Irene's Studio

Very skilled seamstress, my alterations to my jacket made it look like it was made for me

Irene is the best!

I got my dress from Kleinfeld 3 weeks before my wedding and instead of paying their ridiculous price for alterations (not to mention the fact that I didn't trust them to do a good job or get it done on time) - I went with Irene who was HIGHLY recommended to me by a couple friends - one of whom had entrusted her with her wedding dress just a few months prior.

The shop is busy and you may need to wait - but she honours every appointment and ensures that events closer in the future are prioritized - which is a plus for brides needing their alterations turned around quickly!

At my first appointment, the second I stepped out of the dressing room in my gown - Irene went straight to work pinning everything delicately and letting me know exactly what she was doing to ensure I would have the best fit and be comfortable all day/night long. My dress had a lot of beading and I was pleased to see that nothing was damaged throughout the process..

The price was a fraction of what I'd pay to Kleinfeld and Irene took the utmost care in steaming my dress and making sure it was perfect for my big day at my last appointment.

Thank-you so much Irene! I have sung your praises to everyone I know in need of wedding dress alterations.

Irene has done a fabulous job with my bridal gown alterations and is so lovely to work with. She was able to accommodate my short timeline and puts me completely at ease. Would highly recommend Irene!
