Wedding Alterations

Helga’s Bridal was fantastic. They were extremely professional, detail‑oriented, and delivered high‑quality alterations. They even tailored my rehearsal dinner dress during my wedding dress pickup appointment. Highly recommend their work!

Absolute Perfection!

She went above and beyond to alter my wedding dress and I could not recommend her more!! She is incredibly kind, talented, flexible, and dedicated to making sure you feel beautiful in your dress. She is a perfectionist and helped me think through different details as my dress needed some complicated alterations and executed them wonderfully. I was so happy with how my dress turned out—the quality of her work is incredible. She even went out of her way to help me design a custom veil for a separate Indian outfit for my wedding. Do not think twice about trusting her with your wedding dress!

Helga is the best!!!

Helga is THE BEST!!! She is so sweet and friendly. I came to her with a dress that fit okay and after many fittings she was able to make my dress fit like a glove!!! I received endless compliments on my dress including that it looked like it was made for me. Thank you Helga!!!

Impeccable Work!

Helga did an absolutely beautiful job altering my wedding dress! She was incredibly invested in making sure I got everything I wanted and never tried to push me in one direction or the other. Even though I had a few more alteration appointments than I expected, the alterations were incredibly affordable and impeccably done! I have never felt more beautiful!!!

My dress was stunning

Helga is a magician with needle and thread. She made me feel so beautiful in my dress. I really can't thank her enough for all the work she put into my dress. If you have a vision/a dream for your dress, she will make it happen! She used extra fabric/lace from my dress to make a removable cleavage panel.. truly a magician! I would give 10 stars if I could.

Frustrating

GET SOMEBODY ELSE TO DO IT! She charged me $250 to adjust the straps on a $35 dress! I informed her when I needed it by and she scheduled me a week before I needed it to make the alterations. She did not disclose to me that it would be considered a rush job until after the fact! When I mentioned that to her, her response was I never asked! What kind of customer service is that!? This was not even my wedding dress or gown! A regular dress that I wanted to wear to my bridal shower!
Business must be slow and now she’s scamming! Please Brides save yourself the stress!
