Kristin Johnston Bridal

so she altered in such a way that I didn't need one. Not only is her work amazing but she is exceptionally communicative and well organized. Your wedding is one of the most important days in your life. With her organizational skills and talent, I knew she was going to deliver an amazing product and I had nothing to worry about.

d to make more adjustments. I HIGHLY recommend her!!!

we met, and I had such a blast at every appointment. I feel so grateful and I’m so appreciative for Kristin to have done such an amazing job tailoring my wedding dress!

s like “I got you”. On my final dress fighting I loved my dress even MORE than I did when I first tried it on. Even my fiancé said it fit me like a glove, like it was made to fit my body. I felt so beautiful, and I owe a lot of that to Kristin. I’m telling you choosing Kristin to do your dress will be your best and easiest decision.

only came in for a bustle to be added but she still worked her magic and I was so impressed how that little detail could make my dress even more stunning! I cannot say enough good things about Kristin and her work.

ly to your body. There is no one I would recommend more!! She is amazing!

ristin multiple times with an additional attachment we created for my dress. She pointed me in the all the right directions to make my vision come to life. I have her to thank for my beautiful dress and eye for detail. If you're looking for a seamstress Kristin was amazing to work with and I highly recommend.

how gorgeous my dress was and that it was “made for me” the day of my wedding. I highly recommend booking with Kristin, she is the best and a true professional. She transformed my dress to fit like a glove and I was super comfortable the entire night!

wedding dress from recommended Kristin and I am so thankful they did! SHE IS AWESOME!! Kristin is so nice and incredibly professional. She listened to exactly what I wanted for my dress and the final product is just stunning. My dress originally had some funky bust construction and she took care of it. I showed her pictures of the sleeves I wanted to add and she made my vision come true. Now, while the bustle for a dress may not seem like the most important thing, it definitely is a big deal! The bustle can either keep your dress looking great for the reception or add an unwanted silhouette. Kristin is serious about the bustle and talked me through the options that would best fit my dress without taking away the shape or adding a weird shape. She spends the time to make a short video on your phone walking you through your bustle for the big day. Because let's be honest, who is going to remember anything with all the emotions of your wedding day so the video is a lifesaver. Kristin's studio is in her beautiful home in Katy- so clean & welcoming. She is a joy to work with and made the alteration experience incredibly pleasant. So if you're in the Houston area, look her up (do it sooner rather than later bc she books up quick!) and book her! You will be so happy you did because she will work so hard to make your dress absolutely perfect. Thank you so so much, Kristin!!!

ess my dream dress! She is magical with her hands, and tailored my dress to make it look like it was handmade for me! On the night of my wedding, I was not just told how beautiful I looked but how gorgeous my dress was by every single person at the wedding. She also has all the tricks to make your dress stay up and made the bustle on my dress simply breathtaking. Thank you so much, Kristin, for making my wedding dress my dream dress!

cess and timeline with automated emails at the very start. She altered my crepe/trumpet style gown, my friend's massive satin ballgown and another friend's lace A-line -- all to our complete satisfaction. Her bustle videos also make that process a LOT easier day of. I'm already recommending her to several other engaged friends and know their dresses will be in good hands if they book with her!

made the changes look like they had always been a part of the dress! She also helps video doing the bustle of the dress which is extremely helpful to have for your bridesmaids on the wedding day. The end result was better than I could have imagined, and I would HIGHLY recommend her. She was committed to ensuring I was 100% satisfied. Solid talent for sure.

beautifully, but also to create a bustle for my giant train that was really easy for my bridesmaids to figure out and held throughout hours of dancing. Book her EARLY because he appointments fill fast.

I was sure that Kristin would quote me a higher price based on the stellar reviews I read and was trying to reason with myself on how much more I would be okay with. Well, her quote ended up being less, so I was super stoked! And she managed to fit me into her busy schedule even though I was on the later end of the “get your dress altered” timeline. I just had my final fitting with her and the dress turned out perfectly. She hemmed it, brought in/contoured the butt area, shortened the illusion back and fixed gaping, added a bustle, added cups, and fixed any other areas where gaping was occurring. She stayed within her original estimate to me as well as the timeline. Did a thorough bustle video tutorial for my bridesmaids to follow the day of and gave me tips on how to quickly loop the little back buttons. She was very nice and easy to talk to at each fitting; I enjoyed getting to know her, her passion for tailoring, and her family life. Highly recommend going to her even if you don’t live in Katy like me - it’s worth the drive! 16 days to go to my wedding and I can’t wait to show off her work and feel fabulous in my dress!!

s fit ME, not just took it in to be my size. Her pricing was fair and for my dress it was actually cheaper than an alterations “store” - which was such a breath of fresh air when I realized how much better my dress was going to look on me. It literally fit me like a glove and the entire process was smooth and stress free. The week before I was supposed to pick up my dress we had terrible weather and no power for days...and she reached out to reschedule but reassured me everything was going to be ready. I was not worried a bit and I loved that she didn’t wait for me to check in. She is truly a professional in all aspects but felt as if she was an old friend! If you’re looking for someone to alter your dress, she’s your gal!

le I have ever chatted with and has such a passion for her work. She seemed overjoyed at the prospect of doing custom alterations to my gown, and was so helpful and knowledgable, I trusted her to do it perfectly. Everyone who asked about my dress was so shocked that I had sleeves added - no one could tell it wasn't made that way! Seriously blown away by Kristin's work - and at a very affordable price. Can't recommend her enough! Thank you!!

t looked incredible! She was such a pleasure to visit with, and I will be recommending her to my friends and family who will be married. Thank you Kristin for making my dream dress fit me perfectly!

a lot of lace and beading and needed to be shortened quite a bit. Extremely happy to say the dress looks unbelievable and fits like a glove

sale, so naturally there were holes and rips from other girls trying it on. She patched up all of it and it didn’t even look like anything had happened to the dress--it looked brand new! During each fitting, she had me do multiple movements to see if I could sit, dance, kneel, everything. I felt so comfortable in my dress. She also did a beautiful bustle that was a little complicated, but she did an instructional video and my MOHs were able to follow along no problem! On the wedding day, I did have some incidents of people stepping on my dress and even one of the sleeves ripped—not due to Kristen, but because people just got a little too excited throughout the evening. I brought the dress to Kristen, and she said she would patch everything up and even bring it to La Reve to get it preserved! Talk about going above and beyond for her clients. Thank you for all your help!

! Everyone thought it was part of my dress and it added another level of romance to my look. She also flawlessly tailored my wedding dress which was not the easiest but she made it fit perfectly.

d (standard is three visits) and completely reliable. It's important that you be able to trust the person altering your most special gown. Kristin is totally professional, incredibly knowledgeable and an amazing talent. My dress was complicated because of all the lace. Yours will have some other challenge, but Kristin will handle it with ease - and make you feel so comfortable (at a reasonable price). We drove 45 minutes each way for each visit, and are so glad we did!!

tly, customized my dress to fit my body so perfectly. She went above and beyond with the train and the entire dress. I could have never imagined trusting anyone else with my special day. Thank you so much for making it perfect!

n! I'm so thankful I found her and had her work her magic on my dress! I loved everything about my experience with her from my dress to Kristin, herself.

ect fitting dress.

regret using her. Her work is very detailed and she works alongside you to fix even the smallest of details to make your dress that much better. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone!

uly a pro when it comes to alterations. All 3 of my appointments went smoothly and she was always very welcoming to not only me, but whoever I brought with me to each appointment. It was a blast working with her! She cares about her work and the brides happiness. 5 stars!!

ed my eyes to a whole new world. My mom and I were literally giddy when we left our first meeting with her, she is INCREDIBLE at what she does, and I would trust her with any wedding dress on any body type. I didn't even know I could be excited about alterations. :-) She corrected little things on my dress that I didn't even realize needed to be corrected, and I promise you it was not just to make an extra buck. She took my already-beautiful dress and made it EVEN better. She explained every little detail and why she was making the alterations that she did. And the bustle - oh my gosh. I am very picky about wedding dress bustles, because I always worry that it transforms a dress, and not always for the better. Let me tell you, my bustle was so beautiful that my dress looked just as beautiful bustled as it did without. She is a master at her craft and I highly recommend her!

tions. Kristin was #1 on their list and so I went with her. You have to book your appointments at least 6 months in advance and for good reason. I had so many compliments on my wedding dress alterations. My dress has a 7' train and required a pretty extravagant bustle. I let Kristin work with her recommendations and the outcome was just outstanding. The dress fit like a glove and was fit to my body. The bustle was incredible and gave a unique element to my dress. I really could not have been more pleased with the final outcome. I looked and felt so lovely in every instance I wore my dress. My (now) husband was in love. Thank you, Kristin.

t was done up. She was easy to work with, incredibly organized and she's excellent at what she does! Highly highly recommend, any dress, any fabric.

3rd fitting (supposed to be my last) I was not comfortable with how my strapless dress was fitting in my chest area, Kristin could tell right away that I was uncomfortable and asked “what would be my perfect dress.” The next thing we are laying scrapes from other dresses to see what strapes would look like...she transformed my dress into something completely different and I was in LOVE! The strapes looked amazing and like the were always apart of my dress, and many complimented they were there favorite part of my dress at our wedding!

my dress turned out beautifully. She made the adjustments I requested and was thoughtful enough to add a second clasp on my straps to make them tighter as the night went on. This was a life saver as my dress did want to be a little loose on the dance floor so adjusting the straps kept me from embarrassing myself! I never would have even considered asking for this but was so grateful it was there!

to do a great job! She knew exactly what needed to be altered, cinched in, let out, etc to make the gown look beautiful on me. She was able to sew on a beaded belt and created a french bustle that was "user friendly" for my bridesmaids. She is pretty popular and tends to be completely booked many months in advance, so I would book now! Thank you, Kristin! <3

ll alterations look easy! Nothing was impossible! I did not know how, but she always knew what to do at every fitting. My dress fit perfectly. It hugged in all the right places without any constriction! I also looked and felt like I had a curvy, hour glass shape (which does not happen every often, haha!). I also was super (super!) comfortable in it throughout my entire wedding day! I was able to sit, eat, dance, walk, etc. without hesitation, frustration, or fear that something would happen to the dress. Kristin does amazing work. I highly recommend her. Thank you, Kristin for making me the most beautiful I have ever felt!

uldn’t even consider going anywhere else! She is so sweet, professional, honest, talented, and wonderful! If you’re looking for someone to alter your dress, you’ve found the right person! I can’t wait for the next wedding so I can go back to Kristin ❤️

to be able to honor both of them in that way. I still can't believe how beautiful it turned out! Not only is Kristin talented, she is sweet and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to have alterations done or vintage reconstructions.

ristin tailor the large dress until it fit my body like a glove and gave me a rocking hourglass figure, but she added the most beautiful lace sleeves I have ever seen onto my dress. You can't even tell the dress started out strapless because her alterations are so seamless. Kristin isn't your average tailor who does what you request and nothing more, even if the look of your garment requires otherwise. She went above and beyond and spent time on every little detail. She added buttons to the inner wrists of my sleeves, spent a whole fitting going over each lace piece and where I wanted them to lay on my arms, added loops in the corset back to thread my strapless bra through so it would be hidden, and created color-coded bustle ribbons so my Maid of Honor can bustle my dress in no time on the big day. Just to name a few! After four fittings, I have to admit, I was a little sad leaving with my dress last night. Kristin's appointments have been such a highlight of my wedding experience! She took away all of my worries about the dress and created something better than I could have ever imagined. I can't recommend her enough to every Houston bride!

y - totally worth the drive she was also super flexible with my schedule. THANK YOU SO MUCH KRISTIN! Can't wait to wear my dress next week!

so many compliments. I was able to wear 3 different looks between my ceremony, formal pictures and the reception. She loves what she does, take full pride in her work and it shows! On top of all that, she's so nice and easy to talk to like you've known one another. I would highly recommend her. Thanks so much Kristin :)

another lady messed up the dress and that we found Kristin. Fast forward a couple years and I knew I also had to work with Kristin for my wedding . She is booked, fully, way in advance so I emailed her and prayed. I didn't think she would remember me and my sister from before but she did and agreed to tailor my gown!!!! (We still had 6 months so not a rush this time) I have absolute trust in everything she says and does and for good reason. My gown is amazing and fit better than perfect (if that is even possible!). I never once wanted to take the dress off and change. She even supported me in wearing it on the plane to the honeymoon!! ( I didn't because, bathrooms on planes!) When we asked her opinion on taking out some layers she told us why we shouldn't. She even counted them and said why I needed each one!! I'm so glad I listened to her. She bustled that dress better than I could have imagined. It was an amazing experience with her and I will send everyone I know to KJ!! Thank you again sweet lady!! xoxo Mrs. DuRant

work and meeting her, I had no doubt she would rock it! Sure enough she did. She listened to my little requests and went out of her way to replace a button on my dress! I would highly recommend Kristin, she's awesome, professional and very good at what she does!

my concerns about the fit of my gown and I left with a dress that looked amazing. She is truly a gifted seamstress and wonderful person to work with!
