Angela D. Sent on 05/24/2022The best in the business!
Laura’s Couture was recommended to me by my wedding planner and I’m so glad I chose them! My dress needed a lot of alterations (tightening the straps, reducing the cup sizes, letting out the hips, hemming, and adding a bustle) and it was beaded from top to bottom. Everything was executed to perfection! They were so professional and helpful at each fitting. They even went above and beyond to help my sister (and matron of honor) whose dress was so poorly hemmed by a different tailor. It was a week before my wedding and they fixed the hem within hours! Truly a remarkable team! -

Restored my family heirloom dress!
Wearing my family dress (both my mother's and my grandmother's, an original Alfred Angelo from the 1950s) was my lifelong dream, but when my mom and I un-boxed it shortly after my engagement, I almost lost hope upon realizing how much work it needed.
I took it to a few different places in Houston, getting responses like "I can take the entire thing apart and try to make a new dress" and "I could do it for three times your budget," before I found Laura Couture and Alterations. The first time I took my dress in, Karime helped me believe for the first time that it was both possible, and affordable.
Not only did she restore it -- including delicate lace and a horsehair-supported peplum -- she altered it in a way keeping with my personality and vision: taking off the sleeves, cutting down the neckline to be something more comfortable and flattering, and adding boning and cups for support. Karime's alterations made my dress feel like *mine,* and it was so beautiful (and functional) for my big day! I am so, so grateful to Laura Couture and Alterations and so impressed by their work. -

I came to Laura in a rush as my dress needed alterations one week prior to my wedding day! She went above and beyond to put me at ease and work her magic! My dress turned out beautiful and it wouldn't have been possible if it wasn't for her hard work! Thank you!! -

Angelina Sent on 01/03/2018Laura’s Couture and Alterations was absolutely AMAZING to work with! Her team transformed my sample Galia Lahav Gown from Ivory Bridal Atelier into an unforgettable sight. I picked a Galia Lahav dress, “Odette” but wanted the “Ms. Elle” gown by the same designer. However, due to my budget I could not. I took my Odette gown to their alteration boutique and they transformed my dress into the most beautiful wedding dress I had ever seen and I couldn’t tell the difference between the Ms. Elle and the oroginal Odette I had purchased. In my first photo, it shows a model wearing Ms. Elle, then what my original dress looked like (Odette) and finally with the added lace and newly placed straps and even new sheer where there was a hole, my dress as a finished product followed by other photos of me in it

User2600753 Sent on 05/08/2016Laura's Couture & Alterations did a fabulous job altering my wedding dress. They are clearly extremely knowledgeable regarding wedding dress alterations. They were confident in the work that needed to be done to the dress and were able to convince me to do all of the right things when I was a little unsure (ex: how tight to make the strapless dress, how long to make the dress so I could walk but it still skimmed the ground). The dress worked out perfectly. I was super comfortable and was able to dance all night. I got so many compliments on the dress and it was in big part because Laura's did such a great job making sure it fit me perfectly. They were really expensive, but worth every penny. -
User2559025 Sent on 03/22/2016After researching a legit place to have my wedding gown altered and customize, noticed after reading the reviews from Laura's Couture, this would be THE PLACE! I did not want to get my dress altered/customized at the bridal salon where I purchased my gown, because their style seemed a bit odd, along with other cons I which to not discuss.
I made an appt with Laura's Couture Alterations and immediately when I put my gown on they treated my like a queen. Their style, note-taking, snapping photos, and just being sure they are being as precise as possible was incredible. They saw my vision and much more and a month or so when I went back for my fitting with the customizations completed - I was blown out of this world, and cried. YES, it was tears of joy!!! They knew exactly how to make my wedding gown fit perfectly on my body and etc. Laura's Couture is absolutely incredible.
I know you're someone who is searching for the place to have your wedding gown done at, and on a budget. Please know that this place is worth every penny. I was on a tight budget myself, but ladies this is the most important dress you'll ever wear and want to have someone do it that is trustworthy and actually know what they're doing. You have to get your alterations done here, even if it's over your budget. It is seriously worth every penny you spend.
I will definitely be doing back for just about everything now!

User2530392 Sent on 02/09/2016The staff at Laura's Couture is a joy to work with. They listened to our requirements for my daughter's wedding gown alterations and my mother of the bride dress and made all the adjustments we requested. Then, when we decided to add a cathedral veil TWO DAYS before my daughter's bridal portraits, they made it (and made it beautifully!). You get great service and quality for your alterations from Laura's Couture, and I highly recommend them.

User2425916 Sent on 11/14/2015I wore a green dress for my wedding. Because I waited until the last minute (I know!) I purchased the dress only about six weeks before the wedding. I went to Laura's Couture and Alterations to have significant alterations to rebuild the bodice of the dress. They ensured my dress fit perfectly and worked with me for almost two hours to ensure that a specific seam lay correctly.
