Olena is a miracle worker.

I highly recommend Olena. She did an excellent job on my wedding dress, which has tons of layers. Olena also made suggestions I wouldn't have thought of, like making my straps removable instead of taking them off altogether. And when I picked up the dress, she made sure I was happy with everything and that I was comfortable with the alterations (I was. she did a phenomenal job!)

To top it all off, she was able to get the job done quickly and at a fair price. I ended up sending all of my bridesmaids to her, and plan to use her for alterations in the future. If you're on the fence about seamstresses, don't hesitate to pay her a visit!

Perfect Fit

Olena did an incredible job making my wedding dress fit perfect! She was super responsive and easy to work with. My dress needed a hem, bustle and to be taken in the waist all of which Olena did beautifully. Will be returning for bridesmaid dresses in the future!

Added French bustle

Olena added a French bustle to my wedding dress and it was absolutely beautiful! She is very knowledgeable and thorough during the consultation and had it completed in a few weeks! I felt she was very reasonably priced as well.

Great experience!

She really made me look like Cinderella with my dress. It was a very expensive dress and I was not going to trust it to just any seamstress. She altered it as well as the dress maker himself could have.

Olena is an incredible seamstress!

Olena is an incredible seamstress. When I first arrived, I was a bit taken aback because I had expected a store, not a home. But rest assured, you’re in the right place when you find yourself at her house. She quickly led me upstairs to try on my dress, wasting no time at all. At first, I felt a little unsure, but with so many positive reviews, I knew there had to be a reason for the praise. By my second, third, and fourth appointments, I came to truly appreciate what initially made me hesitant. Olena is efficient, direct, and most importantly, she makes your dress fit like a glove!
