Loyce is an absolute master of her craft and a true gem to work with! Flying in to have Loyce alter my wedding dress was, hands down, the best decision I made. Her meticulous attention to detail, wealth of experience, and warm personality made the entire process not only stress-free but truly enjoyable. Loyce's expertise sparkled through in every aspect--from the flawless bustle that looked so stunning, no one even remembered to unbustle it, to the custom bra strap that made my dress fit perfectly like it was made just for me. If you're looking for someone to trust with such an important decision, look no further than Loyce--she's simply the best!

Ms. Loyce at Grace Bridal Couture is incredible. We had a short engagement period and a cross-country wedding. Throughout the wedding planning process, my dress fittings with Ms. Loyce were my favorite part. It felt like the stresses of wedding planning would melt away for the hour I was with her.

Ms. Loyce cares so much about each of her brides. She takes pride in the work she does and wants each bride to look and feel beautiful and incredible. She puts so much time, care, and effort into her work.

Ms. Loyce fitted my dress and made a gorgeous yoke for my strapless wedding gown from BHLDN. She even added the sweetest details to the dress - it felt so special. Ms. Loyce also made a custom veil, to match my dress perfectly. She not only altered my dress, but was a true design consultant for other things I needed - how to I wear my veil? What style veil? How to I transport my wedding dress cross-country in the best way?

She also gave such thoughtful and sweet advice to my fiance and I about things that would help our wedding day be that much more special.

Ms. Loyce cares about each of her brides and gives incredible attention to each one. I'm so grateful for her.

As clearly demonstrated by all the other reviewers, Loyce is very skilled at her craft! She did an excellent job at altering my dress! It was a very detailed Martina Liana dress with lots of beading and after she was done with it, you couldn't even tell it was altered : ) The dress had to be taken down atleast 2 sizes as well, which I was very concerned about and Loyce was able to do it without issue. She definitely knows what she is doing! She also thought of a creative way to include additional lace on the dress where needed due to alterations.
I first contacted Loyce when I thought about having a dress made. Long story short, she gave me all the pros and cons of customized dress making and in addition gave me a long list of other dress shops that I should check out.  When I felt I had found "the" dress, she drove over a hour to meet me at the shop and look at the dress with me.  This gave me so much relief knowing that the dress I was purchasing was seen in person by the artist who would be altering it. Loyce was there to let me know that she could make any changes to the dress. I've heard horror stories of brides being told one thing at the bridal store about a dress potential for alterations and then they take it to a seamstress and its a different story.  Loyce even impressed the bridal store owner with all of her knowledge! From that point forward, Loyce not only became my alterations designer but my consultant! I was able to get her advice on a myriad of things including an issue I had with a veil I purchased and input about the mother-of-bride dress which was being made out of state. Loyce would offer me different tidbits regarding wedding related items and we would converse about our general daily happenings as well. It was because of her I actually decided against a blusher, and I am happy I did : )   She gives you different things to think about and also genuinely cares about you as person, not just a client! Her charismatic personality and love for her career is what draws people to her. She is a jokester but a sweetheart at the same time...lol.  I am so glad that I came across her on yelp and forged a relationship with this talented artist! 
I felt absolutely gorgeous on my wedding day and this was in big part to Loyce making my dress fit right! Thanks Loyce! 

Loyce is absolutely amazing at transforming a dress! She starts three months out from your date, works with your schedule to create all the fitting dates, and guides you throughout the whole process providing different options and suggestions on how to make it THE dress.

My ceremony dress was originally strapless and we ended up adding sleeves to give more support. I was super indecisive the whole way on what to do and Loyce was always patient and provided different options and looks, cutting and pinning the fabric on me different ways during the fittings! In the end, Loyce was able to create beautiful illusion sleeves! Loyce also used the bottom parts of the dress to bring the back line higher and pulled in the dress to make the mermaid style more defined. No one could tell that we changed the style of the dress! Loyce also made my veil at no extra cost!

My reception dress needed alterations on the straps, neckline, and bottom. Loyce also made the slit higher and added a string (wrist loop?) at the train so I could hold the train up on my wrist while dancing. After the wedding, Loyce cut the train off at no charge so I can wear it again.

Loyce is super patient (I tried on many belts, veils, and undergarments during fittings to see what would go best and I never felt rushed at any of them!), organized, detail-oriented, professional, honest, and fun! Her prices are also very reasonable. Brides, if you're looking for special alterations and customizations, Loyce is it! Also, make sure to plan ahead because she books way in advance!

Loyce was an absolute angel from day 1 - she helped to make my vision a reality and was such a joy to work with. She is extremely talented and detailed and only takes on so many brides a year as she does all of the work herself. I reached out to her as soon as I got my dress as she came so highly recommended. We had a great time at every fitting and I felt amazing because of her on my wedding day.

One of my goals for my wedding was to minimize the stress of planning. I was lucky enough to have my dress tailored by Loyce, who definitely relieved my anxiety regarding how I would look on the day-of.

I bought my dress with some hesitation due to its untraditional style, but after working with Loyce and seeing the final product, I felt confident and beautiful. As others have noted, she is quite busy, so I'd recommend reaching out to her as soon as possible.

Loyce is flexible and a great communicator (very important during wedding planning!). She also created a lovely veil for me.

If you don't pick Grace Bridal Couture to handle your gown, you are making a grave mistake. Loyce is wonderful- both in her work and as a person.

If you want an experience that does your dress and your dream wedding justice, then she's your gal. Working with her is not a rush in- rush out situation. It's an experience.

Loyce gets to know her brides (and their mamas) and crafts something that fits and exceeds expectations.

Reworking a vintage gown? She's a pro at honoring the past but making sure you're not showing up ready for the Renaissance Faire in grandma's gown. Custom dress? She's there (at your wedding, too) with bells on.. making sure her creation does you justice on the big day. Need alterations? You'll wish she did one of the first two options because her work is better than anything off a hanger. Not to mention the company!

Someone should give this woman a talk show. Think: Delilah - meets Oprah - meets your mom (on her best mom day.) She's got great advice, calls it like she sees it, and a listening ear... wielding whichever one is needed at the moment.

You'll walk out of every appointment feeling better than you did coming in. In fact, fire your therapist and put your feet up on HER couch to talk it out. (It's been done)

I hope you can get an appointment, because if you can, it'll be the best decision you've made since saying, 'yes.'

Oh, and I suggest bringing a bottle of bubbly with you. It matches her personality- and its her favorite. I'd say good luck, but you won't need it. You'll be in capable and excellent hands!

When you have so many things to do for your wedding the best thing is to have someone you can completely trust to do a great job and Loyce is just that! I looked into going to a big chain store for alterations, but they have so many different people you never know who exactly is going to do YOUR dress. With Loyce, you know she's the best in the business and she's the one person who will work with you. I didn't have a ton to do, but she found a great solution to a material on my dress that was irritating my skin so that I didn't look red on my wedding day. I'm not a huge dress person, but I knew it was the one thing besides hair/makeup that everyone would see all day, so I wanted to look nice and be myself. And she was so down to earth and easy to work with it made the whole process so enjoyable. She was so patient, too, in trying to make the straps of my dress just unique enough without being over the top and turned my big-store dress into something totally unique and me. Genuinely, would not hesitate for a second to recommend Loyce and Grace Bridal Couture, whether small or large alterations to your dress. She's clearly been doing this for so long and has the whole system down pat - telling you when your appointments will be and how to make sure it'll be done on time. She's the best!

I absolutely loved working with Loyce! I contacted her in January for a June wedding, and she easily accommodated my schedule. My dress did not require major alterations (some hemming and taking in on the sides), but Loyce went above and beyond and offered wonderful advice as far as ways I could "complete" the dress (adding a belt, pairing with a longer veil, etc). Her price was completely reasonable, and she had the dress ready well before the date. I highly recommend Grace Bridal Couture!

Plain and simple, Loyce is the best. She was calm, honest, and gave great advice in addition to doing an amazing job with the alterations. She made sure I never worried and was a great communicator and I ended up with the dress of my dreams and a worry-free process! I cannot recommend Loyce enough.
