Keepsake Bridal Alterations

Sylvia was fantastic! Her prices are very reasonable and she was able to fit my wedding dress alteration in a very tight schedule. I would highly recommend Keepsake Bridal.

I purchased my dress from Alfred Angelo and Sylvia was assigned to do my alterations. I visited them in their Rancho Cordova location since it saved me a lot of drive time in lieu of going all the way to Alfred Angelo in Roseville. It’s in a business park so it takes a little time to find their small sign, the location is just a bit of office space, nothing like a showroom or boutique, just a functional but private room with carpet and mirrors. After my first fitting the dress needed to be taken in quite a bit, and at my second fitting we made adjustments to the style since I wanted to add off the shoulder sleeves. They showed me how the bustle would look once it was tucked up for dancing, and I told them honestly I wasn’t crazy about it. To me, once it was bustled it looked sloppy and took away from the overall symmetry of the dress. Sylvia worked with her assistant who suggested a more complicated style of bustle. They pinned everything up differently and I loved the way it looked! Sylvia mentioned there would be some additional charges for the work, but it only amounted to $ 40. I was very pleased and the dress really was what I envisioned and I got tons of compliments on it. If you are in search of a capable seamstress I think you can trust Sylvia.

Sylvia is wonderful. She knows EXACTLY what she’s doing… She made my experience totally painless… I was so concerned that I would have to come back several times to get the alterations like I wanted, but she was able to do it in one fitting… Her prices are more that reasonable… She’s also a sweetheart… Thanks Sylvia. :)

Silvia is awesome! She can sew! She completely transformed my sister’s wedding dress, and it couldn’t have looked better. It was so amazing. She took her dress and made it exactly how my sister wanted it! She also altered my dress and it was fantastic! She can also sew in boob cups, that make your boobs look awesome! She’s great! Please disregard the last negative comment, this woman is awesome! I’ve seen what she can do and it’s astonishing!

I was referred to Keepsake Bridal Alterations by the place I purchased my dress, Enchanted Bridal Shoppe. I will not go into detail, but my overall experience was poor. Yes, she’s been in business for several years, but I felt because of that, she thought she knew what she was doing and never listened to my concerns and would say things like «I can’t do that» because of the way my dress was made. I’ve never had alterations of such a huge dress done before so I don’t know if this is normal. By the second and third fitting, I was very nervous and was ready to bring my dress elsewhere or even purchase a new dress, but so much had been done on my dress already and my wedding date was so close. When everything was «done» and paid for, I thought it was just the stress of the wedding and it probably wasn’t that bad but now looking back at the wedding photos, my dress could have fitted and looked a lot better.
I know Enchanted Bridal Shoppe is a huge store and recommends this place, but I would tell you to go elsewhere as one experienced bride.
A few thoughts: #1 I recently moved to the area and did not have any friends or family come along for the fittings so having someone there may have made a difference. #2 As I was waiting for my second fitting, there was another bride there for her final fitting. She expressed to me about the many times she had to return to make the dress correct and her wedding was just two days away! (So, I can’t be the only one who feels this way.)
