Getting my dress altered at Tangs is what transformed my dress from just a beautiful dress I bought to MY wedding dress. It fit me so perfectly, accentuated the right parts of my body and helped enhance my shape. I needed the top taken in, the hem taken up, a bustle and straps added and the front lined. It was so easy to make an appointment and set the pick up day. I dropped it off on January 8th and picked it up February 8th (my wedding was 2/23). I 100% recommend Tang's Alterations. I've added pictures of before the alterations and pics from wedding day! What a difference!

Thank you, Caroline for Tang'sJun 9, 2023Previous reviewTangs is incredible! disclaimer: I'm at the beginning of my bridal alterations, but I called the store this morning in a panic because I thought my wedding dress was too small and I didn't know what to do. I called Tangs and someone got back to me within the hour. The man at the front desk (forgot to ask his name) was so polite and immediately calmed my nerves. He was able to have me come in the same night so Tang could let me know if I did need a new dress size. When I got there, the same man greeted me and knew exactly who I was. Tang assessed the dress and in seconds knew my dress was actually sized perfectly for me. I was SO relieved. She was able to go over a few options and assured me the dress would fit comfortable when the time came. The best part is that they didn't charge me because no alterations were done. I immediately booked my first fitting with them for a later date and I'm excited to see how Tang will transform my dress. Customer service- 10/10!!! thank you Tang and team!

I bought my wedding dress at Tang's and the experience was fantastic. Sandi helped me pick the right dress with care. She even offered to keep it safe for me while I shopped around. I also had it altered here and they were really excellent. My dress fit perfectly

BRIDES! LOOK NO FURTHER! This is the best place to get all your wedding dress alterations taken care of. With my dress not only being expensive but dear to my heart, I was really stressing to find someone I could trust to see my vision for the dress perfectly as well as do a fantastic job. Tang's Bridal did just that! They got me in as quickly as possible and they made everything so easy. They were fast, professional and extremely talented in their work. It's a charming little spot with a staff that is genuine and kind. You can really tell they love what they do! As soon as I dropped off my dress all my stress melted away. I knew it was in perfect hands. My dress was absolutely gorgeous wedding day thanks to Tang's Bridal! I will be recommending this place to all my friends and family. 10/10 experience here!

I had an absolutely wonderful experience with Tang's Alterations for my wedding dress alterations. Tang was not only incredibly sweet but also incredibly patient during our appointments. She showed us various bustle options and helped us choose the one that perfectly complemented the style of my dress. Tang also expertly altered my veil to the most beautiful length, enhancing my overall look. Her recommendation to have my dress washed before alterations was spot on; I couldn't be happier with the result.
Tang, thank you for making my dream dress come to life. Your attention to detail and expertise truly made my wedding day even more special. I can't express how grateful I am for your exceptional service.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

**This is a review from MY personal experience with this establishment. Please use this as a reference and try their services out for yourself.**
I was in need of alterations for a suit I had but only worn twice. I wanted to make it snazzy for a wedding I was attending. I searched Yelp and Google and found Tangs within Manassas, which was pretty close to my house. Judging by the reviews, I knew I would be in luck!! I came in about two weeks in advance (11 days to be exact) to have everything done. The seamstress took my measurements and made the configurations to my suit, and when finished, I paid the full total. Seeing that they were a reputable company, I didn't have an issue with doing so. It was a simple process. They advised that my suit was good to go and would be ready in a week, to be exact. I left there excited to see how it would turn out!
Fast forward to 6 days later... I get a call late in the afternoon by an employee who advises that in order to have my suit configured, I would have to have my pants laundered. My face went from a big smile to a stern pissed look. I was so confused why I wasn't given this IMPORTANT info beforehand and especially since I paid for the service in full!
I had my newborn with me, who I was just about to feed, and I get this call that says my suit isn't ready. The wedding was in 4 days.
I had to drive to pick up the suit from Tangs and find a reputable place for dry cleaning before closing, and take it there only to have to come back the following day, get re-sized, and wait another day to be completed. I'm still livid just thinking about it. I've never had issues not having alterations done all because the suit isn't laundered. In fact I rather get it laundered after the fact because I can keep it sealed and clean until I actually put it on! If this were an actual wedding timeline for anyone else, I know they would freak out for the short notice given. Don't get me wrong, their service when speaking to you was great, but mishaps like this is unacceptable for anyone. Luckily, I was able to get everything done, but they seriously need to have a better system.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 4Oh no 0Business owner information

Darius,
We understand the inconvenience this caused and wish we had caught earlier that the garment needed to be cleaned. We notified you as soon as we discovered it.
Out of courtesy for our seamstress, our machines and our next customers garments that will be altered on the same table we try to only work on clean garments.
Thank you for your feedback and giving us the opportunity to explain our policies.
Sincerely, Kenny - Cameron W.Charlottesville, VA50010471Dec 15, 2022Updated review
Update: my alterations went so smooth and Tang even fit me in last minute when I needed reassurance that my fit was perfect.
I knew Sandi had helped me pick the perfect dress and order the right size when I personally didn't need a tremendous amount of alterations.
I felt so comfortable on my wedding day and didn't need a bra or shapewear (that is also likely due to the type of dress I had) and was not worried about fit at ALL.Helpful 1Thanks 1Love this 1Oh no 0Business owner information

Feb 28, 2022Previous reviewAfter cancellations at other bridal salons due to Covid, weather, and organizing the schedules of my mom and sister that live several hours away, I finally had my first bridal appointment, ever, with my wedding only 8 months away.
Other bridal shops had weeks-long waiting times to get appointments and charged steep fees to even reserve appointments. I was able to make my appointment with a week's notice because I was lucky enough to find a date my mother and sister could be there.
I came to my first appointment with no idea what I wanted or what I was looking for and Sandi guided me through multiple options and deconstructed each dress to educate me on materials/structure/etc. and overall made the experience less overwhelming. I found a dress I loved and instead of pressuring me to say yes on the spot I was encouraged to think about my decision and wasn't cornered into a hard sale.
I made a second appointment with Sandi and used the information of my first visit to narrow down my choices between what I liked on my body and ended up still going with my original dress!
As someone who struggles with decision making, it was so nice to have a consultant that didn't want to pressure me into making an immediate decision and took the extra time to make sure I was actually making the best choice. I'm in love with my dress and can't wait to have it altered at Tang's, too!
