“ I worked with Lauren at Ana Sousa for my wedding dress alterations and I would highly recommend them, I plan on going back to get my wedding dress altered for my one year anniversary!

What stood out to me besides her flexibility and professionalism, was her attention to detail. She absolutely nailed my bustle, I’ve seen many people in similar wedding dresses and their bustle did not compare! Thank you Lauren!”
