Mahtab's Wedding Alterations

for bridal alterations. I highly recommend Mahtab. She was so professional and sweet, and her work was amazing. Thank you again!

nd was ballgown style, so there were several layers, but she added the bustle onto my dress so that it didn't ruin the lace but still looked great! She knew exactly what she was doing and I completely trusted her to work her magic on my dress. I am so happy with how it turned out, she was worth every penny!

y intricate and delicate lace covering everything. It also had an illusion neckline that made my shoulders and neck appear to be bare. That fabric is a super delicate almost nylon that is super easy to rip. I got it from Canada and the bridal shop warned me that I needed someone who knew how to work with the lace and intricate details because it was so unique and hard to work with. I poured through wedding alteration websites looking for altered dresses that looked like mine and could find no one in Los Angeles or Orange County. Finally, I stumbled upon Mahtab and saw that previous reviewers had expressed similar situations and that Mahtab was the right person for the challenge. And they were one hundred percent correct! From the moment I met Mahtab I could tell she was a true professional and put all of my worries at ease. She had me put on the dress and immediately saw what needed to be altered. I needed the shoulders tightened as well as the waist and needed a bustle. She was so efficient and quick. When I came back for the second fitting she had fixed the shoulders which had been super hard because of the delicate see-through fabrics and had started work on the bustle. She made sure I knew how she was altering the dress to make the bustle work. She had to move flowers around to hide the button and clasps but she did it so artfully and it still looked beautiful. She guided my future mother-in-law on how to bustle it and made sure I was happy with the finished looked. The bustle was gorgeous and she really made the whole thing look effortless! She even suggested I get the sticky bra to put underneath the dress when I mentioned I wanted to add a little more cleavage to the dress. Altering the dress was one of the biggest stresses for me and Mahtab truly took all of the stress away from our very first meeting. The finished product was stunning and fit me like a glove! My dress was mermaid style so it needed to fit perfectly and she nailed it. It was tight where it needed to be and she was also so conscious not to make the shoulders too tight so I could still raise my arms. Mahtab made me feel so confident because the dress fit so well and I knew I would not have any dress slips! I loved working with her and any bride would be so lucky to have Mahtab alter the dress of their dreams!

a number of fittings as I kept losing inches and she was so patient and kind, never complained. I asked her to take a look at the bustle on the dress as it didn't feel right the way the manufacture placed hooks and buttons. She completely redesigned the bustle and it made the world of difference!
