Talented and Professional

Olga was the best to work with on my wedding dress. From the very first appointment she was super helpful with explaining how the process worked and helping me envision my whole day-of look with veil, jewelry, shoes, and she even semi-styled my hair so I could see how it would all come together and just made me feel so confident and beautiful! She is highly skilled and just so calming and kind, definitely recommend working with her! She also asked what I was wearing for my rehearsal dinner and told me to bring it to try it on and even helped to alter that as well!

Highly recommend

Olga came recommended to me by my bridal shop (Unbridaled) and I am so happy I chose her for my wedding dress alterations. She did an amazing job altering my dress, which had a lot of buttons and she made the bustle the "easiest bustle" my mother had ever helped with. She was on time and professional during our initial consultation and two additional fitting appointments. I cannot recommend Olga enough. She has a reputation as being the "best in Austin" and I completely understand why. She gets booked up quickly so reach out as soon as you buy the dream dress!

Amazing talent!

Olga has an amazing talent! I was lucky enough to get in to Olga's busy schedule and it was one of the best decisions to have my bridal gown altered by her. Olga helped make my gown fit like a glove! My rounded train had 7 pickups in it and they all held throughout a night of dancing and interaction with our guests. Olga's kind heart is the cherry on top of her services and I will definitely recommend her to any bride!!

I am so happy Olga did the alterations on my wedding dress.

I am so happy Olga did the alterations on my wedding dress. She was recommended to be from BHLDN in Houston, and after reading all the reviews online, I knew I needed to reach out to her. Ladies, Olga books up quickly! Call her for alterations as soon as you have your dress; you won’t want to miss out on Olga. Thank goodness she was available for my wedding date; I’m astounded by the quality of her work, her attention to detail, and her passion for her craft. She is worth every penny paid—I truly don’t think I could have found better service anywhere in Austin. Not only is she highly skilled, she’s fun to boot! Olga truly made each experience visiting her in-home studio a delight. She was so cheerful, sharing in the excitement for my big day and making me feel so special. She encouraged me to twirl and spin and enjoy my dress. When it was time to leave my dress with her, she had me take photos of the front and the back in her “photo spot” (seriously, she even knows what part of her studio gets the best lighting and shots!) with my hair down, up, and to the side. She said they would come in handy later when trying to figure out how to style my hair (since I wouldn’t have my dress with me anymore), and she was so right. She really thought of everything. Olga is an absolute sweetheart, and I highly recommend her services.

Dress magician!

Like every other review, I can't say enough good things about Olga! She's not only a dress magician, but she's also amazingly sweet!

I came in with a strapless David's Bridal dress (yes... I know), and I really liked the overall design. But while it was pretty, it didn't quite feel like MY dress. At the first appointment, I asked hesitantly if she would be willing and able to add some long lace sleeves I provided and alter the straight and beaded neckline to a sweetheart, expecting the answer to be no. Without hesitation, she said absolutely, and that her job was to make my vision of my dream dress come alive.

She absolutely didn't disappoint! The dress came out even better than I had envisioned, and by the end of my fittings, it felt like MY dress 🙂 It fit perfectly in every way, and I felt beautiful on my wedding day. I got a ton of compliments and a lot of people telling me the dress had been made for me. Best of all, those alterations, as well as the hem alterations and bustle, didn't break the bank. If I had to choose one wedding cost (other than the venue) that I am 100% satisfied with and would do again if I could go back, this would be it.

If you're looking for a sign, here it is. Olga knows her stuff, she's efficient, and whether you come alone or in a group, she'll make you feel both welcomed and beautiful, every time.

My dress fit like a glove!!

I hired Olga to do my wedding dress alterations and it was PERFECTION. I am a teeny person - size 0 is too big on me - and Olga handled my dress with ease. It took her maybe 15 minutes to pin the top and waist of my dress and I swear it was magic. She knew exactly where to take it in and how to make it fit effortlessly. She also did my French bustle and it was so beautiful. I've seen really horrible bustles that look like the bride has droopy-butt, but Olga executed mine flawlessly. She is also just the sweetest, most joyful person. She was a dream to work with. She is not cheap - but to me it was well worth the money to make me look and feel like a million bucks in my wedding dress. I highly recommend Olga!

Olga did the most amazing job altering my wedding dress and I could not have been happier with the final results! She made sure we covered every single detail top to bottom and was organized and precise right from the start. I loved my dress from Unbridaled, but it definitely needed to be taken in at the shoulders and waist and hemmed quite a bit. Olga reviewed the dress and adjusted it perfectly to suit my figure. The first time I saw the alterations was when I really fell in love with my wedding dress. She did a fantastic job blending the alterations in with the design of the gown and making it look and fit even better than I had hoped. I had so much fun working with her and she is an incredibly talented, hardworking woman who will go above and beyond to make your dress perfect.

Olga was the only choice for me when it came to my wedding dress alterations. I bought my dress at Unbridaled in Austin; they recommended I call her for an appointment IMMEDIATELY and I'm so glad I did! She was attentive, efficient, and such a warm personality as well. It felt like she was reading my mind in the alterations I needed, and even suggested a few I wouldn't have ever thought of. On top of that, her pricing is super reasonable. Thank you so much, Olga! You were an angel and a delight to work with.

I would highly recommend working with Olga. She was always quick to respond to emails and even helped me fit in two fittings in one weekend due to a work conflict that prevented me from attending my final fitting. Her work is incredible and she really took the time to make my dress special.

Olga was great! She has a good eye and showed me several suggestions which made the dress even better. She looks at every part of the dress to make sure it fits perfectly. Even at the next to last fitting, there were a few small things not included in the original quote that she did at no extra charge. I was worried about the scalloped edge on the back of my dress because it kept flipping out and everyone kept telling me the only solution was double-sided tape but she was able to work her magic and it stayed down. She is very sweet and I would definitely recommend her to any bride.

Perfection! Olga is absolutely amazing at what she does! She made my dress downright magical! And even comfortable!

I told her I required three things, I needed to be able to eat, dance, and breathe! In that order of importance, of course! She made the dress look amazing on me and I was able to dance the night way. I am a bit top heavy and I was worried about support in the dress. The dress is such that I could not wear any of the traditional bra types, and I bought some weird contraption to help, which was not comfortable. At my first fitting Olga said she would put in cups and to forget about the weird bra thing I brought. I was skeptical as I am a fan of lots of support, no movement and even some lift. The fit Olga was able to give me with just cups was incredible! I didn't miss having a traditional bra. I had the shape, lift and support I wanted and it was comfortable!

Also, my dress had some very fine lace, detailing, and bead work that required movement on the main fabric to give me a good fit, and Olga was able to make it all work! I know she did an incredible amount of work, but you cannot tell that any of the details had to be moved. Her work is immaculate!

Not only is Olga absolutely amazing at what she does, but she is a joy to work with! She has a great personality, and is so sweet! She sees brides every day, and yet she still gets excited with the new one walking in her door. She even danced around with me to make sure I could move and groove!

I would HIGHLY recommend Olga to anyone needing work on their dress. I also very much appreciated how transparent she was on her pricing. There were no surprises or hidden costs, which when planning a wedding is a huge help!

Olga did such a phenomenal job perfectly fitting and altering my wedding gown. The gown had been ordered almost a year and a half before the wedding and in that time, I lost quite a bit of weight. When I finally received the dress, it was a few sizes too big (as I expected it would be). I could have easily used the seamstress that my gown shop provided and saved a little bit of money, but this wasn't a small alteration and I definitely did not want to take any risks. I'm SO GLAD I found Olga! She took a dress that I was seriously concerned about and made it look exactly how I envisioned. Not only that, but I originally had my dress altered early to have it in time for a bridal shoot. In the few months between the bridal shoot and the wedding, I lost even more weight, and Olga went above and beyond to make any other alterations needed so that I could look and feel amazing on my wedding day. I am so grateful to have worked with such a talented woman who obviously has a lot of passion for what she does. I can confidently say she's one of the best seamstresses I've ever worked with, and I would without a doubt reuse her services next time I need a beautiful gown fitted. Thanks Olga!!

I could not have been more lucky or happy to have found Olga. She is beyond professional and knowledgable about the cut and fit of a wedding dress. Olga was so friendly and inviting. She took my intricate lace dress and cut it to just the right proportions. You couldn't even see where it had been altered. I didn't realize how well a dress could fit! If you are getting married don't go anywhere else in the greater Austin area for your dress alteration. Olga is the best of the best!

As many brides know, it's difficult to envision your wedding dress when it doesn't fit you at the bridal salon. For many once you pick up your dress and take it to alterations, there's extra anxiety of "will it fit me" or worse, "did I pick the right dress?"

From the moment my mom and I walked into Olga's studio for my first dress fitting, we knew we had enlisted the perfect person for the job. Not only did she listen to my vision for the dress, but Olga also gave me options and provided guidance as I made the necessary decisions. Each fitting the dress started to morph into my dream dress, and by the third and final fitting (one week before my wedding) it was absolute perfection.

I highly recommend any Austin bride to leverage Olga's alteration services. Not only is she a perfectionist, but you can also tell that she genuinely loves her job. My mom and I loved getting to know her and are very appreciative that she made the entire process so fun!

Olga is AMAZING! She is such a talented, gifted seamstress, and I am SO glad I found her! Not only is she sweet, fun, and professional, she made my dress fit like a glove! I told her what I wanted, and she made the dress I bought mine. It hugged and flattered my figure perfectly. Even though it was a backless dress and I couldn't wear a bra- she made it to where I had awesome support and oomph! Let's just say, the girls looked good! I wouldn't trust anyone else with something so important as my wedding dress. Olga is a joy to work with. She listens to your needs and what your vision is for your dress, and makes that vision a reality. She is absolutely the best at what she does!!!

Olga is amazing! I cannot recommend her highly enough. She was clear with pricing, answered all my questions, took time with my appointments, and even added an additional appointment to make sure the fit on my wedding dress was perfect. I bought my dress at a sample sale, and with Olga's amazing work I had people telling me it looked couture and asking if they could borrow it for their wedding! I felt so beautiful on my wedding my day, and I owe so much to Olga for that. Work with Olga, you will not be sorry!

I always planned to wear my mom's wedding dress because we're about the same size. However, since there were parts of it that made it look dated, I figured I'd just wear it for the ceremony and change into a more modern dress for the reception. Our wedding coordinator recommended Olga and when I went to her for a consultation, I was absolutely blown away at the ideas she had to keep the major elements of the dress but turn it into something more modern and "mine." It was so special to me getting to wear my mom's dress, and I got so many compliments on it. I highly recommend using Olga to help with a vintage restyle, if you're at all considering wearing a vintage dress.

Olga is a fabulously talented person, and I really enjoyed working with her on my wedding dress alterations. I had a particular vision in mind for my dress, and my bustle ended up being more complicated than I originally anticipated. Ogla worked tirelessly through the entire process until we were able to find a bustle that I was 100% happy with. My dress fit me perfectly in the end, and I got many compliments on it. Without Olga's expertise, I don't think this would have been possible. She was even willing to steam my dress for me when I was nervous about ruining it by using a hand steamer at home. Olga loves what she does and it truly comes through in her work.

Olga is knowledgeable and well-versed in wedding gown alterations. I used Olga for pretty basic alterations to my wedding gown so I can't speak to her more custom work, but she made me feel very comfortable with what I needed done. I had straps taken in, cups adjusted, bustle added, and hem shortened. She talked me through how she would adjust straps and explained different types of bustles and the different functionalities of the several layers of my skirt that would be hemmed. She really knows her stuff!

I had 3 visits (one in May and two in August): consultation, fitting before final cuts/seams are made, and final fitting. I suggest you make an appointment with her at least a couple months in advance so you can easily book a time that works best for you. I booked my May appointment as early as February (I expected my dress around mid-May) and then Olga set up both of my August appointments the May appointment. I actually had something come up a week or two before my 2nd appointment and she was accommodating and quickly responded with another date/time I could come in. Email is the best way to reach her!

Olga was a fabulous seamstress. I immediately felt comfortable around her and trusted her expertise. You can tell she knows what she is doing and by the end result of my wedding dress it proved that she is an expert! There was nothing she could not do to meet my wants and she came up with several helpful tips that made the world of a difference for the overall look of my dress. My dress ended up fitting like it was made for me and I couldn’t have been happier. Olga made me feel special and beautiful! I am so happy I was referred to Olga for tailoring my dress because it would not have been as beautiful without her special touch! I would highly recommend her.

Olga was absolutely phenomenal in what she does. She made my dress look absolutely perfect and spent a lot of time with me, even being willing to answer questions I had after appointments via email. She was quick to respond to emails and quell any last minute bridal anxieties that I had. She was very professional and very kind. She had to take in my dress at the 2nd fitting because I had lost weight but she wanted to make sure it fit me perfectly and I really appreciated her being willing to point things out to me. The buttons she added to the back of my dress were so beautiful. She was extremely competent in her job and I would trust her to do any other type of alterations that I may need in the future. She knew exactly where to send me to get my undergarments and the store she sent me to knew exactly what she wanted. It made that part of it very easy. I really enjoyed working with her and I am lucky that an acquaintance gave me the referral!

Olga did THE BEST possible job with my dress. I purchased a 100% polyester bridesmaid's dress from The Dessy Group, unhemmed (style LR177 in ivory) for around $300. When I got it it the color was great, but it was big in some places, seemingly small in others, and awkward-looking on my body. I have a long torso and struggle to find dresses off the rack, this was no exception. I wondered if I had made a mistake purchasing a $300 "wedding dress" off the internet, sight-unseen...especially given my torso issues. Olga whipped that dress into shape in NO TIME. In three fittings she had this looking completely custom-made for me...from the bra cups she sewed in, to the slight train she created due to the extra length, to the stellar fit in the shoulders and around the bodice, it looked wonderful and was comfortable. She guided me through the process, and had many helpful suggestions. She even let me skype in a distant relative on the day of the final fitting, as this relative was unable to make it to our wedding and we had decided against a videographer of any kind. Plus, when I forgot my check book on the day of the final fitting she was able to accommodate a pick up between weekend clients, which was an unexpected gesture of kindness and a relief in the middle of crazy bridal preparations. Olga knows the female form, and she clearly knows her craft. Plus, she's funny and very honest in all the most important ways. She had the dress steamed, bagged, and wedding-ready for me. All I had to do was unbag it, put it on, and go! I received endless compliments on the day of, including several from people wondering if I had this dress custom-made for my body. My husband was delighted with the dress, and I felt beautiful in it. She did a great job and was a pleasure to work with.

From initial email to my final fitting, Olga walked me through the process with a high level of professionalism and always had a smile on her face.

Olga is incredibly professional, but also makes you feel so special as she works magic on your wedding attire. She is the one who suggested I wear my mother's veil for my day, and she took the delicate lace veil my mom wore and made it perfect for my big day. I would recommend her to anyone who wants a professional who truly cares about you and makes you feel almost like family.

A friend of mine recommended Olga to me after Olga did a beautiful job tailoring her wedding dress and I couldn't be happier with what Olga has done to my dress.

I thought my dress fit me quite well before I went to Olga, but now it fits like a glove. It sucks me in in all the places a woman needs a little extra support and makes me look taller and thinner!

My dress is made up of lots of layers of tulle, and Olga took a lot of time and care to make sure that we got the length of the dress just right, pinning each individual layer to the perfect height. Olga also removed the existing belt which was attached to my dress and replaced it with a belt that I felt suited the dress better.

Olga also took great care to show me how to get into my dress and gave me detailed instructions and a few great tips to share with my Mum who will be helping me with my dress on the day. We even spent time practising tying the bustle on my dress and walking around to make sure I was comfortable in my dress.

Overall, Olga was everything you would hope for and more. She is very friendly, warm and funny, and she is excellent at what she does. Of course, each dress is unique and will require different attentions, but I believe her prices are very fair considering the amount of time and work tailoring/altering a dress entails. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to any bride-to-be. She's a star.

Olga was wonderful to work with. She took my dress in perfectly to fit my shape. The dress was a sample sale dress about a size 18 and she took it in to about a size 6. It looked amazing! She was also very flexible in her scheduling!

Olga was nothing short of wonderful when it came to my experience with her for my wedding gown alterations. She was very professional and responsive with my initial inquiry and got me scheduled in no time for my fittings during the busy wedding season. My interactions with her in person were also great - she is honest, so talented (my dress was scalloped and you could not even tell that the length was altered!) and fun to work with! My dress fit perfectly on the big day - and I have Olga to thank for it!

Olga was wonderful to work with. I had to buy a new dress last-minute after I decided that I didn't really like the original one I had ordered months before. Quick tip: before you buy a dress from a boutique that says it will take 4 months for your dress to arrive, make sure you check out the dresses at JCrew and BHLDN, because they only take about 1 week to arrive and you can return it if you don't like it. The whole wedding dress boutique deal is kind of a sham in my opinion...but anyway, I got a dress from BHLDN and needed some work done to it, and Olga did a perfect job!! And she's so sweet and easy to work with. I highly recommend Olga for your wedding dress alterations.

Olga did a great job with the alterations to my wedding dress. She sewn in my bra to the dress, did an American bustle and even bustled my Cathedral veil. I invested a good amount of money in Pronovias gown and I wanted to make sure I trusted my gown to right person and Olga was it. Olga was very professional and explained the whole process as we were going thought it. I would say you are paying for her experience so don't expect a bargain but she's worth every penny.

I just finished my final fitting with Olga and was sad to leave! She did a beautiful job making sure my dress fit me perfectly and helping me accentuate in all the right places ;) Olga was extremely flexible and easy to work with; she rescheduled one of my appointments before her usual hours when I realized my mom would be in town so that she could come with me. Extremely professional, helpful, and easy to work with, I highly recommend scheduling with Olga.

Olga is amazing! She did such a great job altering my dress and sewing in pieces to it that were very special to me. She sewed in parts of my mom's wedding dress, my mother-in-law's wedding dress, and my husband's late brother's soccer jersey. She made them into little bows on the inside of my dress- it was so cute!
I read a review that someone said Olga called her a baby whale and I have a feeling they just don't understand her humor. My dress had a long train and Olga told me that when turning make wide turns like a large truck. She wasn't calling ME a large truck, she was just trying to give me a visual of how to properly turn and walk around in my dress. She and I laughed a lot and had a great time together.
My dress looks beautiful and she really helped make it look exactly how I wanted it just four weeks before my wedding. I highly recommend her if you are on short notice or just want someone to take care of your dress and make it look perfect on you!

Olga did a fantastic job on my daughter's wedding gown. It needed additional coverage since it was strapless and a semi sweetheart. She made it a sweetheart neckline and added additional coverage. She also sewed in a corset and the dress fit her like a glove! Olga also altered my gown and it looked great! We are both very short and both dresses had lots of material to be cut. Olga was patient and thorough. Considering all the work that had to be done, I thought her prices were quite reasonable compared to others in the wedding industry.

olga is wonderful!! i would recommend her to anyone. i bought my dress in charlotte, NC before moving to austin, and then needed to find someone to alter it locally for me. i read good reviews of olga, so decided to check her out.

i appreciated that she was very up-front with her price list (not everywhere is -- and her prices are very reasonable by the way), and she was super-knowledgeable and helpful on all sorts of topics!! she recommended someone to develop a custom headpiece for me (jamie slye designs -- also fantastic!), encouraged me to get bridal platform flip-flops (who knew such a thing existed!), recommended a place to get undergarments and double-sided tape -- she's just full of awesome ideas! and she was also very flexible by developing a special bustle that would allow me to do a texas two-step for our first dance. :)

olga is sweet, easy to relate to, organized, dependable, and knows her stuff!! i would recommend her to any bride!!

Olga did a beautiful job on my wedding dress. She was recommended by the boutique where I bought the dress and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone. She has an impressive instinct for how material should drape, how a dress should fit, and what is needed. She shortened my delicate beaded dress straps, hemmed and bustled the dress, and fixed some loose beads on the bodice. She offered different solutions to fit my budget and delivered the dress ceremony-ready on schedule. She's also nice and easy to work with. It doesn't get any better!

I can't say enough great things about working with Olga. I came to her a couple of months before my wedding with a dress that had never been worn after it was bought 15 years ago. I was losing hope of being able to wear it as my body had changed a good deal since then, and I was starting to panic that I wouldn't have a dress for my special day.

Luckily, I found Olga and right away she put me to ease. She is so pleasant, kind and patient to work with and she is amazing at what she does. She created the most delicate and gorgeous sleeves for my dress and redesigned the upper part of the dress so that it fits me perfectly now. The dress is more beautiful now than it was when I originally purchased it. I would never have thought I'd find someone so talented at dress design who would be able to work with me on my short time frame but Olga made it happen!

I strongly recommend Olga to any bride who needs help making her dress her own, you will be so glad you did! It is rare to find someone who is such an expert at what she does but who is also a very nice person!

I simply cannot recommend Olga enough! Not only did she do an incredible job altering my lovely wedding gown but she was also an absolute pleasure to work with! I had purchased my wedding gown in another city but live here in Austin and needed someone local to handle my alterations. I really lucked out with Olga! She is the perfect mix of professional and personable. After just a 10 minute consultation, I felt 100% comfortable leaving my gown in her more than capable hands and her home studio is adorable and spotless to boot! She didn't try to up-sell me any unnecessary alterations (which was greatly appreciated, as other seamstresses/ tailors in town with less integrity had tried to do...). Her turn-around time was tremendously swift and I found her pricing to be incredibly fair. If you're looking for a talented seamstress to entrust with your wedding dress or other cherished items of clothing, please look no further! Olga is the best in town! I'll definitely be bringing all of my clothes with alteration needs to Olga from here on out :)

Olga was amazing. She sculpted my wedding dress to me perfectly, and it was a very intricate dress. She came highly recommended to me by two separate and unrelated sources and she did not disappoint one bit. Plus she is warm and kind and very charming :) I was showered with compliments and I have Olga to thank.

I was referred to Olga by the bridal shop I bought my dress from. She was phenomenal! We had three fittings; our last one was the day before I got on the plane (we had a destination wedding) and it fit like a glove. I have some pretty dramatic curves, so getting anything to fit me right is a challenge! She also told me exactly what bra to buy and where to get it.

A few months later, I was a bridesmaid in my cousin's wedding. I was already pregnant and beginning to show! Even though my dress was from David's Bridal, I decided I didn't want to take any chances with their alterations and I took it to Olga instead. My body was changing every day, so we did the fittings and alterations as close to the date as possible. Again, even with short notice, she made that dress look perfect, as I knew she would. And it didn't cost me an arm and a leg.

By the way Olga--- it's a boy! :)

Olga is a fantastic seamstress and knows how to fit a gown to a women's body so it is the most flattering and comfortable for your big day. She also listens to what you want and works her magic to make it happen. She is very punctual and professional and I was never worried about having my gown done in time. I would very highly recommend her for any sort of tailoring, she is fabulous! Thank you Olga! Heather

Olga did a great job on my wedding dress alterations. She is professional and very easy-going to work with. She well captured my ideas, and my dresses turned out very nicely and they both looked very flowing on me. I especially like the floral sash she made for the dress I wore for the wedding portrait. It fits my vintage dress beautifully. I would recommend her to anyone!

My dress turned out great! The hem and bustle were wonderful and I was so appreciative that you made the bow detachable! Everyone raved about my dress and said it fit me like a glove :)

Olga was an absolutely integral (and fabulous) part of my wedding preparation. I ordered my dress almost a year in advance, but by the time it finally came in, the bridal salon told me there was not enough time remaining for their in-house seamstresses to alter my dress. Bride's worst nightmare. However, they totally made up for it when they referred me to Olga.

Olga met with me almost immediately, and got straight to work on my dress. She didn't bat an eye when I told her we were working with a timeline of less than a month. She meticulously showed me all of my bustle options, repeatedly asked me what I wanted and what made me feel my best, and went out of the way to make my fittings a show for my mother and sister. She had great thoughts about what would flatter my body best - turns out I needed to wear LESS Spanx than I thought (hallelujah) - and was all about the details. She even sewed my new initials into the inside of my dress - my secret "something blue" - and made a little jacket for my Catholic mass ceremony to match the lace in my gown. From scratch.

The woman is a genius. We're using her amazing services again for my sister's wedding this October, and I fully intend to refer all of my engaged friends to her as well. Working with Olga was probably the easiest thing about all of my wedding planning. I'm so glad I found her.

Olga was one of a short list of seamstresses recommended by the boutique where I bought my wedding dress. I found her to be pleasant, prompt, and professional, and her work on my dress (which needed to be sized down, shortened, and bustled) was excellent. Her studio, in the front room of her home, is roomy and immaculate. She also shortened an evening gown for me and that came out perfectly as well.

I love my dress and it required a lot of altering. Olga is wonderful and lovely. She is direct, communicative, and guiding. She makes your dress beautiful and simultaneously makes you comfortable. She stays true to what you want. Highly recommend.

I want to start off this review by saying that Olga did a terrific job on my gown, and it was absolutely stunning for the day of my wedding. I bought a sample gown that was much to big for me, both in size and in length. There were tears and alterations that needed to be done, and done well. Olga did an amazing job with my gown. It fit like a glove and looked brand new for my wedding day.

That being said. Olga has NO FILTER on her mouth. I am a tiny girl; only 112lbs. During one of my fittings, she pointed out several times that I had "obviously put on some weight" and even called me "a baby whale". I was mortified. I feel confident in my appearance, so I was lucky this did not affect the way I felt in my gown, but I would NEVER advise other brides to go here. No bride wants to hear these things as she's standing in the most important outfit of her life. Olga should know better working in the bridal industry. She was also extremely expensive. JUST NO.
