wedding, because she'll need to cut the right length. Overall I had a great experience and would highly recommend going to Thuy's Pro Bridal. Thank you! read more

I was referred here from Wedding and Dreams Bridal store in Fremont I was part of a wedding entourage and had to get my dress a bit shorter within the next few days. Thuy was responsive and accommodating to my needs for the dress. Her prices were reasonable. I would definitely come back again if I needed any alterations to be done. read more

My friend got her wedding dress done here and recommended Thuy to me for my bridesmaid dress. I reached out to Thuy for a consultation through her website and she called me the same day. I told her what I needed done - hemming, tightening in the bust area, and adjusting the cowl neckline because it was way too big. We mostly communicated through text and I sent her pictures of my dress, was able to get a price quote, and scheduled an appointment to come in. This is a home business, so there's plenty of residential parking upon arriving. I received my dress about two weeks after my first appointment and my dress fit me like a glove, it was perfect! It was such a pleasure working with Thuy, and the whole process was smooth. I would definitely recommend her for any of your wedding/dress alterations! read more

I love the ladies at Thuy's Pro Bridal Alterations. Last year I got my bridesmaid's dress altered with them and this year I got my wedding dress altered. I'll keep coming here to get my formal dresses altered. They are very polite, friendly, and make you feel comfortable throughout the whole process. Second photo is of my dressed bustled. They created a beautiful bustle that was easy to hook. I was very happy with the altered outcome of my wedding dress! During covid they are wearing masks and I was the only one in the studio at the time. It was clean and I felt safe while I was there. read more

Let me set the scene. I've got a wedding coming up in 2 weeks, but I'm going to be out of town for the week before. I'm a bridesmaid. I really need to fit my dress and I've really procrastinated, which is pretty typical. My dress is: too long, slit is too low (short girl problems), too tight (pandemic work from home problems), and the straps are too long (small boob problems.) I call to schedule an appointment but unfortunately Thao says she has to reschedule. I totally forget to reschedule. Now it's 13 days to the wedding. I'm worried because if it doesn't go well, I don't have the time to fix it again, since I'll be out of town until 2 days before the wedding. I call, and ask if she can do it in 10 days. No problem! I come, bring my heels, put on the dress and Thao finishes with her notes in like 10 minutes. Quick and easy. I come back 11 days later and the dress is perfect. And all for a really affordable price too! Thao is speedy, reliable, and does excellent work. And for the price, I genuinely would recommend anyone and everyone to her. In fact I'm in another wedding soon (gosh everyone's getting married) and will go straight to her. Love her work. read more

Thao did an amazing job with my wedding dress alterations. I purchased my dress from a sample sale (sizing was a little too big and too long), knowing I would probably end up spending more on the alterations than my actual dress. When I first brought my dress in, Thao had me try it on and immediately could tell it was from a sample sale due to the stretch on the straps of the illusion neckline. I was impressed that she could tell so quickly! She quickly pinned up the loose parts to give me an idea of what it would look like fitted, and gave me a quote. It was a little more than I was expecting, so I took the dress home to think about it. I went to another seamstress who quoted me less, but fumbled around pinning the dress when doing the initial assessment. She quoted me less, but the bustle she showed me looked puffy and uneven. Needless to say, I was much more confident going to Thao. I brought my dress in two months prior to my wedding and had one more fitting prior to picking up my dress. I contacted Thao completely through text and she was always quick to respond. The location is a house, with the front room converted into a sewing studio, so don't be surprised when you're routed to a residential area. They are SUPER busy here, especially if you have an appointment on the weekend, but they're efficient and get the job done. You're not going to get the bridal shop experience here, but I think most brides that come here are on a budget. Definitely recommend! read more
