    I got my wedding dress at Anthropologie in Walnut Creek and Thuy's Pro Bridal Alterations was actually on a vetted list of bridal seamstresses in the area. I picked them because they were the closest ones to me geographically, but in hindsight I'm so grateful and feel lucky because it ended up being a wonderful experience. It takes a lot of blind trust to leave your dress with a complete stranger to cut up, only picking it up in the final weeks or even days before your wedding. I called the # listed and was connected with Thao (whose mother is Thuy) and immediately I loved knowing that this is a family business. Thao is very responsive and if she misses your call, you should leave a voicemail and she will get back to you in a timely fashion. Thao got me scheduled in right away for my free consultation within 48 hours of me reaching out. This was in November 2025 and the consult took us about 25 minutes. Initially, we just discussed what alterations needed to be done and we calendared a time for me to come in again for another fitting (closer to my March wedding). We agreed for me to come back in January 2026 after the holidays, to see if my body had changed at all. At the time, in November, my dress was a "perfect fit" and only needed some hemming and a bustle. In January, she quoted me and I paid at my final fitting pick-up. When I returned in January, thankfully, my body had not changed at all. Thao was actually the one who told me that my dress was a perfect fit in a November so beyond my regular diet and exercise, I did not make any major lifestyle changes so I wasn't too surprised when my dress still fit great! She pinned up my dress to prepare to hem four layers and we scheduled out another fitting for the first week of March 2026. This appointment took about 40 minutes. In March 2026, I came and the innermost skirt was a little too long at my second fitting when I tried to practice some moves for my first dance. Thao said she was able to fix it- no problem. She even steamed my cathedral veil for me. I returned a week later for my final fitting and everything was perfect. She sent me off and I got married later that week. I felt wonderful and beautiful on my wedding day, and I wore my gown for over 15 hours. Just this past weekend, I connected with her again to schedule out dropping off my dress and veil for dry-cleaning and some minor repairs. My dress had a few tears and the outer skirt was torn. Thao was really honest about her approach and shared how she planned to repair it and quoted me on the spot. She is really transparent and fast, and her prices are very fair. You can spend hours comparing quotes in the area, or you can just trust me - a really happy bride - and know that depending on how much work has to be done on your gown, you may be quoted somewhere between $200-650 here and her work will leave you feeling like you have -1 major thing to worry about. I think the key to the best experience is less on the seamstress and more on the bride: find a dress you feel comfortable in, one that compliments your body, and perhaps one that doesn't need a million things changed. Lastly, some personal advice: plan ahead- she is super busy and has tons of brides coming in everyday who already have an appointment. Don't wait until a month out to see a seamstress for the first time...! Make sure to bring your wedding shoes at every fitting if you have them!

    Bustle work from another gown studio

    When coming to Thuy's Pro Bridal Alterations, I had the greatest pleasure of working with Thao! At the time that I had reached out to Thao, I had just brought home my dress from a local bridal gown studio & was disappointed with their services & level of care. They did not listen to any of my concerns about the dress & left me with an unflattering bustle. However, Thao was so reassuring that she would be able to fix the bustle and have it ready for me by my wedding day. I think the photos speak for themselves! Thao changed the 3 point bustle into a seamless bustle under the dress & it truly elevated my gown! I was able to feel confident & comfortable on my special day all thanks to Thao & her amazing team. Since then, my twin sister just recently had her wedding dress done by Thao & my older sister is also getting her bridesmaid dress altered as well. I will continue to refer Thao to all my friends & family because of their quality of service and their true care and kindness to all their customers! :)

    Where do I even start?? I had the most PHENOMENAL experience getting my 2 dresses altered for my wedding. I had a fitted Chinese qipao and a sample A line dress with beading to alter. I had work cut out for Thao! My sample dress had a broken zipper and I had aspirations for more boning, beaded off the shoulder sleeves, new cups, and shortened length. SHE DID IT ALL. My dresses turned out even better than I could even ask for. The pricing was very fair for the amount of hands-on work required for my very particular vision. It was quick, neat, and absolutely stress free. Even though my qipao was custom, the fit wasn't great. She found a way to get it pinned right to fit me better and I couldn't be more pleased with how it looked. I will be coming back for any occasion dresses in the future.

    Absolutely amazing! My dress was stunning because of Thao's work. She also made my custom filipiniana sleeves to perfectly match my dress. She executed my vision perfectly. I was referred from Weddings and Dreams where I bought my dress. I called Thao to schedule a fitting. You may have to call a few times to get her on the line. She's super busy. I brought my bridal shoes and wore the undergarments I was planning to wear on my wedding to my first fitting. My dress fit pretty well but needed to be hemmed, needed a bustle, and the bust needed to be made smaller. Not taken in, but the cups were overwhelming for my small frame. I dropped off my dress and the extra fabric for my filipiniana sleeves and Thao went to work. She gave me a quote and a day and time to pick everything up. A few months later, everything was ready. I brought one of my bridesmaids since she needed to learn how to bustle my dress on my wedding day. The filipiniana sleeves were beautiful! I love them so much. My dress was altered perfectly the first time. We needed to make adjustments to the fit of the sleeves so Thao took more measurements and my bridesmaid and I went shopping while we waited. We returned in the late afternoon and came back to perfect the fit of the sleeves. Thao worked her magic until the sleeves sat perfectly on my shoulders. Everything turned out stunning. Pay in cash when you're satisfied with your alterations and ready to take home your dress. Total for my alterations and my custom filipiniana sleeves came out to around $900. I'll be back to Thao when I'm ready to transform my dress into something I can wear every anniversary. I think my corset top and my removable sleeves could be turned into a top or something. I'm sure Thao will have ideas too. Could not have been more pleased. Absolutely stunning work!

    Thao is amazing and really good at what she does. She made the dress fit so well with all of my requirements; everyone was commenting how I looked like a princess! She's meticulous and understanding.

    Thanks chi Thao/Thuy for fixing my dress nicely, I got my wedding dresses back in my hometown but luckily found chi Thao through a friend who had her dress also altered by Thao before, I was so happy with the finished dresses after all alterations that I needed.

    When I first purchased my dress. You can see it's a little long.

    Service I received from Thuy was amazing!! I called in to schedule an appointment and she was able to fit me in that same day. My dress already fit me, but it was a little too long so I just needed to get it hemmed and have a bustle added. I came back to pick up my dress and it was perfect! I was a little worried about the bustle but she made it so easy. She walked me through it and I was able to record a video to refer back to her instructions. Highly recommend!!!

    Thao did an amazing job with my daughter's dress alteration and custom Filipiana sleeves. The dress had intricate details with lace, sequin and multiple layers. Thao was able to alter the dress bodice and length for a perfect fit. The custom sleeves were so beautiful, great design and execution. The sleeves were made from the extra fabric cut from the extra train. Thao also custom designed and handmade the Filipina sleeves for my dress as well. I didn't have extra fabric, but Thao was able to find a perfect match to my dress. She also designed and hand made the sleeves which looked like it came with the dress. The sleeves are removable which is so convenient if you want the option to remove the sleeves for a different aesthetic. I highly recommend Thao and will go back to her in the future.

    Thao had personal things going on after my dress was with her, but she finished everything exceptionally well.

    I meant to post this the first time I went, but absolutely have to now!…read more The first time I went I hadn't been to a tailor since I was a kid and was a bit nervous about what to expect as I don't think I always know what "well-tailored" looks like and I'm not the most fashionably knowledgable person to say the least. I was immediately greeted by Ali who treated me kindly, professionally, and guided me through the process with the immense range of clothes I brought from pea coats to jeans to suede jackets. Everything he did was fantastic and looks like it was hand-crafted for me. All prices were more than reasonable and I got all sorts of new things to wear. I should have posted a review then but I absolutely had to after my latest. On Tuesday, I tried on a dress I was intending to wear at a wedding that I leave for on Thursday and noticed to my dismay it did not fit how I wanted and was too low-cut. I immediately ran over in a complete panic to see if it was even possible to fix in... one day. It's a silk/satin fabric with a unique cut so I wasn't optimistic. Ali took it in stride and finished it IN ONE NIGHT. He did an incredible job, was super respectful and considerate when trying to figure out what adjustments to make, and I'm so grateful! Any time I ever have tailoring, I know who to go to and can't recommend him enough. THANK YOU!!!
