I got my wedding gown taken in and bustled here 3 months away from my wedding. She did an amazing job, is so friendly, helpful, and organized. She broke down the pricing and was definitely one of the more affordable places I found as well.
I came in for the initial fitting and then one month later came in for my second fitting and then finally I picked it up a few days before my wedding and luckily everything was perfect! My dress was strapless, so I was nervous about it falling down throughout the day and it did not, but it also wasn't too tight.
If I ever need anything else altered in the future, I will for sure be coming here!!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Destin F.Arlington, VA146505May 19, 2023
A bit more expensive than other options but very much worth it. I had a pair of expensive jeans hemmed to perfection and also a sequin dress that had bell sleeves on it adjusted so that it was no longer a bell sleeve and she was able to do both perfectly without me having to try them on- I had already marked the jeans and stuck a note on them and the sequin bell sleeves were perfect. You would think this is a no brainer but I have had issues at many places that have been recommended to me that were way more expensive and they didn't turn out so well.
I wish I had found this place before I did. I walked past it everyday for yrs and had no idea.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - 1691212886Sep 18, 2022
The dress of my dreams came back in stock and I overnighted it, but then had to go through the process of finding someone to adjust the length for me. I called all over the greater DC area and she was the only one who could turn a dress around in three weeks time -- and I mean I contacted everywhere! Miss Kim was sweet, understood exactly what needed to be done to the dress and charged WAY less than other places in DC and the work was just as good, if not better.
My wedding dress looked amazing thanks to Miss Kim and I felt incredible on my big day. She helped alleviate so much stress around the process. I will come back to her for alterations!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 1 - Jackie L.Fordham Manor, NY290122Apr 5, 2023
I went to Fashion Dream for my wedding dress alterations. Mrs. Kim executed the vision for my dress, from taking it in, reconstructing the bust, adding boning, and tailoring the length. It came out better than I ever imagined and fit me perfectly. I would recommend for any job big or small and will definitely be returning in the future for alterations.

My daughter and I needed to hem our formal dresses we planned to wear to my sons wedding.
The tailor measured us and told us to pick up in three weeks, which we did.
Her workmanship was exquisite especially when you consider how filmy , delicate & intricate the fabric of our dresses were.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - John S.Washington, DC07Dec 27, 2023
Had my jeans altered, they did a fantastic job. Unfortunately quite pricey. Would recommend, however

I've come to Fashion Dream with every bridesmaids dress I've ever worn, as well as my wedding dress. Mrs. Kim is meticulous, fast, and so sweet! During the Covid spring of 2021, she let me bring my mom and my sister to my final wedding dress fitting which I really appreciated! I trust her with all of my tailoring needs and always feel like I'm getting a good value.

Mrs. Kim absolutely knows what she is doing, as she has been doing this for years! She is the sweetest lady and is so helpful.
If you have a wedding BHLDN dress from Anthropologie, she has probably done hundreds of these and know how they sit on the body. For instance, she is adding more structure on the sides of my strapless dress because she knows it will fall a bit and this will help keep it up as I am slimming down.
Will bring all my other items to her in the future whenever I need any adjustments!!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Tam N.Burke, VA02Jun 5, 2023
Ms. Kim always does an awesome job with my alterations in a quick and timely fashion. She has hemmed up pants including jeans and taken in various shirts and jackets beautifully. I highly recommend her services.
