I bought my dress in Massachusetts but live in Chicago and I needed alterations done here before heading back east for my wedding. I bought my dress two years ago and with the quarantine weight gain my dress wouldn’t fit. My grandmother got me the dress and I didn’t want to buy a different one. Kelly and Olga worked their magic to make that dress work for me. Kelly let out most of the seams of my lace and beaded Maggie Sottero fit-and-flare (while leaving the front alone to keep the integrity of the original design). We were originally going to add in a corset back, but she was able to use the remnants from my hem to create a small expander to then add back in the zipper and buttons I loved so much. The bustle was perfect and easy for my bridal party to do up, and the chain stitch on my bust line helped the strapless dress sit securely. Kelly was kind and professional at every appointment, offering support and encouragement as she altered my dress to make it the new perfect for my day. I cannot thank Kelly and Olga enough for the labor of love they put in for me. I will definitely be back for bridesmaid alterations.

I worked with Kelly at Sew Bridal for alterations on my wedding dress. I had an extremely tight timeline, and I was so grateful that she took me on as a client when I came to her less than 3 months before my wedding (my first alteration was 6/25/21, and my wedding was 8/15/21). Although I was lucky that the top of my dress fit perfectly off the rack, the bottom was a HUGE job due to the endless layers of tulle, horsehair trim, and insane bustle. Kelly is super friendly, patient, and works extremely hard. She did an incredible job and took so much time with me at each appointment. Also, her store is so cute! I highly recommend Sew Bridal for any of your alteration needs, as Kelly can handle even the toughest dress. 10/10.

I took two bridesmaids dresses in and got them back within 2 weeks. I needed one hemmed and the other taken in at the waist. They were perfect! Highly recommend. Not too expensive either!

Once again, Kelly has done phenomenal work on past dresses of mine so of course I could only entrust her to work on my wedding dress. Kelly has been so helpful with any questions I had regarding any alterations and never rushed me in any way during my appointments! I’ve been seeing her for three years now and it’s been amazing to see how far she’s grown her business! I wish I was looking for dresses when she started showcasing designers, they’re all so beautiful!!! She even made me a mask and hair scrunchie out of the leftover material from my dress, thanks again, Kelly! :)

Kelly, the owner, was fantastic! So kind, professional and helpful! She had a great knowledge of the bridal gowns and listened to my feedback while I tried them on. It was my first time trying on wedding dresses and she made the experience truly enjoyable! I wasn’t ready to commit that day and she never made me feel pressured or rushed! Highly recommend!

Kelly @ Sew Bridal is amazing! I have worked with her for many bridesmaids dress alterations in the past and turned to her with a complicated ask / adjustments / alterations for my wedding dress. Kelly was so patient and professional and brought all of my dress visions to life (within the original budget she estimated). I cant recommend her enough!

Omg I had an amazing experience! Kelly is amazing and she made the most beautiful dress for my daughters baptism! She is so sweet and professional.. If I could give more then 5 stars I would! Highly highly recommended

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Kelly is absolutely incredible. Professional, honest, timely, kind, and affordable. My dress came in later than expected, and she not only altered my dress and my mothers dress to perfection and on time, but created the most STUNNING bolero for the fall season to accompany my dress. She was an absolute pleasure to work with, a complete professional, and handled the short timeline like and total rockstar. You can trust her with your special dress for your special day. I will definitely be back for other alterations in the future! THANK YOU KELLY! You made the impossible possible!
