Customer Testimonials
AMAZING! I bought my Monique Lhuillier wedding dress in Raleigh, and I was very frustrated with limited availability for alterations by the bridal salon. I was referred to Larisa, and I'm so grateful we used her instead of the bridal salon. Larisa is incredibly detail-oriented, and I only needed one fitting for my alterations. My dress had a complicated lace pattern, and Larisa hemmed it perfectly. She also created an easy 3 layer bustle that lasted throughout the evening after the wedding ceremony. Using extra fabric, she handmade gauntlet gloves to go with my dress. I felt so beautiful in my dress all day thanks to Larisa. I'd highly recommend using her!

Larisa is amazing! I am very happy with my alterations services and would definitely seek Larisa’s expert artistry with future alteration needs. My experience with Larisa was positive and professional. She was responsive to my concerns and needs and I am very appreciative of the extra care she showed. Larisa was so gracious. For example, I unintentionally lost a little weight after I stopped taking birth control, and Larisa was able to squeeze me in to make sure that my measurements were precise. Thank goodness! At that second appointment, I forgot my wedding shoes, but she was able to prop my heels on books and still, perfectly measure the dress length. In the end, I was a few months pregnant on our wedding day, and luckily my dress till (tightly) fit, ha!…Larisa was understanding and responsive throughout my experience. She was impressively able to beautifully alter my dress with just one set of measurements. Her incredible skill is very apparent in both her process and final product. I definitely recommend Larisa. Thank you!

So talented!
Larisa was wonderful to work with and she is very talented! My wedding gown had a lot of lace and she was able to make fit absolutely perfect. She also made the bustle super easy! I highly recommend Larisa with your wedding dress alteration needs.

I came to Larisa Style on a last ditch effort to find my dream dress while staying within my budget. When I arrived at the shop, I told Larisa my budget and she was able to pick out 15-20 dresses for me to try on. I tried on each and she gave honest feedback. When I tried on my wedding dress, I cried and felt like a beauty queen. Larisa was so helpful through the whole process and gave me her devoted attention. It took about 2 months or so to get my dress back and about 2 months for the alterations (I only had to get fitted once!). My dress is absolutely gorgeous, within my budget, and it was such a wonderful experience to be the only bride in the store. If you are looking for a place to buy a wedding dress, not wanting to go to a chain store, and stay within budget, this is the one for you!

We highly recommend Larisa! She was able to alter my new daughter-in-law's wedding gown while keeping its simple beauty. We actually cried when we went for the fitting! It was truly a labor of love as Larisa needed to hand-sew inserts to make it just as it was envisioned. We are so thankful! The dress was perfect!

Larisa’s craftsmanship, attention to detail and overall care of my wedding dress was exceptional. The dress was made up of two very thin layers of crepe fabric. Larisa stitched boning on the sides to prevent the fabric from sagging, added cups, the bustle, altered the length, and steamed the dress. The dress fit like a glove and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out!

My dress looked amazing on my wedding day! I was so worried about one fitting, but when I tried on my dress, it fit like a glove. She also did a beautiful bustle with my train. Highly recommend!

Was looking for a wedding dress. Order a few online that were horrible from a different sute. So I decided to check out her shop . She was very personable. I went alone which was hard enough. She helped in every way. The dress I decided was completely out of what I was looking for. It was perfect.

I first learned about Larisa from a consultant at a local bridal boutique who said she would not let anyone else touch her wedding dress. I am so happy I listened to her! It was absolutely wonderful working with Larisa as she altered my wedding dress. It was a large gown that needed 5 bustles once all was said and done, but Larisa handled it beautifully. I was extremely happy with everything that she did - my dress fit me like a glove. I could not have been more satisfied with Larisa's work!
