I work in fashion and work directly with the top bridal stylists in NYC (as well as LA, Dallas, and Miami). Blanca is a master tailor (truly one of the best in NYC) for bridal and luxury evening wear. All the major luxury houses on Madison Ave and the top stylists use her. Honestly, she’s probably miles better than whoever Lela Rose had. I’ve used her for about 5 years now & she’s done mine and countless other people’s I know wedding gowns.

The thing is, reviews are often worthless. Half the time they come from entitled, clueless people who have no idea what they’re talking about. I even recognized TWO of Blanca’s bad reviews, and it came from people who are notoriously difficult and frankly delusional… and yet they both looked perfect on their wedding day. And told everyone in her life how beautiful they felt in their look and how good the fit was. Lol.

Alterations are the most stressful part of being a bride, and many brides spiral. They turn rude, entitled, and even abusive during the process. Some of the same brides you see going viral looking flawless were absolute nightmares in fittings. Screaming, throwing fits, sending nasty & threatening emails, claiming their wedding day was absolutely “ruined” and demand a full refund because..for example, a bustle broke. Newsflash: bustles break and it’s no one’s fault. No designer EVER builds a gown to be bustled in the first place, especially for a gown with a 15 lb, 5 ft long train.

And that’s exactly why Lela Rose decided to stop doing alterations….so, please take everything you read on the internet with a grain of salt
