Atelier Des Modistes — Local services in San Francisco

Working with Suzanne Hanley of Atelier des Modistes has been awesome. I was introduced to Suzanne because I had a vision that needed expert craftsmanship, and she is an expert in couture fashion. Suzanne took my vision into design and composed an ensemble for my wedding that far surpassed my greatest hopes and imaginings. An exquisite corset and skirt, brought together by the classiest tailcoat I've ever seen - even through all the research I had done. She listened to every word I said and studied every drawing I made. She guided me through multiple fittings and carefully studied the way I responded to her ideas. And in the end she got everything right.

Separate from being a brilliant talent, Suzanne is also a gem of a person. During our fittings, when women would walk into her space from the sidewalk asking about "quick hems" for their dresses, Suzanne would politely provide details to them and offer what help she could. They didn't realize they had walked into a studio devoted to fashion masterpieces, and that Suzanne Hanley is a highly sought after artist in her industry.

I was royal for my wedding day, it was one of the happiest days of my life, and I will always have Atelier des Modistes to thank for that. I can't wait to work with Suzanne again, and I cannot rate her design, skill, and customer service highly enough. This woman is as extraordinary as the masterpieces...

Misia and Sue ARE LITERALLY LIFE SAVERS!!! It was the night before my wedding and as I was steaming my dress, I found a little bit of a loose thread/rip in the front of my dress and they were about to close but were SO sweet and told me to come on by. LITERALLY ANGELS!!

And when I say they saved me, I mean, they SAVED ME!! Cause I needed to be at city hall by 8am the next morning. Then Sue found that other pieces in the front (similar to what had broken) that literally were also needing to be re-enforced or else it would happen all over again.

Also, my veil was completely wrinkled from my flight over here and they also took care of that for me as well!

While I waited, I learned about their hand detailing and process. Misia went into detail about the care they take with EACH dress and I just couldn't believe how meticulous they can be!

The place can be a little hard to find but they're nestled between Frascati and Luxe Places International Realty.

I highly recommend them, especially for their superb attention to detail. I wish I lived in San Francisco to have dresses done by them. Actually I might come back because they are starting to do custom wardrobe and if I had more time in SF, I wish I could shop.

The sweetest mom/daughter who the highest attention to detail. I absolutely...

I can't recommend Suzanne enough. She is so warm, friendly, empathic and sweet. A complete pleasure to work with. And her dresses are so pretty and unique. I'm super picky about fabric quality and all her dresses are made with amazing quality fabrics. She was a total God-send for me. I went to her for a different need than most people -- I was in a small-budget production where I needed to source my own wardrobe. I waited too long and I was in a tight spot. We had dress rehearsals coming up fast and I reached out to her with my budget. She had some sample dresses for me to try on when I arrived and one of them fit the bill. It was a gorgeous dress that fit the character. She was SUPER considerate about my budget and working within it. Suzanne helped me style the rest of my look too. She sent me recommendations when I reached out for advice (which was a lot) very quickly.

I would 100% work with her again if I ever have similar wardrobe needs or if I have a special...
