Christy did not disappoint with the alterations of this dress. If you are searching for a place to get that done then let this be your sign! The shop is a gorgeous old building, they offer boutique items along with items a bride would love to have. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience here with her and if I could give more stars I would!

Wedding dress alteration

I took my wedding dress and a bridesmaid dress for alterations. They got me in super quick, and took time to ensure the dresses would be altered and fit the way I envisioned. Alterations were done super fast, and the dresses fit me perfectly!! Would definitely use them again!

Excellent Alterations

Urban Altered done a beautiful job on my wedding dress! I was wanting all my alterations to go unnoticeable from the original design and I was amazed! I knew what was done and I could not tell! Urban Altered also done alterations on my 2 flower girls dresses. The way my 2 little (4 year old and 2 year old) flower girls were treated was absolutely the sweetest thing! My 2 flower girls were treated like princesses and I was so truly grateful! If you need any alterations and want to be treated like a princess then Urban Altered is the place to go! Beautiful work and excellent people to work with! The shop also has some very beautiful and unique pieces to make whatever occasion extra special!! Thanks again Urban Altered I greatly appreciate you!

Best place for alterations!

Christy is the kindest person that I have ever met! She listed to exactly what I wanted and delivered just that! She is so creative and understanding and so patient! She made sure that I felt beautiful during our consultation and she made me feel even more beautiful in my final fitting. I will definitely be a returning customer for all of my alteration needs. Such an amazing woman and such a great store!
