The seamstresses at Green & Blue Studio did a fabulous job making sure that my wedding dress fit me perfectly on my wedding day. They reconstructed part of my dress's bodice, hemmed my dress, and altered my sleeves. When I noticed a ripped seam a few weeks before my wedding, they quickly fixed it for me.

The team at Green & Blue are absolute miracle workers. I was highly anxious bringing my wedding dress in as I knew it would require a significant amout of alterations (boning in the bodice; needing to remove quite a bit of extra fabric in a detachabel skirt, reinforcing buttons in the back, you name it). Michaela was very calm, reassuring, and confident in their ability to make the dress into one I had envisioned. They are creative, extremely accommodating, and also honest and realistic about results. I would trust them with any garment. I especially want to sing Felice's praises as she took such care and detail during my last fitting. It made all the difference-- not only in how I looked, but how I felt!

Green & Blue studio completely knocked it out the park with my dress! I bought an off the rack couture gown that had a small tear in it. It turned out to be a huge problem and I had been told by another tailor that my dress was basically unfixable. Another tailor quoted me over $1,500 for the fix. I came to Green & Blue and they listened to me and came up with a solution of patching the dress and covering it with beadwork from my mother’s dress (which I wanted incorporate anyway). They were much more reasonable in price than the other tailor’s quote! I also was concerned that my dress would be falling down all night because it was strapless. They put in a sort of bra-type belt inside the dress for extra support and I danced the entire night away without worrying about it! They were super easy to work with and listening to all my concerns; reasonably priced; convenient location. I’m SO glad I went to Green & Blue and would recommend to anyone in the area!

Green and Blue Studio was easy to work with, a pleasant environment, and an overall great experience! I bought my dress off the rack and needed to get it altered to fit as well as have the belt attached. They listened to all my concerns and thoughts and had great input as well! It was clear that everyone there knew what they were doing! I needed only two fitting appointments and then was good to go! I was so happy with my dress and glad I went with Green and Blue Studio for alterations!

Amazing, amazing, amazing!! The service is incredible and they really made my wedding dress fit like a glove. I thought I loved my dress when I tried it on the boutique but nothing compared to trying it on at my final fitting at Green & Blue—it was my dream dress and the team helped make it fit so perfectly! 10/10!

I highly recommend Green and Blue Studio! They did a beautiful job on my dress, which needed a lot of work since it had to be taken in 4 sizes as well as adding boning and support for the girls.

I had my wedding dress altered with Green and Blue Studio and they were beyond patient and professional. I probably had more fittings than necessary but was being super particular with how my dress was fitting (as my body was changing leading up to the wedding). I'd be lying if I didn't say I was super stressed before each appointment but they always made me feel at ease once I was there. They spent so much time with me and ensured when I walked out of there each time I was confident with the alterations. I can't thank them enough!!! I will definitely use them for my dress cleaning and future alteration needs!

Had SUCH a good experience with Green and Blue Studio. They were recommended by the shop I bought my dress from and I'm really glad I went with them, although maybe a little bit pricier than some other places, worth every penny. My dress didn't need too many alterations because it was ordered to fit, but the Green and Blue team did so many little requests for me- they added a button from my grandmother's wedding dress to the back of mine, changed the bustle the second time I went when I changed my mind from French to American style, altered my tassel arm bands to fit perfectly and rather than adding padding to the bust where I didn't want it, they listened to me and took the boning out of the chest area right then and there so I could be sure that's what I wanted. Awesome experiences there and so happy with the final product. They did an AMAZING job and my dress was absolutely perfect.

Daniella and the team at Green and Blue Studio did an amazing job with alterations for my wedding gown. She was prompt, efficient, and professional in every interaction I had with her. Her work was incredibly detailed and my gown fit like a glove by our last fitting. I cannot thank her and the team at Green and Blue Studio enough for making me feel beautiful on my wedding day.

Green and Blue Studio did an amazing job with my Limor Rosen Rosemary dress. My dress was measured and handmade to fit my body. However, I bought 13 months before my wedding date. Green and Blue Studio helped fit my dress perfectly to my body. Each appointment was quick and easy. Their seamstress is absolutely amazing with her work. They also worked with my schedule being an out of town bride.

I had my wedding dress altered at Green and Blue. The dress was relatively simple (tulle with a lace overlay) and mostly fit my middle, but the bust needed to be taken in significantly and I needed it to be hemmed and bustled. I made the appointment several months in advance because I knew my dress was coming in only a few months before my wedding. When I went for the initial fitting, I was a bit taken aback by the cost ($950 of alterations for a $1300 dress, although I think some of that was the rush fee). I went to the studio three times and was able to take the dress home on the third visit. The alterations were very well done and the bustle was beautiful. The bustle was also more complicated then I thought it would be, my dress had three layers and they bustled each one separately and did a 7-point bustle with the top layer so the tulle would lay beautifully. After seeing the quality and thought that went into the alterations, I appreciated the cost. Both of the women who did my fittings were lovely and I am happy to have given them my business.

Green and Blue Studios did a fantastic job of easing my fears when my dress was a little too small, listening to my vision and making suggestions on how to achieve it. They welcomed me, one of my bridesmaids and my future mother-in-law into their studio and patiently let me FaceTime my sister so she could see the dress too. With their help I truly felt beautiful AND comfortable at my wedding.

These women are really the best. My appointments were so efficient and they took time to explain my bustle to a couple of bridesmaids I brought in. I loved how they took the time to make sure my dress was comfortable - they believe in understanding not just how it fits but how it will be worn. I wanted to dance in my dress and they took the time to make sure it was comfortable for a long day of wear! The final product was a perfect fit! I didn't think I needed much alteration but I'm so glad I went with Green and Blue because I fell in love with my dress all over again.
PS - I sent my bridesmaids here for alterations and they all raved about how easy the appointment was and how flawless the work was!

They're so amazing! My dress fit like a glove the day of and it's all due to Green and Blue Studio. They even put in cups so I wouldn't need a bra (what bride doesn't want that??)! They're so attentive and helpful every step of the way!

Great studio to go to for your wedding dress alterations. I will say that this shop is a little pricey, but the quality they deliver is top notch. The staff are extremely personable and they take the time to make sure your dress fits just right. After my third appointment, my dress fits perfectly and I can't wait to wear it on my wedding day!

I had an amazing experience with the Green and Blue team! I have a larger bust, and was worried there was no WAY my strapless wedding dress could stay up all night. After two appointments at Green and Blue, my dress fit perfectly, was absolutely not budging or falling down, and was super comfortable, too. All of the ladies who work at the studio are so nice, helpful, and very quick to communicate via email. SO happy I found them. Highly recommend their services!!

I got married in June 2017 and they tailored my wedding dress. Green and Blue Studio's location is a little strange (in an office building, so you have to call their phone and wait for an employee to come downstairs to get up to the studio), but that's really the only negative I experienced with them. The customer service is friendly, and they know what they're doing. They listened to me (though admittedly I didn't say much. I largely felt I should let the experts do what they do.) and the dress fit perfectly with an impeccably done hem. They were helpful with teaching my mom and bridesmaid how to do the bustle and the dress was comfortable. Very happy with their work.

Green and Blue did a wonderful job on my dress! It was a few sizes too big when ordered due to my measurements. It took a few more fittings than expected to fix it but they did not let me leave with my dress until it was perfect. Their commitment to quality work and detail oriented nature shone through in how they worked with my dress. It was an obvious challenge to take in a backless dress. Daniela was also experienced and personable. She kept me assured it would all work out in the end, which it did. I highly recommend Green and Blue for your wedding dress alterations. It is your wedding dress; it is worth the cost knowing you are in safe hands.

So I came here for my wedding dress and was quoted $900 for simple alterations to my dress. When I bought my dress I was told alterations would cost around $400 or less what a supprised I got here. So I went elsewhere and left a negative yelp review because they were quite rude and the price was sky high. And then the responded to my yelp review saying oh it's expencive since your dress is lace and it's a rush order... A) my dress is 100% satin with no lace B) I went there 5 months before my wedding... how is that a rush... Poor service and then lies to cover it up....

Green and Blue was wonderful. I came here after getting my dress hemmed by another seamstress who wasn't sure what to do with the top of the dress. It was too big, but she just added big cups. It looked fake. I don't think she knew what to do with the layers of lace and the corset-style top of the dress. Green and Blue knew exactly what to do. They took the top of the dress in and put darts in so that I didn't need to wear cups. I looked like a fairy tale princess on my wedding day. Thank you!

I used Green and Blue Studio to fit my wedding dress, on a recommendation of a friend who used them. They were super accommodating, rescheduling appointments and doing last minute changes (I sprained my ankle so had to redo the entire hem two weeks before!). The quality was good. There were little bits that weren't 100% perfect, but overall, I was pleased with the results and never was nervous they were going to mess it up or not have it ready in time. They take great care.

I took my wedding dress here for alterations! It was very expensive (around ~$850 for all the work I needed) but they did a 5 star job. Daniela was fantastic and everything came out perfect and on time. My dress was pretty complicated, with two separate pieces, and I needed a bustle, shortening of the dress hem, the shoulders needed work as well as the bust line. Overall, I am very happy!

Green and Blue is the most amazing alterations studio I could imagine. An NY wedding dress maker (who shall remain nameless) told me 16 days before my wedding that she had designed a dress she couldn't make, which left me dressless with just about two weeks to go. Green and Blue was able to take a dress I'd ordered offline and make it a) fit me like a glove, b) add the exact lace accents I wanted on my original dress, and c) turn it all around in - get this - three days. Daniela and her team are magicians and I wish I could recommend them ten times over. On top of all that, Daniela is so kind, so supportive, and such a professional, that I was actually grateful to have had this dress disaster, just so I could have gotten to use her services.

I brought my Hayley Paige wedding dress here for alterations, and the recommendation of Lovely Bride in DC (Lovely Bride works with Green and Blue, so they recommend all alterations take place there). The staff at Green and Blue were wonderful! They were all so nice, and the owner made me feel like I was in great hands. The alterations were done on time, with a few weeks to spare.
The only reason I cannot give them 5 stars is because when I picked my dress up, one of my bustles broke. They quickly fixed it (took them less than 2 minutes to stitch it back). Then on my wedding day, EVERY SINGLE bustle broke. So I could not bustle my dress. So I had to keep my train draped over my arm the entire night of the wedding. I complained to Green and Blue after the wedding, and they were super apologetic and ended up refunding me for all of my alterations. So they made it right in the end!

I have several times throughout the dying planning process which made dress alterations a bit of a challenge. I had heard that a lot of stores won't alter dresses purchased outside of their salon or require an apt six months in advance. I contacted a store near my new home early on and they said that they would indeed do the alterations and to call back when I was ready to come in and make an apt. Fast forward six months and the store changed their policy and wouldn't honor their previous guidance since it wasn't in writing, grr. In a frantic stTe I stumbled upon Green and Blue Studios and it was the luckiest thing that happened to me! I worked with Brittany who is just a talented and gifted seamstress/ clothing designer. She enjoyed the challenge that my dress posed and reassured me that it would fit got my wedding day - and she was exactly right! Plus, she worked with my then fiancée and helped to pull off his surprise of sewing in hearts from my parent, sister and him so that I could have something blue and something special (as if I needed more) to walk with me down the aisle. I can't thank her enough. The appointments were always on time or early, my dress progressed with alterations as promised/expected and they were so easy and efficient to work with. The alterations are not cheap but I knew they would be precise and perfect! I went back and sent my dress for preservation with them as well and it was about the same as other places but I can't say much more since my dres hasn't come back yet. I highly recommend this shop but keep in mind that it will likely be about 500 for alterations and I had a bustle, shortened length and hidden straps added to my beaded dress - all dresses are different so I think it could be less but after asking around, seems to be about the average price. I didn't ask them in fairness. That said after reading reviews of trains being chopped off and I'll fainting or late alterations, I'd gladly pay the price again! I highly recommend this vendor and Brittany!

If you need your wedding dress tailored and you live in the DC area then you should absolutely go to Green and Blue Studio! They have great attention to detail, are customer service oriented, reliable and do quality work.
I am so happy that I chose them as they did a fantastic job! Wedding planning can be stressful and it was a relief not to have to worry about my dress because I knew that it was in good hands. All of the staff at Green and Blue are professional and responsive. I had no problems making appointments, they would fit me in when it worked with my schedule. And the work that they did on the dress was high quality and impressive! I needed my dress brought in a fair amount, the train shortened a lot and work done to slim the cap sleeves. I also had them attach a sash, which was not straight forward since the back of my dress had a very deep V shape so they had to angle it. All in all, the team did a fantastic job!

The ladies at Green and Blue Studio managed to transform a potential wedding catastrophe into a highlight. My dress was supposed to arrive 2 months prior to the wedding, but when it arrived with only 2 weeks to spare in a fairly desperate condition (the top part of the dress was a completely different color than the bottom), Daniella and the other women at Green and Blue came to the rescue! They scheduled me for fittings at the last minute and did a rush transformation of my dress. By the time I picked it up the day before the wedding, it looked absolutely beautiful due to their meticulous skills as seamstresses and wedding dress design visionaries. I can't say enough good things about the service at Green and Blue and the wonderful owners.

I took my wedding gown after my wedding and had them turn it into a beautiful cocktail dress for me. They worked with me on every detail from lace color to dress design and had so much patience, never rushing me. They even allowed my 1 year old to show up with me, which as a mom means a lot.
I was certainly worried at first at how this would turn out, but I can honestly say that these women were the most professional I've worked with in a long time. I wish I had worked with them originally on my wedding gown. Never did I have an issue with rescheduling appointments or asking for their assistance with anything. Nice to see there is still quality customer service out there.
I would highly recommend this company for your wedding dress, or any alternations before or after your wedding as well. Quality detailed work that is hard to find!

Their customer service exceeds most as they won't let you leave disappointed. They took their time with me during each fitting and I had a total of 3; never once showing signs of impatience despite their busy appointment schedule. The first time I went I brought a sash I intended to add to my gown; however, after trying it on they suggested I look at alternatives bc it was just too busy for my dress. They suggested places to look and by the second fitting I had an entirely different sash that looks gorgeous. In other words: they know what they're doing - trust them! They truly invest in their customers and understand the importance of your wedding day: Michaela gifted me a bag with a stress ball and chocolate when I picked up my dress! Also, as if that was not enough, yesterday was the rainiest day of the summer and I feared having to take my ($$$) dress outside in the rain but Michaela offered to run it down to my car right outside the building! I could not be more EXCITED about my wedding!!!

I wore my mom’s wedding dress for the wedding and it needed a little work after some wear and tear on it from her loaning it to a friend a while back. I was very nervous about handing this dress over to someone to make the alterations and clean it up, but after seeing the positive reviews for Green and Blue I chose to meet with them. From the minute I walked in they were understanding and friendly. I felt as they truly understood how much the dress meant to me and my family. They were very professional and knowledgeable. Some of the changes I wanted included adding buttons down the back, stitch up some of the lace, and alter the dress slip. The color of the dress was an antique cream which is no longer found with materials and buttons. They had a way to dye the buttons so it would match perfectly. A lot of the lace decoration was not tacked up from age and wear, but this was easy work for them. When I went to my last fitting I need a few more changes and given my tight timeframe, they worked to have it done that day. They did the most beautiful job. My mom was amazed and pleased to see how beautiful her dress looked. She loved the buttons which looked as if they had always been there. For your dress, this is the place to go.

I cannot not express how amazing Green and Blue Studios is. I got my wedding dress from a consignment shop in the area - I fell in love with the dress, it was amazing. But problem was...it didn't really fit. I could get it zipped but that was about it.
The seamstress that worked with the shop where I got my dress told me, and I'm not kidding, that all I needed to do was lose 10 pounds and the dress would fit fine. Despite that huge boost of confidence I decided to take my dress to Green and Blue.
They were amazing! My wedding dress angels! There were some moments when I never thought it would happen but, they did the impossible and not only made my dress fit but also made it look absolutely amazing. On the day of - everyone could not stop complimenting my dress. None of this would have been possible without them.
If you want your wedding dress to look amazing - go to Green and Blue. Daniela is so sweet to work with and they really know their stuff. I wouldn't trust my dress to anyone else!

You can't get any closer to a real-life fairy godmother than Daniela.
I bought my dream dress from BHLDN, but wasn't able to try it on before buying it and when I got it, it didn't fit right. I took the dress to Green and Blue to see if there was any way they could help, and Daniela's alterations made it fit PERFECTLY.
She is so kind, so efficient, so professional. I wouldn't trust anyone else with such an important dress.
