excellent work. I recently went to Coutures by Laura to have alterations done on my wedding dress. She did excellent work, had alterations completed in short time, friendly, and at a great price. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing alterations on wedding dress. She indicated she does other types of alterations for different garments, and I definitely plan to go back to her!

LOVE my dress!. I have nothing but great things to say about Laura! I went to her 3 months before my wedding. We had well over a year to plan our wedding, so this was significantly late in the game to be starting on my dress, but my other plan had fallen through. I was stressing out and about to settle on a $4,000 dress I didn't even love, when a friend convinced me to call Laura. (She had just had her first fitting for her own dress and was very happy.)

I called Laura the very next day, went in, and by the time I left I had written a deposit check and was feeling completely relieved. I showed her photos of a Vera Wang dress I loved. She completely got what I was wanting and had so much enthusiasm about it that I knew she was the right person to make it.

Long story short, I LOVED my dress, the process was very easy, and she also ended up completely re-doing 4 vintage lace dresses for my bridesmaids, which we also loved. (See photos in the gallery)

She's very reasonable (if you're aware that a custom wedding dress isn't going to be crazy cheap--I've read some bad reviews from people who clearly didn't get this).

Our wedding was featured on a national blog and I've had complete strangers emailing me to tell me how much they liked my dress. I wish I could wear it again!

Thanks Laura!

SIDENOTE: The negative reviews on this site sound bogus to me. I didn't know her, she had no reason to think I was wealthy, and she still treated me very well. She definitely does not act like a "snooty high school queen", whatever that means. I'm glad I didn't listen to those reviews before I went in.

Wish I could give her ZERO stars. Unless you're already friends with her (probably many of the fake 5-star reviews here are posted by them), you would do good to look some place else. This horrid person operates a business like she's still the snooty high school prom queen. Her good friends get prioritized over the "regular" customer which she looks down upon. She misquotes customers all the time. She does not properly honor gift certificates. She will change her quote in order to fully cover your gift certificate so that you have no credit left to use it on other services. She will be late on her work and ignore your calls and messages. If you have to use her (only if you HAVE to), bribe her with cookies. She responds better to food.

dress of my dreams at half the price. I had a great experience with Laura. I fell in love with a very pricey Melissa Sweet gown that made me look short. My mother and I had heard great things about Laura, so we went to meet with her and told her our dilemma. Within minutes, she was sketching the solution out in front of us. The dress she made was wonderful material, gorgeously represented the dress I loved AND included flattering details. Oh, and it cost about half of what the original designer dress would have cost before alterations. She was very accommodating when I wanted some alterations made to the neckline less than a month before the wedding. Meeting with Laura and my mother to create the dress no one was allowed to see until the big day was one of my favorite memories from wedding planning.

I am so happy with my wedding dress! 30 seconds before I walked down the aisle, my wedding coordinator told me that I was wearing the prettiest dress she'd seen at that venue in a while. I got comments the whole night and felt like a beautiful bride. Thank you, Laura.

Best deb dress ever!. My daughter was a recent debutant in Austin. In general, the dresses we were looking at in the stores were priced very high and of low quality. We went to Laura with a design in mind and and she took it from there. Laura created a gorgeous dress at a reasonable price and a much higher quality. There was far more attention to detail than we were seeing in the stores and it was overall much more superior to the ones had been looking at. One of the best things is that it was made to measure and fit my daughter like a glove. We looked forward to going in for fittings and it was so much fun watching the dress come together. Laura is just a lovely person; a pleasure to do business with, and someone I consider a new friend.
