Sew More Couture did an amazing job altering my wedding dress. Vongie was so nice and friendly and made sure that we got the dress to look just how I wanted. Also very reasonably priced. I would definitely recommend them! -

I met V about 3 months before my wedding. I had some alterations need to be done. She was so friendly since the beginning! Sometimes we met some obstacles but she never gave up and always found ways to make the dress as perfect as she can! She literally did everything she can do and kept promising me we will be done before the wedding date which she did!! She was an amazing person and she did her best to meet all my needs and worked with my dates as well!! I really enjoyed working with her and really reduced my stress levels so much with her handling my dress! Thank you V!! Everyone loved my dress in the wedding!! 😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️ -

Wonderful service and excellent work
I had a wonderful experience when I need my wedding dress to be altered. I had purchased my dress a few months before I was diagnosed with coronary artery disease that required a quadruple bypass. Unfortunately, the surgery left a scar that was quite visible with the V-neck of the dress. Bailey worked her magic and turned the V-neck in to a boat neck. I could not be happier with the results! Everyone at Sew More Couture was friendly and provided exceptional service. -

Ms. V did an incredible job with alterations on my wedding dress and my (now) husband's suit! My dress was way too big when I took it in but she made adjustments until it fit perfectly. She even added an internal belt to hold up the heavy bottom of the dress and make me feel more comfortable. She was always responsive and kind. She even worked in my husband at the last minute to tailor his suit to his liking. Her pricing is fair and you can absolutely trust Ms. V to have you looking good on your big day! -

Poor workmanship
We chose SMC because of the wonderful reviews and pictures. The first visit (April 2022) was great. We felt they understood what my daughter wanted and said they had plenty of time. This was 4 months before we had to leave for the wedding (out of country).
Second visit (May 2022) - scheduled for two weeks after the first. They called to reschedule and make it two weeks later but assured us there was still plenty of time. We had to move it one week later as my daughter was out of town. At this visit, there was less done than we expected. The seams were undone but the straps hadn't been let out - in retrospect, this is where things started going downhill as her dress was pinned with the straps too tight so it wasn't lining up to her waist.
Third visit (June 2022) - The dress just didn't fit right. Things were way off. It didn't close in the back. The straps were hanging loose which was fine but we realized now that the issue is that everything wasn't lining up. The bust was now way too low (since the straps were not strapped at all). The seams were lumpy and uneven. The liner was now too short. We had asked them to cut the back of the liner (the liner had a train) to match the front of the dress. Now the liner was suddenly much shorter than the lace/mesh layers and her feet were showing. They repinned and said to come back in July but had concerns about the camp they were running so they scheduled us the Friday before camp.
4th visit (July 2022) - this visit was rescheduled by them - now it was during camp week. This was supposed to be the final visit. The seams were still lumpy. The hem was let out but it was still too short. We were supposed to be leaving the next day but our schedule was changed so we had another week. We asked them to fix the seams.
5th visit (July 2022) - This was two days before we left. The seam was still lumpy but slightly better. The bust area was good but her bra cup was still showing (we were told there was nothing that could be done about that). The liner was still too short. We took her dress and left. Obviously, there was nothing they were going to do to fix it. We ran to the mall and bought shorter shoes to try to help the issue with the liner.
Before the wedding - we decided to fix her dress ourselves. We took out the side seams which made us understand what went wrong. We realized that the rest of the dress had the liner layer seam by itself, then each layer of tulle had it's own seam and the top layer had lace glued to it. When they had taken apart the seams, they wound up sewing it all up together. This led to a lumpy seam right at her waist/hip area. Further, the reason the liner was too short was because it bunched up into the seam - they had hemmed it and then sewed it into the seam and bunched it up. Once I took apart the seam, the hem was again the right length. I hand sewed her dress and while not perfect, it was much better than when we had picked it up. Lastly, one issue we had mentioned at the very first visit was that there was too much material above her bottom. At the first visit, they told us they could fix it. Later they told us we had never mentioned it and it wasn't on the sheet. They did agree to fix it "If they had time" (recall at the first visit we were told there was plenty of time). They eventually said it was too hard because they would have to take apart the zipper. I was able to fix this by pinning down the layers of tulle at the center seam. It was actually the fix that made us more confident to take out the side seam.
In the end, her dress wasn't absolutely perfect but, we were able to make it much better than the way we received it. We would not trust them to alter a dress with this many layers. We wish they had told us they were not comfortable with altering her dress style at our first visit and we would have gone elsewhere. I knew her dress would cost a lot to alter and I was not upset by the $620 price we paid for alterations UNTIL they messed up her dress which further cost us new shoes and items for me to repair it.
