Absolutely Exceptional Work

Larisa is an absolute pro at what she does! My dress needed extensive work and she not only executed her work perfectly, she did it with only one appointment! I feel absolutely stunning in my dress and am so happy with her work! Not only is she extremely mastered in her craft, she is an absolute joy to work with!!! I loved my experience and would highly recommend her for any bridal gown or dress alteration!

Amazing Workmanship!

Larisa is not only a lovely sweet person the quality of her work is amazing! She came to my rescue when my first dress was ruined by another shop and fixed my dress is record speed. We drove 3 hours each way twice to have Larisa fix my dress and it was worth every minute. It fit me perfectly and I felt like a princess! She is truly gifted.

Premier Wedding Dress Alterations

Working with Larisa took all the stress out of getting my wedding dress altered (and I'm really a perfectionist, so I was stressed). She was incredibly kind and professional, was able to work on a slightly shorter timeline, even accommodating a last minute change for me, and did FLAWLESS work. She is truly an expert on how your wedding dress is meant to fit your body, and what bustle style best complements your dress. She gave helpful advice on both, which I really appreciated, and I think the result was better and more elegant than if I had made the decision by myself. I feel so confident in my dress, and can't wait to wear it! Thank you Larisa!

Fabulous Alterations!

Larisa was wonderful to work with! I took a dress to her for alterations for my daughter’s wedding and I was thrilled with her work. She made wonderful suggestions for alterations including adding a bustle for more functionality. I highly recommend her!

So talented!

Larisa was wonderful to work with and she is very talented! My wedding gown had a lot of lace and she was able to make fit absolutely perfect. She also made the bustle super easy! I highly recommend Larisa with your wedding dress alteration needs.

Amazing and talented

Larisa is absolutely talented. I brought my wedding gown to get altered and the whole experience was perfect. She got the alterations done in only one fitting and it fit exactly how it was supposed to. Larisa also has a gorgeous selection of dresses, and even though I love my dress, I wish I would have know about her before and try some of her creations. I absolutely recommend Larisa Style, you will not be disappointed!

Excellent Alterations in the Triangle

I took my dress to Larisa for alterations and had a wonderful experience. Larisa was so kind and did an excellent job hemming my dress, adding a bustle, and taking in the bodice, despite the difficult material that my dress is made from. It looks possibly even more perfect than when I bought it. I am so excited to wear my dress on my special day. Larisa even gifted me a beautiful pair of earrings as a thank you gift for my wedding and I love them. Truly the entire experience was excellent from start to finish and I would recommend Larisa to anyone

Everyone needs to go to Larisa Style for all their tailoring needs!!


I brought my wedding dress to Larisa Style on September 11 for my December 11 wedding. I live 3 hours away and she assured me it would be done with only the initial fitting and ready for pick up in November. Larisa was not wrong. My dress fit absolutely perfectly when I went to pick it up in November. She moved up the lacing detail almost 6 inches from the bottom to fit my height, took the dress in in all the right places, and adjusted the lace straps to fit. It looked like the dress was originally made specifically for me and I felt absolutely beautiful. Everyone needs to go to Larisa Style for all their tailoring needs!!

She made my dress fit perfectly!

Larisa did an AMAZING job with my dress. All it took was one fitting appointment and about three months later, my dress was ready! I was so happy when I tried it on, it fit like a glove! The bustle she made for it is simple to put together and looks fabulous. The button detailing along the back zipper I requested to be added on looks so pretty and elegant.

Take your dress to Larisa and you won't be disappointed!
