What People Say About Elegant Brides Alterations


Kati W.
I had an amazing experience here when buying my wedding dress. They were so kind and I was so comfortable when looking for the perfect dress. The lady who altered my dress was there for the whole process and she was amazing!! I even got my dress on sale. Highly recommend going to Elegant Brides!

I couldn’t be happier with my experience!! Everyone made picking a dress and getting ready for my wedding so easy!! The seamstress is an absolute dream to work with and did amazing with my dress! I just can’t reccomend Elegant Brides enough!!!
Samantha A.
I had taken my dress for alterations to another shop in St. Louis and upon pick up, it was stained where they placed the bustle - they pretty much shooed me away, told me to take a bit of water to it, and wished me good luck (it was insane as it sounds). In a frantic panic, I started trying to figure out who could help me with the limited amount of time I had until the wedding, heard a lot of no’s from other local resources. Then KIM TO THE RESCUE! She told me to bring the dress on in and they all worked diligently for days until it was back in PERFECT condition! I could’ve cried. Everyone was beyond helpful, extremely friendly, funny - these are truly amazing people.
Taylor F.
I highly recommend Elegant Brides! The ladies are very sweet and helpful. I had my wedding dress altered and bustled. The seamstress did an amazing job and was so friendly!
