    Wonderful, skilled, dedicated

    I wish I could give Natali 10 stars. This woman is incredible. She is so dedicated to her work and so skilled. Firstly, I left my bridal shop after getting my dress in tears because of the way the dress fit. The boning in the breast region was too pointed and the waist was too small such that it created a horrible muffin top. At my first fitting, Natali knew just by looking at me in the dress how to fix it, and continued to make me feel heard as I explained my concerns with the dress. Ultimately I ended up so happy and loved my dress! Then there was the veil. I had a strong vision of how I wanted to create my veil using my mother’s long veil and the lace from her dress. Natali meticulously cut each piece of lace and placed them on the veil, then let me spend hours moving each piece to where I wanted them (with her expert input), sewed them in with such care and created a magical heirloom piece for me. I am endlessly grateful to her (as is my mom) for working so hard on that veil.

    Incredibly talented and creative seamstress!

    I highly recommend hiring Natali! She is exceptionally skilled and creative. I purchased my dress from a used wedding dress shop. I was happy with it and brought it to Natali for relatively minor alterations, but she told me she had a vision for the skirt and I am so happy I went with it. She essentially reconstructed much of the skirt including changing the placement of the layers and redoing the bustle. It went from looking somewhat heavy to appearing light, flowy, and airy. She of course altered the top to fit perfectly as well. Throughout the process I felt like she was very invested in helping me look as beautiful as possible and she truly cared about me. She also altered my sister and mother's dresses and they looked wonderful. We are definitely going back for my sister's wedding next year!

    Beautiful dress, made even more beautiful by Juliya's

    The owner, Natali, is an exceptionally skilled seamstress and you can tell that she takes immense pride in her work. My dress needed to be shortened and taken in all around, and she made it fit like a glove. She very graciously handled my last-minute panic about where the waistline was hitting me, and was able to accommodate me for an extra fitting where she magically resolved my concerns.

    An unbeatable choice for your wedding alterations/tailoring!

    Juliya was very helpful during our initial consultation and did an incredible job on the alteration and customization work for my wedding dress. She was very kind and held my hand when dealing with multiple panicked phone calls about undergarments, quickly resolved a handful of minor tweak requests, and went out of her way to make my intricately embroidered/beaded illusion-backed dress work for me. She is an absolute pleasure to work with and will not steer you wrong when it comes to your gown!

    Exceeded expectations

    I had a couture gown from Bridals by Lori in Atlanta and obviously was not trying to travel to and from Atlanta multiple times to alter my dress & this shop did such a flawless job between the fit, hemming & bustle. My dress was so complicated with lots of layers and lace and I was so worried about placing it in the wrong hands, but they know exactly how to work on these dresses. So beyond happy with my dress and will definitely be returning to her shop for any future alterations for other events

    Incredible work!

    Natali was amazing and was so detailed orientated. She worked to ensure that my dress was absolutely perfect and made corrections and alternations that I didn't even know the dress needed or were possible. I would absolutely recommend Natali and Juliya's Custom Tailoring to any bride or anyone needing alterations.

    Restored 60 year old gown

    Juliya was so amazing to work with. She helped take my grandmother's wedding dress, which my mom also wore, and turn it into something special and unique for my day. It feels like my own dress, even though I'll be the third generation to wear it. I showed Juliya the original and she knew exactly how to transform it. She also took a piece of my sister's first communion dress and applied it to a jean jacket so I will have a piece of her with me on my wedding day too. Juliya is really making our wedding day so special and I am so grateful!

    Thank you for these kind words, Kathryn! We would love to see some photos once they are available :) Congratulations!!!

    Highly recommend!

    Juliya took my dress from liking it to loving it! Everything was perfect from start to finish. She was totally confident that she could make the changes to my dress which included hemming, picking up the shoulder, and creating a bustle. I also loved how easy to was to get on her books for appointments and everything was completed according to plan and ahead of schedule. I see some people have discussed price, and where Juliya's quote was higher than most, the alterations wasn't an area I was looking to pinch pennies in so I am very pleased with my final result.

    Lifesaver!

    The title says it all - Juliya was a lifesaver!! I got my dress from a bridal shop that was going out of business, so of course I needed alterations (dress was 2 sizes too big). My dress has a ton of detail - I’m talking beading, sequins, lace, you name it. I had originally called a different place for alterations located closer to me, but was turned away because there was too much detail. I was in tears. So I called up Juliya’s and she told me she would do it, and that she was not afraid of detail; she does it all the time.

    Fast forward to the fittings. Ten minutes into the first fitting, Juliya had put a few pins in and it was like a whole new dress! Two months later and bam, perfect fit!

    I cannot express how impressed and happy I am to have worked with Juliya. All of our vendors were great, but she truly made me feel like a bride. Thank you!!

    Experienced seamstress

    Juliya did a fantastic job altering my wedding dress. I went in for two fittings and walked out with a dress fitted just for me. It looked beautiful.

    Juliya is amazing!

    I bought my dress and veil from K&B Bridals and Juliya is on their list of recommended seamstresses. I was so unsure of how to find a seamstress because after spending so much on your dream dress, it scares you to think that not all know what they are doing as well as others. I was so happy that Juliya was on that list and little did I know all that Juliya had to offer when I first met her!

    I worked with Juliya for over a year. We first met when my wedding was scheduled for July 2020 and she began to alter my dress. Her shop is absolutely adorable and very well kept. Juliya is extremely professional and is so sweet! My mom and I would always look forward to our trips to Stevenson to see Juliya because we just enjoyed talking and spending time with her! My dress had to be taken in as well as a hem added. The bottom had a scalloped edge making this extremely difficult. Juliya told me it took her 5 hours just to take apart the bottom part of my dress! What she does just amazes me! By June, my dress fit me like a glove and looked like it was made for me! At this point, we had to postpone to July 2021 and Juliya did not let us down here either. She was so flexible and comforting. I took the dress but we added an extra appointment a few months before my new date so that she could ensure that the dress would still fit perfectly for out big day!

    I really cannot thank Juliya enough for all that she has done! My dress was gorgeous and an absolute DREAM. She truly is the best at what she does and I could not imagine taking my wedding dress or any future dresses to anyone else!

    Juliya’s was a life saver!

    I found out the day before my first appointment that my original seamstress whom I had had booked for months came down with Covid and was unable to do my dress. This was 2 months before my wedding and I was panicking! I found out about Juliya’s through the bridal shop I bought my gown at and she was so nice and squeezed me in that weekend. She was so accommodating and efficient with the short notice and short amount of time there was to do my dress. She did a phenomenal job! My dress fit perfectly and looked incredible! I highly recommend her to everyone!

    Wonderful experience with each fitting!

    Juliya was very helpful during the initial consultation, and she completed the alterations for my dress with just two fittings! I’m not a huge fan of bustles but she was able to create one for my dress that is lovely and practical. I can’t wait to wear the dress in just a few weeks!

    Juliya is consultant, seamstress, and magician wrapped all in one.

    Where to begin? I fell in love with (ok, ok, my now-husband first, but then) THE DRESS. Simple, elegant, Sporty Spice meets 1930s-screen-siren chic. No lace, no beads, no bling, THE FIT WAS EVERYTHING, and I am, have always been, and will always be pear shaped. Juliya is consultant, seamstress, and magician wrapped all in one. She helped me choose the right size dress to purchase, then took the entire thing in from the waist up, gave me some realistic padding up top (thank you very much), gave the gown an invisible bustle, and did everything so seamlessly (no pun intended) that it looked untouched! She also helped me select my veil, took the dress in again when I lost weight, and did all of this during a pandemic, keeping herself, me, and her other clients safe while helping make our dreams come true. With THE DRESS tailored perfectly to my own body, I felt comfortable, confident, and beautiful on our wedding day, and I wish the same feeling for every bride. Thank you Juliya!

    So thankful for Juliya!

    Juliya was simply amazing. She added sleeves to my dress, created a beautiful bustle, and details to the dress to not only make it very pretty, but also made it fit and feel better. I was just so happy with the way it turned out, after being nervous about all the changes. Thank you for making my dress what I wanted and helping make the process simple and less stressful. She also made my mom feel great about her dress as well!

    Seriously amazing

    I got married October 12, 2019. I realized I wrote so many reviews for my vendors and neglected writing something for my alterations. I’m so mad at myself that I forgot. Anyway let me just say Juliya is AMAZING! I purchased a dress from David’s bridal that I really liked, but had so many ideas to change things about it. Juliya not only praised my ideas and changes, she also made me feel so so good (she knows how to give a compliment.) she turned my dress into a fairytale, I couldn’t be more grateful for her. I brought my mom with me to my second fitting and she was so impressed and even asked Juliya what it would cost to steam her garment for the wedding. Juliya then stated not to even worry about it she would steam it free of charge. I would not recommend anyone else for alterations. Trust me, Juliya not only does a fantastic job, she is also very reasonable, and even though she deals with so many brides she makes you feel so damn special!

    Juliya saved my dress!

    I can't recommend Juliya enough!! When I received my wedding dress the fit was all off--especially too small in the bust--and I thought it was beyond saving. As a last ditch effort I took it to Juliya and she immediately made me feel at ease--with just a few pins and creative solutions at the consultation it was clear she would be able to salvage the dress. Over the next several appointments she did much more than that--she made it more flattering, comfortable, and supportive and honestly shaped it into the dress of my dreams. She is truly a perfectionist and master of her craft and doesn't hesitate to make suggestions that you didn't even know were possible. On top of that, she is a genuinely wonderful person--she even rushed part of my alterations so my mom could see it when she was in town on a last minute trip. Juliya absolutely lives up to the hype and I loved being able to trust her completely with my wedding dress.

    Juliya is magical!

    Juliya is a phenomenal tailor and was an absolute delight to work with. My fiancé and I decided to have a very quick engagement, and I was able to buy my wedding dress less than two weeks before our wedding. I came to Juliya on a Wednesday, asking if she could hem my dress within a week and a half. She had it finished by Monday, less than a week from when I brought it to her! She did a phenomenal job hemming it, and she also had incredibly helpful observations about which sash and veil to choose. She is incredibly professional and clearly has years of experience, but she was also so warm, supportive, and happy for me and my fiancé, and she wanted to do whatever she could to help us arrange things in time for our wedding. She was a joy to work with, and I'll be coming back to her in December with a bridesmaid dress to be altered--though I'll be sure to leave more time for alterations this time around. Thanks for everything, Juliya!

    She is a wedding dress wizard!

    I bought a dress 1 size up because I was told it would be easier to take in than let out. However, that meant I was swimming in the dress in many areas before Juliya worked her magic.
    Juliya was responsive and accommodating to my schedule and really worked within a rather tight timeframe to get my dress done (I took it to her June 15 and she had everything including the bustle done by August 8). Juliya doesn't require a deposit and was very upfront about her estimates.
    Juliya was very creative. I was feeling a bit flat-chested in my dress and she used one of my bras, cut it up, and hid it in my dress to give me the curves/cleavage I wanted.
    I could tell Juliya put her heart and soul into my dress when she teared up handing me my dress after the final fitting.
    I HIGHLY RECOMMEND JULIYA!

    Juliya was amazing and professional. Her work is flawless and she works very quickly. She is so sweet and helps you to look your best in anything you need.

    Talented and Affordable Alterations!

    Juliya was absolutely wonderful to work with! I contacted her about a month before my wedding, and she was able to fit me into her schedule. I needed her to take in my very ornate wedding dress, and she did the most amazing job! The dress had a corset top with lots of flower appliques and tons of layers, so I was worried it would take forever to alter and cost a million dollars. Juliya had it done with time to spare and it was way less than I expected to pay. I HIGHLY recommend going to Juliya for all of your alteration needs!!!

    Juliya is amazing!

    I needed my wedding dress bustled and cups placed and found Juliya here on Wedding Wire. She did a phenomenal job, was very communicative, her prices were great, and she was very pleasant and easy to work with. I plan to use her on any future alterations or tailoring. I highly recommend!
