Vivian’s Tailor Shop

I wish there were 10 stars. Vivian completely rebuilt my wedding dress exactly how I wanted it. It came out better than I could have hoped since I know nothing about sewing so I didn’t even know if what I wanted was possible. And she did it on a huge time crunch. I cannot say enough good things about her. When I told my old seamstress what I wanted to do, she looked scared and tried to talk me out of it. But then someone recommended I see Vivian. When I told her my vision, she was completely confident and put me at ease.
My dress was gorgeous and a resounding success. Everyone raved about how perfect it was for me. Unlike anything I would have been able to get off the rack.
Pics included. Enjoy, I did and didn’t want to ever take it off.

I bought a dress at a consignment shop that had a ruffle on the shoulder that I didn’t like so I went to Vivian to get it fixed, I explained to her that I could do it myself but the dress would have to be taken apart and I didn’t want to make a mistake so I wanted a professional. She said «yes, I will have to take it apart» etc. When I went to pick it up she had not taken it apart, only sewn it down and it looked a little silly with pieces sticking out. I reminded her what I wanted and she said «oh I would have had to take it apart» clearly not remembering our conversation. However, she was very nice and had me try it on and tacked it down where it was sticking out, fixing it on the spot and made it look ok. She also took 10 dollars off of the price. All in all I would go to her again.

My fiancée, my soon to be mother in law and myself chose Vivian’s as our tailor for our upcoming wedding. She worked with my fiancée in creating a custom wedding dress that she is over the moon about and fitted both myself and mother in law for what we are going to wear. Vivian is just super friendly and easy to work with. She hasn’t put any pressure on us, hasn’t gotten bossy and is really flexible. Not to mention, she also seems like an overall good person and is easy to talk to. Although we live on the East Bay, I would definitely take the ride over to her for any tailoring needs in the future!

I am so happy that I finally found a real tailor in Rhode Island! Vivian is fantastic. Her workmanship is excellent and her tailoring is flawless!

Vivian rocks! I brought in a vintage ’50’s prom dress that was too small (those girls were tiny!)and she altered it perfectly!!! No pressure, and very reasonably priced.
It is worth the drive to go see Vivian!
