Kira Kouture

Tailor

Born & raised in Texas, I learned to sew from my mother when I was very young. All I’ve ever wanted to make is wedding dresses. I got my degree in Apparel Design & Manufacturing from Texas Tech and moved to Austin after graduating.

After moving to Austin, I had an internship with Linda Asaf, where I was able to design and make a dress for my first bride. After having the rewarding experience of giving a bride her perfect dress, I knew I didn’t want to do anything else.

I love the smile on each bride’s face when she gets into her dress and it’s her own perfect fit. Kira Kouture is committed to making happy, smiling brides whether it be a few alterations, a simple veil, or an entire custom-made wedding day look. Read more

    Kira was absolutely amazing. I'm pretty sure I had to reschedule at least two out of the three appointments I had with her, and she was kind and accommodating every time. She was also very honest and detailed with her answers to me questions, and walked me through every bit of what she was doing to the dress. Kira made each experience special and I always left feeling confident and excited. She's the best!

    I have used Kira Kouture for all my bridal alteration needs. My wedding dress and two bridesmaids dresses were tailored perfectly to me. She is so patient and talented! I even found a pretty lace bralette she made for my best friend's bridal gift.

    Kira did such a beautiful job altering my wedding dress. When I first got the dress is was HUGE. She made it fit like a glove, added straps, shortened the train, and added a slit, all the while being very patient with me and putting up with me changing my mind every few days. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

    Kira had her work cut out for her (pun intended) when I came to her needing alterations on my wedding gown. I wore the Hailey Page "Dori" for my wedding, with flats, and I'm only 5' 1". If you're not familiar with the dress, it's a pretty complicated design with multiple layers of different techniques on the skirt (the top layer being the most difficult) & it's blinged out on the top meaning removing & replacing jewels as she went. ...

    When it was done, it was perfect... from the length, the train, the bodice... and she even custom made me a veil. She was friendly & delightful to work with.
