I will not go anywhere else for alterations. Ms. Belinda has altered all of my formal dresses from prom dresses, bridesmaid dresses to most recently, my wedding dress. She is wonderful and a miracle worker.
My wedding dress was heavily beaded. It needed the sleeves taken in and a bustle added to a very long train. She made these adjustments so beautifully, you'd never know alterations were made.
Absolutely incredible!

I had a fantastic experience working with Ms. Belinda. She went above and beyond to provide thoughtful and expert alteration advice. She was incredibly responsive—calling me several times to ensure I had all the information I needed and replying to texts promptly. Her guidance was clear, practical, and ultimately spot-on. Thanks to her help, everything turned out perfectly. I truly appreciate her professionalism and dedication, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone in need of alterations.

I had a positive experience with Sew Elegant Bridal. For my 2/22 wedding, I had purchased a wedding gown with a plunging neckline that I was somewhat uncomfortable with. However, that's a design trend that's hard to sidestep nowadays. Belinda made a modesty alteration for my gown that blended in with the appliques very well and made me much more comfortable wearing it. She also made an elegant bustle that held up well and contoured the gown to my shape and height. Belinda also altered my maid of honor's dress (in champaign) from Azazie and did a good job. I recommend Sew Elegant/Belinda as a competent tailor who works with intention and mastery of detail.

Mrs. Belinda has hemmed two formal gowns for me in the past, and she did an amazing job!! I got so many compliments, and had no issues with the length of my gowns! My mom is already planning to call this week about doing my senior prom dress! I know Mrs. Belinda will do a great job. Can’t wait!

Belinda is the best! I came to her with my wedding dress that was multiple sizes too big for me. She thoroughly explained prices (which were very fair) and what needed to be done. My dress fit me like a glove and the bustle was perfect. Thank you!!

Belinda does great work and I was happy with my dress, but I feel her pricing is a little high. My alterations were $725 for what I believe was a simple dress. She took in straps, added bra cups, sewed on a belt, and took up the hemline (which part of that was left unfinished, and discovered I had pins in my dress on the morning of my wedding day). My dress was an easy material to work with, only 2 layers, no beading, and no lace. My Mom reached out to her after the wedding and she refunded $40. Yes FORTY. I just feel like we were overcharged, and $40 was a slap in the face honestly.
My dress was $1700. Maybe I should have shopped around for alterations, which I guess is my advice to others if you’re reading this!

Belinda was such a joy to deal with. She listened to what I wanted, made me feel comfortable and most importantly confident that she would make the dress fit me perfectly. And it did! I couldn’t have asked for more

Esin and her team were amazing to work with. I felt so special throughout the whole process. She kindly stored my dress for months until it was time to start alterations as I bought it out of town and had nowhere to safely keep it. I was always greeted with a huge smile and hug and felt so appreciated. They did a beautiful job on my dress and made a bustle that was easy and quick to use. I highly recommend so elegant for any occasion. You can trust them to do a great job and make you feel so special.

I’m unfortunately taking a star off for Belinda because of her attitude. She made several remarks that were unnecessary. 1 - I put on my wedding dress and she said “So that’s what you’re wearing as a wedding dress?” 2 - Comment made to my very kind MIL who was trying to open the dressing room curtain for me but was going the wrong direction. “That’s why you call me to open the curtain.” 3 - Today as I was walking out with my dress, she told me to be careful with my drink (water) and said “why would you bring that in the first place.” Her studio is hot, which is what I told her. She did a good job hemming the back of my dress and it was affordable. She did not choose to steam my dress, which I thought was poor customer service when there is a full length steamer in the dressing room, but to each their own.

Belinda was amazing to work with! She basically re-built my dress so that my arms could fit in the sleeves. As a plus size bride I was very careful in who I selected to alter my dress and I am so thankful it was Belinda! I highly recommend her. She did such a wonderful job of making only minor adjustments each appointment and at the end it fit like a glove.

Belinda is an absolute master! She was able to take an already beautiful gown and fit it so precisely to my body that it fits like a glove! We snatched in the waist to make it look like I have a figure…fitted it snugly in all the right places and increased the side slit to give it a more sexy sophisticated look. Her skills are perfection, her eye for detail is impeccable. No matter where you purchase your gown or how much it cost, the fit makes all the difference. You will not find a more talented seamstress with more experience.

Belinda did an amazing job not only altering my dress to fit me perfectly, but she was able to add off the shoulder sleeves to make it exactly as I requested.

Belinda is amazing!!!! My daughter wanted to wear my 30 year old wedding dress, and she made it happen. We could not be more happy with the result. To top it off she was so kind and helpful, I can not say enough about our experience.
