I had an amazing experience with Aimee. I had a tight time frame and an even tighter budget and somehow, Aimee made it work. Throughout the fittings, she was always very patient and positive. She was super gentle with my dress (it was entirely beaded) and came up with a creative solution for the long train. She even went as far as researching the proper veil types for my traditional religious ceremony, just showing how she goes the extra mile. Thanks again for everything, Aimee!
Aimée is an amazing tailor who I absolutely recommend to any bride!Another review initially caught my eye because of “tight time frame” and “even tighter budget,” as my wedding was in less than a month and I was flabbergasted by the prices of other tailors with starting prices at $500.My positive experience ended up being so much more than a fast turnaround at a good price. In less than three weeks, Aimée transformed my wedding dress from “custom fit” — as ordered — to perfectly fit! It only took one fitting for her to reduce the dress by three sizes, make it fit perfectly, and add a bustle. She removed so much material that initial cloth layers disappeared and I started to see my form.During the fitting, she took helpful videos to show 1) the altered dress’s difference when I walked, and 2) my friend how to set the dress during pictures. My groom, who initially thought he could strap the dress tightly enough around me to keep it up, was surprised and delighted at the difference Aimée’s alterations made. Aimée had initially offered a free FaceTime session to show to him how to lace/tighten the corset. When she saw how there wasn’t any room left to tighten, she recommended a fitting session and squeezed me in the next day.Despite the last minute appointment, she still took her time to pin and re-pin the dress until it actually fit me. It looked so beautiful after she’d finished it that we wanted to use her for other tailoring needs too! Her talent, prices, personality, and communication make me wholeheartedly recommend her for the easiest and most complicated needs a bride may have.Thank you for making my wedding beautiful, Aimée!
Aimee did such an amazing job with my wedding dress! She has incredible fashion knowledge and a great eye for design, never cutting corners, but her prices are still very affordable. I was very pleased with my overall experience and certainly recommend her for alterations (or even a custom design). Thank you!
The level of stress that Aimée Lauren Atelier took off of our shoulders can not be overstated.Even with the RVA location now being mobile/ our wedding emergency was averted, we cannot thank her enough.The Hardy Family
I loved loved loved my dress! And The staff at Aimee Lauren Atelier worked tirelessly to make sure my gown fit me perfectly, even after an illness-induced drastic weight loss. I cant praise their talent and hard work enough.
This lady is phenomenal in so many ways .. She did my dress, brought it to me and even showed up on my wedding day to fix what I needed done to my dress ... The day of.. She made my day in so many ways than one ... Make sure you ladies go see her.. I was married April 29 2017 ..
Worst experience ever!! Do not recommend this site to anyone. Enough stress with weddings don’t need to deal with their return policies.
Aimée was not only helpful to the brides and her maidens, but to the groomsmen as well. We all looked like we stepped off the runway too! This lady knows how to make a suit look the way it should.
