Judith did a great job with the alterations. dress fit like a glove on my wedding day. would recommend to anyone getting married. a little pricy but completley worth it. then again, i didn't compare other places. she was super sweet, enthusiastic and is great at what she does. i have no regrets using her for my alterations. she helped me pick out my veil for my dress as well and gave me her professional opinion on that and the bussel. Definitely use her!

Judith did an exceptional job altering my wedding dress and creating an extremely complicated French bustle for it. I had a royal length (18 foot) train, and Judith made a 13 button bustle that she mentioned that she re-did 3 times to get it right. I got all sorts of compliments on how lovely my dress looked when the bustle was put in place. Judith altered the top of my dress to fit my body like a glove. I felt simply stunning in it! The dress was a pre-owned gown, and Judith even corrected issues from previous alterations.
The only thing I would change is that I initially asked Judith if she thought I should take in the straps of my dress and she said no, even though she was removing fabric that had been tucked in during the prior alterations. Once she removed it, the straps sat off of my shoulders because they truly were too long. She gladly added the alteration and did a lovely job once I pointed it out to her, but it cost extra to have it done at that point. It would have been nice to have it caught earlier while she already was in undoing the straps the first time around.
When it came time to preserve my gown, Judith offered a service in New York that was the best deal I could find. She was very easy to work with when it came to dropping off the dress, and it is being shipped directly to my home. Talk about simple!
Overall I would definitely recommend Judith to anyone. Her work is gorgeous and she's very fun to work with.

The best decision I made was to take my dress to Judith. I read one negative review about her on Wedding Wire but I found that it could not be further from the truth. First, Judith does impeccable tailoring. My dress has intricate beading and ruching (sp ;-) and you would never know that it has been taken in. Second, she is a perfectionist and puts her clients needs first. I bought my dress a size larger then I needed and Judith took in in two inches and put in a french bussle. When I came back for a fitting I was concerned it was a little tight around my ribs. Judith let it out a little and I came back the following week to a perfect fit. Finally, Judith herself is a delightful person. She is always smiling and easy going. She is going to press my dress herself and hold it until the day before my wedding b/c that is most convenient for me. For the quality of service she provides you will not get a better price. Do yourself a favor and trust your wedding dress to Judith.

Judith was a great seamstress to work with for my 9/26/09 wedding!
She took a simple strapless dress and made the dress of my dreams! The dress had a beautiful design but did not fit me closing, was too long, needed to be bustled, and I did not like the straight across stapless I wanted a sweetheart neckline - she created me a beautiful sweetheart neckline with simple stiches in front to not run the design and detail of dress, she created a beautiful french bustle; 3 layer, and also tailored the dress to fall perfectly at my shoes and took out some fabric from sides so that dress would close on me! The dress was ok when I brought in in but her expertise made it a vision of my dream. Her office was never croweded and she gave me undivided attention. The alterations and service was worth the costs :)

Judith was fantastic!! She was very friendly and she made it very comfortable to come into her boutique. She was expensive but she did wonderful work.
On my wedding day, however, I realized (too late) that my dress was too long and I sometimes had a difficult time walking without stepping on it. Thankfully, there were no trips up the isle!!

I brought Judith a dress that I got as-is for alterations. She tried to work with the dress to get it to fit but unfortunately the way it was made it was not working out. On short notice I found another dress and Judith was able to alter it in a short time frame and it fit perfectly. She did not charge me for the first alterations also and was very accommodating and good value for the money. In the end I think she was mainly concerned with me having a dress I was happy with which was exactly what I was looking for.

I had a hard time finding an alterations person for my wedding dress since I purchased my dress out of state and could not get it altered from the store. Judith's boutique was one of the only places I found that would work on a dress not purchased from their store. My dress had a lot of bead work on it and Judith was able to alter it to fit me perfectly. Judith was pleasant to work with and offered suggestions to help me make decisions about my dress. I would recommend Judith to any bride who had bead work on her dress or bought her dress from another store to have it altered at Judith's boutique.

Judith is incredible! She is talented, professional, and creative. I bought a wedding gown on clearance at David's with the intention of finding a seamstress to alter the shape of the dress completely. The dress was originally A-line with a substantial amout of tool at the bottom to make a poofy bubble buttom, but I wanted more of a form-fitting fit and flare style. I found Judith's here on weddingwire.com and her reviews were so great that I thought I'd give her a try. Of course I was nervous to take my dress to be totally redesigned without having any previous experience with Judith, but after just a few minutes of talking to her I knew I had made a great decision. She was patient and listened to me explain exactly what I wanted and she quickly shared my vision. She was great at offering suggestions for how to shape it to fit my body best and she explained everything she was doing, which allowed me to ask plenty of questions to make sure we were on the same page. The best part was that she offered to stitch it first without making any cuts so I could come in and see the progress mid-way before making any permanent changes to the dress. The whole process only took about a month - I had a first consultation, a second fitting 3 weeks later, and then a final fitting only a week later. The final product was perfect - it fits like a gove and it's exactly what I envisioned. I couldn't be happier with my experience working with Judith. She was very fast, professional, responsive, and reasonably priced, especially for this area. My mom and sister also brought their dresses for her to make some minor alterations and Judith did an incredible job on those as well.

Judith did an outstanding job with my alterations. I bought my gown from David's Bridal, which was not the best choice, but she really made some great changes and all turned out well!

Judith is a remarkable seamstress. She is fun, knows what looks good, and goes above and beyond to ensure that you are happy with your gown. I found Judith after having the Bridal Closet in Vienna do a horrible job on my alterations. She was incredible and made me feel at ease that she could make it right. My gown was stunning when she was done and exactly what I wanted. It only took her a week to complete and her prices are great. Judith made me feel like a million dollars on my wedding day!

Thank you for saving my dress Judith!!!!
I called Judith the Tuesday night before my wedding. She told me to come in and that I could come back to pick up my dress on Thursday (less than 2 days later). The dress was perfect!! I brought it to two other places but they didn't do it correctly. Judith fixed my dress and it looked wonderful!!!

The below was my initial comment, and I had given Judith a 5/5 on the professionalism front. However, after posting this review, Judith posted rude comments to my profile and insisted I had no idea what I was talking about. She also threatened legal action against weddingwire if I did not produce my receipts, which I did. If this is how she treats all reviews that hint at problems, I would suggest taking her overall rating with a grain of salt.
Judith hemmed my dress and created the bustle. My dress was delicate lace, and Judith was the only seamstress I could find who would tackle the immense task of detatching, cutting, and handsewing the lace to shorten the dress. It looked absolutely amazing when she was done - she preserved the scalloped edge and matched it to the dress to create a seamless hem. She also took in the sides of the dress and added bra cups - all perfect. The bustle did not work out so well. She did the bustle American-style, but the hooks and the loops fell out during the reception. I had to re-bustle my dress about 15 times, finally settling on several large safety pins to do the job.

I bought my dress elsewhere and decided to use Judith based on great reviews I found online. I was never really in love with my dress to begin with, and I originally took it to Judith to have a bustle put in. However, Judith could tell I didn't really care too much about my dress, so she offered suggestions as to how the dress could be altered. The dress began as an off-the-shoulder dress with the back slightly below my shoulder blades, and is now a beautiful strapless with a sweetheart neckline and a dropped back. And I LOVE it! I never had any doubts that Judith would be able to do all that she said. Judith is really confident and makes it easy to entrust your dress to her. And she works quickly, and she's extremely affordable! I would recommend Judith to anyone in the Northern VA/DC area - she's worth it!

I found Judith Boutique while reading all her reviews online she is professional and understanding. She listen to me while I was telling her how I wanted my gown to look like and she worked hard to meet my desire. I am completely satisfied with her worked.
I had my fitting with her in Feb.09 and she told me that she will moved to the new location and I heard her telling to the other brides that she will moved in early March 09 so, I went to her new location to pick up my gown.
I will highly recommend Judith's Boutique to anybody that needs Bridal & Formal gowns Alteration.
As for Liz & Travis you should not blamed Judith for not telling you that she is moving to another location just across the street from her old location. Maybe you just forgot about it. The fact is she fixed your gown properly as you wanted that is very important Besides, you can always call her cell phone for any questions like I always did.
I don't have any complaint about Judith's services.
