Bridal Couture Alterations by Sofia

Sofia was so helpful to both of my daughters one was the bride and one was the maid of honor. Sofia is very personable and does excellent work. She is willing to work with your schedule. She is very accomodaring but also a pleasure to work with. This is one lady that knows her worth. You will not regret her helping you.

I highly recommend Sofia! She is a true professional and artist. She has a lot of experience and many helpful ideas. My dress fit me like a glove on my wedding day– perfect! Sofia also recommended a dry cleaning company and my dress was delivered on the wedding day in perfect condition. I could not be happier. You will not regret working with Sofia, she’s the best!

All I can say is THANK YOU Sofia!
This wedding dress was a nightmare. I ended dup receiving the wrong dress twice from the bridal boutique. I finally got a dress, but it was too big.
Sofia was amazing! We ended up being on an extremely tight time frame. Two weeks until the wedding and the dress needed to be brought in and the chest needed remodeling. She was really patient and fit me in.
I honestly was at the point of not using my dress and going out and buying the first thing I saw at the mall.
Every time I went in, Sofia brought me more at ease.
The end product was BEAUTIFUL.
I could have not had a better person work on this dress.
Thank you so much Sofia. You have no idea how much I appreciate you and your work!

Sofia is absolutely amazing! I cannot recommend her highly enough.
I had a horrific experience with purchasing my dress at a shop down in San Diego and I was not about to give them my business for alterations. After a quick Unilocal search, I found Sofia. She was quick to respond and was able to fit me in shortly after I reached out to her. I was strapped for time with just under 4 weeks to get all my alterations completed and I had a lot that needed to be done. I took my dress to Sofia and she said she could have it done in time. Within a few days I had my first alteration. She is such a visionary and is so passionate! She listened as I explained this crazy vision I had in my head and brought it to life!
I have been so happy with Sofia and her work throughout our interactions. I am so looking forward to picking up my dress and seeing her magic come to life on my big day!
If you’re looking for an amazing seamstress at a great price, you will not be disappointed with Sofia!

Sophia is amazing!!! I have been going to her for the past 2 years and her work always has me amazed. I started going when I needed a white and gold laced dress altered for the military ball. She added padding to fit my cup size, tightened the straps, and made the dress a little shorter. You can easily tell she loves what she does and for sure is a perfectionist! She will never leave you unsatisfied, trust her with your dress! :)

Sofia is an alteration magician! I purchased my dress for my wedding from Free People and it had only a half liner that made it look cheap! Sofia extended the liner to the full length of the dress and transformed it into something beautiful and elegant! I can’t thank her enough for making me feel beautiful and confident on my big day! She was quick and half the price of the other places I looked at!

I loved working with Sophia! So happy I found her. She made making my already beautiful dress more beautiful easy! She is so tale talented and professional. Trust her with your dress she is great

Sofia did a fantastic job altering my dress. She took in the bust, added cups, took in the sides, added a bustle, and smoothed out some weird puckering in the pleats, all in 2.5 weeks (my wedding’s still a month away, so we had lots of time!). Her prices were far more reasonable than what I was quoted at the store I purchased the dress from. She works out of her home, where her lovely living room doubles as a bridal salon. She is very sweet and accommodating, I’d definitely recommend her to anyone in north county looking for reliable bridal alterations.

Sofia is amazing and she helped me in a hurry! I’ll be calling her again for all my alterations! She’s beautiful and wonderful at her work.

Sofia is incredible!!! I came to her with my wedding gown and she completely reconstructed it!!! Her work is intricate and she is an absolute perfectionist when it comes to her work! On top of her amazing work she is so sweet and welcoming and really makes you feel comfortable in her home.
I cannot recommend her highly enough, my dress turned out exactly the way I wanted it and it fit like a glove!

So glad we found
! She is so passionate and skilled. She really wants your dress to look, fit and feel the best that it can on you. Highly recommended. Fabulous customer service and very competitive prices, especially for the quality work you will receive.
She is a hidden gem in a convenient location in Oceanside!

I tried to hem my dress two days before an event and found Sofia by reviews on Unilocal.I have read over 16 reviews that were 5 stars which was more than any seamstress reviews I have seen. When I called her she was so nice and worked with my schedule. Within two hours the same day I gave it to her she called me and said it was ready. She was so nice and understood my situation. She even had me try it on again before she finished to make sure it was the right length. I would recommend her to all my friends and family.

Sofia is amazing! We were looking for a fair priced place to get our alterations and when everything seemed to be out of our price range, we were referred to Sofia. She is so sweet and lovely all the time. I told her exactly what I wanted, and I felt like I immediately trusted her with whatever she needed to do. There were some things that I wanted specifically that Sofia worked with and did it perfectly. She also went above and beyond when I told her I wanted to lose more weight before the wedding, she gave me a book to read and some amazing workout tips! She was willing to fix my dress as much as I needed as I lost my weight. I loved going to visit her because we could make as many appointments necessary until the dress was perfect in time for the wedding. I got to see my dress often and evolve into what it became. It turned out amazing! I loved it so much! I highly recommend Sofia!

Sofia is one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. I had the most wonderful experience with her! I planned my wedding within a couple of months and was super stressed. I emailed Sofia to see if she could alter my wedding dress with the little time that I had. She called me back right away and I was able to make an appt. She is super flexible with her scheduling. She also altered 2 of my bridesmaid’s dresses. The dresses turned out perfectly! I am truly amazed by her skill. I recommend her to everyone! :)

I can not say enough great things about Sofia. She was so kind and really great at what she does.
After speaking to her I changed my mind slightly about the alteration I wanted to my dress and I’m so please I took her advice and listened to her. It looks better than I imagined.
Also she altered my Mom’s dress for our wedding which is also perfect.
Would not hesitate to recommend her. Thank You Sofia :-)

Where do I begin? I’m a plus sized bride and was stressed about the whole wedding dress process. After ordering my wedding dress online not many seamstresses even wanted to deal with me. With only a few weeks before my wedding I contacted Sofia. She responded to my email right away and I was able to set up an appointment as soon as my schedule allowed. I didn’t really know what needed to be done with my dress but I knew it needed help. Thankfully Sofia has a sharp eye for detail and flattering my figure. She suggested we take it in in the sides and shorten it. The bottom of my dress is very full and that is my favorite part so I was worried about losing some of the drama of it. Instead of removing length, she instead brought it up at the seam which somehow managed to make me look taller, and my tummy smaller!!! She was also able to put boning into the sides to help support the girls and avoid back fat. I am so so pleased with her work. She is a true professional, very kind, accommodating, and never once made me stress. I plan on recommending her to everyone I know!

I am very pleased with the work Sofia did for our family. She is very kind and knows her work. I recommend all to hire her for your big day!!!

I can’t recommend Sophia highly enough. My dress required major alterations and she took it on very calmly. Her schedule is flexible and she was very responsive to my every concern. My wedding dress ended up fitting perfect and I will be forever grateful for her kindness and expertise!

Sofia did an amazing job on my wedding dress. I contacted her on a very short notice, weeks before my wedding and she agreed to squeeze me in for an appointment. My wedding dress required a lot of alteration and very detailed and intricate work. Sofia was very patient with me and listened to all my ideas, then she gave me her suggestions. My wedding dress came out better than I could have imagined it. I later asked for Sofia’s advice to alter my mom’s dress for the wedding. On the 3^rd occasion I asked Sofia for help, it was for an evening gown for the Marine Birthday Ball. The dress needed a lot of work again and Sofia was as friendly and approachable as always. She is very knowledgeable and has a great ability for attention to detail. I would confidently recommend Sofia for any alteration.

Sophia is an incredible seamstress. She made some big alterations to my dress and made it so beautiful. She is honest, affordable and most of all, talented. She is very precise and strives for perfection. She had to reconstruct the bodice part or my dress because the manufacturer did a poor job at it and she made it much more comfortable and i wasn’t tugging to keep it up all night. She does beautiful work and was less than half of the price of a seamstress at any bridal store. I highly recommend her to any bride!
