Evelina was awesome! I went to her last fall because I was having trouble finding a dress at any of the bridal stores in the area that looked good on me and was the style I wanted. Any dress I did find would have to be special ordered or altered and would cost a crazy amount of money. I also did not want white or ivory and that was all I was able to find. She took my measurements and we were able to do a custom made dress for a very reasonable price. She took the time to pick out patterns with me and find fabric that was suitable. When the dress came back, it didn’t fit me correctly and I was not completely satisfied with the length and the way the skirt looked. Upon hearing this, Evelina told me she would not sleep until I was happy with my dress. She took the dress in and had a new skirt made in a few short weeks. Once I tried it on again, I was 100% happy with the alterations made and absolutely loved my dress. It was everything that I wanted and couldn’t find in the area. She also altered a dress for my sister who was the maid of honor and told me she could make dresses for any of my bridesmaids who would need one. I even ordered a dress from her for my daughter that she looked like a little princess in. When I went to pick up my dress after final alterations, Evelina gave us a gift which was a beautiful hair piece for my daughter. The dresses she has in store are always so interesting to look at and Evelina is always very warm and friendly any time I go in there. I got so many compliments on my dress during my wedding. I think having a custom made dress is much more meaningful than one produced in mass quantities and can be passed down to my daughter as an heirloom. Thank you for making my wedding day all the more special...
Read moreI DO Fargo and Evelina are the ABSOLUTE BEST 💗 I can’t even begin to express how wonderful of an experience I had with her for my wedding alteration process. First off, the shop is adorable! Second, she is a fantastic communicator. Evelina asked all the right AND appropriate questions to ensure that my dress would fit properly and I would feel like my most beautiful self on the big day 🥹!!! I felt like a princess because I DO Fargo altered every part of my dress perfectly.
She went above and beyond with making a non-bulky bustle for my train, helped me with hair ideas to compliment my dress, and gave me so many tips/tricks to make my dress perfect for my wedding. I had no clue how to bustle my train or what places to take in, or even how much to take off the bottom. Evelina showed me everything she suggested we do, and the dress ended up being incredibly comfortable to wear and easy to walk/dance in! My favorite part was her suggestion that we take out some of the layers in the front so it’d be easier to walk. Great call 😊😊
She is such a caring and compassionate lady, who is kind in her approach and skilled in the business. This is made clear by the amount of dresses she has altered, sold, and...
Read moreWorking with Evelina to create my custom wedding dress was one of the most special parts of my entire wedding experience. From the very beginning, she listened so carefully to my ideas and vision, and somehow managed to bring them to life even more beautifully than I ever could have imagined. She made me feel completely comfortable, and I could tell how much heart and detail she put into every stitch. Surprisingly, having a dress made just for me was much more cost-effective than purchasing one already in a boutique.
The dress turned out to be everything I dreamed of and more. It wasn’t just a gown—it was my gown, designed uniquely for me, and it made me feel so confident, radiant, and truly myself on my wedding day. The craftsmanship was flawless, but what stood out even more was the care, patience, and kindness she showed throughout the whole process.
I will always be so grateful to Evelina for giving me something so meaningful to wear on such an important day. If you’re looking for someone who pours love into their work and truly understands how to make your vision a reality, I cannot...
