great suggestions so I felt comfortable in my dress on the day and even helped teach me and my bridesmaid how to put boob tape on! Fabulous experience all around. Would recommend them to anyone!

result and fit was perfect! The owners did a beautiful job!

was fun and very efficient. It’s clear these ladies are THE experts!

the final touch-ups, they treated my Grace Loves Lace gown with expert care and precision. Their communication was top-notch - always responsive via email and incredibly helpful during in-person fittings. They listened to my vision and offered valuable suggestions to enhance the dress's fit and style. The alterations were flawless. On my wedding day, the dress fit like a dream, allowing me to feel beautiful and comfortable throughout the celebrations. Be Fitted's skill, professionalism, and friendly demeanor made the entire alteration process stress-free and enjoyable. I highly recommend them to any bride looking for impeccable alterations and a wonderful experience. Thank you, Michelle and Diane, for playing such a crucial role in making my wedding day perfect!

a very kind mother-daughter duo, their services were subpar. I should have known that my experience would be mediocre when they required me to purchase a face covering for putting my dress on over my head. My dress buttons down the back and is easiest to get in stepping directly into the dress with no risk of rubbing on my face/makeup/skincare. When I arrived for my second visit, they were stating that the dress was ready to take home before I even had it on. This seems to be a familiar theme in some of the other poor reviews. When I put the dress on and had concerns, they attempted to tell me multiple times that the dress is fine and there is nothing to do about it aside from use fashion tape. When you spend $1200 on alterations and your dress is gaping to the point where you can see your nipples, that’s not an appropriate answer. I had to push several times for a suitable resolution. This resolution was sewn in approximately 5 minutes and they sent me home with the dress in hand without having me try it on again after making adjustments. When I got home and inspected the dress, another issue had arisen, the bra inserts were clearly lopsided and this showed even on a photo that Michelle took of me in the dress in the studio…. Something that her team missed. One of the bra pads was also visible from the top of the dress. I expressed my concerns to the team and their resolution was refunding me only $200. I had my dress fixed elsewhere, which cost an additional hundreds of dollars that I could have avoided in just doing better research and reading reviews. On the day of the wedding, the single point bustle that they created came undone during the reception a handful of times and was poorly secured, leading to my dress getting trampled and destroyed on the dance floor. In summary, my experience seemed careless, rushed, and overpriced. Their attempt at making things right was also defensive and not helpful from a financial perspective. Wedding planning can be incredibly stressful, sadly this experience contributed to that stress tenfold.

d and I felt like I was swimming in it. It was strapless so had a ton of anxiety about it staying up. Diane and Michelle worked wonders on my dress, hemming it and reconstructing the bodice to ensure it fit me like a glove. They were super kind, complimentary, listened to my concerns, and answered my questions. The process was seamless -- my dress needed lots of alterations and I had three appointments total (that includes the pickup appointment). For the amount of work they did, I felt it was fairly priced. No, it wasn't cheap -- but you get what you pay for and they did a wonderful job!

weeks before leaving for my wedding) and they were super responsive and fit me in very last minute. Not only did they do a perfect job on the alterations requested, they also suggested a few alterations that made the dress easier to wear on the day of. They are really friendly, sweet, and happy to share tips and tricks they've learned in years of doing this. I can't recommend them enough - they saved my wedding!

approach throughout. When I needed advice about how to travel with my dress, they were responsive and ready to help. I really cannot recommend them enough!

make my wedding wings (in lieu of a cape or viel) a reality. They were extremely helpful, communicative, and professional!

ts of layers, and lots of beading and all the glitter.) I went in for a consultation appointment and was walked through every alteration they'd make, along with an estimate of what it would cost, and their timeline, so I left with a very clear picture of what I'd be getting with them. The communication and recommendations for undergarments were invaluable resources and so appreciated. What really stunned us all was I only needed 2 appointments! One to take measurements and pin the dress, and one to try it on and take it home. They worked their magic and relieved so much anxiety I had about my dress, leaving me feeling confident and ready for my big day. I can't recommend them enough!

and I left with a beautifully fitted dress and a clear idea of how to prep for the day-of. Definitely choose Befitted if you are looking for not only gorgeous and flawless alterations, but if you want a relaxing time and need some tips!

eyond amazing once these two were finished with it. I was worried when I brought in the gown because I knew the amount of work it would require; in between all of the delicate lace and beading, the extensive train, and the major hemming required (due to my height), I knew it would be a large project. This was the best duo to work with and you could not be in better hands!! I will definitely be recommending them to all of my friends getting married in the future!

nd love into my gown and experience. Everything from the fittings to the bustling instructions (so easy!) to the post-bridal portraits cleaning and post-wedding cleaning/preservation were amazing and seamless (such timely communication and outstanding professionalism and kindness). I absolutely loved my dress and had the time of my life at our wedding - my groom loved it too :) Photo: Camera Shi Photography (@camera_shi)

ate. My dress came out perfectly and BeFitted did everything we discussed. I got so many compliments the whole night about how well my dress fit. The packaging of my dress and veil was also a very smooth process. 100% recommend!

ir game. I felt like I could really trust them as they tailor wedding gowns only. I will be recommending them to everyone I can! Their website is super clear and I felt like I knew what to expect. After a crazy experience dress shopping with my friends and family, I am glad I came solo to these dress appointments and that was the way to go - they helped me take pictures and get an idea of fit. Also got pictures of the bustle

gh, but they made sure that I received specific instructions in the handling and care of my dress which was so helpful. I was immediately confident that they would be able to alter the dress to my exact fit. Dianne and Michelle are a power team and were a huge reason of why I felt so beautiful on my big day!

t to a fun tea length! The fantastic mother daughter duo were nothing but professional, punctual, kind, and went above and beyond to make sure my wedding went off without a hitch. (By above and beyond, I do mean giving me an in-depth demo of how to apply my boob tape 😂). Highly recommend!

--you'll feel like a star. My dress was a very delicate material and only one layer and yet they still managed to make me a bustle that was hardly noticeable! To top it all off, their shop is so cozy, clean, and beautiful. Will be recommending their services to all my friends!

lle for teaching me just how to use body tape - truly a full-service experience!

g day look and made my dress fit like a glove and the perfect length. It was always a pleasure to work with them!

that needed hemming, the straps taken up and some adjustment of the neckline and they did an AMAZING job. When I put my dress on at the final fitting I was in tears more than when I picked the dress out. Great alterations make all of the difference! They were so kind and professional every step of the way and gave many helpful tips including the best undergarments for my particular dress and instructions on how to bustle. I was nervous about entrusting someone to alter my dress but with them you can be sure you and your dress will be well taken care of.

compared to the store I got my dress from. I am super thankful I found BeFitted, they very intentional about supporting me throughout the wedding process.

s, a little to go kit and other helpful advice.

very complicated wedding gown came out PERFECT. I did their pressing service which made the actual day a piece of cake. Appreciated the bustle notes and packing tips as well. They also did an amazing job with cleaning after (I def spilled food all over my train, yikes) and it came back flawless with the boxing and preservation. I'm so glad I found them!

ou feel so confident and excited to wear your dress, and they are so communicative and helpful throughout the whole process. I had quite a tall order for these ladies as I lost nearly 40lbs between buying the dress and the wedding, and they did a wonderful job not only adjusting the dress down two sizes perfectly, but making sure I felt comfortable wearing what was still a rather unforgiving dress and working with me to ensure I was showing off what I wanted to (without any wardrobe malfunctions!) and not worrying about anything I did not. I ended up losing a few more pounds in the last week or so (busy time!), and they did an extra adjustment on the house with super quick turnaround. They also sourced and added fabric-covered buttons for me when the ones from the dress designer (Alexandra Grecco) did not quite work out. I felt so gorgeous in this dress, and it's because of the work Michelle and Diane did. Good tailoring is not a cheap service (make sure you budget for it in your dress budget! About $950), but it is so worth it.

Thanksgiving was in the middle of all of this, but Michelle and Diane made it happen with time to spare! I really appreciated how stress-free they made the alterations and fitting process.

the final alterations and poor customer service. The outcome of my alterations was so bad I felt I couldn't walk down the aisle in it as it was, and I had to take it to another tailor, Green & Blue Tailoring in DC, 2 weeks before my wedding (luckily they were able to fix it!) My customer service experience was awful. I never expected to sob uncontrollably at my final fitting because the final alterations were so bad. I also never expected to essentially be told it was my fault because of the dress I chose, then rushed out the door while I was still sobbing, without any offer to fix the errors in their work. I wish I had taken/kept photos, but didn't think of it at the time. Errors in the alterations work, which were all fixed by Green & Blue and therefore clearly due to low-quality work: - The hem flipped up on both sides - Michelle said it was just caught on the carpeting, but it wasn't. - The straps were shortened more than the pinning in my second fitting, so that the waistline was too high and unflattering - The sides gaped near the bust - Michelle said it was due to the style of dress and that I'd have to use dress tape. I didn't need any on my wedding day after Green & Blue tailored it correctly. - Green & Blue was also able to fix other little things about the dress that Michelle had told me they couldn't fix, like a bump in the lace lining under the skirt and the material on the zipper. Customer service experience: I was SOBBING when I saw myself in my gown at my pick-up fitting. And I mean SOBBING. I couldn't stop. My mother told me later how shocked she was because she has never, in my life including in my childhood, seen me break down uncontrollably in public like that. I was crying even as I swiped my credit card. I was rushed through even though I was distraught, because another client was coming in (all appointments are max 20 minutes long, including changing in and out of your dress!). All Michelle offered was "you look gorgeous," "use boob tape," "this material was hard because it was not a new dress" (even though it was 100% silk with no embellishments and had not been used by a bride before...) and "it will all be better once the dress gets a good press" - no offer to try to fix any issues even when I emailed her about a couple such as the hem once I got the dress home. She also said "After everything you've been through with your wedding dresses, you must just want to get your wedding over with!" She said that because I had brought in a second "reception dress" then changed my mind about using it months earlier. The suggestion that it was "just me" being unhappy with my gown because I'd had a second dress change of heart months earlier was ridiculous, and the idea I'd "want my wedding over with" was hurtful. Their terms and conditions you sign at your first appointment state that once you pick up the dress and take it off their premises, it's officially not their problem - so clearly she was trying to get me out the door with the dress so they wouldn't have to do any more work on it. I wrote Michelle letting her know what the content of my review would be. I was hoping she might offer a partial refund since I had to pay a second tailor to fix their work, but was disappointed with her defensive response.

dding gown alterations laid out for me well in-advance. This helped me plan the last few months of my wedding and budget! I must highlight their overall positivity and skillset. I came in feeling some regret over my choice of dress because it had so many layers and seemed wildly impractical. But they were positive and assured me they would make me love it again! And that they did. They spun their wands - removing a layer of tulle, shortening the hem, fitting the beaded bodice, and adding a bustle - taking my enormous ballgown and making it fit like a glove! I also want to add that I went across the country with this gown and they did an excellent job giving me recommendations and tips for traveling! If I was doing this all over again, I'd head to BeFitted with absolutely no hesitation. You can trust Diane and Michelle to approach your dress alterations in an organized and optimistic manner!

dress up a size, alter 10 layers of underskirt, and add a bustle, but they did so with kindness, precision, and professionalism. Most importantly, they helped me feel beautiful and confident on my day, and took extra steps to help prepare my dress for my destination wedding. I highly recommend them!

for my hips. They not only did this expertly with very tricky fabric, but also added a subtle yet easy bustle and inserted bra pads in a way that were very discreet and comfortable. I would absolutely hire them again in a heartbeat!

ith. I had three dress fitting appointments for my wedding separates in which they added a bustle and cups, and adjusted length and size. They VERY kindly did rush alterations for me in the week before my wedding when I needed last-minute adjustments. I am SO grateful for their help and kindness which kept me feeling secure, beautiful, and confident to dance all night long on my wedding day! Thank you both for your beautiful and skilled craftmanship!

made it so easy to dance in. It also fit like an absolute glove on top and looked incredible! They were also just lovely people to talk to and made this stressful process enjoyable! Would highly recommend.

ions they needed to do! I highly highly recommend them.

ess and attention to detail and was overall the best best best wedding dress fairy godmother!

t they did an incredible job! They were also great to work with and on top of scheduling, communication, and tips and tricks for getting the best out of my dress. I would highly recommend BeFitted for other brides.

ad I did. The dress was perfect and they went above and beyond to make sure I was heard and that my dress not only looked flawless but also felt comfortable and good for me to wear all night (I spent this much on a dress, I was insistent on being able to wear it all night long without changing!). Their instructions were very clear, they took COVID seriously, and their helpful tips and underwear advise was so clutch since it's hard to know what to buy. I am so happy with the way my dress came out and that I got to support a local business in the process. I'm telling all of my friends to come here in the future and would do it again just for fun and an excuse to see these ladies!

d-beading throughout, and it required a lot of skill to alter it to fit me just right. That's where Diane and Michelle came in! I am grateful that Diane and Michelle were up to the challenge of tailoring my dress. Not only are they beautiful (both inside and out) and will make you feel incredibly welcome and cared for while you're in their hands, but Diane and Michelle have exceptional technique, knowledge, and skill. Before any cut was ever made, they always clearly communicated what their alteration plans were and how they planned to execute them. Diane and Michelle also did an amazing job making you feel supported by answering all of your questions, working within your schedule for appointments, giving you an emergency kit for the big day in case something happened (it didn't!), and providing you with a diagram to show your bridal party how to bustle your dress. I also sincerely appreciated all of the safety measures that Diane and Michelle enacted due to COVID and their detailed emails explaining how to keep everyone safe while at your appointments. Thanks to Diane and Michelle, my dress was altered to perfection. I couldn't have imagined it fitting me any better, or having a better experience while getting my dress tailored. Thank you, Diane and Michelle, for taking me and my dress into your capable hands. I cannot thank you enough.

privacy and they take their time with ensuring a good fit. I eloped during the COVID pandemic, so I couldn't take anyone else in with me (which is fine, it's a dress fitting). They were also very vigilant about safety and cleanliness protocols. They take a genuine interest in your big day and will help get you the right fit, they also tailored a bridesmaids dress of mine for a wedding I was in. Book them early as it does take a few weeks to get your dress back once they make alterations, but they're very good about knowing when your dates are and will follow up with you during and after your wedding. Would absolutely go to them again.

le in my dress. I highly recommend Diane and Michelle!

I wanted to be sure that it would look like I had imagined. Michelle and Diane were incredibly welcoming and communicative, and let me know from the start what would be possible and what wouldn't, and what some alternatives could be to what I was asking for. They came through with a perfectly fitted dress that looked exactly as I had envisioned it - it fits perfectly to my body and complements the height of my shoes. Michelle even helped me figure out how to correctly apply boob tape (which they carry in store!) and sent me off with printed instructions on how to travel with my dress on a plane. BeFitted is almost certainly pricier than your neighborhood tailor, but if you want to be absolutely positive that your wedding dress looks perfect on your big day, you shouldn't go anywhere else. Thank you Michelle and Diane!

bout my wedding day and take care of my dress, and of course, made sure everything fit perfectly. My dress was completely transformed. I'm a believer in alterations now!! Appointments can be hard to get sometimes so I'd just recommend people book ahead of time. Also don't be like me and forget to bring your shoes - they will ask you to do that!

open or how long it was going to take to make alterations. I was rushed during the appointment because they had overbooked clients and had multiple brides in the salon at the same time. I barely had time to put the dress on before I was rushed to give you my credit card. The time spent analyzing the dress was not sufficient and the seamstress was moving too fast and was not listening to what I wanted to do with the dress. I was told that the things that I wanted were included in the quote and they were not. Making the price I ended up paying for the alterations even more insanely high. I ended up taking my gown to another seamstress, she took impeccable care of the dress and charged half the price. She said that the BeFitted Tailoring team did a terrible job taking care of the dress, there were snags in the dress from pins and needles, the cuts in the gown were sloppy and not consistent, the seams in the dress were done over the boning and not properly completed. You can see where the seamstress sewed the bra cups into the dress through the front of the dress because the job was done too quickly. There was puckering happening with the fabric because the fabric was not matched up properly when they sewed the dress back together. I brought up multiple concerns during my fitting and I was told that they would be addressed at my final fitting before the wedding or that they were not issues. Which I now know were lies and ways to just rush me out of the shop. They refused to listen to my requests to fix the dress and were reckless with my designer gown. I would never recommend another bride take her dress here, you will regret it.

nd I've never felt more beautiful. I would highly recommend!

in so that it would actually fit my torso. They had some very helpful recommendations including how to travel with the dress to San Diego, how to choose the best undergarments, and how to make use of double sided tape. I am so grateful that the dress still fit over a year and a half later when I actually got married (after multiple COVID postponements). Thank you Michelle and Diane!
