The best in the business!

Laura’s Couture was recommended to me by my wedding planner and I’m so glad I chose them! My dress needed a lot of alterations (tightening the straps, reducing the cup sizes, letting out the hips, hemming, and adding a bustle) and it was beaded from top to bottom. Everything was executed to perfection! They were so professional and helpful at each fitting. They even went above and beyond to help my sister (and matron of honor) whose dress was so poorly hemmed by a different tailor. It was a week before my wedding and they fixed the hem within hours! Truly a remarkable team!

She is magic!

I came to Laura in a rush as my dress needed alterations one week prior to my wedding day! She went above and beyond to put me at ease and work her magic! My dress turned out beautiful and it wouldn't have been possible if it wasn't for her hard work! Thank you!!

Attention to detail with your wedding dress!

Laura’s couture did amazing work on my wedding dress. The front of my dress needed extra length and no one would know of the addition. They matched the lace so beautifully. They spent time teaching my MOH the bustle. On my wedding day, my dress fit to a T.

Restored my family heirloom dress!

Wearing my family dress (both my mother's and my grandmother's, an original Alfred Angelo from the 1950s) was my lifelong dream, but when my mom and I un-boxed it shortly after my engagement, I almost lost hope upon realizing how much work it needed.
I took it to a few different places in Houston, getting responses like "I can take the entire thing apart and try to make a new dress" and "I could do it for three times your budget," before I found Laura Couture and Alterations. The first time I took my dress in, Karime helped me believe for the first time that it was both possible, and affordable.
Not only did she restore it -- including delicate lace and a horsehair-supported peplum -- she altered it in a way keeping with my personality and vision: taking off the sleeves, cutting down the neckline to be something more comfortable and flattering, and adding boning and cups for support. Karime's alterations made my dress feel like *mine,* and it was so beautiful (and functional) for my big day! I am so, so grateful to Laura Couture and Alterations and so impressed by their work.

Laura’s Couture and Alterations was absolutely AMAZING to work with! Her team transformed my sample Galia Lahav Gown from Ivory Bridal Atelier into an unforgettable sight. I picked a Galia Lahav dress, “Odette” but wanted the “Ms. Elle” gown by the same designer. However, due to my budget I could not. I took my Odette gown to their alteration boutique and they transformed my dress into the most beautiful wedding dress I had ever seen and I couldn’t tell the difference between the Ms. Elle and the oroginal Odette I had purchased. In my first photo, it shows a model wearing Ms. Elle, then what my original dress looked like (Odette) and finally with the added lace and newly placed straps and even new sheer where there was a hole, my dress as a finished product followed by other photos of me in it

Laura’s Couture & Alterations saved my wedding dress! I wish I had gone with them from the start, but I live in San Antonio and had travelled to Houston to buy my dress from BHLDN. I figured I would get it tailored in San Antonio to save myself the trip to Houston. In spite of good reviews on Yelp (including for wedding dresses), my seamstress in San Antonio couldn’t figure out how to bustle my tulle dress (she even suggested cutting off the train!) and also managed to screw a few things up with the dress. Two weeks before my wedding I got my dress back from her and called BHLDN very worried to see if they had any recommendations. They referred me to Laura’s Couture & Alterations, and they were able to squeeze me in about 10 days before the wedding! It was so worth the trip, and they finished everything in such a short time frame. They even managed to fix the mistakes my previous seamstress made and beautifully bustled the dress. They saved my dress, and I would highly recommend them!

They were so kind, professional, and helpful. The work they did on my dress was perfect and it fit just right for the wedding. I got so many complements on the bustle, and could not have asked for anyone better or a better fit. Thanks!

THESE GUYS ARE ABSOLUTE MIRACLE WORKERS. I lost 50 lbs before my wedding, and my size 12/14 dress had to be taken in 8 inches!! I was so afraid that I was going to have to end up purchasing a new dress. But nope! This place did such an absolutely wonderful job altering the gown. It is absolutely stunning and I could not have asked for anything more. If you are looking for the best place to get your gown altered, a place that you can truly trust, take it to Laura's Couture!

Laura's Couture & Alterations did a fabulous job altering my wedding dress. They are clearly extremely knowledgeable regarding wedding dress alterations. They were confident in the work that needed to be done to the dress and were able to convince me to do all of the right things when I was a little unsure (ex: how tight to make the strapless dress, how long to make the dress so I could walk but it still skimmed the ground). The dress worked out perfectly. I was super comfortable and was able to dance all night. I got so many compliments on the dress and it was in big part because Laura's did such a great job making sure it fit me perfectly. They were really expensive, but worth every penny.

One of our favorite seamstress, Karime is very talented. She makes incredible bustles and remember your dress will be bustled for 90% of your event so you want it to look as beautiful if not prettier bustled.
