I recently had a formal dress hemmed by Irina. At first, I thought it was too long. She explained to me that it was due to the fact that I was standing on carpeting. When I stood on the tailoring platform, it was much better. I tried the dress on when I arrived home and my husband agreed that it was perfect. In reading the other reviews here (many more complicated alterations than mine) it leads me to believe that Irina is an expert seamstress!
* my Waze had difficulty locating her shop. I suggest that you look at a map prior to traveling to shop
Irina did wonders on my wedding gown! It was extremely loose and not supportive in the chest area and she made it fit perfectly and provide support. I bawled when I saw the original fit and cannot thank her enough for making me feel so confident in the fit!
I’m so glad that Irina was referred to me by a friend! She was so knowledgeable and knew exactly what I wanted done to my wedding dress. She is knowledgeable and was able to transform my dress into a work of art! I will definitely go back to her with an alterations I may need as well as refer her. She is so friendly and easy to get along with. You’ll definitely have a good time during your fittings! I purchased my dress from Twice Upscale in downtown York, PA. I got a cheaper dress so it was well worth paying for quality alterations!
Irina is GREAT she is honesty and realistic not only about what is best for your dress but also in pricing. I just got back from picking up my wedding gown from Irina’s. This is the second dress she has altered for me it the past year and a half. The first was a Bridemaids dress that just needed standard alterations, it came out perfect fit like a glove. My wedding gown she hand beaded the top on the gown for me and oh my it is gorgeous! I mean the way the beads catch the light insane! She also added bussel that is super easy, one tie and two snap. She did do some additional alterations as well but I am still blown away by the beading. I cannot believe that she was able to do it in 4 weeks. I obviously can’t post pictures yet but I will definitely post some in May.
My wedding dress needed standard alterations; while my bustle did not make it through the night it did not matter at the end of the day. I had a custom top built onto my dress with flowy sleeves, it was absolutely beautiful and I appreciate all of the hard work. I received so many compliments.
Irina and I designed a custom made dress for my wedding 12/28/19. To say that the dress was perfect, would simply be an understatement. Irina worked through every detail including securing the specific Spanish silk I wanted. Every bead and button (150 covered buttons) were hand sewn to perfection. Her attention to detail and creativity are unmatched. I live in Denver, Co and created this dress to perfection in just three fittings. If anyone cannot find exactly what they are looking for- please contact Irina!!! She will make your vision come to life!!
Irina- you are the best of the best. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything!!
Irina was literally a saving grace for my wedding dress. I had taken it to another person for alterations and my dress did not come out how I had wanted. I contacted Irina just 2 weeks before my wedding and she agreed to help me and fix my dress. Irina was truly wonderful during the entire process. She fixed everything on my dress with such skill and meticulous detail, from shortening the length of my dress, to giving my the correct bustle, to ensuring the that top was brought in properly. I couldn't have been happier with my dress and I am so glad that I brought it to Irina. I wish I had taken my dress to her to begin with. I highly recommend her to anyone who need alterations. Thank you so much for everything Irina.
I got the number from my coworker at Wellspan and I am happy to say that the entire experience from day one have been absolutely amazing. Thanks you for all you have done!
I purchased my dress from Renaissance Bridal shop in York Pennsylvania and Irina was listed on the list of preferred seamstresses. I also had a coworker who recommended her because her daughter got 2 prom dresses altered.
After I purchased my wedding dress I lost a bit of weight, Irina took the dress down 4 sizes and made the dress fit like an absolutely glove. She created a beautiful bustle and even made a train for my dress to make it longer.
Irina was an absolute gem to work with as she altered 2 of my bridesmaids dresses also. We all came from Baltimore to York to see her.
I would highly recommend her for your special day. My dress had a ton of hand beading and my bridesmaids dresses were full sequins and they all turned out perfect.
Irina was a joy to work with! My wedding dress needed extensive alterations, which she completed with amazing attention to detail. Irina also altered my mother, grandmother, and bridesmaid's dresses. Needless to say, we had many fittings and got to know Irina very well. I won't go anywhere else!
Irina did an amazing job on my dresses!! I brought my wedding dress and my rehearsal dress in to be altered. She tailored the top of my dress to fit perfectly and created a one in a million bustle! She was able to create some extra space in my rehearsal dress and remove the sleeves. The turn around time was short and the price couldn't be beat. She was flexible and communicated throughout the process! thanks
A coworker of mine recommended Irina to me. I needed my dress altered since I lost weight and it was a month and half til my wedding. So many places turned me down because of the time frame. But she scheduled me in and she did not disappoint! She did my daughters dress as well (flower girl) and I could not tell where she cut and sewed. Extremely professional and amazing at her craft! Will definitely go back if I ever need anything tailored.
Irina did an incredible job on my dress! I bought it with the idea of customizing it so was a little nervous buying it without seeing it done but she truly made my idea come to life, plus some. She altered it to fit perfectly, added sleeves, details, a bustle, and hemmed it beautifully. I truly cant put into words how perfect it is and it wouldn’t have been that way without her attention to detail, expertise, and care. Not to mention, she’s a joy to be around! I will be recommending all my friends who are brides and anyone I know who needs alterations.
I am so grateful for Irina and her gorgeous craftsmanship. I have a larger chest, and she was able to add multiple layers of cups, create a wider strap, and cross the straps in the back of my dress so that I am 100% supported and comfortable in my backless dress. She created a simple bustle for my lace train and made some last minute alterations so that the dress just grazed the floor perfectly all around. I can't wait to wear this on my wedding day, and I feel that Irina was so wonderful to work with and took away any stress that I would have had about my look for the big day!
I went Irina to have her alter my wedding dress for my recent wedding. Everything turned out perfectly! Her prices are so very reasonable, and her work is beautiful. She added a corset panel to the back of the dress that made it look like the dress was made that way! She actually fit me in a week before my wedding to make additional changes. Irina is polite and professional, and you can’t go wrong taking your dress or any clothing that need to be tailored to your specifications.
I am so glad that we went to Irina to alter our dresses! She was so nice, knowledgeable, and did such an amazing job. I asked for my dress to be made into a high/low style for my beach wedding and she really made it perfect! I was nervous going since I've never had anything altered before, but she made the experience stress free. I knew that I left my dress in good hands.
Irina is fabulous! I found out AFTER we bought my bridesmaid dress that I was pregnant...but Irina made the dress look like it had always been made for me. She got me (and the bride) in the same week that I called and we had our dresses the same month. I loved how the dress fit and I got so many compliments about how they couldn’t even tell I was pregnant (I was 20 weeks!!!). I’ve used Irina in the past and will continue to do so!
Irina is AMAZING! I needed alterations done for my wedding dress in October. I called Irina in May, and she had an appointment set up for me that week. I came in, she measured everything, and had all I needed scheduled: dress hemmed and sleeves taken in. People had me scared because I was being told my alterations were probably going to cost hundreds of dollars. For all of my alterations, it cost me $99 - that’s it! My dress was done the same month and for like a dream! Irina was amazing to work with and made sure it fit and I was happy before I left the store! Because there is a gap between the time I got it altered and my wedding, she told me to just let her know if I need anything else done! I am so glad she was recommended to me! Super affordable and her work is so detailed and precise!
Irina is amazing!!! My dress was very complicated with long, all lace sleeves that were loose and needed to be brought in and tightened. She tightened the material to perfectly fit to my arms. I get like a princess and it’s all thanks to Irina! I take her all my alteration needs and she never disappoints!
Irina is extremely knowledgeable and talented. My dress was a lot of work. It had to be taken in, shortened, layers removed, train removed, hooks added and beading fixed. She did all of this with ease, very quickly and reasonably priced. She is so nice and caring that I felt like she was family. Highly recommend! I would trust her with anything.
I took my wedding dress for an alteration and Irina did an amazing job. She is very passionate about her work. My Wedding dress looks stunning! I can't wait to use it for my Wedding day! Thank you Irina! ♡
Irina was so personable and very accommodating. She did a beautiful job altering my dress. She had to remove a lot of the lace at the bottom and reapply once it was shortened. It turned out amazing and you couldn’t even tell it was removed and reapplied. Irina made bustle the so easy and quick to do. I would choose her again for any of my altering needs. Thank you!
About 3 months before my wedding I tried on my dress again and realized I needed it altered. My friend scheduled an appointment for me with Irina and she was happy to squeeze me in for an appointment on short notice. Irina knew right away what she needed to alter for my dress so it would look perfect! When I came back for the final fitting, the dress fit like a glove! It was absolutely perfect and exactly what I wanted! Irina did an amazing job! Will definitely being going to her for future alterations!
I had the pleasure of working with Irina in May 2019. My wedding dress arrived two weeks late and was huge on me! With only three weeks until my wedding date, she found the time in her busy schedule to fit me in! With only ONE alteration appointment, she made my wedding dress fit perfectly!! She helped make me look and feel beautiful on my wedding day! She was quick, sweet, and incredibly talented in her profession!
