Phenomenal Experience!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about High Vibe Bride. From the very first interaction through alterations, the entire experience was thoughtful, personal, and genuinely joyful.

This is my second wedding, and that context matters. During my first wedding, dress shopping at large bridal stores was stressful, overwhelming, and impersonal. I felt rushed and unseen. I chose High Vibe Bride because it seemed different—and it absolutely was, in the best possible ways.

High Vibe Bride is a small, intimate salon that works with individual clients only, which creates an incredibly calm and personalized experience. Before my appointment, Janay scheduled a phone call to learn about my vision, preferences, body, comfort needs, and my multi-day destination elopement. She asked thoughtful questions, provided extensive information, and explained timelines and options clearly. By the time I arrived, she had already pulled dresses that aligned exactly with what I wanted. I immediately felt seen, heard, and cared for.

As a plus-size bride, I was blown away by the selection. There were so many plus-size dresses in a wide variety of styles—not just one look or silhouette. Every dress I tried on was beautiful and thoughtfully chosen. Janay was extremely communicative throughout the appointment, answering all of my questions thoroughly and offering helpful details about how each dress would move and feel. She absolutely nailed it based on our phone conversation—I ended up buying the very first dress I tried on, something I never expected. Even better, although I went in planning to buy one dress, I left with two. They were completely different, perfect for different parts of my elopement, and affordable because the pricing was far more reasonable than anywhere else in town.

I had very specific needs—plus-size, long sleeves, and nothing restrictive—and yet the selection was incredible. I never felt limited or like I had to compromise. Janay affirmed me throughout the entire experience and made me feel confident, beautiful, and honestly like a princess.

The alteration process was equally amazing. Janay’s background in making wedding dresses truly sets her apart. For my adventure elopement, mobility was essential—my photographer even encouraged me to make sure I could do jumping jacks in my dress. Janay offered creative, expert solutions that allowed me to move freely while maintaining the integrity and beauty of the gown.

On a personal level, Janay went above and beyond to accommodate my severe dog allergies, thoroughly vacuuming the studio, putting down extra coverings, and checking in with me multiple times to ensure I was comfortable. She was also incredibly thoughtful when my mom couldn’t attend due to injury—helping FaceTime her, sending photos, and making sure she felt included.

High Vibe Bride is not just a bridal salon—it is a place where brides are truly listened to, affirmed, and supported. Janay has created something special, and I am deeply grateful. I cannot recommend High Vibe Bride highly enough.

Great all around

Janay helped me think through want I wanted in a dress, made great suggestions, found me tons of cute dresses to try on, helped me figure out which undergarments would work best with my dress, and was just great all around. I'm so happy with my dress!! Also did an awesome job finding my mom a perfect mother of the bride dress!

Amazing, personalized dress shopping experience

Everything about High Vibe Bride was amazing from the start. It was so easy to book an appointment, and right off the bat the owner, Janay, messaged me asking what my dress style, bodice shape, skirt shape, etc. preferences were. The evening before my appointment, Janay personally sent me a short video of 6 dresses she had chosen based on our previous discussion. I had a very low budget for a wedding dress, and living in a big city there were only 1-2 stores that were within my price range. I was nervous I wouldn't be able to find the right dress for the right price, but Janay made me feel like there were endless options within my budget. The day of our appointment she was incredibly welcoming and reviewed the main points of my wedding and the dream dress I had in mind. She was so knowledgeable about each type of dress, how she could do small or large alterations to make it your dream dress, and what worked for your body type. She also does all her own alterations and can completely blow your mind with her creativity! I can't recommend Janay or High Vibe Bride enough!

Plus Size Friendly

High Vibe Bridal was the best experience I have ever had dress shopping, bar none! Janay went out of her way to find me a dress in her store that made me feel beautiful after I fell out of love with my old dress. She had multiple options for me to try, all of which I could leave with that day once paid for, which is absolutely incredible! All of her dresses are priced amazingly and are breathtakingly beautiful. She truly has an eye to make a whole vision come to life! I will never be able to say enough good things about this shop and about Janay! If you are wanting a sign to shop for a dress here, take this as one, because she is incredible!

Janay is one of a kind

Janay is a miracle worker!!! She took my moms VERY 90’s wedding dress (I’m talking puffy sleeves and sequins) and made it into the dress of my dreams. I could not have found anything I liked half as much in a store. She even sewed some lace from my grandmothers gown into mine. My original wedding plans were turned upside down due to COVID but I told myself no matter where I got married I was going to wear that amazing dress!! Janay takes such pride in her work and is so sweet and helpful. She will let you know what is realistic and what is not, and will do her best to make your vision a reality. She does amazing work and I will treasure the dress forever.

Dream come true!

I found Janay when I was looking for a skirt overlay for my wedding dress. I first thought I would just be ordering something from her that she would send and would work just fine. However, Janay exceeded all expectations once I met her. She helped to clean my dress as well as all alterations. She then completely designed by skirt overlay which exceeded my vision in all the right ways. Working with Janay was so comfortable. I had about five fittings leading up to my wedding and in every single fitting I left feeling so comfortable leaving my dress with Janay and trusting her with my vision. She was honest and kind when discussing areas such as my breasts, weight, and stature and offered suggestions that were truly in my best interest physically and emotionally. Janay is truly a go to for all dress needs especially custom work. I would trust her with anything!

Altered with care and love

I can’t say enough good things about Janay and her team! I got married in May 2016 and Janay transformed my base dress into something I couldn’t wait to walk down the aisle in! Her pricing was fair and the care that she and her team took at my fittings was wonderful. I felt like I was genuinely cared for and that my dress meant to them what it meant to me. Janay’s studio is an old home that has been converted into the most comforting wedding shop. I really felt like I was at home - the whole process put me such at ease. If you choose Janay, not only are you choosing care and quality, but you are supporting a wonderful local business.

Amazing Service and End Result Was Spectacular!

I don't know where to start, I have so many positive things to say about my experience with Janay! First off, I contacted her for alterations to a dress for my daughter and my wedding dress for a vow renewal my husband and I planned in Maui. The business that I had originally bought the dresses from had told me they could do the alterations we envisioned during our time selecting the dresses, just to find out at alterations they would not do them because it altered the design too much. My heart was broken as I felt like I had been duped. I happen to see a post on Facebook raving about Janay and I decided to contact her to see if she could save the day. I gave her very little time to squeeze us in and complete the alteration due to the issues at the other business. But she was very understanding, set up an appointment to go over the alterations and stepped up to the challenge! And I contacted her at the "busy time of the year" for weddings! Our dresses were beautiful and the pricing was incredibly reasonable. She made us feel like the most beautiful girls in the world. My daughter actually used her dress for not only our ceremony, but her first middle school dance as well. And she got so many complements. She did such a wonderful job, I had her alter an additional dress. I should also make the note that when I had scheduled to go back in for my 2nd dress pick up, I had put it on my calendar incorrectly and missed my original appointment. Janay could not have been more understanding. I felt horrible as she had came in on a Saturday to accommodate my schedule and I left her hanging. But she easily rescheduled with me and made no further mentioning of the issue. So professional! I will certainly be bringing future dresses to her...that is the bad thing about being shorter and no chest...I'll always need alterations! She certainly has me as a customer for life! Thanks for making our events memorable and as stress-free as possible.

Janay was absolutely amazing!

Janay completely transformed my wedding dress! When I bought my dress I didn't think it needed much other than taking it in in a few places and hemming the bottom. But Janay saw things that my mom and I didn't- she was so detailed oriented, timely, professional, kind, caring, and listened to every thought/worry we had! I would highly recommend this talented lady! She made my wedding dress amazing!

Janay did a great job!

Janay and her team did an excellent job of altering my intricate lace wedding gown, and her pricing was very reasonable considering all of the work that went into it! At my final fitting, I needed a slight change and she was able to take the dress in the back and make that small change so I could take it home that day. At her cute little studio, I was also able to purchase some gorgeous locally made jewelry and a veil to wear with my dress. I highly recommend Janay to anyone looking for a skilled seamstress to alter their wedding gown!

Janay was great to work with. She turned my off the rack dress into exactly what I envisioned. She made it fit like a glove. She was quick with the alterations and paid close attention to the details of my lace. I highly recommend her!

Love love love Janay! She was so nice and so patient with me when she altered my wedding dress! She was able to make some little changes that I didn’t even think about to help give my dress a custom made feel! She took her time and made sure I liked how my dress looked before I left and was pleased! If you are looking for alterations, BOOK HER!

Janay took my bland off-the-rack bridesmaids dress and turned it into an incredibly elegant wedding dress. I felt beautiful in my dress, it fit perfectly and I could not have been more pleased with the outcome. She was so thoughtful with how she assessed the alterations and I was blown away with her eye for the details and how much she was able to accomplish with my dress. I loved my dress and wish I could wear it every day! I highly recommend Janay to any bride looking to alter their dress or to design a custom dress.

Janay was incredible to work with. I came in worried that my gown was too big to salvage, and she worked magic to make sure it fit like a glove! She was so kind and sweet during the whole process to ease any concerns, and worked with my whole family altering their dresses as well. She has such a sweet soul and made me feel comfortable. She made my dress dreams come true!

I highly recommend Janay! She was very friendly did an awesome job on my wedding gown. My dress was strapless with a ton of tulle, lace, and beading at the bottom. She was able to hem the bottom very efficiently, add a bustle, add bra cups, and she also added lace trim to the top of my gown around all of the edges, which really added to look I was going for and was the missing touch to my dress. To all the brides who not only need their gown altered but are also thinking of adding or changing up the gown you purchased, go to Janay A Eco Bridal!

I purchased my dress off the rack (shout out to Savvy Bridal!) but it didn't fit completely so I definitely needed some alterations. I loved my dress of course but after taking my dress to Janay for alterations and once they were all complete- Wow! I loved it even more!! At the first consultation, Janay was very enthusiastic and confident about the alterations, which made me feel even more excited about my dress. She was very kind to my mom and me with every meeting and had many ideas and details to add to the dress to make it absolutely perfect. She knows exactly what looks right. It was a two piece dress and the bottom was too big- she made it fit me perfectly! She also fixed the top of my dress so that it fit more comfortably. She added beading, added beautiful trim to the bottom to make a larger and softer look to the train, took the zipper off of the back of my dress and made it more secure with clasps, added a bustle, and added a tulle petticoat to give it more flair. Over all, I loved every single detail and all of the time she put into my wedding dress :). Janay even offered to take complimentary bridal portraits for me! I would highly recommend her for any alterations. Thank you for all you did to make my dress so amazing, Janay!

I found Janay on Google as one of the top rated dress tailors in town; she did NOT disappoint! She was so sweet and fun to work with. I needed my wedding dress hemmed at the bottom and the sides taken in a bit. My dress was perfect, and I felt like a princess on my wedding day. She was prompt, friendly, professional, and relateable. 10/10 would recommend and HAVE recommended :-) I was also very impressed by her custom gowns; they're gorgeous and she has a great eye!

Janay was so amazing to work with! Janay added straps to my dress and added the bustle. Because my dress fit tight and she was THE ONLY person that was able to help me zip and button it all the way up, I also had Janay come out on my wedding day to help me get into my dress. I am so glad that I had her there on my wedding day. She steamed all of the dresses the day of the wedding, altered a bridesmaids dress straps, sewed on a groomsman button that had fallen off and even stayed to help clean and pack things up after the ceremony. MOST importantly, Janay was there to patch up my long beautiful layered train after it got caught and ripped off under the wheel of a golf cart (we were riding a golf cart to take pictures in the field). This happened 1 hour before the ceremony and I don't know what I would have done if Janay wouldn't have been there to help fix it! No one could tell that anything had happened to my dress. I am so thankful that I picked Janay for my alterations and my wedding day. I highly recommend Janay!

Janay is amazing! With only the month before my wedding, she performed alterations on almost every part of my dress. She suggested creative ways to improve the dress, and it ended up looking even better than I had imagined. She cared a lot about making sure that everything was just perfect, even replacing the zipper in two days since she noticed the original one was not very strong.
Janay is very sweet, and I very much enjoyed working with her. I'm so glad I took my dress there!

Janay did an absolutely beautiful job on my dress! I honestly had some doubts after I bought the dress about whether it was “the one” and thought about buying another, but after taking it to Janay, she transformed the dress into the dress of my dreams. It was totally perfect for the day- we had a semi-casual brunch, but as the bride, you still want to look perfect, and Janay really made me feel stunning. The dress fit like a glove, and all the changes she made were stunning. I got so many compliments, and it was so great to know NO ONE else will ever have that dress because she essentially made it one of a kind! I can not recommend her highly enough!

Janay did a wonderful job of capturing all i wanted in a wedding dress. The custom mint color that she achieved was better than i ever imagined.

Working with Janay was truly one of the most special parts of planning my wedding. We met early in the process when I was not sure what type of gown I wanted, but I knew that I wanted to use my mother's gown in some way. After the first meeting, Janay had designed a perfect gown for me --uniquely mine but re-incorporated my heirloom gown! Janay was helpful and responsive throughout the whole process and visiting her studio for fittings is one of my favorite memories from my wedding planning process. Not only is she quick to respond and wonderful to work with, she is a talented artist and she is extremely warm and fun. I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Janay A Eco bridal.

I loved working with Janay. Before walking into her shop, I was a stressed out, anxious bride with a wedding 8 weeks away and a dress that needed some delicate attention. My dress wasn't an heirloom or one that needed major reconstruction, but that didn't matter. Janay immediately treated it, and me, with the utmost respect and care. I was put at ease in her shop. She put me at ease. She has a very calming and warm presence. I felt completely confident in her ability and I was not disappointed. I had several fitting appointments with her and each time I went in she had helpful advice and styling suggestions (no necklace, clip hair bling above up-do and veil below, buy ballroom dancing shoes for comfort and stretch, use a crochet hook to help with buttons, use lots of fashion tape, to name a few). Out of all the seamstresses I took my dress to for a consultation, Janay was the only one who didn't cut corners. She buttoned every button, pinned up different bustle options, let me prance around and take lots of pictures, she fluffed tulle, she even got on the ground and hand removed lace so I could see how she would hem my gown. She does impeccable detail work and she can spot a loose bead or stray thread from a mile away. She did so many things that showed not only her experience but her attention to brides and making their dress work for them. She was very affordable, worked well within my time restriction, and she never made me feel like my wants were unattainable. I loved how my wedding dress fit, and looked, and I have Janay to thank.

Janay is so welcoming, personable and professional. She really takes the time to get to know you and help you make the alterations you want, even if you may not know what that is going in. I had never worked with a tailor before so I really didn't know what I wanted for my wedding dress, but she gave her expert opinion and helped me make my dress my own. Her space is so charming - love the cozy way she designed her studio, showcasing other local business owners jewelry and hair pieces. I even purchased my wedding jewelry at her studio. Definitely recommend!!

Janay was so easy to work with! We drove over two hours for her to work on my wedding dress and there’s a reason why, she was wonderful! I would highly recommend her to anyone!

Janay is the most important, amazing, wonderful person I know. She was kind, patient, and very fantastic at what she does. I give her the highest of praises. I would recommend her to everyone that wants a dress handmade.

Janay is absolutely wonderful! I first went to her for a bridesmaids dress and she was extremely helpful in figuring out what needed to be done. She listened to all of my concerns and helped find economically conscious solutions. The dress turned out perfectly. I was so pleased that I went back to her for my own wedding dress. I ended up buying a sample gown that was 2 sizes too big for me so there was a lot of work to be done. Not only was there a lot to be done but it was quite complex work. Janay had to resize the armholes and take off delicate lace cap sleeves and sew them back on as well as take in the more of the delicate lace from the chest, back, and rest of the gown. I was concerned that the dress might be too large and complicated to alter. Janay made is sound like it was no problem and sure enough, it turned out perfectly. The dress fit like a glove and it certainly wouldn't have been possible without Janay! Now, a month later, I went back to Janay for another bridesmaid dress and although I haven't picked it up yet, there's no doubt in my mind that it will fit perfectly. If you need alternations, I cannot recommend Janay enough. From her bright personality to her adorable shop with dedicated parking, the entire experience is always a pleasure.

Janay is a wonderfully talented designer. She custom made my dream wedding dress. She was so easy to work with and she got my vision right away. She designed an amazing retro style wedding dress for my big day. She really made me feel unique and so comfortable that I felt the most beautiful I have ever felt. Janay is truly a one of a kind. She knows how to design and make a dress that will make you feel amazing. If you want a beautiful, unique and one of a kind wedding dress, then definitely go to Janay.

Please get in touch with Janay if you want a truly unique, custom wedding gown fit to your style. My mother had saved her wedding dress for me to wear, but it needed some work to fit my personal style- Janay altered the dress on day one, and it already started looking better! She took the dress from floor length to knee length, added an invisible zipper to the back of the dress, and completely changed the sleeves. My dress was PERFECT! She also makes custom jewelry so I was able to buy a beautiful necklace and matching earrings to wear with my dress.

Working with Janay was absolutely wonderful. We were only able to communicate over the phone and mostly via email and many many pictures. It's not easy to describe exactly what you want in your dress when you can't see it in person and lay your hands on it. But Janay was so patient and positive. We sent sketches back and forth and photos of fabric swatches and patterns. I'd tell her what I liked and she'd make wonderful suggestions that I hadn't even thought of. The collaboration was so much fun.

She has a really personal touch and you can tell she really connects with the brides she works with. I received a sweet little teal colored hand written note describing enclosed fabric swatches and ribbon. It even had a little applique glued on the front of the note as decoration (which wound up being a big element in the back of my dress.

My wedding dress was perfectly suited to me. It was MY dress. Personality, style, talioring. All of it. I could not have had that without Janay.

Janay is the absolute best. There are just not enough good things to say about her, whether as an artist, designer, businessperson, or all around good human being. My (one-of-a-kind, sustainable, gorgeous) dress was SO reasonably priced for the stellar quality gown that she designed and created for me, and any time I had a question she was super quick to answer via email.

As soon as you enter her studio, you can feel her warm, loving energy and see her lovely work all around you. You can just tell that a line of happy people have been flowing in and out of there since the day she opened her business. [As an aside: Janay is an inclusive vendor, which was really important to me and my (now) wife, so LGBTIA folks, please don't hesitate to reach out to her. She will not let you down!!] She also happily accommodated my bridesmaids in her small space, who came along on every trip I made to her studio! I had a rough idea of what I wanted in a gown, but as I talked and Janay sketched, I could see a work of art blossom on the page in front of me. Janay made the design process completely painless and patiently worked with a ridic work travel schedule that meant I needed to space out my fittings more than most people probably would. She also had great ideas and flawless execution of them: my dress fit and floated around like a dream on the day of our wedding and I got what felt like a million compliments.

I would have expected a custom-made gown to cost at least double what I paid, and to have had the opportunity to meet such a wonderful person in the process was a truly unexpected but beautiful gift. Thanks, Janay! You're a gem. <3

I can not say enough wonderful things about Janay and her WONDERFUL work. I came to her with quite a project to turn my mother's wedding dress into something of my own. Janay had a vision from the beginning and it turned out well beyond my expectations for my dress. She left enough of my mom's style, but build me a dress to fit me and my style. Seriously amazing. This experience was so fun for my mom and I to go through together and I would recommend this to anyone debating doing the same.

Janay altered my wedding gown and one of our flower girl dresses, and I could not have been more pleased with my experience. First of all, she is just a lovely person and great to work with. She is also so, so talented. My gown turned out absolutely perfectly, and thanks to some of the work she did, it was so comfortable! She also worked with my mom and mother-in-law to add a really meaningful surprise element to my gown. Finally, I found the most perfect, one-of-a-kind vintage/handmade accessories in her shop. I'm SO GLAD we found Janay A Eco Bridal!

I cannot say 1 negative thing about Janay. I brought pictures of 3 different dresses and she designed and created the dress of my dreams out of a free dress I received elsewhere. She created the dress in the very short time frame she had before I moved. She ombre dyed the underneath and hand strung pearls across the back of my dress. She even did some extra detailed lace trim across the bottom that I wasn't sure about but turned out to love so very much and so happy that she strongly advised to me to do so! She sent me picture text messages to keep my posted throughout the process and asking my opinion on different options. I never imagined that I would be able to afford a custom dress on my budget but she made it happen and I am beyond grateful for her. I would recommend her to any and everybody!

The dress! Everyone wants to know about the dress and you want to feel amazing in it. I did a little bit of shopping but I knew I wanted something that was all mine and I wanted some sentiment woven in. I had 2 feet of lace from my mother's dress that I wanted it incorporated into my dress. I found Janay and was instantly attracted to her business approach. A custom design with eco-friendly fabrics, it sounded like a dream! As a designer myself I was very excited to work with her to create this dress. My mom and I visited her studio for our first consultation. I showed her tons of pictures... I like this neckline, this train, these sleeves, this bodice, I thought this veil was nice.... as I was talking, Janay was sketching. The next thing I knew my dress was on her paper. It was so obviously my dress! Then she started to drape her beautiful organic cotton and silk hemp with my mother's lace around the bodice. I couldn't believe how she had perfectly captured my vision, but was I really going to invest in something I had never seen? It was nerve-wrecking but I knew it was the right decision.

Next came my official sketch, then she took my measurements and then finally the first fitting came! She spent 3 hours pinning and draping the fabrics to perfectly hug my body in all the right ways. I truly felt like Cinderella! Every time I thought we were done "designing" the dress she would present more options. Which lace trim? How long should the cap sleeve be? Do you like this belt or this belt? Time to cut the train, how long? It was so much fun to help make all of these decisions!

After 2 more fittings my dress was perfect and I had made a new friend. Janay is so personable and caring. She is not just a dress designer, she is a visionary with big dreams! I am so glad I had the opportunity to work with her and support her journey. If you have found Janay, look no further and let this designer make your dress dreams come true!

While marrying the love of my life was my favorite part of our wedding, a close second was the process of creating my custom gown with Janay! After several frustrated nights looking at off-the-rack gowns online and crying to my mom that "These just don't look like me!" she found Janay A Eco Bridal online.

I'm 3 hours away, so I met with Janay via Skype and within a matter of minutes I knew this was the right decision! She listened intently about the colorful dress I envisioned and created a beautiful sketch. I enjoyed the intimate, personal experience of the fittings in her cute boutique - I never felt rushed or criticized or judged, just encouraged and listened to. The resulting dress was even prettier than I could have ever imagined. I never saw myself as a typical bride, but to be honest I was quite sad when I had to take the dress off!

You owe it to yourself to check out Janay's work. She is creative, kind and determined that you look and feel your best on your big day!

I found a vintage wedding dress at Donna's Dress Shop and Janay helped fit it to me, update it, and put the most beautiful final touches on it. She is incredibly kind, patient and knowledgeable, and she does exceptional work. Janay was really good to sit down with me and talk about what subtle changes we could make to improve upon the dress, without taking away its vintage charm. She got to know my personality and she suggested changes to fit my preferences. She is super thorough and an absolute ball to work with. She additionally helped me in a veil crisis about two weeks before my wedding. My hair dresser and I couldn't get it to stay on my head so I contacted Janay and she let me drop by and fixed it right then and there for me. I couldn't have asked for anyone more pleasant and dependable to work with. I love Janay and so will you!

Janay is my go-to for almost everything! She helped me alter my wedding dress for my wedding abroad. Janay understood my vision, what looked best on my body shape and gave me excellent tips when traveling with my dress. Janay also did alterations on a bridesmaid dress I had purchased and it fit amazing the day of the event. I have modeled Janay's designs for numerous events and I can honestly say she is one of the best at her craft. I recommend her for every bride.

Janay made my wedding dress alteration experience so easy and fun! She is such a wonderful person to work with and really wants what YOU want. Her level of professionalism is off the charts, and all the while she remains so down to earth throughout the whole process. I'm so glad I had her trustworthy eyes and hands to work on my dress which needed lots of taking in and hemming haha! I would highly recommend you go to her to make your dream dress fit like it was custom made just for you :)

Janay was wonderful to work with! She performed the alterations on my wedding dress and even added a little bit of personal flair by adding colored tulle. She also did the alterations for my two bridesmaids personalizing the dresses to them and making great suggestions on a belt to add. Finally, I bought my bridesmaid's pearl earings from her that they love.

I took my BHLDN dress to Janay for alterations as I had a vision for my once boring dress. She helped me make the best decisions for the dress to fit the event and my style. It turned out absolutely perfect and looked amazing on the big day! The best part is that she works quickly, so the long term waiting to get your dress back isn't too bad! I highly recommend Janay, especially if you are looking for something special and unique that you can't find in standard bridal shops. She is awesome to work with and makes the entire process easy!

I cannot begin to express how grateful I am for all of Janay's help. I brought her a dress that I had purchased during a previous engagement that ended. Five years later I found the try love of my life, but I still loved the lace of the dress. Janay was able to help in recreating the dress by adding a new top to it ... the work itself was so seamless that it looked like a completely new dress (and much more my style!). Not only that but Janay was professional, kind and encouraging through the whole process. Her studio is cozy and you get the impression that she loves her work from the moment you walk in. I will/have recommended her to every bride that I know. I felt absolutely beautiful and unique on my wedding thanks to her delicate and creative work!

I had already purchased a wedding dress when I found out about Janay. I met with her and waffled quite a bit on whether I wanted to just alter the dress I had or have her create me a new one. She was so nice and accommodating with my changing wishes, and when I ended up choosing to stick with the dress I already had, she did a wonderful job altering it for me. She did more than alter it, she offered great suggestions on some changes to the dress that ended up making it even more flattering... stuff I never would have thought of like redoing the bust line differently. My dress turned out perfect! I also saw some of the dresses she created herself in her shop... and everything I saw was gorgeous!!

I can't express in words how beautiful Janay made my Mom's wedding dress into the perfect wedding dress for me on my big day. Janay kept all the important pieces/structure as we wanted them for the dress and altered the pieces that needed to be in order to fit me better. I also loved the wedding dress belts and jewelry Jany had in her shop and used them both for my big day as well! Janay was always willing to be flexible when scheduling fittings and always took pictures during the fitting so my Mom and I will have these pictures of us together during the alteration process as something we will cherish forever as Janay made my Mom's old dress, new, just for me :)

Check out her handmade gowns too, they're incredible!

I cannot express how happy I was with Janay's work. She took an off the rack dress and made it into a custom masterpiece. I came in with very specific ideas of what I wanted and she was able to make them all a reality. Additionally, she was able to provide insight and her expertise to build upon ideas that I already had. My dress was everything I had hoped it would be and one of my favorite things about my wedding. I would recommend anyone who wants to alter an existing dress or have a custom dress made work with Janay. She is talented, kind, and beyond easy to work with. She was even able to make a custom tie for my husband from fabric used in my dress.

Finally, it is worth noting that I live in Chicago and was able to get a dress of my dreams with only 2 simple visits to KC.

Without a single hesitation, I recommend Janay to anyone who wants something more out of their wedding dress!

I was in the market for a wedding dress but my criteria was unconventional. It was my second wedding, I'm a mom of two kids, and my figure is very matronly (*cough*). Janay was able to address to all my concerns magnificently! I couldn't have been happier.

Janay recreated my family heirloom wedding dress so that I could be the 4th bride to wear my grandmother's dress from 1956. She did a wonderful job of giving me ideas for how the recreated dress could look, since I wasn't sure what would work best. She was very patient while I made the final decisions on the design, helpful when I wanted her opinion, and was always willing to show me a rough draft of what she had in mind. The dress turned out beautifully, and was the absolute star of our wedding day. It fit me perfectly and I was so happy to show off her amazing work. Imagine my grandmother's joy when seeing her dress made to fit me 58 years later: priceless! THANK YOU Janay!

Janay made my wedding dress using lace from my mom's dress and making my 'dream dress' a reality. Every fitting was efficient and fun. She captured my vision and made it better than I could have imagined. Janay was a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend her for your wedding dress!

If you are shopping for a wedding dress, look no further. Seriously, don't even go to a bridal gown shop. Have your dress custom made by Janay! The cost is virtually the same as purchasing a pre-made dress, and the benefits are incredible. First, it feels amazing and is truly light and airy. Cotton is the way to go! It also doesn't look like cotton, if that's a concern of yours. Second, no one else has or will ever wear a dress like yours. You can incorporate your sense of style in it. Third, it will be the best decision you ever made about your wedding.

I live out of state and Skyped with Janay. I had some concepts of what I wanted but wasn't totally sure. She took my ideas and transformed them into an ethereal creation. Within minutes she was sketching via Skype and showed me my dream dress. Weeks later, I received a more thorough sketch with fabric swatches. She sent me an extensive measurements list to get from a local seamstress. After I sent her the measurements, she created the dress. She was incredibly accomodating, as I would only be in Kansas City around Thanksgiving. During that four day time period, I had three fittings. She worked tirelessly within those days to do what takes most people months. It was incredible.

It also was a really special experience. I've been in other bridal shops while a friend tries a dress on, and typically you have to wait to use the mirror, you hear women talking about their wedding, and you feel like just another bride. At Janay's, you are the only one there, and the shop has a vintage eclectic feel. You feel like you're going to a ball!

So how was the dress? AMAZING. I've received compliments for weeks following my wedding. Everyone was astounded by it. I will definitely be using Janay again to transform my wedding dress into an everyday dress I can wear forever. Highly, HIGHLY recommend.

Janay is a genius!! I sat down with her after having a miserable experience at the big bridal salon. We spent two hours looking at dozens of photos and talking about body type and fabrics. She sketched out for me the dress of my dreams and made it into reality! She finished it early for me since I was moving three months before the wedding. It fit perfectly!!! She even dyed the tulle a gold sparkle! Everyone at the wedding loved my dress, it was perfect!!!

I can't thank Janay and her staff enough. My dress was a dream come true... I had a vision in mind that I carried to Janay Handmade and a couple weeks later a sketch was prepared and the sewing began. The use of the organic cottons, the tea dyed colors, the overlay of lace and the small delicate details were simple gorgeous! It was exactly what I envisioned walking down the isle.
My expectations were not just met, they were surpassed. The added bonus: The fact that my dress was designed to re-purpose into an evening type gown later is just a brilliant idea! Thank you , thank you, thank you Janay and staff!

Janay did a wonderful job helping me update an older dress to make it on trend and beautiful for me on my big day. Would not hesitate to recommend her.

Janay was fabulous! She understood the importance that my dress had in our grand scheme such as being "green" and able to use in more than one way after the wedding. She didn't laugh when I told her I wanted fringe and for it to be tea-dyed. She totally got me! I loved her so much that I had her design a second dress for me for a formal event my husband and I were attending. She does excellent workmanship in a friendly atmosphere. I loved the dress and she even met my husband's requirement - cleavage (LOL) - without making me feel uncomfortable. She did a great job and is a true artist and just a gem of a person!

Janay is absolutely fabulous. I came to her with the amount of money I could spend and she worked with me to make the dress of my dreams. I wasn't falling in love with any dresses I could afford at the bridal shops...and I'm SO glad I didn't settle for anything else, because the dress Janay made is one-of-a-kind, just for me! It fit me perfectly, of course. Since she specializes in eco-friendly fabrics, my dress was made from hemp silk. Her signature dyed tulle petticoat was a popular touch!

Janay also made custom dresses for my bridesmaids. They cost just as much as cookie-cutter dresses from a shop would have...only again, custom, just for my girls! Janay designed every single dress with our feedback.

I would recommend Janay to every bride. There's no better feeling than wearing a dress that's totally YOURS.

I have only absolutely wonderful things to say about Janay since I first met her. The entire dress process has been a blast. She thinks outside the box and is full of creativity and class. All of my appointments happened right on time. Her communication with me was flawless. I’ve loved every minute of it.

Janay made my dream dress!

Janay met or exceeded all of my hopes and expectations for a dress designer. First of all, she's probably the only eco-bridal dressmaker in the region, so I was very lucky she's nearby. She understood my rather unusual and nontraditional ideas for my dress and designed it "from scratch," just for me. She also provided my garter and veil free of charge. She helped me turn my dream dress into reality - and it was eco-friendly to boot!

Janay was incredible to work with throughout the process. I reached out to her relatively late, but she still made it happen. She did a fantastic job of creating a beautiful, one-of-a-kind dress. Simple, organic, elegant, and the fit perfectly. I highly recommend Janay A Handmade.

Janay made my wedding dress, a flower for my hair and garter. I came to her with pictures of dresses I liked and could never afford, and she designed a beautiful dress that would accommodate my budget. She is a true talent! She suggested adding details I never could have imagined that really made the dress come together. I not only got to see my dream dress become a reality, but I really enjoyed visiting Janay for dress fittings. She is just the sweetest person with a real desire to make her brides look beautiful!

Janay A. Handmade was, by far, a wonderful choice when it came to my wedding gown alterations and accessories. Janay did a fantastic job on everything and really made sure to create pieces that fit me as an individual. I had her alter my dress and create my veil, ring bearer pillow, keeper and throw garters, and the feathery, fabric flower for my hair. She did amazing on all of the pieces that she created. I had so many compliments on not only my dress, but my accessories as well. The flower for my hair was just beautiful and truly a one of a kind. Janay altered my dress to fit not only my body type, but my taste as well. She even added a light pink toole to the bottom part of the dress that you couldn't see from just looking at the dress, but was a fun pop of color for the pictures of the garter toss, my shoe shots, and dancing. Janay is talented, creative, and also the sweetest person you could ever meet. Her work was incredible and I would have been impressed with her work alone, but she was an absolute pleasure to work with. I loved going to her shop for alterations to see the progress she had made and also to visit with her. We had a blast every alteration. She is an amazing woman. I would recommend her to anyone for their wedding dress and accessory needs.... and I have. My sister used her as well. We love Janay A. Handmade!

Where do I begin to even rate my experience with Janay? Simply put, she is phenomenal in every way. Choosing her to make my wedding gown was the best decision I made throughout my entire wedding experience. I was a little nervous about not taking the traditional route to find a gown, but I am so very glad that I took a chance and did something different. What I ended up with was a stunning hand-made one-of-a-kind gown with custom touches, a ring bearer pillow made out my mom's wedding dress and the same fabric as my dress, a gorgeous hairpiece, clutches for my girls and matching ties for all the men. I also ended up with a new friend :)

Janay is warm and inviting, beyond sweet and puts you instantly at ease. Making your dreams come true is her only motivation and she goes above and beyond to make them happen. She's easy to work with and always has a smile on her face.
Her talent speaks for itself. She is an amazing designer and seamstress. I seriously could go on and on for days singing her praises.

At the end of the day, I simply cannot imagine getting married in another dress. She made everything I wanted come to life. My dad told me I was radiant and my husband said it was the most beautiful dress he has ever seen. Don't get the idea that this is out of your budget, either. We had a modest budget for our wedding and I was able to have my dream dress for a price I could afford. Janay is very willing to work with you on the cost and make something you can cherish forever. I honestly don't want to have my dress preserved...I want to have it framed and hang it on the wall in my house! It's truly a work of art. I hate the idea of putting it in a box where no one can see it!

To wrap up, I would say this. If you want a lot of personal touches in your wedding and want a dress that's beyond special, do not hesitate to hire Janay. She will make something so magical for you that by the end of your wedding, you will feel truly honored that she worked with you. I know that I do.

Janay Andrews is about as amazing as they come. I had a vintage dress that I wanted remade into something more modern and fun. Janay thought that it would be a great project and she took my ideas and ran with them. I told her exactly what I wanted it to look like, she drew it out, we made minor adjustments and then she created it. It could not have been any closer to what I was looking for if she had pulled it directly from my head. Being that my dress was a darker cream due to its age, Janay went to New York and was able to find a material that matched perfectly. The cost was very reasonable and actually less than I would have paid to buy the pre-made dress that I had found in a bridal shop. She was always professional and fun to chat with and I would recomend her to anyone who is wanting a unique dress that no one else has.

I LOVED working on my wedding dress with Janay! And of course I LOVED my dress. : ) I have received so many compliments on it and I know I have a beautiful, one-of-a-kind, original dress to cherish forever.

I live 3 hours away from Janay and she was very flexible with my schedule and fittings. I visited her once to talk about what I was looking for in my dress, we came up with a plan, then I visited her soon after for my fitting. She made a final alteration on my dress while I was there so I wouldn't have to make an extra trip. I couldn't believe how easy it was to find my dress with Janay, when I thought it would be the hardest part of my wedding planning! (I am 5'1" and trying on gowns at bridal chains was a nightmare--nothing for my size/height. Alterations alone would have cost more than my dress!) The best part about my dress is that it is three pieces: an embellished belt, a top and a skirt--so I can even wear any of them again separately. Janay also made me adorable clutches for my maid of honor/bridesmaids, a sexy-cute matching garter, and a stole, because I had a spring wedding. And my cathedral length veil was the icing on the cake!

If I didn't love my husband so much, I'd get married again just to work with Janay on another dress. : )

Janay is super creative, flexible and a great listener. Not only is she style savvy, she is smart about costs, the ecologic impacts, and what true love looks and feels like. She, in every fashion, rocks.

If you are looking for a creative, sweet, and eco-chic wedding dress designer then Janay is your girl! Like a true visionary she worked with me to understand my "dream dress" and like magic she had it. Dramatic, figure flattering, and fun. My favorite part is the dress is all-a-flutter with a feathery and dainty leaf texture! All completely one-of-a kind. Plus, she was accomodating of my budget needs without limiting creativity. She also had great recommendations for shoes, accessories, and other hip and local wedding vendors.
p.s. Did I mention the dress even has hidden pockets?! So cool.

If it is originality you are seeking, Janay is your go-to-girl; she took what was a cookie cutter store window display dress, and catered it to my style, adding fun details (think wasabi green tulle underlay) and sparkle galore! I could NOT be more pleased with the end result... I actually teared up when she presented it to me. No only did Janay bring my dress to life, she offered suggestions for photographers and florists. She truly knows all of the tricks of the trade when it comes to weddings, and I will be forever grateful for her expertise and suggestions. She ALSO helped make suggestions as to what jewelry and shoes would be best suited for my dress. Janay is truly above and beyond. She is not only an amazing designer, but a truly caring individual who will do all in her power to make sure your special day is above and beyond even your greatest expectations. Janay, thank you so much. I will forever hold all that you have done for me in planning my big day in my heart.

I'm not the type of gal who wanted a huge wedding dress with millions of layers and fluff. I had a really terrible time dress shopping, as you can imagine, until I met Janay. We originally planned to make a custom design dress, which fit exactly what I was looking for. She did an amazing job listening to what I wanted and creating a sketch of my vision. Then, I found my mothers wedding dress from the 70s with little expectation that anything could be done to make it more modern without ruining it. When I took it to Janay, she listened to my ideas about how we could alter it to make it perfect for my wedding day and had amazing suggestions of how to maintain its integrity through the alteration process. She was completely honest about things that could not be fixed and always had a work-around for something I didn't like. She was diligent in making sure everything about the dress was exactly what I wanted and I can say that she far exceeded my expectations as the dress turned out exactly what I was looking for. She even took some of the left over material that was cut off the sleeves of the dress and made a beautiful hair clip for me to wear in lieu of a veil. It was so very special for my mom and I to share the same dress and Janay absolutely made that happen for us. I got so many compliments at the wedding on the dress and I can never thank Janay enough for making a very special dress a true gift for my wedding day.

I took Janay my mom's handmade wedding dress. She made it in '77, and passed away 10 years ago. You can imagine my hesitation to hand over this priceless dress to someone to alter it for me (although I very much wanted to wear it and have it changed from 1970s mode to modern). Janay was flawless in her approach - she was supportive, understanding, and flexible with me, my concerns, and my fears. She made a beautiful 'new' dress - it was/is a perfect memorial to my mom. I was able to wear her handmade dress, memorialize her, but also able to make it my own. janay is incredible in her talents - not only sewing but in finding the hidden treasure that you are desperately seeking. She is incredible!
