    Wedding dress
    Aidan R.

    Maria is super-friendly and very experienced. She had the idea to add the sleeves and it really improved the dress. She can be quick if you need her to be. I was losing weight and she was able to wait to do the alteration once I'd reached foal weight. Looked great!!

    I chose what I thought was a simple dress... I wanted something minimal-but-distinctive that I could wear both for my wedding and the reception. But the waist was too small and the bodice too big, and the dress had to be taken apart and put back together again to fit me. Maria did a wonderful job with this challenging alteration, and I felt like a million bucks on my wedding day!

    Maria left my dress STUNNING! Her attention to detail is something that went unnoticed. During my last fitting, I was left in awe because of how beautiful my dress looked on me! If you're looking for a seamstress, book with Maria

    Maria, Mariaaaa . Where do I even start. I found her here on Yelp and so blessed to have done so! She is an actually gem and lifesaver as I only had 2 months to get my alterations done. She worked on not just one but two dresses for me. She was kind, communicative and extremely flexible. On top of that both of my dresses fit like a glove and I received so many compliments. I would recommend Maria over and over again!

    Wedding dress alterations

    Maria did an absolutely amazing job on my wedding dress alterations! I bought my dress as a sample, and while it was beautiful, it didn't quite fit my body the way I wanted. Maria worked her magic and somehow made the dress look even better than when I first bought it. The fit is now perfect, it hugs my body like it was custom made just for me. She paid attention to every little detail and made sure everything looked flawless. I was honestly so impressed with how well the dress turned out. On top of that, her prices were very reasonable compared to many other alteration places that charge an arm and a leg for wedding dresses. Maria is talented, professional, and truly cares about her work. If you need wedding dress alterations, I highly recommend her. I'm so grateful I found her!

    After months of working to fit into my dream wedding dress, I changed course just 3 weeks before my big day for the sake of comfort. I found a new dress I loved even more -- but it needed hemming, and every bridal shop I called said they required 4-6 months for alterations. I was panicking until I found VIP Couture Bridal on Yelp. Maria was amazing! She immediately understood my situation, got me in the next day, and worked around my schedule. What I thought was a simple hem turned into expert tailoring -- she adjusted the waist and back, added a bustle to my lace gown, and even styled my veil. She finished everything in 7 days, and my dress was absolute perfection -- it fit like a dream and looked stunning. Her prices were about half of what others quoted, and her kindness and skill were unmatched. VIP Couture Bridal is the best for wedding dress alterations!

    Maria was very helpful and explained she would put sleeves on my dress Overall amazing Excited to wear this dress all day on my wedding day !

    Restore, 1992 wedding dress

    Maria is the best. Not only the is she the sweetest person (and really fun) she's incredibly talented. She turned my mother's yellow wedding dress back to the white (it was crumpled and discolored) and she remade it for me to wear. She is a magician, adding a corset and showing you the vision before you know it yourself. Hopefully this is my only wedding, but if I ever have another wedding dress I'm coming back to my girl, Maria! Truly the best, she hemmed, restored it, took it in, and added structure to my mom's old 1990s dress.

    Tammy N.

    So so so satisfied with how the dress was altered! Thank you! I love it! Can't wait for my future husband to see

    Maria was very nice, professional and accommodating from the very first appointment. Getting a wedding dress altered can feel stressful, but she immediately put me at ease with her warmth and expertise. She took the time to carefully listen to what I wanted, offered thoughtful suggestions, and explained every adjustment she recommended. Her attention to detail was incredible--she made sure the fit was absolutely perfect while preserving the original design and delicate details of the dress. The bustle she created was secure and easy to manage, and the hemming was flawless.

    Maria was amazing!!!!!!!! I had a bridal dress emergency where my dress did not fit from a company overseas and she got in and fixed my dress within 2 weeks. I would recommend her to anyone! Life saver!!!

    Maria fixed the bodice and the straps for a perfect fit. The straps were lace, and you cannot even see a seam.
    Jen L.

    Update! I just had my final fitting and I am so thrilled with her work! She also made videos for my maid of honor so she knows how to fasten the back of the dress and how to attach the bustle! :) My brides, hire Maria, she will take excellent care of you! And further update, our wedding was perfect! The dress was amazing and the bustle looked great, and was very easy to transition after the ceremony!

    Aud P.

    I took my wedding dress to Maria, with only 4 weeks to go before my wedding. And she worked her magic and made my dress PERFECT! Maria is so sweet, loving and makes the wedding dress experience that much better. I will be recommending Maria to everyone looking for a seamstress, she is the BEST! Thank you for everything Maria!!

    See all

I was guided to an upstairs hallway with loose organization, was told I could only pick several dresses, and then I only had 30min in a dressing room (I still had a attentive shared staff member to help me get into things). This all worked out totally fine for me, and is a pretty normal sample sale experience in LA, but you should know this going into it! I am an experienced sample sale girlie, but it was also my very first wedding dress place, so the item and time limit made me sweat, especially not yet knowing exactly what I wanted. I tried on three dresses, loved two, and bought my wedding dress here - yes, the first place I went - and ADORED it. 10/10 would do it again. The staff member helping me was awesome - she split her time well, and was a hype woman without being pushy or fake. They wrapped up the dress just as nicely as it I'd bought it full price, and even asked if I wanted to take a "said yes to the dress" photo. The dress was just under $800 after tax, and the other one I loved was just under $900. It needed a little work - the straps were dirty and loosely seen in some places, an aglet was missing, and the lace needed a steam badly. Overall, however, extremely worth it! I am so happy I came here & found my dream dress.

    Updated review: Update: I have to revise my review. I wrote…read morethe glowing review below after my initial fitting because Alen made me feel so heard after being burnt out from dress shopping, and I even tipped generously on top of it. I wish I could say the experience held up, but it hasn't. At my dress fitting, I discovered sleeves on my dress that I was never told about or agreed to. They weren't even written in my notes, so there was no record of the changes that were actually promised to me. Things I was told would be included just weren't there. At this point, the dress isn't what I said yes to, and honestly I'm not sure I'll even wear it. On top of that, my pick-up appointment was scheduled for a day they were closed. I drove in from Orange County only to find out when I got there. I've since tried multiple times to schedule a new appointment through text, including messages that were never answered at all. I really wanted this to be the happy ending my first review described, but between the undocumented changes to my dress and the communication breakdown since, I can't recommend this experience the way I did before.

From the moment we walked in we were greeted right away , offered water , and they even went over my inspiration photos. Everything felt very prepared for my appointment, I didn't feel rushed or limited. What surprised me the most & really impressed me and my fiancé was the way they were both attentive, kind, professionals and knew their styles. They picked a dress out for me on top of the dresses I had in mind and at the end of the appointment I left picking their recommendation because that's how amazing of an eye and taste for bridal fashion they have. How talented is it to know a brides taste and look without the bride even knowing herself. I was truly blown away by their selection. The gowns I tried on were all Maggie Sottero and all gorgeous. Their pick for me ended up being mine and my fiancés favorite, nothing else topped it. Checkout was easy, prices are affordable for the high quality , free alterations with a dress purchase and options for some customizations. The store itself was very clean , uplifting , it felt upscale with all the beautiful lighting , changing rooms & seating areas. Parking is easy to find with street /meter parking or a few parking lots nearby. We said yes to the dress thanks to Esmeralda and America, we can't thank a better dream team ! They will go far in the bridal world especially how they made our dress shopping a dreamy experience.

    Horrible experience from the moment I walked in…read more My mom and I walked in smiling, excited for my bridal appointment. Instead of being welcomed, the front desk staff laughed, and one of them asked, "What are you doing here?" I replied, "I have an appointment," and they all laughed again. Looking back, I should have walked out then, but I decided to give them a chance. I was told I had to wait because no one was available to help me, even though there were four staff members standing at the front. I was told to look through the racks for dresses while I waited. Since it was my first time shopping for a wedding dress, I didn't know the process. Later, I noticed signs everywhere saying not to walk through the aisles, so my mom and I stood to the side and waited. After about 20 minutes, someone finally came to help us. She immediately asked which dresses I wanted to try on. I explained that I had no idea because this was my first bridal appointment and I was hoping for some guidance. She seemed visibly annoyed. She pulled a few dresses, and one of them was absolutely beautiful--I genuinely loved it. However, the overall attitude made me uncomfortable. At one point, she told me the dress was around $5,000 and then asked, "Can you afford it?" I replied, "Yes, I can." After that, I noticed other staff members gathering around and suddenly walking by to compliment how beautiful the dress looked on me. It felt very insincere. Even though I loved the dress, I decided not to purchase it. Buying a wedding dress is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and I didn't feel confident moving forward with a boutique where I felt unwelcome and judged. I politely ended my appointment and left. As I was walking out, I heard one of the employees say, "I told you they weren't going to buy it." That confirmed I had made the right decision. Thankfully, I found my dream dress at a wonderful bridal boutique in Costa Mesa, where I was treated with kindness, respect, and genuine excitement. The difference in customer service was night and day. Every bride deserves to feel welcomed, supported, and celebrated. Unfortunately, that was not my experience here.

The moment I met Angel she made me feel so comfortable and never pressured to purchase from her. My friends and I browsed in her shop until I found my dream dress that she designed. She took my measures and created a gorgeous bridal gown and veil. I am still getting compliments to this day. My dress was affordable but custom and nothing I have seen before! Also she gives you free alterations which I'm grateful for because I lost alot of unexpected weight due to the wedding planning process. Angel is a very busy woman so occasionally she was slow to respond to calls and messages. Besides that I can honestly say I'm so glad I chose Lucky Brides.

The end product was satisfactory, but not without several mistakes and unnecessary stress. Be prepared to be on TOP of the associates as the communication is nonexistent otherwise. While Angel was lovely, her sales associates need training. I wish I could have corresponded with Angel directly, as her associates seemed to not know what was going on/did not communicate. On 8/31/24, I said yes to the dress after having exhausted 6-7 bridal shops in Phoenix. I finally felt a sense of relief. I paid in FULL that day. I signed the paperwork for my dress to be ready in March 2025, two months before my wedding. The next steps were for Yesenia to send a sketch of my dress based on the designs I wanted, within a few weeks. I waited several weeks and when I didn't get anything, I reached out to Enoch (who is no longer with them). He assured me he would get on Yesenia to send the sketch. I didn't get A sketch until 11/20/24, nearly 3 months after I had already paid for my dress, and it wasn't even a sketch of my dress! I didn't get a sketch of MY dress until 11/25/24 and it looked like something she drew in 5 minutes. Very anticlimactic. After A LOT of back and forth on the finer details, I asked if the dress was ready to START production on 12/5/24. I received no response. I sent another email on 12/9/24, no response. I finally booked a flight to LA and SHOWED UP IN PERSON on 12/14 and Yesenia looked surprised to see me. She stated that she had responded production had already started on my dress, and she had sent an email but it must not have gone through. OKAY. I started emailing her again in February asking about the status of my dress: 2/3, 2/15, 2/22, 3/1. 3/1 Yesenia stated she would send me photos of my dress and book my first fitting. She never did send me photos of my dress. I had my first fitting on 3/16/25. I was expecting for all my fittings and the dress to be finalized by this point, but I was just happy there was a dress at all. The leg slit I had asked to be on the right side, was on the left side instead. Because of the way the dress was designed, it could not easily be fixed. They did not apologize for the error at any point. They did offer to REMAKE the dress, however, with my wedding less than 2 months away (5/8/25) and the TERRIBLE communication, I did not want to take that stress or risk. I had also asked for pearl buttons on the overskirt but received satin buttons. Yesenia replied that production had responded on 2/24 (to her) that pearls cost extra; at no point had she communicated this to me. She stated she would have them swapped out for the pearl buttons. On 3/27/25, I sent all the photos of the details I wanted for my veil to Yesenia. Admittedly, there were a lot of details- I wanted a cathedral veil, scallop trim with beaded edge, and for our names and the date to be embroidered. Knowing my wedding date, and that I had to leave the COUNTRY at the beginning of May, Yesenia could have prefaced that all these details would take a month+ to make- but she never stated any sort of time frame. In April, I asked if the original alterations were completed on my dress. Lots of unanswered texts. I had my 2nd fitting on 4/26, the WEEKEND before I was leaving the COUNTRY for my wedding. Luckily the dress came together, even though the leg slit was wrong. The veil was not ready for me to take home that day. Yesenia stated she could have it shipped for $8 or next day shipping for $33. I stated that I would not be paying for shipping over text, and I reiterated this again during the 2nd fitting. She agreed to wave the cost. The veil shipped on 4/28 and I received it on 4/30, a mere 3 days before leaving the country. Luckily the veil was beautiful, albeit the embroidery was smaller than I expected- but everything was spelled correctly (a point I reiterated multiple times via text). At the end of the day, everything turned out OKAY but it certainly was unnecessarily stressful and unenjoyable. I didn't have the dress of my dreams (because of the leg slit on the wrong side- and I didn't utilize the leg slit on the left side) which is crushing when you're promised it and PAYING for it. I don't recommend Lucky Brides for your peace of mind.

From the moment we walked in, the staff made everything feel special -- they even served bubbly while my wife tried on dresses, which set the tone for such a fun and memorable day. A huge thank‑you to Jhocelyn ,who was amazing from start to finish. She listened, guided, and helped my wife find *the* dress -- the one that made her light up the second she stepped into it. And Jose, the manager, truly went above and beyond. He made sure the dress was tailored perfectly and ready for our big day, and his attention to detail made us feel completely taken care of. My wife loved the boutique so much she also picked up one of their super cool custom denim jackets with heart cutouts, lace overlay, pearls, and "bride" on the back. Such a unique piece and the perfect keepsake. And the dress... I'll never forget the moment I saw her walking down the aisle. She's already stunning, but in that dress, it felt like watching all four seasons unfold at once -- absolutely breathtaking. We couldn't have imagined a better experience. If you're looking for a boutique that treats you like family and makes the entire process seamless and unforgettable, Anita's is the place.
