    Efficient and professional

    Le Caprice was very efficient and easy to work with. Marina had a great eye for what would match my dress. She recommended a bustle style that complemented my dress better than the traditional bustle (originally recommended by another vendor). She also helped me pick out the perfect veil!

    Excellent!

    Le Caprice was fantastic. They came recommended to me by the (also excellent) vendor that made my wedding dress, and they did not disappoint! I worked with Marina, who is a true expert and so efficient. I had taken my dress to another tailor (a great tailor but not wedding-dress-specific, which was a mistake) and was not happy with how they proposed doing the bustle; it didn't look right. I came in to Le Caprice with 3 weeks to my wedding day (not a timeline I would recommend for alterations) and needed to raise the lace applique neckline on my dress, take in the waistline, and add a bustle. Marina worked with me to make the new lace neckline blend seamlessly with the existing neckline and took in the waistline the perfect amount. She also figured out how to bustle the dress in about 20 seconds, and it looked GREAT! I highly recommend going to a wedding-dress-specific tailor for any alterations to a wedding dress, and I cannot recommend Le Caprice enough. They saved the day! Five out of five stars.

    Le Caprice's reply:

    Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are so pleased to hear that Marina was able to address your needs and do the alterations in a timely manner. We do consider her a magician around here and are happy you felt good in your dress with a perfect fit, bustle and neckline. You look beautiful and we love to see a happy bride! Congratulations and thank you so much from all of us here at Le Caprice Bridal

    100% recommend

    So glad that I used them to alter my wedding dress. Marina was lovely to work with from start to finish. A true professional. My dress fit like a glove but was still so comfortable and easy to move in. The bustle she suggested was absolutely the right choice and looked gorgeous. Marina was also kind enough to add cups to my engagement photo dress. She was always easy to schedule with and was very responsive via email. Highly recommend!

    Beautiful and perfect wedding dress

    Le Caprice is AMAZING! I loved how my Wedding dress turned out. We got married at Lake Oak Meadows in Temecula on March 24th. When I ordered my dress, it ended up being wayy too big for me. I was honestly a bit worried about how large the dress was on my body.

    When I went to Le Caprice, they were so easy to work with and instilled confidence that they were able to alter my dress. Everything turned out beautifully! They are so easy to work with, the price is very reasonable, and their work is so beautiful.

    I highly recommend Le Caprice! Thank you Team :)

    Professional and prompt wedding dress alterations

    Marina altered my wedding dress, including hemming, taking in the straps and the bust, and adding a bustle. She took care of everything very professionally and skillfully, and with only a few weeks to go until the wedding. I'd recommend her work!

    Excellent Service and Experience!

    Marina and her team at Le Caprice are exceptional. As a plus sized bride I was worried I might have trouble finding someone who could tailor a dress to my body type. However, Marina's attention to detail and listening to my concerns really took away the stress of bridal alterations! I will be returning to Le Caprice for future alterations and will be recommending Marina's services to my upcoming friends and family who are brides to be!

    Le Caprice did a great job

    Marina did a lovely job altering my wedding dress! My wedding dress was a sample, and she added cups, took it in, and hemmed the length for me, and the dress fit like a glove. Her alterations were professional, timely, the cost was reasonable, and she was nice about rescheduling my appointments and moving them up when my flights to the city I was getting married in changed. She also gave me honest advice on whether I should get the sample cleaned which I appreciated. In short, I highly recommend Marina and Le Caprice for all of your bridal alterations needs!

    Le Caprice's reply:

    Hello Shelly,
    Thank you so much for the great review. I am glad you are happy with the alterations. Its good to hear everything worked out for you, especially in these uncertain times! I love these photos, the dress fits you so well!

    Thank You Marina!!

    Marina and her team are great! I had my wedding dress altered and my veil cleaned/pressed before my wedding and both looked amazing. My dress fit me perfectly and I will be taking any and all future gown/dress alterations to Marina (as will my Mom who also had her dress perfectly altered).

    For my final fitting I had quite the crowd with me (Mom, Sister, Grandma, Aunt and future Mother In Law) and she was able to accommodate us all! After the final fitting and all the excitement I was very worried about a few minor points on the dress that weren’t fitting just right - I called Marina and she told me not to worry and to come right back in - turns out I had pulled my dress down a little too far when I put it on and it actually did fit perfectly (provided I put it on correctly!). Marina was terrific and so calm and reassuring when I came back in (with just my Mom this time).

    She also has a beautiful collection of accessories and we were able to find earrings that fit my dress and my Mom’s dress perfectly!

    Le Caprice's reply:

    Thank you Sarah for your lovely review and beautiful photos! We appreciate you taking the time to write such a detailed and complimentary account of your experience at Le Caprice. Let us start by saying that we are so happy we could address all your needs regarding your dress down to the very last detail. We want to make sure our Brides feel comfortable and beautiful on their wedding day and it sounds like Marina made sure that happened when she did not hesitate to have you come back in after your final fitting. Thank you for mentioning our collection of accessories too! We are very pleased to hear that you Mom was happy with our services as well and your family felt welcomed in for your final fitting. We look forward to seeing you again!
    Congratulations and Stay Well
    Sincerely, Marina and Staff

    Fast service, beautiful work

    My dress was absolutely stunning thanks to Le Caprice! She worked quickly and the value was excellent. I am so glad I worked with her!

    Trust her!

    My friend who used Marina for her wedding referred me to Marina, saying that Marina's does an amazing job and is much more reasonably priced than the quote she has gotten from her wedding dress boutique. My dress needed adjustment on the straps, the chest area, and also the hip area. I also need to add a bustle to my dress. Marina quickly identified those areas and pinned it in a way that works. She also made other suggestions (such as adding horse hair to the hem so the hem wouldn't curve inwards) which were good and completely glad that I took her advice. She finished the job perfectly and on time. I tried on the wedding dress one time and it was perfect - no further adjustment needed. The bustle stayed on all night including 2 hours of crazy dancing. I'm very impressed with Marina and would highly recommend her.

    Thank you, Marina!


    Marina is THE BEST at altering wedding dresses. Her prices are fair (and significantly lower than other quotes I received in the area), she is professional, quick, and skilled. She was recommended to me by a coworker who also used her to alter her wedding dress. At one point after purchasing my dress, I was worried I didn't really like it, but after the alterations I realized I was just not liking how it was (not) fitting me. She hemmed my dress (which had lots of lace), took in the chest and sides, added cups, and created a bustle. I was very happy with how the dress turned out. Thank you Marina!

    I went along with a friend for a fitting and we had a wonderful time. There is a great selection of dresses and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable. I already had my dress, but I did find a beautiful head piece to wear! Highly recommend!

    Marina is absolutely heavenly to work with and extremely fair priced - she is so lovely, her shop is beautiful (and has many beautiful things) and she is one of the most talented seamstresses I have ever worked with! She altered my Pronovias Couture bridal gown for a June wedding in Hawaii and it was not a simple task (Pronovias was also going to charge me an arm and leg to do and she did for probably less than half the cost). I had a couple of custom items done outside of the normal alterations including having the original, high lace neckline cut into a sweetheart neckline, a belt sewed into the dress and she also did a custom, french bustle that was stunning (so many people complimented the bustle). She executed every part perfectly and the dress was a very delicate applique over a nude lining + beading.

    In addition, she helped me select my veil and all of my day of jewelry of which she has such sophisticated taste - she has a really good eye for what will perfectly compliment your dress. She was also able to help me find my sequined, white 'after party' dress which I actually ended up wearing most of the reception (it's like she knew the vision in my head and ordered the exact dress to fit it! I had looked so many places and couldn't find exactly what I wanted until her...).

    It can also not be underestimated, how kind she was throughout the whole process which all brides know can be a stressful time and a kind soul is always welcomed :) I would undoubtedly recommend her to anyone and everyone and I have already sent a couple of brides her way! There is no one in the Bay Area that will do a more lovely and expert job with your dress! She also ended up altering one my bridesmaid's dresses + picked out the perfect belt for her as well as my mother in-law's dress. If I need anything of importance altered in the future - Marina is your gal and totally worth the drive from the city!

    I went here to get my ballgown wedding dress altered. I was incredibly nervous. After my first fitting I was feeling a lot more relaxed and confident. She pinned my dress in ~20 minutes (all 30 million layers). She adjusted the strapped, added bustle, added cups and suggested we take the dress in on the second fitting. Second fitting came around and the dress fit almost perfectly - the hem had to come up a little more but that was it! Picked up my wedding dress and veil the day before the big day and everything was steamed and pressed. She made me feel comfortable and I'm so happy I trusted her with my dress! Wonderful job.

    What an easy process for getting my dress altered! I was in and out in under 15 minutes for the initial and final dress fittings. Great prices. Also altered my mom's dress perfectly. She added in cups, tightened waist, added boning, and adjusted straps.

    Marina was so much fun to work with all through the process! She has such a great attitude, and did everything with remarkable speed! She helped us alter two dresses: the wedding dress (of course), and a smaller, simpler dance dress. We just had full confidence that she knew what she was doing, and that the seamed and altered dresses would look perfect. We went in for two fittings, and were in-and-out within minutes both times, thanks to how efficient she is!

    When we picked up the wedding dress and veil the day before the wedding, they were both fully steamed and virtually creaseless! The dress just looked so perfect and fit the bride perfectly (it was originally far too long).

    Thank you Marina for helping us with alterations for our wedding. We’re so incredibly lucky to have had you help us create these important memories, and we wholeheartedly recommend Le Caprice to anyone planning their wedding!

    The funny thing is I never met with Le Caprice but my gown cleaner (National Gown Cleaners) had them do repairs after the wedding date to fix a few tears. The cost of the repairs was very reasonable and I had a chance to see the work before the gown was boxed. I couldn't even tell there had been any damages done beforehand. They did an awesome job and I really appreciate that they worked with my gown cleaner so I didn't have to manage it myself. Thanks to the folks at Le Caprice!

    Marina did a wonderful job altering my wedding dress and another formal dress. I had purchased a simple lace wedding dress online, and it was much too large when it arrived. Marina altered it to the perfect fit and length. Both dresses were ready on time and the price was reasonable. Marina's work was perfect and I didn't have a single worry about the dress on the day of the wedding.

    She has many dresses and accessories in her shop, they're worth a look!

    Marina is wonderful! I bought a sample dress that looked beautiful in the store, but I panicked as soon as I tried it on at home. 2 of me could easily fit in it and it was way too long for me, looked nothing like what I remembered seeing in the store. I did a lot of research and found Le Caprice. Marina took me in right away and told me everything would be just fine. I had several fittings where she made sure everything was going well and presented me with options. She taught me how to lace up the dress. We made a lot of changes and even raised a jeweled piece of the skirt so it would look just as beautiful on a short girl as it does on the model. She even cleaned the dress and fixed some of the loose pieces for free. I picked up the dress about a week before the wedding and it was perfect! Fit beautifully. She also made me a custom veil that was incredible and worked well with the dress, I plan to keep it forever.

    Marina is awesome! She had to take in 4 inches of my dress because I had lost a lot of weight after I bought it from Bay Area Bridal. Marina took it in a little more than needed because I was still loosing and on the wedding day the dress fit PERFECTLY!

    Marina knows her stuff. I took my David's Bridal dress there to get it altered and bustled. It didn't need a whole lot of alterations, but Marina really enhanced what was already there. We had taken it somewhere else for alterations before her, but she wasn't super helpful. Her prices are fair for the services you get. They also had some pretty jewelry for sale in her shop. My mom also took her dress here to get altered and was happy with it.

    Marina is amazing! I met her and have been working with her for over a year now. She did an amazing job with my wedding dress and now I send all of my friends to her! She is patient, reasonably priced, and a delight to be around. Love this place!
