Testimonials

I can’t even begin to explain the professionalism and top notch work that Rita does! She is a superb Taylor with an expertise for Galia Lahav dresses and other designer gowns. I live in San Diego so she was the closest tailor that’s experienced in Galia Lahav dresses which by the way was a recommendation from the actual GL store and several stores. I brought my COUTURE dress in and we did a fitting and she explained every detail and recommendations for my dress. My dress had extensive beadwork and a beaded mesh back. This dress took months to make in Israel. I had lost a lot of weight and it unfortunately hung on me like a tapestry. But with Rita’s help she explained what needed to be done and she even asked me if any of her recommendations were okay with me. Honestly, I was really afraid that my dress would get butchered, the delicate beading and lace is so fragile I didn’t even want anyone to touch it….She made sure that she did what I wanted and showed me the areas that needed altering. My dress had a very delicate illusion mesh back which you could see the ripples from it being too big when tried on. It did need to get taken in on the sides a bit and cups added. I was quite nervous because the gown is so expensive and took months to make. I went in a couple times. First time is the actual fitting where they pin you, second she took it in and you try on the dress. Third, she completed the gown along with my train and I was able to take it home. I am relatively flat chested and she was able to bring my cup size about 1.5 sizes bigger without it looking unnatural. The original cup size I believe was a C but the added cups helped bring the dress up. The side seams look like it hadn’t been re-stitched. She redid the back illusion mesh and restored it to its original without having any rippling in the back making it look seamless. Truly remarkable! I also have to say that out of all the fittings I had (because I have more than one dress) she was a delight to meet with and so very kind and professional! She really does take the time with you to ensure your dress is perfection. I had a different experience at a different tailor and it was horrible. They tend to be overbooked and I highly recommend getting your dress tailored early and booking those sessions right away. I recommend Rita for all new brides!! She truly is the best!

Rita is an expert at her craft. My wedding dress was extremely detailed with a ton of floral and pearl embellishments. Rita not only made it so the length was perfect and it fit me like a glove, but she added more floral pieces around the seams on the sides to cover the seams and make them less noticeable. She is so sweet and always made time for me if I needed to change my appt time. Also, the custom bustle she made was GORGEOUS and secure. I can’t recommend Rita enough, it was such a pleasure to work with her!

Rita is a life saver! I’m the mother of the bride and had my dress tailored twice before finding Rita (3 days before my daughters wedding). I was very frustrated because the dress was not fitting correctly and of course I wanted to look my best for my daughters wedding. My daughter had her wedding dress alterations with Rita and it turned out stunning. So, I called Rita for a favor… and she got me in the very next day. When I visited her private studio in Corona Del Mar, Rita could tell I was visibly upset and emotional. At that moment, Rita looked at me and said ” I got you.” And she delivered on her promise- the dress exceeded my expectations. It fit me like she made the dress for me and I think I even shed a tear. She is professional, timely, and such a beautiful person. Grateful that she helped make the wedding so perfect for both me and my daughter. Go see Rita, she’s got you.

I can’t say enough about how wonderful my experience was with Rita. She is a detailed perfectionist. I had some personal insecurities with my dress, and she fixed everything to perfection and gave me tips and tricks that saved the day! I live over an hour away and could have gone to someone else for my alterations, but I am so glad that I didn’t. She is worth the drive and she truly is worth every penny!!! Dont walk RUN to her for your alterations! You will not regret it. Thank you again Rita! My family and I are sending everyone your way!

ita did a FANTASTIC job tailoring my wedding dress! She made it fit like a glove and it was absolutely stunning. I had no trouble with my dress falling or feeling like it was uncomfortable. She was able to fix my sleeve as well by adding elastic and made them less puffy. She was quick and made all adjustments as I asked. It was worth the drive from Orange. Thank you Rita so so much!! 10/10 recommend getting Rita to help you with your dress!

Rita is absolutely A M A Z I N G! We were introduced to her through The White Dress. Her warm and generous presence was evident right from the start. My daughter and I wanted to have some special alterations and sleeves made for her wedding dress. Rita went above and beyond in creating the PERFECT finishing touches for the dress. Her attention to detail is wonderful. She is very fair in pricing and treated us like her only clients. She is present and incredibly talented in all areas of alterations and design. I highly recommend Rita for your wedding dress (and other) alterations and seamstress needs.

I had so many things to alter for my wedding, a fitted mermaid gown, ballgown, veil, cape she tailored all of them to a tee. I was worried about everything getting done in time but she did it efficiently and well.

Rita was absolutely amazing!!!! I was extremely picky when it came to my Galiah Lahav dress and Rita did a fantastic job. She was very patient and never said no to another appointment. You can tell how much love she puts into her dresses and she wears her heart on her sleeve. If you want a perfect dress alternation for your wedding go to Rita!!!!! 10/10

Tarra L.

Rita did the alterations for my wedding dress and I couldn’t be happier. Im from LA and purposefully made the drive to CDM because there’s no one I trusted more. She listened to my vision and completely worked with to make my dress perfect. Couldn’t recommend her more

Annabelle W.

Rita is amazing! I bought a used dress that had been discontinued and had to have it adjusted to fit me. It was a very expensive couture gown so it was a complicated process. She took such special care of my wedding dress and was so incredibly patient. She made sure I was happy and was dedicated to getting it perfect! Thank you, Rita!

Rita was amazing to work with! She was patient and let me come back until my dress was perfect for my big day as I had lost inches in my chest area and we had to keep taking it in. She also altered a second dress that I changed into as my wedding was on NYE and I wanted a party dress! I felt so beautiful on my wedding day! Thank you Rita!

I came to this bridal shop when I was casually looking for wedding dresses after my engagement and let me tell you nothing compares to the service provided by Shah. He was AMAZING and so helpful in this process. I decided to go view other shops and came right back due to the wonderful and beautiful quality of the dresses and of course the 11/10 customer service!!! I definitely recommend coming here to say YES to the dress!

Rita was great to work with and helped make my dress so beautiful. She did custom work on the bust of my dress. She is very talented and has great ideas and flawless execution.
 

Claire S.

Rita altered my two wedding gowns, both Galia Lahav. It was a great experience with her. I’ve heard so many horror stories about alterations, but Rita listened to all my concerns and put me at ease. Her confidence and expertise in altering complicated and delicate material is amazing. I highly recommend Rita for all your alterations! She made the gowns fit me like a glove, and came up with creative ideas for when alterating wasn’t needed. Rita knows what she’s doing, go to her!

Jade P.

Rita did an incredible job with alterations for my wedding dress. The dress was ordered too big and she was able to reshape the top part of the dress to perfectly fit my body! She took her time to make sure everything was perfect and she was able to complete everything under a tight deadline. Thank you for making my dream wedding dress Rita!

Rita is absolutely wonderful. She tailored my wedding dress beautifully and created the most elegant gloves to complete the look. I put it all in her hands and she more than delivered. An expert in her craft and lovely human.

Rita is a gem! I had a vision of a big cinderella dress from when I was a little girl and Rita helped bring my vision to life! I also didn’t give her a lot of time and she met with me several times after work at 7pm to make everything perfect! As you guys know big dresses are harder to find in stores now. I bought a full A line and she transformed it to a beautiful ballgown that extenuated my waistline to compliment my figure. She also was very creative with the bustle and did a American/French mix that was like a elegant cinderella without loosing the back designs. Highly recommend!

Rita is amazing!!!!! She is so kind and talented! Rita customized my Galia Lahav wedding dress perfectly. I explained what I wanted and she did that exactly. She tailored the dress to my body exactly and lowered the back on my dress to make it look better than I could have imagined.

I found Rita through The White Dress. I had purchased my dress in FEB 2020  and then COVID happened. As you can see in the pictures where was nowhere to hide in the dress I selected so I was vey concerned with how I would be able to wear this comfortably on my wedding day. Rita let me know she could let my dress out which no bride ever wants to hear but she was kind, professional and made me feel like she could make this dress perfect for me.

WOW. 10/10. I came to Rita with my wedding in TWO WEEKS. We had to reschedule several times due to covid and I was in a rush to find a dress. I finally found one at Laguna Bridal Boutique (also incredible ). Rita was the seamstress and she took an amazing dress and made it PERFECT. I’ve never worn anything that has fit as well as this dress.
