Rodica Lazarian Couture Bridal Design

Thank you so much Rodica for taking my off the rack dress and turning it into a custom couture creation! Your professionalism and attention to detail were amazing, and your personal touch and caring attitude made all the difference in our experience. My mother and I both had our dresses altered by Rodica, as well as one of my bridesmaids, and all were done with the utmost excellence. Rodica is the best, and took my dress and removed straps, added a new belt, and took it in at least 5 inches in the waist since I lost weight over the year leading up to the wedding, and made it fit like a glove. She did all this with patience, grace, and loving care. Rodica also altered my veil, and made us all look beautiful for the wedding day. We are ever so grateful!

Rodica is the best! She was amazing from start to finish. I had no idea what I was doing, but she is an expert and guided me through all my dress fittings, tucking and pinning to make it fit perfectly! She also made a custom belt for my dress and a matching bracelet cuff as well as my cathedral length veil. She is just so talented and amazing at what she does!

What can I say about Rodica except that she is like a fairy godmother! She took my wedding dress and made it fit like a glove on the big day. But Rodica is far more than a seamstress. Throughout the process, she became a friend, confidant, and part of the family. She also helped my mother, mother-​in-​law, and bridesmaid with alterations and their gowns looked stunning as well. There is no alterations challenge that Rodica cannot overcome. Rodica has a gift not only to make a garment fit as if it was designed for that particular person but also to make everyone around her calm and confident. Wedding planning can be stressful no doubt but one thing that eased the stress for me was talking to Rodica. Every time I had a fitting no matter how stressed I may have been going in, I walked out of Rodica’s shop with a smile. She is truly a wonderful person and a gifted seamstress and I am proud to now call her a friend. Thank you Rodica!

Rodica is an amazing woman! Such a hard worker and friendly person. I so appreciate all the work she did on my dress. xoxoxoxo sks

Rodica has a gift from God which she uses to bless others! She made my wedding gown from scratch. She literally sketched as I told her what I wanted it to look like. The gown turned out even more beautiful than I could possibly even hope/​imagine! I can not wait to wear this dream dress of mine on Friday! (I’m getting married this Friday evening) I will be sure to follow up with a picture! Side note: She is a beautiful person inside and out. I have made a new friend! I looked forward to every fitting/​meeting that I had with her! It was such a pleasure to work with her! AMAZING WORK!

Rodica swooped in to rescue me after my dress was completely butchered by another seamstress — so much so that I’ve been dreading my wedding day for months.
For the amount of work that was needed, her prices couldn’t be beat.
This is truly the stuff that guardian angels are made of – I would recommend her to others in a heartbeat!

Rodica is an absolute dream to work with, and literally helped make one of my wedding dreams come true AND ended up being a savior on the actual wedding day, literally. One of my dreams for my wedding was for my mom to look stunning and feel beautiful… she made me who I am today and her feeling pretty and fabulous was at the top of my list. We searched high and low in all the Atlanta stores, and I looked at several in NYC, and we couldn’t find what we were envisioning. Well, Rodica was recommended by my wedding planner and we found her and loved her. I have very high expectations and have met different dress makers and seamstresses in NY, but liked Rodica right away. She understood our vision I and created a masterpiece that my mom shined in… she looked like royalty. Rodica found Valentino fabric and created the dress of our dreams. She was also so wonderful to be around and you could tell really cared. She became like family through the process, and the dress, ahh, just stunning!!!
Week and day of the wedding, Rodica saved us. My custom dress had been shipped from Manhattan to Rodica to steam. Well, Rodica didn’t love the way I was having to pull up the strapless dress, so she sewed in an undergarment and added a security belt on the inside that fixed the issue!
The day of the wedding, my parents paid to have Rodica help get me, my mother and the bridesmaids dressed, including steaming the dresses. I didn’t think this was necessary but my parents wanted to be safe vs. sorry given we had worked so hard on these dresses, had 11 bridesmaids and wanted to really enjoy the day and not worry. Thank goodness they did!!! My zipper on my dress got stuck and Rodica and my planner had to take almost 5 minutes (felt like 20!!) and work together to get it up! Then one of my decorative covered buttons popped off… Rodica to the rescue. Then, my brother, a groomsman, split his pants an hour before the ceremony… Rodica again to the rescue… bridesmaid stepped on the bottom of her dress and made a whole… father of bride had a button come off his shirt before wedding… Rodica to the rescue! Then, as the groom (my now husband) got up from the waiting room at the church to go upstairs to walk down the aisle, his button on his one button tux popped off (and all of these dresses/​tuxes were high end, well made and in some cases designer, so shouldn’t have done this)…Saint Rodica! Thank goodness I didn’t find all of this out until after the wedding, but needless to say, Rodica saved us. She was worth every penny and more!!!
Besides her extreme talent, great taste and workmanship, she herself is just fabulous. We really bonded with her as a family and she puts love in to what she does. I know we will be coming back to Rodica for years to come!

First I would like to say that Rodica is magic! She is such a ray of sunshine and is one of the best women out there! Her energy is contagious and she is amazing at what she does! I will always go to her with anything I need fixing. She is incredibly talented!
Ladies this is the place you need to go to! You will be so satisfied because her work is just perfection!
The minute I met this lady I knew I was in good hands. She is so welcoming and just one of the best! and her boutique is just gorgeous, and so nice!
I came to her a few week ago in desperate need of help. I ordered a bridesmaid dress online and it was not going to arrive on time, I spend so many unnecessary hours dealing with that dress and I will never order another bridesmaid dress online! EVER and I will never use Victoria’s Bridal Couture. They are horrible. Fortunately I found a replacement and brought it in to Rodica. This dress was a size 12 and I am a size 2. To change the dress that much is a lot of work and it really truly is making a completely new dress. Well that is exactly what Rodica did!!! and not only did she change the dress she did it in less than a week and the dress is gorgeous! She was so happy to show me the work she did and she was so excited for me to try it on. She will work with you with whatever you need, big problem, small problem and she will do her very best work! She did it for me. I am so happy I went to her and I will continue to use her!
I was so thankful for her magical work and I am so happy I found her and decided to go to her store. She is the best of the best!

Where do I even start with this review?! I found Rodica by browsing Unilocal for a seamstress who could alter not only my FULL LACE wedding dress but also my veil, which was my mother’s from her wedding in 1978. From start to finish, consultations to technique, Rodica provides it all. She’s experienced, talented, and honest. She offered her design opinions when I was undecided on a few of the changes and I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome. Her studio is a complete reflection of who she is as a person and an artist, truly beautiful! Anyone looking for expert bridal alterations should go to Rodica, hands down!

I bought my dress in my hometown of Raleigh and needed a local alterations place. She did an amazing job not only with my alterations but also with helping me to style the dress as well. And when she says she has the best bra you should believe her! Everything was perfect and I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Could not love someone more than Rodica! She came highly recommended and surely lived up to expectations! I am the difficult bride that decided I hated my dress… one week before my wedding… and decided to wear my sister’s dress instead! Rodica was more than accommodating to make sure the dress fit like a glove and was pressed perfectly! She is so nice to work with and saved my wedding day :) Not only can she make your dress exactly what you dreamt of, she can create the most gorgeous veils/​custom dresses. She is fabulous! 100% recommend her to any brides looking for a trustworthy, patient, loving, perfectionist!

What an amazing experience. Rodica is a TRUE TALENT AT WHAT SHE DOES. I came to Rodica with ONE WEEK until my wedding needing sleeves put on my dress. I was extremely nervous this time after another alterations company FAILED MISERABLY at the task. After reading reviews about her quality work and honest, genuine morals I decided to give her a call. She was more than willing to get me in to see her and look at my dress. She agreed, and I picked the dress up one week later… It WAS UNBELIEVABLE. PERFECT. AMAZING. SHE IS A TRUE TALENT, and I could not have asked for a more personable, caring person to work with. I would recommend her to anyone. WHAT QUALITY WORK!!! To give this an A++++ doesn’t even allow it full justice.

Rodica hasn’t even started on my dress just yet so I’ll provide another review once complete but I couldn’t help myself by telling you all just how amazing she is during the consultation itself. She is so welcoming and a dear to work with. She made me feel comfortable and valued. I have a dress but want to personalize it by making some modifications and she not only said she loves the ideas but also had some fantastic advice and ides herself. LOVE HER already!
She thinks outside of the box and wants her brides to look the best they can!

Best of the best!
Rodica is one of a kind, has been in business in Buckhead for years, and used to design Wedding Veils for Saks Fifth Avenue.
You feel pampered from the moment you walk into our boutique. Her business is very private and she allots time with you for your own personal session.
She designed a beautiful cathedral veil for me and altered my dress to fit like a glove. The top of my dress was very detailed with lace, a champagne underlay, and tons of beads. Rodica carefully altered this dress and it turned out to be an absolutely incredible masterpiece.
The only way you would ever go wrong is if you didn’t choose Rodica for your alteration and veil services!

Rodica is simply wonderful — she made my beautiful gown perfect. I found her online, and was intrigued by the great reviews she got on Unilocal.I could tell the very first time when I put on my gown in her atelier that she knew what she was talking about. She completely altered the shoulders and took in the back, and the dress came out perfect and fit like a glove. She’s got a wonderful, bubbly personality and is just so pleasant to be around. Would recommend her to anyone!

Rodica is a master, she took my inexpensive off the rack wedding dress and made it fit like a glove. I just put the budget more towards alterations than the dress and it worked out wonderfully. She also added a detachable stole at my request. She’s lovely to work with, and I highly recommend!

Believe me when I say… this woman could tailor a handkerchief. She knows what she’s doing. I first went to Rodica 13 years ago when she was at Impressions. I continuously take so many dresses and other items to her because I don’t trust anyone else. She’s an amazing tailor and an amazing person to be around.
I was so excited to see that Rodica has swept the category in 5 star reviews. She deserves every bit if not more.

I adore Rodica! After scoring my dream dress when Priscilla of Boston went under, I was a bit nervous since the dress was wrought with broken lace and 10 sizes too big. When I asked what wonder woman could remake this dress, my amazing wedding planner sent me to Ms. Rodica. As the previous review said, an appropriate word to describe her is overqualified.
Rodica is truly an artist, she can custom make anything from intricate jewelry pieces to a flawless custom made gown. Not only is she talented but she is really wonderful to be around, she’s joyful, smart, and a schedule wizard. I actually look forward to my appointments to see what hilarious\amazing life lesson she will bestow upon me, oh yeah and my dress looks like it was remade by a fairy godmother. I’m convinced it looks better than if I had one made by the designer herself. Can’t wait to send many a friend her way in the future!

This woman is absolutely amazing. Like, the best.
Rodica did alterations on my wedding dress and made my veil. Her work was *perfect*. She was flexible and able to accommodate my schedule in planning fittings. She is reasonably priced (which is shocking — don’t tell her she could double what she charges and still be under-​priced for her level of expertise!). She is a joyful, affable and sunshine-​y person that I am grateful to include in my wedding planning experience.
I was actually referred to Rodica by a friend whose dress was delivered late and needed to be partially remade last minute (aka, bride’s worst nightmare). Rodica was able to creatively and skillfully save the day.
She is so overqualified and fantastic and I highly recommend her.
