Can't say enough about the exceptional service and caring that was extended to myself and my two daughters from Karie and the alterations staff that helped us.... I am a somewhat capable seamstress and thought I could hem my own dress .. well life happens and my world turned upside down with the unexpected and time escaped me and here I was a month and a half out from the wedding and my dress was not hemmed and I am the mother of the bride !!! My daughter the bride was having her alterations done here and i came with her -- so in desperation I asked "would you be somehow able to hem my dress as well?" .. and Karie said absolutely !.. and fit me in the schedule right then and there !!! And a week later, my daughter the maid of honor brought her dress to them as well. From beginning to end for myself, my daughter the maid of honor, and my daughter the bride - the professionalism and caring was exceptional - so were the workmanship of all the alterations - they made sure my daughters and I were 100% happy and did what was necessary to make it what we wanted.. The cost was disclosed to us upfront and it was honored throughout - no additional hidden fees..... They took care of all 3 of us - and we do not hesitate to speak highly of them to anyone we know that need great, efficient and perfect alterations - If you need alterations, come here first- you wont need to look any further - definitely 5+ star service !! Thank you staff at Influence Apparel so much for outfitting us so beautifully !!!

If I could give zero stars I would!! My dress broke the night before the wedding I'm standing up in. And now I'm Scrambling to fix myself. I will be calling for A refund. 245 for a broken dress. Not to mention the fabric of the dress was not taken into account after altering and the folded pattern is pulling away from the seams and a few stickers have already broke. Just from trying it on. It went from a bag. To this place back into a bag and then to my home where I was going to steam it (suggested by them) and tried it on to see what spots needed it. I also do not think I ever met with the seamstress once. The person altering my dress and I never spoke. I feel as though as an "expert" they should be the ones to direct you in what can and can not be fixed with a dress. I wanted the dress taken in a bit as it was falling off at the top, but now it's entirely too tight and hurts. I'm honestly dreading having to wear this all day, and the constant worry of it breaking again or even worse. The zipper also will not stay up due to how tight it is. Of course you try this ok before leaving, but you stand there and look into a mirror. Maybe I should have acted as if I was in the dance floor to test drive this before leaving. Just do not go here, save your money and your sanity.

They were really expensive and didn't even steam my gown for me. After taking it home and steaming it myself it just didn't lay right. not worth the money. Nordstrom does a better job.

I'm so glad I went here for my wedding dress alterations. All team members were super friendly and welcoming. I only needed a few alterations done to my dress. They were very patient with my indecisiveness and very willing to work with me to brainstorm ideas on precisely what I needed. I really like that they don’t charge extra if you need something further corrected that already was part of your agreed-upon alterations (considering everything “wedding” is already soooooo expensive). I have already referred a few family members and friends to get their alterations done here! :)Service: Alterations

Influence apparel was challenging to work with at times, as they had to reschedule my appointments multiple times. They did a good job altering my wedding dress to fit overall, but unfortunately did not tack down the lace well, so it was falling off after having the dress on for just an hour. This was very disappointing considering the price I paid for their services.

Influence Apparel did an amazing job with my wedding gown for my June 2023 wedding. It fit me like a glove. As a plus size bride, fit was super important to me; you can see from the photos that standing still or moving around, that dress continued to showcase me in the most flattering way possible. They also did a great job making an intricate bustle with 9 hooks in the back. I appreciate what a great job they did and how they were able to do everything in a really reasonable timeframe. They were also sweet to work with and got things done when they said they would. Come here for quality work.Services: Wedding gown alterations

I went to this place because the bridal shop recommended them. I took them my dress on May 17. At this time, the seamstress pinned the top, about 2” on each side and pinned a bustle. The cost was $315 which seemed appropriate for the work. Fast forward to July 25, I go to pick up my dress. When I put it on, the top seemed to have never been done. She was able to pin 2” on each side again. I had to cut our lake trip to be sure I could get my dress in time for my wedding. Picking up my dress felt rushed. When I got home, I put it on again and noticed strings everywhere. Also the arm holes (near the armpit) were 2 different sizes. The bustle is the only part that looks perfect but she used what looks like bra clasps instead of something more… bridal dress formal. I’ve had alterations on a bridal gown before as this is my second wedding and the level of detail and skill set the other seamstress had was lightyears ahead of influence apparel. Sadly, the other woman retired. I’m sure this place is fine for a formal dress but I would never recommend a bride uses influence apparel.Service: Alterations

I used Influence Apparel for my wedding dress alterations. Karie and Michelle were both great and very down-to-earth, real people. When I took my dress home after the final alteration my dress looked like it was made exactly for me. I was very happy with the final result. I will be honest I was somewhat shocked with the pricing, as the first quote was more than I paid for my wedding dress. But Karie worked with me to figure out how we could adjust some of the alterations to get the same effect for a less expensive price, which I thought was very great customer service and especially kind. I would definitely recommend using them and would go back again in the future!Service: Alterations

Influence Apparel did an amazing job on my wedding gown alterations, and I could not be happier! Due to having long sleeves and a lot of lace, my wedding gown needed a lot of edits, but the ladies at Influence Apparel put in the extra effort needed and made it happen! Karie was very organized, professional, and super friendly. I am so thankful to them and highly recommend!Service: Wedding gown alterations

The amazing ladies alternated my wedding dress perfectly! They listened to what I wanted AND after taking it home and trying it on decided I wanted more taken in. Carrie was so sweet and said of course we want you to feel your best and got my dress done asap. I so appreciate the time and hard work put in to make it perfect. High recommend!Services: Alterations

Influence Apparel was AMAZING! I normally do not write reviews but this place was so great that I felt the need to write one! The service was incredible (they even scheduled to see me on a Sunday when they were closed to make sure my dress was ready by the wedding date)! In terms of work quality, I could not be happier! They added material to a formal gown with a lot of intricate bead work and the dress looks incredible! I couldn't be happier! I will be sure to return to them for any future alterations! I highly recommend!Service: Alterations

Oh my goodness. These ladies. They work WONDERS. I don’t know how they do it! My dress was a bit too big and quite unflattering straight from the store but they made it into the most elegant and classy dress I have ever worn. They made me feel like a superstar! Thank you so much! ❤️Service: Alterations

Made me feel like a superstar!! I had them take in the waste, hem the bottom, shorten the straps, add new cups in, and add a modesty piece to the front chest area! (It was quite a low V). These ladies are so kind, and the dress went from being loose and risqué to being the most elegant dress I've ever worn due to their expertise. Perf
