Zoya Designs Sewing School

This review is long overdue! Zoya’s altered my wedding dress last summer and they did such a fantastic job. They are professional, prompt, affordable, and very talented. I am 5’4” and I was worried about how hemming my dress would affect the beautiful lace & train… it turned out absolutely PERFECT! The length was spot on and I think it made the train look even better somehow. The bustle was a little tricky to do but it held all night and looked great. I wore my dress all night and it was extremely comfortable thanks to Zoya’s! Highly recommend trusting them with your most important garments.

I had such a pleasant, easy experience working with Zoya’s team getting my wedding gown altered. There were a lot a lot! of layers of tulle that needed to be hemmed and bustled, and they were able to make sure the bust was a perfect fit. Even my beaded belt was beautifully altered for a perfect, snug fit. I really appreciate the transparency of the pricing, on top of the excellent service. My dress fit absolutely perfectly, and this was such an easy, stress-free experience. Everyone I met with was friendly and knowledgeable. Zoya came highly recommended to me by a costume designer friend, and I’m very thankful! What a gem. I’ll be coming back with all my tailoring, and you should too.

Absolute magic! I bought a dress for my dad's wedding online my first mistake, and it turned out that the asymmetrical neckline did not fit my larger top. So I went to Zoya with very little hope since the dress was too tight not loose and how can you fix that? Well I'll tell you, they reshaped the neckline and loosened the tight band cutting into my arm and made it look better than I imagined!!! They are truly magicians and at a very reasonable price!

Took one of Zoya’s sewing classes on alterations and tailoring clothes, and it was excellent. Super practical and helpful, with plenty of time to ask questions and pick her brain

Zoya is amazing! My mother made my wedding dress and Zoya did all the alternations. She also made some simple changes to make it look professional and less homemade. She is very talented and well priced.

My partner and I got our wedding dresses altered at Zoya Designs and had a fabulous experience. The staff were friendly, professional, and very body-positive and queer-friendly. They made our dresses fit beautifully! We highly recommend Zoya Designs for any alterations you need!

Zoya replaced the lining in my favorite blue blazer. It looks better than brand new and will give me many more years out of this blazer. While i live in Virginia, Zoya was easy to work with through email and USPS. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

I took the beginner class. I was part of a nice group of 5. Zoya is very kind, she knows how to explain how to our machines. She takes time to answer every questions. She is very generous and allows us to use a lot of tools from the shop. She gave me some great advices to be more efficient. If you have to miss a class, she makes it easy to do a make up class. It was really nice for me to get out of the house and do something for myself. I really liked that we had to come up with our own very personal project and to all the steps to make it real. It's also really nice to be in a group and keep an eye on what the others are doing, gave me ideas for future projects. Time flies, the classes are over and i miss it !

I brought my bridesmaid dress that I had purchased from David's Bridal in for alterations. I didn't want to pay $200 just to have it hemmed. Zoya noticed that the boning in the bodice kept poking me so offered to replace it. I was thrilled since the person at David's Bridal said there was nothing that they could do about it and I would have to suffer through the wedding.

They got my dress done on time , although I feel the owner would have rather had me not come in at all, it seemed like quite the inconvenience for her.
