I loved the final result of my dress! Ama saw my vision and definitely delivered. From the moment I walked in her store she made me feel welcomed and comfortable. Thank you so much Ama

I needed a formal dress for a sneaker ball and a mother of the groom dress. I met Alma a month before my first event. It was so easy to talk to her. She was very accommodating and made suggestions to help me find a dress that worked for me. I was able to find a beautiful dress at her shop that needed a little tuck and hem for the ball. I ordered my mother of the groom dress and took it back to Alma for alterations. It was two sizes too big but she did an amazing job. She completed the alternations in a timely fashion and the fees were reasonable. I was very pleased with both dress and received tons of complements. I have already referred others to the shop and will be back for my next event.

I went to Ms. Ama with my daughter and together she altered my daughter's wedding dress and my mother of the bride dress. My dress was 2 sizes too big and after she tailored it, it looked like it was made just for me -- it looked stunning. She altered the dress several times because my weight changed and never charged me any extra. Ama did extensive alterations to my daughter's dress including a whole extra tulle layer. Ama was able to visualize my daughter's vision and the dress was stunning. She also made a beautiful bustle. She is so talented and a pleasure to work with. My daughter and I really bonded with Ama during the fittings and we LOVED working with her. Thank you Ama!

Omg I cannot send enough praise to the hardworking woman who runs this little shop?? she took my gown and a picture I found on Pinterest and was able to help me build my dream dress she worked so hard and even when I had second guessed my choice of neckline and opening the back she accommodated me by allowing me to try it on multiple times before the big day! Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to try something unique and different with their dress! She actually had to help me lengthen my dress about 1 inch and was able to take extra fabric and open the straps and add in pieces there, her work was seamless and perfection!

Wow! What a wonderful experience. Ms. Ama worked with me until I got the desired look of my wedding dress. The way my dress was constructed was very intricate and once she was done making the adjustments, you couldn’t even tell the dress was touched! She thinks ahead when it comes to alterations. All her suggestions were well thought out and I was very happy to work with her. Not only is her work great but her personality and charisma is great as well.. she makes it very easy to work with her.I will recommend anyone who needs their wedding gown or bridesmaids dresses tailored to definitely go with genesis bridal couture!

I wish there was an option select 10 Stars for Genesis Bridal Couture Studio and more specifically for Ms. Ama!!!!!! She is AMAZING! Before going to GBCS I tried the cheap route and bought a dress online. However, it was no surprise it didn't work out. That's when I went searching for a wedding dress boutique in Laurel, MD. I believe God sent me to Ms. Ama/GBCS. As soon as I walked in the shop I just knew I was in the right place. I had no idea what I was looking for or a budget. Ms. Ama found MY DRESS on the first visit. I put the dress on and knew it was MY DRESS! Ms. Ama got to work right away with altering/designing the dress to fit MY BODY and style. Ms. Ama worked within my budget to include both the dress and alterations. Ms. Ama is an ANGEL!!! She makes you feel comfortable like going to an Auntie to make your dress! SHE IS AWESOME! If you are looking for an honest, professional and understanding, seamstress, please go see Ms. Ama a.k.a "Auntie Ama". You will NOT regret it! Cannot THANK YOU enough! I will update my review with pics of my dress post wedding.

I had a fantastic experience with Genesis Bridal! I bought a second hand dress with a lace bodice and multi-layered tulle skirt that was WAY too long for me and took it here to get fitted. Ama did a great job pulling taking everything in and hemming the many, many layers of the dress. She was very responsive and the fitting session was quick and easy. I can't wait for the big day! :)

If you’re looking for top notch customer service and a phenomenal wedding dress experience this is the place! The owner Ama was a miracle worker! My mom passed down her wedding dress to me, that was over 40 years old. Ama was able to restore, make some modern changes, and create a beautiful dress that fit me perfectly! I didn’t realize how long something like this would take, so when I expressed the short deadline I had, Ama surprised me with her sense of urgency and worked overtime to make sure my experience and final product was everything I had hoped for. It actually turned out way better than I even thought! She was so sweet, personable, and extremely talented at what she does. The venue was intimate and you can tell she loves what she does. I couldn’t have asked for better results and I would recommend this place to any bride looking for a stress free experience and the wedding dress of their dreams. She captured mine and my moms vision, while offering her own suggestions that made all the difference. Absolutely loved it!

Ama made my wedding dress dreams come true! She was able to transform my dress from a ballgown to a soft A-line without losing any of its flare. Her attention to detail is spectacular and the quality of her work is unmatched. She has taken excellent care of my gown and has been an absolute joy to work with. I HIGHLY recommend her services at Genesis Bridal!

For me, wedding dress shopping was a nightmare. Before coming to this place, I visited other bridal shops and got super discouraged because I couldn’t find a dress that reflected my style, fit my curvy body type, and was modest. Then I visited this shop. Ama understood what I wanted in a dress. She drew out a pattern to transform an existing dress in the shop into the dress I wanted. When the day of my wedding came, my now husband cried when he saw me. Ama’s work was worth every penny. I definitely recommend this place to brides who want a dress customized to their style and body.
