Rates & Services: Atelier de Costura/Modista
At Julia's Alterations we are specialized in making every dress or gown fit beautifully.
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
Julia's Alterations is no longer taking in and working on dresses made of GLITTERY fabric.
Why did our shop stop working with glittery gowns?
The glitter on the dresses comes off very easily and gets on the white and ivory wedding gowns we are working for other customers. The glitter also irritates the eyes and skin of the employees in the shop.
We apologize for any inconvenience this new policy may cause.
* PLEASE : bring your shoes and bra, any support garments for the first & second
fitting, that you are planning on wearing with your dress.
Fittings without these items will have to be rescheduled and may be subject to missed

Bridal gown appointments are for 1 hour.
