Grateful Sent on 01/12/2022Incredible
Ms. Loyce at Grace Bridal Couture is incredible. We had a short engagement period and a cross-country wedding. Throughout the wedding planning process, my dress fittings with Ms. Loyce were my favorite part. It felt like the stresses of wedding planning would melt away for the hour I was with her.
Ms. Loyce cares so much about each of her brides. She takes pride in the work she does and wants each bride to look and feel beautiful and incredible. She puts so much time, care, and effort into her work.
Ms. Loyce fitted my dress and made a gorgeous yoke for my strapless wedding gown from BHLDN. She even added the sweetest details to the dress - it felt so special. Ms. Loyce also made a custom veil, to match my dress perfectly. She not only altered my dress, but was a true design consultant for other things I needed - how to I wear my veil? What style veil? How to I transport my wedding dress cross-country in the best way?
She also gave such thoughtful and sweet advice to my fiance and I about things that would help our wedding day be that much more special.
Ms. Loyce cares about each of her brides and gives incredible attention to each one. I'm so grateful for her. -

If you don't pick Grace Bridal Couture to handle your gown, you are making a grave mistake. Loyce is wonderful- both in her work and as a person.
If you want an experience that does your dress and your dream wedding justice, then she's your gal. Working with her is not a rush in- rush out situation. It's an experience.
Loyce gets to know her brides (and their mamas) and crafts something that fits and exceeds expectations.
Reworking a vintage gown? She's a pro at honoring the past but making sure you're not showing up ready for the Renaissance Faire in grandma's gown. Custom dress? She's there (at your wedding, too) with bells on.. making sure her creation does you justice on the big day. Need alterations? You'll wish she did one of the first two options because her work is better than anything off a hanger. Not to mention the company!
Someone should give this woman a talk show. Think: Delilah - meets Oprah - meets your mom (on her best mom day.) She's got great advice, calls it like she sees it, and a listening ear... wielding whichever one is needed at the moment.
You'll walk out of every appointment feeling better than you did coming in. In fact, fire your therapist and put your feet up on HER couch to talk it out. (It's been done)
I hope you can get an appointment, because if you can, it'll be the best decision you've made since saying, 'yes.'
Oh, and I suggest bringing a bottle of bubbly with you. It matches her personality- and its her favorite. I'd say good luck, but you won't need it. You'll be in capable and excellent hands!

Nicole Sent on 10/30/2018Quality Alterations, Professional manner and Comforting experience!
I was referred to Loyce from the woman I bought my pre-loved dress from and I was SO glad she sent me to her! All of my bridesmaids and mom lived out of town, so I had to go alone to my first fitting. Loyce was so comforting and immediately made me feel at ease. As someone who works in the fashion industry myself, I care a lot about fit and quality work. Loyce was so professional and precise - I can't believe that she takes regular clients like me instead of all celebrities, lol! Also, she not only did what I asked, she provided some really good advice and ideas as well. The best part.... she made ALL of my alterations temporary so she could take them out afterwards so I could sell my dress! I'm very petite and my dress was all illusion lace on top, and she made it look like nothing happened afterwards. She even took it to the cleaners for me! It was such a pleasure working with Loyce and I will be sure to recommend any future brides to her. She made this big part of my wedding day (the dress) one single thing I didn't have to worry about! I felt so beautiful on my wedding day thanks to her! :) -

Loyce simply worked magic with my dress. I brought her an incredibly difficult task - tailor a charmeuse silk dress with zero support down at least 4 sizes and make it flatter a curvy body... while I was losing weight. I cannot speak highly enough of her creativity and talent. My dress came out absolutely beautiful and she even worked with me to make very last minute adjustments on my body where my weight loss had changed the strap fit. My only regret is not finding her before I found the dress - I would have gone custom if I could!!! If you have the chance to work with her, take it. -

I didn't know what I was doing when I told my mom I would use her veil in my wedding. Enter Loyce: I found Grace Bridal on Yelp and sent Loyce an email telling her I wanted to make a custom veil out of my mom's old one. We met a few days later and so began my journey with Loyce. I looked forward to each of my fittings because they meant time with Loyce. She offered everything from husband help to style advice and made me feel like I was with a family member while creating this special piece for my wedding day. In the end, my veil turned out so perfect, it was the centerpiece of my outfit and the accessory people loved the most. I would recommend any bride visit Grace Bridal! -

Robin Sent on 10/26/2016For those daring brides who want to page homage to your mother's/grandmother's/g-grandmother's heirloom wedding dress but still want look like a fabulous modern bride on your wedding day - Loyce is the only woman for the job. My mother has talked about her wedding dress since I was a little girl. She was so proud of this dress that she worked hard to afford in the 80's and it was the epitome of bridal gowns of the time - long sleeves and lace with a Victorian style. When the time came for me to look for a dress, there was no question that I wanted a very similar dress if not her dress for my wedding day. I dressed shopped, but just didn't see any styles that remotely resemble her dress in my small budget so I looked for alterations experts in the area to see if it was even possible to redesign the dress into something that fit and flattered. My search left me at a loss, until I stumbled onto Loyce!
Loyce takes what's already in the dress and brings the best parts of it to flatter the best parts of you. It's truly a gift, I can't explain it! Seeing the final design of your dress the week of your wedding sounds nerve racking until you how she works and how talented she is. We spent about 9 months shaping this dress and those appointments with Loyce and my mom were my favorite part of the wedding planning process. I feel like I've known her forever now through this whole dress transformation experience. She goes above and beyond and even spares time to share her life wisdom when you need it. I couldn't even imagine how good I was going to look until Loyce swooped in and exceeded my wildest dreams! My mom's wedding dress is now my wedding dress and a design that will prove to be classic in the years to come. I couldn't think of a better way to honor my mom. She is a true professional and I would trust her with any heirloom or custom design. I'm so glad she gets to share her gift with other brides and I am so grateful for the opportunity to work with her. -

Diana Sent on 02/12/2016I bought a dress from BHLDN (Anthropologie) thinking that it would be easiest. I was incredibly mistaken, and the saleswomen who did a great job of showing me the dress didn't mention the fact that in order to make it remotely fit it would need major major alterations, and complicated ones at that. Finding someone to do those alterations was incredibly nerve-wracking, but I absolutely lucked out in finding Loyce. She is so incredibly skilled. Over and over at my wedding I was told that my dress looked like it was made for me, and that was absolutely not the case when I received it. Not only is Loyce astonishingly gifted and such a perfectionist when it comes to the dress, but she was wonderful to deal with on a personal level, very caring, very invested (and opinionated!). I feel incredibly fortunate to have met Loyce, and couldn't recommend her more. -

Stephanie Sent on 10/02/2013Loyce is a true gem! I met with a number of tailors in Los Angeles, trying to find one I clicked with to work on my mother's wedding dress (now my wedding dress) and once I met Loyce I knew my search was over. Loyce LOVES vintage wedding dresses! She understands how special they are, the detailed work they require and she knows how to modernize them while still respecting the original designer's vision. I couldn't have been in better hands! For my dress, Loyce restored the hem and some beadwork, created a bustle for the train (that was perfect!) and re-fitted the sleeves (twice! due to my indecision...) The work she did was truly stunning. She also gently sewed a comb into our ninety-year-old family veil that was secure, but could be removed for the next bride. I would trust her with any garment. She is incredibly skilled and I could not have been happier with the end result. Loyce knows her brides, she loves them and she understands how important the dress is. Especially with an heirloom dress, you will be hard-pressed to find anyone who cares more than she does. And to top it all off, Loyce is such a sweetheart! She's so wonderful to work with, is always in a good mood and very easy going. She made the fittings fun! And she even texted me on my wedding day to give her support from afar! Wearing my mother's wedding dress was a childhood dream. Loyce perfected the dress so I could make that dream a reality. I recommend her wholeheartedly.

Wonderful!
Loyce is absolutely amazing at transforming a dress! She starts three months out from your date, works with your schedule to create all the fitting dates, and guides you throughout the whole process providing different options and suggestions on how to make it THE dress.
My ceremony dress was originally strapless and we ended up adding sleeves to give more support. I was super indecisive the whole way on what to do and Loyce was always patient and provided different options and looks, cutting and pinning the fabric on me different ways during the fittings! In the end, Loyce was able to create beautiful illusion sleeves! Loyce also used the bottom parts of the dress to bring the back line higher and pulled in the dress to make the mermaid style more defined. No one could tell that we changed the style of the dress! Loyce also made my veil at no extra cost!
My reception dress needed alterations on the straps, neckline, and bottom. Loyce also made the slit higher and added a string (wrist loop?) at the train so I could hold the train up on my wrist while dancing. After the wedding, Loyce cut the train off at no charge so I can wear it again.
Loyce is super patient (I tried on many belts, veils, and undergarments during fittings to see what would go best and I never felt rushed at any of them!), organized, detail-oriented, professional, honest, and fun! Her prices are also very reasonable. Brides, if you're looking for special alterations and customizations, Loyce is it! Also, make sure to plan ahead because she books way in advance! -

The Best Experience!
Loyce was an absolute angel from day 1 - she helped to make my vision a reality and was such a joy to work with. She is extremely talented and detailed and only takes on so many brides a year as she does all of the work herself. I reached out to her as soon as I got my dress as she came so highly recommended. We had a great time at every fitting and I felt amazing because of her on my wedding day. -

Loyce is the best
Plain and simple, Loyce is the best. She was calm, honest, and gave great advice in addition to doing an amazing job with the alterations. She made sure I never worried and was a great communicator and I ended up with the dress of my dreams and a worry-free process! I cannot recommend Loyce enough. -

Excellent, Personable, Detail Oriented
Loyce was one of my favorite wedding vendors! Even though she had a bit of a health scare in the midst of our time together, she went above and beyond to make sure the dress I had became the dress of my dreams. She had an amazing eye on the details, stitching and even knew where to pull lace from to stitch to parts of my dress I had requested to make it feel like my own.
Loyce was always accommodating to my schedule, incredibly kind and personable. She really makes you feel like she cares about your well-being. Not only does she stitch the dress to fit, she also accounts for how your body shape is and makes it look good you!
I highly recommend her! If you want one less thing to worry about on your bridal journey, go with Grace Bridal Couture! -

Loyce is the BEST!
Loyce is amazing! She is sweet, generous, personable, and incredibly skilled. Took an ill fitting dress and made it perfectly made for my body. She is amazing and I would recommend her to anyone! If I had known, I would have had her make my dress from scratch, she would have created magic! -

Making my own traditions
To say that Loyce made my wedding dress dreams come true is an understatement. I was a non traditional bride who wanted a red wedding gown. Suffice it to say, those are hard to come by, especially without a 5 figure price tag. I did go to bridal shops and tried on a couple "traditional" dresses but knew that I really did want to go custom and red. To say that I was nervous at my initial decision is an understatement. But after the first "sample" fitting I could've burst into happy tears because I knew that I 100% made the right decision, but mainly because of Loyce! The entire experience was amazing from first phone call to last fitting. Her customer service is bar none. She made the entire experience so easy. She helped me pick out my fabric (and her knowledge is expansive! knowing which fabric will flow versus stay put, the difference in shades in different fabrics, etc.) and when I told her I wanted strapless (mind you I have a dire need of support in that area) she had so much patience and tried numerous different methods in the fittings to make sure we got the most support with the greatest style and comfort. And with that being said it came down to the wire for finishing touches for the boning and corset and Loyce hand delivered the dress to my house! I opted to go through the dress experience mostly alone (minus a couple fittings) so that all the opinions about my unique choice was not clouding my own judgement, but Loyce never made me feel like I was going at it alone. She truly listened and gave her honest opinions about things I was questioning and that intimate collaboration really made the best dress. Despite having to fight an hour of traffic each time I truly looked forward to every fitting because it always felt like I was going over to a friend's house. I cannot recommend Loyce enough. If you have an image in your head and have no idea where to start, well I'm telling you, calling Loyce is the best first choice you'll make. -

Superwoman
Every bride-to-be needs Loyce in their life! I cannot express enough how amazing and talented she is-seriously, she is the superwoman of bridal alterations and custom bridal gowns. She goes above and BEYOND for her brides and she genuinely cares about you and wants you to feel just as amazing on the inside as the outside on your day. I remember Loyce was so booked when I first contacted her and I’m not sure what I did to convince her to squeeze me in, but she made it happen and my dress would not have looked as amazing as it did without her. During my first fitting her years of experience showed right away. She suggested a small change to my dress that I would have never thought to change on my own and it took the dress to a whole new level! I never write reviews, but I truly grew so fond of her and had to spread the word on how amazing she is. 💕 -
