Amazing at her work.

Violette is an angel that saved my life! The tailor who was supposed to fix my dress literally screw it up. I was desperate, and had only three weeks to my wedding. I found Violette online, read her reviews, and decided to try; and it was the best decision I could have made. Violette saved my dress in four days. She fixed the horrible job the other tailor did and made my dress perfect again. She even added a beautiful detail on my shoulders, when I told her that I was insecure that my arms were too big. And she heard me when I said that I was afraid I would have to keep pulling the dress up and put an elastic inside to give me more support. She is an amazing person and a wonderful tailor. Great service, great price. I recommend her 10000000%!

Violette was great but unfortunately she left a hole in the sleeve of my wedding dress that I only noticed a few weeks prior to my wedding day. I had to go see another seamstress and pay to get it fixed last minute! Unfortunately won't be going back here in the future.

Violette is so easy to work with and willing to do whatever it takes to make her bride happy. I’m so glad I found this gem. Excellent service and excellent work

I sent an e-mail and got a response to please call a number instead. I called twice, left 2 messages and never received so much as a call back.

Violette did my wedding gown alterations. She swapped out straps, dealt with a difficult hem, and added deco to it. She was extremely patient, and I loved working with her.

Violette did my wedding dress alterations: the hem, the bustle, and taking up the straps. She did a great job! In person she was professional, friendly, and efficient, and everything was done with plenty of time, without a hitch. Thank you Violette!

Like everyone else has said, Violette is very sweet and nice and pleasant to be around. You can go to her home for alterations and she will try to work around your schedule. Despite this, I would avoid Violette at all costs for your wedding gown alterations. The first time I arrived for alterations (at least 3 weeks after my first fitting) Violette had completely forgotten I was coming and had not started ANY alterations on my dress. I came back several more times for additional fittings. On what was going to be my last fitting I told her that I felt the dress was too big (there was too much "bunching" around the abdomen with the lace). She told me that this was because she had been working with the lace and that once I have the dress steamed things will tighten up and will look perfect. She assured me that this would fix the problem and tried to reassure me. As expected this did not fix the problem and the dress looked horrible. At this point it was the week of my wedding and I was out of the state in my hometown. I took the dress to another seamstress and she was appalled that someone would let me leave with a dress looking like this. She listed 7 or 8 things that were wrong with the dress and showed me all of the "shortcuts" Violette had taken with doing the alterations. The lace was not lined up appropriately, the inner lining was too tight leading to bunching, there was no shape in the waistline and she also found areas of ripped lace. This other seamstress completely redid my dress and made it look perfect in record time! I spend hundreds of dollars to have the dress steamed at a professional wedding gown cleaner and another $250 in alterations. Violette did reimburse me for the $250 spent. I would not recommend Violette to any one for alterations.
