    Beautiful and Reasonable Alterations!

    I am so thankful for Ally's Bridal! I needed a hem and bustle for my dress and she quoted a reasonable rate and really took care with my dress and it was perfect! Also, she has such a kind energy. Highly recommend her services!

    Wedding Gown Alterations

    Ally was recommended to me for wedding gown alterations. I brought her my Jenny Yoo gown and let her work her magic. My dress only needed minimal alterations. Over the course of 7 months I came to see Ally for fittings. She did such an amazing job on my dress, I was so happy with the result. She was professional, friendly and always helpful. Highly recommend Ally!

    Amazing, affordable alterations

    I can't say enough good things about Ally. Her prices are extremely reasonable - she charges a flat fee based on the complexity of the alterations and doesn't stop until they're perfect. When I first bought my dress, I went back and forth on it a lot, but I'm so glad I stuck with it and brought it to Ally. I got so many compliments on my dress, and many people said it looked like the dress was made for me!

    Ally is wonderful to work with

    She is kind, attentive and accommodating. She helped bustle my rehearsal dinner dress and completed the alterations for one of my bridesmaids back in February. She recently helped me figure out my wedding gown bustle, and was able to squeeze me in without much notice. I highly recommend Ally's Bridal!

    Beautiful Work

    I came to Allys in late August for my Wedding in November. Ally was a pleasure to work with. Although my dress did not need much for alterations, it did require some, and I felt very comfortable leaving it with Ally to fix the length and bust. Ally also created custom-made buttons from the material from the bottom of my dress to add a detail I really wanted on the back (which also doubled as my bustle). I would recommend anyone to go to her for any formal dress alterations. I really did love my dress, and it was perfect for my wedding day.

    Ally is a true magician!!!

    OMG Ally is a magician and was incredible with my wedding dress! She came highly recommended from friends who went to her and my dress didn't fit when I first tried it on so I was anxious. But she literally worked her magic to make it fit me PERFECTLY. And as I lost weight she kept fixing it and the hem took weeks and there were 7 bustles. It was so much work and she really did an incredible job to make my wedding dress exactly how I wanted it to look and for it to fit me perfectly. Ally did so much work to make it my dream dress and it was worth every penny!

    Beautiful work

    I highly recommend Ally for any wedding alterations! She is absolutely incredible, super detail oriented, and will help get you to the most perfect fit in your wedding dress. Ally created a seamless transition to two separates for my wedding gown. She created a sketch from the beginning and quoted on a reasonable price. With several fittings, she never increased the price and delivered the most beautiful results. She is flexible and will see you as many times before the dress is completed to get the best fit!

    I brought the sample dress I fell in love with to Ally Bridal. It was two sizes too big and had delicate embroidery, lace, and crystals all around the body of the dress. Ally contoured it to me perfectly and was helpful in figuring out how to make it a little more modest around the bustline. I was thrilled with the result, impressed with the flat pricing (no matter how many fittings you have, it's just one price), and ended up getting the perfect veil to match my dress at Ally's. I will be bringing all of my formal dress alterations to Ally in the future!

    Ally truly provides a wonderful bridal experience in a really lovely setting. My dress was a bit too big when I bought it, but the sheer panels and lace patterns made me worried that it would be difficult to tailor without changing the design. In the end, you'd never know any changes were made, and it fit like a glove. I didn't have a veil, and she was able to recommend a custom headband that matched perfectly. You have two options in Hoboken if you want to have your wedding dress altered; if you're looking for a beautiful setting and someone who clearly knows what she's doing, you should definitely go to Ally. The cost is slightly higher, but well worth the value and experience.

    Ally did the alterations on my dress for my September 2014 wedding. Working with her was very easy, everything was finished on time, and she did an awesome job. Her pricing is very reasonable, and she provides a flat fee for all alterations based on dress complexity—that was reassuring since it meant no hidden charges later. Like a lot of brides, I was worried about a bustle that looked bunchy and unflattering, but Ally suggested a beautiful alternative that worked perfectly with my dress. For anyone in NYC, Ally’s shop is easy to get to using the PATH—definitely worth the trip!

    Ally did an absolutely amazing job altering my wedding dress. She even made me detachable cap sleeves from the hem of my dress for the church ceremony. She also made me two veils and replaced the sash that came with my dress with a much more expensive fabric she happened to have in the store. Not only was her work impeccable, she talked me off the ledge when I started to second guess my choice in wedding gowns. My sister-in-law is getting married and I just took my bridesmaid gown to Ally for alterations. I won't go elsewhere. I highly recommend her.

    Yay to Ally! She took my dress down two sizes. Ally was wonderful. Friendly, receptive, and an expert. She listened to what I wanted and offered her expert advice in a gentle and genuine way. She really cares about how you feel and look in your wedding dress. She took her time with me and I truly appreciated what she did with my dress. The bustle was simple, but dramatic. My MOH had no problem doing the bustle the day of the event. During my first fitting I told Ally I planned on losing weight and may need some dramatic alterations. She simple said ok, I'll take it in about an inch and then during the next fitting we...

    Went to Ally's with just about a month to go before my 'big day'. She was able to adjust the length and re-sew my lacework so that you didn't even know it had been touched. She also took the dress in a few inches when I crash dieted 2 weeks before the event AND suggested sewing buttons down the back to hide the original zipper. The dress came out absolutely erfect! She was super nice and was always ready when I came in for my appointments. Loved the one-on-one attention! A++

    Sweetest Team and Most Talented Alterations!

    I absolutely adore Joon from Allys Bridal! She was so sweet and accommodating and her team is incredibly talented. I wanted an open back for my wedding gown so she worked with me over numerous appointments to ensure my vision came to life. We did have to make a small adjustment but she truly tried everything before conceding that a strap had to be added to keep the dress from falling off and, honestly, I appreciated her candor so much more! They really can do anything and Allys Bridal and I will absolutely be going back for any and all alterations. In fact, I sent my friend here for an alteration and they turned a former wedding guest gown into a sexy party dress for her birthday. Cannot recommend them enough!

    Exceptional Seamstress

    I reached out to Joon at Ally’s Bridal after my bridal boutique, where I brought my dress, recommended her. Before I even ordered my dresses, I asked Joon for her recommendations on sizing - she was incredibly responsive and kind and I knew I was off to a great start in working with her. Altering your dress and leaving it in someone else’s hands is stressful — but I trusted Joon from my very first appointment. Her keen sense of design, detailed eye and perfectionist working style was consistent. She was incredibly patient as we altered minor details of a dress I liked to make it a dress I LOVED! She answered all of my questions any time and...

    Ally is AMAZING, SUPER TALENTED! I bought my dress at RK Bridal in Manhattan, it was a few sizes too big by the time I needed to get it fitted and it looked all sloppy on me. Ally was patient and tweaked it in month by month, all at one flat price no matter how many times she needed to take it in. She was always so pleasant and liked to see my baby girl during my dress fittings, she made the experience feel so good. She made the dress fit me and my curves, it's so important to feel beautiful, sexy and confident on your special day and with her magic that is exactly how I felt. My...

    I just got married this past December 2017 and can’t say enough good things about Ally at Allys Bridal. I had bought my dress at Kleinfelds and Ally was able to do an amazing job with alterations every step of the way. Ally was so happy, nice and professional at each appointment and truly made my bridal experience a great one. My dress fit like a glove and was a very intricate style with a beautiful fully beaded corset top. Ally did a tremendous job and even helped to make a sheer shawl to match at my request. I’m so happy that I went to Ally and had an overall great experience. Definitely recommend!

    Ally is so talented. I tried on a dress that I liked, but envisioned a few different details for the back. She completely transformed the dress to make it feel like a custom gown, and it fit like a glove. She is so sweet and easy to work with as well. It's a small store but she carries a good variety of dresses. Would definitely recommend!!!

    I cannot say enough wonderful things about Ally and her services. First off, I had two very different dresses -- one was an off the rack Bohemian style BHLDN dress and one strapless heavy lace dress. They both needed to be shortened, taken out, straps needed to be moved, etc. A lot of work plus a custom fingertip lace veil - I got a great deal with exceptional service. Ally was patient, friendly and fast - I had to make some changes the week of the wedding and she didn't even blink an eye. Dresses were great and I was so happy. Thank you so much Ally!!! You are the best!

    I met with Ally 6 weeks before my wedding when I found out that the person who was supposed to alter my dress was not reliable. Most seamstresses were saying they need minimum 8 weeks to alter my wedding gown. I ordered my dress in RK Bridal and the dress was too big for me by at least 1 size. A lot of fabric had to be taken in. Ally did such amazing job making my dress fit absolutely perfect and was comfortable. She even added additional hooks on the back so the lace is not stretching too much which was a great idea. The bustle was done the way I wanted and it stayed perfect for the whole...

    I purchased my Theia wedding gown at Lovely Bride in NYC. They did not offer alterations and I was hoping to not have to travel into the city for various fittings. I found Ally's on Yelp and after reading many great reviews I gave her a call. She was friendly and accommodating from the start. Her hours made it easy to find times for fittings during the day or after work on my way home. My dress was made of a very heavy crepe fabric that might have been challenging to work with but Ally had no problem at all. I went for three fittings and each time I had the store all to myself and Ally's undivided attention....

    I brought my dress to Ally a little bit more than a month away from my wedding, knowing that the dress was sold to me way too small in the hip area. I was really worried about this, as the dress was pulling in the exact area I was self conscious about. Ally assured to me that there was enough room in the hips to let out. She also brought up the top half of the dress (since it was too large), and agreed to create a custom belt and veil for me. After that initial meeting, Ally worked tirelessly to help bring my vision of the dress to life. She reminded me why I loved the dress so...

    I would give Ally's 10 stars if Yelp let me! This lady is an absolute gem and lifesaver. I ordered my wedding gown from Ukraine and when it arrived it didn't fit in my hips (it is a mermaid gown and the narrower area in the hips was just a bit too small and so I couldn't pull it down all the way). I was so disappointed because the gown is absolutely stunning! I then found Ally who assured me that there is JUST enough room in each seam to let out so that it would fit. Nervous, I left it in her care. And what do you know! She was right! When I came back for my second...

    Ally is the BEST. She loves what she does, and it reflects in her work and attitude. My dress was a floor sample that I bought at a sample sale, so it was not in mint condition. Because it had be tried on by so many brides before me, the silk was worn down at the top and back of the bodice and it was also about four sizes too large. Ally worked her magic on this dress expertly, taking in the size difference and reshaping the worn silk on the bodice so it was as good as new. She also worked with me to create a custom veil for me that fit me and my dress, at a...
