I was recommended Ava’s shop by my good friend in Boston and also BHLDN. I wanted to add a flutter sleeve to the Reagan Gown from BHLDN. I sent her a photo of what I wanted and I bought fabric from Jenny Yoo for the sleeves. Ava’s magic made my boho wedding dress dreams come true. Worth the drive to Providence from Boston if you need alterations, or custom jobs like I did.

I cannot say enough amazing things about Ava! She was so pleasant to work with and made the dress fitting experience a great one! She also custom made my veil to match the lacing on my dress. Not only was she timely with everything but you would have never known my dress was altered! I had a destination wedding and she even gave me advice on how to pack my dress and care for it when I got there. Regardless of if you are in Providence or not she is worth the drive! I commuted from Boston just to work with her!
I moved to Providence only a few months before my wedding and I needed to find someone to do alterations to my BHLDN gown ASAP. A quick google search brought me to Ava, who specializes in BHLDN gowns. Seemed like it was meant to be. I emailed her immediately and set up an appointment. I had bought my gown on sale and it has a lace topper that’s separate from the gown itself. The whole thing was too big, and I was worried about how the topper would fit over the gown itself. I didn’t want it to look bulky. I shouldn’t have worried. Ava had altered my dress (the calla gown) before, and she went to work confidently. Each fitting (three total) was a complete joy. Ava is friendly, creative and just a delight to be around. She really knows how to calm any dress-related jitters and she connects easily with everyone, making the fittings fun and easygoing. Plus, she really knows what she’s doing. My dress fit me like a glove. She fixed the dress so that the topper appeared to be part of the dress itself. I have never loved a dress more, and no one at the wedding had any idea I was wearing separates. To top it all off, I came to Ava with a second reception/dancing dress (we did a swing dance as our first dance, so I needed something I could jump in) pretty last minute. She took it in expertly and had it ready with my ceremony gown. I wore the topper over both dresses, and I got so many compliments on everything. Ava is worth every penny and then some. Thank you, Ava, for making me feel so happy and beautiful in my gown!
I didn’t know if I wanted to write this review because I normally don’t do this kind of a thing. I just think people should be aware.i had an appointment with Ava and drove in from Boston to meet with her. My mom also flew up from Florida and I took the day off of work to make this appointment. We got there early so killed some time and the.mn headed over- no answer at the door. There is also no sign out front so it’s really hard to find. I called, texted and e mailed and after 40 min we had to just go. She NEVER answers calls and the only way I had communicated with her properly before was through e-mail. If you are running a business you have to have a better line of communication. She needs to realized all the factors that go into your first appointment- mother in from out of town, taking time off work and hours of travel to get here. We also had to cancel lunch with my cousins to rush back to Boston and try and get an appointment before my mom left. Going to her was a HUGE waste of time. Very disappointed.
Ava re-worked a BHLDN wedding gown for me and let me just say her work is exquisite. I could not be happier with my wedding dress. She is easy to work with and listens to all your wants for the dress and makes them happen! I had multiple alterations that I wanted and it's always scary to let someone take your gown and make it into your dream dress. Well let me just say Ava did it! She has also hemmed, added cups, lined and changed necklines on multiple other dresses for me. All fabulously done. She is reasonably priced and gets the work done in a timely manner. If you need any dress made or re-worked or have any cushions you want reupholstered I HIGHLY recommend Ava! She's a magician in the seamstress world.
