Niilah was incredible! I am very tall (5’11) and when my dress was ordered to my measurements, the dress did not fit to me like the sample size dress did (it was too big and was clamped during the appointments). This made my dress fit me a lot differently in the chest area and I stressed about it a lot. Nilah said we could get the dress in the sample size and she could take it in from the sides or we could add straps from the hemmed material. I ended up loving the straps and decided to go that route and I could not have been happier with how everything turned out. Nilah is decisive, confident, and dang good at her job! I recommend her to any Philly bride – she is so kind and my mom and I just adore her!

Nilah took my dream dress vision and made it a reality! I went to Nilah about 6 weeks before my wedding, and we had 3 fittings. I had asked Nilah to add some off-the-shoulder sleeves and create a custom scarf in lieu of a veil, and she knocked it out of the park! And the fit was perfect. I had also brought in a vintage dress for our reception that Nilah shortened and fit to me. You can tell that Nilah is a pro and she gives great insight as well so it truly is a collaboration.

I wanted to give Nilah a big shout out. Being a wedding planner myself, picking someone to do my wedding dress alterations was important to me. Having people you can rely on, trust and just not worry about is a huge advantage when planning a large affair. She had gone above and beyond in helping me (even my mom too) and that is what a true wedding professional is all about. I am excited to pick up my dress on Wednesday from her. Also, brides, if you havent picked out your accessories, Nilah has a BEAUTIFUL and BOUNTIFUL collection. Its reasonably priced, but it is really fabulous quality. You can tell she takes time to source unique, yet practical items. Thank you Nilah for being awesome!

Nilah was wonderful to work with! My wedding dress fit like a glove! I would go back to her in a heartbeat. She is professional, pays attention to deal, and took care of my every need. I am so glad I had Nilah take care of my alterations for my big day!

Nilah was very kind and helpful throughout the whole process. After buying my sample gown, I got quite nervous that the very intricate dress would be too big to alter to my size. She brought it from a 12 to about a 2 with no issues-- it fit so well no one could notice that it had been altered so drastically. She recommended and added a silk ribbon lining to my dress due to my sensitive skin. She created a bustle to highlight the details on my train. She pressed my dress and veil and it was ready to go on the day of the wedding with no additional work! She did a beautiful job and for a good price given the amount of work she had to do! I would definitely recommend her services!

Nilah and her incredible staff made the process of wedding dress alterations as easy as possible! My Enzoani Pearl dress was extremely intricate, and I needed a significant amount of alterations in the waist and hip areas. Nilah expertly tailored my dress so it fit exactly perfectly, without any evidence that it had ever been significantly altered. She was timely in making the alterations, squeezing in a second fitting the week of my wedding to ensure that my dress fit exactly as I wanted it to. She also pressed my gown and veil so perfectly that I didn’t even need to touch it up on my wedding day. I can’t recommend Nilah highly enough!

I can’t say enough good things about Nilah and Co.! My bridal dress shop immediately recommended Nilah for alterations, and I’m so glad they did. Appointments were quick and the final fit was PERFECT. Pricing was very reasonable and the quality was superb. It was so comforting that Nilah had worked with my dress designer before too. Thank you Nilah and Liza for a fantastic experience! I will be back with any future dress alterations.

Nilah was fantastic to work with for my wedding dress alterations! We did multiple fittings and she spent the time to make sure everything looked and fit right. She also updated my veil so that it had a nicer metal comb versus the plastic it came with. She stored my dress through my postponed wedding and then steamed both my dress and veil so that it would be ready for the day. Thank you Nilah!

I was referred to go to Nilah from a friend and wow, I'm so glad I did. She was great and so fast with alterations and very clear with needs on her end (getting shoes in advance, etc.). I loved working with her and would recommend!!

Nilah is so talented! She did such an amazing job with my wedding dress! Her alterations made me feel so comfortable and beautiful in my dress! She was so responsive, professional, and helpful throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend Nilah!
