Reviews of Angie Lu (Tailor)

Angie and her staff are amazing! I got my wedding dress tailored here and everything came out perfect. Couldn’t have been happier with how we were treated and how my dress came out. Thank you again!

Lena was beyond amazing! She made my wedding dress fit like a glove! Her store is insanely clean and spotless. She really cares about making everything perfect. She is honest and kind and will go above and beyond for any request. She is also open on the weekends which was very helpful since I came from Boston for each fitting. I would not trust anyone else with my wedding dress. Lena is the best, hands down!

They're good, but obscenely expensive, they definitely price themselves for wealthy locals. If you're looking for something simple, or something other than the finest imported fabric, look elsewhere.

Lina and the women in her shop did a beautiful job on Brittany's wedding dress. They accommodated her out of state schedule for fittings and made everything as smooth as possible for us. The attention to detail and perfect tailoring end result was beautiful.

I had two pairs of jeans hemmed. They told me $28, which I thought was steep, but since they are close to my home I went with it. It turns out that was their price per pair! It cost me $56. Ridiculous. See Lucy's Tayor in Branford. She charges $12 a pair.

Great service! They can fix anything!

Angie did a fantastic job on my wedding dress! I was new to the area and had a difficult dress to alter due intricate lace at the bottom of my dress which had to be moved in order to alter the length. Angie is a perfectionist and made sure the dress fit me perfectly before I left my last appointment. She even insisted on delivering my wedding dress to my car at the end of my last fitting. I also found the price very reasonable when I compared it to other friends who had their dresses altered.

Julie Petrillo

Lina and her staff are pure perfection. Professional, warm, welcoming and a beautiful bridal suite with a water view. There is really no one I’d recommend more

They are amazing there, they were able to fix a blazer that was ruined by another tailor who made the arms to tight. I was afraid I'd have to donate it but Angie Lu's was able to make it fit perfectly! Now whenever we need something tailored we bring it .

Wish I could write a happy review, but I would not want another bride to have to go through the same experience as I had here. I was referred to this location from Everthine Bridal Boutique to have my wedding gown altered. To start, the prices are outrageous, for a hem, to let out sides less than an inch and a small lace removal on a simple/pIain gown I was quoted initially $900. The price was graciously reduced to $600. After the first fitting, I brought up some concerns over fit and I was told to not tell her "how to do my job" and that "brides come from all over to have the dress fit the way it does". I was also told that if I called the boutique where I purchased the gown with any complaints she "would not do the alterations". After the second fitting, the dress fit even worse and truly looked like a loose sack. My mother in law brought up concerns and was given the same defensive replies. I decided that I was going to stop alterations at this location and requested to take my dress. I was told "it is against the law" and after I agrued that point I was told "it is against the contract". After re-reading the contract in front of Lena I pointed out there is nothing in the contract that prohibits me taking my own dress. I was then provided a blank sheet of paper and requested to write on my own why I was taking the gown. The lack of craftsmanship, professionalism and outrageous prices is hopefully enough to deter brides. It is unnecessary stress to have to unfortunately deal with this business. I was able to find someone who salvaged the gown, had to completely un-stitch and re-sew, hem, and add beautiful lace details all to make it fit perfectly for a very reasonable price!

Angie Lu is a wonderful place! Lina the owner is also so pleasant and professional. She make you feel at home anytime of the day! It is always a delight coming through those doors!

$$$$$ you would think we had a wedding dress altered. Which a friend of mine did and it was less then we had for pants. I asked a few friends and other businesses what they would charge and they were well under Angie’s. Also, they should tell you the cost before alterations are done what it will cost. We learned the VERY expensive way. Could have bought brand new pants for what they charged to alter.

Lena is an absolute gem in a business that deals with an art that is becoming obsolete and some of us really appreciate that. Not only is tailoring a gown incredibly pain staking in itself that requires a life long amount of endless evolution and the styles and construction of gowns evolve, but they are also the face of your wedding or special event and can often have to balance the clients nerves, anxieties and insecurities along with the initial job at hand which is to tailor your gown. The shop/studio itself is absolutely beautiful with a newly remodeled alteration section complete with immaculate herringbone floors that you can eat off of, a wet bar, and coffee/espresso. You go in feeling like the only person in the store. Pinning a gown doesn’t take long, it’s completely painless. The service itself is incredible. I walk in and they know me by name, the employees are very nice and accommodating. I’ve had 3 gowns tailored here to perfection and had a custom Italian suit (which they sell in the shop) tailored to perfection. When investing in a special gown, you should also invest in a perfect tailoring job. The 1st thing I notice when at a wedding is a dress that could’ve been perfect, if only the tailoring was taken more seriously. Lena and her employees are invaluable to us and will obviously continue to utilize and refer everyone we know.

Love the clothes, the new digs and of course the tailoring are all top notch!
