La Robe by Leah

I highly recommend La Robe by Leah for any alterations. I had a bridesmaid dress altered into a maternity-​style gown for my sister’s wedding. The dress looked gorgeous, fit perfectly and Leah completed the alterations in a matter of days! My sister was very happy and I was as well. Everything came together beautifully!

Great work. very busy ladies. wish they would leave a message when they need to tell you that your alterations are done. Can’t just call and not leave a message and then tell you that they called??? Other than lack of communication, I would recommend to others.

Did a great job on altering my bridal dress. Other than the lack of communication everything else was great. I would recommend everyone to go here.

Very nice alteration place. I needed alterations done for two pairs of jeans. I had both pairs done within 30 minutes or so, very professionally and fast. Very friendly and courteous. Recommend them for any alterations needs.

Leah is a miracle worker! I’ve used her many times to alter bridesmaid dresses. Whether the dress has been too big or too small, she’s been able to work her magic and make me look beautiful for the event. Leah also understands what needs to go under a gown to make it look even better and will add cups or suggest undergarments when necessary. Since she is a dressmaker, she really understands how the garment needs to fit a woman’s body. She will have you in for multiple fittings when needed to make sure the dress is perfect and always gives it a final steam as you pick it up. Her prices are more than fair for the beautiful work she does and her service is always quick.
Her tailoring and service have always been so excellent that I plan to order the bridesmaid dresses for my wedding from her store.

Ehh, came in to get the top cover of my wedding dress taken in a bit and to put some buttons on the bottom to hold my train for the reception. Buttons were great, the top cover was removable Leah just needed to move the buttons a little so it would fit snug. Well, I guess she didn’t sew them on right because they definitely popped off as we were taking pictures. Had to remove the cover sooner than planned because it was dangling on one side. For what I paid, I could’ve done it myself. And it would’ve lasted all night.

I went to Leah with a formal dress dress I believed to need minor alterations in the back and shoulder area. Leah quickly assessed the problem, provided me with the correct foundational under garments (a long line bra), steamed the dress then sent me on my way. Thank You Leah!

My grandma was a quality assurance supervisor at David’s Bridal for years. There wasn’t a dress I wore that she couldn’t take in/​alter for me. Unfortunately, she broke her wrist in May and I had a bridesmaid dress for a wedding (yesterday)that was about 2 – 3 sizes too big on me.
I came on Unilocal to try and find a well reviewed seamstress that I’d hope would do something close to my grandma’s work. I found Leah and went to her — I felt so comfortable and trusted her right away. Her price was reasonable (way lower than I thought) and she did the job in just over a week or so. When I went in for my 2^nd fitting I was blown away. The dress fit perfectly. She did an amazing job. I recommend Leah for any dress alteration needs and look forward to keeping her as my 2^nd go-​to seamstress (assuming Grandma gets her wrist mobility back) ;)!

I am posting this review 2 years late because I didn’t know she was on Unilocal.I got my wedding dress altered from here April 2013. She did wonderful job exactly the way I wanted and price was decent as compare to David bridals from where I purchased my wedding dress. My Maid of honor also got her dress fitting from here and we all were happy. This month I am taking my close friend to get her dress alterations done, as I had wonderful experience and want my friend have the same experience with her wedding dress.

Leah was so incredibly nice and patient! My bridesmaids, and flower girl are getting their dresses from her, include alternations. Really glad I found this place. By the way, don’t let the picture below fool you, the place is a lot nicer.

My son needed a tuxedo for his senior prom. My husband had a very nice double breasted tuxedo which he’ll NEVER fit into again. We took it to Leah and she did an AMAZING job with the tuxedo. Altered pants and jacket, and my very picky son now has a tuxedo for life. I’ve used Leah numerous times over the past 10 years and she’s an excellent seamstress, highly recommended.

Leah really knows her stuff! I was so nervous to get my wedding gown altered, but after a few minutes of watching her expertly move around me, knowing exactly where to set pins and advise on what alterations will be most flattering, I knew my gown was in good hands! She doesn’t cut corners and does her alterations with care and precision. She really cares that your dress fits you perfectly and that you feel good and comfortable. I am so impressed!
I am going to look and feel absolutely amazing on my wedding day, thanks to Leah! I cannot wait to wear my gown next week!
I’m so pleased with her work, that she’s also going to make a gown for me to wear to a wedding in December!

My mom and I found La Robe by Leah by accident. I just started looking at wedding dresses online, so for our first trying-​on session we had an appointment at another bridal shop. Before we left we saw it only had 1 star on Unilocal — no thanks — so we did a quick search and saw Leah had the highest rating in the area. We went over there without an appointment, thinking that we might just get to look around if nothing else. Leah was awesome! She was so helpful and very willing to help to guide us through what we might be interested in. I tried on 5 dresses and she explained the alterations that could be done. She does alterations, men’s clothes, children’s clothes, jewelry, accessories, even invitations! We didn’t walk out with a dress, because we really were just getting a feel for what I was interested in, but we did get a lot of knowledge and I can’t want to go back and work more closely with her!

Leah did my gown fitting for my wedding a few years ago-​I should have posted sooner! Beyond just doing the fitting she completely remade the top of the gown from a halter top to a two-​strap design. I was so happy with her work, her level of professionalism, her rates, and her ability to perfectly predict how much to take on my dress based on my ongoing pre-​wedding slim down. Since then my husband and I have gone to her for alterations to pants and trousers and she has continued to produce top-​notch work. I highly recommend her!

Leah must have changed a lot since 2008 (my wedding yr) bec I see bad reviews. I thought she was great !!! I brought in my wedding dress and she made it look like a million bucks. I was charged $ 200 which was such a bargain for an awesome transformation to the dress. She was a direct and told me exactly what she was going to do. She totally delivered.

Unbelievably. Bad. I brought a wedding dress to Leah for some very simple alterations — a tuck up top, a bustle, a button that needed replacing. Leah did an initial fitting and told me to come back in 3 weeks, making an appointment for 4pm on a Wednesday. When I got there for my appointment there was a sign on the door — «closed for Jewish holidays at 4pm» — a phone call would have been nice. I called to reschedule my appointment and was given an appointment for 2pm on Friday. When I arrived on Friday Leah was nowhere to be seen so I put on my dress… and discovered she had not even started on the alterations! I was livid and ready to walk out the door, but with 2 weeks to go until my wedding my Mother convinced me I had to let Leah finish the dress. I returned on Sunday for a final fitting. The alterations had been done but with little care and for a lot of money — it should not cost $ 300 and an extra trip to Yonkers for a tuck, a bustle, and a button. I love my wedding dress but I regret ever working with Leah — my bustle broke less than 5 minutes after I bustled my dress and my train ended up a dirty mess as a result. I would warn any customer to stay away — overpriced, horrible customer service and poor workmanship, I pity the bride who chooses to have her alterations done by Leah.

I’m the ultimate procrastinator. I scrambled looking for a seamstress to do last minute alterations and happened upon this place through a frantic google search. I called Leah, she told me to come in that day, we had a fitting and I left my extremely too long and poor fitting dress behind. Did I mention I dropped this dress off on a Thursday night, a week and a half before I’m supposed to leave for my destination wedding?
Leah called me the following TUESDAY morning and it was finished! I picked it up, fit beautifully, and I’m ready to go get married thanks to her!
She is also EXTREMELY reasonable with her pricing. I’m going to bring back some of my old bridesmaid dresses to turn into cocktail dresses!

I went to La Robe in search of a wedding gown. Unfortunately, the owner there doesn’t know how to deal with customers, especially brides. One of the first things she said to me was, «you are a size 16», but I am really a 10. That comment made me feel terrible about myself and it made me feel extremely self-​conscious. She continues to say maybe you are a size 10 in your upper body but not in your hips. In addition, the dresses there are also cheaply made and quite frankly ugly. I never write reviews, but I felt the need to write one because I don’t want this horrid women to ruin another bride’s experience wedding dress shopping.

My wife needed alterations to a formal gown IN A HURRY. She was happy to find out that Leah was open (and worked) on a Sunday. Her dress was ready two days later and she was thrilled with the quality of her work. Thanks to Leah for coming through for me on such short notice! (We highly recommend her work)!

Leah does wonderful alterations. She took in my wedding gown that had such an intricate back. I still wonder how she did it. Her fee is also very reasonable and she gets the alterations done in a reasonable amount of time. If you need anything extra, she can help you find it, and she will help you make your dress look perfect. She was very friendly. Her store is a bit small, so you might miss is in the strip mall, but it’s cozy. I would definitely recommend her. She also offers to press your dress prior to the wedding.
