Karmen did an amazing job altering my sister’s wedding and reception dresses! She was able to fix the dress within 3 days which was a huge relief. Both were Indian dresses with heavy sequence work and stones. I would highly recommend and will be using Karmen’s services again!

This was my first time getting a dress tailored and this was a very great experience for me. John and Carmen were extremely welcoming and understating of breaking everything down for my mother and I. They did such a great job with the fitting that it brought tears to my mother’s eyes. If you receive any dress services from them, I promise that you won’t regret it.

She is amazing! She had my dress altered so quickly and exactly what I needed and MORE. Honestly, if I knew before that she was so talented I would have asked her to make me a dress herself. Would recommend to anyone and everyone.

Karmen is a miracle worker. She saved my wedding! My wedding dress, bridesmaid dresses, and groomsmen tuxes were all made overseas or out-of-state. Once we received them, which was very close to my wedding date, nothing fit correctly. Within a week, she altered all of our outfits, which fit perfectly.

Karmen and John are the real deal. They were incredible throughout the whole experience. They have great hospitality and amazing customer service. This is my first custom dress and I couldn’t be happier. Karmen worked on my dress crazy fast. I came to her in January needing my dress for April and she was done making my dress before mid-February. I wanted something simple for my elopement ceremony and she helped my vision come to life. I came to them looking for a custom made wedding dress because I hadn’t found anything I really loved in a bridal boutique or store. Both John and Karmen were very helpful and made the whole experience very special. I was able to go to the fabric store with them and choose my own fabric which made a great memory. I will definitely be coming again to Karmen for her to design and make my big ball gown wedding dress for my big wedding day. I can’t wait to wear my beautiful dress. Thank you so much!
