After receiving a quote of $500 + a rush charge for alterations from my dress store, I found out about Mahtab and placed a call... she accommodated me quickly and easily, and did a fantastic job - for a FRACTION of the price I was quoted from the dress shop.
Not only did she save me money and a BIG headache, she only needed to do 1/2 of what the dress shop said would be needed to make my dress absolutely perfect.
I will return to Mahtab to alter a bridesmaid dress I'm wearing for a wedding in August, and highly recommend her services.

I bought my lovely dress at Alfred Angelo and then went on to recommend them to several friends. We had a short engagement and I wanted a casual dress appropriate for our Vegas wedding and cocktail party reception... the dress I chose came in both a wedding dress and bridesmaid dress style.
The shop informed me that their wedding gowns come in more quickly than bridesmaid dresses, and there was no way I could get order a bridesmaid dress style and have it in time (three months). I ordered a gown, and moved on.
I am in a friend's wedding, and based on my recommendation she went to AA Brea and ordered her gown... and had us order our bridesmaid dresses. This was two weeks after my wedding dress was ordered. One week later I placed my order for her BM dress, and IT CAME IN BEFORE MY WEDDING DRESS DID!
Once my wedding dress did arrive, I needed a few minor alterations... they quoted me $500 plus a rush charge for alterations before I even put the dress on for them to see. The dress only cost $600, and I was never told of a rush charge for alterations (I had 4 weeks until my wedding).
My last concern/complaint is that two days after I purchased my dress they had a sale, and I could've received $50 savings if I'd waited to buy it... and they never mentioned this to me. When I was back shopping for BM dresses with them I was told I could call the following week and get a credit toward my alterations... well, some good that did/does when their alterations were four times what I actually ended up spending elsewhere!
