Due to time constraints, I had to buy a dress off the rack. My options felt limited, and I ended up with a floor model that was missing a button, had general wear and tear and was a size too big, I didn't have "the one" feeling but I liked the dress enough to take a chance on it.

Adding another layer of complexity, I lost 40 pounds between my initial consultation and my wedding day. Thankfully, Gemma was an absolute miracle worker. She ended up taking the dress in 10 inches total and replaced the original boning with a sturdier option to accommodate my chest size. She accommodated me with multiple fittings close to the date to make sure the dress fit perfectly. You couldn't even tell the dress had been altered or was a floor model, that's how amazing Gemma is. I was so happy with how the dress turned out and at my last fitting with her I finally had my "the one" moment – complete with happy tears!

Gemma and her team are incredible! Gemma a kind person with a bubbly personality. She made me smile every time I saw her and we always had wonderful conversations. Her staff and store are very welcoming and professional, always clean.

My bridal situation was very unusual. I live abroad and was going to have my wedding abroad, which meant I only could see Gemma when I visited the United States. Many brides would be incredibly stressed about this situation, but Gemma was truly my hero! She was very patient with me, very good about communication via email and was very understanding of my situation. She always made me feel comfortable and taken care of, and that I could trust her with my dress.

In the end, my dress came out gorgeous. Gemma and her team pay attention to detail. I had beads and floral patterns that probably weren't easy to alter, but they did it, and they did it wonderfully! My dress was truly a dream.

I recommend Gemma's Bridal Alterations, not just because of the phenomenal work that they do, but because of the person that Gemma is. If you want someone who knows what they are doing, has a lot of experience AND is a good human, Gemma is the person for you!

Gemma and her team are incredibly talented and responsive! Gemma created the dress of my dreams with custom alterations which included removing a long train from a silk dress, adding boning for support of a strapless dress and removing lots of unnecessary material from underneath. I felt very secure in my strapless dress because Gemma heard my fears and concerns and made it bust-proof!
