    I am a size 2-4 and i bought a displayed wedding dress from La Soie that was a size 6-10. Therefore, i had to get alterations. I went shopping around for a wedding alteration place in the Sacramento area to about 4 different places, looking for the right seamstress. I had quotes from $300-$800 and Couture Designs was in the middle. From the moment i walked in Couture Designs, i knew this place was going to be the one who touches my dress.

    I got the opportunity to work with Kim who was very professional, helpful, competent, responsive, and friendly. Kim and her team made my dress look phenomenal to the point that it did not look like any alterations was done to my dress! It fitted me very comfortably and perfectly! I had a really long beautiful train to my dress, and Kim helped me do a French bustle with 6 bustles that made it look seamless when the train was put up.

    I was very happy how my dress turned out. It fitted like a dream thanks to Kim and her team! Even though I lived in the Elk Grove area, i really did not mind the drive to Couture Designs because I knew that my dress was in good hands. I highly recommend Couture Designs for any alterations needed and would recommend booking her in advance because she gets booked up quickly. Thank you Kim and team for making my wedding dress look amazing!!

    I I bought my wedding dress at a designer Boutique in the area. It was everything that I wanted it to be, just way too big as I had taken advice from the bridal store to get it in a size that was way too large for me. This dress was extremely complicated... three layers of lace, open back, and beaded straps...and at the top of my budget, but as we all know when it's the dress it's the dress. ... Kim fitted me multiple times until the dress was perfect and fit like a glove. She truly came to my rescue both emotionally and with the quality of her work. Did I mention it was under budget by a landslide? She did such a wonderful job with this complicated task.... I will never go to another seamstress in my life.

    I highly recommend Kim of Couture Designs! I was so worried to take my wedding dress to get altered. I decided to come here because of the reviews, and I am so glad I did! She did so well with altering, hemming, and adding a bustle my wedding dress!! After looking at prices online for wedding dress alterations, I found her prices to be very reasonable! I can't thank her enough for all she did and even helping me by asking a favor to a business in squeezing me in to get my dress steamed! She went above and beyond!

    Speedy, friendly and clearly competent. I was nervous to go to my dry cleaner that advertised that they did alterations because they don't do that job well, so I didn't feel comfortable getting a wedding party dress altered there. I went to Kim when a friend referred me to her. She was kind and has a great little space she works out of. I really loved the personable and comfortable atmosphere. I am glad however that a friend referred me. I never would have found Kim without it. The location is cute, but strange and a little far from me...but totally worth it.
