    Wedding Dress Alterations

    I highly recommend Kira Elizabeth Designs for wedding dress alterations. They made the entire process easy and fit into my busy schedule. They even steamed my dress for me to pick up the day before our wedding. The dress alterations were perfect.

    Bridal Gown with spanish lace

    I am so impressed with Kira Design studios. I love the team of staff they have there and how the owner gets involved with her clients. I had a veil that was simply stated and needed something added. Kira took my Mom's vision to add floral pieces of the lace around the frame of my face. The lace framed my face and added a spanish touch to the dress. The cut of the dress was a sweetheart and I wanted to add cape sleeves. Kira used the lace from designer Callie from Modern Trousseau to custom sew the floral flowers around for cape sleeves and back. I love the relationship Kira has with them as I purchased my dress from this custom bridal store. I needed changes made two weeks prior to wedding date and they made it happen. This wonderful team and owner made sure I was happy and help complete my vision of what I wanted. I also recommend this design store for other alternations other than bridal gowns. I was able to get dressing taken in, hemmed, buttons added etc for outfits that I wanted to wear for wedding festivities! I also had a going out dress made from designer Callie at Modern Trousseau. I love how they worked collaboratively to make personal changes/alternations. My husband is very Dominician Republic and loved the floral pieces of lace added to the veil that framed my face. As I walked down the aisle I saw him get teary eyed, but we say was just a little dust that got in his eye.

    Best Experience!

    From start to finish I was comfortable with Kira. My dress was perfect even a year after I was supposed to wear it. (Thanks Covid.) Kira and her team really put in the effort to make the shop a relaxed area for something that is surprisingly high stress!! You won't find a better place to trust with your dress!!

    Look no further. Kira is SO TALENTED!!!

    Trusting someone with your wedding dress can be tough. But trust me when I say that it is in better hands with Kira than it is your own!

    I had a tough dress to alter – we had a really specific vision for the bodice, everything had to be altered, and it was a really layered, complex dress.

    Not only did Kira deliver, but she went above and beyond our expectations. It can be draining standing in a dress for an extended period of time, but Kira is a wonderful, wonderful person to be around. She was talkative and conversational without being too much so (not everyone loves to chat, and that's totally fine! But my mom and I do and she was so great to converse with in the shop) I but she was so great to be around and quickly (professionally, though) got the pins where they needed to be and did her work impressively quick/well.

    Kira is such a talented visionary - a down to earth, spunky, extraordinary person with a TRUE gift for what she does. I am so thankful she was recommended to me – now go call her!!

    Kira is wonderful to work with and her work is incredible! I felt completely at ease leaving my dress with her for alterations and she did an AMAZING job! She is so sweet and easy to work with! I highly recommend going to her if you need any wedding dress alterations! You won’t be disappointed! Thanks Kira for all of your hard work!

    Amazing experience!

    too large for me. I was worried I may have wasted my money. I took it to Kira Elizabeth Design Studio to see if it could be altered. Kira told me that it would be challenging due to the sheer neckline; however, she did think it could be done. I was so incredibly impressed with the work she did on the dress. After several fittings, she was able to make the dress fit so perfectly. I have never been so happy in a dress in my life.

    She also altered my mother's veil which was extremely fine and over 30 years old. She did an incredible job.

    Kira was also so pleasant and accommodating to work with. She took my suggestions and wishes and incorporated them perfectly. She was so professional and always had everything done when I needed it. I would highly recommend her to any bride!

    Kira has amazing talent and a kind heart! She did the alterations on my wedding dress, which originally had an extremely deep V neck. She created a new neckline and sewed in lace,and it looked like the dress was made that way. I am not a fan of traditional bustles, and Kira created a custom bustle design specifically for my dress and fabric, which made it flow rather than a harsh fold. It looked effortless. She also created a custom silk flower bouquet and hair piece from my mother wedding dress, lace, and veil. It was absolutely beautiful and made me cry. Her studio is perfect, there is room to bring one or two people with you, and you will always be the only bride she is seeing. You can tell she puts lots of love and effort into her work. I would use her again in a heartbeat.

    I was referred to Kira by a coworker & immediately liked her! She listened to what I wanted & made suggestions when I needed it. Her flexibility & work exceeded expectations! A friend & I were casually talking about buttons & wishing they continued down the train on the dress. Kira immediately said, "I can do that" & she was right, they turned out BEAUTIFUL. I wish I would have known about her prior to purchasing my dress because she makes custom dresses & they are S-T-U-N-N-I-N-G! All in all, three coworkers (& a daughter), my mother, sister & I all went to Kira! That alone should say something!

    Kira was absolutely fantastic! I had the idea of adding a removable, tulle-ish flowy skirt to the lace wedding gown I had already purchased after trying on a style I liked in a store. I came to Kira with some photos and my vision and she worked with me from November to July to make it exactly what I hoped for. She was wonderful about letting me decide what I thought and how I felt and not pushing on ideas or opinions on me which I really appreciated. She found an alternate fabric for the under layer to help me with my budget and was meticulous about color matching and many other details. I really appreciated her dedication to making me really happy with how it turned out. I'd highly recommend Kira to others!

    I met Kira on my 3rd visit to wedding gown designers. Though I was already sold on a more recognizable and established name, Kira made it feel like I was spending time with my sister.
    Her service is what sold me, and the small town feel and home - style office location took the stress out of my purchase. In the end she saved me thousands on a ultra high quality experience and gown because of her down to earth business plan.

    I still cannot BELIEVE the skill level and heart this girl is able to put in her work! It is one of a kind!! And the silk flowers and jewelry were a bonus feature I hadn't even thought of!! So wonderful OMG!

    6 stars and recommended for anyone expecting a friendly and service-oriented experience AND top quality product.

    Thank you so much! I hope to buy many more casual outfits in the future!

    Kira did an AMAZING job with my wedding dress. I had ordered my dress off of the internet and it was not what I thought it would be. Not only was it much smaller than advertised but it also was not the appropriate length and was just overall not flattering at all. Kira took the material and gemstones from my dress and COMPLETELY re-did it so that it was a perfect fit and she added beautiful feathers to the hemline and a satin ribbon belt. I got a million compliments on the dress and it was absolutely BEAUTIFUL on my big day. Not only is Kira AWESOME at what she does but she is also personable, professional, trustworthy, and timely. I would have been lost without her! While working with Kira I had the opportunity to see some of her own designs and they were so beautiful. If I had known her prior to ordering my dress off the internet I would have just had her design it from the beginning. I recommend Kira to anyone who wants a beautiful dress and a one of a kind experience.

    Kira designed and made me a custom gown for my wedding. It fit perfectly and the entire process was effortless and stress-free. Kira is beyond talented and the only person I would trust with my dress. Kira has more experience than the vast majority of seamstresses out there, especially when it comes to gowns and working with fine fabrics. Do it right - work with Kira. She will take better care of your dress than anyone else out there.

    Kira is abolutely wonderful! She altered my wedding dress and created a whole new look for the dress. She was flexible with meeting me when my schedule allowed, was generous and honest. Her gowns are amazing and her fabric bouquets are defintiely one of a kind. I was blessed with the opportunity to work with someone with true talent. I would defintiely recommend her to anyone looking quality work and someone with a great personality to work with.

    Working with Kira Elizabeth was the best decision I ever made. From the first meeting, she was able to sketch my dream dress with me just giving her my vision. Every step of the process was stress free. She was able to order the exact material that I wanted to create my dream wedding dress. The fit, quality, and detail of her work is truly amazing and rivals all of the high end wedding dress designers. Being able to design your own custom wedding dress with some one who is so talented, is every bride's dream come true. I felt like a million dollars!

    Absolutely fabulous! I love her ideas, and the fact she would help me make sure at every step of the design if there was anything wrong or anything she saw that would make more of a positive impact on the overall design. She also was so incredible with making the two flower girl dresses, and between those and my dress it was a hit at the wedding! If there is ever anything else in the future, I would definitely use her again!

    Kira was a joy to work with for my wedding alterations. I had a shorter timeline to take care of everything, and she was flexible to meet with me on Saturdays so that my mother could attend both fittings with me. She answered the need for my dress to work for both an outdoor ceremony & indoor reception, creating the most amazing bustle (I think it's called? Not my area of expertise!) that made the back of the dress even more incredible. Not only that, but her custom dresses are breathtaking! Whether it's a totally custom dress or alterations on your current one, Kira is definitely someone you should know!

    Kira did the alterations on my Melissa Sweet gown, taking the dress from a 10/12 to a size 2, which is no easy task, and it fit perfectly! She did the most amazing job! She has a true gift! (She also does custom gowns and had I been able to afford it, I would have jumped at the chance!)

    I bought my dress in Atlanta, so I was nervous have it altered elsewhere. Kira was a true professional, though, and I felt so comfortable working with her. Through 4 fittings over 2.5 months, she made my dress fit like a glove, giving great feedback along the way. The bustle was beautiful and held up all night. I wish I could wear my dress again and again!

    Everything I experienced with my dress worked out perfectly. I redesigned the top of my dress and Kira helped me through it all. She helped me figure out how to take a halter dress to a sweetheart neckline strapless dress. I appreciated all of her time and flexibility to have me come in and see if it was fitting well. She was efficient and I picked up the dress right before my wedding, and it fit well! She is located downtown which is so ideal! Young, smart, and works ver hard. I think Kira is wonderful makes sure you will have everything you want throughout your process. Thank you so much!!

    Working with Kira was great, we were able to work together and come up with some cool designs for my dress! Unfortunately, she took in an area of my dress that I did not ask her to, my dress then didn't fit, and when I asked her to take out the stitching she had done, the fabric had stretched out and changed the shape of my dress. She then told me she couldn't fix it, so I had to take it somewhere else. I hate that our relationship had to end that way, she really was a joy to work with, but she did mess up an area of my dress that she then could not fix.

    I expected so much better

    After being sent here through the shop I bought my dress from, I really expected the experience to be great (based on location, the look of the studio and the fact that I was sent there directly). However, with Kira and another girl working on my dress that BARELY needed alterations, there was clearly no communication between the two of them. I went in after Kira was supposed to work on my dress and the other girl had no idea what Kira had done and was pretty much clueless. When I went to pick up my dress the fabric in the chest that was lace was bunched up (two days before my wedding) and the girl wasn’t able to fix it so I guess I just had to settle after paying HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS for minor alterations. I am extremely disappointed to say the least. Do no recommend.

    Do not do it. Awful experience.


    Do not let her touch your wedding dress!!!! I had the worst experience. She ruined my dress and charged me hundreds of dollars to do it. I was not able to try on my dress when I picked it up due to COVID. Got it home and it didn't even come close to fitting. It was taken in way too much and I am not the first person this has happened to based on her reviews. My dress barely needed altering and she grossly over charged me. There is a hole in the lace and the bra cup on one side is FLOATING in the bodice of the dress when I specifically said I did not want the bra cups touched. The dress was not hemmed and she will not respond to my calls. She was extremely rude in all of my dealings with her and she and her staff clearly do poor work. Stay far away.

    Worst experience ever

    Yes, I recommend...if you want your dress ruined. She literally ruined my friend’s wedding dress. And didn’t give a crap that she had done so. Where is the accountability? Take responsibility for your shoddy work! She charged an exorbitant fee to literally ruin a dress - she cut out fabric that she was told to leave alone...leaving a 2” gap in the back of the dress. She ripped the lace of the dress also...and the mistakes continue on and on. Why did we pay for such crap? Because “due to covid I can’t let you actually touch or try on the dress until you pay.” Then wouldn’t let the dress be tried on because we needed to leave the store immediately upon payment. And now she won’t return calls to help find a resolution. DON’T LET HER NEAR ANYTHING YOU NEED ALTERED!!! You would be better off letting my 3 year old niece use her Barbie sewing kit.
