Maryse at the UES location made me the dress of my dreams!

I was recommended to use Alteration Specialist by a friend to use for my July 2022 wedding. I was assigned specialist, Maryse. Maryse was so lovely and has an incredible eye for perfection. Maryse did such detailed work on my dress and truly made me feel beautiful.

After buying a Berta bridal gown at a sample sale, I needed many intricate alterations.
Because it was a sample dress, Maryse took the dress in, fixed a few structural issues, added beading that was missing, shortened the train and added a bustle. I’m addition to all of these details, there was nude mesh that was ripped, Maryse added the appliqués from the bottom of the train (that was shortened) and added them to the damaged nude mesh-

Throughout several appointments, Maryse was meticulous, kind, careful, understanding, and her work was absolutely incredible . She completely revised my dress all while adding more details to the top and back of my dress. She was patient, listened to what I wanted, gave her professional touch and never rushed the process, but focused on getting it right. My dress turned out perfect, and it was all because of her. If you are out there looking for a seamstress, do not waste your time at other places and visit Maryse at this location. I cannot recommend her enough!!

Meticulous, attention to detail

I had the privilege of working with Humberto to alter all of the looks I wore for my wedding weekend. These looks were pulled together from precious, one of a kind vintage pieces sourced and styled by Alexandra at Le Grand Strip. When the time came to get everything fitted - Alts was the only place to trust!

The Alt studio in Williamsburg is glamorous and fun to be at. Humberto had the loveliest, calm and joyful energy and his attention to detail was unrivaled. He had ideas for how to supercharge the looks and fits, and also had opinions on when to leave this as is.

In the end, the clothes looked like they were made for my body. This was all done within a month, too.

Its expensive - but worth it!

Trust Humberto with your wedding dress!

Alts has my heart. I worked with Humberto on alterations for my intricate Reem Acra wedding dress and he listened to all my asks, offered expert advice, and did an impeccable job. I have just picked up my finished dress and I am for the first time getting emotional for the big day. Humberto puts his heart and soul into his work and he has made this process and my wedding so special. I’ll add photos after my actual wedding in a few weeks!

Alteration of bride’s wedding dress and mother of the bride’s outfit

I used Alterations Specialists on the West Side. Booking an appointment was easy. When the time came, the woman at reception and the expert tailor we dealt with were very nice and professional. The tailor was very patient. When I returned for a try-on of the tailored bride’s dress, I requested an additional adjustment, which was done well and quickly. I was very happy with how the dress came out. The mother of the bride’s outfit was also tailored and looked terrific. I highly recommend Alterations Specialists on the West Side for your wedding dress and other important tailoring. Thank you!

After my dress I now have a new go to alterations team!

I am so happy I found Myrna and the Alteration Specialists team in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. I initially was referred to them to have my silk wedding dress (by Galvan London) altered, and Myrna did a fantastic job taking it in and hemming it as needed. It fit me perfectly. Myrna was also just a joy to visit with and I felt I could trust her for her expert opinion. After this experience she will be my go to for alterations.

Amazing Experience (at Tribeca Location)

I had a great experience with Alteration Specialists, and particularly Myrna at the Tribeca location. My dress had detailed embroidery and two layers and really didn't fit at the top. She did an amazing job and it fit me like a glove. Worth every penny.

Couldn't have found a better tailor

I got a gorgeous Vera Wang dress at a sample sale, but I needed a bustle. I was worried about taking it to just any tailor, and didn't want to go to a tailor that would cost just as much as my dress. Alteration Specialists was amazing. I went to the upper east side branch and Ornella was my tailor...she also noted (correctly) that I needed it hemmed. She was amazing. She truly has a passion for her work and it shows. The bustle was BEAUTIFUL and did so much justice to the beautiful dress...it looks amazing in pictures, and the hem also didn't take away from the original beauty of the dress. All for a reasonable price. Definitely recommend.

Quality was not quite worth the price

I’m editing my review because my bustle strings were falling off of my dress at my wedding. For 500$ I didn’t expect that to be an issue.
