Grace did an absolutely amazing job hemming my dress! It was a very last-minute request, and she worked quickly to make sure it was the perfect length in such a short amount of time. She was incredibly thoughtful, considerate, and detail-oriented throughout the process. I will definitely be going back to her for any future alterations and highly recommend her to anyone needing help with their bridal or bridesmaid dresses!

I met Cecelia when I purchased my 2nd wedding dress from Kora Bridal on February 24th. My original dress, which took 8 months to arrive from another shop, did not work for me. I needed another dress in a short timeline and fell in love with an off the rack dress at Kora. The dress was too small and needed to be completely remade. This was a huge project, which Cecelia took on for me! I really could not believe how hard she worked to make sure the new dress was perfect. She worked very long hours and worked very fast and remade nearly the entire dress from scratch!! I had the new dress ready in less than a month. She basically used the dress I purchased from Kora as a pattern to create a custom dress that fit me perfectly and was ready in time for my relocation from Southern California. I was blown away by how kind, hard working, talented and professional Cecelia was. Her shop was lovely and she was calming to work with. She went above and beyond my expectations in every way. My wedding dress was absolutely stunning thanks to Cecelia.

Grace at Cariño Bridal took great care of my wedding dress alterations! The bodice of my dress had quite a bit of beading and she was able to take out the bust and take in the waist (pretty significantly) to perfection. She was kind and patient working with me and was more than willing to answer any questions I had during the whole process.

Grace is amazing! TLDR: I highly recommend going to her!! She made sure I walked out with exactly the right alterations and had the perfect turn around time!

I ended up having to buy a last minute dress due to a different company failing to provide a dress I had purchased over 6 months prior. Needless to say when I called Grace I was quite a mess as I had just purchased my new dress and had exactly 1 month until the wedding. She was able to get me in TWO DAYS LATER <3. She went above and beyond, allowing me to come in three times in about two and a half weeks and take my dress home with the perfect amount of time to be relaxed in the last week and a half leading up to my wedding. I am so so so grateful to her and her team. Thank you for making what could have been an even more stressful scenario, easy AND made with care!

The ladies at Carino Bridal did an amazing job altering my wedding dress. I had four fittings to make sure my wedding dress was perfect. I also added sleeves to my dress and they matched perfectly. I highly recommend Carino Bridal Alterations & Design Studio.

Cariño Bridal Alterations and Design is truly world-class! Grace delivered exactly what we wanted—fast, thoughtful, and beyond our expectations. She even completed the work earlier than promised and reached out to offer an earlier appointment, allowing us to leave for our vacation sooner. Grace’s expertise is unmatched, and the final result was absolutely stunning. The shop is clean, spacious, with easy parking, making the entire experience stress-free. If you want perfection without any anxiety, this is where you need to go. We’ll never look for another dressmaker again!

I cannot say enough good things about Carino Bridal!! They saved my dress! I had several rounds with another alterations shop (an ultra high-end store) where they did not treat my satin silk fabric delicately and made the dress too tight, then too loose. I had no idea how difficult my "simple" silk dress would be to alter.

When the other store told me they couldn't take in the bust area or alter the straps, Carino Bridal said no problem! Carino Bridal fixed my dress just days before my wedding, and they went above and beyond to make sure it fit just right! I wish I'd worked with them from the beginning and would recommend them to any bride.
