Youngs Bridal Alterations

Young’s Bridal is making my wedding dream come true of being able to wear my mom’s dress from 1980 for my own wedding in May 2021. The dress did not fit and the seamstress and designer at Young’s have taken my mom’s dress and edited and modified it so that it fits and keeps true to the original dress. I have yet to see the finish product, but they have spent so much time with me ensuring that every detail is complete! I am so excited to see the finish product! If you have a special request for your wedding dress in the Dayton or surrounding area this is your place to go! Mrs Young and her staff will make sure that you are taken care of and you have everything you need. Definitely 5 star and 10/10 customer service and quality!

Young and the seamstresses are the best! So sweet and their work is amazing. I had a somewhat complicated wedding dress to bustle as it has a lot of layers of lace and tulle. I am so impressed with how it turned out! The dress fits perfectly and I am so happy I went here. I would absolutely use them again. Definitely recommend.

Young's Bridal does amazing work and saved this bride's wedding day! I was a bit behind getting alterations done and didn't start looking around at alteration shops until 16 DAYS before the wedding... I know. Young was the only one to look at my dress and fit me in the schedule. Two weeks later, and two days before my wedding day, I have a dress that looks AMAZING. I had the length shortened, a belt sewn on, and a bustle put in at a really reasonable cost. I would absolutely recommend Young's to any future brides!

I’ll start off by saying she does good work, and the dress did come out as desired, however the process to get there was somewhat painful.nCons:n1) Just overall not very professionally run. Again, good work and they were courteous, however they double booked TWICE on me even when I had called to confirm appointments which isn’t great for working people who have tighter schedules. She also didn’t take notes of what I needed done, which, with how much there was to do, you think she would. So instead, I basically had to reminder her every time I went because she would forget something or didn’t make the sleeves as originally asked.n2) They also don’t give clear information on pricing, so MAKE SURE YOU ASK. This one is on me because I just trusted the total estimate she gave me ($300-$400) In the end she charged MORE THAN DOUBLE what she originally told me (almost $1000!!!) and when I asked why she didn’t tell me. I had it taken in, a bustle added (one that was extremely simple and she said would be cheaper), a belt sewn on, and sleeves added. I had a friend get similar items done to her dress along with a hemming and she paid half what I did at Bahar for work of the same quality. They need to be far more upfront and not just give “ranges” that they don’t even stick to. And if they charge by the hour then at least make that clear, especially when they are redoing stuff because they didn’t listen to what I originally asked for. Again, this one is on me for going in naively and not requesting written breakdowns on cost that I could hold her to. Way overpriced, I wish I’d challenged her on it more.n3) I scheduled way in advance because I new there was a lot that needed to be done and conveyed that multiple times, along with the date I needed to pick it up, they kept reassuring me there was enough time. As the weeks got closer they finally saw their mistake in putting it off and all of a sudden I had to go to several fittings in a week which was quite frustrating schedule wise. And in the end it wasn’t even done when I had originally requested (and reminded several times) and when I went to pick up it they had still forgotten some things.n4) Kind of trivial but was frustrating...she insisted I needed a strapless bra and I had to get it to her right away, so I went and bought one and drove it over but she kept delaying putting it in and in the end didn’t add it. So that was a waste of money... :/nnOverall, I’d say if you only need something very simple like it taken in or a bustle added, you should be fine. But make sure you get a break down in pricing that you can hold them to BEFORE you give them your dress. Otherwise they will charge more than originally stated and it is so not worth it. If you need anything special, or a lot of work done, I would NOT recommend coming here...

Young’s Alterations did a wonderful job altering my wedding dress. I have a long train that required a lot of bustling and they were able to alter it perfectly. The staff was attentive, understanding and timely. I would highly recommend.
