Irina is hands down the best at tailoring wedding gowns. She was able to accommodate a quick turnaround time, plus we only needed one fitting! She took the time to explain to me why the dress design wouldn't support a bustle, and why she recommended we take the train off. She was spot on. It transformed the dress into something even more beautiful than I could have imagined. The top included intricate lace with boning. She expertly resized this to fit my body perfectly. She tailored the 3/4 length sleeves, changing the shape of the sleeve to give it a better fit for my body type. I had accidentally ripped the dress when putting it on, she fixed it, and you would never even know. I would highly recommend Irina for any alterations, especially wedding gowns!

I really did had a terrible bridal experience here and nothing can change that. Irina didn’t listen to my concerns about the dress and belittled my options. The dress had physical flaws after my seamstress experience that I felt could have been avoided. I felt discriminated against for looking young/naive and was treated so. I have had at least 15 years’ experience going to professional seamstress and this experience really left me a with a bad feel on the most photographed day of my life to date. My strap fell down multiple times during my ceremony. The front of my dress pilled out showing the liner from the side. Really a poor job looking back at photos. Thank you for your time Irina, but will not be recommending you moving forward.
I did not end up needing to use Irina's talented services but I needed to take the time to write about the wonderful service she provided me when I reached out via her website form. On a Sunday, I used her available online service request form and received a reply back via email within an hour. Irina was so attentive with every response and so helpful and accommodating when it came to getting me in for a last minute appointment during the end of my Mom's out of state visit. We had many prompt back and forth email exchanges and Irina even took the time to phone me to get better clarification of my needs and she gave me so many tips and insights on my phone call. If I need any alteration to my wedding dress when it arrives, I will be using Irina.
When it comes to bridal alterations, I really wouldn't trust anyone other than a brusque, Eastern European woman.. they just get it. Alterations weren't cheap but they weren't outrageous either. The whole experience was exactly what I expected - walk in, minimal pleasantries, very quick measurements, out the door, and then a perfectly altered dress. My dress wasn't complicated so she was able to get it done in one fitting. I felt completely at ease in her care and was confident she would deliver.
I purchased by wedding dress at Sposabella in Bucks County, but the seamstress’s schedule did not mesh well with mine. They recommended Irina and I am so happy I chose her. She was all business and you can tell really knows her stuff. She made excellent suggestions with how to adjust the dress in order to not only make it fit better but also make the train and bustle lighter. I’m not sure how the price compares to other seamstresses, and sure it may have been a bit expensive, but I would go to her again for sure.
