original alterations

e looked at how they marked the hem and showed me that they had actually ruined the fabric with the way they did it, but was very good at helping with ideas to fix it. She was supportive and patient throughout the fitting process and showed me different ways in which we could change the dress to suit my vision. My fiancé and I were eloping so the pictures we’d have were everything to me, and I wanted my dress to be perfect. She definitely delivered in that front! The dress fit perfectly and was exactly how we had talked about. You can tell she is extremely experienced. I am very thankful for the wonderful work that she provided and would recommend that any bride in/around the Columbus area go to her rather than take your chances with anyone else touching your dress. Thanks so much!!!

een altered to some capacity, many places I called said thy wouldn't even touch it. However, when I called original alterations, Shamsi said she wouldn't turn me down right off the bat. When I came in, she said the alterations wouldn't be simple, but within a couple of weeks, my dress fit me like a glove - it was perfect! I literally thought I might have to buy a new dress, but Shamsi saved the day! I would highly recommend her to anyone!

wedding dress alterations!

ss, I thought it fit pretty well and I would just need to get it hemmed and add a bustle. However, when I took it to Original Alterations, Shamsi showed me a few other alterations she could do to make it fit even better, and when I picked it up, the dress could not have been more flattering, and it looked even more beautiful than I had ever pictured the final product!! I was really nervous about having my dress altered/leaving it with someone as I wanted it to be perfect, but Original Alterations made me feel comfortable leaving it in their hands. Shamsi is so genuine and truly loves helping women look and feel their best on their big day. I cannot thank her enough and highly recommend her services for any alterations you need (especially for something as important as your wedding dress)!!

ce I called her in late July with a wedding in September, but she nailed it even with my weight loss in between all of my visits. My dress fit so perfectly on my wedding day and just looked beautiful. Thank you! Highly recommend for any alteration needs!!

perfectly! Wonderful experience!

ell that it was originally a much bigger size. My mom was so impressed by the work she did that she ended up taking her MOB dress there to get altered.

ng their for their dresses!

so caught a part that the original dress makers had made a mistake on and fixed it for free!

fectly altered my dress to fit me. Beautiful work at a great price. Everyone commented on how beautiful my French bustle was. Thanks Anna!

h the service.

so that it goes smoothly the day of the wedding! I was so happy with how well my alternations came out. Would highly recommend!! Thank you!

y far in advance, and she reassured me that she would be able to help make any last minute adjustments closer to wedding day if need be.

ecause of the way the bust had been altered. I asked if there was a way to fix it, but said I didn't want to pay any extra since I could just pin it if needed. She said no problem and then fixed it in 5 minutes and then charged me $10 extra for it!!! At that point it was done so there wasn't much I could do, but I was very upset and felt taken advantage of when I was told I wouldn't have to pay extra for the quick fix. Clearly I'm in the wrong business if I could be making $10 for 5 mins of work!

to work with! I would recommend them and will go back if I ever need anything altered in the future!

h no loops or buttons coming loose at all. She also took in my strapless dress the perfect amount, so it didn't slip or slide at all--I felt comfortable and beautiful in my dress. I highly recommend Shamsi!!

alterations were done perfectly and I'm pretty picky. You can tell Shamsi loves what she does and puts her heart into her work. It was easy to get an appointment and they worked around my scheduled of when I needed the dress back. I would suggest getting in early during peak wedding season in order for them to accommodate. My only complaint is that my dress was not pressed when I picked it up and was still quite wrinkly and full of static. Because of the silk material, they wanted me to come back in to have it steamed right before the wedding. I live in New Albany and didn't want to make the trip back to Dublin, so they showed me how to steam it myself and told me to use cheesecloth to avoid damaging the dress (since I own a clothes steamer) which was very helpful.

in California and had all of the dress alterations done there, but we were never totally satisfied with the work of our original seamstress. So the Friday before the Saturday wedding, we found Shamsi on yelp. I called her at 830a (before she opened officially) and explained our situation to her. She was happy to fit us in to her tight Friday schedule and she had the alternations done before noon!!! Moreover, the alterations were fantastic and made the dress look so, so much better! Shamsi was so nice, professional and very flexible for us - we cannot thank her enough!! Highly, highly recommend!!!

ress for me and they did it in one fitting. I figured since they're doing so much to this dress the price would be through the roof. But the price was extremely reasonable! I definitely recommend this place, they're AMAZING!

it perfect! She and her team were amazing to work with and I will definitely take future alterations to her.

onth until my wedding day. My dress was altered quickly, and beautifully. I will recommend any bride I know to contact Original Alternations for their dress needs.

ke adding a piece to the back to secure me in the dress, sewing a complimentary piece of elastic in my spanks to stop them from showing above the backline of my dress, and adding a small piece of fabric to the neckline beneath the beading to ensure that it did not rub on my skin. All of these alternations that she provided were through her observations and not my requests; it was like she was reading my mind! The bustle that she suggested for my dress was absolutely beautiful and held flawlessly throughout the evening. I am incredibly thankful that I trusted her with my dress!

and then re-applying the lace, added a two tier 3 point bustle. She also added lace straps that were wider in width in the back. The dress fit perfectly. I thought the alterations were expensive but so worth it!

how to make your wedding dress look and feel like it was custom made! I danced all night and never had to pull my strapless dress up once and the bustle looked amazing. I felt like a princess and I got so many compliments on my dress. I am so happy I chose Shamsi to do the alterations, I highly recommend her!

hat?!). Her work is flawless and my dress fits like a glove. Thank you Shamsi for making the dress of my dress fit perfectly! Don't take your dress anywhere but Original Alterations. You will not be disappointed!

e to the top in a very short time span and was extremely kind and calming throughout the whole process. She really brought me much needed relief in a very stressful situation and I could not have been happier with the results of her work!

in the front of my dress was also attached to the layer underneath where it should not have been causing it to wrinkle badly when I wore it. She was also able to think of a creative fix for this and you can't even tell it was ever altered. Also the pricing is reasonable!

r us to spend an additional half an hour deciding on veil placement, hair style, etc. I didn't realize until we left that we were the last appointment for the day, and Shamsi and her co-worker didn't show any signs of annoyance (they probably wanted to go home!). Shamsi was also great with showing my mom how the bustle worked, and giving additional tips on smoothing out the dress, etc. Even more: I am type I diabetic and wear an insulin pump. At our first appointment, we discussed how the tubing would work through my dress (it's tricky: basically like having a pager attached to you! haha!). Shamsi not only made special cuts for the tubing, she added safety pins at the small cuts in each layer so I could find them easier to put the tubing through. This was done at no extra cost. Simply put: I was blown away at the thoughtfulness, attention to detail, and skill Shamsi showed when working with her. On top of the that, the prices were very reasonable. I would recommend Original Alterations over and over again.

d recommend her to everyone in the area!

n I asked her if she could do it. She was able to take the one thing I didn't like about my dress and turn it into the dress of my dreams! I will be recommending her to everyone I know!

l and efficient - the whole process only took about a month and a half, and the cost was very reasonable. I highly recommend!

sed the dress. I did some research and found Original Alterations and couldn't be happier! Shamsi put my mind at ease during the first fitting with her expertise and had the dress altered in a very short time frame. She even created a custom bustle and took a video for my MOH to know how to fix it the day of. Shamsi is very excellent to work with and a breath of fresh air with her knowledge and attention to details especially compared to other wedding vendors I have dealt with along the way. I highly recommend Original Alterations for high quality and fair pricing!

any friends or family! :)

raft. I know everyone is in it for the money, but when i asked her to let the dress out (which she could have made more money from doing), she truly had my BEST interest at hand and made only the alterations that absolutely needed to be done and did them BEAUTIFULLY! She truly wants to ensure that you look your best and are comfortable on your special day! Would certainly recommend to anyone looking for an amazing seamstress!!!!!!

to work with and efficient .... the turn around time was quick. Her prices are affordable especially considering the amount of work that was put into the gown.

s!

ss fit like a glove! I would recommend Original Alterations to any bride in the area looking for a quality seamstress.

d developed a bustle that worked perfectly with the design of the dress. We had to let out my dress a bit and she was able to create a lace panel along the side that blended perfectly. I was very happy with the final fit of my dress and received many compliments on the day of my wedding. I live out of town and my dress delivery was delayed over two months, but Shamsi was very flexible with my schedule. I had no problems scheduling three fittings with her later in the evening so I could drive into Dublin after work. I really appreciate not having to take time off from my job to make appointments and still being able to complete all of my alterations on time. Her prices also seemed very reasonable considering the amount of work involved with the lace on my dress.

ctly.

t I wanted and provided wonderful suggestions and had everything looking great in time for my wedding. I cannot thank her enough!

reat job and was very wonderful to work with. I had 3 fitting appointments and she was very detailed and made sure that everything was fitting right and still looked good after the alterations were done. I will definitely be using her again and recommending her for alterations.
