Rhonda truly made me feel like a princess that day. That dress needed her love and attention, and this very mature bride needed her too! I love that she made me feel so secure and comfortable from the moment I met her to the moment I walked out of the hotel room where she came to make sure I looked my best…and all that comfort lasted until the end of the night. So lucky to have found this gem. A diamond really. Hire her. You will get the best of the best.
Rhonda was the absolute best! I came to her with a pretty tight timeline to alter my wedding dress and she went above and beyond on delivering exceptional work, even making a thoughtful and awesome suggestion to change the back in order for the dress to work better for me. My appointments with her were always on time and efficient (and extra special -- shes a medium too!) -- the dress fit perfect at the first fitting following alterations -- and the fact she really loved what she did showed in her work. Would recommend her to any future bride!
Look no further! Rhonda is THE Bridal MD!!She did an amazing job with my two piece dress, a chiffon skirt and beaded top from Catherine Deane. As soon as I walked in the door I felt like I gained a friend, as she was warm, inviting, funny and explained every step along the way. I cannot say enough good things about Rhonda, she makes you feel like the most special bride and really cares about the result. She also so kindly sewed a flower from my moms dress on to my top in the most beautiful and tasteful way. Id trust her with my life after the experience I had.My skirt turned out beautifully, and she removed all of the extra fabric and train that I didnt want. She really listened to what I wanted, and also gave great feedback and validated everything I wanted. She also added an extra reinforcement on my delicate top. She also gave great advice on how to keep my 36 Gs in place.Weddings can be stressful, but my dress fitting and hemming was the least stressful thing in all my planning. Shes THAT good. Thank you, Rhonda! You made me feel beautiful on my wedding day!
Rhonda was EXCELLENT!!!My wedding dress was a bit eccentric and had a lot of delicate embroidery to navigate, but Rhonda to the rescue!!!From the moment my friend and I entered her space, Rhonda was kind, compassionate, and calming. She altered the dress to my body, WHILE IT WAS ON ME!!I just needed a bit taken in on the waist and bust, but that is where the majority of the embroidery was applied and she was able to work around it all. I went for the second fitting and it fit like a glove! She has a special way of altering, that was passed down from her mother and grandmother, that I have never experienced!Not only is her work stellar, but she is a beautiful human being.I cannot recommend her services more highly!
Rhonda is THE BEST, she really pulled through when I needed my wedding dress to be altered and hemmed 3 weeks before my wedding date. She not only worked her magic but she really cared about making me feel beautiful for such a special day. Her positivity and energy is out of this world... thank you rhonda
Rhonda is the best of the best- her expertise, kind spirit is unmatched! I feel so lucky to have found Bridal MD and able to have Rhonda work on my wedding dress. I left in tears of happiness!! She brought my dress to life and is just the sweetest person all around. She makes you feel so comfortable & confident! If you want a super talented expert tailor, Rhonda is just that and more. :-)Thank you Rhonda!!
Ronda at Bridal MD saved my wedding gown! I bought my dress off the rack too big for me and was having it altered in Nebraska (where Im originally from and the wedding location) because I had plenty of time and had plans to fly back over that year to meet with my seamstress. Long story short, each time I saw my dress it got worse and worse. I found Ronda over Yelp because of her great reviews, and after one phone call on the phone I was sold. She was way out of my budget and what I wanted to spend, but the confidence she gave me that she could transform my dress, I knew it was worth it. I met with her a total of three times for about two hours each visit and it was so much fun watching her transform my dress right before my eyes! She cut and sewed my lace bodice on my body and it was the perfect fit by the end. My dress was stunning and more than I could have ever hoped for. Thank you, Ronda!
Rhonda is absolutely amazing to work with! First of all, she is incredibly responsive. After I submitted the initial contact form, she reached out asap and immediately knew what my dress needed just from the few pictures I sent. As a fellow perfectionist, I knew I wanted to work with her when she told me she wouldn’t be happy with the fit until it was perfect.In alterations, she was able to reduce major gaping in the bodice of my dress and had enough fabric to create the puff sleeves I’d been dreaming about. It was such a cool experience to see her making alterations to the dress as I was wearing it and she also walked me through all the different sleeve options, bustles, etc., all while listening to any questions and concerns I had.Last but certainly not least, she is such a positive, happy person who will not only make you feel beautiful in your dress but calm and reassured during what could otherwise be a stressful time. She helps you decompress from the moment you walk into her office, with soft music playing and a friendly listening ear. She loves her brides and it shows in the quality of her work and her kind spirit. Thank you Rhonda!
5 stars is not enough for Rhonda. To make a long story short, I had a issue with my wedding dress, and needed to add a bustle. My timeline was tight and the dress was very delicate lace. First of all, Rhonda was super prompt and thorough in her communication. I had all questions answered, bustle types explained and a quote immediately. She made time for me in her schedule and the appointment itself was lovely. Rhonda is a wonderful, kind person who not only gave me a gorgeous double French bustle in record time, but we had great conversation, and turned what could have been a stressful situation into a pleasant one. I highly recommend Rhonda for any and all wedding gown needs! (I will update the review with my dress after the wedding for all to see her beautiful work.)
Rhonda is amazing! I had an issue with the way my dress was fitting me and Rhonda was able to make the dress look gorgeous! Not only did she fix my dress, but her presence and kinda personality also calmed my nerves and we were able to have such an enjoyable fitting. The best part is she really listens to what you want. I highly recommend Rhonda!
RHONDA IS THE BEST! I came all the way from Los Angeles, California to have her tailor my wedding dress because I heard she IS the best. There was no way I would go to an average seamstress besides, a European Couture Tailor is what you need if you want your dress looking picture perfect and fit you PERFECTLY!! Thank you so much Rhonda!!!
Rhonda is a dream come true, she will make you love your dress even more than when you said yes to it the first time. If you want someone who actually cares about you and your special day, then you need her to work her magic on your dress! Her energy and positivity makes the process so easy and stress free. She is truly an artist and is very good at what she does.
I love Rhonda deeply! Was such an amazing experience. This was no ordinary dress couture tailoring. She is such an amazing human and I am so grateful I found her. She turned my dress from “scary” (it was too big and needed some major structure) and made me feel like a queen for my big day! What stood out to me the most is her care and attention to detail. These big bridal companies don’t have cups in women of color shades. She fixed all of it! Thank you thank you Rhonda!
Rhonda helped me so much ! I wasn’t able to get my dress altered by her because the previous seamstress completely ruined my dress. She was so honest with me and told me there was just no way of fixing my dress because the fabric had been ruined. She was on the phone with me, sending me links of where I can find a dress similar to mine. She was so sweet and caring !
Rhonda is amazing - she knew exactly what my dress needed and created a double bustle that is not only functional, but beautiful! She was also extremely fast, which was great for my schedule, and so lovely to chat with while she worked. Thank you, Rhonda!!
Amazing work, I was so glad that I found Rhonda to alter my wedding dress. My bridal dress needed the back altered, she was able to change it despite it being lace and you would never have been able to tell the difference - it was like the back was always that way! She even moved some of the lace flowers so cover the work, which I cant imagine was easy, but she does this all by hand! Her dedication to perfection is clear, and she is so easy to talk to and work with. Hands down recommend her for any work you need done.
Ronda was a life saver! My dress took 8 months to get in and when I got it 1 month before the wedding it was almost 2 sizes too big. The bridal boutique in LA I got my dress from recommended Bridal MD and lucky for me Ronda had a small location in San Diego (at the time) where I live. Multiple alteration places turned me down because they said I didnt have enough time for alterations, but Ronda made it happen. Not only did she make it happen, her work is amazing. My dress was ALL lace and she hand-sewed every little detail. As any bride would be, I was a little nervous making so many changes to the dress so close to the wedding, but Ronda took the time to walk me through the process and made me feel at ease. She also helped me re-do my moms veil, which was so special. Not only is her work amazing, but she was so fun to talk to. Ronda, you are amazing. Thank you so much!
Ronda did an amazing job on my dress! Its stressful handing your dress over to someone to alter it but Ronda did everything she could to put me at ease! She is easy to talk to and really listens to what you want. I felt comfortable telling her when I didnt like something and she changed it to how I wanted it immediately! My dress looked perfect the day of my wedding and made me feel so beautiful! Thank you Ronda! (for reference, I needed to add lining to the top of my dress as it was originally sheer, the top needed to be taken in as it was a little to big, and I added a bustle!)
Ronda, the soul of Bridal MD, not only pampers your dress, she also pampers the anxious, frazzled bride-to-be. Bridal MD was highly recommended by a local bridal boutique so I was confident my hand-sewn, multilayer, silk wedding dress would be altered expertly and beautifully (it was; see pic below). In addition, I was pleasantly surprised by Rondas compassionate and patient attention during my fittings. She accommodated my work schedule with late evening fittings and even helped me decompress after a particularly long day. More importantly, Ronda made sure we honored the purpose of the dress - getting married. We would have long discussions about marriage and what it means to find the person you want to be with. Ronda is very sweet and thoughtful (she even made a faux pocket square for my husband with pieces of my dress!). I highly recommend Bridal MD for alterations. Both you and your dress will be well cared for.
Rhonda took such great care of me and my wedding dress! Alterations were flawless and she was so helpful and thoughtful when it came to making decisions about my dress. She is so genuine and a delight to work with! I’m so glad I found her!
My dress was one full size too large and Rhonda did an amazing job downsizing it. She is fun and it was a very pleasant experience.She also volunteered to fix the hole on my t-shirt ;)
Where do I even begin?! Rhondas work is art. Its stunning. Rhonda brought my dress back from the brink of ruin (by another tailor), and I cant thank her enough for what she managed to pull off in a very short amount of time.I was a matter of weeks away from my wedding when I got my dress back from my first tailor - the straps were too short and wide and dug into my arms and back, the bustle was wacky and not cute, the dress was way too long and the bust area was HUGE and ill-fitting. When I mentioned the ill-fitting bust to the first tailor, her response was that Im lopsided and there was nothing she could do about it...uh what?? Queue sheer panic and frustration!I found Rhonda (through her fabulous reviews) and immediately emailed her. Rhonda got back to me right away and I had my first appointment within a matter of days. During this appointment Rhonda spent hours with me (as opposed to a rushed 10 minutes with my first tailor) going through every detail, figuring out how to fix it and make it right. Rhonda genuinely loves what she does and her enthusiasm and expertise was so reassuring. During my first appointment she took scissors to my straps and her raw cuts were literally more beautiful than the previous tailors finished work. As you can imagine, Rhondas finished work was nothing short of a masterpiece. She saved my dress and made it more beautiful than I ever couldve imagined. Rhonda is worth every penny spent. EVERY PENNY. Her work is impeccable, and gorgeous and she earns it! Thank you Rhonda, for everything :)
I LOVED working with Ronda! I bought my dream wedding dressed used and it was a little bit tight around the waist band and needed to be hemmed. Even though shes worked on WAY more expensive gowns, Ronda treated me like both a celeb and a friend and was as excited about my dress as I was. She changed the waistband on the dress, added a touch of sparkle and a button to bustle.
I don’t usually leave reviews but Ronda was actually one of the most wonderful people to work with. She is very meticulous about her work and cares so much about your dress and making sure that you’re happy. (What you want is most important to her) She completely deconstructed my dress and put it back together better than I could have imagined. She does the most beautiful bustles that I haven’t seen anyone else do as amazing as she does. Not only is she really good at what she does but she’s also extremely friendly and fun to be around throughout the entire process. Couldn’t recommend her enough! If you’re looking for the best of the best, she’s your girl.
Ronda was a dream to work with! Shes such a fun, lively, strong woman. She was the first bridal tailor I reached out to, and from the first moment I spoke with her on the phone about what I envisioned for my antique 1930s lace dress, I knew I wasnt going to find anyone better skilled or who had the same passion and excitement for my dress. And she did NOT disappoint! Throughout the whole process she made it so easy for me to trust her with my most precious garment. She loved and cared for it in the same way I, as the bride, love and care for my dress. She listened to my concerns and what I wanted the dress to be for me and my style, and followed suit to my wishes. I couldnt have asked for a better experience! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU RONDA! I cannot wait to wear my beautiful piece of history.
Rhonda is an exceptionally skilled and amazing tailor. I reached out to Rhonda on June 25th with a wedding date of August 22nd. My dressed needed to be trimmed as it was too long and I needed a bustle. I sent Rhonda the photos of me in my dress and she got back to me immediately with details of her services and prices (she is well worth every penny you spend with her). With only 2 months out from my wedding date (which I would advise others to give her more time as I was last minute due to COVID and nothing being open, so I was very blessed and lucky that she could fit me in) I was completely stressed about finding the perfect tailor and someone who was superbly skilled. I also wanted someone who would treat my dress as if it were there own. Well she met all expectations and beyond, from the moment I walked into her beautiful office and place of business to the day I picked my dress up and had the final fitting I felt at home. Rhonda started off by hand trimming my dress layer by layer as I stood in it to make sure we got the perfect length and to make sure the hem looked absolutely stunning. Her bright and bubbly personality melted all my worries away and she talked me through each step of what she was doing and why. I would recommend Rhonda to anyone out there looking for a tailor. She is truly the Bridal MD, and I can not imagine having anyone other then her touch my dress, especially with all the fears and worries us brides go through in our minds about someone altering our dress. I would 100 percent recommend her. Not only is she the best at what she does she is beautiful inside and out!!!!!!!
Ronda was amazing.I wanted a bohemian style dress that I couldn’t find in a bridal shop, so I found one online. I had to order a few sizes larger than usual cause I don’t have a typical body. Ronda helped me fitted the dress for me and added some beautiful touches!
Such a great experience! Ronda helped me last minute and was such a joy to work with! Not only was she so sweet, hilarious and fun, but also got the job done quickly and perfectly. I am so happy with how my dress turned out and received so many compliments at my wedding last weekend. So grateful and happy I reached out to her!
Ronda is a talented and amazing woman! I reached out to her a few weeks before my wedding when I realized that my original tailor plans fell through. I started to panic when other alteration places were unavailable for short notice appointments. Rhonda responded immediately and made me feel at ease right from the start. She made time to see me straight away and was very accommodating with her schedule. I only came to see Ronda for 2 fittings and after that my dress was done. She made terrific suggestions for simple changes that made me look even better than I had ever imagined. It was so easy and enjoyable to work with her! I would highly recommend Ronda to anyone who is looking to make their wedding dress fit perfectly. Not only is she amazing at what she does, she will also make the whole fitting process fun with her bright and vibrant personality.
Ronda is absolutely amazing! The dress for my pre wedding photo shoot came in and the sizing was way off. A friend of mine referred me to Ronda. I was able to get an appointment right away. Aside from having amazing skills, she also has such a great personality. You leave your appointment knowing you are in good hands. When I went to pick up the dress, it fit like a glove. I will definitely be taking my wedding dress to Ronda.
This is the very best place to go for your wedding dress! Whether you need it hemmed, altered to fit your body better, undergarments to fill it out... Ronda has it all and will hook you up!I found her because of her countless 5 star reviews. They seem to have disappeared with the launch of her new store but she is definitely 5 star worthy! Even though I sprung in with my dress 2 weeks before my wedding, Ronda was able to get me in and taken care of. Plus she is totally fun and makes you feel super comfortable.
Ronda was absolutely wonderful! She listened to exactly what I wanted, was extremely personable, and was so easy to communicate with. She helped make my wedding a dream come true by making my dress perfect for me. I was a little worried going into it because I had a very delicate dress and needed a good amount of alterations, but everything turned out better than I even expected and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience with her. I recommend her 110%!
Ronda is hands down the best! I feel very fortunate to have been referred to her. From our first consultation through to the final fitting, she took her time and really listened to what I was looking for in my wedding dress. She is truly an artist and made my dress everything I could have hoped for. The dress felt so good on my wedding day! Ronda is also just an amazing person and was lovely and fun to work with. She was so warm and instantly made me - and my family - feel welcome during my fittings. I cannot recommend her highly enough!
Ronda is an incredible seamstress. When I took my dress to her I was nervous because my dress has multiple layers of handmade lace. I thought it would be impossible to alter it but Ronda did it. She didn’t just make the necessary alterations, she went above and beyond making sure I was comfortable and completely happy. Ronda is creative and an expert at what she does. She made suggestions according to what I wanted but didn’t know how to express. She truly made my vision come true. I can’t wait to wear my dress. I would definitely recommended her to friends and family. Amazing service all around!
This place is AMAZING. Ronda is a master tailor trained in European couture tailoring and did almost all the tailoring on my wedding gown by hand with a needle and silk thread. My wedding dress was a very expensive dress over $7k and I was very nervous to hand it over to someone. It has very delicate lace and is mostly transparent everywhere else. It has a very distinct pattern especially on the hem and I didnt want to loose any of the detail of the pattern anywhere. I am a size 00 and the dress was a size 6. I have no idea how Ronda was able to do what she did, my dress fits like it was made for me and there is no way I can see any sign of any tailoring. I felt so safe and comfortable with Ronda and immediately felt at ease. Her respect of my dress made me feel so thankful I chose her for my wedding dress alterations Bridal Alterations by Bridal MD is THE VERY BEST!! Her prices are higher than other places but honestly worth every dollar and MORE. She even has a service that made my dress water resistant and I am SO HAPPY I got it on my dress, one of my bridesmaids tripped and spilled red wine on the front of my dress and I was in shock when I saw the wine roll off my dress in little beads leaving no trace of the near accident!!! Seriously I can not recommend BridalMD strong enough they are incredible. Thank YOU so much for making my gorgeous wedding dress my ultimate dream dress.
I cant say enough good things about Ronda. My dress came in two and a half weeks before my wedding and I was referred to Ronda by my bridal shop. I had no idea that the typical time needed for wedding dress alterations is approximately 6-8 weeks, so my case was an emergency. I am incredibly thankful Ronda showed me grace and opened up her services to me with it being so last minute. She did a remarkable job tailoring my dress and had it back to me within just a few days! She had to take in the bodice and hips, add bra cups, switch out buttons, and add a bustle. Her work made me feel like my dress was made just for me. She also had so many helpful ideas to make my dress look even better. She is so friendly, full of life, and incredibly talented. I would recommend her to anyone I come across! And with her being a tailor instead of a seamstress, she fully reconstructs the dress from the inside out and assembles it back together just as it came from the designer. You could never tell. You can rest assured that you and your wedding dress will be in the very BEST of hands.
Ronda is the best!! From the moment I met her, it was a great experience! I lost quite a bit of weight from the time I ordered my dress and my wedding, and my dress needed to be taken in about 4 sizes. I was very nervous about having that much work done because my dress has a lot of lace and some pretty intricate beading, but Ronda did a great job! The dress looks like it was made for me! Not only does she do great work, but she is so much fun and so sweet! Every appointment was like hanging out with your best friend! I highly recommend her!
I had the pleasure of meeting Ronda and let me just say she is a very sweet and honest person. From the beginning when I requested a qoute she was very responsive and very straight forward. I felt my time was valued and I personally love that she was very attentive and knew what she was quoting on and not giving me the run around. With my wedding being two months away she gave me the ease that I was seeking for since it took me a very long time to find a place that I felt comfortable taken my dress for alteration. When I bought my dress I got it two sizes big and she made it fit like a glove. Her warmth greeting and bubbly personality is what made the experience even more special. She indeed has an amazing passion for her artistry and I am forever grateful to have met her. Highly recommend her she is the best!!!!
My daughter and I found Rhonda and I are completely satisfied and happy with the quality and skill of her work. She was so pleasant and easy to work with. I can see why she Has such awesome reviews here and on yelp. We got my daughters dress at Kleinfeld bridal in New York City we told them are from LA and they strongly recommended Rhonda. We give her a call and feel very lucky we were able to get in with her, she’s in such high demand. I highly recommend her tailoring services She takes such care and it’s easy to see she really loves what she does. I am recommending her to everyone I know that is getting married! She is the very best!
Simply the BEST Bridal alterations in New York. The very last independent European Couture fitting tailor left in the United States. Rhonda Is a Master tailor and actually hand sculpts the fit while you are wearing the garment. She is a true artist if she says it can be done it absolutely can. And will surpass all expectations. She has incredible skill and is very easy to work with making you feel so comfortable. It’s a very enjoyable experience. She is not cheap by a long shot but worth every penny and more. I guess that’s why everyone calls her The Fairy Dress Mother.
Rhonda is truly heaven sent! I had my wedding dress tailored by an in house seamstress and she did not do a very good job. I got into my car and found Rhondas number online. She calmed me down over the phone and was able to get me an appointment for 2 hours later! Rhonda made me feel at ease as soon as I walked in the door. She told me what she was going to fix and I walked out of her office feeling very confident that everything was going to be okay. A week later, I picked up my dress and was blown away with how perfectly the dress fit! I am beyond grateful that I found Rhonda. Not only is she the most genuine person, she is also extremely talented at what she does. If I could leave 10 stars, I would!
Ronda is such an incredibly talented and amazing woman! I reached out to several places to request alternations quote for my wedding dress. Ronda was the first one to respond. She asked me to send her the pictures and she was able to quote me just by looking at the pictures (while other places were telling me to come in which is time consuming and difficult with my work schedule). She called me to go over the quote and after the phone call I knew I was in good hands. I only came to see Ronda for 2 fittings and after that my dress was done. It was so easy and wonderful to work with her. Not only she is talented at what she does, she also has a great personality. I would highly recommend Ronda to anyone who is looking to make their wedding dress fit perfectly.
There are so many great reviews already about how lovely of a job Rhonda does, and I couldnt agree more. I was initially very hesitant about the cost, because Ive bought the dress and am paying for a wedding, so theres already been a lot of money spent. But trust me; Bridal MD is well worth the price and you receive such great service! Rhonda did a wonderful job and knew exactly what my dress needed to turn it into my dream wedding gown. There is no one else I would ever trust with its intricate design. Her work is truly flawless and I can’t wait to put the dress on again on my wedding day!
What can I say? Rhonda is amazing. She had incredible confidence and the skill to back it up. She was very welcoming and offered me refreshments and was very knowledgeable. She took the time to explain what and how she planned to do the alterations on my wedding dress. I felt at ease instantly. Her pricing was higher than the other quotes I got but after reading the many horror stories about other seamstresses I definitely am glad I spent the money to go with BridalMD it was a very easy and enjoyable experience and I highly recommend her.
I cannot emphasize enough how grateful I am to have met this beautiful and talented woman! You’d honestly imagine that someone that talented, that has the experience she has would be kind of stuck up... but Ronda is so sweet and professional, not to mention hilarious... she took on the challenge of my satin wedding dress and killed it. It fit like a glove ❤️ I cannot recommend her enough.
Ronda is amazing!! She is so talented, personable, friendly, and efficient. My dress looks like it was hand-made just for me! I had to reschedule my appointments a few times and she was more than gracious. She is a class act. I would recommend her to any and everyone. I could not be more thrilled with my dress :)
Best experience hands down!! I am not from California and was honestly afraid to get my dress altered because I did not know where to go or anyone. I saw bridal Md on yelp and this company was rated so high I called Rhonda first and didnt get quotes from anyone else the reason being is because when I talked to her she was so welcoming and inviting I did not want to lose her. My dress was absolutely beautiful the day that I got it. I couldnt stop saying thank you to her and her team! They did such a great job. I never leave reviews online but this one I must!!! Rhonda is so sweet and caring and will help you no matter what!!!
Ronda is simply incredible! I honestly could never have anticipated what an easy, seamless (no pun intended) process it would be. Ronda made me feel comfortable right away and my dress is absolutely stunning thanks to her. She is intuitive and knew exactly what I needed to feel beautiful on my wedding day.I went in not really knowing what my dress would need except for a hem (it was definitely too long). Im having a small, intimate wedding with no bridal party, so I went to my fitting alone. She knew exactly what to do to make the dress fit my body perfectly! I didnt have to think about it... she gave me some options, told me what the benefits of each option would be, and I made choices that felt right for me. Super easy!! She even added embellishments for a special extra touch and it brought my dress to a whole new level!I was initially referred to some other local tailors for alterations, but none of them were anywhere near as helpful over the phone as she was. From our initial phone call she gave me a quote, explained what would likely be needed in terms of work on my dress, and we booked our initial fitting shortly thereafter.Her prices reflect her attention to detail and her work is worth EVERY penny, I assure you. She fills up FAST!! So if youre in need of someone you can count on to make you feel pretty and make your dress perfect for you, Ronda is your person. I honestly wouldnt trust anyone else with something as valuable as your wedding dress. She is simply the best!
I absolutely love Ronda! She’s amazing and she worked magic on my dress! I cannot thank her enough for the laughs and the love she put into my dress.
I was worried about getting my dress altered due to the layer of lace intricate designs and preserving the design on the bottom of the dress, but Ronda did an amazing job!! She is truly talented and my dress came out perfect. It looked exactly the same as before except fit perfectly, all designs preserved. I am so glad that I found BridalMD to trust with my wedding dress!
Thank so much Bridal Alterations by BridalMD for saving my wedding. I unexpectedly lost 50 pounds from the time I ordered my dress I thought it was a lost cause. But Ronda is so talented and was able to not only make my dress fit me but it looked exactly like it was supposed to. Yes, it almost cost the same as I paid for it but I would totally do it again! She is absolutely amazing. Besides her obvious skill as a wedding dress tailor she is a ton of fun and I have decided to make sure she stays in my friendship circle. I did hire her to attend me at my wedding too and she saved the day! Someone stepson my train and broke my bustle but Ronda was right there with her needle and thread to fix it. And even helped me when I needed a bathroom break. She even brought wipes, deodorant and powder to freshen me up. I felt like a queen. If you’re looking for the Best Wedding Dress Alterations in Los Angeles stop looking it’s Ronda at Bridal MD!!
Ronda is amazing. She is very nice, friendly, and professional. She got my dress ready on time as she promised. She wanted to make sure the dress would fit me perfectly. At the time I was about to pick up the dress, the dress straps were still a little bit too long. Perhaps, I lost some weight. Anyway, she got her team to fix them right away, on the spot, so that I dont need to set up another appointment to pick it up. Overall, Im happy with her work and I love my dress a lot.
Stop your search now! Ronda is the absolute BEST in the business. If you want to feel like best version of yourself, contact Ronda. She is not a budget tailor, but the investment in her services is worth every penny. The main alteration I wanted for my wedding dress was a hem. I contacted Bridal MD and quickly received a detailed, and honest, quote.At my first studio visit, Ronda welcomed me with great energy and I felt instantly comfortable. She was able to address my main concerns, AND offer guidance on additional adjustments that I did not think of on my own. It wasn’t as if she was up-selling – she truly knows how to improve a dress for each individual. You can tell that she loves what she does, and she enjoys being a part of each bride’s journey.Let’s be honest, there is a lot of pressure on a bride to look (and feel) the most beautiful she has in all her life – and Ronda will get you through any bumps along the way. At my second fitting, everything that I wanted changed on my dress was done impeccably. At that point, I started to nitpick tiny details on the dress that I had not noticed before. I panicked that I had chosen the wrong dress all together. I left the studio with mixed feelings. I contacted Rhoda the next morning to let her know about my doubts. I am so glad I was open with her, as she was able to quickly think out of the box, and again perform her magic on my gown! I was nervous going into my second fitting – BUT EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT. Rhonda was able to custom weigh seams in my dress that were giving me some anxiety.Ronda is talented, and caring. Also, you get to support a woman owned small business! Ronda is amazing, and I highly recommend her services.
Ive been meaning to write a review for Ronda for quite awhile so this is long over due! I called her last minute, about a couple weeks prior to my wedding date which gave me very little time to do alterations to my wedding gown. Basically, it was an emergency but Ronda came to the rescue. I mean, she was a God sent and was able to do the alterations within a few weeks! Initially, when I first met her I loved her energy, laughter, and stories she told and I knew from that first day I was being taken care of which was the BIGGEST relief from all the wedding issues I was facing. It was also very clear to me that she knew me right away and envisioned my vision perfectly. Second time, it was both Ronda and Di that came over and I enjoyed the personalized attention I received from both of them! They are both very understanding and sweet and you do not come across many people like that.Ronda and her crew took my dress down from a size 10 to a size 2 and did a beautiful job! My dress definitely fitted like a glove and I could not have been happier with the result. What I love about her is the fact that she listened to what I wanted and encouraged me to do what I felt comfortable with. And since my wedding was being held in another state, they couldnt be there on my wedding day to help so she took the time to do a teaching video for my bridesmaids on how to lace up the back of my dress. She even showed me how to walk in my dress and gave me many tips for the day of the wedding which was extremely helpful. Not only am I thankful for my dress but for the overall experience I had with Ronda and her crew.If you want to work with a professional, talented, honest seamstress and team, please call them! They do emergency alterations and will travel to your home which saves you gas! Many blessings and continued success for you guys!! Yall are truly amazing!
Ronda is extremely talented and very passionate about what she does! Shes very personable makes you feel comfortable and at ease from the very beginning. She made my alteration experience completely stress free and I absolutely can’t wait for my big day thanks to Ronda and her team! If you are looking for the best of the best, I would absolutely recommend Bridal MD!!
Ronda is a wonderful bridal tailor. Kind, professional, a good listener, and incredibly skilled. I had a delicate silk wedding dress to hem with multiple layers at the bottom. We didnt have much time to spare before the wedding and she was able to do it quickly. Also, because I was eloping and then having a series of celebrations after, I needed to wear the dress multiple times. Ronda really listened, and tailored the dress in a way to spare the most delicate silk beaded parts from excess wear, while honoring the spirit of the dress. She was very confident in determining the proper length, and I really appreciated her expertise. She is a third generation tailor, after all! Her staff is great, too. Highly recommend!
I chose to see Ronda for two reasons, BHLDN recommended her and also from all of the rave reviews. They are all true! I knew right away that my dress and I were in great hands. She is detail oriented, professional, kind and patient. She listened to how I envisioned myself on my wedding day and made it happen 100%. She is a perfectionist and it shows in the detail and quality of her work. I am so lucky to have found her! Thank you, Ronda and team!!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU Ronda for saving my wedding dress!! I called Bridal Alterations by Bridal MD crying, I was so upset I could hardly speak. I had previously went to Ronda for a quote to do the alterations on my dress and I thought it was more than I wanted to spend she was super sweet and said she totally understood and wished me the best luck. I went to another bridal alterations place that was half the price and not only did they take 5 weeks longer than they quoted, after they started working on my dress they called me to tell me it would be double what the price was when I first took it!!!! I immediately regretted not just taking it to BridalMD. I had no choice but to let them continue to my devastation, when I came to pick up my dress it looked horrible all the seams were completely visible and puckered, the beautiful lace edge on my hem was cut off and the dress didnt even fit me right. I was so upset I got to my car and had an emotional break down. I called my mom and she said CALL RONDA NOW! So I did and SHE WAS SO WONDERFUL. She gently calmed me down and said she had a full schedule but would make a special appointment for me at 11:00 PM that day!!! I came in utter embarrassment but she was so sweet and caring. I forgot to say that I only had 2 weeks till my wedding, ugh. I had only paid $500 for my dress but I loved it and there was NO way I could get another one in that short of time especially with the curves I am dealing with. Ronda is my Fairy Dress Mother I am here to tell all brides that the most important expense you have is your wedding dress alterations and even if they are 2x the cost of your dress PLEASE DO NOT THINK TWICE AND GO TO BRIDAL MD!!! OH I also want to mention that she worked night and day and got my hem magically put back on even though the other butchers had cut it clean off. It looks like it was never cut! And I opted for the awesome corset she has it took 3 inches off my waist. Seriously I cant thank Ronda enough she definitely made the difference in my wedding.
Enjoyed working with Rhonda! I originally bought a dress and we had big plans for it, however closer to the wedding I decided it wasnt the dress for me so Rhonda was still able to complete my vision! She fitted a corset top and adjusted the skirt. When I came in for my last fitting (wedding a week away) there was still some changes needed, however she took care of it so I was able to take my dress home that day :) Also, she made my off-shoulder look come true with extra scraps of lace we had. Felt like a goddess on my wedding day, and everything stayed put.
I had an amazing experience with Ronda! Not only was she an expert and speedy but also made me feel super comfortable. So grateful for the magic she did on my dress!
Ronda is amazing! From the second she makes first contact with you to when you leave her studio with your finished dress the experience is incredible. Going wedding dress shopping is supposed to be an experience, why should getting your wedding dress altered be any different? I don’t want to be in some cramped basement of a boutique getting poked and stabbed while being reminded of all my body imperfections. Ronda welcomes you with open arms, treats you like you’re the only bride in the world, and that your dress is precious. She loves what she does it and it really reflects in her work. BridalMD is where you should take your wedding dress in the SoCal area without a doubt. Worth every penny!
Where do I begin.....Rhonda turned a nightmare dress into the dress of my dreams. She worked really hard to make sure I felt beautiful on my wedding day. It’s rare to find business who isn’t just trying to take advantage of you, she truly cares about the finished the product. Her knowledge and expertise surpasses anything I’ve ever experienced. I have sent some of my friends who are getting married this year to her, and will for sure be back for any of my tailoring needs. You NEED Bridal MD!
Ronda was simply amazing! My MOH found her and I couldn’t have been more happy with her alterations/additions to my dress. She was friendly, fun, kind and honest- everything every bride needs! I enjoyed every visit with her and couldn’t have loved her more. Not only did Ronda make my dress fit perfectly but she was helpful in accessorizing me and adding a belt to my dress. I was hesitant to a bustle and ended up loving what I got! Recommended to every bride to be :)
Rhonda is amazing! She fit me in just in time before my Wedding; my dress came in late but she had everything done with 2 weeks to spare! Thank you so much, Rhonda! Youre passion, attention to detail and your genuine hospitality turned a stressful situation into a wonderful experience!
Ronda is the BEST!! I had so many things to be done with my dress because I took it to a seamstress and they just messed everything up I was nearly in tears! Thankfully I found Ronda on Yelp and she just made everything look perfect :). BEST TAILOR EVER! Never again will I go to a seamstress🎉
I really wish I could give Ronda more stars than just 5. She seriously is a miracle worker!When I bought my dress I was in between sizes, so I sized down thinking I would lose the weight. Well, I didnt and if anything I gained weight. So to put it simply, I had to take out my dress which I was kind of freaking out about.My wedding dress has lace, beading all over, AND a beaded belt. She found lace that matched SO well that I couldnt even tell the difference where it was added in. She also removes the lace, and beading and puts them back on. She also had to do that for the intricate bottom lace I had for the hem. My dress was a piece of work, and shes the reason why it fit perfectly!Not only is Ronda seriously magical with her work, shes also so much fun to work with! She has the BEST personality and I swear to goodness, can cheer anybodys day up. My SIL is getting married in January and 5 minutes after meeting Ronda, had already booked an appointment with her. She really loves what she does, and it shows in her work and her amazing attitude. I only wish I could keep hanging out with her even though my wedding day is over!!
Ronda was very quick to respond and was able to fit me in with very short notice and less than a month out from my wedding! The dress turned out beautiful!
Rhonda is really wonderful! Her work and her personality made it such a great experience. From the initial inquiry to the final fitting she has been so wonderful.
Ronda is THE best! She is not only extremely talented but she is very sweet and caring. I am so, SO happy I went to her for my bridal alterations!
Rhonda saved my dress!! I initially went to someone that didnt know what they were doing and nearly ruined my silk crepe gown. The bodice was ill fitting and my breasts looked lumpy! Rhonda immediately knew how to fix it and reassured me that everything would be ok (which I desperately needed at that point). She fixed the bodice and all of the lumps and also replaced the breast cups with push up bathing suit cups that did wonders for my girls!! I wish I had another occasion to go back to her because she was so sweet and fun to interact with. Will definitely recommend her to any friends that get married in the future!
Very beautiful work! Easy to work with. My wedding dress came out perfect. Would highly recommend.
Absolutely phenomenal. She literally saved my wedding dress, was extremely professional, personable, and kind. Ronda for the win!
Wife told me to leave a good review because she loved this place. Wife was beautiful on our wedding day I have nothing but kindness for this woman.
Ronda is absolutely amazing! I HIGHLY, HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend you talk to her if youre looking for wedding dress alterations. She truly cares about making you look beautiful on your wedding day. How do I know this? Well, read on for all of the details.First off, I was really worried about altering my dress because it is made of intricate lace. The ladies at The White Flower told us that our alterations person would cut the bottom part off and sew it up to hem it, while the manager at Here Comes The Bride told us that they would probably hem it from the skirt. Well, they were both wrong! Ronda pointed out that my dress was made from one piece of lace, so she would have to deconstruct the entire dress to hem it in order to ensure the lace wasnt ruined. I was a little nervous about this prospect, but you have to trust her. My dress came back at the perfect length. I have no idea how she did it, but it was just absolutely breathtaking.Second off, while I knew my dress was the one, there were a couple of modifications I wanted and she took care of it, no problem. For instance, my dress has a zipper back, but I wanted to add small buttons just for style - those turned out amazingly. She also pointed out small details that made my dress fit like it was sewn on me - she took in the waist so I would appear slimmer and less boxy, and made sure that the unfinished tulle was cut appropriately.The best part about Ronda and Bridal MD is the flexibility. I didnt have to drag my dress halfway across town to get it altered, I was able to have all my fittings done at my parents house and she was more than accommodating around my work schedule. It was nice knowing that I could just keep my shoes, crinoline skirt, veil, and tiara in one place instead of having to bring everything with me for alterations.Overall, I am extremely happy with the alterations done on my dress. Not only did Ronda give us good advice for my dress, she also helped my mom with some advice for the finishing touches on my veil and tiara. Go to Ronda - you wont regret it!
I cant say enough good things about Ronda and the magic that she works with wedding gowns. Id originally fallen in love with my backless BHLDN gown despite an ill fit, and purchased it with the stores reassurance that it would be perfect once the waist was taken in and boning was added. Months later, the reality was that my beautiful dress fit like a sack that boning wouldnt solve. Online reviews led me to Ronda - and thank God, because looking back my dress would have been butchered by the other tailors and seamstresses I was considering. Ronda re-hand-wove my all-lace bodice to fit me like a glove, and actually improved on the dresss original design. She also hemmed the tulle skirt to fall and flow perfectly. It fits and looks like a DREAM, better than I ever would have thought possible. Ill be back in a few weeks (post-wedding) w/ photos!
At first I was suspicious because I read so many 5 star reviews on their Yelp page. All the reviews pretty much said that Ronda was a dress magician. There were like 1 or 2 that were clearly from Bridezillas, lol So I decided to go ahead and make an appointment. I didnt buy a super expensive dress but I do love it and didnt want it ruined. Anyway, I have a weird shape and was concerned that the dress just wouldnt be able to give me the shape I really wanted.... So UMMMM YES RONDA IS THE BEST!!!! I looked like a bombshell and my husband cried when he saw me. So I decided to add my own feedback to the countless others and give a huge shout out and thank you to Ronda for the nothing short of amazing work she did on my dress. She was super cool and fun to work with too. Her studio is really nice and my fittings were all private, no other clients were there. I felt like the process was actually fun and I looked forward to each appointment and was so sad the last one would be the end of my visits with her. I can fully recommend Bridal Alterations with BridalMD as the very best wedding alterations in Los Angeles.
Ronda is amazing! She knows all the tricks and did an amazing job with my dress.
I bought my dress in Costa Mesa, so when it came time for alterations, I decided to bring it closer to home (San Diego) to make my life easier before my wedding. I’m so glad I did, because then I found Ronda.She responded to my inquiry the same day I submitted it, and a couple weeks later, I had my first fitting. I didn’t think much needed to be done to the dress, but then I put it on and realized I looked like 80’s Madonna on the top thanks to the boning (something I’d missed when I bought the dress). Ronda was able to take portions of the boning out and leave some in so the girls were all freed up but my stomach was still under control. I did notice after the first alterations were done that my dress felt long, so we set a date for me to try on the dress again closer to the wedding that would work if I needed Ronda to make any other adjustments. She told me that the style of the dress I picked was intended to be floaty, and after looking at pictures of the models in it, I realized she was right—the dress was super long on all of them.When that day came, my dress was DEFINITELY too long and I panicked. I texted Ronda and she immediately responded with an appointment time that week to come in. I was so worried because my fiancé and I had a choreographed dance to do, and with the dress the length it was, there was no way I’d get through the dance. I seriously thought I’d chosen the wrong dress.When I walked into Ronda’s studio the second time, she calmed me down right away and assured me we’d figure something else out. The dress would look too weird if we cut much more off the sides, so she added invisible pickups (clear buttons and clear fishing line/thread) on the sides so when it came time to dance, the sidestep would be clear.Honestly, I was so happy when I tried on the dress after the second round of changes that I cried. I doubt any normal alterations place would have been able to do half the amazing job that Ronda did while still maintaining the intended look of the dress. She listened to my concerns, considered the style of the dress, and came up with a creative solution that absolutely could not have been more perfect. The day of my wedding, I confidently pulled off the choreographed dance without any hiccups.It’s so important to work with people that listen to you when you’re a bride, and I felt so heard and so understood every time I met with Ronda. I wouldn’t recommend going anywhere else.
Next level! Better than the best!!!! I am absolutely blown away with how spectacular Ronda of BridalMD is! She took my Badgley Mischka wedding gown and really made it mine! We added embellishments to the lace trim on bodice and lace trim of the skirt; she re-worked the most delicate and intricate lace to get it to the perfect length without cutting the trim (like the Archive Bridal was going to do!). She made my breasts fit perfectly for me! We changed the placement of the straps, and reinforced the clasps/hooks, made sure all the gems were secure on my belt-line! Just wow!!!!!!! There will never be a dress like mine because we made it so personalized! This woman is a Couture concierge tailor who has been given a gift! She is one of three people in the world with this level of skill!!! Im not kidding, look it up!! She works magic, and I would never trust anyone else! People fly from across the country to have Ronda work on their thousand dollar dresses, and I am honored to have her bless my dress with her skill and attention to detail! You will forever be in my heart!
Last minute planning on our end and Bridal Alterations (Ronda) still managed to surpass our expectations in correcting multiple issues with my fiance gown. Her friendly swift service, passion and pride for military and her hands down expertise in talioring, exemplifies why shes the Alteration Queen of San Diego.....
There are no words. Ronda was (is) my fairy god mother.My dream was to be a Kleinfeld bride. So my family and I flew to New York where I tried on about 25 dresses before deciding on a Pnina Tornai gown. Problem was, I was so caught up with being a Kleinfeld bride, I wasn’t sure if I loved the dress.Bridal MD was the first result that came up when searching for someone who could tailor my dress, so my mother and I sent her a message detailing what we were hoping to have done.I don’t think... Correction: I know we were not prepared for the level of service we were about to receive. From the moment we stepped foot in her studio to just a few minutes ago as I walked out of my final fitting, we received such an amazing quality of service. Ronda is accommodating, funny, fascinating, kind, generous, and most importantly, an expert at her trade.I will insert before and after photos of my dress (at Kleinfelds, when I received it, and at my final fitting) after my wedding on June 9th just to showcase just how much she actually did to my dress. A substantial amount of the dress was taken in, the back was completely removed, back zipper was shortened, she made me brand new straps, the length of the skirt was adjusted, sticky cups and darts were added to the bust, she added a bustle... and I’m sure I’ve left something out. She essentially reconstructed my entire dress. Oh! I purchased my veil from Ronda. I never thought I’d get excited over a veil until I tried this one on. Soft as butter. Absolutely dreamy.You pay for the quality of service you receive, and she still goes above and beyond. Working with Ronda has genuinely been the highlight of this wedding planning experience. You will NOT be disappointed putting your dress in her care.Ronda, thank you for being one of the most wonderful humans I have ever met. You allowed me to fall in love with my wedding dress. I wish you nothing but success in all of your future endeavors.
This review is because of Bridal MDs affiliation with Tour of Elegance.I was given a referral from Erin Bearden from Tour of Elegance after a she had lost my order on a wedding dress I had purchased back in Oct 2017 (please see yelp review of Tour of Elegance). I ended up having to buy the sample out of despiration of not having a wedding dress 2 months before my wedding. It was 2 inches too small in the bust and too long. I had initially purchased custom length on my dress and the correct size for my frame. Erin said she would talk to Ronda about helping me out. I get a quote from Ronda for $1000 in alterations, which I thought was outrageous. After buying the sample and $1000 in alterations that would have been the price I would have spent on my brand new dress, which would have been the right size, length, and color.I started searching other bridal alterations places and none of the quotes have been close to $1000.The thing that rubbed me the wrong way was that she said that retailers losing orders happens all the time. The fact that she was trying to justify Tour of Elegance losing my order was when I knew I couldnt trust her. Im sure she is friends with Erin and theyre trying to get more money out of me. Ive talked to many other bridal boutiques in search of my dress and they said this type of thing RARELY happens and if its the retailors fault (Essence of Australia) like Erin said it was, they would do everything in their power to make it right. Dont trust this vendor or Tour of Elegance.
Reliable, personable, perfect alterations. Highly recommended!
