    Highly recommend Beatrice for wedding dress alterations!

    Highly recommend Beatrice for wedding dress alterations!! Beatrice was highly accommodating nonstop through the process. She won’t stop until you get exactly what you want. She makes sure you are TRULY satisfied, making suggestions based on her vast knowledge and skills, but making sure to get it just right for your vision. She is so talented.

    Fast, Reliable & Skilled!

    Beatrice did an AMAZING job altering my dress! I ordered my dress online for my COVID micro wedding and it came in WAY too tight. I called Beatrice less than a month before my wedding and she was able to let out the dress and make it look absolutely perfect for my day. She saw me weekly for fittings at times that were convenient for me- she was incredible! Thank you Beatrice!

    Exceptional Business

    I want to thank Beatrice at Alterations and Veils for all of her hard work and putting up with me weeks before my wedding! I was on a time crunch from the day I purchased my wedding dress to the day of my wedding. I called several places in town and not one place I called could work with my time line so you can imagine my joy when Beatrice said she would help me and not to worry, "just come right in" is what she said. My husband is in the military and it was very important that my dress be altered in time since he would only be in town the weekend of the wedding! Beatrice was prompt, thorough, and a perfectionist! I was literally in tears the day of my pre fitting, my dress looked gorgeous and all I wanted was for it to be perfect on my wedding day. As we started talking about my veil (which I had not purchased yet), Beatrice said that she could actually custom make a veil to match my dress. I wasn't aware her talent extended beyond just alterations. She showed me custom dresses and veils that she had actually made and it really made me happy knowing I chose her business. After a few weeks, I had my final fitting along with my new custom veil and I couldn't be happier with the results! After my wedding and everything was settled, I took my dress back to Beatrice and she had it preserved for me. It's now in a beautiful box where I can admire it for years to come. Thank You so much Beatrice for all your hard work and getting my dress and veil done in time for my big day. I highly recommend Beatrice, her expertise is unmatched in the Austin area.

    Beatrice is awesome!

    I bought my dress and it didn’t fit, at all. I took it to Beatrice with several months before my wedding and she assured me she could make it work.

    Beatrice let me come for several fittings, and was always a joy to be around! My dress turned out better than I could have imagined. She added a pocket (!!!) for me, AND it fits!!!

    We had to reschedule our May reception due to COVID, but I wore my dress for our wedding ceremony and am so excited I get to wear it a second time in October. Beatrice rocks!!!

    Thank you so much, all fitting were fun you had lots of work and beading and adding and lots of smiles too, that keep me going like the Energizer Bunny LOL !!

    Talented, Detailed, Accomplished and Accommodating!

    Beatrice is amazing. I did my homework and made multiple calls before coming to her with my dress and alteration needs. She is a busy woman, and for good reason! She still made time for me to be incredibly kind, patient and thorough to discuss a plan for altering my dress to make it perfect for my big day. She has been very communicative, compromising and accommodating through every step of the process, and I see her as a true friend now while getting to know here through every step! I can't wait to get married to the love of my life, in this beautiful dress that fits me like a glove. I very highly recommend going to Beatrice!! If I could give 10 stars I would! A+++

    Best in Austin!

    Beatrice is AMAZING at what she does. Long story short, I had a custom made, very expensive wedding dress, that when it arrived, was entirely a poor fit. The torso was too short, the back was too high, etc. It was a nightmare. Beatrice was able to work with the store and designer from which I ordered my dress in order to get more fabric so that she could work her magic. Beatrice worked with me almost right up until the day of the wedding to make sure the dress was perfect. My dress had so many details and a corset on the inside. Beatrice was able to make it perfect. She was also able to open up the back of the dress, as I really wanted a deeper back. Without Beatrice, I would've been disappointed with how my dress looked. Beatrice always made me feel like a beautiful princess when I was in her studio. I owe her a million thanks for making my dream dress a reality! PS- Her husband is also a sweetheart and was able to deliver my dress to the hotel on my wedding day

    Thank you very much for trusting me with your expense gown and your amazing review. working with you is a steam-stress desire

    Perfect Vision!!!

    My sisters and I have been with Beatrice since 2010. Every dress has been beautifully made. She knows exactly what we want before we even open our mouths! She can Invision what is needed to make the dress fit and to fit beautifully. I wouldn't recommend anyone else. Fair pricing and understanding. I don't have photos at the moment but will try to post some later. She is amazing!!!!!!

    Bippity Boppity Beatrice!!

    Beatrice was my fairy godmother, she not only created a wedding dress that went beyond the dress of my dreams, but she also crafted an exquisite custom design on my daughter's flower girl dress using the appliques from my own dress alterations. She was a dream to work with, she was always prompt to respond, was extremely knowledgable and an expert in her field, and truly listened to all of my concerns. Though she had dozens of dresses in her shop and tons of clients, she made me feel like I was her only customer and that my dress was just as important to her as it was to me. There are a lot of alterations options in central Texas but if your gown is extremely important to you and you are looking for quality work crafted by a professional with over 30 years of experience, there is only one Beatrice!

    Consultation/Alterations

    I had my consultation with Beatrice last weekend and I couldn’t agree more with all 5 stars for her service. I was orginally suppose to receive my dress in the beginning of December but as usual things don’t go as planned and my dress showed up late. I text Beatrice on the Dec 28th and she immediately got me in the next day for a consultation. When I arrived at her studio everything was so clean and smelled wonderful. She was very detailed regarding what services she recommended for me and offered me options instead of forcing her opinion on me like most seamstress. I loved her work and can’t wait to see the final product of my dress!! Schedule with Beatrice TODAY! :)

    Beatrice was so much fun to work with! I always loved my appointments with her. She is so kind and funny. She also is the best at what she does! I bought a sample wedding dress off the shelf at an upscale bridal boutique, but it was way too big for me. I brought it to Beatrice around 7 weeks before the wedding. The dress had a lot of lace and detail so I wasn't sure how anyone was going to alter it for me. Beatrice made me feel so confident and comfortable that my dress would be perfect and done on time. And it was! Everyone gave me so many compliments on how well my dress fit. I want to get another dress altered just so I can visit her again!

    Beatrice made getting my wedding dress possible with an almost impossible timeline. She works around your schedule and does an OUTSTANDING job! My dress was big and complicated and she got it done with flawlessness. I would recommend her to every bride who wants their wedding dress to be perfect on their day.

    I can not say enough good things about Beatrice! Seriously her work is incredible and she literally saved my wedding dress. I live in Switzerland and had bought my dress in NYC, and had it tailored in PA near my parents house. Long story short I had a terrible experience getting my dress altered and by the time my mom brought it down to our destination wedding in Austin, it was a complete mess. My mom found Beatrice online and we immediately went to see her when we got to Austin. In one day she was able to completely fix my dress. We dropped it off Thursday and received it Friday afternoon. I don't think I can do justice all the incredible work she did. Seriously she turned my wedding dress from an ill fitted nightmare to a beautiful perfectly fitted stunning dress. I owe her a lot and will never be able to say thank you enough. If you ever need your wedding dress fixed or fitted, I highly recommend taking it to Beatrice. She's very professional and friendly and her work is impeccable.

    Beatrice did an AMAZING job on altering my wedding dress! In my situation, I needed my dress to be altered in 4 days so I was freaking out! Thankfully, I found Beatrice and all the stress disappeared. She was reassuring, telling me everything that was going to be done to the dress, and overall super friendly. I knew I could trust her after I met her and heard about all of her experience with alterations! If you want someone who is awesome, knows what they are talking about, communicates quickly, and will for sure make you feel beautiful at the end results, then I recommend Beatrice! Thank you so much for all that you did for me. I appreciate the time and effort you took out of your days to make sure my dress would be ready on short notice!

    Beatrice is now one of my favorite people! I went to Beatrice with my wedding dress, and I would make that decision again today. If you are looking for an inexpensive and impersonal experience, Bea is probably not what you are looking for! She works from her home, is very precise and dedicated to her craft, and makes absolutely sure that your garments fit flawlessly. I was surprised to learn upon meeting Beatrice that she also altered my moms wedding dress! We connected quickly and felt nothing but welcomed and comfortable in her studio. My mom also decided to have her dress altered by Bea for the wedding.

    My dress was a complex project because of its lace being difficult/expensive to source, and that the style actually required alteration of two separate pieces. I also lost a significant amount of weight during my engagement, and Bea was there through the continuous changes (at no convenience to her) to rework the dress so that it fit like a glove. Not to mention she was able to schedule my appointments when I was traveling back into Austin, as I live out of state! Let me tell ya... she handled a lot of change and she delivered. Never once was I worried about the dress being completed, nor the quality of the work that Beatrice gave to my dress. She isn't cheap but she is worth every penny!

    I am looking forward to having a reason to go see Bea again. Her fiery attitude and positive spirit are contagious to be around and I will definitely miss that!

    Beatrice altered my wedding gown in 2001. 16 years later, I brought my daughter to her to have her wedding dress altered. (I also had my MOB dress altered by her.) We could not have been happier with the results. They were perfect! She was wonderful to work with, always greeting us with a smile and a hug, and was patient as we both continued to lose weight during the alterations process. She ensured we were both 100% satisfied before we walked away with our dresses. She is meticulous beyond belief and takes great pride in her work. We will absolutely use her again in the future! If you want the best, hire Beatrice!

    Beatrice is just AWESOME! When I got my wedding dress, I was concerned on alterations - as my dress was a bit long (and I did not want to wear major heels on my wedding day) - especially since the bottom of the dress had intricate lace. I wouldn't let just let anybody alter it (especially with the horror stories we have heard about alterations). When I met Beatrice I knew she was very experienced, she was so knowledgeable on the construction of the dress! I had full confidence in her and she did not disappoint! She altered my dress so beautifully, and the bustle was exquisite (my MOH told me it was the best she had ever seen)! BTW, she also altered the bust of the dress, which I thought would be almost impossible for the lace, but again Beatrice knows her stuff, and her work is fabulous.

    Beatrice did an amazing job altering my bridal gown! I purchased my dress used from another bride, and Beatrice had to nearly re-make the entire dress. It fit me perfectly on my big day, and I couldn't be any happier with it!

    Beatrice was truly a pleasure to work with! She not only was a wonderful person but her work was incredible. My dress was too big in some areas and too small in others. She made it a point to talk through my vision, find out what I wanted the end result to look like and executed it extremely well. Alterations can be so stressful... my dress now fits me perfectly and I could not be more thankful that I found Beatrice!

    Beatrice is so talented, creative and fun to work with! She has the most beautiful design ideas and is not at all offended if you don't like them or that's not what you want. She makes sure your dress is EXACTLY how you envision it! She also has very fair pricing and is hilarious. I very highly recommend her!!
