Anahit was truly the most incredible professional I have had the pleasure to work with. She has given her life to the craft of helping brides have the most beautiful dresses and she pours her soul into tailoring perfection.

She was so great at every appointment, making sure to give me space to come to my own decisions about design preferences while also providing her incredible and experienced perspective (from bustle design to what kind of jewelry would look best!). When my sister was unable to attend an appointment, she made sure my mother recorded the instructions of how to bustle - and those videos were invaluable!

She created an interior bustle for my dress that was truly magical, the train of my ballgown became completely invisible. She also created my train which was absolutely perfect for my individual dress. I was never worried about how my dress was going to come out, I trusted her completely.

I wish her the absolute best and hope she knows how much her bridal clients appreciate her.

Anahit is truly a master at what she does, which is obvious when you walk into her shop and see the massive amounts of dresses she has waiting for brides. While I didn't need extensive alterations, the hem and bustle she completed for me was flawless. The bustle itself was so thoughtful and blended incredibly into the lace on the back of my dress, adding to the look without disrupting the existing design, and it held all night. I have already recommended Anahit to other brides in the area.

I am so happy with my decision to choose Anahit for my wedding gown alterations! Anahit is very to the point, but for someone who is so indecisive like myself, I really valued her strong opinions! She will start cutting your dress during your first appointment, so just be prepared for that - it’s a good thing! When I came to pick up my dress, she walked my maid of honor through how to do the bustle and made sure we took videos. She told us the bustle would be secure, and she was right! It stayed all night and looked so beautiful. Anahit is so talented and I’m grateful to her for helping me look and feel my best!

Anahit is amazing! She made sure that every detail of my dress was perfect. She took the time to walk my maid of honor through the bustle so that we had no issues at all. Anahit was extremely professional, dedicated to her work, and made the experience excellent. If you bought your dress from Vows then I 100% recommend using Anahit for alterations.

She was amazing on every detail. Also working with us on a short schedule. She is the best!

Anahit is a magician when it comes to tailoring wedding dresses. She made my bustle beautiful, added in a special beading to the back of my dress, and completely hand-sewn a portion of the bust of my dress to make it more flattering. She helped make my wedding dress perfect. I would absolutely recommend Anahit!

Anahit is fantastic! She worked on my wedding dress for me, and not only did a beautiful bustle, but did some work on the shoulders for me as well. She is precise and to the point, and many will find this a good thing! She puts a lot of love into her work and it shows from the many positive reviews here. Her prices are fair and comparable. Would definitely recommend!

I have to admit.. reading some of the reviews on here made me afraid to meet Anahit. I was recommended by Vows to contact her as the other people I called on their recommended list turned me down when I told them my wedding was in 3 months and my dress was all sequins and beads. Honestly, I had a great experience with her. She was extremely organized despite being incredibly busy, set three dates for me to go and see her within the first phone call. When I first arrived, she was all smiles when greeting me. I can tell just from the way she talked about my dress, the materials, the layers, that she was very knowledgeable. I knew from the reviews Anahit would cut my dress at the first meeting, but she did ask first! She is also honest. She gave me suggestions on what she could do to make me happy, but also told me what she thought about what would look good, what would NOT be doable, and what would be a waste of money. For example, I asked if she could make my dress more fitted around the butt. She said she could, but it would require shortening the train from the material she'd have to cut off. I took her advice and chose to leave the dress as is. She also accommodated me wanting the boning on the bodice to show more and removed the thick opaque lining. She then told me there was no need to waste money paying for her to sew in cups if I already had my own sticky bras at home. When I went for my last fitting, she apologized that she had to charge me just a bit more than she anticipated due to the work she had to do to remove lining from the bodice, but it was still a totally reasonable price (I was again, nervous about this after reading some of the reviews, but I didn't feel like she was particularly expensive). She showed me why she couldn't shorten the straps any longer and where to use dress tape, as well as how to wear the sticky bra best. She can be blunt, for sure! She told me straight up, that my dress was definitely a better choice for girls with bigger busts (of which I have none of LOL!) but she also told me that other than that, the dress fit me like a glove.

She is so sweet and pleasant to work with (I know it couldn't have just been with me because I witnessed how accommodating and nice she was to the brides before and after me as well). I even joked with her, "Anahit, do you ever get any crazy brides in here?" and she said "No, just that some brides are particular about what they want and we have to communicate to get on the same page." I couldn't believe that with how busy she is that she really was still so empathetic towards all her customers. I think it's important to keep in mind that while your wedding day is a big deal, you should also treat her with respect and consideration, because she really does care about making sure you look beautiful on your big day. Make your appointment with her ASAP! Show up ON TIME! With your shoes ready to go (and with anything else she requests that you bring). Don't be afraid of her being blunt with you. And be prepared to pay with cash or check (there is also an ATM across the street).

Anahit - thank you so much! I will be recommending all my friends to go here.

I call Anahit the Dress Whisperer because she understands how different dresses flatter different bodies. She knew exactly what to do with my dress and bustle. I asked Anahit if she would make my veil and she designed it herself. She told me she hand-sewed the appliqués during quarantine! She is amazing to work with and I always refer my friends/family to her!

Anahit came recommended to me by Vows because of her ability to work well with lace, and she did not disappoint! My dress had lace appliqués at the bottom and would need to be hemmed, so Vows ordered the lace separately for me, and Anahit was able to sew it back on seamlessly. When my dress came in, the mid-section was more sheer than it had looked on the sample (I ordered ivory lining instead of the champagne on the sample), and I had asked her about adding more lining there. Anahit recommended that I hold off, as the lining would look heavy given the different beading that was there, and take away from the design. She said we could add it later if I changed my mind, but she was 100% right. I’m so glad she encouraged me to hold off on that change and that we didn’t add it!
Fair warning, she does cut the bottom of the dress on your first appointment, which I’d guess could be alarming, but I had read that in the reviews so was prepared and my dress came out the perfect length.
She did a wonderful job with the bustle, high up and lying flat. She strategically put the buttons on appliqués so you couldn’t even see them, and she showed my sister how to bustle and let her video the instructions (which I highly recommend). Make sure you move around when it’s bustled to see how it will lay while you’re dancing, which is different than when you’re standing still. She has a direct personality which I loved and appreciated. She’s a riot to talk to and so sweet! I’d highly recommend her, my dress came out perfect!
