Susan Perrone Couture

If you get your dressed altered here don't be alarmed by the price. It can get expensive depending on what you need for your dress. However, this shop specializes in gowns and wedding dresses. Your dress will be in the best hands possible. My dress was altered perfectly I would choose them again & again for dress alterations.

If you live on the East Coast (or even if you don't) and need an excellent seamstress for your big day I highly recommend Susan Perrone. Susan was able to accommodate a very tight timelines to hem and take in my wedding dress. She even found time to alter a bridesmaid dress! Her and Mona are a dynamic team and they really display exceptional customer service to all their clients. I felt very much at ease that my wedding dress would look beautiful on the big day....and it did. Thank you to Susan!!

I cannot say enough positive things about Susan Perrone Couture! Susan and Mona go above and beyond for their clients and truly treat them like royalty. They are the absolute nicest people to work with and will make you feel so comfortable! They bend over backwards for you to make sure you are beyond happy! Alterations on my mother's dress and bridesmaids are perfection. After working with them I would never go anywhere else! I sent my girls and my mom to get their alterations done by Susan and I could not be happier. My friends and mother also raved about their A+ experience. They were professional and so warm and friendly that they feel like family! Best place around for bridal, alterations, and beyond!!

I contacted Susan Perrone 12 days before my wedding in a panic. I had picked up my wedding dress from another tailor and was NOT happy with the final fit. It seems they had maxed out their abilities and said the only way to fix my dress was massive reconstruction that would leave ugly seams in it. I was distraught but decided to get a second opinion. I found Susan Perrone thanks to reviews like this one. She emailed me back within a couple of hours, fit me in the next morning and managed to have my dress done and perfect within five days. It's beautiful! I couldn't be happier. They were all so lovely and professional. I couldn't recommend them more.

It was such a pleasure to work with Susan and Mona on the alterations of my wedding dress. I had bought my dress in Canada and needed to find someone to do alterations in NJ, I didn't know anyone but found Susan Perrone online and I'm so thankful I did! She did amazing work on my gown and was always reassuring that everything would come out perfectly, and it did! I felt so beautiful on my day and I owe that to the wonderful women at Susan Perrone Couture! They also sell beautiful accessories, I got a faux-fur wrap and 2 hair pieces, which Susan creatively sewed one of the hair pieces into the wrap as a broach, turned out stunning! Highly recommend this shop!

I am amazed at the beautiful and perfected work that Susan and her team performed on my wedding dress. They were somehow able to add two inches in the bust in order to make my dress fit to perfection. In addition they were able to hem everything at my waist in order to preserve the detailed lace trim at the bottom and bustled my dress using a 'french bustle' which held up well to an entire evening of dancing. Susan and her staff were always pleasant and lovely to work with. I would certainly recommend them to anyone! Definitely one of my favorite vendors to work with! : )

Susan and Mona are such a pleasure to work with. Other stores I visited stressed me out just by talking to their staff but here they helped and guided me through the whole process. As soon as you walk in their store, you know they are professionals in what they do and they love doing it too! I had different ideas to add on to my wedding dress which could have meant more costs but Susan was honest and had my best interest in mind. She suggested to keep the gown as designed by Vera Wang. She made sure I was comfortable with every detail. I had my mom's dress altered here too and Susan was able to create a custom wrap for her that perfectly matched her dress. Susan always goes above and beyond. I did not have the correct slip to go with my gown and without even asking her, she offered to switch my slip to one she had that was the correct one. Don't look anywhere else! If you have your wedding gown and other entourage dresses' alterations done here, you won't regret it. :)

I purchased an expensive never-worn dress from a family friend and was soooo nervous about finding someone to alter it!!! The fabric was organza and I was terrified of it being ruined. I found Susan and all my fears disappeared. She is professional, has great recommendations for accessories, undergarments, anything your dress needs! She sells jewelry which we purchased for our bridesmaids. She makes clothes too! I would use her again!! Take anything to her! Really reasonable prices too.

Susan Perrone is wonderful! I met with her at least 4 times to make sure every aspect of my dress was perfect. She always took me on time and made my dress fit perfectly for my wedding day. She absolutely takes the time and has the expertise to work with all types of fabrics. Susan Perrone will make your wedding dress truly yours and make you feel comfortable and fantastic in your dress. I would absolutely recommend Susan Perrone.

I can't say enough good things about Susan. I had my civil wedding in 2010 and my church wedding in 2013. In 2010 I had a highly respected seamstress in Midtown, NY work on my dress. What a disaster. Not only was it hundreds of dollars, but the bottom was all uneven and I was stepping on the dress. So here we are 2013 and I am 4 sizes smaller and I have this mess of a dress, the top half entirely made of Chantilly lace from France and the bottom is French Silk. It was only two months till my wedding. Susan absolutely transformed the dress. It fit me like it was made for me. I also had a tear in my lace, Susan knew EXACTLY what to do... I could not find where the tear was after Susan worked on it. Every part of that dress had to be altered. Susan had even said it would have been easier to make the dress from scratch, and i'm sure she was right! Susan never lost her patience, if it wasn't right, it was done again until I was happy. Poor Susan, I had her change that dress at least three times... we removed sashes, bones, the horsehair rim around the bottom. Like I said, we worked on that dress till it was right and I was happy... we redid the hem, Susan remade the strapless top inside so it laid flat and flattered my figure. Something wasn't right with the dress and Susan could see it, so she adjusted the back seam around the back completely and took it in. I could go on and on, but honestly there isn't anything Susan can't do in my opinion because she had to do it to my dress! Susan, I can't thank you enough. I felt like a princess! I'm very grateful to you and thankful for all your hard work!

I purchased my gown at Pronovias, but heard terrible things about their alterations department, so through one of the Community Boards on the Knot I found out about Susan and I am so grateful I did! I had a beautiful gown with feathers in the bodice and tens of layers of fabric and Susan did a marvelous job of hemming it A LOT, taking it in while preserving the original look, and forming a beautiful bustle for a HUGE gown! She was patient & pleasant, took her time with me and had 4 fittings with me, and was extremely professional! You can tell she knows what she is doing and she does it incredibly well. I can't even begin to express how thankful I am for a job well done on a dress that was truly overwhelming! It fit me like a glove and I was complimented endlessly on my big day. Thank you, Susan!
