Sheryl Giles Bridal Couture Custom Sewing and Alterations — Local services in Stockton

Hands down the dream experience at a bridal shop. It was worth going above my extremely tight budget for the chance to get the incredible service from Jenny, Sheryl, and Chandler. Jenny was told about the San Francisco City Hall micros wedding I had been scrambling to get done in 90 days and a tiny budget. I told her I wanted something modern but that fit the gorgeous Beaux Arts architecture. I was thinking baroque, some fairy qualities, but still something that gave modern elegance. SHE DELIVERED! Omg Sheryl knew immediately that Jenny was the stylist for me. Jenny brought out some that hit each request and then one that did a little bit of all of them— that was THE one. I actually cried! I thought maybe I was not the type to cry over my wedding dress and it was ok BUT she knew exactly how to make my dream dress come true! Jenny was funny, friendly, and had killer personal style so I knew I could trust her judgment. Especially when she brought out a long glitter cape to go with my dress. That was it! I was blown away by the suggestion and it really made me feel like a fairy queen in a Lana Del Rey music video. Chandler was so kind and knew exactly how to tailor my dress. She suggested the train buttons to help pin up my train and help me walk during my reception. She also added buttons to hold my cape in place and they were so well hidden I couldn’t find them on the day to pin it on! The dress was the perfect length as I am so short even with my 4 inch heels. She helped during the last appointments and had me do 2 try ons to make sure I was 100% satisfied with fit. Sheryl was so kind and showered with compliments. Genuine comments telling me how well my vision was coming together and she would get so excited seeing my items I was using to style my dress more, like earrings and the pins that held my veil. She also rushed my hard-to-find draped veil in less than a week! Unheard of. I couldn’t even do that on Amazon or Etsy. The price was worth it but it was still so affordable because of the spectacular service, quality of the pieces, and understanding of our vision for the look of the wedding. I will remember their kindness for all eternity and sing their praises to all my friends and family. I went to several cost-effective shops that had me look through magazines and told me it was non-refundable and couldn’t exchange even though I couldn’t see them in person! They were incredibly affordable but I couldn’t commit like that! I also did the Azazie route and ended up canceling the dress since I knew I wasn’t in love and didn’t cry when I tried it on. I will forever be happy to risk an appointment with Sheryl Giles shop and hoping they could have affordable options. They have everything for almost all budgets. They really know how to work with everyone! Come and try on dresses with them— you will...

I couldn’t have asked for a better dress shopping experience! I was planning a simple but elegant micro-wedding and originally ordered a dress online, but it was a disaster and only had six weeks until the big day. A friend recommended Sheryl Giles, and booking an appointment with them was the best decision I made.

From the moment I walked in with my closest ladies, Jen (the stylist) made me feel heard and taken care of. I told her I was on a budget and preferred something long-sleeved and form-fitting. It was like she read my mind, she immediately understood my vision. I tried on a few styles, but when I found the dress: long-sleeved, sparkly, intricate lace, mermaid cut, dramatic train, I had that emotional moment. I felt like the most beautiful bride and didn’t want to take it off.

Since it was an intricate and a sample gown and I’m only 5’1”, I trusted them with the alterations. They did everything and beyond! hemming, adjusting sleeves, adding room in the hips, fixing tiny holes, replacing buttons, and creating the perfect bustle. I kept calling them magicians because of how much detailed-work Chandler and Sheryl put in. They truly made the dress fit on my body like it was absolutely made for me.

Every fitting was warm, professional, and personal. I felt valued, beautiful, and 100% stress-free knowing my dress was in the best hands. Definitely book them—Your wedding day and dress is one of the most important days of your life and you should feel and look beautiful and worry-free to know your dress was the highest...

This bridal shop is incredible! Sheryl is an absolute DREAM to work with. In short, I lost 75 lbs before my wedding, so my purchased wedding dress had become super baggy. I didn't feel good and I even considered buying an entirely new one because I couldn't imagine it could be salvaged.... I even asked to try on more dresses, which Sheryl helped me out with too.

But I ultimately did the alterations on the original dress and Sheryl came through for me in a big way!! She has several recommendations for how to alter the dress in the most aesthetically pleasing way, which look phenomenal!! It was modified with a beautiful corset to give some flexibility in case I lost more weight, plus took the dress in by something insane like 7 inches. The price was super reasonable and she even did a second round of adjustments for me without adding on to the price AND her turnaround time was SO QUICK!

At my final fitting I had the most pure moment of relief looking at myself in the mirror and I felt so bridal for the first time. I can't wait to wear it to my wedding and I'm just so grateful to Sheryl and her team - they were a pleasure and I'd recommend anyone to come here! Before I was dreading having people see me in my dress and now I...
