Lina's Alterations

Oct 2024

Lina altered my wedding dress this spring and I had a nice experience. At my first appointment, she meticulously pinned and made sure everything looked the way I wanted. She even paid special attention to my unique bust of the dress, which I had a hard time finding a bra for, and gave me suggestions for bras. She also has good attention to detail - she noticed that a small chunk of the seam of my bust was showing (like that from the shop) and she added a leaf of lace from my gown onto the bust to hide it, all without me even asking and I loved that. Parking here is kind of confusing. Street parking is easiest as the lot only has a few spots and is shared with a few other businesses. I also didnt like the dressing room - it was cramped and had some junk stored in there, which didnt make me feel very bridal as I was trying to put my dress on for her. It's a tiny shop - no bells and whistles, so it is what it is. But Lina is detailed and kind and I felt prices were fair. I spent about $650 - waist and bust taken in, adding a bustle, and shortening length were the three major changes though she also did some smaller tweaks. It only took two appointments for me though she includes three.

Lina altered a complicated wedding gown and evening gown and accommodated our tight timeline. Her work was superb. She was a pleasure to speak to and one of the most interesting people I've met in months. She makes you wish you could spend just a little more time with her over a cup of tea or Turkish coffee! :) excellent experience.

My review is long overdue. Lina's alterations made time for me when I was in a bind and needed last minute alterations. Not only did they finish before they said it would be done but the quality was exceptional. I love supporting small businesses that go above and beyond for their customers. It's so rare these days. This place is a gem!
