Highly Recommend

I brought my BHLDN wedding dress to Widad and she did amazing work on it! She is so sweet and truly cares about you and your big day. My dress turned out beautifully, thanks to Widad’s passion and expertise. She offered her advice, while always making you a part of the decision-making process for alterations. My dress was ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS for my big day and I am so thankful I brought it to Widad!

I would highly recommend Widad because she does beautiful, quality work. She has been doing bridal alterations for many years and she did a beautiful job with my wedding dress. She worked with me based on my schedule for fittings and the end result is beautiful. She cares about quality right down to the tiniest details. I was hesitant to trust anyone to alter my dress but it was in the best hands with Widad. I would recommend her to any of my engaged friends who are looking for someone who does beautiful work.

I am thrilled about my experience working with Widad on my wedding gown alterations. From start to finish, I felt like I was in the hands of a fantastic seamstress. Widad is such a professional and performed a beautiful job. I had several requests for my dress such as:

- I wanted the sides of the gown by the hips tighter
- Needed a bustle
- Taken up in the front for walking room
- Needed to tighten the one-shoulder strap

I am fastidious (especially when it came to my wedding gown) but I felt at ease after my first meeting with Widad. Listening to how she spoke about all of my requests made me feel like she would execute the changes the best way possible. And I couldn't be more right. The first time I went back in after the alterations, I tried on the dress and it was a perfect fit. There was no need for further changes. At that point I couldn't be happier. During the same appointment, we talked about a veil and she agreed to create a custom silk veil for me to my exact specifications and in a color that matched my dress. Once completed I went back to try on the veil and again, perfection.

This past Saturday I finally picked up my dress and as promised it was pressed along with my veil and looking absolutely BEAUTIFUL! She had it hanging like a piece of artwork when I walked in and I cannot tell you how excited I felt.

I realize Widad sees many brides every week. But you would never know it. She truly cares about you, your wedding, and your dress as an individual. Her enthusiasm is genuine and that just added a special touch to everything. Overall, I had an A+ experience and I would recommend Widad to all of my friends and family knowing that she would not disappoint. Can't thank you enough for the beautiful job Widad. Thank you :)
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
