Jessica’s Bridal Center

I happened upon Jessica’s after a day of shopping as I was walking by and saw a sign that said alterations. I entered the shop with some scepticism as it’s clear they specialize in bridal work. I was quickly greeted by smiling Jessica and assured right away that they could hem my pants. She very efficiently got me into a fitting room to start measuring and marking the 6 pair of new dress pants I had. It was clear to me right away that she’s a pro! Within a few days, I got a call and picked up my expertly altered pants. They were perfect and the price was very reasonable. I’ve been back since and now consider this place «my tailor»!

Well, my significant other found this place to have some Vietnamese dresses as well as traditional wedding dresses. She had to make reservations ahead of time since the shop was not open during it’s hours listed on the door. The lady owner was nice enough to meet us on Sunday. She let my fiancé try on multiple traditional wedding dresses and Vietnamese dresses as well. The place was cold so she had a space heater turned on for us. Plus, there was a restroom inside since it took a while. Overall a good experience for my bride-​to-​be so she had some ideas from that trip. Plus, the lady owner was very agreeable to give a discount for lumping the traditional and Vietnamese dress purchase together.

For about four years straight, you would find me almost every weekend gettin’ down at a club. Whether it was bachata, new jack swing, or breakin’, back then I could dance any style all night! Unfortunately, my dance outings plus my big booty and thighs caused countless jeans, khakis, and dress pants to rip around the inner-​left thigh. (Is this too much information?) Sometimes I would rip my pants at the club, and it was always super embarrassing.
Now, most folks know that finding a pair of decent looking and comfortable fitting pants can be as laborious as making fresh pasta noodles, handstand pushups without a wall, or starting your car in –43 degree weather. (This weather has been brutal.) Thus, tailors seem to be a wonderful alternative to perusing through online catalogs or racks of pants at stores. Let alone, it’s the most wallet friendly alternative.
I’ve always thought that Jessica’s Bridal Store was just… a bridal store. And, yo, how could you not? That’s what it says on the store’s front and there’s mannequins with tuxedos and dresses! However, I decided to visit this family owned business one day because my boo said that they did a great job tailoring some of her coats, dresses, and shirts.
I brought a couple pair of pants with major rips in, and a staff member estimated that it would only cost about $ 25 or so to repair and about three days to finish. These holes were as big as the end of a Kleenex box, so I thought the price was fair. Also, I only had to wait three days! That’s pretty fast for all the things they have to tailor.
I dropped them off and returned several days later to find my pants sewn back together without any problems. Since my first visit many years ago, I still visit Jessica’s Bridal Store for all my tailoring needs and I usually leave satisfied.
The only suggestion I have is this: I never know how much I have to pay and the price seems to vary slightly each time. It would help if she listed her prices on the wall, but I don’t want to sound like I’m complaining too much because the prices are very generous.
If you need to get some tailoring done and live in the neighborhood, check out Jessica’s Bridal Store.
