THANK YOU!!!!
You helped create such a wonderful evening and I cannot thank you enough. From start to BEAUTIFUL finish, working with Alicia was amazing! She took all my jumbled thoughts, ideas and materials and made my dream dress(es) come true. I really can’t say how much I appreciate all the work Vanya Designs put into my dress. I will be rating 100 stars everywhere I can!!

Alicia has great style and taste. When I went in initially and told her what I wanted she began sketching a picture of the dress I was looking for. She was also able to find the exact color of material I wanted. My bridesmaids dresses were everything I had pictured them to be. Thanks so much!
GUEST




Vanya Designs was amazing and made things so easy on me. My bridesmaid's dresses look beautiful and so did my mom's dress and my mother in law's dress. The price was great. LOVED everything!!! All my bridesmaids were from out of town and Alicia at Vanya Designs was very flexible with their schedules and mine!! I will never buy another dress, I will just have them made.
GUEST




Alicia was great throughout the whole process. I had many compliments on my dress. Alicia was a great contribution to my perfect day!! Thank you again Alicia!

Alicia was so incredible! When I walked into her shop I only had a photo. She created a sketch for me right then and I had a price for my dress within minutes! I loved having a custom dress! She added just the perfect features for me on my special day. I wanted a comfortable dress that I could look amazing in and she has delivered!

Alicia was great to work with. She was very flexible with the times for me to come in for my fitting. I only had 6 weeks from the time of my engagement to the day of my wedding and she designed and made my dress exactly how I described what I was wanting well within my time frame. I was very, very pleased with with way the dress turned out. She will be doing the alterations for my daughter's wedding dress later this summer. I will definitely be going back to her for any and all alterations or design needs that I have.

Alicia does an amazing job to make your dress everything you could have imagined. I had no idea my dress would turn out as beautiful as it did, I appreciate all the hard work she did on my dress and my families.

Alicia helped to make my wedding dress and bridesmaid dresses everything that I imagined. I picked out a pattern that I liked for bridesmaid dresses, and she brought them to life (only better). The wedding dress that I fell in love with had a corset back and she was able to take out the corset and insert a zipper. The dress looked like it was made that way!!
I would recommend Alicia to anyone! She is one of the most talented people I know

Alicia of Vanya Designs created the most lovely bridesmaid skirts for my wedding ! I had ordered some two-piece outfits which had lovely tops, but disappointing bottoms, and I wasn't sure what to do. But she was recommended to me and I am so happy I found her ! She was able to create the most fantastic design to match the tops, and the bridesmaids looked just beautiful in them. Her work is very good, professionally done, custom made, and I will always use her again in the future for any design needs.

When I picked up my wedding dress, I found out that it was a size too big. I took my dress to Alicia who did a wonderful job. She actually had to take 4 inches out of the sides and hand sew the beds back on the dress. The work was very professional and my dress fit like a glove - perfect. I have had more compliments on how fabulous my wedding dress looked in the pictures than anything else. I would highly reccommend her.

I found bridesmaids dresses online, I took the picture to Alicia and she customized the design to the color scheme I wanted for my wedding. The dresses were beautiful!! All day long I got compliments on them, people couldn't believe someone made them! They were amazed! One of my bridesmaid's was from out of town, Alicia worked around her schedule. She came in the day before the wedding to get fitted and was willing to do the alternations the day before if the bridesmaid needed it done. (Which she didn't) I bought my wedding dress at David's Bridal and had Alicia do the alterations. She is very affordable, kind, and flexible. She wants to make the bride happy and it shows in her attention to detail!!

Alicia was an absolute joy to work with, she maintained the same excitement level as us while we planned for my dress. I had an old dress that we chopped and added some color too to make uniquely mine. I told her what I wanted and she made it a reality in a matter of weeks. We made major adjuistments to the dress including adding a corset, beading, lace and satin all for less than a traditional dress would cost! Everyone loved the work she did and was amazed at how unique it was , I am so happy I could make it my own without having to give her sketches etc. I simply gave her my ideas and she made it perfectly, she pulled it right out of my head, and it even inspired some brides to model their dress off of it!
GUEST




Working with Alicia on my wedding and bridesmaids dresses was delightful. She designed and created four beautiful dresses that were everything that I desired. Alicia was able to go above and beyond with her attention to detail in all the dresses. She was also very supportive and flexible with me during the entire wedding planning process. I would highly recommend her to anyone that is planning to create a unique wedding dress that highlights their personality.
GUEST




Alicia was excellent! She custom-made the bridesmaid and flower girl dresses for my wedding. I just told her my idea, she found a beautiful fabric and created the dresses that I wanted and they looked beautiful! She also made 2 ties from the dress fabric for our ushers to wear. Alicia altered my wedding dress and my mother's dress for the wedding as well. Her work was beautiful and very well done. She was professional, returned calls quickly, and was very flexible to meet everyone's schedules for the dress fittings. I would recommend Alicia to anyone! My sister is also going to be using her services for her wedding coming up this summer because we were so pleased with her work!

Alicia was exceptional to work with. I was down to the wire 3 months before my wedding I still did not have a dress. I had a bad experience with David's Bridal and didn't know what I was going to do. Alicia was very attentive to the style I was after and made me completely comfortable knowing that my dress would be perfect and finished on time. She had my dress finished within a month and it was gorgeous. It fit me perfectly and I was able to see the dress in process, unlike ordering it from a bridal shop and not knowing for sure how it would fit or if I would even like it when I received it. She even altered each one of my 5 attendants dresses. I would highly recommend Vanya Designs for any of your alteration needs, especially for your big day!

Alicia works magic! She produces amazing, quality work. She made my wedding dress, my bridesmaids dresses, and has done hem work for me also. I'm so impressed with the outcome everytime. She is professional and is a true master of her craft. You simply cannot beat her attention to detail! I highly recommend Vanya Designs for any type of design or custom sewing!!
GUEST




Alicia was great! She even let me come in on one of her days off! Thanks Alicia!

Alicia is completely amazing! I was in a panic when we found out we were pregnant a couple months after buying my expensive dream wedding dress. The dress was even technically a half a size or so too small for me to begin with and now I was going to be 5 1/2 months along at the wedding. But Alicia is a magician, she made my dress fit beautifully. Even though we didn't keep it a secret, many of our guests were amazed how "not-obvious" my baby bump was :) which was a bonus. I am so thankful I could still wear my dress and it is all because of her talent. I felt so beautiful, comfortable, and perfect for my big day!

FAQ for Vanya Designs & Custom Sewing
A: Yes. I do not need to have an exact pattern. I often will design dresses straight from a picture or will work details from several pictures into one dress. You tell me what you want and I will create my own pattern when designing your gown.
Q: I already have my bridal gown, but I am interested in having bridesmaids dresses custom made. Can you do that?
A: One of the primary parts of my business is designing and making bridesmaids dresses. I will source the fabric for you and at our consultation you can choose exactly what you want.
Q: I fell in love with a Designer wedding gown, but it is way over my budget. Can you help?
A: Yes, most of the time my prices are significantly lower than Designer gowns. Prices depend upon type and quality of fabric choice; involvement of dress design, etc.. We will discuss pricing at our initial consultation.
When going to a bridal gown fitting, it is very important to have your bra, slip, and shoes with you. All of these items can change how your dress fits.
Bra cups are a really nice alternative to a bra. They are often found to be more comfortable, and they are sewn in so you don't have to worry about straps or back closures showing! (I do provide bra cups upon request)
