This woman is a magician.

My wedding dress had a bodice completely covered in elaborate beading, that needed to be taken in on the sides and the neckline altered. I was so nervous that the beading pattern wouldn't look right after it was altered. And I only had a couple of months to get the alterations done by my wedding day! Yan Yan did such a great job meticulously altering the bodice that it looked like it hadn't been altered at all, but somehow just magically fit perfectly now. And she got it done in plenty of time, too.

Hire this woman!

I had many awesome vendors but Yanyan was unquestionably my best hire! I would give her ten stars if I could. Her tailoring was incredible, meticulous and she put so much work into my gown... she whittled a size eight Carolina Herrera gown I bought on eBay down to my size zero and it fit like a glove. I am taking all my tailoring to her from now on and telling everyone I can how great she is!

My Alterations Life Saver

YanYan was a god send. My previous seamstress had gone on an impromptu vacation and did not tell me until the dress had arrived 2 months before my wedding. Thankfully she was able to recommend YanYan for the alterations.

YanYan was very affordable, and did an excellent job. She was always available for questions and was very accommodating to my crazy schedule.

I would definitely recommend her to all my friends and family.

Yanyan is AMAZING. I brought my wedding dress to her after my initial seamstress couldn't finish the alterations. Yanyan fixed everything that the initial seamstress messed up on and took her time to make sure everything was perfect. Her attention to detail and workmanship is amazing. She went above and beyond to make my wedding dress fit perfectly. I went back a couple times for fittings as she was going through the alteration process to make sure everything was going smoothly, and I really appreciated that. I also ended up bringing my MOH dress to her as well as the initial seamstress also messed that up. She fixed everything in a timely manner and I couldn't have been more happy to have her do all the alterations. I will definitely go back to her if I need any more alterations! She also has a bridal shop in manassas (Jeanette Bridal) so I definitely recommend checking it out as well!

I will never ever use any other person for alterations on my clothing! YanYan is beyond perfect!!! So accommodating of our work schedule. I am plus and she has done an amazing job with not only my wedding dress, but my reception dress as well. I brought in my reception dress for her to fix at the last minute and she made it loo better than the original. She even helped me get undergarments for my dresses as well! LOVE HER! Thank you so very much YanYan!
