Nina Leal Couture

store was great, dress was beautiful, right on time, quick to do any alterations. very professional.

In the end the dress looked like what I wanted. Getting it to that point was terrible, expensive and very stressful. She was always very late and always behind schedule. She had very poor attention to detail. The beadwork was not properly sewn on and a large part had to be redone (taken somewhere else - $$$) because the beads were falling off. By the deadline when I needed the dress IT WAS NOT FINISHED and I had to take it to another person ($$$$) to have the bottom half of the dress taken apart and redone because it was sewn together crooked and I couldn’t trust that she would have it done in time for my wedding. Nina has some great creative ideas but I DO NOT recommend her for custom work or anything that is on a deadline! Overall, very unhappy with her work.

Nina did a wonderful job on a couture remake gown for me that was almost identical to the dress I wanted. She was easy and fun to work with, and is a very professional dressmaker. Her embroidery is hand stiched in india and the quality is on par with any of the couture gown labels on the market today.
