K’s Custom Gowns & Alterations

Katerina did an amazing job with my wedding dress! I am very petite, and my dress was long, fitted, lace overlay with satin underneath. I had had alterations done before, but the bustle was not off of the ground enough to not step on it and the bodice did not fit correctly. I took it to Katerina, with less than a month before my wedding, and she fixed everything! She even offered to do little things to make it fit even better and to stay in place during the wedding that the «professional» at the Vidal store did not. She is amazing, fast and reasonably priced!!!

I’ve brought two dresses to Kateryna in the past year. One is a vintage pleated dress that needed the lining replaced, the other a vintage sheath dress that I wanted to alter into a sleeveless dress. The workmanship on both dresses was superb. K’s attention to detail, coupled with her training and knowledge of fabrics and sewing techniques is top notch. Highly recommended for clothing you care about.

Not a great experience when I went — I wanted to get an estimate for a dress that needed to be altered, and it was complicated to explain what needed to be done. She wouldn’t let me go try on so I could show her… Instead she told me it would be around $ 100 total. Took it somewhere else, they had me try it on and told me $ 15.

I had a dress taken in on the bodice, and Kateryna did a wonderful job. She was very fast and accommodating with my schedule. It only took 10 days to call, set up an appointment, drop off dress, and pick it up. I think that is outstanding service! No long wait times, and her pricing is very, very reasonable.

Kateryna is super friendly and really good at what she does. I have had friends come here and just got a long gown altered!
She accepts cash or check only.

Absolutely amazing seamstress! Kateryna saved my wedding dress from the disastrous mistakes a ‘top NYC tailor’ made.
I had lost hope and thought my dress was unsalvageable. The previous tailor said there was nothing I could do in regards to the completely oversized bodice since the pattern was so intricate and there was so much lace involved.
A week and half before my wedding, I decided to give Kateryna a chance after reading the other good reviews, and will never regret it!!! She absolutely blows the ‘high end NYC tailors’ away! She was able to completely redo the bodice of my dress AND add other features that the other tailor refused to do! It was honestly an absolute miracle on how good the dress came out to be.
Kateryna is a complete professional and saved my dress AND day from ruin! Knowing that my wedding day was so close, I know she had to work fast but I could tell she did not let a single detail slip by.
I highly recommend taking your dress here. Kateryna is a miracle worker!

I had a 100% silk gown by Cynthia Steffe that I wanted let out. The seamstress here is absolutely amazing. Her attention to detail was like none other. She found the perfect material that would blend in with the silk. However, it also allowed for a little bit of stretch, which is just what I asked for. She understood exactly what I wanted and delivered. I would definitely recommend this place, especially for gowns or cocktail dresses.

I had a bad experience here when I went to get my dress tailored. I had an appointment, but when I arrived they were very rude to me. Without saying hello or asking who I was she just said «do you want an estimation first?» When I said an estimation would be good, she aggressively opened the bag the dress was in and started telling me how much it would cost to do sides, back, etc. I asked if I could try the dress on, and she basically said that she didn’t have the time unless I was sure I’d pay whatever they asked. Their prices actually sounded reasonable, and I’d be fine with it if they have a policy where you have to pay something to try the dress on first, but she was so pushy and unfriendly that I left.

Very talented seamstress, the owner whom does the alterations is incredibly talented in embroidery type projects as well as exquisite tailor alterations at a very reasonable cost. Highly reccomended!
