    Highly Recommended!

    Working with Elle Sisters Bridal & Formal Alterations was a game-changer for my wedding day. When I realized I needed my dress hemmed and taken in multiple sizes with just a month before the wedding, Kimberly and her team stepped up without hesitation to rush the job. She scheduled several appointments to get the fit exactly right, and during each one she focused on every detail to make sure the dress hugged my body perfectly. What really impressed me was her honesty—when I mentioned a dress I'd bought elsewhere, she told me it was hemmed too short and suggested I find something better, which I did. On top of all that, she steamed my veil for me without being asked. From start to finish, Elle Sisters was responsive, flexible, and genuinely invested in making sure I looked and felt amazing walking down the aisle.

    Worth every penny!!! Kim and Kevin were absolutely amazing when altering my dress. They were so kind and do excellent work. I cannot say enough kind words about them. I traveled all the way from southern Maryland to see them, the trip was totally worth it for the quality and dedication they provide! I'm so excited to finally wear my dress next weekend ♥️

    Kaitlyn, your excitement about finally wearing your gown has us smiling right along with you! ♥️ Thank you for trusting us with such a meaningful part of your wedding. Knowing you traveled from Southern Maryland when you could have chosen someone closer to home makes your trust especially precious to us. Those trips take time and patience, particularly with DMV traffic, and we appreciated the effort behind every visit. Once you arrived, our hope was that you could settle in, laugh a little, and enjoy watching your gown come together. We wanted your fittings to become a happy part of your wedding journey—moments you could look forward to. Hearing that the trip was worth it means so much to us. It has been a privilege to care for your gown and refine its fit to celebrate your natural silhouette. We would love to see a wedding photo of you wearing it, feeling comfortable, radiant, and beautifully yourself. Wishing you a wedding weekend overflowing with love, Kaitlyn. Thank you for letting us share in the anticipation of your beautiful day! With love & gratitude, Kimberly & Kevin | Elle Sisters The Finishing House for Bridal & Formal Alterations

    Kelly, thank you for your wonderful five-star review! Your support means so much to us. 🩷 We loved creating your adjustable corset and carefully refining the bodice to follow your natural silhouette. Giving you the freedom to tighten or loosen the fit was about more than shaping your dress—it was about helping it feel comfortably and beautifully yours. Thank you for trusting us with your dress and letting us care for those personal details. We put our hearts into our work, and your thoughtful support makes that work even more meaningful. You’ll always have a warm welcome with us at Elle Sisters! With love & gratitude, Kimberly & Kevin | Elle Sisters The Finishing House for Bridal & Formal Alterations

    I highly recommend Elle Sisters to any bride who is in need of wedding gown alterations. Kimberly was so very kind and lovely to work with. I met with her several times leading up to my wedding for fittings. She was very responsive and knowledgeable. On one of our last appointments she helped teach my mom how to assemble the intricate bustle on the back of my gown. Kimberly was so sweet and reassuring. My wedding dress couldn’t have looked more beautiful once she was done with it and it fit perfectly. The alterations were also very reasonably priced. Thank you so much Kimberly for your hard work!
