Angela is simply the best and was my favorite part of the wedding experience! She was recommended to me by a friend who said she saved her wedding dress and was her favorite part of the wedding. After getting married a few weeks ago, I can say the same! She took a gown that was many sizes too big and made it fit perfectly how I envisioned and redesigned it from buttons to a corset back. She is not only incredibly skilled at her craft, but just a joy to be in the presence of! She is a real life fairy godmother, creating your dress to fit perfectly and coaching you on the details you didn't even think of: how to hold your flowers, what type of material you'll be walking on (grass, concrete, etc) and letting you practice your walk so that you're prepared for the big day. She created a beautiful bustle for my dress and coached my mom on how to pin it up so we'd be ready for the day. When my husband lifted me in our choreographed first dance, the perfect corset fit and bustle made me feel comfortable and secure so that I could fully enjoy our first dance and the rest of the dancing that night. I also used skin tape to make it more secure like she suggested. She even gave me advice on how to get it cleaned and preserved and the cleaners did a fantastic job. I had a dream wedding day thanks to Angela. I will miss seeing her for our appointments!
Angela was an absolute joy to work with! She is an expert with her craft and I knew I was in good hands from the minute we met. She helped me redesign my great grandmothers wedding dress from 1940. The sleeves were shortened, the length was shortened, we redesigned the chest, and she made me a custom veil. I highly recommend her!
Angela is simply the best of the best. Not only is she a highly skilled seamstress, she goes above and beyond for her brides, counseling you on the littlest of details related to your bridal appearance like how to walk, making sure you're wearing comfortable shoes, how to hold your bouquet, and navigating fitting into your wedding dress based on your unique situation. Angela's attention to detail is impeccable, she was so kind in her communication, always on time for my appointments, and made the whole process a delight instead of a stress. I am so glad I was able to work with Angela on my wedding gown, and would highly recommend her to anyone wanting an excellent seamstress!
Angela is a true angel - all of my friends and family know who she is because I couldn't stop raving about her from the first day I met her. I truly don't have the words to describe how incredible she is. She is kind, talented, funny, and a joy to be around and work with. Wedding dress alterations can be stressful and scary, but Angela took all of that away. She spends so much time with you (multiple fittings) and on your dress and goes above and beyond. She altered my dress to fit ME and was constantly making minor adjustments to ensure things were just right. She doesn't settle for less than perfect and her attention to detail is impeccable. Apart from her talent and skill as a seamstress (she comes from a family of wedding seamstresses and has seen it all!), I looked forward to all of my fittings with Angela in the midst of all the wedding planning stress because she always made me feel beautiful and confident and reminded me of what a wedding should really be about. I cannot thank her enough for all of her time, advice, wisdom, and for making me feel amazing in my wedding gown.
Angela is my bridal fairy godmother!!! She did THREE dresses for me and made each one even better. She’s a joy to talk to and an expert at her craft. My sister will use her, my friends will use her, I’ll use her for bridesmaid dresses - can’t say enough good things about this woman!!
If you are looking for the best of the best, you are in the right spot. I can’t say enough good things about Angela. She saved my sister’s wedding dress 5 years ago. Literally saved it. So, I knew when it was my time to get married, she was going to be the first person I called. She recreated my mom’s HUGE wedding dress into a short off the shoulder modern dress for my rehearsal dinner. It was so special being able to wear my mom’s dress and it even brought lots of tears to my dad’s eyes. She also worked MAGIC on my wedding dress. She had to do a lot of work to get my dresses right and she did just that. She is a perfectionist and truly has a talent that I have never witnessed before. I would recommend her over and over again.
Angela made the whole process of dress fitting amazing. She knows exactly what she is doing and she has being doing this for a long time. My dress was hard to tailor but she did a fantastic job and everything was absolutely beautiful. Highly Highly Highly recommend.
If you can book with Angela - DO IT!! Her experience and expertise are absolutely unmatched. I had 4 fittings and can honestly say I had so much fun at each of them and my gown fit like a dream. I even bought my veil from her and love it far more than anything Id seen in a salon. She has a solution to anything and is the kindest, sweetest soul. Need some styling advice or an accessory? Angela has you covered there too. She is amazing and you will LOVE your time with her. You won't regret it!!
I cannot stress this enough....USE ANGELA FOR YOUR ALTERATIONS. She not only does incredible work, but becomes your friend throughout the entire process. She is super professional and makes sure you know everything! (even what you didn't know you needed). She is hands down the best!
Angela is very knowledgeable, kind, and professional. My gown turned out beautifully and fit perfectly.
Angela IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! She was like my wedding dress whisper and wedding dress fairy godmother! Her talent is over and beyond for anyone looking for alterations or wedding dress glam. She was such a breath of fresh air, super professional, incredibly talented, and kind! I so looked forward going to my fittings with her and she always made me feel happy and supported. She handled my dress with utmost care and respect like it was her own. THANK YOU ANGELA! :)
Lovely Bride Atlanta recommended Angela to me. I made the hike from Atlanta to Marietta to get my wedding gown altered and I am so happy I did. From the first second you meet Angela, she will make you feel as if you have known her forever! She is so happy, funny, and honest and will help you think through all of the most important aspects that go into getting your dress altered! Trust me, she will make you think about things you would have never considered! So that when your wedding day rolls around, you will be 100% ready and your dress will be 100% unique to you and your body. I felt so comfortable in my dress and I owe all of that to Angela. I would recommend Angela to anyone looking to get their wedding dress altered, it was a wonderful experience.
Angela was an absolute joy to work with! She is so friendly and kind and truly takes care of absolutely every single detail. She's incredibly knowledgeable and made me feel so at ease at each fitting and I knew going into the big day I had absolutely nothing to worry about. I felt perfectly secure even with the deep v in my dress and the waist and hem were adjusted perfectly. Couldn't recommend her enough for how skilled she is and how wonderful it was to work with her. Thank you Angela! 💛
Angela was a dream to work with! She was friendly, communicative, and made me feel super comfortable at each appointment. She made me feel very confident in my dress by adding some extra fabric to the deep-V and it looked as if it had always been there.
Angela was the best! Very friendly, knowledgeable. I loved working with her. My mermaid-style wedding dress was fitted perfectly. She did not miss a single detail. I have referred every single one of my friends to her. I cannot recommend her enough!
Angela is absolutely incredible and so talented. I completely changed my neckline on the dress and she did every alteration so perfectly! She is a joy to work with and such a light during the crazy wedding planning process. I highly recommend working with Angela for your alterations!
Angela at Sew Classy Bridal Designs was awesome! From our first visit, it was clear how much experience she has with bridal alterations and she is so. much. fun! She made me comfortable and provided great suggestions to make my dress look and feel great. We had three visits together and she shared so much knowledge and tips that I felt prepared to take my dress home and have it ready for our wedding day. Thanks to Angela, I felt fabulous for the ceremony and the rest of the evening dancing!
Angela is so much more than a seamstress for wedding dress alterations. She's a full wedding stylist, a friend, and at times even a therapist. As a fourth generation seamstress, she's a true master of her craft with the most lovely personality.
From the moment you walk into her home (which has 4+ rooms dedicated to wedding dresses!), you feel like part of her family. She has a level of attention to detail that only comes from years and years of experience. She'll ask you what earrings your wearing, what type of floor / ground you're walking on, how much you plan to dance, how you want to wear your hair, among other things so that she can ensure that your dress will not only look perfect, but will allow you to enjoy the type of wedding day you want. She does 200+ dresses per year and does everything herself - she's seen so many dresses and brides that there is truly nothing she can't do or that she hasn't seen. Wedding dresses are not an easy sewing job, and there are very few people who have the experience and understanding of dress construction that Angela does.
My particular dress was not easy - I'm under 5 feet tall, had a sample size dress that needed a lining, and ended up losing more weight than expected. I ended up having 5 different fittings, which had the perfect balance of recommendations and also listening to what I wanted. My dress fit me so perfectly, and I felt amazing on my wedding day.
If you're able to snag a spot with Angela, consider yourself one of the lucky ones!
Best seamstress ever! Angela’s talent is endless and her prices are very reasonable for the outstanding service she provides. She altered my daughter’s gown by adding sleeves and taking in the dress after a 40lb weight loss. Gorgeous work, she looked like a fairy princess on her special day. Run, don’t walk to Angela’s, if you need any special occasion alterations work. You won’t regret it.
I booked Angela the week after I bought my wedding gown (knowing it would be about 6-9 months for me to receive the gown - I had heard such great things and knew I wanted to work with her and wanted to get on her calendar as soon as I could). Angela was an absolute pleasure to work with - she was great at communicating the timeline and her attention at each of our sessions was on point. She was very detailed oriented and the quality in the work was top notch. I would recommend her to anyone and would give her more than 5 stars if I could.
Angela is seriously the absolute best seamstress in Atlanta! She created a bolero and belt for my wedding dress and altered my wedding dress to fit like a glove! She is a pleasure to work with and fitted me in according to my schedule as I was flying in from out of the state. I would recommend Angela every time to everyone!
Angela was a true gift to meet and have complete my wedding dress! She thought of everything that I couldn’t even begin to think of when fitting my dress, adding a beautiful embellishment and bringing my vision to light! Her professionalism, attention to detail and overall just wonderful person to work with made this experience so stress free for me! Thank you, Angela- I felt like a princess!
Angela is absolutely a first rate, 5 star professional. She was a delight to work with, always punctual and finished our alterations ahead of schedule. She is a master seamstress and was able to reconstruct a few features on the bridal gown. I give her the highest recommendation. You will be so thankful you worked with her!
Angela is 100% the best choice for wedding dress alterations!!! She is more knowledgeable and skilled than anyone else you could probably find in GA- seriously! And she is also so sweet and flexible. She re-did major portions of my dress since it was a good bit too large and it turned out beautifully. I dont think I could have taken it anywhere else and gotten a close result.
Angela knows what she's doing. She was a pleasure to work with and I was so glad she handled my wedding gown. There were a good amount of alterations and she was patient and detail oriented. She works by having a couple different sessions which was useful. The final product was beautiful and fit perfectly!! Thank you!!
Angela,
Many, many thanks!!!This dress was stunning, it fit beautifully, the buttons were arranged perfectly. The wrist strap was perfect for dancing and the bustle was lovely. Kelly was absolutely stunning in it..... it was made for her!
Thank you for all your help, dedication and mostly your skills. We never felt rushed or felt pushed into a single solution. You went above and beyond especially with the bustle. I know why you are so popular!!
Angela is the absolute BEST!! She's very personable while also maintaining professionalism! I couldn't be happier with the alterations. She has a wonderful eye and such talent. My dress came in 6 months late due to COVID, and she was still able to fit me in before my October wedding and was able to get everything completed in time. She conducts several fittings which is so crucial as your body can change over time. It also ensures that your dress fits your body perfectly!! You won't regret choosing Sew Classy Bridal Designs.
It’s a shame there’s only 5 stars to give because Angela deserves at least double that. After not being able to find my dream dress on the rack, we started looking for styles that could be converted, dependent on a great seamstress. Well, we more than found that in Angela and she recreated an off-the-rack into a custom dream of a wedding gown. In addition, she also custom made my garter and six pence pouch from some fabric from my late grandmothers night gowns, and unexpectedly included blue hearts from my deceased fathers blue dress shirt. Far beyond our expectations in all facets! We also purchased my wedding earrings, some undergarments and a dress for my mother from Angela - she provides lots of beautiful and hard to find extras outside of her stellar seamstress work! Do. Not. Hesitate. Get in touch with her the second you’re ready to press “go” on a dress and secure your spot with her! Without any question one of the best decisions I made in wedding prep!
Angela is the best! She does an amazing job with any alterations needed. For my wedding dress, she took in the waist, shortened the straps and hemmed. Her work is incredible and she is such a pleasure to spend time with in the process. She also creates beautiful bridal hairpieces and has a great selection of veils available.
Angela did an amazing job making my dress exactly what I wanted! She was so accommodating with her schedule through the craziness of this season and made my experience very special. Would recommend to everyone!
The work Angela did on my dress was simply incredible!! Her detailed work on my Justin Alexander gown was perfect. She had quite a bit of alterations to complete since I wore flats for my wedding. The selection of accessories available made my entire style perfect for our big day. I miss seeing Angela because she makes you feel absolutely at home working with her!
Angela is an outstanding seamstress who is professional and also has an extremely bubbly personality! She met with me prior to COVID-19 for my first fitting and still managed to get my dress to me in time for my May wedding with days to spare. I'm a shorter, curvier girl and she had to essentially re-design the dress to fit my body. She lived up to the challenge and executed it perfectly. I felt amazing in my dress. She is a lovely person and an expert at what she does! I highly recommend her!
Angela truly transformed my dress and reconstructed it to fit me like a glove. It fit like a dream and couldn't have been more perfect for my wedding. I highly recommend her!
Angela was an absolute dream to work with! I came to her with a wedding dress I liked a lot, but needed it to be transformed into my dream dress, and she did just that. When I first purchased my dress, it didn't have sleeves, but I knew I wanted sleeves for my December 27th wedding. Angela used the lace I purchased from the place I got my dress from and added the most perfect lace, long sleeves to my gown. She also did all of the other alterations perfectly: took out the crinoline I requested she take out, take in the bodice, shorten the hem, added a crystal belt (that she had in her shop!), and made me a beautiful veil. Angela is incredible at what she does and I felt beautiful in my dress on my wedding day. I got so many compliments on my dress and it was because of Angela's skill and expertise! Not only is she talented, but she also made me feel so comfortable at every appointment and is hilarious. Thank you Angela!!
I feel so lucky that I found Angela! I moved to Atlanta from Chicago and had no idea where to find a seamstress for a wedding dress. My dress was two sizes too big and had enough fabric for probably 3 dresses. The additional fabric made my hips look much larger than they are. Angela worked her magic and the dress turned out perfect. She is one of the most talented people I have ever met. She has an eye for design and is not afraid to be honest. She gave her honest opinion about the design aspects of the dress which I really appreciated. On top of her honesty, she is so sweet. I felt like I could trust her 100%. Angela also has tons of accessories! I bought some hair pins from her. The prices are good and it's nice to be able to try on the pieces with the dress.
Angela was just awesome! She was super sweet and did a fantastic job on my gown. She is super in demand so I had to reach out early but it was definitely worth it. She made sure that I knew what the dress was supposed to look and feel like and also wanted to make sure I was comfortable for my big day! If she did anything other than wedding gowns I would use her again!
Magnificent work. I really can not put into words how amazingly talented Angela is. Her experience and passion for making it perfect because she knows how much it means to you is outstanding. She knows you must be comfortable and is not afraid to suggest or even show you options. She removed the belt on my dress because I thought it should be lower and after she attached it lower I then changed my mind and went back to where it was before. The whole time she knew it would look better where it was but she did it to show me and without any hesitation. Angela has a warm and welcoming personality that creates the perfect environment. Before I purchased my dress, I was allowed to bring the sample to her in order to make sure she could work with the unique lace bottom in the way that I wanted. It was no problem and she gladly accepted the task. Everything was perfect.
Angela is a PRO! She made great suggestions and made my dress even more beautiful than I thought possible. I was never worried about my dress after I met her. She handled everything!!
Angela is a true professional and very good at what she does. Very knowledgeable about dress-making & alterations. Really took the time to answer all my questions and put me at ease throughout the whole process. My dress turned out even more beautiful than I expected and pictures look amazing. Very fair pricing and she even takes Venmo, so it’s super convenient! Highly recommend!
Love Angela! Thought my wedding dress was perfect when I bought it, but somehow Angela managed to elevate it even further!
Angela was an amazing seamstress. She was very kind and very knowledgeable in her field. She provided recommendations of how the dress should look and feel. I was very happy with how my dress fit my body after she altered it. I highly recommend her to any bride, no matter how much or how little your dress needs altering.
Angela was amazing to work with! She helped me create a completely unique and customized wedding dress from a simple body that I purchased. She helped me make it my own with her sketches and the final product turned out perfect! Just as we had discussed. I loved working with her because she was professional, funny, and made me and my family feel at home. Go to her for all your wedding needs! She has great advice and tips all around. Thank you Angela!
Shop early, they said. Look for the wedding dress soon after the engagement, they said. Well, we did and found THE dress a year before the wedding, but waited closer to the wedding date for any alterations…where it had time to haunt the bride with “What if it had…?” and “If only…” and “Styles have changed and now I wish…”, and you get the picture.
Now we had the task of finding a seamstress who could take on not only hemming the lace-trimmed ball gown and train, but also talented enough to re-design the bodice, lower the front into more of a sweetheart, open up the back into a deeper V, add an illusion neckline and hand place lace appliqués on all the new lines to soften and add a romantic feel. 6 weeks never looked so daunting! After looking everywhere and ruling out anyone who had a bad review (yes, even only one, as I didn’t want my daughter to be the “one” who had a chance of a bad experience), I reached out to Angela. What a beautiful, calming, endearing, pixie-esque, redhead who happened to be a seamstress extraordinaire! Putting my daughter at ease on the very first visit reassured us both that the dream dress vision for this bride was about to happen, and it was amazing!
My daughter received so many compliments about her gorgeous lace gown and nobody could believe it had been re-designed. The bride radiated confidence and couldn’t wait to share that First Look with her groom. She took his breath away! It was all just perfect! Angela Maw was the easiest wedding vendor experience from start to finish – from the beautiful hand sketched details to the long-awaited first kiss as Mrs! We would certainly recommend any bride to choose Angela Maw and Sew Classy Designs. It’s one wedding vendor decision you won't regret. Happy Wedding Planning!!!
Angela is an expert in her field! She could not have made the process any easier than it was. She altered my dress with such skill, I didn’t worry for one moment that it would be perfect. Angela is certainly the best!
There is no greater seamstress.
I came with a difficult task for Angela. My dress was too small around the bust. As a panicked bride, I reached out to Angela and she warmly welcomed me to her home. Not only was she able to see the problem within moments, she was able to get creative with how to blend more fabric perfectly into the bust of the dress including an added illusion top.
When I put on my dress for the final fitting, I couldn't hold back the tears. The dress fit my body like a glove. I was able to fit beautifully into the dress of my dreams after her delicate customizations.
Angela is one of the hardest workers I know and goes above and beyond for every bride. I'm not one to always write reviews, but a service like this deserves this and more. Thank you Angela for making my panic dissolve with every meeting and allowing me to dance the night away in my flawless dress. Thank you. Mary~
Angela is amazing! She is incredibly talented and I am so glad that I chose to entrust her with my wedding dress! She was willing to roll with any changes I wanted to make to the dress and her biggest goal was to make sure I was completely happy and comfortable with the changes we made. Not only did the dress turn out perfectly, but she was such pleasure to work with and I enjoyed every minute of my time with her!
I don't even know where to begin... Angela is AMAZING! I have never met anyone who is so skilled, knowledgeable and passionate about what they do! She always made me feel so comfortable, offered helpful suggestions/opinions and did an overall amazing job altering my dress. Not only did she alter my dress, she helped re-design the top and sleeves to give my the exact look I was going for. Everything came out better than I could have dreamed of! I will only go to Angela for anything and everything alteration related from now on.
WHERE TO BEGIN! Angela was an absolute delight in every way. I started with a sample sale gown that I really liked, and ended up with a couture design that I want to happy-cry just thinking about. She was unfailingly kind and pleasant to work with. She is always honest and direct, but never pushy. Her professionalism, vision and workmanship are amazing, but what truly makes her so incredible to work with is her kindness. She made what I feared would be a stressful process into a joy. I can't recommend her highly enough.
Angela is the sweetest and works so hard on each gown. I truly enjoyed each fitting with her! Thank you so much for altering my wedding dress!
Angela is the best! Kind, patient, funny.. I LOVE HER
Angela was amazing! My dress did not make her job easy with how the fabric fell and the overall design of the dress but she made it look like a custom-made dress. She helped me not only with my dress, but my overall look for the day of. I'm so grateful for her!!
Angela is absolutely fantastic!! I had to have a decent amount of alterations to a Morilee lace dress and she did the most amazing job. Her 30 plus years as a 4th generation seamstress show! She works out of her house and is the sweetest lady. She can do custom dresses if you are looking for that. She also has tons of bridal accessories that she makes jewelry, veils, head pieces, so much more. I didn’t have a hair piece and at one of my fittings she helped me find the perfect one from her selection!! I highly recommend Angela for your bridal dress needs!!!
Angela is the best! She is an expert at what she does. She is very friendly and informative. I couldn't be happier with my dress.
Angela is amazing! She really knows what she is doing and has a true passion for this job. I was a little nervous taking my all lace dress for alterations but Angela talked me through every step of the process and offered me suggestions on what she thought may look the best and what didn't work. My dress fit me like a glove and everyone loved it! I could not have been more impressed with her talents not to mention her affordable prices. She was amazing!
