Cortney C. Sent on 03/30/2024Wonderful work and pleasant experience 10/10
I am so happy with my choice to use Irina for my wedding dress alterations. From start to finish she was extremely pleasant to work with. Very kind, listened to my concerns, and helped come up with a perfect plan for the dress.
Her work is extremely well done, and done with care beautifully. I would 10/10 recommend Irina to any bride looking for alterations.
Thank you for making this process less stressful and for making my dress perfect! -

My dream dress 💖
I am so happy I hired Irina to create my custom wedding gown. She brought my vision to life and made it even more beautiful than I could have imagined. I got endless compliments on my buff day. She has a real eye for design, creates a professional product, and is kind and lovely to spend time with. 10/10 so grateful for Irina! 💖 -

Excellent seamstress
I heard many wonderful things about Irina’s workmanship. They were not wrong. I took a dress that I needed modified for my engagement photos and she brought my ideas to life making the dress more to my liking. The alterations were quick and expertly done. She’s also been helpful with my wedding dress design. I can’t recommend her enough. -

Incredible work!
I found Irina on line and did not even realize how lucky I got to have a real professional to do my wedding dress alterations.
Irina has done an amazing job making my dress (full of handmade lace) couple sizes smaller. Not to mention the incredibly beautiful custom made veil!
I was looking for a cathedral length veil to be similar in style/ color to my dress. All I tried before were extremely heavy and I could not imagine walking in it. The shades of ivory/ off white/ champagne were also confusing. Irina was kind to offer to replace some flowers from my dress and make a veil for me. It came out exactly how I envision it.
My wedding was a destination one. And I would have probably ended up with a huge carry on, if not Irina’s help on packing it neatly into a smaller garment bag. It was easy enough to go to Europe with it and take several flights before we got to our destination.
Thank you for your attentive help and incredible work! -

Look no further. Irina is an amazingly gifted and talented seamstress. She is a fabulous designer and will listen to what you tell her that you want. She will give you suggestions, ideas an options and her pricing is reasonable for the quality she delivers. She is quick to respond to inquiries and delivers your dress at an agreed upon date and time. She is a joy! -

Irina is an absolute wizard!
She had a huge impact on the success of my wedding and here are my 3 "Why's":
1. I bought my stunning wedding dress elsewhere knowing that it still needed some significant alterations to be my 100% dream dress. She worked with my vision, gave me her knowledgeable feedback and it just couldn't turn more amazing! She created a deeper V-neck, took in and took out where needed to complement my figure and double-bustled my breathtaking train. My dress was stunning on me and I felt like a star, all while being comfortable all wedding long!
2. Irina wasn't persuaded that the simplest, short veil I purchased with my dress was the route to go. She envisioned more dramatic look so she packed me a long veil "to go" to decide on the wedding day. Obviously I never looked back at the short one and yes, the pictures are truly special!
3. I had a last-minute bridesmaid change and my cousin who lives overseas stepped in as my new bridesmaid. The catch was she didn't fly in until the day before the wedding. Irina basically saw us as soon as my cousin landed and altered the dress I bought for her in less than an hour. She saved me from an anxiety attack and she really did a clean, beautiful work!
Irina is so smooth and seamless at what she does. She altered some of my clothes in the past before working on my wedding and rest assured I will be using her expert services in the future. I adore her work, she really is inspirational! And her pricing is really attractive; in fact I believe she cuts herself short.

Can’t find the right dress “off the shelf”? Looking to embellish your dress with fun accents? Need something completely out of the ordinary? Just can’t seem to find your dream wedding dress? Then you need to contact Irina. Not only is she very friendly and fun to work with, but she is also so incredibly talented. When I came to her, I needed something very out of the ordinary and only had some ideas in my head about what I wanted. Irina designed the entire thing from scratch the outcome was the most beautiful wedding dress I’ve ever seen. I highly recommend Irina to every bride. -

Simply amazing
Irina is simply amazing. She is incredibly talented, detail oriented, professional, and wonderful to work with. She altered my dress to fit me perfectly and then painstakingly hand-sewed the extra lace appliqués onto my veil to create a unique custom look. I can’t recommend her enough to any bride- you will not regret bringing your dress to Irina! -

Emma W. Sent on 02/16/2021The dress of my dreams!
If you are someone like me who reads reviews and is very selective before making a decision, please know that my review encourages you to go with Irinia for your custom dress needs. Irinia is very sweet and helpful and truly wants you to feel like you have the dress of your dreams. She only takes on a specific number of customers so that she can give every bride all of her attention. She has her studio in her home (covid-friendly because it is separate from the entire home), which makes it feel like a mom-and-pop shop (warm, special, and genuine). She not only was kind enough to put my dressmaking on hold due to the pandemic, but she also was always readily available for any questions or things I had changed my mind about with my dress. She never made me feel like I had to decide one way or another, she truly listened to me and always made the adjustments I would ask after trying it on. Irinia also was sweet to give me life advice when I went to see her such as keeping up with going to the gym and doing a hobby one loves to tame away the pandemic’s anxieties. She is truly like a family member with you working on your dress. I am so happy I went with her studio instead of a larger design company because I don’t think I would have received all the attention I did with Irinia. I can truly tell you, if you decide to go with Irinia, your end process will be having the dress of your dreams! Everyone absolutely loved my dress and most importantly, designing my dress with her, gave me the dress of my dreams. She even let me choose between 2 veils, with letting me bring back the one I did not use. She is so kind and throughout a process that takes months sometimes, you want to be working with someone who is kind. -

Dream Wedding Dress
Irina made my dreams come when she tailored my wedding dresses to perfection. Both my ceremony and reception dresses were altered by her and they made me feel like royalty. She is patient, thoughtful, detailed oriented, and extremely kind. Whether you’re thinking about a custom dress or getting your dress altered, highly recommend Irina! -

Irina is so awesome to work with! She is so sweet and great at what she does. She was able to alter my dress along with my mom and maid of honor's dresses - and she did all of them so quickly! She is very talented and everyone was pleased with how their dresses turned out. Irina is so kind & patient, and listened to all of our needs. Thank you Irina -

Special and fantastic
Irina did a fantastic job with my wedding dress alterations. She went over and beyond to make sure the dress was secure and comfortable. Her little touches made me feel extra special and cared for. I even got my veil from her. If you’re looking for someone to alter anything special or for a wedding, she’s the best!

Wedding Dress Magician!
After lots of online searching and multiple trips to various bridal salons, I was discouraged about wedding dress shopping. I had some ideas about dress shapes and possible fabrics, but I could not find anything like the vision in my head within my price range that could be ready in time (we planned the wedding in a 6-month window). A friend recommended Irina, another seamstress commended her work after looking through the portfolio, and we set up a consultation. During our conversation, she clarified the image and then set to work on finding the right materials (a lily of the valley floral with silk organza overlay), designing the dress (custom pattern), and then tailoring it over multiple fitting sessions, as she saw how it looked on me. Irina is creative AND she has an eye for details AND she has the skilled capability to bring the dream or the drawing to fruition. My fiancé (now husband) went with me to each of the sessions, and we agree that she exceeded our expectations. Thank you for helping to make our wedding day uniquely beautiful! -

Irina is an amazing designer. She is a delight to work with. She always goes beyond expectations to create a unique design for her customers. It was a pleasure to be able to work with her for my wedding veil and wedding dress alternations. She created my veil and it was beyond anything I could imagine. Everyone was asking me about her amazing work. She is a truly gifted designer. I could not thank her enough for always accommodating my needs and always exceeding my expectations. -

Absolutely Wonderful
Irina was an absolute PLEASURE to work with. I asked her to help me modernize my mom’s wedding dress from the early 90s, and she absolutely made my vision come true and then some. She was very professional, sweet and kind, and talented. She listened to my vision and what I wanted, while also suggesting her own ideas (which I loved). I would recommend anyone looking for a custom dress work with Irina.
Thank you so much, Irina!!! -
