| - Irina is absolutely amazing! Her prices are affordable, her hours are flexible, she pays attention to detail, takes pride in her work, and most importantly, she is so thoughtful and genuinely wants to make sure you're happy.
I've included 2 before and 3 after pictures, although it's hard to see the details so it really doesn't do it justice. It was originally so ill fitted that my bridesmaids/Mom didn't like the dress and couldn't see the potential. By the end, my mom was very impressed by the transformation (and she is not easily impressed!). It has some fairly intricate beading and the illusion back is see through mesh material with the lace/beading continuing on to it from the rest of the dress.
My dress needed quite a bit of work. It was tight around my hips and loose in the bust, too long for my torso, and lumpy looking from the way the fabric folded. I wanted to add lace to the bottom and remove/adjust the jewels around the neckline, and a few other details. I went to 4 other places before meeting with Irina and they all quoted me between $900 and $1200 to only do the bare minimum and upwards of $1500 for everything. My dress was only $1100 so for that price I could have bought another dress. One of them actually sent me away saying they couldn't let it out and I should see if I could get my money back and get a new dress! I was devastated.
But Irina was able to do all of the things I asked for and more for only $200. She let my dress out at least half an inch more than anywhere else was going to (I think about 1 1/2 - 2 inches total) and made other adjustments to the tool underneath to add space. She found extra lace appliqués she had leftover from another bride that matched the ones on my dress almost perfectly, saving me $150-200 on the fabric. She recommend I look on amazon for my veil where they were $12 instead of $200 like at the bridal shops. Then she customized my veil to match my shoes by adding pearls and jewels I found at Michael's. She went above and beyond to save me money and you can tell she still thinks about her clients after they leave. She also added a beautiful bustle with clear buttons so you couldn't see it while it was down. She even took the time to make sure my bridesmaids new how to pin it up for me.
She did all of my bridesmaids dresses and they came out beautiful and with plenty of time to spare. It was between $15 and $35 each for hem and cups. She even fixed my flower girls' flower crown at no extra charge! She also steamed all the dresses the day of the wedding so they would be wrinkle free.
I couldn't be happier with all of the work she put in. She is very kind, personable, and hard working. 10000/10 would recommend!
