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!
