Imperial Alterations Reviews

Binh & Naomi 2025.11.30

     

I had my wedding dress and second look (mini dress) altered at Imperial Alterations. The wedding dress (which had a train) was shortened and some of the inner boning was cut to smoothen it out. For the mini dress, the straps were shortened and the bust area was taken in a little. They did a fantastic job on both dresses! I was worried about alteration costs as I had seen other brides saying they paid $1000-2000 for dress alterations (at other shops), but I'm relieved that the price was very reasonable. They also completed the alterations right on schedule. Upon trying the dress, they had to make another minor adjustment to the boning and they did it within 1-2 hours.

I had a great experience working with Ira at Imperial alterations! Ira helped alter three different dresses for my wedding weekend wardrobe and treated each piece with great attention to detail and precision. For my wedding dress, Ira was able to transform my a-line dress to a ballgown by adding custom tulle layers to the hips. She also hemmed the dress to the perfect length. She also did an excellent job of adding a bustle to my first dance dress, which was difficult due to the tiered layers. Lastly, she completely transformed a house of cb dress by altering the neckline to a cat eye and adding custom draping. I commuted all of the way from Manhattan for all of my appointments but it was well worth it! I did a few other consultations with other alterations places in the area but chose imperial based on Ira’s warmth, professionalism and excellent reviews. It was also very easy to schedule and change my appointments online and communicate with Ira via email. I highly recommend trusting Ira and her team with your wedding alterations!

I recently brought my dress to Imperial Alterations in Hoboken, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! Ira, the owner, was incredibly professional, attentive, and skilled. She listened carefully to all my requests and ensured the dress fit perfectly. The quality of her work was outstanding, and the attention to detail was top-notch.

I had a seamless experience with Ira at Imperial Alterations! Their work exceeded my expectations. I was on a bit of a time crunch (leaving 2 weeks before needing my dress) and it was ready in a very timely manner.

Ira and the Imperial Alterations team did an incredible job with my wedding dress—I couldn’t have been happier with the final result! I received so many compliments that my dress “fit like a glove.” Ira was so attentive, really listened to my feedback at the first two appointments, and made me feel confident every step of the way. I’ll absolutely be coming back for any future alterations!

Great experience. I would recommend anyone to get their alterations done here. The dress was a little to big when I bought it but after alteration it was fitted to my body when I went to pick it up which was my second visit. Thank you Imperial Alterations. 😀
