Fantastic Alterations

I went to Green and Blue for my wedding dress alterations, and they did a wonderful job. It was definitely an investment, but on par with other alterations places in the area. I went in for a consultation and two fittings, and by the end of it my dress (and all 5 layers of it!) fit like a glove. Thank you very much!

Highly Recommend!

We simply had the best experience at Green and Blue! I got my dress in New York City while living in D.C., and so made the call to have it altered in D.C. instead of at the studio where I purchased the dress in NYC. I was a little stressed about this decision because I knew that the designer had experience with my dress, and chose Green and Blue based off of reviews/a list of recommendations from the studio where I bought my dress. I ended up having the BEST experience with Green and Blue, and cannot recommend them enough! They were patient, skillful, kind, and accommodating. I built trust with them quickly and they fulfilled and delivered on every aspect of our experience. My one piece of feedback is that their floors were dirty, and so my dress got dirty when I was walking around the studio ensuring it fit/the alterations were correct. That being said, they then cleaned the dress for me and were super accommodating and kind!

Highly Recommend

I worked with Green & Blue Studio based on a recommendation from Lovely Bride DC (where I purchased my dress).
My dress needed minimum alterations (bustle, hemmed, and slightly taken in). They were able to complete all of this in one month. They were extremely professional the day we dropped it off. Worked quickly to ensure they had everything pinned to my liking, and even recommended a better pair of spanx.
The day we went to pick it up, it needed taken in a little bit more. We don't live super close to the area and didn't want to have to come back. They fixed this within the next two hours for us so that we didn't have to come back.

Highly recommend them for dress alterations!

Amazing work at a reasonable price! Fixed a rip in my dress when others said unfixable!


Green & Blue studio completely knocked it out the park with my dress! I bought an off the rack couture gown that had a small tear in it. It turned out to be a huge problem and I had been told by another tailor that my dress was basically unfixable. Another tailor quoted me over $1,500 for the fix. I came to Green & Blue and they listened to me and came up with a solution of patching the dress and covering it with beadwork from my mother’s dress (which I wanted incorporate anyway). They were much more reasonable in price than the other tailor’s quote! I also was concerned that my dress would be falling down all night because it was strapless. They put in a sort of bra-type belt inside the dress for extra support and I danced the entire night away without worrying about it! They were super easy to work with and listening to all my concerns; reasonably priced; convenient location. Of course, the dress fit like a glove and looked gorgeous. I’m SO glad I went to Green & Blue and would recommend to anyone in the area!

Wedding dress alterations

The studio did a wonderful job with alterations on my daughter’s dress. Everyone was kind and helpful. With the pandemic our plans changed a few times & the studio was so helpful and flexible. THE BEST EXPERIENCE.

Amazing - would use again!

Truly expert tailors that I trusted the entire time with my dress. I had a simple dress and was in and out of there in 30 minutes for every visit. They also have a cleaning service that I recommend.

Highly Recommend!

I chose Green and Blue Studio for my wedding dress alterations and I am so happy I did! I brought in my BHLDN dress and they were able to complete alterations and the bustle in my desired timeline (three months). The bustle was very well-done and looked perfect. My friend came with me to the final fitting for a quick tutorial on how to do the bustle, making it a quick and seamless process on my wedding day. The studio also has a steaming option add-on that made the day of my wedding so much easier/stress-free. From start to finish, my experience with Green and Blue Studio was fantastic. They were efficient, talented, and responsive - truly experts in this field! Wedding dress preservation is also offered. All in all, you are paying for quality work and I would recommend their services to anyone.

Amazing seamstresses

I unwittingly bought a size 14 dress when I am a size 4, so my alterations ended up being a big job! Luckily, the seamstresses as Green & Blue were up to the task and made the dress look really natural (though not without doing a good bit of "dress surgery"). They even squeezed me in for a last minute appointment the week of the wedding when I decided I wanted it to be a little bit tighter. So grateful for their wonderful work!

Beautiful Work!

Green and Blue Studio was easy to work with, a pleasant environment, and an overall great experience! I bought my dress off the rack and needed to get it altered to fit as well as have the belt attached. They listened to all my concerns and thoughts and had great input as well! It was clear that everyone there knew what they were doing! I needed only two fitting appointments and then was good to go! I was so happy with my dress and glad I went with Green and Blue Studio for alterations!

Genius alterations!

I purchased my dress from a bridal salon in Richmond, VA (so that I could go wedding dress shopping with my parents) - but, as an Alexandria local, I didn't want to have to drive back & forth to Richmond for alterations. My friend recommended Green & Blue studio for my dress fitting - and I am so glad that she did!

It's a beautiful studio in Dupont Circle - and, the team there is SO talented. They were able to make my slightly too-big dress fit like a dream - and everything was done within 2 appointments. They offered steaming services - so, when I picked my dress up 2 days before the wedding, everything looked perfect. Their prices were very fair, they recommended the right undergarments for my dress, and they had very convenient appointment times.
