Fantastic Service and Quality Alterations

I had the best experience with Sarah and Sodara at Dara Bridal. They are patient and answers all the questions and concerns I had the alterations to my dress. Both Sarah and Sodara are professional and made sure that every detail was looked to ensure the correct fit.

Highly recommended!

Excellent service!

Sodara and her team are all wonderful! They are professionals. They know how to make a dress fit perfectly! When I bought my dress it was too big and long. They took it in and hemmed it. It fit so well after they were done! I highly recommend them!

Dream team for customization

This was the best place that could have happened to me. I got so, so many compliments on my wedding dress. Basically every one of my guests told me how perfect my dress was on me, and so many of the compliments were because of the ADDITIONS recommended by the tailor (the custom back, the added lace on the sleeves, the petticoat underneath that added dimension to the skirt, the easy to carry skirt straps). Not only that, but this team is CRAZY fast and efficient. I had an inflexible timeline and they miraculously made it work. Everyone should go to this place for their dress alterations! I could not recommend anyone more!

The only place for alterations!

I can’t recommend Dara’s Bridal enough! She’s my go-to for all my alterations, from my special birthday gown to so many other dresses over the years. Her attention to detail, skill, and care always leave my outfits fitting perfectly and looking flawless. She’s truly the best at what she does, and every visit feels warm and welcoming. If you want your pieces to fit like they were made just for you, this is the place to go!

Highly Recommend!!

Sodara is absolutely wonderful to work with! I’ve trusted her with all of my bridesmaid dress alterations in the past, as well as my wedding dress, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the results each time.

She is kind and incredibly attentive to detail. She took the time to really listen to what I envisioned, while also offering thoughtful suggestions that enhanced the dress in ways I hadn’t considered. Her expertise is clear in every alteration she makes.

The quality of her work is exceptional. My wedding dress had a lot of lace and intricate beading and she did a flawless job! It fit perfectly and looked stunning.

I trust Sodara completely with every dress I bring to her, and I wholeheartedly recommend Dara Bridal Alterations!

Highly recommend!

I was a bride back in 2017, and Sodara helped me with my wedding dress to get it altered exactly how I wanted. The dress itself was intricate with fine beading, but Sodara was detail-orientated and precise with the alterations. At the time, I was living out of state and she was flexible to work with my schedule and timing for each fitting.

Since then, I've gotten a couple bridesmaid dresses altered by her with the same quality and flexibility, and will continue to do so. I refer her to anyone who needs alterations and each person is extremely satisfied with their dress.

Quick and easy!

Sondara was wonderful to work with. She was so sweet and helped me feel comfortable despite getting undressed at a stranger's house! She clearly has a lot of business -- people really trust her, and for good reason. She turned my dress from something that was too big and felt like a costume to MY wedding dress, which fit my body perfectly and made me feel beautiful. I'm not super familiar with pricing for alterations, but it seemed to be within the normal range. And she was able to do it in my short time frame!

Highly recommend!!

Highly suggest Dara alterations in eagan. I was losing weight/getting in shape until right before the wedding and she accommodated that. She took everything I said seriously and made it happen. She cared about making my dress fit perfect just as much (or even more than) I did.

Stunning alterations, she is a magician

Unreal seamstress. Amazing. Worked wonders on my dress. Worth every penny. She constructed a custom cape out of a veil I purchased from scratch, and she reworked my dress to work with my bust perfectly.

Wedding dress shopping is a weird thing where you pay a bunch of money for a dress that is the completely the wrong size for you in store and then don't see anything for MONTHS and then you pick it up and it still doesn't fit at all and you just kind of hope you still like it. I brought this heap of white fabric to Sodara and within a few minutes of pinning, I was relieved to find the dress I had imagined had reappeared. She then proceeded to create this incredible CAPE out of the matching veil I had purchased, just as my mom and I had dreamed up. From resizing detailed beading in the sleeves of my dress, to literally moving the bust of my dress to be more flattering, she worked wonders. Could not recommend enough.
