It was wonderful to work with Karime and Laura- they took good care of me and listened to my concerns and ideas about how I wanted my dress altered. Karime is one of the best Houston area tailors and made my gorgeous dress fit like a glove!

Her bustles are especially pretty and unique- I've never seen a bustle that makes the dress look even prettier like hers do!

We were so impressed that we asked her to alter my mothers dress also.

I would definitely recommend this vendor to anyone who needs quality alterations and great service.

She is wonderful. I bought my dress from a consignment shop and it was several sizes too large. She altered it perfectly and took out several petticoat layers to make it seem like it was made for me. I would recommend her to anyone based on her skill alone, but the fact that she is so nice and sweet makes her services all the more better.

I would highly suggest going to Karime. She does high quality work and is very affordable. I've known other brides whose alterations cost MORE than their dress! That is just ridiculous and there is no need for that. Her bustles are obsolutely gorgeous and I can't wait for everone to see my dress. I have two other friends who have used Karime, and I plan on spreading the word to any other friends who are getting married! Thanks Karime!

Karime is SOOO talented! My dress was beautiful before and even more beautiful when Karime got done bustling it and custom fitting it to my figure. Laura's Coutre alterations should be the first place you take you wedding dress to!

They did an amazing job and saved my wedding dress and day!

I too had read comments on wedding wire and heard all the good things other brides had to say about their alterations. So I drove all the way from the other side of town and I am so glad I did. I was very very happy with the outcome of my gown. I have a corset back gown that simply needed alterations for the length and a bussle; however she also altered a few sections in the bust area. It turned out very beautiful, I love my gown even more! She was very attentive to details and what I was comfortable with. I would recommend her to anyone.

Laura's Couture & Alterations were absolutely amazing! Karami is an absolute angel. She took my beautiful dress and made it into the most unbelievable gown I have EVER seen! She can do absolute anything you want and could ever dream of and has wonderful ideas. Not only can she do anything but she is so extremely wonderful to work with; not only her but her entire family! The only regret I have is that I will not be able to spend anymore time with her because she was such a joy to be around!

She was very friendly, professional and very understanding of what needed to be done. She made any changes that I wanted and she did not push me to get alterations that were not needed. She only did alterations that I wanted and that was great!. Her prices were also very affordable.

They were absolutely awesome!!!! They listened to everything that I wanted and made it happen. They are so creative when it comes to the bustling and was beyond amazing!!! I would highly recommend them to anyone I know!!!

I bought my dress at David's Bridal. I had tried on several dresses and loved the one I bought, except for one thing. It wasn't a sweetheart neckline. David's Bridal offered to "pin it" in the middle to make it "appear" sweetheart. I was nervous from the beginning to have David's Bridal do my alterations, so I took my dress to Princess Bridal in Spring, Texas. Karime with Laura's Couture & Alterations did an amazing job! It took one appointment for pinning and measurements, and at my second appointment it fit perfectly and the sweetheart neckline looked like it had been made that way from the start. My dress is PERFECT thanks to Karime. You can't trust just anyone with your dress, but brides you CAN trust this vendor!

I was referred to Laura'a Couture Alterations from the bridal salon I purchased my wedding gown. From the very first visit to my last, Fabio and Laura made me feel right at home. They were very professional and a delight to work with. Not to mention my dress fit me like a glove!

AMAZING! THIS IS ONE TALENTED FAMILY! She created my dress and beautiful alteration...(looks SO different from the original and WAY better). Her daughter did my AMAZING HAIR!!! Everyone LOVED LOVED LOVED every part of my looks :-D ...especially me!

My dress fit perfectly and it's all because of Laura's Couture & Alterations. She did an amazing job and very quickly too I might add. I don't know how she does it but I highly recommend taking your dress here so that she can work her magic.

Karime Morales is a wedding dress genius. I ordered a dress from Encore Bridal (if you want a designer dress in perfect condition for a fraction of the price, this is your place) online - it was a beautiful Jenny Lee dress, but it didn't fit (I didn't expect it to). Karime altered it beautifully and created the most gorgeous bustle. I have 2 other friends getting married this year, and both opted to go with Karime at Laura's Couture and Alterations rather than having alterations done at the bridal salons where their dresses were purchsed. She will clean your dress, as well (mine had a few dirty spots after bridal portraits), and is so kind and professional. I would highly recommend having alterations done by her!

I would highly recommend LAURA'S COUTURE & ALTERATIONS to Brides. Before I had my alterations done I felt like my dress could have been anyone’s. Once alterations had been done I felt like my dress was made for me!!!

They did a wonderful job on my alteration. They were quick and reasonably priced for what I had done.

Laura's Couture had the tough job of re-doing my dress after another seamstress altered it incorrectly. She was very patient and professional. I thought that I would have to start over and get a new dress, but she was able to save the dress. She had to re-do all of the beading and reopen the dress to make new alterations. She was wonderful to work with.

Excellent experience! The alterations were perfect for both the wedding dress and the mother of the bride dress! Would highly recommend!

Very awesome, dress fit perfect after the first round of alterations. She is a very talented woman.

Karime and her daughter were nothing less than WONDERFUL!!!!

Highly recommend! Wonderful work, professional, timely...excellent value!

All I can say is that the wedding gown I brought to her for alteration came out better than when it was not yet altered. She seemed like she had a magic wand that fixed ALL the parts of the gown that needed to be fixed. It felt so good when I tried it on and I am excited to wear it coz I know that the gown is perfectly fitted on me. Karime, more power to you! You are soooo good!

Joy

Karime was amazing! She took the time to make sure every part of my dress was perfect. My hem and bustles were very complicated and she made them to look beautiful.
My mother and I had different ideas for the dress and in the end we were extremely satisfied and all for a reasonable price. I will recommending my friends to her in the future. Thank you so much :)

You are absolutely amazing, my dress was a sample and you made it look even better than new. It feels like it was made just for me, I can't thank you enough for your kindness, professionalism and overwhelming talent !
Would recommend you to anyone, thank you so much.

So happy I found you to let out my Ulla Maija Couture Gown! Neither of us thought we would get it to fit, but Karime made miracles happen! Thank you again!

Thyra C.

I would like to extend my thanks to Karime, the alterations she made to my wedding dress were so elegant. The experience was enjoyable and so stress free. I would advice anyone looking to get there wedding dress altered to go with Laura's Couture & Alterations.

Karime, you did such an amazing job with the bustle on my wedding dress... i cannot wait for my fiance to see how beautiful it is on our wedding day.We shopped around quite a bit , but the moment i met you, we knew we were in the right place and in great hands, it was a pleasure working with you both, thank you.
Mega Lavin, Conroe TX

Christine Scardino, Houston, TX

Thank you so much! the changes to my dress were perfect! very professional and sweet. I really enjoyed working with you both.
Amanda Smith, Houston, TX 77057

What a fabulous job. She had to replace zipper with an insert that laces up. The insert looked better than the original. Her coding on the bustle was easy to follow and the pleats cascaded beautifully.
Sara Cummings Spring, TX

She does the most amazing work! My dress fit better than I ever expected. I will recommending her to everyone.
Laura Sims, Katy, TX

Laura's Couture and Alterations did a GREAT job with my dress. I was nervous about having it altered because it's all lace with beading, but they really knew what they were doing. They got it done quickly (a month after the first fitting, I went in for the second fitting and got to take home my dress!), and the price was affordable. Their office is a little hard to find because there's no sign for them outside the office building, but otherwise, great experience!

Wonderful experience!!! I've been telling everyone that she is absolutely magical! I got my dress from Alfred Angelo, and girls be warned. Between flower girls, bridesmaid, and my dress we worked with Alfred Angelos in 4 different cities and states and ALL of the dresses were measured wrong, therefore alterations would have to cost a lot more. Crooks. Laura's Couture did a wonderful job taking in my dress! On my first fitting it felt 22 sizes too big. By my second fitting I felt like a princess! It looked like she changed my body rather than the dress my waist looked so small! She really knows a woman's body. She put a button on the top of the dress so it can't go too tight and give me bulging back fat, but made it so the waist can be pulled nice and tight! I don't know how she did it, but it beyond exceeded my expectations! She even packaged it up for me so that I can travel to my destination wedding with it. Love, love, love Laura's Coture!

Karime did a wonderful job on my dress. It fits like it was made especially for me. She was also very patient and did two additional sppointments with me so that I could add some beading to my dress. I would recommend her to anyone.

Thank you! You guys did a wonderful job altering my dress and adding a bustle. I was very happy with your service and quality of work. Everything was done in a timely manner and looked great. Definitely get your dress altered here!

Their service was wonderful and very affordable! I got a really good deal on my dress that I purchased online and was afraid I needed to spend a fortune to get it pressed and bustled. Laura's couture came to my rescue! Actually found several things that needed to be fixed on the dress and all for a very reasonable amount! Their not commercialized, the office is actually in a home and still keeps the professionalism you would expect. I would definitely recommend them to all my future bride friends!

Dear Karime
i just want to say thank you for everything!!! u did a most wonderful job on the alterations on my dress, my bussle is beautiful! My vail is perfect, it looks exactly like the one i showed u! thank u so much for your hard work!

I was a first time client of this company so was not sure what to expect. The rave reviews online coupled with the very convenient location sealed the deal for me since I did not have time to research a lot of places.

Karime and her staff were very nice and efficient. She made a lot of alterations for me and though I don't know how her prices compare with other companies it seemed reasonable given how much work was involved (shortening of a floor length gown, adding bra cups, taking in a lot of the waist/hip area, and retaining all of the awesome ruched/folded fabric in the style). I think I paid about $150.

I will be returning for another bridesmaid dress alteration in May.

Laura Couture and Alterations did a fantastic job on my dress. They took in the top a bit as well as the bodice and it looks great. They also put in an American bustle and did a great job - they even color-coded all of the buttons and fasteners so that it would be easy to figure out. Thanks to Karima and her daughter Laura.

Karima did an awesome job on my wedding dress. I loved the bussel and the diamond waistband that she added to the dress. It made my dress look and feel like one of a kind! I highly recommend Laura's Couture & Alterations.

"Very experienced seamstress . The workmanship was excellent. Very pleasant to work with. The items were ready when promised, and I never had to wait during my appointment time. I would highly recommend." Lelys Pace. Houston

I don't like being the person to write the lowest review for a vendor, but I feel like I did not get the same level of service that the rest of the reviewers here did and I feel like people need to know that even someone as highly rated as Laura's Couture can screw up and totally ruin your wedding planning experience.

When we first went to Laura's they were still in a tiny little house with the seamstress shop in the back. They were in the process of moving and the seamstress, Karma, was sick, so she was probably not on her A-game. I was measured and fitted and pinned and everything went swimmingly, though she forgot to put cups in the dress until the last second, which might be where all my problems started. I live in Austin but we're getting married in Houston, so we came back to town a month later to their new location in the Galleria area and tried on the dress with the alterations. It fit well everywhere except for the bodice which was so tight around the chest I couldn't breathe and had skin rolls in the back when we fastened the eyelets at the top of the zipper. She told me that she would let it out half an inch and that I didn't need to come back to town to try it back on but that my mom, who lives in Houston, could pick it up a week later. Agreeing to that was a huge mistake and we never should have done it.

Two weeks later I was back in town and tried the dress on at my parents' house and it was STILL way too tight around the bodice. She hadn't let it out at all and I know what you're thinking and no I did not gain any weight. I took it seriously when she told me to not gain or lose weight and had been monitoring myself very carefully. Because it was a Sunday we had to make another appointment for the next weekend and I had to drive to and from Houston in one day to make it work with my schedule. At the appointment that Saturday, Karma was nearly an hour late getting to us even though her husband/business manager kept telling us "she'll just be ten more minutes". When we finally got in, she remeasured me and then asked us to wait while she made the alterations right then and there which is exactly what should have happened the first time. When I tried the dress back on again I could FINALLY breathe in it and there were no skin rolls in the back. She had to keep the dress to make the alterations permanent, and when my mom went back to pick up the dress three days later the business manager/husband made her sign a waiver saying any more alterations were not the responsibility of Laura's Couture before he would give her the dress. That's fine because if Karma screwed up again we would be stupid to take it back to her, but it was still rude. We were not being unreasonable with our expectations and none of the alterations necessary were our fault.

Let this be a warning to anyone using any seamstress for their wedding dress: never, ever, ever, ever give payment in full for a dress until you are certain you are 100% satisfied with it. We were naive, thinking that because she is one of the highest rated on weddingwire that we could trust her that much. Don't trust any vendor that much and avoid the frazzled nerves and extreme annoyance that we had to go through. Wedding planning is hard enough without experiences like this.

My 1st fitting was done and I had returned for the 2nd fitting to find my dress was not completed. The waistline was not sewen back together and they had to quickly finish it before giving it back to me. Had an appointment Feb 29th at "home address" only to find out they had moved. No communication given on change of address. They tried to tell me I was told when I called for my appointment (all my appointments were made at the shop except for the 1st one). Was told change of addresss was posted to website, but I had no reason to go to website if I had an appointment already. Was told they would meet me at a "gas station" to pick up dress, as I refused to go to the Galleria area (I dont go anywhere in the downtown/Galleria areas ever by myself). They informed me I was for pressing only, but as it turns out, I needed to have the entire dress altered with a lace up corset to have it fit (I needed another fitting).Was told they would refund $45 for the pressing of my dress, but have not seen any money from them.
Also, I wish to warn any other brides to watch where they have their "security" camera, I believe I was watched at the old address as the camera was pointed directly at the changing area that was curtained off.
