Brought my wedding dress to life!

I would like to say thank you to Smart Dress Making! They took my wedding dress & made it my dream come true. I already loved my dress from the start, but they were able to make the small adjustments that made me feel like an absolute princess. Thank you to the ladies of Smart Dress Making!

I made an appointment with Jenny at Smart Dressmaking with the recommendation of fellow Yelpers. I was a little worried because I needed my wedding dress altered. It's such a big investment and a day where everyone's eyes are on you, I needed to feel confident with whoever took on this job. My mom is a sewer and she did not want to take on such a job, my dress was a ballgown style with 9 layers and a long train. It was a tough project!!

I went in and the shop is small, there's 2 or 3 dressing rooms but Jenny greets her customers like she's your super sweet Aunt. She is so nice but will also tell you straight up what she thinks of you in the dress and what changes she recommends. I think after leaving my dress with Jenny, I had 2 or 3 more fittings before I took the dress home. Jenny and her team is QUICK! There were extra fittings because I had little alterations I asked for each time and every time I came back, the dress felt more and more like me.

The whole job was a little more expensive that I wanted to pay, but her work was AMAZING, totally worth it. (She put in a bustle, took out the right side of the dress, and hemmed it to perfect length with my heels) I got so many compliments on my dress on the day of!! Thank you so much, Jenny!

After finding this shop on Yelp and using them for a bridesmaid dress alteration awhile back, I got my wedding dress alterations done by Ann, a little woman that (I presume) owns this shop.

For the bridesmaid dress, she added boning to a cheap strapless dress to help it stand on its own and not slink down during the wedding. The quality was great and it cost about $20.

I heard she had good prices on wedding dress alterations too, so this is where I brought my dress -- a sweetheart Oleg Cassini CRL277 lace mermaid dress with scalloped hemline. The entire process was super easy and I consider the price a great value compared to what bridal studios charge.

I went in and she pinned me up from head to toe, bringing in the bust, hips, thighs (to keep the mermaid shape) and length. For the hem, she had to remove the lace scallop, chop off about 6 inches of dress, and reattach the scallop. She also added a three-point bustle. The final result fit me well and cost just $150.

CON: I went in two weeks after the first fitting to try on the dress, when she told me to, for the second fitting. But the dress wasn't ready yet! Luckily I live close by and it wasn't too much out of my way. I went in again a couple days later and the dress was ready and good enough for me to take home that day.

All in all, I would definitely recommend this place to a friend because of the great prices. Just call before picking up your dress to make sure it's ready.
