  High quality affordable wedding alterations!

  Clara worked her magic and made my wedding dress fit like a glove! At first I was nervous because my dress was heavily beaded and lacey, but Clara exceeded my expectations with her alterations. The torso of my dress was too long, and Clara basically had to resew some beading back onto my dress to get the torso to be just right. I couldn’t even really notice a difference in the beading -- she is THAT detail-oriented. Also, Clara is definitely more affordable for wedding alterations than her competitors, and she even made my veil for free! Definitely would recommend, you won’t be disappointed with her.

  Clara is amazing!

  I am originally from out of town so finding a good seamstress was proving difficult. I took a chance with Clara and am so glad I did. She was a joy to work with and took such good care of me and my dress. We met 3 times to complete the alterations and the dress fit perfectly. You can tell she really cares about her brides and making sure they are comfortable. Given the amount of work needed on my dress I thought the value was great. I took my dress and veil back to Clara for preservation and she even offered to deliver it to my house. Will be visiting her again the next time I need a dress altered and would highly recommend her.

  If you are in the metro Atlanta area and need someone to alter your wedding dress, look no further! Clara is the absolute best. She made my dress everything that I wanted. She makes you feel like you are her only customer. Her prices are honest and a great deal for the quality she provides.

  Clara's work is nothing short of incredible!!! After bringing my wedding gown to two prominent alterations places and not feeling comfortable, I went with a co-worker's recommendation to go see Clara. The shop is small and modest, but you can feel the warmth as soon as you walk in. My dress needed a few things tweaked, along with a little weird re-shaping, and Clara fixed it PERFECTLY!! She listened carefully to all of my requests - "not too tight, I need to be able to breathe!" Her alterations were absolutely meticulous, and the dress fit perfectly and looked stunning!! My now-husband kept complimenting how amazing the dress looked on me. It was a pretty dress to start with, but Clara made it gorgeous. Thank you, Clara!!

  Clara altered my wedding dress from a size 14 down to a size 4 (I bought it off the rack at a running of the brides event) - and when I told people that, they couldn't believe it! The dress fit me like a glove on my wedding day and you couldn't tell that any alterations work had been done. I was so nervous about the alterations process knowing how big the dress was, but she did an amazing job. Clara is super sweet and my go-to alterations lady from now on!

  Clara was an absolute doll and did an amazing job altering my far-too-large Ann Taylor dress that I bought for a steal sight unseen. She not only made the dress fit me like a glove, she also added cups so I could go bra-free, added boning and the most perfect bustle, and sewed on a beautiful beaded belt for a truly one-of-a-kimd gown. She also sewed in a new, heavy-duty emergency zipper after the original zipper broke at my last fitting. Clara was always so sweet and complimentary, her prices were very reasonable, and I am so glad I trusted her to make my dress MY dress.

  So glad I went to Clara, I had bought a knock-off dress from overseas that needed a lot of help. With the dress cost and alteration expense, I saved a lot of money and still looked like a couture magazine bride. Clara is super sweet and professional for sure, very passionate and accommodating. Clara doesn't price-gouge like so many other places when they hear "wedding." It's a lot of work to alter gowns because of lace and layers, and I gave poor Clara less than a month to alter mine. But she didn't scoff at me like other pricier places nearer to me had, she was understanding and excited to help me look my best and man did she deliver! Love you Clara!

  I cannot say enough good things about Clara and her shop!! She is SO talented and sweet and efficient!! I wanted a complete overhaul of the dress I found - chop off the entire train and re-attach the lace trim, create lacey straps to create keyhole in back and straps for front, remove and replace the entire lining - Clara did all of it and it turned out PERFECT! She spent hours searching for just the right trim for the sleeves so they'd match the top of the dress, she painstakingly attached all of the lace to the train, and all of it for the most reasonable pricing I could find in Atlanta by FAR! I will certainly be back and I would recommend her services 1000%

  I would highly recommend Clara for wedding dress alterations. I had a lace dress, and it required several fittings to get it just right- Clara was able to schedule my fittings around my jam-packed schedule, and turn around time was very short between fittings. She did wonderful work, changing the entire top of my dress to fit my vision and listening to what it was that I wanted. She was always friendly and professional, and gave me the fee upfront after my first fitting (no hidden fees later on due to multiple fittings!). I was very pleased with the end result, and will definitely be returning for any other alteration needs I have!

  Clara altered my daughter's wedding dress. I am convinced that there is not a better alterations provider in Atlanta! She is detail oriented, does unbelievably beautiful work, and is very nice. I would drive a great distance to use Clara - she is THAT good! You do not want to take a chance on something as important as your expensive wedding dress. In Clara's hands, you are safe. Clara makes each bride as stunning as is possible by making her wedding dress perfect!!
  HIGHLY recommmend!

  Alterations Review: I had my dress "custom made" in China, and Clara did a great job with the alterations I needed just 2 weeks before the wedding. She added in a bustle and made some creative adjustments as well. Since my dress was slightly too long, she rented me a skirt to help create volume underneath. She also noticed some areas that were not smooth around my hips and altered them (in one round) so that the dress was a perfect fit. I couldn't be happier with the result!

  Clara is the sweetest person ever and she does wonderful work. There are so many longtime customers that come in there and will tell you they have known her and worked with her forever. I chose her based on Yelp reviews and I was so pleased. She is a very kind person and her appointments are prompt and when you need them. I had no trouble getting my alterations done in the time I needed them done. My dress was huge and she made it fit me like a glove.
  
  I showed up to all my fittings without any helpers and she got me in and out of that dress in no time! I will definitely be back.
