Elina and her team go above and beyond with their perfectionism and professionalism. I trust them 100% for alterations on whatever needs to be done, whether it is simple hemming or refined, intricate work for formal attire. They are excellent.

Elina is an artist with an extraordinary sense of style. She is a perfectionist and all her clients leave her shop with beautifully fitting and flattering clothes. The title of tailor does not do justice to her abundant skills and creativity. Elina sees possibilities and has the patience and talent to work magic to make her clients look their best. Elina has been re-engineering clothing for me for over 25 years. She is the finest!

Elina has made my 2 wedding dresses fit me better than I could have imagined. Her and her sister worked very long hours to make them perfect. She is also very responsive and and works fast. I will continue to go to her shop. She’s also the sweetest person!

I love the beautiful job that Elina did with my Lafayette 148 dress! It fits like a glove. The professional service and great customer service was superior. I highly recommend Elina and her staff. Elina treats everyone with respect which is rare these days. I would trust Elina with anything.

Elina has done a couple of varied projects for me and I am always delighted with the outcome. Her work, along with her staff's, is top-notch and prompt and she is so pleasant and helpful throughout the process. She does her best to accommodate your schedule and offers helpful advice. I will continue to patronize her business and happy to recommend her to friends!

Elina was recommended to me by a family member who has had wonderful work done in the past. I have had a few garments tailored by Elina, and she is always thorough, professional, and has an amazing eye. When it came time to have my wedding dress fitted, there was truly only one person I trusted to do it right and I was not let down. Elina took such care with my dress, and knew all the extra touches and tweaks to make to take my dress from being a beautiful garment to truly being MY wedding dress. It fit me like a glove, and I have truly never felt better about how I looked than I did in that dress. She also had wonderful insight into how to set up the bustle in a way that made it easy for my MOH to help me with and was just the right drape that it looked just as good bustled as with the train down. It was comfortable, too. Elina knew just how much to take the mermaid skirt in while still giving me access to any restroom needs which was a weight off my shoulders. She truly has a gift for tailoring and takes great care in her work.

I have worked with Elina for several years, and brought her a wide range of garments from dresses to skirts to formal coats. When it came time to alter my mother of the bride dress for my daughter's wedding, I knew Elina would make me look my best. I have always been impressed with her craftsmanship, professionalism, and the care she puts into each garment she is working with. She has gone above and beyond for me several times and I will be happy to work with her again on any future needs I have. I know when I leave something with Elina, it will turn out beautifully.

Elina is the best tailor in Minneapolis. I have relied on her expert alterations for the last 20 years and would be lost without her!

Elina is the gem of the Galleria. A gifted tailor and designer, her wedding dresses are polished perfection. I rely on her for alterations.., and she always delivers the perfect fit.

Elina is the absolute best! She has worked on dresses for both my sister and I for a variety of occasions and they have always turned out AMAZING! Not only is she wildly talented, but she is the kindest person. She always makes me feel confident and beautiful in what I am wearing. On multiple occasions when I have ordered dresses online that needed alterations in length, she has been able to make them fit perfect all in a timely fashion. And, when I needed a more complicated alteration on the neck of my dress, she went above and beyond to find a fix that kept the integrity of the dress and matched what I was looking for. I would 100% recommend Elina to anyone looking for a tailor, she is the best of the best!

Thank you thank you thank you! I have had an absolutely wonderful experience with my bridal dress alterations from Elina. Several years ago she helped my sister with her bridal dress (at the same time altering my bridesmaid dress as well), and for my wedding I knew exactly where to go. The dress I ordered came five inches too small but Elina made it fit beautifuly. With only one fitting, I tried my dress on and couldn’t believe how perfect it fit on me. Elina even offered to steam my veil for free! I strongly recommend Elina to anyone looking for bridal alterations!

I brought my dress here after hearing some raving reviews about how great Elina’s work was including doing alterations for many celebrities. She did not take formal measurements and asked me to come to my wedding dress fitting alone (after allowing me to have a family member before). My dress was purchased in a larger size so needed to be taken in. When I came to try it on-my mom who came with despite being asked to come alone had to push the skin down my back in order to zip the dress. Clearly it looked terrible and she just stated how perfect it was and didn’t offer to change anything. She made some fat shaming comments to me. (I’m not fat and wear a size 6). And the bustle was terrible with different visible colored threads and buttons.. brought my dress elsewhere to have it fixed and they asked if I had tried to do the alterations myself! Elina had cut the fabric. Making it impossible to let the dress out, so my expensive wedding dress had to have a corset sewn into it so I could wear it on my wedding day. This all happened within 2-3 weeks of my wedding. Do not go here. Very unprofessional and very impersonal/Cold customer service.
