Wonderful experience

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!

Highest recommendation for Nilah!

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!

Five stars all the way! Amazing bridal alterations experience.

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.
