I had my wedding dress alterations done here and had the best experience with Elvira. All of her recommendations were spot on and the bustle was the best I've ever seen. She was very timely and very sweet to work with. I would definitely recommend!

If I could write a negative review, I would. The owner of the shop is extremely rude and disrespectful. She made rude accusations thinking I could not afford a $30 pant hemming and the $100 bill I gave to pay was fake. I would steer far away from this shop!!!!!!

I had my wedding dress altered at Doris Couture by Elvira and she did an incredible job! Her attention to detail is superb. I brought my dress to her in February in preparation for my wedding in early July. She had me in for a handful of fittings over the next few months and got everything done in plenty of time. She ensured that I felt comfortable in my dress and looked beautiful. The bustle that she added was gorgeous and easy for my bridesmaids to implement. I loved working with Elvira so much that I worked with her again for a bridesmaid dress in September. The dress was 2 inches too small for me when I received it and Elvira worked a miracle! She was able to make the dress fit perfectly, even with only a half inch of fabric available within the seams. She'll be my seamstress for life!

Doris and Elvera worked as a perfect team to make my wedding day so special. They are the only duo I would trust for my wedding gown. My wedding gown was a vintage, slipper satin dress from the 1940s, it was over 70 years old. My grandmother wore it on her wedding day, and later my mother in the 1980s. It was my dream to wear the same gown, as close to its original form as possible. Doris Couture made this dream come true. Doris took the deepest care in making small adjustments to the dress, the quality of work was incredible and was a true advisor when discussing ways to update it, maintain its structure and fit my body best. Thank you both! The bustle was gorgeous too! It flowed so well during our first dance!Service: Alterations

One of the greatest things about having a wedding is that you get to meet so many talented people you would not have otherwise met. Elvira is one of those people. I had the stressful task of planning two weddings on two continents, and finding two wedding dresses for two different parties with two different vibes/cultures. Elvira spent time with me for 6 months, over 7 visits, attending to every detail of these dresses and making them both fit like a glove.She is a magician with her bustling skills, and one of my dresses looked like a rose once bustled up for a Bread and Roses themed wedding. The dress looked better bustled than not. Besides being an extremely skilled and precise person, Elvira is also warm, fun, and kind. I will be going to Elvira for all my seamstress needs for years to come. Thank you to Doris Couture for all their labor of love. Can’t wait to see you again!Noor and JustinService: Alterations

Used Doris Couture for alterations (shortening pants) a few times. Work is OK - but leadtimes are ridiculous. It was about 2 weeks leadtime the first few times (which is already pretty long) but the most recent MONTH leadtime to shorten trousers I knew I had to find another alteration place.

I'm the Mother of the Bride. I bought my dress in the same size that I tried on, therefore I knew exactly how it fit my body shape. The bridal shop recommended Doris to take up the hem and neckline at my shoulders, since they don't have an in-house tailor. When Doris saw the dress on me she said "it's not a good look" and went on and on about how I should return it or exchange it for a larger size. Since I love the dress and thought it looked awesome on me I refused to do that. I was extremely upset about the unprofessional, rude, and downright mean comments....but what made all of this worse was the unsatisfactory alteration job after 2 fittings. The hem juts out weirdly on both sides and the top is still way too loose on my shoulders. Now with the wedding just weeks away, and during the height of alterations for Prom and Wedding season, I'm frantically trying to find a tailor who can squeeze me into their busy schedule to fix my dress. I do not recommend.

I used Doris Couture to alter my dress for my daughter's wedding in 2019 - she did a beautiful job. Made alterations I didn't know were needed - the dress fit beautifully. I will be bringing her my dress for my son's wedding this spring.

Highly unprofessional and insults the client in the language we speak in front of us- do not recommend this place!! I came in to get an estimate for my wedding dress alterations. I have a very detailed dress and brought my bridesmaid with me to help describe the alterations that need to be done because we got the dress in Spain and her mother saw the dress and is a wedding dress designer and tailor. A few minutes into the fitting I was asked if I am planning to LOSE WEIGHT, because the dress would fit better and UNZIPPED THE DRESS TO MY UNDERWEAR and said now it looks better. My friend being a good person started to say no the dress is form fitting and doesn't need that much space. They proceeded to fight where the consultant told my friend YOU DONT SPEAK ENGLISH WELL, you don't know what you are talking about, and many more degrading insults just because she tried to describe what we were told needed to be done with the dress. I was shaking and traumatized from the experience- the most horrific experience in what was supposed to be a nice day.

I had my wedding dress altered at Doris Couture by Elvira. I really liked my wedding dress before but I absolutely loved it after it was altered. It was pricey but worth the cost.
