What a fabulous little gem in the heart of Niles district! The owner, Violetta, is a trained fashion design from Paris, France! You can tell she was trained well as everything she creates is of the finest caliber. I am so glad that I came to her for my alterations! Truth be told, I wish I had had her just create my dress from scratch in the first place; as it took me ages to find this dress and then I needed to have it altered quite a bit. My experience here was nothing short of wonderful. From the owner to her staff to her amazing creations, I felt like I was in very capable hands, I could relax while she worked her magic on my dress. Thank you Violetta! HIGHLYRECOMMEND!

I happen to win a free custom garter set in a drawing they held for those who attended the Bay Area Bridal show in Pleasanton. I met with the shop owner, brought in a Chevelle pin to add to the garter and she added it and made it look like it belonged there. Her work is beautiful! I highly recommend going to her to get blinged out for your wedding!

Violetta is such a sweetheart and a pleasure to work with! I first met her at a bridal show and I was intrigued with her style and design because they were unique. As a bride-to-be, I was always looking for something different to make my wedding day extraordinary with the details not only for myself but my guests to see. I used VioGemini for altering my wedding dress, accessories for my wedding shoes, bridesmaid gifts, bridal sash, garters and even my flower girls’ lace fingerless gloves! Violetta is very talented, I trust her judgement and she will customize your needs to your liking! I’m a detailed oriented person and she brought a lot ideas for my wedding day! She also sells her stuff on Etsy. I love that she is local and would definitely refer her! Thanks again VioGemini… I would get married again and do it all over again !

Wow! I purchased a wedding gown very last minute online. I needed a dress quickly but I am very small(5’0″ 90 lbs) so couldn’t buy any sample gowns or anything like that. Anyway, I needed to get my gown altered to fit me perfectly. Vio Gemini is truly a one stop wonder. The dress alterations were perfect, bustle was great. It looked great. I also purchased a sash, custom veil, and matching hair piece. The added bling made a world of a difference and I looked 1000000x better! I’m so happy I chose a custom veil and could pick pretty lace that matched my dress. I’m having a second wedding(a Chinese wedding ceremony) in a few weeks and have another big red gown to get altered! I wouldn’t come anywhere else to get it altered. P. S. I would definitely call to make an appointment before coming!

Each bridal gown,(and the accessories) are all one of a kind, hand made. Every detail is accounted for, resulting in a stunning ensemble. If you are searching for a look that is tailored specifically to your style — look no further. Violetta is incredibly gifted and understands what works — what has punch, and what pops. Every client I have referred to Violetta has been completely satisfied. You owe it to yourself to see Violetta.

Violetta came to us as an «angel!» We contracted her to design a couture gown for a Napa Styled Wedding and she came through in more ways than one! First, her enthusiasm and energy were endless and she was thrilled to help us create the right look and feel. Her gown was absolutely amazing and fit perfect like a glove. To this day all we receive are rants and raves from our wedding photos. She took it several steps beyond what I expected and in a sense«styled» the entire look with accessories like a red shrug, sash, a brooch bouquet, and flowers. She cares greatly about her designs but she also cares a great deal for her clients! I was privileged to be in such great hands we trusted in her and she delivered HUGE! I plan to recommend her to every bride to be for couture gowns or any gal seeking other couture formal evening gowns and embellishments. I love her bling sashes, garters, fascinators, and her outstanding brooch crystal bouquets. Stunning to say the least!!! Very excited about this gifted and lovely artist and businesswoman!!!
