Sossy’s Bridals

It was a difficult decision for me to have a dress made for my son’s wedding, but nothing I saw in the stores or online felt like me, so I came to Sossy The three piece outfit was exactly what I wanted and more. While I came in with a clear picture in my mind of what I wanted, Sossy’s suggestion of the lace top as well as the brilliant stand-​up collar took my idea from plain to elegant. I can’t tell you how many people — many of whom I didn’t know — came up to comment positively on the dress. I have never had a dress that was fitted to me before. At first, I wondered if it would be comfortable as I don’t wear a lot of structured clothes. Would I be able to sit comfortably? To dance in it? It turns out, it was totally comfortable sitting and I danced all night long and felt wonderful in it. It was totally my dress and I can’t thank Sossy enough. It fit perfectly the first time and needed no additional alterations and the whole process was smooth and simple and I got the outfit well in advance of the wedding, so there was no last minute stress. It was truly the perfect outfit for me and I thank Sossy for listening and understanding and making my ideas even better. I can’t recommend her highly enough!

Sossy came to my rescue ! Ordered a bridesmaids dress after getting measured and it came too tight. With the wedding being only a few weeks ago, she was able to fix it within a week. Found her through Unilocal and the reviews are def accurate in my experience. She gave me confidence and felt safe with the dress in her hands. Expensive, but she was able to alter it without any noticeable marks.

My mother of the groom dress — had it made because I’m plus size and wanted a perfect fit.
Egocentric — I don’t know who makes the dresses feature on this website but I can guarantee its NOT her!!! Golden needle??? WTH? No WAY
NIGHTMARE
I hate to write this, but it’s been weighing heavy on my mind., I must let others know. she’s a very sweet lady, that’s the 2 stars. Over priced $$$$ but if the quality was there, it would have been worth it. I wanted silk for my dress, but she said it would be in the thousands if I used silk. Well, I’ve since priced silk dresses both hand made and store bought as well as silk fabric. Her statement was so wrong.
The dress turned out horrible, originally I wanted blush but she somehow convinced me that light pink was «blush» so, wrong color. I took a photo of the dress I wanted, she changed the design around several times, until I emailed her and told her that I wanted the dress on the photo I took her. I told her from day 1, that I didn’t want the lining together with the dress. I wanted a separate slip for under the dress, she said «of course that’s how I do it» well, guess what? Yup, my worst fear. The last fitting she hadn’t been able to get the top right, but she reassure me that it would be, I was afraid since I was leaving to a different state the next morning. Well, I had no choice but to wear this horrible dress and a poncho over the top, because my breast looked lopsided and were ½ way exposed. It was a nightmare, It was so embarrassing I was only on one of the wedding photos of my stepson’s wedding. I’ve been so terrible upset that it took me months to actually come here and write this review.

Rush job: jacket and formal top that needed resizing, less than 24 hours.
Sossy had the perfect solutions for my pieces and worked so quickly. She has the designer’s eye. When you need something done that is important, spend the extra and go see Sossy. She’s worth it!

I came here to get two bridesmaid dresses altered — one long gown and one ao dai. One was several inches too big and the other was too tight. I have to tell you, Sossi was so sweet! She fitted my dress perfectly and offered great suggestions to make it look better. It was ready in a week and she did great work! I can actually eat and move in them! It was a little pricier than I expected, BUT she gave me a 10% discount (I used the Unilocal check-​in offer) and the work she did was top notch. Totally worth every penny. I will be coming back in the future. Great customer service and work!

Sossy was great when it came to altering my wedding gown! It had layers and layers of chiffon and quite a lot had to be done to it to get it to fit right. Sossy being also a designer, knows how to improvise and change a dress if needed to make it fit properly, rather than just simply altering it. In addition, I found a beautiful blouse that was designed by her and made of gorgeous Italian silk that my mom will be wearing at the wedding! I’ll post photos after the big day.

I came in to get my measurements taken, and had a very good experience! Sossy was wonderful, helpful, and knew exactly what to do. The dresses she has in stock are absolutely gorgeous and at a fair price. I highly recommend coming to Sossys for any clothing related needs!

Sossy really helped me out in a pinch! Shortened my chiffon dress with a rolled hem + was sweet as can be!
Great work! Dress length was perfect.

I knew my wedding dress was going to require a lot of work. After reading through many of the reviews on Unilocal.I knew Sossy was the person I needed to go to because she does not only do alterations but she is a designer. My dress was oversized and had lots of beading and I felt like the back of the dress was to wide open in the back. Sossy recommended we add a corset back to the dress, hemmed the dress and adjusted the waistline for me. She transformed my over seized dress into a beautifully fit gown. I’m very happy with the way it turned out. Some people would say she might be a pricey but you get what you pay for. Sossy did a great job and very professional. Beautiful work.

I was walking around the area looking for a tailor that could take a few measurements for a custom suit I’m having done, and I just happened to find this place on Unilocal.I walked in and was immediately greeted by the sweetest lady, Sossy. I explained to her that I just needed a couple measurements taken and she was more than willing to help me out. When she told me she was a designer, I knew my measurements would be in good hands and as accurate as I could hope for. She explained to me how different tailors have different criteria for measurements, but she still did it according to the suit maker’s specifications. If ever I’m in a bind again and in need of precise measurements and possible future alterations, I’m definitely going back to Sossy!

I was the idiot who ordered a too-​small bridesmaid dress from a place that didn’t take returns… with just a month before the wedding, Sossy worked her magic and used the sash to transform the dress into something that would actually zip! She’s an incredibly talented designer and also a miracle worker! Prompt and professional, great for all your tailoring needs.

I tried to stop by this morning to have a dress repaired. Unilocal and Sossy’s window say they open at 11 today, but no one was there. They didn’t answer their phone either, half an hour after they were supposed to open.
Not helpful! I had to go elsewhere. :(

Sossy did a wonderful job on my wedding dress, she listened to what my vision was for it and brought it to life! I brought the dress online, it had to be taken in a lot and I added a lot of details, such as straps and ribbon around the mid section. Sossy transformed my dress from a very simple rack dress to something that looked designer. I had to come in for a couple more sizings than expected, but Sossy was very professional and fair with her pricing. I would definitely recommend her and go to her again!

Had a bridesmaid’s emergency. Dress came in and needed major alterations. Took it to the alterations department at Nordstom ‘s. The seamstress took one look at me in the dress and said there wasn’t anything she could do for me. Stressed out bc I had less than a week to alter the dress, I found Sossy who worked miracles and made the dress fit like a dream. And she did it in 4 days to boot. She saved me from the brides’ wrath and everything ended well.

Sossy did a great job on my kids’ tuxes and couldn’t have been nicer. Kids were running around and she was patient and sweet as can be. I need a shirt altered with only 36 hours notice and she was happy to help. Bring your business here, you won’t be sorry!

Sossy’s Originals is precisely the kind of business that makes me love
!
I’ve driven by Sossy’s, or even walked by, hundreds if not thousands of times. She’s on the corner, right across from Trader Joes on Riverside. I would have never thought to stop in if not for a quick Unilocal search for bridal dress shops in the area.
I popped in to Sossy’s to see if she could help me with a problem I’ve created for myself. I purchased a rather lovely and amazing vintage dress off Etsy. and it doesn’t fit me, and has no zipper. I brought it in to Sossy to see if she could fix it, since she’s a designer and not a mere seamstress, I figured she might have a unique perspective on the dress.
Sossy was friendly & helpful– she explained that the work involved would likely not be worth the cost, as the design of the dress & the beadwork involved would make it a labor-​intensive process.
It might sound odd– but sometimes being turned away by an expert only helps to illustrate how badly you might need their expertise! I’ll definitely return & write an update.

I needed to get my measurements taken for a bridesmaid’s dress that will be sewn overseas for a wedding. While other places have said «no», or wanted to charge a ridiculous amount for just taking my measurements, Sossy was very kind and took my measurements patiently. Oh, and did I mention that she didn’t charge a penny and said she just wanted to help with my situation. Even though I didn’t get anything made by Sossy, I will for sure become a customer in the future and will definitely refer my friends to her. Thanks Sossy!!! :)

OMG I thank God soo much for Sossy, she is a life saver!!! I am so grateful to her for coming through for me, she fixed my wedding dress for me, sewed a bolero for me from scratch and it took her about 2 to 3 weeks to finish every thing. I didn’t think my dress could look better but it did, thanks to her!!! =D

I came to Sossy’s to get my wedding dress fitted. It was strapless and seemed kind of floppy around the top and the zipper stuck a little. I had purchased it from a store that had to custom order it, so I didn’t get to see or try it on until it was shipped to me. Putting on the dress Sossy knew and saw exactly what needed to be done, and even made a recommendation of adding a sash with buttons around the waist (it looked great).
I didn’t ask pricing, just saw the Unilocal reviews and wanted to have a no-​fuss/​stress when it came to the dress. She is a bit pricey and I was actually a little shocked seeing the cost when it came down to what she really had to do. I felt ripped off.
OK Fast forward–
The week before the wedding I tried on the dress one more time and the zipper still kept sticking! So there I am, dress half on, trying to figure out how to unzip or zip up this stuck thing when I hear a rip. Being a bride to be the week before the wedding, this was literally the end of the world for me. I called Sossy and flew over there with the dress 10 minutes later showing her what was wrong. She began to explain that she couldn’t do anything about it because she didn’t DESIGN the dress. Hello! You tailor clothing all day and you’re telling me you cannot fix a zipper that I already paid you to fix which is now still broken? I began to lose my cool and she finally agreed to fixing it at no cost and with a tight deadline.
Everything turned out OK in the end but I definitely won’t be taking any more clothing there. Sorry, pictures of celebrities wearing your glitter dresses on the walls or not, it’s not worth my time or money to waste there anymore.

Top Notch Customer service! Sossy is a PRO! Amazing Job! I had a complicated jeans issue with a hole in them and the size was too big. She tightened them up and patched the hole so it blended nicely with the jeans at a really good price. Impossible is possible when you don’t expect it! :) deeply appreciate it.
