Sylvia is truly a master at her craft. She made sure that my wedding dress fit perfectly and helped with all of my requests. She is fast, skilled, and incredibly kind. I’m so glad I entrusted my dress to Sylvia and would recommend her to any other brides-to-be
I truly had such an amazing experience having my wedding dress altered here. My dress had many small beads and details and was very heavy, but the alterations she made worked so perfectly and lasted beautifully through the entire wedding. She was such a sweet and thorough seamstress, and I will most definitely be using and recommending her for anyone in the future.
I’ve been coming here for several years for alterations and neither Sylvia nor Iria disappoint. Iria has handled all of my dress alterations and has always done an amazing job and has been very punctual with her work. Sylvia did the alterations on my wedding dress years back and was so thorough and took care of every detail. I recommend this place to everyone I know who needs alterations
I cannot recommend Sylvia enough. I needed a bridesmaid dress I bought a year ago hemmed and resized a little since i gained a lot of weight in my upper body and it fits wonderfully now!! It was done in one week and Sylvia was incredibly understanding and flexible with my schedule for fitting and pickup! I got stuck in traffic and was over an hour late. Best experience for alterations in Tampa I've had for sure.
Sylvia is amazing! I knew I wanted to get a wedding dress secondhand. Once I found the dress I wanted online on StillWhite, I approached Sylvia early on and she helped me create a timeline for making sure I got the dress in time for her to do any necessary alterations. She also took my measurements so I knew what questions to ask on the app. When the dress arrived, she did the typical alterations —added a bustle and pulled in the sides —but, I also wanted some stylistic changes including changing out the bra cups and adding a slit and sleeves. She loved the challenge and the stylistic changes came out better than I could have imagined! She really transformed the dress into something that felt more like me and was incredibly affordable. Highly recommend!
