Inna's Designs — Local services in Longwood

DO NOT waste your time or money with this place! I took my dress in on September 13th for alterations and wasn’t even informed of the $70 consultation fee until I was already changing. She charged $570 plus tax requiring a $285 deposit upfront, which I paid with a fixed delivery date of November 1st.

After no communication, I called on October 15th, and she promised to call back but never did. When I reached out on October 17th, she finally said it was ready for a fitting. At my fitting on October 19th, the dress wasn’t even resized! It wouldn’t zip up at all. She suggested a custom veil for an additional $500, which I agreed to, with a deposit of $267 which was never added to the original contract. It was a verbal agreement.

On October 20th in the morning, I sent her a lace style I preferred, and she confirmed. But by October 31st, no updates on the veil or dress as promised. When I finally reached her, she claimed the dress was ready but the lace hadn’t arrived. She said that I could try on my dress but she would have to charge me $70 to see the dress and veil together after November 1st, even though she missed her own deadline.

When I questioned her poor communication and excessive fees, she THREATENED to hold my dress until I signed an agreement not to dispute any charges! Literally had to sign I will not dispute because she wouldn’t even give us a copy of the contract and refused to hand over my dress, insisting it was her property until I signed a new contract for the veil that wasn’t originally in our agreement. She kept threatening us with an attorney. I told her I just wanted to be done with her and just wanted to take my dress. She kept the veil deposit despite not delivering and held my dress hostage. I paid $875 in total, and I’m still without a veil and a dress that needs further alterations. This experience was stressful and unprofessional — AVOID this shop...

Inna saved my wedding dress!! To say that the route to my perfect wedding dress was a journey would be a complete understatement and if it wasn't for Inna I do not know what I would have done!

I ordered my original dress custom from a company out of New Zealand and when it came in it was HUGE and had many things wrong with it from what I had ordered. Even worse was the company was not willing to do anything about it.

I decided to get it altered from a highly suggested alterations lady (not Inna) and she messed up my dress so much more! When I say it was awful, there were still pins sewn in the dress, some areas of the dress had not even been sewn up all the way, she took it in WAY to much so my chest was popping out like crazy, and the boning she put in was not only giving me an awful shape but poking me.

I started to panic of course, and even ordered two back up dresses just incase. Luckily I had a friend who suggested Inna! I reached out and she was so calm and reassuring that everything would work ok. I went in for a consultation and I think Inna was just as much in shock as me to how back the dress was, however she knew EXACTLY what needed to be done. She was so through when discussing with me what I wanted and completely redesigned in dress in less than 3 weeks!

It was THE perfect dress, that made me feel beyond beautiful and comfortable on my special day. I don't think I could ever thank...

I’ve had the pleasure of not only having custom gowns made by Inna’s Designs beautifully but I’ve worked with her creatively to bring my own personal designs created for my fashion line. There is no one I would trust more than Inna. She truly has a love and passion for creating unique one of a kind pieces and I wish her nothing but success in all that she does.

I recently noticed an unnecessary review from "Donny J" in regards to Inna being unprofessional and most importantly racist. I have know and worked with Inna for over 5 years and she has been nothing but a loving, respectful, and caring person who is passionate about her craft and her business. Calling someone a racist is very serious and detrimental to someone's career, especially when it is not factual. As an African American business woman/owner I found your statements against Inna to be unwarranted, misrepresented and shows your character in a negative light. I pray that one day when you find success in whatever career field you should choose, that someone doesn't try to tarnish your name and reputation like you tried to destroy...
