Gerry Bryan’s Custom Dressmaking & Alterations

I was in a total panic — it was five days before my wedding and despite having my dress altered twice by the bridal salon I bought it from, it STILL didn’t fit correctly. I didn’t have a clue as to who could do a professional alteration on such short notice.
I called Promenade Fabrics looking for a recommendation, figuring that a shop that sells pricey designer fabric would probably know some talented seamstresses and dressmakers! Without hesitation, they suggested miss gerry. I called her, explained the problem and her response was, «when can you bring it over?» Within an hour, I was in her cute little shop, getting pinned.
From the moment i walked into her shop, i knew i was in capable hands. There were beautiful dresses and gowns hanging everywhere. miss gerry radiated kindness and patience. I could tell the second she started pinning me that she knew EXACTLY what she was doing.
Four days later, the dress was done. I tried it on and it fit like a glove. It was amazing — on Monday, the dress looked like a potato sack on me and I was convinced I’d made a horrible mistake in selecting the gown that I did. On Friday, after miss gerry’s work was done, that same dress looked like a million bucks.
Not only did miss gerry do flawless and amazing work, but she did it quickly and for an extremely reasonable price. She didn’t rush me through the fitting. In fact, she spent an extra 20 minutes with me, teaching me how to properly bustle my dress (something that the bridal salon should have showed me and never did!) The bridal salon was only interested in making sure that my dress «fit» — as in, it was the right length, and the right size. They weren’t concerned about tailoring it to my curves and flatter my shape. Miss gerry knew the «tweaks» to make that turned this dress into a show-​stopper.
This woman is a total gem! A talented professional with a kind heart. Do not go anywhere else!

I was able to walk in and get fitted for my dress alteration without an appointment. Was ready in one week… was a floor length dress with multiple layers that needed to be hemmed. Was very happy with the final results. Cash only.

Same day service — Last minute alternation — nicest woman on the planet! She needs more positive reviews– I came in — she measured me and told me an amazing local place to eat while she got the work finished — was back in 1 hour and the work she did was perfect. If you need anything done– definitely give her a call– 25 bucks for same day service is unheard of where I’m from– thanks ladies!

So after more time has passed, finally Gerry said that she could not fix my dress (that she had made and F’ed up).
We took my dress elsewhere, to pay yet another person to fix it, who today said that the dress is ultimately ruined, Gerry cut it wrong. Thank you gerry for taking about $ 500 worth of fabric, crystals and other materials and a half year of my life and throwing them both down the shitter.
If i still lived in nola i’d stand outside her office with a sign, and post negative/​honest reviews about her all over town, on every street post, mailbox, etc that i could find. Gerry owes me $ 800. i despise her.
