Victoria is so talented, as soon as I walked in with my wedding gown she knew exactly what I was talking about and was very knowledgeable. She made me feel secure about how my wedding dress was going to turn out, and it turned out perfect! I was so happy with how she made the bustle, hemmed it and made it smaller in my waist. THANK YOU VICTORIA! She also has altered a few other evening dresses for me and they all have been great. Don't hesitate to contact Victoria!
PLEASE!! This talented woman should be voted BEST OF for the entire state. Victoria was presented with our dress emergency one week before my daughter's wedding. I feel like she did five months of work in THREE DAYS! Hand beading, correcting another seamstresses mess, working under a tight deadline and was so GRACIOUS. She put everything aside to help us. The dress in question was a 70 year old vintage wedding dress worn by my mother in law in 1951. We had it with a seamstress since APRIL and found that she really didn't do much at all. Once my daughter picked up the dress, the threads were loose, the bustle would never hold and the zipper was crooked. Boning inside the bodice was exposed and too long. Victoria FIXED the entire thing. Working late into the night, keeping in touch with us as she made progress, we will be FOREVER GRATEFUL to this woman. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
Victoria did a wonderful job altering my wedding dress and two bridesmaids dresses for me in the past. She always makes you feel comfortable, and she makes sure that you’re happy with the end result. Thanks, Victoria!
Victoria did an amazing job on my wedding dress. It is an incredibly intricate, lace beaded bodice with cap sleeves that were too large. I was nervous about finding someone who could alter the garment and maintain the visual integrity of all the beautiful beadwork. Victoria did an amazing job and my dress fit like a glove! I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for an experienced seamstress and doesn't want to pay high-end salon prices. I am sure her custom gowns are amazing, as well! She really knows what she is doing.
Victoria was super easy to work with and very accommodating. My work schedule is difficult to work with at times and typically leaves me scattered. She was very forgiving and gracious even when I wrote down the wrong time for an appointment, and completely forgot another one I booked. Needless to say, despite me my dress turned out great and fit perfectly. Victoria even fixed my veil for me when she discovered a tear I had not previously noticed when I purchased it. I was very pleased with her work and would use her again should I the occasion call for it.
She was so great! We were able to make a dress that was too big fit perfect! And she did this at a rush because we decided only a month and a half ago to get married and the wedding is next week! Thank you and highly recommend
Victoria did a wonderful job altering my bridesmaid dress! It fits perfectly now! I would recommend her to anybody! Very friendly too!
We were referred to Victoria Karr by the bridal shop where we purchased my daughter’s wedding gown. My daughter had a beaded and lace gown which needed to be hemmed and bustled. Victoria did a wonderful job with hemming the lace dress and meticulously worked on the bustle so that it would look just perfect. Victoria also hemmed two of the bridesmaid’s dresses and did a great job. We appreciated Victoria’s willingness to schedule appointments at our convenience, expertise in giving suggestions, attention to detail, and quality workmanship! We would highly recommend Victoria Karr for any alterations! We will definitely be going back!
Victoria is an absolutely amazing designer -- a true miracle worker! I had ordered my bridesmaid dress based upon the measurements of the saleswoman at the bridal boutique where my sister purchased her wedding gown. Needless to say, when my sister delivered the dress to me, it was quite apparent that the saleswoman's measurements were beyond incorrect: the dress was about five sizes too small. Rather than dealing with the boutique' s stringent "all sales final" policy, I took my dress to Victoria when my sister had her first gown fitting. That was the best decision I ever made! Victoria added a corset and other beautiful design features, making my dress absolutely gorgeous! Talk about making lemonade from lemons! I now own a unique and exquisite gown. My mother, sister, and I have already decided that she will be making my wedding dress. If you are looking for excellent service, amazing design and/or tailoring techniques, and someone who is more than reasonably-priced, Victoria is the gal for you!!
If I could give Victoria 10 stars, I would!! Victoria did an amazing job on my daughter's Sweet 16 dress. You are kind and very accommodating! Thank you again.
Ps. Love the pictures from your hometown🤗
I searched all over Lancaster, PA for a place that would alter my bridesmaid dress, but since I didn't get the dress from those locations then were not able to see me! But, I'm happy they couldn't because then I wouldn't have met Victoria. She met with me 3 different times to make sure the dress fit perfect! she was also so flexible on when she was able to meet. Her attention to detail is incredible and she pointed out things and imperfections in the dress that I never would have saw... and she fixed them as if they were never there! She was also very reasonably priced! I can't wait until its my turn to get married and she gets to help make alterations to my own dress!
Victoria is absolutely AMAZING. I have never worked with a seamstress as hard working, efficient, and detail-oriented as Victoria. She made so many alterations to my wedding dress that I visited her 6 times between January and May leading up to my wedding. She let the dress out in some parts, took it in in others, hemmed it, added the bustle, and reinforced some beading. She was a true miracle worker! My dress fit perfectly on my wedding day. Also, I took my rehearsal dinner dress to her because it was too long. She had the amazing idea to cut the entire bottom of the dress off and create a slit up the leg so my store bought dress became a one-of-a-kind dress. She also altered my mom's dress for the wedding. She took it from a size 10 down to a size 6. She worked on the beading and made sure everything was perfect from top to bottom. I will absolutely go back to Victoria any time I need a seamstress in the future!
I was given Victoria’s name by one of my co-workers that raves about her. Best decision I made for my wedding dress! She took it in 6 sizes, added the bustle, a panel, and did many other minor adjustments that made the dress a major beauty!
She was so accommodating and friendly; I really enjoyed working with her to prepare for my wedding. I would recommend her to any of my friends and family.
Victoria did an amazing job on my wedding dress. The dress was heavily beaded and needed to be taken in a lot! She made the dress fit just right!! She also altered and added more style my maid of honor and mother of the bride dresses! She is a very talented seamstress and designer!! I highly recommend her!
If I could give Victoria 10 stars I would. She is fantastically talented and was able to make a unique wedding dress for me and make my dream come true! I highly reccomend her for any work with clothing. She can do it all create, alter, or transform an already existing dress into anything you want. I can’t say enough to do her talent justice!
Victoria is the best, in talented tailoring and sewing, and also very sweet and accommodating! I did not know of a seamstress to tailor my gown for my daughter's wedding. I found Victoria online. Wow, was I blessed. She not only tailors garments, she actually creates and makes ornate wedding gowns! Amazing! My mom and I both had our dresses altered by Victoria. She was so professional yet treated us like family. Highly recommended!!
The service Victoria provided was stellar. She did an amazing job with my daughter’s dress alterations and even made a couple of adjustments because she wanted to hide the clasps on the straps and did did the work on the spot so we didn’t need to come back. She is nice and professional and not to mention talented. We will return and have recommended her already.
I went to Victoria to have my wedding dress alterations done after my bridal shop devastatingly closed. Alterations have never been a good experience for me, and nothing ever comes out like it was promised. Needless to say I was nervous to have alternations done. Victoria was absolutely fantastic! My wedding dress truly fits like a glove. She is extremely knowledgeable, and has a lot of experience and expertise. She worked with the lace on my wedding dress taking it in and you would never know it! She is funny and welcomes you into her home with open arms! I went for one fitting and the second time I went back to try the dress on it was perfect and ready to come home. She is very reasonably priced and works very quickly. I would highly recommend her for any alternations. I drove over 2 hours to have her do mine and it was completely worth the trip! She also makes custom wedding dresses and headpieces! I promise you will NOT be disappointed. Five Stars!!
I highly recommend Victoria’s talents for your tailoring needs. I trusted Victoria to adjust my wedding dress to fit like a glove! She is so friendly and easy to work with. I felt relaxed when meeting with her, knowing my dress would turn out perfectly! She is very knowledgeable and talented and her fees are very reasonable. Thank you so much Victoria!
My dress was a more complicated design and Victoria altered it beautifully!! She was very friendly, responded quickly to my texts, and was very accommodating with my schedule! I'd highly recommend her to anyone for any type of sewing!!
I went to Victoria after purchasing my dress at Brides of Today. Victoria was prompt to respond to set up a fitting and worked around my schedule to be able to see me. She turned around the work within a week. She built draping cap type sleeves that looked amazing. She was also willing to work with me on a belt idea that I had, that I later decided against. The one downside was that when building the bustle she needed to detach part of the dress. Unfortunately, the part that was detached was built with ruched puffs that fell apart only after taking it home and fluffing it around until the little threads fell out of it. When we discovered that the train no longer sat straight nor could it be fluffed into position in less than 20 minutes, I called her up at 7:30 pm, she saw me at 8:45 and fixed it that very night!!!! In the end it all worked out and my dress looked amazing!
Amazing quality and great price. My wedding dress had lots of intricate details and was way too long and big. She expertly measured and made it fit perfectly with only 2 fittings. She worked with my timeline and was super reasonably priced. I give her my highest recommendation.
Victoria was a pleasure to work with. I made the call and she got me in right away. She is very meticulous about every detail and making sure that my wedding dress fit me perfectly. She got the dress done on time. Even for the last fitting, she had a few final alterations to do and got it done right there so I could take the dress with me. She did a fantastic job, was fun to work with, very professional and reasonably priced. I highly recommend her for any of your wedding dress or alteration needs. Thank you for making me look beautiful on my wedding day
I was referred to Victoria by a friend who was having her wedding dress altered. I needed several alterations on many dresses, and she was able to seamlessly execute every stitch! Her knowledge and skill was thorough and precise, not to mention extremely affordable.
I also had her take in some trousers for my husband. She did a great job! I look forward to using Victoria's services again.
Victoria was recommended to me by my bridal shop. She did all the alterations needed for my wedding gown (adding bustles and additional lace and taking in the top) AND made my veil. She was kind and helpful throughout the entire process, all at an affordable cost. You can tell she cares about her clients and loves what she does. She is professional and talented. She was also flexible in scheduling appointments. I was delighted with the results! I will keep her in mind for alterations in the future.
Victoria is amazing! I came in with a prom dress that had many alterations to be done. She fixed it all up and I was amazed with the results! It ended up fitting perfectly!
Victoria is amazing I dropped my dress off about 2 and a half weeks before my prom needing cups sewn in, straps tightened, hemmed, and a bustle and she did everything perfect!! She is so kind and you can’t beat her prices!
Victoria is a miracle worker. I came to her with my prom dress, wanting about 6 different seemingly impossible things done to make my dress perfect, and she did all of them with ease, and for a beyond reasonable price. She was so accommodating and sweet about my busy schedule and my nitpicking about my gown. I'll be coming back to her for my wedding gown when I get married in the future!
Victoria was so friendly, professional, and quick! She altered my wedding gown which now fits perfectly, and paid attention to small details to make an added belt look great. And the price was so reasonable!
Victoria was amazing to work with. She was accommodating and flexible to my availability, addressed all questions and most importantly did BEAUTIFUL work at a great price. I will be using her for all future needs and would recommend her to anyone. Thank you!
Victoria was amazing. She was so precise about every detail and wanted things to be perfect. I got my bridal gown down and my mother had her dress done. She even had to move beading to take my dress in and you couldn't tell. She also makes a ton of her own gowns which are beautiful. I'm not sure there isn't anything she can't do. She is a miracle worker!!!
My mother and I have both gone to Victoria for alterations for mother of the groom dress, 2 bridesmaids dresses, and even a sari blouse. Turn around time is fast and she really knows what she is doing! Easy to fit into the work week and she makes sure you are happy with the work! Alterations are inexpensive for the great value and service you are getting! She is my go-to person for alterations.
(Also caught a sneak-peak of the dresses she has made and they are gorgeous...GORGEOUS!!!! Some have such intricate details that would be stunning on any bride!)
Victoria is awesome! She altered my mother-of-the-groom dress to fit me perfectly. I also needed a sari blouse fitted and she made it fit me exactly as it was supposed to fit me.. Victoria is very talented and helps way beyond simple hemming. She's wonderful!
Victoria is absolutely amazing!!! She made my wedding dress! She listened to every detail I wanted in a wedding dress and executed it perfectly! I could not have asked for anything better. Her attention to detail was amazing. When the dress was finished it fit like a glove and was everything I wanted in a wedding dress. If you are looking to build your dream dress I highly recommend you go to Victoria. She goes above and beyond to make sure you are satisfied.
Victoria saved my wedding dress! I had a horrible experience with another seamstress which left me leaving in tears with pins all over my dress. I called Victoria and she turned a nightmare into a dream come true! I ordered the dress knowing that I wanted to customize the neckline. Victoria picked up the pieces from the first woman's mistake and helped to turn my dress into my exact vision. She pays attention to every little detail and had weekly fittings with me to make sure everything was turning out to my liking. Without her, I would have been forced to scrap the dress and start over. I am so happy that I listened to a friend's advice and called Victoria. Her prices are super reasonable too! She is so sweet and really loves what she does. If you have the opportunity to use Victoria for your dress, take it! She even makes custom dresses! I really cannot say enough good things about her!
Thank you Victoria! :)
Victoria did an incredible job on my dress! She is such a sweetheart and has great vision to make things look fantastic!! The alterations she did made the dress and I feel and look like one! Couldn't have had such an amazing day without her help! Totally recommend working with her! Her studio is inside of a family home, which I wasn't expecting at first, but location doesn't matter- just that the job is done right! She is sweet, professional, good at what she does and so caring! She also makes custom dresses if you're into that!! Thank you, Victoria!!
As a mother of the bride, I required alterations to my online purchased gown. victoria was fantastic, made recommendations and performed miracles. Amazing woman, she designs and creates one of a kind wedding gowns ,also.
I was turned down by several companies because they could not alter my ball gown prom dress. A friend recommended Victoria and she helped me last minute and did a wonderful job with the alterations! Thank you Victoria, I will be back in the near future!
Victoria did a fantastic job with my bridesmaid dress! She was quick and accommodating, and very knowledgeable. She knew exactly how to alter the dress and gave me options on what she could do as well. Would definitely recommend her.
Victoria was excellent to work with and truly made my dress perfect! I had gotten a dress that was much too big for me and she worked with us to make every part perfect. I cant wait to wear it!
