Flawless Wedding Dress Alterations
The team was so patient and meticulous, working with me until every last detail was flawless. My dress looked even more breathtaking after their expert tailoring - it truly completed the look and made all the difference.
Thank you so much to Sokayri for bringing my vision to life! I’m beyond happy I was able to work with such an experienced and talented team whose passion and skill clearly show in their work.

Highly recommend to other brides in need of alterations
Elena is extremely classy, and you can tell she cares deeply about her work. She spent an hour with me in the first meeting to pin the dress and go over everything in detail, and at the end, she gave me a thorough estimate and went over the pricing. About a month later, she was done, and I came back & she spent another hour with me to go over everything and make sure I was 100% satisfied.
As a side note, the space for the boutique is so cute, well-decorated, and tastefully done.
I would highly recommend Elena & her team to any bride looking for alterations. In other reviews, I have noticed people have commented about the pricing. I have no regrets on what I paid & working with Elena. She clearly prides herself in her work. Also, as I detailed above, I requested some complex changes to the dress, and those changes take a lot of time. Honestly, assuming it took someone 15 - 30 hours to do the changes, my total roughly translated to about $50/hr - $100/hr. Alterations are a skilled job, and they should be paid for their time. I think it’s reasonable to charge that for the work being done. Keep that in mind when you go into the process.
I highly recommend going here for your alterations! You will not regret it.

Highly recommend
Danilo was so lovely and talented, and guided me in the best ways. I had a lot of changes to my dress and you would have never known looking at the finished piece.
I am so grateful for my experience and wouldn’t trust anyone else with such a special event after working with them. This is the place to go!
