I was very picky on who I trusted to alter my wedding gown, and I am so happy I went with Sophisticated Fit! They did an amazing job with the alterations, always asked about details of the big day, and made each appointment an enjoyable experience. Highly recommend them for your alteration needs!

I bought my wedding dress from a boutique in Georgia where my mom lives. When I received it the lining placed in it was two sizes too small…as I took the dress home with me I was so worried and just didn’t know where to turn for alterations. I am so happy my mom and I found this shop. Denise was so pleasant to work with, she saw the worry in my eyes, and she tried to see how we can make it work, then boom! She said I know exactly what to do..she looked me in my eyes and said “you have a dress!” from that day on I felt reassured everything would be just right! And it turned out absolutely

What can I say! Had an amazing experience at this place! The staff are all professional and outstanding. I had my Mother of the bride dress altered there by Denise. She also did my daughter’s wedding gown which needed a lot of alteration. They both came out beautiful and perfect. I could not be happier. I know my daughter was beyond thrilled. Denise is a miracle worker. Their staff is so friendly and helpful, especially Tanya who helped us pick out our jewelry. Thank you so much for fixing our gowns and making my daughter’s day beautiful!

Had my first fitting August 5th. Told them what I didn’t like and wanted altered. They said no prob. Second fitting still wasn’t fixed voiced concerns again. Third fitting still wasn’t done and mentioned it and they told me they forgot to do it so to come back for a 4th fitting. Went to pick up today (5 days before wedding) and tried on still wasn’t done and they told me there’s nothing they can do. If it couldn’t be fixed I wish they would have let me know back in august. Now I’m stuck looking for a new dress or somewhere else to take it 5 days before my wedding and out $700.

I highly recommend using Sophisticated for any alteration needs. Denise altered my wedding dress for me and I could not have been happier with the results! She was extremely easy to work with and even had numerous tips to offer for the day of (best tip was to put clear nail polish over the rhinestones on my shoes so the dress didn’t snag on them). Throughout the entire process, Denise was very patient and made sure my dress fit like a glove by the end of my appointments.

Where do I begin?! If you’re looking for a talented and trustworthy seamstress look no further! These ladies are amazing! My wedding dress needed a lot of work and Denise worked magic. She made me feel comfortable every step of the way. She wanted me to feel beautiful and comfortable and she made my dress fit perfect! I had zero stress or worries about my dress leading up to wedding day because I knew she genuinely wanted it to look perfect as well. It truly was an amazing experience and I could not be more grateful! I will always bring my dresses to them moving forward, I’m so happy to have

Had my wedding dress and my mother’s gown altered here and we were both very pleased! They keep making adjustments until the fit is just right. My dress felt great and I felt the price was reasonable. They also replaced the belt on my dress for me and it looked beautiful. I was only able to have ceremony/small reception due to the pandemic...planning on having the big reception later this year and will be using Sophisticated Fit if any adjustments are needed on my dress!!

Where to begin?? We asked so much of the ladies at Sophisticated fit and they went above and beyond for us and treated us like family. They transformed my mom's wedding dress from the 80's into a beautiful rehearsal dinner dress for me. They made sure my wedding dress fit perfectly. They even had to spend over 6 hours making 19 (19!!!!) bustles for the detachable train on my dress so I could wear it for the first dance. It was not an easy task but they were nice enough to make our vision come to life. They also took the care and attention to make sure my mom's dress was perfect for the big day

I got my wedding dress at Claire’s across the street and they recommended Pam McBride from Sophisticated Fit. I read reviews online and everyone raved about Pam. From my first fitting, she was professional and caring and I knew I was in good hands. The dress turned out beautifully and fit me like a glove. The staff there is so nice and they really make you feel special. I highly recommend Pam for wedding dress alterations.

I had a beyond fabulous experience with Sophisticated fit! I was in love with my wedding gown but it had a very low cut, they were able to take material from the length and add it to the top, it was absolutely flawless, you would have never known the dress was altered!! In addition to amazing alterations, I was driving myself crazy over accessories. During a fitting I tried on several sets of jewelry but didn't make a purchase at the time, the set I was leaning towards was sold but Pam and her staff were so thoughtful and ordered another set to have available for my final fitting. I am so thankful
