Nancy's Bridal Tailor

May 2024

I bought the Quinseañera dress for my daughter with Nancy, a very kind lady with the best prices and products. I feel satisfied with the work done on the dress and the adjustments to my daughter's size. 100% recommended. Excellent service. Thank you, Mrs. Nancy. Very much satisfaction I will return next year to buy another girl's dress for her 15th birthday. I recommend it to you, Nancy, the best prices and products.

This tailor's shop was recommended by Sabrina Style, a formal dress shop in Newtown, CT (where I purchased a prom dress for my 17 year old). It's a small shop and Nancy, the owner, was who we worked with. I think she has other seamstresses but I didn't see any when we were there. She prefers for you to make appointments and I would recommend that during prom season. It's a little run down inside which was slightly off putting since the dress we bought was quite expensive. There's an awkward curtained off small space to change in right next to the raised platform that my daughter was uncomfortable changing in. So why did we stay? Nancy. My grandmother was an impeccable seamstress, and though she would never have tolerated her shop to be so disheveled if she'd had one , Nancy had the same look about her as my grandmother when she sewed- slightly frazzled, pins in her mouth, pins on her blouse, with a pincushion on her wrist. She looked like she was working hard to get a lot done in a short amount of time. She looked competent and busy.She didn't give us an estimate. I can't remember if I even asked. She was doing us a favor to get it done quickly. When we came to pick it up on the due date, she was frantically steaming the dress- I think she had just finished it. My daughter put it on and the first thing I noticed was that she had added a hook and eye above the zipper. My grandmother told me that only really good seamstresses did that and it was a sign they did good work. She had added a tiny hook on the back of the dress for the train of the dress - called a bustle- so you can keep it from dragging when needed without having to hold it up. My daughter was upset by this because she thought it was too noticeable and had asked her not to put one. But I thought it was probably a good idea and she'd end up being glad she had it. She'd done beautiful work converting a size 6 dress to a size 2 teenager. She charged $140 which I thought was a bit pricey and was unexpected (no estimate), but she had done it quickly and well so we didn't complain. So it's a good place to go for formal dress alterations. I docked her a star just because the shop was dingy and need a good deep clean and paint job. But I'm sure it was that way because she's just so busy. Give her a try- you won't be dissatisfied with her work.

I scheduled an appointment for pick up my dress and paid for parking waited about half an hour and the store remained closed. I called the business number multiple times and no answer. The next day I received a call to pick up my dress with no explanations and a new lady working. It was hard to communicate because no one spoke English. My dress came out decent though. I probably won’t be coming back because of the inconvenience.Services: Formal wear tailoring
