    Absolute Perfection

    Viktoria is an incredibly talented seamstress. Although I was nervous about my wedding dress being too small, she was able to make alterations to my dress so that it fit perfectly. She incorporated a beautiful bustle as well. I cannot recommend her business enough!

    Love!! Great experience

    Victoria was AWESOME to work with. She listened to everything I asked for and was so helpful since I didn't always know how to describe what I was looking for. I added a bow to my dress and she made it so perfect and beautiful, I would work with her again 1000x over. I wouldn't say she's necessarily cheap but I was happy to pay for the job to be done so well, and I had some unique requests which definitely added to the price. You don't want to mess around with the person who is changing your dress, so spend the money and go with Victoria, you'll be glad you did.

    Our daughters dress was tailored beautifully! We had a wonderful experience!

    We needed a last minute tailor and everything was completed on time!

    Perfect Fit!

    I found Victoria on Yelp - and she had such positive reviews, and responded quickly so I decided to have her alter my dress and it was the best decision I could have made! The alterations were perfect, perfect length, and through the middle and bust line, also added a bustle. Victoria helped me pull my whole look together for my wedding. It was perfect !!!

    My wedding dress was a perfect fit!

    I got married in August 2023 and Victoria altered my dress perfectly! On the day of my wedding, I felt like my dress was custom made for me, even though we only did a few alterations such as bringing the sides and waist in, adding a bustle and bringing the front of the dress up slightly. The original size of the dress was a 10 and we took it down to about an 8 in the top section. It was so easy to work with Victoria! I had my first consultation with her in March of 2023 and picked up my dress in May 2023. I wasn’t in a rush to have my dress altered since my wedding was not until August. If you needed quicker alterations, she may be able to accommodate that. Victoria works from her home studio, which I wasn’t expecting at first, but she was super professional and knew exactly what needed to be done. The pricing for everything I needed done was about $400 which is very comparable to other vendors I researched. I would highly recommend her work, she is so talented and kind!

    Victoria Helped me when I was in a Bind!

    I reached out to Victoria to help me add a waist stay to my dress after I noticed that I had lost some lbs before the big day. (I highly recommend a waist stay if you have a strapless dress, it helped keep everything in place). Victoria was able to see me quickly and add what I needed. She was professional, timely, and very reasonably priced.

    Amazing talent!

    Victoria did an amazing job altering my daughter's wedding dress to perfection. She also made a belt with a broach attached.

    I loved the way she designed her bustle. It made the dress look completely different and you could not even tell there was a bustle.

    She removed the lace off of my old wedding dress and attached it to a tulle train for my daughter. It was beautiful! It was such intricate work and she paid so much attention to every detail.

    She also altered my dress. It needed shortening and she suggested taking the length up at my waist. I did not want a waistline and you could not tell where she shortened it. It did not show at all.

    She gave wonderful advice on how to compliment our dresses with jewelry.

    I would highly recommend Victoria for your bridal alterations. She is a gifted artist and seamstress.

    Incredible experience with Victoria!

    Victoria was easy to schedule appointmetns with, communicative, and knew exactly what was needed to make it fit me perfectly. She even helped recommend some bridal accessories / under garments to give me exactly the look I wanted. I am thrilled with my dress and would highly recommend working with her!

    Victoria is amazing! She just completed two alterations for me for my wedding and she did them exactly how I requested! She is so gifted and I can't wait to wear my dress on my wedding day! I was referred to Victoria by a friend and can not recommend her enough!

    Feeling like a Princess!

    Victoria was fabulous with my wedding dress alterations. She knew exactly what needed to be done for it to be the perfect fit. She also helped show my sister how to bustle the dress on my last fitting. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does when you do your last try on and she is able to see the final product and share your joy with the moment.

    Highly Recommended

    Victoria is an amazing seamstress! She was very professional, responsive and talented! I highly recommend her for wedding dress alterations. About two months before my wedding, I tried on my wedding dress and it was too big. Even though time was tight and the dress had quite a lot of beading, Victoria was confident that she could make the alterations in time. She was spot on with her measurements and the dress fit perfectly on the first fitting post alterations! I don’t plan on getting married again any time soon but I would go back to her in a heartbeat if I needed a wedding dress altered

    The absolute best!

    Victoria is an absolute lifesaver! I was supposed to get married pre-COVID and had my wedding dress altered with another person. Once COVID hit and we had to reschedule, I popped my dress in the bag and didn’t take time to look at it until this past month. When I tried it on and realized it didn’t fit, I contacted Victoria. She responded extremely quickly and was able to get me in to work on it. When I arrived and put on my dress, we noticed all these areas where my dress was incorrectly cut around the appliqués and lace by the previous seamstress. I was so upset but she assured me she would fix it! Four weeks later, I was able to pick up my dress and it is PERFECT! She was able to fix all the mistakes (can’t tell they ever happened) and also made it fit me perfectly. I cannot wait to be able to wear it and know that everything was done properly. For reference, she had to redo the hem, redo the bustle, undo where it was improperly taken in and redo that again, and also had to take up the shoulder straps. Highly recommend her for caring for your dress!

    The Absolute BEST!!!

    I am so blessed to have found Victoria! She is an amazing seamstress! A true artist in what she does. Due to Covid, I was unable to go shopping at stores for a wedding dress. I had to order dresses offline to have shipped to my house in order to try them on. After many different shipments, I finally found a dress that I loved, the only problem was it was an A-line dress and I was really wanting a mermaid silhouette. I bought it anyway though, and started looking for someone to do alterations. After my first appointment with Victoria, I knew she was going to able to make my dress exactly how I had pictured it. She transformed it into the dress of my dreams! I might have started with a simple online dress, but thanks to her I ended with a one of a kind gorgeous dress! Not only was she amazing at what she does, but she is the sweetest most caring person! Do not hesitate to call her for alterations! I promise you, you will not be disappointed!!

    Beyond Satisfied

    I cannot begin to express how grateful I am to Victoria. When I picked up my daughter’s flower girl dress and we could barely zip it she was devastated! I took it back to the store where we ordered it from to find that it was ordered off the wrong chart and could not get a new one in time. Victoria’s daughter who works there immediately sent a picture to her and she told her to bring it home with her. The dress now fits my daughter perfectly and she can’t wait to wear it next weekend. Oh and if all the alterations weren’t enough Victoria surprised my daughter with a ribbon belt with a flower made from the scrap materials to add a little extra something special to her dress. Thank you, thank you, thank you Victoria! I will send you a picture on the big day!

    Oh, Alysia, thank you so much for such kind words! I enjoyed working with Elizabeth, she is a blue eyes's angel. Children are the most sincere and open people! The biggest reward for me is their smile. I am looking forward to get your pictures to complement my storefront!

    Look no further

    I cannot say enough great things about Victoria. As a COVID bride, my plans continued to change and I didn't think I was going to be able to wear my wedding dress for our ceremony. That said, Victoria made it happen. By the time my dress came in I only had a month (give or take) before our ceremony. Victoria squeezed me in the week my dress arrived, and fitted me for alterations. She had to restructure the bones of my dress to fit my torso as well as the usual hemming and add bustles. She did it all in plenty of time for my ceremony, and the dress fit like a glove. I am thrilled with how it came out, and would refer Victoria to anyone I know looking to get wedding alterations done.

    Victoria was great!

    Victoria did an amazing job on my wedding dress. I ordered a size too big so there was much to be done - straps, bust, waist, hem, and bustle. The dress fits me perfectly and I couldn't be happier with the result.

    BEST alterations!

    I had my dress altered, and Victoria did a beautiful job. My dress was very detailed- almost all lace of very intricate design and she handled the hemming and bustle like a pro! I'd recommend her to anyone, she can handle anything!

    Wonderful experience & amazing work!

    After being quoted almost $900 at a Raleigh bridal boutique to get my dress hemmed and have the shoulders and waist taken in, I found Victoria! Her prices are EXTREMELY reasonable and her work is incredible. She is very timely in her responses, flexible, and easy to work with. It's also worth noting, especially in a time of pandemic anxiety, that her house is very clean and she stays masked and provides hand sanitizer. I felt very comfortable taking my mother with me. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for bridal alterations!

    Amazing seamstress!

    Victoria is AMAZING! My dress was over three inches too long and had a very distinct lace appliqué at the bottom so I was really nervous I wouldn’t be able to shorten it. Victoria worked her magic and shortened the dress, you couldn’t even tell that it had been hemmed in the skirt part, it looked like the same dress! Her eye for the small details is amazing, she noticed a few other places to alter the dress so that it fit perfectly. I highly recommend Victoria for your wedding dress alterations!

    Wonderful Experience!!!

    Victoria was absolutely amazing throughout the entire process! She worked very swiftly to alter the hemline and bust of my wedding dress. She went above and beyond to modify a pocket within the dress to hold my diabetic insulin pump. I am SO thankful she was able to make this alteration so that I don't have to worry about how to conceal my insulin pump on the wedding day!! In addition, she also modified the second layer of my veil so that everyone will be able to see the back of my beautiful dress through the veil! I am very pleased with her craftsmanship!!

    Victoria is amazing!!

    Victoria was truly a joy to work with even though COVID-19 got in the way of our wedding celebrations. Her attention to detail, abundant experience, and extensive knowledge really made my wedding dress!! She came up with an incredibly unique and beautiful way to bustle my dress and even changed the straps to a V-shape to be even more flattering on me!! She is incredibly reliable, easy to communicate with, and her prices are incredibly fair!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making my wedding dress amazing!! Oh… and she even created a beautiful drawing of me in my dress to have as a keepsake!! She truly is a gem!!!

    Amazing Work!!

    Victoria was recommended to me by Savvi Formalwear and Bridal, which is where I got my wedding dress. Our original wedding plans for May were canceled due to COVID-19, but we still wanted to have a backyard elopement (with my dress on!). Since we moved up our date by several weeks, I asked if she could have all the alterations + steaming of my dress done and ready for when my first fitting was scheduled, and she made it happen! I am so happy with how my dress turned out!! The dress fit me so perfectly! I'd love to share photos, but I have to wait until I wear my dress again at our reception next year :)
    Thank you, Victoria, for being so responsive and flexible! You helped make our last-minute backyard wedding picture perfect!

    Amazing and Accomodating for Out of Town Bride!!

    Victoria made my dress tailoring the easiest part of my wedding planning!! I was a bride coming from out of town back to my hometown, and she worked with me every step of the way. She made sure she had time for me when I was in town which lifted a lot of stress off of me. My dress was beautiful, and after she altered it, I felt amazing! She was fast and efficient and her work was beautiful! She even took the time to patiently explain putting up the bustle to my matron of honor. I would highly, highly recommend her to any bride I know!!

    Perfect Experience

    Everything about my experience with Victoria for my wedding dress alterations was absolutely perfect.
    I felt her pricing was very competitive compared to other businesses in the area. She was very responsive and easy to schedule appointments.
    I am so impressed with the quality of her work! The alterations were done so perfectly. The bustle she designed is beautiful and she took the time to sew in numbered ties and clear clasps to make it easy and functional. I would recommend any bride to go to Victoria
