Tailoring and Alterations by Pizzazz

I absolutely recommend Nina for wedding dress alterations. I was looking for tailoring for my wedding dress at a reasonable price and Nina was perfect. Not only was she professional, responsive and honest but she made me feel confident that the finished product was going to be beautiful. My dress required the corset to be taken in, layers shortened and a bustle to be added. I do recommend planning ahead and calling her as soon as you purchase a dress. She works alone so she can get booked up especially during the busy wedding seasons.

Nina @Tailoring and Alterations by Pizzazz was recommended to me for my wedding dress alterations. I needed the bodice altered, cups put in, bustle added & the dress shortened. I immediately felt at ease after my first appointment with Nina. She definitely knows what she is doing so I just let her work her magic. Nina was also able to create a belt with the rhinestone sash I had found at the last minute. My dress went to AWESOME! My dress fit perfectly on my wedding day and looked stunning!
Nina was absolutely amazing and I highly recommend her. I will definitely be going back to her in the future!
oh and she also was able to alter a long white dress I had that was blah to an adorable little white dress that I wore on my bachelorette! LOVED!

I cannot say enough about Nina and her handiwork! Purchased my daughter’s prom dress from Peaches (an overall nice experience — and from whom we got Nina’s initial referral), but soon after we got home, looked closer and realized that the amount of tailoring necessary to properly alter the dress (intricate lace and bead work at the bottom, as well as a bustled train), was going to be enormous (as even in four inch heels, my daughter’s a respectable 5′ 9’NOT a 6′ runway model). Wasn’t sure at all if the (all sales final at Peaches) dress could be hemmed without losing it’s fashion sense and structure, but Nina worked miracles. Very fair and reasonable prices, very thorough fittings and such sweet personal assistance (in her home). From start to finish have never had such a professional and enjoyable formal dress ‘fitting’ experience (yes, she also does weddings)…Nina’s staying in my speed dial forever. Thank you again Nina, you are a miracle worker.

Nina is fantastic and very reasonably priced. She altered my dress for my wedding 3 years ago. I had this vision for my bustle to go under my dress rather than be bunched up on my back side so that when it was pinned underneath it would just look like a floor length dress. Nina took this vision of mine and made it a reality. She said she’d never done anything like that before but you wouldn’t tell it looking at my dress. I highly recommend Nina! The first photo shows my train and the second is the best photo I could find of the back of my dress all tucked under.

Nina is amazing! Her work is really great quality and very affordable. I would highly recommend her, and look forward to working with her again.

Does anyone know about how much she charges I need a little taken in in the side and a little off the length with a bustle we are on a very tight budget

It’s been a year since I went to Nina and I still think about the great job she did. I got married in August and had my dress done in June. Meaning I brought my dress to her at the beginning of June and it was done by the end (including 2 fittings). She’s so quick and everything was done with quality. I had quite a difficult dress to alter, basically 2 sizes too big and had lots of wavy ruffles, so she took in the sides and was able to shorten it to just the right length. All done for a reasonable price! I would definitely recommend her to everyone that needs not only wedding dresses, but any simple (or major) alterations.

Nina is amazing!
I wear a size ⁰⁄₂ dress but had to get a size 6 to stand up for a wedding. The dress was too log, too big and not flattering at all. The dress has multiple types of fabrics and flowing layers. I thought it would be impossible to fix. the wedding is on 4÷20÷13 so i was running out of time. Most places I called quoted me double what Nina charged me. I emailed Nina and she got back to me right away and worked around my crazy schedule. I met with Nina and told her what I wanted and she explained to me what she needed to do. She reassured me she would help me. I picked up my dress today and it was AMAZING!!! I was blown away with how beautiful it was, it doesn’t even look like it was altered! it fit me PERFECT and she also added built in bra padding. Nina is truly talented and experienced. I will be going to her if I ever need anything altered in the future. Nina is a lifesaver!!! The best work Ive ever seen!

I went to Nina to get a bridesmaid dress altered that was one size too big. She did a wonderful job, it fits great! Her prices were much more reasonable than what they offered at David’s Bridal, where I purchased the dress from. The turn around time was very quick, she had the dress ready in a couple of days. I would highly recommend Nina!

I am really glad that I found Nina! I had to alter the length in the front of my wedding dress (which otherwise fit me perfectly) and I have contacted many tailors in Chicago and the suburbs. Unfortunately, as soon as they heard the word «bridal» they all asked for colossal prices without even considering the simple change that had to be done. When I e-​mailed Nina a picture of my dress — she got back to me right away with a very reasonable price; and since I saw a bunch of good reviews on her on google reviews I decided to go with her. Nina is extremely nice and very professional — she quickly measured everything she needed to do and even gave me a couple of hints about my dress that I didn’t consider before, such as pulling my train up for dancing purposes. She wasn’t pushy at all which I also liked but I went with everything she suggested and I am glad I did because I would be tripping all over on the dance floor otherwise. She did a really good job on my dress and I would definetely recommend her to anyone.
