My experience with House of Couture was outstanding! I had limited time to get the alterations done and House of Couture went out of the way to do my alterations.
The owner was clearly very experienced with handling every aspect of the fit, a...

Skye is an amazing designer. I wanted to wear my mother's gown but the dress was too yellow, so she took pieces to recreate her gown and put them onto a new gown. It was a year long process but turned out absolutely stunning. Skye can do anythi...

I LOVED working with Skye. I stumbled across her shop when I was looking for someone else to alter my wedding dress as I did not want to pay the salon's minimum where I got it - especially given that they wanted me to get a dress that was way t...
oo big even though I informed them that I JUST had a baby six weeks prior. Regardless - it led me to Skye! She was prompt and responsive - she got me in quickly once my dress arrived. She showed me everything that she would do, broke down the price, and even did additional work at a later fitting. Not to mention, her shop is gorgeous and she is fun and honest. I wish I would have shopped in her store for my dress and everything else. I actually came back to Skye for a bridesmaid dress alteration because I think not only is she an incredible seamstress and hard-working person, but she is very transparent with her pricing and she is fair! I hope she is okay with me and my little boy just popping into visit when we are in Sewickley once my need for alterations is over! Would pick Skye over and over again!! She is the BEST!
Response from the Vendor on 10/28/2021
Thank you so much! It was my pleasure to be part of your journey! You and your son are always welcomed to pop in!
I was a plus sized bride with various health conditions that had me in and out of the hospital 6 times in the year leading up to my wedding. I posted in a Facebook bridal group that I was struggling to get it all done while sick, not even askin...
g anyone for anything other than advice, and Skye direct messaged me. She asked if I had a dress and if I needed help with alterations on it because she could definitely help. And she did! 6 months after offering to help and after I had to cancel last minute once due to another hospitalization, I met up with Skye to look at my dress. She added straps to it so I wouldn’t struggle to keep it up since I walk with a cane. She added a bustle so I didn’t trip over my train after the ceremony. She was extremely easy to talk to and work with, even with all my issues she never even blinked. She’s an amazing person and I hope everyone gets to experience what I did when I went to her shop!

Skye takes her time and makes sure everything is perfect for you and you feel constantly loved by her. It was like hanging out with one of my crazy fun girlfriends 🥰 If you need a dress for any occasion go to House of Couture because you will not be disappointed 🤍Skye thank you from the bottoms of my heart for making my day absolutely amazing!!
One of the best!!!! I found Skye through the Pittsburgh Wedding FB group and she just happened to be down the street from our venue. I thought not much needed altered but once she got her hands on it, it truly fit like a glove! Skye helped me p...

resses. She is incredibly talented and a true blessing. You will love your experience from beginning to end! Thank you Skye for being you!
Skye is amazing. She took my great aunt’s wedding dress from 1953 and transformed it into my dream dress. She exhibited so much care when working with a family heirloom, and her dedication to detail is unmatched. She also custom made a short re...
ception dress for me! I purchased a sample dress from her, and she cut it to the perfect length for a party dress that still felt bridal. Skye hand sewed flower decals all over the dress, and truly made it unique. I would recommend her alterations services and her boutique dresses to any bride. She is the best in Pittsburgh! I am forever grateful that I went to Skye to make the perfect dresses for my wedding.
Skye is a woman you want on your team, SHE IS THE ULTIMATE WEDDING GODDESS!!! I found House of Couture Designs by accident, 'lucky me'! It was but days before my daughters wedding (who lives in Chicago but getting married in Pittsburgh) and s...
he and her sister really disliked the dress I had chosen. Wait, what? UGH this almost brought me to tears because I was walking my daughter down the aisle to her future husband. My daughter said, 'it might be almost impossible, but we are going shopping'. She wanted to first stop in Sewickley for something and lo and behold like angels out of heaven, there it is House of Couture Designs, a bridal salon. We looked at each other and said 'what the heck, can't hurt'. In we walk and this beautiful woman greets us 'with how may I help you ladies'? My daughter blurts out 'well my Mother needs a Mother of the Bride dress'. "Wonderful Skye says, when's the wedding"? My daughter blurts out again, 'oh in a few days and my mother's dress is ugly'. The look on Skye's face was quizzical but that sweet, amazing woman, said 'what color and get in a dressing room'!! Then she worked her MAGIC, when I say MAGIC I mean MAGIC!! My exquisite, black, flowing Mother of the Bride gown, made me feel like a queen as I walked my daughter down the aisle at Heinz Chapel. My daughter called the gown 'divine'!! Thanks Skye you are a dream maker <3
Response from the Vendor on 09/21/2021
Thank you so much! I’ll never forget that day! I also we cracked a bottle of bubbly to ease the pain! Thank you so much for your referral with your sister too!
Skye is the absolute BEST. She actually altered two wedding dresses for me over the course of our postponed wedding timeline. She added the most gorgeous belt into my dress - you would have thought it was a part of the design! Skye noticed ever...
y single detail and made sure the dresses were absolutely perfect before letting me walk out with them. She's a treasure and a true professional and expert in her craft!
Skye is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! I was a Covid bride and postponed my wedding from 10.31.20 to 5.8.21!! Mind you I just had a baby on New Years Eve of 2019, I didn’t go to any bridal salon but hers!! We walked in there and I can tell you I was ske...
ptical about finding a dress the first day of dress shopping, but with my wedding day coming up quickly at that point we hadn’t postponed just yet I was on a huge time crunch! My emotions, anxiety and super uncomfortableness with my baby body still, she started squeezing me into dress after dress, every gown getting more and more beautiful!! Skye took her time before my appointment asking me what I was envisioning, what I was seeing myself in, let’s just say that day, my first day, my ONLY bridal shop, I said YES to my dream dress!! This salon is absolutely perfect & I highly suggest checking out her beautiful store front!!! Thank you so much Skye!!!
Response from the Vendor on 09/17/2021
Oh thank you for you kind words! Miss you!
Skye is INCREDIBLE. My wedding dress was several sizes too large, requiring a good bit of alterations. When I originally took my dress to another seamstress, she told me there was nothing she could do to make it fit. After working with Skye, my...

Skye perfectly altered my wedding gown. She worked quickly and efficiently. She listened to all of my thoughts, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. I would highly recommend Skye for alterations.

I was recommended this bridal studio for excellent bridal alterations. I was very pleased with my dress as it fit like a glove which is what I wanted. The dress was steamed and ironed very nicely and I actually got several compliments on the bu...
ssel as it was very easily placed. I was very impressed that my experience came with 4 appointments for one price. To explain more, I appreciated that I paid one price at the first appointment as I had heard at some places they charge each time you make a change during subsequent fittings. I was very pleased by the professionalism and communication with the studio. I appreciated that most communication was done via text. I felt super special and each time I came in for an alteration I felt more and more like a bride.

When we got to the salon my niece was enamored by all the beaded clutches. What does Skye give her for being patient?? A beaded clutch! Literally have tears, again, as I type this.

I went to see Sky (owner) for the mother of the groom dress. She was absolutely wonderful to work with. Since I only have one child I wanted my experience to be a wonderful one and
Sky made that happen.

Couture Designs I really liked almost everything I tried on. the assortment of jewelry and accessories are dazzling as well. i highly recommend hocd for dress shopping.
I originally found House of Couture Designs because I wanted a custom veil made and of course she was able to do it, but told me to bring my dress along so we could make sure the veil goes. When I tried on my dress for her, I started telling ...
her all the different things I wanted to change about my dress and she told me that's what she specializes in! I ended up with a dress that was absolutely perfect for me and completely customized to what I wanted. If I would've went with the place I bought my dress from I would've spent at least triple and not have even gotten what I wanted! I also got a custom veil as well with LOTS of crystals!! I honestly can't stop looking at my dress because it truly was perfect!!!

experience easy and comfortable from the beginning to the end. She was an amazing sales woman and supported me throughout my entire dress journey (even when I got anxious and overwhelmed). I also got a veil, ear rings, and a head piece so it was a one stop shop. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS SHOP TO EVERYONE!!!!
Response from the Vendor on 05/19/2021
Thank you was my honor to work with you!
The bottom line is that anyone who DOESN'T go to Skye for their wedding dress alterations is crazy. I absolutely adored my dress, and it fit like a glove when she was finished with it. I completely trusted her opinion as far as what needed to b...
e done. She made a few changes that I wouldn't have even thought of, but ended up making a huge difference in the fit of my dress. However, she was also honest in that she made suggestions that were cost efficient as well. Not to mention, she was so down-to-earth and easy to talk to during every fitting. Highly highly recommend!

Thank you Lindsey!
Skye was amazing to work with. I was a covid bride and with everything constantly changing we ended up having a very small intimate ceremony with plans to have a reception a year later. Even though everything else changed and felt different due...
to covid, each appointment with Skye gave me a sense of feeling like a normal excited bride. She altered my dress to perfection and created the most gorgeous custom off the shoulder sleeves. I explained generally what I wanted and told her I trusted her... she could not have made my vision come to life any better. I also accidentally found the perfect veil and hair piece at her shop while going through the alteration process. She pulled a few pieces while we did the initial fitting and ended up pulling things that were exactly my style. I will certainly go back to Skye if I ever need dress alterations again.

Mary the feeling was mutual!! Thank you for getting hooked on the Champagne your gave to me. I’m sure we will work together soon.
Skye is an absolute joy to work with and is beyond amazing at her job. I had brought my dress to her to have altered during the midst of COVID and through all of the changes with my wedding, she was so accommodating and kept my dress safe there...
for much longer than expected. Every appointment I had, she made sure I felt perfect in my dress and was very reasonable from the start with her prices. Her work was phenomenal and my finished dress was more than a dream come true- my favorite part was the bustle she put on the end that really emphasized the scalloped edging on my dress as well as a handle piece she added so that I could hold my dress up. I highly recommend using Skye for any altering needs you have!
Response from the Vendor on 05/19/2021

Hands down choosing her was my best choice!! She worked so well with exactly what I wanted and my dress came out perfect!! You will not be disappointed!

I was extremely worried when my wedding dress ended up being short on me due to the bridal salon measuring me wrong. At my appointment with Skye she had the bridal salon on the phone within minutes having them order extra lace so that she could...

amazing job! I kept losing weight throughout the whole process and she still had amazing attitude even though I know I was annoyed myself! (Too much Covid stress I guess!) Skye is so funny, enjoyable to be around, relaxed, and let’s not forget INCREDIBLY TALENTED. The bustle she did on my dress was absolutely perfect!

h. I have been to many shops, and this one is my favorite. I found the perfect wedding gown here. I also found my shoes, veil, and hair piece here. My mother-in-law also found her gown here! Skye takes care of all alterations as well, and they’re perfect. She offers so many modern styles and will help you find the perfect fitting gown. She listens to what you want and will also give you her honest opinion. Skye has been in business for 30 years, and is very well-known and experienced in this industry. She is a superstar, and a beautiful person inside and out! I will always look back fondly and recall ALL that she did prior to, AND on my wedding day to help me look my best! I can hardly wait to have another event to shop for, at House of Couture Designs! I am so proud to call her my friend, we bonded during the wonderful experience! Definitely make an appointment to shop for your next gown!

entially made it look like I had 2 different gowns on. She accommodated my needs PERFECTLY. You will have the best experience with her. She made my mom, sister and bridesmaids feel and look beautiful. Her salon is gorgeous and gives off the best ‘homey vibe.” I’ve been to a couple bridal stores where you feel overwhelmed and pressured and hers is the complete opposite of that. You get one on one attention with the guests you bring. She even altered a few bridesmaid dresses last minute- because that is just how sweet she is. She is the best of the best. She made me feel and look like a complete princess on my wedding day.
Response from the Vendor on 09/07/2020

I ended up getting a gorgeous dress from Skye and she worked her magic on the alterations! She was so patient and it ended up being perfect. I got so many compliments all day long. She is a master.

mmodating when I lost some weight and had to take it in a couple of inches at the end. In addition, when we noticed some marks mysteriously appeared on the dress the day before the wedding, Skye came over to my house, cleaned the spots, and steamed the dress and veil again to make sure that it was perfect. She went above and beyond to make the dress STUNNING. She also was so easy to work with - responsive, funny, and relaxed! I had a blast coming in to the shop with my mom, sister, and sister in law. She gave us champagne and let us try on hats and accessories. She did the best job with the bridesmaids' dresses too and even fixed some odd stitches on my mom's MOB dress. We will all sing her praises forever! Thank you so much Skye!!

Skye was amazing to work with & so fast! My now husband & I decided to put together a “Covid” wedding in 10 days! I ordered a dress online, and it was too big & needed altered. It was so last minute and Skye had it done for me in 2 days! It fit...

I took my bridesmaid dress to Skye and she honestly made it an entire new dress for me. I cried when I tried on the dress when it came in from the bridal store. After many tears two of my best friends said “Call Skye, she is amazing!” And I am ...
SO glad I did. I took my dress into her shop being able to barely breathe and move in it and walked out with a dress I felt beautiful and confident in wearing. I will never take my dresses anywhere besides here. I truly believe there is no one out there better than Skye! She saved me and my dress! I am forever grateful for her. She made me feel so relaxed and comfortable when on the inside I was melting in embarrassment. She made me laugh and smile at each visit. She keeps in great contact with you and answers immediately. If you have never been to this boutique you are missing out!

Skye was AMAZING. I had a real life dress nightmare, and she squeezed me in and made my dreams come true! She was so much more than professional, punctual, and true to her word. She saved my wedding dress and my day!!!! My dress was perfect in ...
every way, it fit me flawlessly. She was quick, the appointments were easy and stress free, and I couldn’t recommend her enough for your alterations 😊

Thank you so much Kayla! It was my pleasure to be apart of your journey!!
House of Couture Designs is an absolute GEM. In a world of so many wedding dress shops, House of Couture Designs truly shines among the rest. I found my wedding dress at another store and stopped in to House of Couture to look for a veil. While...
I was there, Skye, the head seamstress, immediately greeted me with a smile and a genuine desire to help me find my dream look. She helped me picture ideas for my veil and also offered to do the alterations on my dress. She did my alterations promptly and thoroughly and found a veil to complete my look. I even found my head piece and matching earrings in her shop. I would not have trusted anybody else in the world but Skye to do the alterations on my dress because my dress had soooo much detailed embroidery. She literally hand sowed every stitch that needed changed. I love her to death and still keep in touch. If you go to House of Couture you won’t be disappointed.

Thank you Jenna! Thank you for allowing me to be part of your journey.
Skye was wonderful. I stopped in to her beautiful store and found a pretty hair jewelry piece. I wasn’t ready to make a decision until weeks later. By the time I made my way back the piece was gone. Not to worry Skye was able to find the exact ...
piece and order it for me. She had it to me in plenty of time for my hair trial.
My daughter-in-law was getting her alterations done from a woman the bridal salon recommended. I went with her the Tuesday before the wedding to pick up the gown. This woman did not have it finished and what was done was horrible. We took the d...
ress and left immediately. Our first stop was House of Couture Designs. With four days before the wedding, we figured we would be turned away. Skye checked over the dress and to our relief said she would do her best. Leaving her beautiful shop, the bride-to-be did not cry, it was me, the mother-in-law. I could not believe the hope Skye had just given us. There was one fitting and the dress was finished for Friday. She had gone above and beyond what our expectations were. Not only had she salvaged the mess that we had handed her, but her creation was truly remarkable. The wedding is all about the bride and the dress, thanks to Skye, both were gorgeous. I cannot express enough gratitude to her. Why did she take on this job for people she does not know? I believe it's because she has a giving heart. Thank you for being our angel!
Skye is simply amazing. She has an eye for fashion and literally had a veil, head piece, and jewelry picked out in a matter of minutes after I put on my dress and made me feel and look like the most beautiful bride. She isn't just amazing at he...
r job but she is also such a down to earth/kind person who made every fitting so fun. She will not disappoint!!
Skye was relentless I. Helping my daughter transform her re-sale find into the one-of-a-kind dress of her dreams! There were a few snafus, especially because the brides d venue were BOTH long-distance, but the final dress was just perfect.
Ev...
ery time I walk past the shop, I marvel at the breathtaking designs in the window. For special small-shop attention, unusual and stunning gowns, and custom alterations, Pittsburgh brides or a yo e seeking a gown for that. Eryecialo Casio. Can’t go wrong with a stop to see Skye!
Skye is amazing! I bought a beautiful dress for my wedding day but it needed a lot of alterations. Skye listened to me when I told her what I needed/ wanted to feel comfortable and she made the dress look perfect for my wedding day. I highly re...
commend Skye and House of Couture Designs!
Absolutely love love love her and her shop. Her attention to detail and the way she fitted my dress so it fit me perfectly. Always a good time when my mom and I would go in for fittings!
I found Skye in a facebook feed with women raving about her work. I never planned to alter my dress where I had bought it. I knew my dress needed a lot of work and I needed somebody who knew what they were doing. Skye went above and beyond my e...
xpectations even with how difficult of a job it was! I felt like an absolute princess and I could not be happier with my choice to put my trust in her with my dream dress! I will recommend her to any of my friends or family with future wedding or gown needs. Thank you for your all your hard work and endless hours you put in to give all of your brides their dream dresses.
I purchased my dress here for my October 2020 wedding. I am NOT a shopper and I just want to get in and get out. Skye accommodated all of my needs.
I had 2-3 styles in mind before I came to see her and she not only picked dresses that perfectl...
y matched what I was looking for but picked a dress that I wouldn’t have picked for myself and I absolutely fell in love with it ( and said yes!) . I can’t wait to continue working with her. I can not recommend enough!
I cannot say enough good things about Skye. From the moment you walk into her adorable boutique and she offers you a glass of champagne, you know you are in good hands! She is warm and welcoming, listens to what your vision is and is an excelle...
nt seamstress. She is also a perfectionist and her attention to detail is flawless. She has great insight and can really help you complete your look with the beautiful shoes and accessories she carries in her shop. Skye added the most gorgeous selves to my daughter’s wedding gown and surpassed what we had envisioned. Skye truly made my daughter look like a princess! I took my Mother of the Bride dress to Skye for what I thought only needed a hem. She took one look at it on me and started tucking here and there and by the time she was finished she had it fitting me absolutely perfectly. I felt wonderful in that dress the entire day! For a day as important as your wedding day or your daughter’s wedding day, I wouldn’t trust the alterations to anyone but Skye.
Skye is truly the best in the biz! Her knowledge of product is unmatched, and her attention to detail is incredible. You’re in great hands with Skye!
Skye is the absolute best! I am going to her for my alterations and it is the best experience I could ask for. She makes you feel so calm and confident. She knew through a friend that I wanted fur and had it ready for me. It wasn't on the floor...
yet and it pulled it brand new out of the packaging for me! I even talked about a head piece that I had seen previously at another place and she knew exactly what I was talking about and pulled it for me! 5 stars!!
If you are looking for a seamstress that truly is passionate about what she does, give you individual attention Nd make you feel like a princess call Skye. When I first stepped into HOC I simply went in because it was close to my home, but it ...
quickly became my favorite place to visit! Skye worked on two dresses for me, and gave me exactly what I wanted. I was nervous originally about my wedding dress because several people Told me the intricate design of the laced bottom would make it difficult to alter, but skye could do it with her eyes closed! Her prices are extremely competitive and reasonable for quality work. She will go above and beyond to make sure your dress is everything you could have imagined. I was never rushed out of her shop, but encouraged to relax with some champagne and browse away. She has the absolute best selection of everything you need, shoes, jewelry, hair pieces just everything. It was so nice to have 1:1 time with my seamstress instead of being rushed out, it really allows for that glamours experience every bride should be able to experience. I will forever use Skye as my seamstress and can not recommend her enough.
I cannot say enough good things about skye and her business! from the moment we stepped into her boutique we felt right at home! She went out of her way to get me the dress of my dreams and also to make me, my mom, and my girls feel comfortable...
every time we went in there! The dress i ended up buying off of her she was only getting in for a photo shoot but she thought i would love it. little did i know, i did! I will always always always recommend her and house of couture designs for dress shopping and alterations!
Skye was a fabulous seamstress to work with and completely redesigned my dress to make it my dream dress. When I brought my dress in it was too big and had short sleeves. Being that I was having a winter wedding Skye was able to create full lac...
e sleeves! She perfectly matched her lace to what the dress already had! Also, I purchased one of her designs for my rehearsal dinner dress. It was a beautiful short cocktail dress and she added just a touch of beading to make it even more elegant. Skye is a phenomenal designer and I would recommend her to any bride!
I was referred to Skye for my bridal alterations. She went above and beyond from start to finish. I was also was in need for bridal jewelry and jewelry for my bridesmaids. She has a beautiful selection of accessories as well as shoes. I hi...

Thank you ! I enjoyed being part of your journey!! You look absolutely stunning!! Thank you so much for my birthday chocolates too.
My girlfriend who was buying a dress from Skye suggested I look there as well, and was I thankful I did. Skye is so down to earth, sweet, and relate-able. What I loved most about her is she is not a salesperson, she wants to help you find the ...
dress the best suits you!
She truly went above and beyond for the both of us, ordering us dresses in specifically for us to try on.
We ended up canceling our wedding because of my husbands sick mother and were considering getting married in the hospital. Skye offered to let me BORROW a dress for NO COST if I needed one last minute. You will not find this at any boutique/store, she truly is heaven sent.
The dresses she carries are phenomenal. She is also an an excellent seamstress.
Never fell in love with someones personality like I did hers, she is such a great person.
GENUINE, CARING, HELPFUL, AND ALL OVER FABULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Skye was accommodating, welcoming and so very helpful in preparing me for my wedding day. Due to some unfortunate changes in health, my husband and I decided to get married within a week. Despite the short time frame, Skye didn't hesitate and s...

Skye is amazing! She found me online in a time of need when planning my wedding in 2 weeks so my dad could be there. She went above and beyond she got me an appointment right away and she found me the perfect dress!! She did the alterations in ...

You will be a bride I’ll never forget! Thank you for allowing me the honor of handing this in your time of sadness. You and your family are simply amazing people.
The bridal salon I purchased my dress recommended Skye, and I'm so glad I went to her. Both my mom and I had our dresses altered by Skye. Each appointment was fun and Skye does amazing work. Her prices are also very reasonable!

Thank you! I miss seeing you both! And wow oh wow on your wedding day ! Simply gorgeous
I had a great experience having my dress altered by Skye. She made sure it fit perfectly and we had multiple fittings. She was very accommodating and helped me through the process!
I was referred to Skye from my college roommate who is a Pittsburgh Wedding Planner. The moment I walked into her store I felt comfortable. She was able to alter both of my dresses to fit me perfectly. She is honest and has your best intenti...
on in mind when giving advice regarding your dress or situation. My mother had a dress issue in Maryland and Skye was willing to help if needed the WEEK of my wedding. One of my bridesmaids came with me for my final fitting and told Skye that she could stay there all day and just chat, that is how comfortable this salon and the experience she creates.
I also purchased my hair pieces and earrings for my wedding and love how they complemented both dresses and each other. I would recommend this salon to any Bride, MOB, MOG, or guest looking for a special gown for a gala or wedding.
Skye is just awesome to work with. She is so welcoming and knows her stuff. My dress fit like a glove and looked amazing! she is the best! Her new location is so easy to get to and very classy. She did alterations to my moms dress too, which lo...

Thank you Jen! You and your mom were so much fun too.

wns and brides. Can’t say enough great things!
Skye is so amazing!! I went there for alterations. The bridal store I bought my dress at ordered it about 2x to big for me and didn't measure length either. Skye made my dress fit like it sewn just for me. She is so easy to work with and fun! S...
he also was more than willing to do last minute alterations since I lost weight every time I went to see her. Her prices were also much more reasonable than the bridal store I got my dress at for alterations. She also altered my rehearsal dinner dress to fit me just right.
Her store is easy to find, convenient, and gorgeous inside.
She has very lovely and reasonability priced jewelry for weddings as well. I purchased my bracelet and earrings there which matched me and my dress perfectly.
I can't thank Skye enough!
Response from the Vendor on 05/31/2019
Thank you! Justine you were a blast to work with thank you for allowing me to be apart of your day!!!
I started my process by going to two other alterations appointments to get a quote on my dress. I needed it taken in, bustled, and hemmed. I was blown away when my first two appointments quoted me at a cost that was almost half the cost of my d...
ress! I went to Skye as a recommendation from two friends that had used her for their wedding dresses. Not only was her quote more than reasonable, she was so nice and I could tell she knew what she was doing. We had a few fittings and every time she knew exactly what else needed to be done. At the last minute I decided I wanted to add cups to the dress and it was no problem at all. The day of the wedding my dress fit like a dream and I felt so comfortable. My only recommendation is to make sure you see your dress bustled when you're in the fitting, I didn't and we had a hard time getting the bottom to lay right, we figured it out but it took some time. Skye is fantastic, couldn't recommend her enough!
Skye is absolutely incredible at what she does. I was so stressed when my dress didn't fit correctly in the bodice. Skye was able to completely correct the issue, and she did it at an amazing price! After our first meeting, I didn't worry about...
my dress again even once! I also bought my gorgeous cathedral length veil and earrings at her boutique. I cannot wait to put everything together on my big day! I highly recommend House of Couture Designs for all of your alteration, accessory, and dress needs. They go above and beyond to make you feel so special and cared for.
Response from the Vendor on 05/31/2019
Thank you Miki! I’m sorry you had a hard time with ur bustle but I will make sure every bride understands how it works.

Skye was so easy to work with! I purchased my mother of the groom dress from her. She also did my alterations which turned out amazing! I definitely recommend her!
Response from the Vendor on 05/18/2019

Hands down the best alterations experience I have ever had! Skye has the eye and vision to make you look and feel absolutely beautiful in your wedding gown or any type of dress. My wedding was in March of 2019 and we sta...
rted my alterations in November of 2018. My dress needed a lot of work done to it and right away Skye made me feel comfortable at every appointment. She also did alterations for my bridesmaids as well!
Not only does she do alterations but also has a gorgeous collection of bridal, shower, special occasion, and mother of the bride dresses. My mom also purchased her MOB dress from House of Couture. We could not be more pleased with our service and how we felt the day of my wedding.
If you’re looking for jewelry or shoes, House of Couture is the place to check that out. I purchased my beautiful headpiece that I wore to my wedding!!

Emma,
What can I say but Thank you for being an amazing bride and letting me help create your perfect look. What a beautiful and Classic look it was. Thank you again.
While most of the reviews talk about alterations, Skye now has a BEAUTIFUL new shop in Sewickley where you can also buy your gown! I spent about 5 hours over two appointments and another drop in visit to pick a dress and Skye was nothing but pa...
tient and extremely helpful! She gave me every bit of information I needed about what parts of dresses could be changed easily to better fit my style. In the end, Skye went above and beyond to help me find the dress I wanted. She was incredible at suggesting veils and headpieces and was so receptive to any comments I made. It was so nice to be able to do everything in one shop and I could not recommend her more highly! If you are hunting for a dress in Pittsburgh, go see Skye, you will not regret it! I cannot wait to come back and see her for alterations and to see the final look!!

It was my pleasure to create your vision! You looked absolutely beautiful! Thank you
House of Couture was recommended to me by This Magic Moment, where I purchased my dress. It was a terrific experience - I knew that I was in good hands. The dress was exactly what I wanted - a bias-cut, full-length gown. The fabric was a really...
sumptuous ivory silk, with no beading or underwiring structure or anything. So - it was absolutely imperative that the alteration was just right in order for it to sit on my body “just so.” I know little about the craft of alterations, but it seemed clear that only someone wiht the highest skill could get it right. The dress was too big for me when I brought it in. All I can say is, Skye completely nailed it. The dress felt like a dream to wear and it looked incredible. Wearing that dress was a wonderful memory that I will cherish always. (In fact, I’m thinking I might try to wear it again in the future for a formal event...). Plus - Skye made me feel really special and it was just wonderfully fun to go in there. WHen I was planning my wedding I was trying to minimize the “princess bride” routine and was all about being practical. But I must admit ... I felt like a bit of a princess in a really good and fun way in working with HoC. Thank you!!!
Response from the Vendor on 11/14/2018
Thank you so much S. It was amazing to work with you and your fabulous silk charmeuse gown. This is one of the hardest fabrics to work with in my opinion and it came of perfect!!

Thank you Rachael for you kind words. I made no secret on how much I loved your gown! The fabric and classic look Gorgeous ! Just like you.
Where do I begin in expressing how amazing Skye is. I can promise you this, you will NOT be disappointed. I had TWO wedding dresses that I purchased at a sample store in NYC. I had one gown that was tight through out with a full skirt that I wa...
nted made detachable for the reception, and another gown that had this crazy elaborate back with a absolutely gorgeous but ridiculous frayed edge hem. Both fit "okay" but needed the basic take in here, shorten there kind of deal. (not including the full reconstruction I wanted done to the one) Me, being the procrastinator that I am didn't exactly call in record time to schedule an appointment and then I came to her with 2 dresses (my weddings were 3 weeks apart) - Needless to say they turned out PERFECT and Skye made every step of the process so enjoyable. She truly makes you feel like you are the only bride she has (even though she's nose deep in dresses) - her work speaks for itself. Flawless! Thank you Skye for being the BEST of the BEST

Thank you Ashley. I was my pleasure to be part of your journey. Your classic and beautiful gown was a masterpiece. Thank you for the referrals you've sent me too.
I was also referred to Skye after purchasing my gown at This Magic Moment Bridal studio - she was awesome! Skye made me feel beautiful in my gown and reassured me of various insecurities I had with the dress. My dress fit well off the rack but ...
did need to be taken in. She did a fabulous job fitting my gown, adding a bustle, and making me a custom veil to complete my outfit. Her studio is chic and she had no problems scheduling me for my visits; she did a home visit for the first fitting, and then two additional fittings before I picked up my gown. I would trust her with any alteration on any gown! Highly recommend.

Angela,
Thank you so much for the review. I was my pleasure to work with you on your journey juggling Medical School and The Wedding. You handled both like a pro!
I brought Skye my size 10 Oscar de la Renta wedding dress purchased off the rack at Vows (a bridal outlet in Boston, where I live). She altered it down to a size 0 for my California wedding and I came to Pittsburgh for a series of three fitting...
s.
We made very minor changes to the style of the dress, like fully lining the skirt. But the most amazing change was the shape that Skye gave to a straight sheath that was many sizes too large: it fit perfectly in the bust, butt, and bodice, which is incredible considering she also resized the built-in corset.
Skye listened to every neurotic concern I had and was incredibly detail oriented with finishing lace, re-attaching straps, fixing the bows on the straps, and even ordering me a veil that was the PERFECT color match for the unusual natural lace color of my dress. She embellished the veil with lace scraps from my dress and also sewed family heirloom fabric inside my dress bodice. Such wonderful touches of love to go along with her incredible talent. THANK YOU SKYE!
Response from the Vendor on 08/06/2018
Thank you! Your being to kind. Thank you for choosing me to work on your magnificent Oscar de la Renta gown and letting create your vision!
Skye is the greatest. She is so much fun to work with. It is apparent, she goes above & beyond with each and every dress that she works on. I did not think that I could love my dress more than when I had initially purchased it, but because of S...
kye's impeccable work, I did. Skye tailored my Mom's dress and did a fabulous job. What was most impressive to me, was the fact that Skye completely transformed a size 26 bridesmaid dress to fit my pregnant friend. When my bridesmaid first got the dress, we had a good laugh as all my girls could have probably fit in it. Skye told us not to worry and she was right, she was able to make my friend a dress that made her look and feel absolutely beautiful. If you are looking for a seamstress that is hysterical, caring, and extremely affordable, look no further. Thank you, Skye, for making my wedding dream dress a reality! You're the absolute best!
