The Tailory

ided to go with The Tailory and I truly could not imagine having gone anywhere else. Sara is truly an artist and so talented and I was never once worried about my dress once it was in her hands. She was such a pleasure to work with, and made both of my fitting appointments so enjoyable. She spends so much time with you at your appointments making sure your dress fits perfectly and just the way you like it, and has such an attention to every single detail. When I went to my final fitting, the dress felt like it was custom made for me after she worked her magic on it. I could not recommend her enough - you and your wedding dress will be in the best hands!

due to the pandemic. The top portion of my dress was far too large when I first brought it in, but Sara did a great job both resizing it and refitting the lace. It felt like a dream to wear it! I could not recommend Sara more!

his crazy time. My husband really loved the bustle.

id of Honor and I about how the gown was very dependent on the person tying it, and she was just perfect. I had a specific vision for my gown and she completely went with it, more importantly she did not try to deter me from it like some tailors can tend to do. Sara perfectly and thoroughly explained to me what I was asking for, what it meant as far as wearing it, etc, and I was able to make fully informed decisions without feeling "led" into them. I loved her so much! Highly recommend.

, esp since I read a lot of horror stories online for other seamstresses, but she is DEFINITELY the one to trust. She took her time and is truly an expert at what she does. My dress had 3 parts --a dress, a skirt that overlaid, and wings that attached to the back. I had no idea what my "strategy" was for wearing each piece, but she even offered her advice which was so sweet of her - she truly cares about your big day and I would 1000% recommend her!!!

hes on my wedding dress for our reception. She is so friendly and warm and is definitely someone you can trust with your wedding dress! Sara is professional and thorough and did a wonderful job making me feel fantastic for my wedding weekend!

t like a dream :) I cannot say enough kind words about how friendly and talented Sara was through the whole process. Highly recommended!

ul at every appointment. I can't express my gratitude for her services enough. She is very prompt in all of her responses via email and takes time to talk to you at every appointment. You won't find a better person to tailor your dress and ease your wedding worries.

ner gown. She made the fitting process extremely easy and comfortable. Highly recommend!

dding dress from the mid-70s (which was basically a nightgown, as was the style back then) that I wanted to revive as a shortened rehearsal dress. She immediately understood how to approach each type of dress, expertly fit all of them to my body while ensuring I felt comfortable, and listened to my feedback. Her transformation of my mom's dress was beautiful and she also added a comb to my mom's simple tulle veil so I could wear that with one of the dresses. All the dresses looked fantastic.

and I am not exaggerating when I say the dress was my absolute dream. Could not have been better! Sara is so sweet, genuine and kind. She spent plenty of time with my mom and me making sure we were completely comfortable with everything. I seriously can't say enough good things about her!!

than that she is absolutely lovely, and put me at ease even when planning was getting the most stressful. She helped me make decisions about how to alter the dress (cups, bustle, etc other things that I had no clue what I wanted) and the final product was INCREDIBLE. I could not recommend her more!

me feel like an old friend from day one. I came in with a sample dress that was over 4 sizes too big for me, and I wasn't totally in love with the style. Sara was able to take my vision and bring it to life - making this oversized strapless dress into a gorgeous, fitted (with straps!) wedding gown. I am so lucky I found Sara when looking for a tailor for my wedding dress. Cannot recommend enough; working with Sara will be the easiest (and best) wedding-related decision you'll make!

make much wider lace straps for the dress. She did an incredible job at making it look like that was how the dress was designed all along! Beyond her talent, she is so wonderful to work with. She is always kind, patient, helpful, and it is obvious that she takes great care in her work. She also made me feel so comfortable throughout the entire process. I cannot thank her enough!

o had a short-ish time frame since the dress was coming in the mail around 6 weeks before my wedding. I read these reviews and decided to send her an email and she was so nice. She mentioned that she had tailored the Katie May Lanai dress before so she knew it well. She was so sweet and tailored the dress perfectly to my body and in time for my wedding day. I would recommend her to anyone!

ERFECTLY. If I could add a picture, you would all agree. When my sister gets married she will be forced to use Sara. Oh and it doesn’t hurt that she is an absolute doll.

beautiful! It looked like it was made for me. She sewed in cups into the Made with Love dress, and covered the sheer with lace so that you did not see the lines of the cup. I can not say enough great things about Sara and her work! If you have a Made with Love dress, bring it to her!!

she promised. My dress needed boning added throughout the entire bust and Sara did an amazing job adding it without it being noticed. The end result was a dress that fit so perfectly and I felt super comfortable in! I received so many complements on my wedding day about how beautiful the dress was and how it fit, and I have Sara to thank for that!

thing she was going to do and wanted to make sure I was comfortable with what she planned to do the dress. The dress was done on time and everything came out flawlessly. Highly recommend The Tailory.

ng dress because, "what if they ruin it, what if they do something that I don't like, etc etc". However, within the first few minutes of meeting Sara I knew that I was in good hands. I even wanted to make last minute adjustments and Sara never once made me feel weird, bad, or like I was being crazy. She was accommodating with working around my work schedule to make our appointments. With Sara's alterations and adjustments, she literally made me love my dress even more than when I got it. Her craft is impeccable and I can't even put into words how amazing it was to be one of her clients. I've never met anyone as accommodating, professional, and genuinely kind as Sara. Choosing her to alter my dress was the best decision I made. I highly recommend her and she is worth every penny.

ed, super detail-oriented, incredibly talented, and unbelievably sweet. I would 100% recommend every bride in the Philadelphia area go to Sara!

aste, and her presence is so calming. She has a great attitude. I left my appointment, talking to my mom saying I wanted to be her.

fit like a glove and I received so many nice complements on it throughout the night. The bustle was also very easy for my girls to learn. I had a great experience at the Tailory and would highly recommend Sara!

smanship and attention to detail is exceptional, and she was a joy to work with. I couldn't have asked for a better wedding alterations experience, and will definitely be going back for future tailoring!

stress work, Sara made my wedding gown look as though it had been made for me! She was prompt with emails and flexible with scheduling when I needed to fit in appointments in between med school rotations and out of town trips. When I put my gown on the morning of the wedding, it was absolutely perfect. Thank you Sara for all of your work!!

made me nervous. I stalked her reviews on the Knot and Yelp and was put at ease before I even met her. She is meticulous, personable, and extremely talented (seriously, just got look at her own wedding dress- AMAZING!!). My dress fit like a glove even with my oddly shaped body and I received SO many compliments on how perfectly it fit. I almost forgot- she also tailored my after party dress, which was a completely different shape, fabric, material, etc and it couldn't have fit any better. I loved having both of my dresses in her hands and you will, too!

t Sara made it look custom made for me. I would recommend her work a hundred times over.

t I wanted. The end result was beautiful and looked amazing both in person and in pictures. She is also super sweet and responsive over email!

y gown, and Sara did an amazing job. During the visits she could tell I was nervous, and she did a great job calming me down and reassuring me. Keep in mind, the easiest way to communicate with her is via email, which was fine by me. She is quick to respond and flexible with her schedule. Payment was due at my final fitting. Her prices are fair, and although she prefers cash payments, she does accept credit cards! For any Philly Area bride, Sara was a pleasure to work with and I would recommend her in a heartbeat!

ing is very easy to come by. At my initial fitting I thought my dress fit pretty well and it wasn't until I picked up the finished gown that I truly appreciated and realized her talent. The dress fit like a glove but was still so comfortable. She was extremely attentive and gave great suggestions (many different bustle options, what to do with the belt, etc). Aside from the dress fitting perfectly, you couldn't tell there had been any alterations. She is a perfectionist and true artist. I wish she altered clothes other than wedding gowns because I would use her anytime I could!

de recommendations along the way that made the uniqueness of the dress shine (like adding dainty straps to a strapless dress)! She takes the time to understand what look you are going for and her talent is truly unparalleled. Thank you Sara for everything!

g to your ideas and asking thoughtful and clarifying questions. She took a dress with full sleeves and full back, and turned it into a lacy, summer dress I felt light and comfortable in all night. She worked diligently to make every alteration I needed in a timeline that included her own wedding (!), was always quick to respond to emails, and treated each session with me as if I were her only client. I trusted her every step of the way, and after communicating my vision to her, she made it a reality. I cannot speak more highly of her talents, or how kind and wonderful to work with she is. If you have any doubts about dress alterations, she will ease your mind and bring your vision to life. Sara rocks!

950 wedding dress into a beautiful cathedral length veil. Her patients and attention to detail really sets her apart. She made sure everything was exactly the way I wanted. The end result was perfection! Thank you Sara!!!!

ng job. Every time I went to see her she made me feel beautiful and secure in my dress. She was so kind during a time that is difficult for brides. I would recommend The Tailory for any dress altering. Sara did an amazing job!

very vivid image of what I wanted it to look like. She was so receptive to what I asked and told me realistically what she thought would and wouldn't work. Her professional demeanor and advice was exactly what I needed and I am so grateful! She went above and beyond my expectations and wishes and all for a very reasonable price! My mother in law and aunt went with me to each fitting and we can't say enough how impressed we were with her. The work she did on my dress was quite extensive too. She basically built a full corset with boning into my dress. She made a dress that was meant to be hanging from the shoulder to an off the shoulder dress. She was able to accommodate my bust, which I consistently have problems with. She also removed quite a bit of tulle from the dress. She removed the train making it sweep slightly and beautifully along the ground in the back. I felt beautiful and was comfortable all day the day of my wedding! Book her if you can… you won't regret your decision!

y dress to make me the most comfortable in it. I can't thank Sara enough for her hard work on making my dress ft perfect!

ne it's possible to do a better job. I would recommend anyone reading this to go see her. She is a true professional!

the dancing I still felt extremely comfortable in my dress and all thanks to Sara. I ended up having 4 fittings with my dress, which underwent major alterations, including the removal of quite a bit of satin (in the skirt and under the train), the fitting of my sleeves, addition of a bustle, and hand application of a large amount of lace. Throughout the whole process, I never once doubted Sara’s work. She immediately made me feel comfortable from my very first visit and has a wonderful way of taking your thoughts into account while also offering advice/suggestions. She was always prompt and professional in her email communications. When I put my dress on at my final fitting, it fit me like a glove – Sara’s work is impeccable. I had no issues with my dress the whole time I was in it on my wedding day, and she had made sure my mother and I knew how to zip, button, and bustle it before we left the final fitting. I cannot recommend Sara highly enough! She is truly an artist and an expert tailor.

making a long drive up there.

end Sara.

autiful I have ever felt and it was all thanks to Sara! Not only is she an incredibly talented tailor and designer, she is a very kind and sweet person that really makes you feel comfortable and good about yourself. She is very professional and was an absolute pleasure to work with! Thanks again Sara!

. She was even able to accommodate my crazy schedule. The results were beautiful, too; my dress fit perfectly and was exactly what I had asked for. I'm so happy that I found The Tailory and can't recommend Sara enough!

since it is a completely backless dress. Sara did an impeccable job; the dress fit me so perfectly on my wedding day and I got so many compliments. Sara is very sought after and books up quickly so contact her for your needs ASAP! She is worth every penny.

onal. I would definitely recommend her!
