BOOK WITH LARA ASAP!! I was referred to Folklore Dress Studio by LOHO Bride, where I bought my wedding ceremony dress. Lara completed my standard bridal alterations in addition to some significant alterations to my 2nd look, a vintage mini dress that was a couple sizes too big for me. She absolutely nailed both jobs and made me feel so hot and comfortable in both of my dresses. She's also just the coolest and chillest person with really good taste -- my bridesmaid and I brought a bunch of different accessories to try on with the dresses during my appointments and Lara respectfully weighed in and had amazing instincts. Her prices are also incredibly reasonable, especially considering the expert work she does. Hands down one of my favorite vendors I worked with during my wedding planning process!

Awesome experience working with Lara. My wedding gown was custom made to my measurements (by a dressmaker that shall remain nameless), but to my devastation & dismay, it did NOT fit properly. It took a while for me to find a seamstress that would alter it in time for the wedding date at a reasonable price- Lara was exactly what I was looking for. She not only corrected the ill-fitting bodice, but made suggestions to make the gown more flattering & versatile. I was so relieved to look in the mirror & see my gown as intended. The whole experience was positive & though I only needed one fitting, I am so grateful to Lara for her expertise. It made all the difference when I confidently put on my gown & knew without a doubt that it looked how I wanted. I highly recommend Folklore Dress Studio!

I cannot sat enough about Laura...I started speaking to Laura during the peak of COVID lockdown and my wedding was rescheduled 3 separate times. Laura was so responsive, understanding, and truly went above and beyond to help me throughout the entire year of rescheduling. On top of being incredibly kind.. she is an absolute wedding dress magician. My dress fits LIKE A GLOVE. She did such incredible work and made my dream come to life through every little detail. I am forever grateful!!!! Thank you Laura!!!!!

Lara of Folklore Dress Studio was amazing with me. I was a plus size bride that purchased my dress from Strut Bridal. The dress was a floor model, but the lace and style were perfect. Accept for the straps....they were terrible. The store assured me their preferred alterations individual, Folklore, does amazing work. Well she did more then adequate, she made the dress perfect! She shortened the skirt, fixed the zipper, took in the bust, created a gorgeous bustle, and made new straps. She herself was an absolute pleasure to work with as well. Always happy, pleasant, and interested in making sure my dress was perfect. It was like I was her only customer every time I visited her for fittings. Her office was also nicely appointed. I would use her again for any formal gown I have. Check out the before and after pictures.

Lara is a magician! I went to her in early 2020, right before the pandemic. I needed my dress hemmed and taken in a bit, and she also made a custom cape for me instead of a veil. When everything shut down and we had to postpone our wedding, I picked up my dress and stored it at home for 2 years. I also picked up a white jumpsuit I had her tailor, originally for my rehearsal dinner but it ended up being what I wore for a backyard legal ceremony in May 2020.
I went back to Lara 6 weeks before my rescheduled wedding. We had some real work to do because I didn't like the style of the bodice anymore. Lara was game to chop up my dress into a skirt and made a custom sleeveless crop-top, using the embellishments of the original bodice and new fabric. I loved the final look (and it was so comfortable!), and I got so many compliments on its unique style.
Lara was exactly what you want in a wedding vendor: calm and capable. Her work is exceptional and she's a joy to work with.
