Connie’s Bridal Alterations & Tuxedos

I believe this place is under new ownership. In my hunt for a wedding dress I am down to two and this shop has one of them. The person I worked with was extremely helpful and assisted with try ons. She was an alterations expert and was very honest about what could be altered without ruining the look of the dress. She gave me all kinds of options in terms of fast ordering a new size versus altering what they have. I had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend them. At Kazoo and 44^th area.

My friend and I went to Connie’s bridal shop looking for a wedding dress for her upcoming wedding. We were treated very well and were given excellent service. The prices on the dresses were very reasonable and there was a large selection of wedding dresses, formal dresses and quinceanera dresses as well. I would definitely recommend this place to others. We haven’t yet had anything altered, but our initial experience was great so we are expecting more of the same!

I would not recommended Connie’s. It seems she prefers «the easy way» to make alterations, rather than the best way. I wasn’t even measured; she just safety-​pinned the back of the dress, and when questioned if it wouldn’t be better to adjust both sides rather than just the back, she said yes, but that her way was easier. She removed all button detailing from the back of my gown without mentioning it, and even used one of the removed buttons for the bustle, which broke before the reception began. I was not satisfied with the fit of my gown and wish I had sprung for a more expensive alteration business. She waited until the very last minute to make the alterations (even though I had brought my gown in over a month in advance, and had wanted to two months in advance but she wouldn’t let me), so I felt I wasn’t even afforded time to make any further adjustments. Fortunately, the gown was of little importance to me compared to other details of the day, but knowing how important the wedding gown is to most brides, I have to say, please don’t choose Connie’s. But her prices are very reasonable, so I guess you get what you pay for.
