Francine Fashion & Bridal

I took my dress to this tiny shop in the heart of Little Saigon and was so pleased with the result. I didn’t have a problem not being Vietnamese and being able to communicate because the seamstress spoke decent English. I just had my bust line tightened, and a single bustle sewn. They were done within a week and only cost me $40. I thought this was extremely reasonable given that my dress has extensive beading.

Since everyone told me I couldn't get my dress alter for less than $100, I thought I would check this place out first (Thanks Misslaw). The price was unbelievable and the service was great for an Asian place! I also saw other brides while I was there so that was a good sign.

I got my bust taken in (bust area is beaded), my hem shorten, and added the breast pads... all for $80! My BM got the hem shorten for $25. Turnaround time quick. Quality great for the price. There were loose threads hanging when I picked up the dress and they cut them off after they steamed the dress but they didn't do a thorough job. But for $80 I can cut the thread myself!
