Melfy’s Bridal Alterations

Melfy is wonderful! Brought my wedding dress to her and I wanted to make a bunch of changes, she was very honest and told me she could do it but it wouldn’t be flattering or attractive. I appreciated her honesty and her pricing is completely fair. Complete profession, I highly recommend her.

Melfy’s work was ok but not as she promised. I told her my needs specifically and she promised me the dress after modifications will be what I want. But when I got the dress, it is not what I need. She said I will never get what I want with the dress because of the style of the dress. But if that’s the case, she would’ve told me when I first took the dress to her and I would never pay her to do the job. She insisted to charge me the same price we agreed upon, which I don’t think is fair.

Where do I begin? I found Melfy here on Unilocal and decided to giver her a try because of her reviews, location, and affordability. I have to say, I was a little skeptical at first. Melfy works out of her home, and I was more comfortable with the idea of going to a «legit» bridal shop for alterations. My skepticism went away right after my first meeting with Melfy. It was immediately apparent that Melfy knows what she is doing. In my case, I was particularly nervous because I am pregnant, and really didn’t know how big I would be on my wedding day. I should add that I had a Midgley & Soterro wedding dress that cost over $ 2000.
Long story short, I wound up changing my dress and needing different alterations than I originally expected. Melfy was completely professional and flexible with my needs. Melfy always picked up the phone and addressed my concerns. The bottom line is that my wedding dress came out flawless. Melfy is a professional all the way and she truly cares about the quality of her work. I had no idea how stressful it could be to leave your wedding dress in someone else’s hands and hope that they do a good job. If you leave your dress with Melfy it will be one less worry on your mind, you have enough to worry about planning the rest of your wedding!

Mrs Melfy knows what she is doing. Got a decent alteration price and work is excellent! Got my perfect dress… Very pleased with it! U will get half of other alterations place, most of alterations places gives you quote like crazy. This place is a reasonable place for you to go. Highly recommend her.

The most phenomenal tailor known to mankind. What a talented woman! I am so happy I found her — she has tons of years of experience, and is a true professional. Was able to accommodate crazy last minute appointments, and was able to accommodate tough alterations.
I brought my client to Melfy, and as a wedding planner it is very important for me to recommend top notch vendors that provide nothing but exceptional services. Melfy surpassed my expectations at every level. She also works with all kinds of budgets, and is located in Queens.

My wedding was a few days ago and I have to write the review right away because Melfy deserves nothing less. So I bought my Maggie Sottero gown from RK bridal in the city but I only had about a month to the wedding so they said they are booked and I would have to get my alternations done elsewhere. I found Melfy threw online search. I was stressed out because my dress was a bit complicated with all beading covering the entire dress. It was heavy and I was afraid I made the wrong decision on the dress. I called Melfy and she said come bring the dress. From the moment I walked in I felt relief. She is a professional and knows the bridal craft. She pinned the dress and said no problem I can move the zipper to accentuate your back curve and every thing is going to be fine. Well it was. She did an amazing job. Dress fit like a glove, she also put a custom bustle in the back for after the 1^st dance to make my life easier. She added the underskirt I had sawn onto the dress to make my life easier and it sure did. She steamed the wrinkles out prepped the dresses and veil. She was patient and her demeanor is professional and kind. She showed 2 of my girls how to bustle the dress. She is flexible with appointment times and made the process painless. Honestly God sent ! Price was very reasonable and service top notch. I’m attaching photos. Thank you Melfy you saved me !

Ms. Melfy is amazing! She altered my MOH dress which was super big on the top — and had lots of rouching and pleating. She also altered my daughter’s flower girl dress and made it sit more properly across her shoulders.
Ms. Melfy then assisted in CORRECTING a TERRIBLE job that was done to the Mother of the bride’s dress by a well known «bridal tailor» in Manhattan. She did this as a last minute /​rush job and it came out PERFECT!
We were all so happy with Ms. Melfy’s service, her talent and her very caring personality. She is a true gem.
Also — her pricing is extremely reasonable for the care she takes and the fine work she does!

Melfy is an incredibly talented and equally as kind woman. If I could give her 10 stars I would! I thought my wedding dress was beautiful before the alterations but after, WOW! I had no idea that a dress could fit that way! My dress fit more than perfectly on the day of and the bustle was the best I have ever seen. With the nature of my dress I was super concerned that the bustle would ruin the lines and overall look but her creativity and talent made it a seamless transition.
So grateful to have found her and wish her nothing but success and happiness!

Melfy was a God send! I needed my daughter’s dress altered for prom & I only had a week! I did not want just anyone to touch the dress because it was lace! I called her Sunday night at 9pm & to my surprise she picked up! That’s dedication! I was practically in tears but her voice & words immediately made me feel relaxed! She told me normally she would not do it in such short notice but was willing to help me! When I picked up the dress it was perfect! Melfy was as beautiful & sweet as her work! I would highly recommend her! She will not disappoint you!

Melfy is incredibly talented! She saved my wedding dress! I changed my wedding date to early March and discovered that my dress was not due to arrive until Mid January. I recently moved to NY from MA and when my dress finally arrived it was almost February! I looked up Melfy on Unilocal,read the reviews, and gave her a call. Melfy is truly an amazing seamstress. Melfy understood my worry and anxiety and agreed to work with me even with the short timeframe. Not only did she help calm my nerves but she was so warm and easy to work with. She gladly took on the project and made my dress fit perfectly! I needed a lot of work done since the dress was big on me and she did a phenomenal job! I highly recommend Melfy for your wedding dress alterations. She is extremely professional, skilled, pleasant and will not disappoint!

Melfy is the most amazing seamstress! She is the hidden gem on Queens boulevard.
She knows alterations and dresses more than anyone and makes you feel so comfortable when you are anxious before your wedding.
