I cannot recommend House of Deane and Diane enough!!! Diane tailored my wedding dress and more casual party dress this summer. There was a defect with the designer dress that I received, and the designer had to ship a replacement dress last minute to me. Diane worked with me to figure out a backup plan in case it didn't come in time, working on the original dress while we waited, and then rushed my replacement dress and did a months worth of alterations in 2 days. She had an amazing attitude, was so much fun to work with, and REALLY cares about her clients and work. I would use Diane again in a second for any high end alterations. Thank you Diane!!!!Services: Alterations

Diana is truly unbelievable. She took my mothers 40 year old dress and turned it into the perfect modern/beach outfit for my elopement. She is super easy to work with, great at communication, and truly so creative. From the first minute we talked she was able to get a feel for all of the elements I wanted to keep and all of those that I wasn't as interested in. The results are truly breathtaking. I would get married again JUST to have her make my outfit!

Diane is so kind—and incredibly talented, truly. I purchased one of her sample dresses and she altered it to perfectly fit. I highly recommend Diane if you need alterations, and even more, if you'd love a dress or accessory. She uses high-quality fabrics and her designs are very charming. She also made me a very beautiful hand-died ribbon with embroidered bats. Yes, bats! Who else can do that??

Deane is incredibly kind, talented and intuitive. She did the fitting and alterations on two of my wedding dresses and they were absolutely perfect! I didn’t know what to ask for but she knew exactly what was needed and gave me options. She worked with my shifting timeline and was so easy and fun to work with. I’d highly recommend her to anyone!Services: Fitting & custom tailoring

Deane is AMAZING!! She completely transformed my wedding gown and came with so many solutions/ideas. You can truly see her experience shine through the work she produces. And, she was even able to help tailor my Indian bridal blouse (which had a ton of detailed embroidery). Everything fits to the tee and she doesn't let you leave without feeling like it is absolutely perfect. My sister and I will 100000% be back for her dress alterations next spring!

If you're looking for anything from wedding gown alterations to custom dress making, Diana is your girl! I am so happy that I came across her website when I was in search of alterations for my wedding dress because she truly delivered.I had an unfortunate situation happen where the store I bought my wedding dress from had ordered the wrong one, so my new dress came just 3 weeks before my wedding. When I had explained the situation to Diana, she was so quick to help, let me schedule my fitting appointments in advance, and squeezed me in right before my wedding. Now for the crazy part: she managed to make all of my dress alterations in ONE WEEK. When I came to my last appointment, the dress fit like a glove! She seriously saved the day and I feel so lucky to have found her.Diana is the sweetest person and so easy to connect with. She kept me laughing the entire appointment and just made me feel like I was in great hands with my dress. Throughout my entire wedding planning process, Diana is probably one of my favorite "vendors" I worked with. I just wish I found her sooner because she can custom design anything for your big day!Services: Alterations

I recently had my wedding dress tailored at House of Deane and it was the best decision! Diana worked wonders to create the perfect look that went from ceremony to reception perfectly. If you are looking for someone to design or alter a dress for a special occasion, I would highly recommend booking an appointment with House of Deane.Services: Alterations

Ok, so I never thought that one of my favorite wedding vendors would be the person who did my wedding dress alterations. But I can barely BEGIN to sing Diana's praises! I came to her with a pretty botched dress. I had tried on a dress I fell in love with at a trunk show, only to get the final piece in that was...different than what I had paid for. It was about a foot too long and inches too big. The proportions were really off. The pretty bow that tied onto the shoulder strap was not the expected material. I was slightly worried this dress was not going to be workable. And then, thanks to the genius she is, and after a couple of fittings, the dress I fell in love with reappeared!!!! Including the addition of a whole new beautiful bow in the right material, with the right look. The transformation was SIGNIFICANT. Diana made me feel validated that my dress was, in fact, really not what I signed up for, and remained really positive about the whole situation, while also managing expectations really well. Her studio is super cute, the work she committed to between fittings was always complete in time, and working with her was just super easy in general. She also helped alter a jumpsuit I will be wearing to my reception, which was also a fairly complex situation, and turned out AWESOME. I am thrilled with the outcome on both pieces and just cannot say enough good things about Diana. HIGHLY recommend!

Diana is the ultimate professional and there's no one else I'd have trusted with my wedding dress. She made perfect alterations to my dress (took it in, gave the bust a bit more structure/support, and added a bustle) and it fit me perfectly. Her studio is so cozy and welcoming and I was totally at ease during the entire process. Also, I was on the fence about adding a veil but she swayed me when she showed me an idea she had of a veil with the most gorgeous, unique fabric that really complemented my dress. I ended up loving it! I would highly recommend Diana to anyone looking for alterations or a unique accessory! She's also a really talented designer and I wish I could have a second wedding so I could wear one of her House of Deane original dresses!

There are not enough amazing things I can say about Diana and House of Deane. I was looking to do some unorthodox things to my wedding dress (dip-dye it orange) and I knew I couldn't take it to just anyone. I read just about every review for every tailor in New York City, and in the end the only person I would trust with my wedding dress was House of Deane. From the moment I set foot in Diana's shop I knew I was in the best hands. She was super excited to bring my idea to dip-dye my dress to life, and basically rebuilt the dress to ensure it would hold the dye and look the way I was envisioning. She also was able to put me in touch with a friend of hers, Wayfarer Bride, who speciallized in dip-dyed veils and would be able to do the actual dye job. Like I said, Diana was going to be the only person to tailor this dress, so when she made the move to Austin I happily flew down for my final fitting, and on the wedding day the dress fit perfectly and looked amazing! Not only is Diana as talented as it gets, she's also one of the kindest people you will ever meet. Seriously, if you have the chance to work with House of Deane, do it.

Diana is the absolute best bridal designer and tailor. She can do it all and she knows her stuff, an absolute boss in her craft. If you are looking for a custom bridal piece or bridal alternations, look no further! Now for my detailed experience: Diana saved my bacon! Diana was a referral from my bestie's wedding gown alternations contact. When I met Diana, I was in extreme bridal stress and was so unhappy about my dress. I had ordered a custom designer gown that was delivered completely outside my vision. After going through months worth of two to three rounds of revisions, I ended up taking the original sample dress. - Diana was able to take my sample dress multiple sizes down to fit me - no problem, and fast! The boutique owner didn't even know if it was possible! - After listening to my wedding day itinerary, Diana suggested and added a wristlet loop to my skirt, which came in so clutch throughout the day! I didn't even know it was a possibility. - She also suggested and created a ballgown bustle (again, didn't know it was a thing) that gave me the look I wanted! - She listened to all my many specific concerns and calmly guided me through all options/scenarios and what they would look like to ensure we were always on the same page. I felt like she truly got me and she made me feel at ease, like I finally didn't have to worry about my dress! - She even made me custom hair clips that matched the flowers of my gown!! After a few visits I saw some of her custom pieces and one really caught my eye. She let me try it on and I HAD TO HAVE IT for my rehearsal dinner! The most precious bridal romper one ever did see - the Birdie. She altered that to fit me as well, and I may have loved it more than my wedding dress. Diana was a HUGE blessing to my bridal journey and I am SO grateful to have met her. I hope other brides are lucky enough to work with Diana in the future! She will not disappoint!
