The best of the best and a one-stop shop - alterations, pressing, and cleaning/box
Absolutely the best and they live up to the lovely experience people have described. I'm detail oriented and have a real appreciation for the craftsmanship of the work they do - my very complicated wedding gown came out PERFECT. I did their pressing service which made the actual day a piece of cake. Appreciated the bustle notes and packing tips as well. They also did an amazing job with cleaning after (I def spilled food all over my train, yikes) and it came back flawless with the boxing and preservation. I'm so glad I found them! -

I had a great experience at BeFitted! We eloped and then had our reception three weeks later, and I wanted to have my dress cleaned in between. This was such a tight turnaround AND Thanksgiving was in the middle of all of this, but Michelle and Diane made it happen with time to spare! I really appreciated how stress-free they made the alterations and fitting process. -

Laura O. Sent on 10/26/2022Beautiful, flexible, and kind bridal shop!
I am so thankful for Diane and Michelle! I was so happy to find this women and BIPOC-owned shop in Old Town Alexandria and they were both so kind, thoughtful, and skilled to work with. I had three dress fitting appointments for my wedding separates in which they added a bustle and cups, and adjusted length and size. They VERY kindly did rush alterations for me in the week before my wedding when I needed last-minute adjustments. I am SO grateful for their help and kindness which kept me feeling secure, beautiful, and confident to dance all night long on my wedding day! Thank you both for your beautiful and skilled craftmanship! -

This could not have been a better experience. I had a crazy timeline (due to family circumstances, I had to dramatically shorten my wedding timeline, and come back home to Alexandria from New Zealand a week before the new wedding date). I had my dress tailored in New Zealand and unfortunately when they took in the hips they left it bunched and did not take out the extra fabric, just sewed it in. Be Fitted was wonderful in assessing what they would be able to do in a short time, and got it done in just a couple of days and it looked SO much better. I also paid for the steaming/prep service which revived my dress from its travel as carry-on all the way from New Zealand. I dropped my dress off after my wedding for cleaning & preservation because I know they'll do a great job with it too.
Cannot thank them enough for helping my dress fit fantastic. Very fair prices and absolutely worth it -

Amazing experience!
BeFitted truly was remarkable to work with! I used BeFitted to tailor my two dresses and for delivery services. BeFitted helped me find the perfect undergarments, showed such kindness and attention to detail and was overall the best best best wedding dress fairy godmother! -

Michelle and Diane were a dream to work with. They are super friendly, professional, and extremely organized. They answered my questions before I was able to ask them! My dress was a lot bigger than I thought it was (yay tulle!) but Diane was able to bustle it beautifully and Michelle gave me a diagram to help when I have to do it on the day. I am so happy I found Befitted Tailoring co.!! -

Jordan S. Sent on 07/07/2020Fantastic Experience!
Diane and Michelle are both wonderful to work with! My initial fitting was in February 2020 and I immediately fell in love with their space upon walking in. The whole appointment was quick and easy. I tried on my dress, explained what I thought it needed and they made some excellent suggestions as well. Both of them were helpful, super friendly and made the experience special. Once the COVID-19 pandemic began they were quick to send out an email addressing the situation and asking for any changes to wedding plans. I ended up postponing mine so we pushed back the appointment date for the second fitting. The entire process was very easy. I went in for my second and final fitting in June and felt comfortable with the precautions they had in place. Plus, the dress alterations were perfect. I only needed it shortened (which was no small feat considering the amount of layers my dress has) and for the straps to be shortened. I'm very happy with the experience and the result. I can't wait to wear my dress next year once the situation is more stable! -

Bailey W. Sent on 08/14/2021Thank you Michelle and Diane!
Thank you for the beautiful job on my wedding dress. I fell in love with a dress with this funky boning that did not work for me and BeFitted Tailoring did an amazing job taking it in so that it would actually fit my torso. They had some very helpful recommendations including how to travel with the dress to San Diego, how to choose the best undergarments, and how to make use of double sided tape. I am so grateful that the dress still fit over a year and a half later when I actually got married (after multiple COVID postponements). Thank you Michelle and Diane! -

My wedding was postponed for 9 months (thanks COVID!) and therefore my dress that had previously fit like a gem didn't so much anymore. Four weeks out from the wedding I went to BeFitted and these ladies worked magic!!! Not only did they take out my dress, but they offered advice to life my *girls* so they looked their best in my dress! They also fixed my bustle as it was done poorly at my last fitting appointment by another company. Also, their studio is SO CUTE!! Hire them for sure!!!! -

These are THE nicest people ever! But also they do amazing work! I loved my dress when I went in to get it fitted and honestly didn’t think I could have loved it anymore but when I went in to try it on after they had finished WOW! Also I am the only bride I know of in the past few weddings I’ve been to who didn’t have a bustle malfunction halfway through the reception!! Seriously cannot recommend this place enough! -

Magen W. Sent on 12/31/2020Incredibly skilled and friendly mother-daughter team!
I had such a great experience with Michelle and Diane at BeFitted! They are such a friendly and skilled mother-daughter team! At the wedding my dress fit perfectly!! I loved my dress all along but was slightly hesitant before tailoring it about the way it would look on me. After working with BeFitted, I was amazed at how perfectly it fit me and how much more comfortable I was wearing it! Michelle and Diane are so good at what they do and gave great advice. They are super kind and responsive and had very fair rates. They made the experience special and way less nerve-wracking! Also, they were very considerate, professional and flexible as changes arose due to the coronavirus. -

I ended up being a pandemic bride. I purchased my dress in Oct 2019 and from March until June, our wedding (9/12/2020) was completely up in the air. We decided mid-June to push forward and while managing all the other details, a dress fitting was not high on my list since my dress fit *mostly* perfectly. It was mid-July when I finally requested an appointment with Michelle & Diane - the first weekend of August (because I was like, "eh it is fine"). Michelle reached out to me almost immediately after I scheduled and recommended that I move my appointment sooner. After our exchanges via email I could feel their warmth and was so excited to work with them... and CAN I JUST SAY that everything about their shop, their policies, and their personalities are amazing! 1. they were efficient - I was in and out in maybe 20 minutes but never felt rushed. 2. they were both incredibly sweet and professional 3. they were completely honest with me RE: my dress was entirely tulle and while it wouldn't be impossible to bustle, it would not be ideal on the day of (very delicate, take a long time, etc)... Which is absolutely fine, because I entertained the thought of a second dress anyway. I just really appreciate that they were honest with me. I got my second dress, brought it for a few adjustments, picked up my dresses a week before the wedding... and everything was absolutely perfect. I've already recommended them to someone else and for all wedding/formalwear, they are my #1 choice and recommendation! -

Amy Sent on 09/14/2020Amazing Experience!
I originally made my dress appointment in April 2020 for my wedding early September 2020. With COVID-19, the appointment had to be postponed due to stay-at-home orders. First, it was in June and then could be adjusted to end of May. Diane and Michelle were very open in communicating appointment changes and new safety protocols in the studio. I was not moving my wedding date and them making my dress work in the allotted time was of no concern. My first appointment was wonderful and we talked through options for my dress. My second appointment went so well with on-the-spot adjustments that I ended up being able to take my dress home that day! I would highly recommend Befitted for any bride in the DMV area. My experience was easy, fun, and enjoyable. -

Best Wedding Dress Alterations!
I don't know what I would have done without Michelle & Diane! They are amazing, talented, professional, loving and super friendly. I had doubts about my dress alterations since I had illusion sleeves and they kept me calm throughout the process ensuring me that they would do whatever they had to to make it work. They made the dress fit absolutely perfect and it was better than I could have imagined. I would HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend. -

Catherine Sent on 01/28/2020Michelle and Diane are the BEST!
After a nightmare experience trying (and failing) to coordinate alterations for my dress through the atelier where I purchased it, I asked my coordinator for referrals and I'm SO happy things worked out and I ended up taking my dress to Befitted. These women are amazing, and they made every step of the process so easy and seamless. Will also say I give them huge props for how they integrate different tech platforms (payment, scheduling, etc) to make every step of the process so easy. I've never seen two people work so quickly! They did a huge amount of work to my dress and transformed it into absolutely the perfect fit. Can't thank them enough!!
