My dress came out amazing! I didn’t want to cut any off the train and she was able to attach 25 under bustles on the lining and a tooth apple bustle for the lace outside that make the dress so flowy and comfortable to wear! I highly recommend for your wedding dress alterations!

I came to Mansureh 2 weeks before my wedding with some last minute alterations needed on my dress. I had some concerns with the top of my dress and how it previously turned out. I did not have the original fabric but she found a great match with fabric that she had. She did an amazing job and you wo…uld never know that the fabric was not part of the original dress. Highly recommend if you need alterations on your wedding dress!
Added some photos from our wedding where you can really see the front of the dress (the added flower) and how great it looks!

Mansureh is truly one of a kind. Not only is she unbelievably talented, but getting to know her throughout the alteration process was such a special experience in itself. She shared stories from her life as a ballroom dancer and even working as a seamstress for Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis — I could h…ave listened to her for hours.
My wedding dress required difficult alterations, and she handled every detail with incredible skill and care. She even completely revised the bodice for me, and the final result fit more beautifully than I could have imagined. You can tell she takes immense pride in her work and genuinely cares about her brides.
I am so, so grateful for everything she did for me and truly cannot recommend her enough. If you need wedding dress alterations, do not go anywhere else. Just remember to take your shoes off at the door 😉

Mansureh is the best seamstress for your wedding dress! I went to her based on her amazing reviews and I was so glad I did! My dress was custom and very difficult to take in but she did it perfectly and on time. Her prices are reasonable for her craft and expertise. She also took the time to explain… to me my options and how the alterations actually worked. Would reccomend her to any of my friends! I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my wedding dress, she is truly a master of her craft.

I cannot say enough amazing things about Mansureh! She truly worked magic on my wedding dress. I had a few concerns—especially with the chest being more revealing than I was comfortable with—and she completely transformed it by carefully sewing individual lace flowers to give me the perfect coverage… while still keeping it beautiful and delicate.
She also created the most gorgeous bustle, with floral details that cleverly hide the clips—it’s stunning and so thoughtfully done. And the hem? Absolutely perfect.
I am beyond thrilled with how everything turned out and cannot wait to show it all off on my wedding day! 🤍

My dress could not be more beautiful, Mansureh had the best advice and made sure I was happy with my dress, along with having it completely done in two weeks. That way I was able to make sure it’s a perfect fit on my wedding day. She is incredibly knowledgeable and kind!

Mansureh did an amazing job tailoring my wedding dress. I was recommended by a coworker and she met all of my expectations. Her expertise was essential in planning the tailoring of my wedding dress! She always made me feel that my dress was in good hands.

Mansureh did a beautiful job altering and adding a bustle to my dress. She was really knowledgeable and caring and made sure that alternations didn’t impact the lightweight material of the dress. You could barely tell there was a bustle when it was pinned up. She added a bustle, added bra cups, hemm…ed it and brought it in a bit at the neckline. She took the time to teach a friend and I how to do the bustle to ensure it went smoothly on wedding day. It’s worth noting that she works very fast so there is less pressure to fit into a dress that had been altered early. I would absolutely recommend her bridal alternations to others!

I cannot say enough good things for Mansureh. My dress was difficult to alter - she had to do it fully by hand because of the beads. It was also quite big on me and had to be taken in, and let me tell you it fit like a glove!!! Her expertise and knowledge made this experience so fantastic. She share…d what was and wasn’t possible and it made all the difference to have that expertise. I LOVE my dress and it fit so so well.

I read the incredible reviews for Seams and Sew On and am thankful that I found Mansureh. She was able to alter my dress from David’s Bridal exactly how I wanted it! She said it would take two weeks so I got it right on time. She fixed it expertly and due to a bad zipper (low cost dress) she even to…ok out the zipper, replaced it with a new one, and added a secure bridal hook and eye and the row of beautiful buttons and hooks! She definitely takes all the care and heart she would have if you were her own daughter. She gave me wonderful European cookies as a treat to celebrate. Not only does she have decades of experience she is able to deliver the best quality! She’s the best! Thank you Mansureh!!
