Van Lear is ran by the sweetest woman in the world. Consider this place LGBTQ friendly. She altered me and my Wife’s dresses and we had alternating appointments so she would hide our dresses every time from one another, lol. The price is very fair to the point it’s surprising. Forget David’s bridal, you need love to be put into your dress, and you won’t regret coming here.

Lora was absolutely amazing!! She was able to turn my dress around in a small timeframe and made sure it fit just perfectly. It hit exactly how I wanted to at my feet and the cups she inserted helped fit perfectly up top.

Lora is an absolute gem at what she does! I brought her a dress without sleeves and asked her to create an illusion sleeve for my wedding gown. Lora went above and beyond, giving me a dress I never even dreamed of! I received so many compliments on my dress, and sleeves specifically! Thank you for being so great, Lora! You touched my heart in a way I could never repay.

Van Lear was a godsend for my wedding dress! It was altered to fit me like a glove. I could not be happier with my decision to come here. She also added the perfect bustle that transformed my train into a sleek, elegant evening gown.

Lora is absolutely amazing and so very talented. She knew exactly how to alter my daughters’ wedding gowns and they were beyond ecstatic with the results. I have seen a few of her original designs and was very impressed with her artistry and quality. She is the best!!

Thank you so much Lora for all the amazing work you did on my wedding dress & veil. It turned out beautifully. That dress was everything I'd dreamed of & then more. You truly are very gifted. You were also a joy to work with. I knew after just a few min of meeting you that I wanted no one else to help make our special day more magical. I wish nothing but the best for you as you continue making others dreams come true & hope you're able to continue doing what you love for many more years

Thank you for being amazing to work with and amazing at your profession! I enjoyed the process of customizing my moms veils for my wedding and adding details to my dress with you. Both items turned out stunning and received so many complements and I felt like a beautiful bride the entire day!

Lora has a strong personality, but she did amazing with my wedding dress. She's so expensive, though, so I wouldn't recommend her. We weren't given a price quote up front about how much alterations would be. Had I known, I wouldn't have gone here. Please know now (because we were never told) she does not take cards.. check or cash only. We were ready to pay and all we had was card at first.... It was frustrating.

Very expensive for a regular top alteration and worse it wasn't even altered well. I don’t recommend at all.
