Absolute perfection!

I have taken the past few weeks to think about how to write this review because words cannot describe how amazingly wonderful Juliette is. Seriously.

I was looking for someone to alter my dress in early September, and stumbled upon Juliette on The Knot. I reached out, and she was super quick to respond and get me in asap with my wedding just two months away. As a plus sized bride, I was very nervous about alterations, but Juliette immediately put me so at ease. At every appointment, she made me feel like the most gorgeous bride ever, and without her I would not have felt like my best self on my big day. I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with my hair, so she picked out the most beautiful hair clip that I ended up wearing and definitely completed my look.

Juliette also essentially reconstructed one of my bridesmaid's dresses (I wish I had before and after photos because oh my goodness), and she altered my MOH's dress in two days because my MOH came in from NY about a week before the wedding. Her fees for all of us were super reasonable, and we were able to coordinate it so we picked all three dresses up at the same time.

I am so happy and grateful that Juliette is a part of my wedding story. Her warmth, her laughter, and her joy are infectious. She is a gem, and you would be crazy not to work with her!

Exceptionally Talented Seamstress

Juliette is so incredibly talented!!! She absolutely went above and beyond all expectations and I couldn't have been happier. You will not be disappointed working with her. She made the dress fit like a glove and created a stunning bustle. She also taught me great tips on how to walk, sit, and pick up the dress. She also gave me suggestions on what to buy for sticky bra pads and fashion tape for the shoulders to keep everything in place the day of. I really enjoyed working with her! She is so kind and talented and kept reminding me to just relax! If you want someone who is exceptionally experienced, gifted, professional and very kind, Juliette is your seamstress!

Wedding Dress Alterations

Juliette did such a great job on my dress! She made a few adjustments including removing an illusion back, taking out a couple layers of netting and removing the train. She clearly has a ton of experience and offered advice, but didn’t pressure me to make any changes and made it fit perfectly! She had it pressed before my second fitting at no extra cost to make sure I was comfortable walking in it as I had some trouble during my first fitting. Her pricing was very reasonable relative to the other two quotes I received. I would highly recommend her!

September 2024 Wedding

There’s a reason Juliette has won numerous wedding awards over the years - she’s a master of her work. I accompanied my friend to her own bridal fitting and saw how excellent Juliette’s work was, so when I got engaged, I knew exactly who I wanted to do my alterations. I purchased my first and flare dress from BHLDN, so it came off the rack a week after I ordered it and needed plenty of fabric taken off the hem, as well as a decent amount taken in around the behind. Juliette made it fit flawlessly. Her bustle also laid beautifully, and it stood up to a very big night of dancing! Don’t look any further than Juliette - I live north of Boston and it was worth every minute of rush hour traffic to get down to her in Mattapan!

The best there is!

Working with Juliette to alter my wedding dress was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding! Juliette works out of her home, and from the moment I met her I knew my dress was in good hands. The love and care she provides to her customers in unmatched. She was so honest with me about some of the asks that I had and whether or not they would work as expected, which I personally really appreciated. I looked forward to my appointments with Juliette as she is genuinely such a kind and funny human. On my wedding day, my dress fit perfectly, and the bustle on quite possible was the least complicated bustle ever created! Once I had my final pick-up for my dress, I was sad to say goodbye. I hope to have the opportunity to work with her again!

Perfect experience!

Out of all of the people I had worked with throughout the wedding planning process, Juliette was one of my favorites. I was nervous to trust just anyone with my wedding dress, but Juliette’s amazing reviews convinced me to book an appointment with her. The moment I met her, I knew I made the right choice! She immediately put me at ease with her extensive knowledge, honesty, and sense of humor, and I looked forward to every appointment with her. She made me fall in love with my dress all over again, making it fit perfectly and creating the most beautiful bustle out of a long, heavy train. I received so many compliments on how perfectly my dress fit and I can’t thank Juliette enough, I will be recommending her to everyone!

Juliette is the best out there!

I cannot recommend Juliette enough! My wedding dress arrived a lot larger than expected, but Juliette instantly put me at ease during a time that could have been very stressful. Her professionalism and expertise were evident as she offered insightful suggestions to enhance the dress's fit and overall design.

Upon pick up, the dress fit like a glove thanks to Juliette's meticulous attention to every detail. She went above and beyond and is highly organized to meet every bride's specific timeline.

If you're searching for a seamstress with unparalleled talent, professionalism, and a genuine passion for her craft, Juliette is your gal!

The best!

I cannot recommend Juliette enough! I found her after being quoted an outrageous amount on Newbury Street for simple alterations on my dress and I am so happy I did! Her work is truly amazing and she is so knowledgeable about wedding dresses. She altered my dress so it fit me like a glove perfectly. She also gave me the most AMAZING 17-point bustle because of my long train, and it was absolutely stunning. I got so many compliments on how good the dress looked and how amazing the bustle was. Not only is she super talented, but she was so great and friendly to work with. She taught me how to walk with flowers and where to hold them and how to sit in my dress. She also did my sisters MOH dress and dress could not have looked any better. I could not have asked for a better experience she is the best!!!!!

Thank you Juliette!!!

After my experience, I would trust Juliette with my firstborn child. Oh my gosh I feel so lucky to have found her. I got my dress from a bridal salon in the greater Boston area, and was told that "standard" alterations (hem, bustle, baaaasically nothing else) would be $795 and anything else would be charged as "custom". Juliette did all of the following: took in and shortened my illusion sleeves, hemmed, bustled, covered the plunge on my bodice with extra lace, added some lace to my open back, and, best of all, gave me complete peace of mind throughout the entire process. All of that was cheaper than the "standard" package would've been at the place I bought the dress from.

I had three fittings with Juliette and each one was a delight. I looked forward to seeing her every time, she's so kind and genuinely 100% cares about her "girls" and how we feel in the most important dress we'll ever wear!! Her advice was always on point and it is always backed by her experience but you still feel like you have complete control over the dress and how it will look. My cousin/MOH, who had been with me when I bought the dress, said she couldn't believe how much more stunning it looked once Juliette was finished with it.

I cannot recommend Juliette highly enough. Thank you thank you thank you Juliette, you are truly a godsend!
