A La Mode Bridal Boutique - Houston, Texas

Lauren Friederman

Laura and her team were absolutely wonderful! With their help, my wedding dress fits perfectly and I can’t wait to put it on for the big day! Laura made sure that I felt comfortable with the fit and I was able to come see her several times to get it perfect. She’s also so sweet and very pleasant to work with! I highly recommend!

I’m not sure where to begin… bought my dress because I loved the neckline and train. Took my dress to a la mode bridal boutique because Weddings by Debbie recommended them…

First visit… 6/12/24 to have them help me with my bridal alternating. Showed them the stock pictures of the dress and tried it on. The dress in the pictures is fitted, smooth bust line and mermaid train. I am size 6, with DD bust. The dress is designed to cover my chest and is not low. The first fitting I told Laura, the top is loose and I feel I will fall out if I bend over. They recommended installing bra pads.

The second visit was 8/13/24… they installed the pads but I still felt the dress was to low and my daughter told me it looked like I was coming out of the dress more since the cups were pushing me up more now.

The third fitting.. we did the length which was good ( the only thing they did right). Still kept telling Laura my top was not comfortable with. They talked to me about the American bustle. I agreed to let them make it.

The forth fitting… 9/10/24 and 9/20/24… still not happy with the neckline and asked to remove the bra pads because I felt it looked like I was going to fall out when I bent over.
Laura removed them with scissors ( they were not sewn in secure enough) . Still felt it looked like I was hanging out if I bend over but much better than the bra pads. The bustle was done but they added weird buttons to the back making. It look like an arrow. I asked her about it and she said that’s the way they do it. ( this took away from the straight line of button that I loved about the train) now it looks like an arrow pointing to my butt… (see picture)

My daughter dress:
They lined the top so it would not itch her, and took the dress in. I told them it was hard to remove over her head now and she said it felt too tight. I asked them to remove the sides they took in back to the original size so my daughter felt comfortable. They told me that they would. They let out some but the dress was still hard to pull over her head due to the sides being tight. My daughter was already upset and just said to leave it. They charged me almost $500 dollars to alter a $50 dress. I wish they would not have touched the sides and only hemmed it. She worn it for 15 minutes and cried to take it off because she couldn’t breathe at my wedding.

Final fitting.. 10/2/24 ( days before my wedding) they had both our dresses now for 5 months. Wedding day 10/5/24 in Austin. I am traveling 10/4/24. I am still not excited about the neckline of my dress and it feels like the dress straps are looser now that the cups are gone. Laura tells me it looks great. What do I do… I can’t take it anywhere else it’s been here and I trust her professional judgment.

My wedding day… my mom and friends tell me when I am trying on the dress minutes before I walk down the isle.. my dress straps or the front of my dress looks bad and if I bend over it will not be good. So we all agree to use a clear hair tie to hold the straps together to help the neckline.

I wore the dress like this, didn’t do pictures of the back.. because it was rigged.

Messaged Laura the next day after my wedding and she said you didn’t mention anything about the being unhappy with the dress… and showed her the back of the dress strapped.

This is one of the most special occasions for a bride and I paid almost $1,000 dollars for a professional to alter the dress to fit me.

10/24/24 … Susie Alterations
I have now taken it to another alteration place where they looked at the dress and in 30 minutes pinned it and sized it to fit me properly like the dress should have been done.

All this so I can take my wedding photos over in the dress I should have been in pictures on my original wedding day.

I text Laura the pictures and videos of the new alterations and told her she needed to refund me the amount they are charging me to fit her mistakes. $485 is what the new cost is …

Since 10/24/24 … Laura has never replied back to me about making this right.

I’ve never been the type of female to dream about her wedding day or dress, so this was an entirely new experience for me. I had no idea about a lot of the wedding & dress terminology and all of the staff were patient with me and my toddler, who I unfortunately had to bring to all of my fittings. ‍♀️ They never made us feel unwelcome and would often times keep my toddler entertained while educating me on this journey. I truly appreciate everything they did for me, my dress turned out lovely and was finished on time for my destination wedding.

Rosie did a wonderful job altering my dress to fit me perfectly! Also she made my alterations experience so pleasant! She is so sweet and kind, I enjoyed every visit! Also her prices were in my budget. The bridal salon I purchased from offered alterations but they were much more expensive than A La Mode.

I feel really disappointed. I bought my dress because I was offered a discount for alterations from vivienne atlier. I went with La mode because it was recommended from vivienne. And because I was under the impression that I was going to save money for alterations I was so excited to get the process started with them. I even had someone from La mode meet me at the place I was buying my wedding dress to give me an estimated quote of the alterations that it needed so I can make sure I was not over spending. I was told that the dress did not need much alterations and that it was going to range around $250 for the hem and $150 for the top part of the dress.
I was thrilled because I thought I was going to be saving money. Turns out I go to La mode and the owner Laura tries to charge me for $850 for just the top park of my dress! I was baffled. And to top it off when I mentioned the 20% discount they told me at first that the prices they were giving me was already including the discount , but on the quote I see the “special discount” $0. I could tell she was already unreliable because she was lying to me about the pricing and the discount. When I confront her she told me I could do the 20% discount or a steam and clean for $175. Then afterwards she tells me she’s not giving me the 20% discount because now nobody remembers saying anything about the discount. How unprofessional and rude. My wedding is in six weeks and I bought from vivienne atelier with the impression that I was going to save money but turns out it was just a scam! DONT WASTE YOUR TIME!

Mrs. Angie and Mrs. Rosy are the perfect mother daughter bridal duo. The moment I stepped into their boutique I felt peace, protection and new this was the place for me. They really took wonderful care of me and their customer service feels like family. They work with you and your budget. They do THE BEST JOB. I promise you ARE in great hands. We still keep in touch. <3 Thank you ladies for your wonderful business. It wouldn’t have been the same without your wonderful touch. ✨

I had the best experience. Rosie and Angie are the most sweetest and attentive people I have worked with during my wedding planning process. I always felt so safe and comfortable with both of them. They made sure to pay attention to every single detail when it came to making alterations for my wedding dress and making sure it fit my liking. Ms. Rosie was very knowledgeable on what adjustments would be the right fit for me and Ms. Angie did an amazing job explaining to me the whole process from my first visit up until the last. They also handled my dress and veil with so much love and care. They press steamed my dress and veil and walked me through on how to maintain the dress from now until the day of. They were also so accommodating to me since I had to travel from San Antonio to come in for my appointments. I couldn’t have asked for a better team to assist me.

Wow. Words cannot begin to describe how happy I am that I had my dress altered by Ms. Rosie. She took her time from the get-go to explain how everything worked—from working on one part of the dress at a time, to how shape wear works with the material of the dress.
Ms. Rosie is a dedicated and precise tailor. She truly turned my wedding dress into “the dream dress”! My bustle was unlike anyones I’ve ever seen-It was a combination of a French and American bustle and truly made my dreams come true! If you haven’t stopped by Rosie for a quote, I highly recommend you do, as you won’t be disappointed.
