Bettina made my wedding dress dreams come true!!!! I had a very complicated requested (not only did I need my dress altered and hemmed, but I also wanted to add sleeves to the dress…). This was complicated because the back of the dress was very open and I wanted it to stay that way. Bettina came up with a great idea. She created a body suit that I wore underneath the dress that made it look like I had sleeves (but they were “bare” sleeves) while also keeping a lot of my skin somewhat exposed. It was fabulous. I had several fittings with her and she worked so hard and did a great job!!!!

Betty did such a wonderful job! This is my mother's dress which is about 25 years old. To alter such a simple-looking dress was extremely difficult due to the material. Any small change would make it fold in all the worst ways possible. We thought we got the alterations to the point where it was smooth.The day before my wedding I thought it would be a good idea to practice walking and I realized that when I walked, the dress would fold so badly creating a horrible eye sore. (don't be me and practice walking in your dress so you know if it lays correctly) When I just stood still it looked okay, but it would not work for the wedding day. So I called Betty and asked her what to do, and she said come now so she can fix it.Unfortunately, I live 3 hours away--and that was just one way. I drove to her and she stayed for hours trying to figure out a way to alter the dress so it laid flat and smooth. She saved the day and was so sweet about it. We tried countless ways to sew the dress, and this was the only one out of what felt like a hundred that worked. She is amazing, and she will do anything she can to make your dress beautiful on you.Lastly, word of advice, unless it is cut perfectly, stay away from the material of the dress I have....you will be in alterations forever if you do, or maybe you will have to do a total 9-hour trip the night before your wedding and be exhausted the next day! haha

Bettina has absolutely amazing gowns and is a fabulous seamstress! I actually purchased my gown from Bettina as well. She had tons of gowns for me to try, and she has a great variety of gowns. Once I found my gown, Bettina altered the dress. It fits perfectly! Thank you so much again Bettina!!

Bettina is so very skilled. If you want to be in the best hands, don’t hesitate in giving her a call. She did exactly what I asked and created the most beautiful bow for me to add to my gown for reception. She’s the best! And her prices are very reasonable as well, she’s a lovely person to work with.

Bettina has been fantastic from day one to finish my wedding dress. Since I re-wore my sister's wedding dress, it was dirty, and many alterations had to be done. She cleaned my dress like brand new and understood the areas where it needed to be adjusted to my needs. The dress came out perfectly and fit me like a glove. She paid attention to the details I requested and made it all happen! Also, besides my wedding dress, I had 2 dresses I wanted to wear for my wedding week. It was about 2 weeks before the wedding, but she made it work, and while we were discussing the length of the dress, with her experience and knowledge, she suggested a few recommendations that go along with the dresses. It came out beautifully, and I received so many compliments from the guests. Also, after my wedding, I needed to dry clean my dress but wasn't sure where to take it since I feared they would mess the dress. But, of course, Bettina will take care of this for me, so I will have them cleaned by her company & crew. Thank you for helping me feel and look beautiful on my wedding day!

I was afraid to trust my exquisite wedding dress to an alterations shop, knowing nothing about it. But Bettina was just a perfect experience.Bettina put a lot of detailed, highly skilled work into the bodice of my wedding dress, until it fit like a glove and supported me perfectly. She had me come back a few times until everything fit just right. Her pricing was fair, clear and accurate. My dress was lace and delicate, but I could never see a single stitch she made, inside or out. ( I actually wonder if Bettina altered this dress by magic, like Cinderella's fairy godmother.)Bettina is not just a gifted sewist, however. She is a stylist. I came in with no experience in dressing for formal occasions (artsy bookish Montrose girl here, last manicure was in like 2016 if that tells you anything) toting a horrible 15$ veil from JJ Bridal House. Bettina saved me from myself! Without any pressure or sales-y stuff, Bettina looked through her stash and found me a beautiful, bespoke veil, and a hand beaded belt, both at great prices. She told me where to go for affordable but elegant wedding earrings and helped me decide on how to wear my hair. Every step of the way, Bettina made me feel confident and beautiful. Don't think you have to live in River Oaks to go to Bettina's. She is going to take care of you.I had an elegant, beautiful dress. With Bettina I learned how to truly wear it.(Photo by Khanh Nguyen Photography)

Betty did an amazing job on my dress with a short time frame and with my being pregnant! She made appointment times for me the week of my wedding to ensure the best fit for any pregnancy weight gain in my 7 months. She accommodated all my requests and explained if something wouldn’t work on the fit. She was timely, extremely professional and always welcoming even if I was running late for a fitting. This is my only experience with wedding dress alterations, and I thought the price was high, but from talking to other brides it’s customary. Overall, worth the amazing seamstress work! My dress and veil were ironed and ready to wear on the day I picked up. I have already referred her to others.

Bettina really worked miracles on this dress. I bought it as a sample of a discontinued dress from Louvienne “Luna”. There was so much beading detail and over 10 layers of the skirt made with every material (tulle, organza, satin). My bustle had over 20 snaps as well. She had to adjust the cups and take in a lot of areas but In the end everything was perfect.

Finding someone that you can trust to work on your dress, especially if it’s couture is extremely stressful. Bettina is extremely talented. My dress had a lot of beating it had sleeves which I wanted to make them detachable for the reception party. She was able to detach the sleeves without , showing the clips that she added everyone at my wedding complimented me on my dress and how beautiful and well-fitted it was on me. I lost a lot of weight due to stress of school and planning a wedding, and Bettina literally saw me a week before the wedding to adjust my dress. She is an angel I highly highly recommend her.

Bettina is INCREDIBLE! I went to her with my wedding dress which was originally made with a hoop skirt that I wanted removed, but it was tricky bc of the material of my dress. She seamlessly altered the dress and then adjusted the hemline perfectly. Since then my mom has had several of her dresses altered by Bettina and now my sister-in-law is using her as well for her upcoming wedding. We’ve all had wonderful experiences!Bettina is a true professional and a lovely person. I can’t recommend her highly enough!

Bettina and a few other places were recommended to me by the bridal shop I actually purchased my dress from. After reading a few reviews, I placed my bet on Bettina and I am so happy I did! She was very detail oriented and really cared about how the dress fit on my body. I had a destination wedding in Mexico so we went over every detail of the dress - from CREATING a bustle to ensuring I wore the right type of spanx/skims LOL! For reference, my dress had no buttons or zippers or boning it in; it was a Grace Loves Lace dress. I can not speak highly enough about her and how amazing her work is!!! I would gladly recommend her to any bride! You will not regret it!

CANNOT recommend Bettina enough. I’m not from here and nervously read through a mix of good and bad reviews at numerous places. I WAS a little skeptical of all 5 star reviews, but going to Bettina for my wedding dress alterations was the best decision. My dress was pretty complicated, and Bettina went above and beyond to get the multiple layers the perfect length and sewed 5 buttons for the bustle. There were detailed beads I wanted removed and she did it perfectly! I even brought my 2nd casual dress in that she was able to put adjustable straps inside and hem it all for a VERY REASONABLE PRICE. I feel so lucky to have come across Bettina.

Betty is truly a master at her craft and really cares about her client’s satisfaction. She made sure my wedding dress fit perfectly and that I was 100% happy with it before I took it home after several fittings. My dress was full lace with beads and I was so impressed that I couldn’t tell where she cut the lace and hemmed for my 5’ frame. She even made me custom detachable drop sleeves at my request, and they turned out amazing! Thank you again, Betty!

Ms. Bettina is absolutely amazing! She is professional, timely, honest, and affordable! Mrs. Bettina restructured my dress and made it look like it was made just for me. She also made a custom blusher veil that perfectly matched my cathedral veil. In addition to her expertise, Ms. Bettina made sure I was COMPLETELY satisfied with my dress and veils before returning them to me.I recommend Bettina Bridal Couture to all brides without hesitation! Especially those who have a perfect dress in mind and want it to become a reality!
