Laura’s Couture & Alterations

They did an amazing job altering my very expensive designer dress and making sure I felt beautiful and comfortable in it. Very professional! I highly recommend.

I had a terrible experience with this company when I brought in my wedding dress for alterations. I was treated rudely by Fabio, the salesperson, when I told him that I would not use their services because they were out of my budget. Fabio looked at me & said, «what do you want me to do about it?» So I took my wedding dress & left. I would not recommend this company to anyone. Aside from their lack of quality customer service, the prices are outrageous. I was quoted $ 700 plus tax to bustle, hem & take in my dress. That’s it! I was not doing anything special or out of the ordinary to my dress… Save yourself the wasted trip & use another seamstress.

I came here because the store I purchased my dress at recommended her. I wanted to have some major work done on my dress. I wanted to add sleeves, have the lace in the back taken in (it was too long and hanging), I also wanted it chopped and cut to above my knee, taken in on the sides, and possibly add material to the back so that I could wear a bra with the dress. I know that is a lot of work but her price was absolutely ridiculous. It was almost as much as my dress! I took it to an alterations place in Katy that my sister in-​law got her wedding dress altered at, and they quoted me $ 150. I understand that she is great at what she does but her prices are seriously steep. You can have the same work and quality done for less than half of what she quotes you.

Perfect. She is brilliant. I took my dress here after a horrible experience someplace else, and I should’ve gone here in the first place. She welcomed me and completely fixed my dress and made it even more beautiful. Take your wedding dress here!!! Amazing!

I had my wedding dress altered at Laura Alterations and it was worth every cent!
The costumer service was great, they are very pleasant, the location is easy to find and elegant.
My dress didn’t need many changes, but what was done came out perfectly!
My bustle came out gorgeous!
I totally recommend it!

This place was wonderful. The previous place I had my dress altered at completely messed up my bustle and couldn’t fix things that needed to be corrected. I came here less than 2 months before my wedding and they were able to alter my dress in time for my wedding and for a very reasonable price. They were able to fix all the issues with my dress and just did a wonderful job. I would highly recommend them to anyone that needs to get their wedding dress altered. They are professional and know what they are doing and they don’t overcharge you. So happy I found them!

I found Laura Couture Alterations online, and I’ve very happy that I used them to alter my wedding dress. The quality of the work was great! I needed a pretty significant amount of work done on my dress, including tightening the waist by a full size, shortening the straps, tightening the bust so that it didn’t bulge open, adding a bustle hook, and adding custom cap sleeves on the shoulders. It took a while for the seamstress to fully understand what kind of cap sleeve I was looking for, but my matron of honor finally explained it well enough. After the first round of alterations, the waist was WAY too tight. They had reallllly tightened it because the majority of my open-​back dress’ structure came from the waist, but I literally couldn’t breathe. It took a bit of convincing that the dress was significantly too tight (and that I wasn’t just surprised by the structure), but eventually we agreed to have it let out about ¼ inch. Overall, the alterations took two fittings, and the final product was PERFECT — snug, but not too tight, and the sleeves were gorgeous! I’m extremely pleased with the final product, and it fit great on the wedding day!
For the most part, everyone was very friendly and professional. However, after I made my first appointment about a month or so in advance, I called a few days prior to confirm but they had no record of my appointment. Fortunately, they had the same slot open, so it worked out. But that could have been very frustrating since their schedule fills up quickly. They also don’t like booking more than one appointment at a time, and they especially didn’t like booking far in advance. On top of that, their hours of operation aren’t the best. I understand that they don’t want to work late, but many brides have full-​time jobs and can’t get to a fitting before 5:00pm anyway, so I believe they should reconsider their hours… Apart from that, they were easy enough to work with. The store is also in an odd place, the fourth floor of an office building. It’s not terribly chic, but I imagine rent in the Galleria area is probably pretty expensive. Regardless, the quality of the work done speaks volumes above the office building and the hours. The overall cost was also VERY reasonable considering the amount of work I had done.
I loved my final dress, and I would definitely recommend them to other brides.

Carime did an amazing work on my dress! I purchased my gown in a size 6 and she was able to take my silk satin gown down multiple sizes, and even gave it a trumpet look that I wanted. I could not have asked for more with Laura’s Alterations and Couture! While the alterations are a bit pricey, the end product was 110% what I had envisioned for my wedding day. The week before my bridal portraits, I asked to make some last minute adjustments, and they were able to accommodate every wish, and had my dress ready several days before I needed it. They made all my worries go away each step of the way.

Not just good, but perfect alterations for high-​end needs. I had my silk, Lazaro wedding dress cut down from the sample size 8 to a guesstimate of about a 2. I never had any concerns about the work to be done and received customized attention while I was standing on that wooden box! They are very family oriented and were very patient when I had to bring my niece to some of the fittings (she’s a very well-​behaved 4 yr old, but she gets excited over wedding dresses too. :) The alterations were more expensive than I imagined, but you get what you pay for and I basically got a custom dress without tears of worry. (I read horror stories about some alterations on wedding sites… that will not happen here.) They also make custom sleeves, hairpins and they even made my veil. I loved my experience here and will recommend!

Wonderful alterations, specializing in wedding gowns! A friend of mine used Laura’s Couture for her wedding dress, and recommended them to me. Her dress fit so well that I knew Laura’s couture was the place for me. The seamstress knew exactly how to make my dress fit my specific body type. She listened to all my concerns, and was very attentive to all the little details. My dress is full lace, and I was worried about steaming it or, concerned about how we could modify the lace. At my first fitting all of those concerns went out the window. I felt confident that I was leaving my dress in very capable hands! The dress fit perfectly, felt great, and all of the beautiful lace remained impeccable! Worth the price to feel comfortable when putting your wedding dress in someone else’s hands.
Great customer service. Easy to schedule appointments. Would highly recommend.

After getting alterations done here, I received dozens of comments about how beautiful my wedding dress was, and specifically about how well it FIT. The bodice was absolutely perfect for my body, so much so that people actually commented on it. That is how good a job Laura’s did. Not only that, but I was stuck in rush hour traffic on the way to the shop, and they actually kept the shop open for a half hour past closing for me to do my final fitting. They also custom-​made my veil and it was PERFECT – a beautiful cathedral-​length masterpiece. I absolutely recommend them and would send my sisters, friends, daughters, anyone there for bridal alterations. I’m so glad I found this shop.
