My Cat ‘Ate’ My Wedding Dress

Bridal emergencies unfortunately happen.  One weekend, a bride learned that her cat decided to ‘restyle’ her beautiful, designer wedding gown by scratching holes into the pleated bottom portion of the skirt – and emailed us immediately.  With her wedding the following weekend, you can imagine how upset she was.  Along with her email, she provided an image of the damage.  We evaluated the situation and let her know what work was needed.

Happy to say that the bride has her dress and is very pleased with the results!

“I wanted to thank you and your team for fixing my dress on such a short notice.  It looks great….”

“My name is Marie Hunt and I am the owner of Headpiece.com. Hallak Couture Cleaners is where I send every bridal client who wishes to have their vintage headpiece or veil re-designed by us. Hallak Couture Cleaners is the only place I recommend! They have cleaned my own custom designs including heirloom christening gowns, communion dresses, and most recently my hand-designed mother of the bride gown along with my daughter’s wedding gown and French lace veils. They know it all when it comes to cleaning and preservation. We will be featuring this incredibly tedious process on our upcoming blog so you can see the value of having the experts do it right. Join us on our blog on March “Fourteenth” and make sure you go to Hallak for a detailed evaluation, cleaning, and preservation of the most important gown you have ever worn in your life! https://headpiece.com/blog/”

“I had the most amazing experience working with Hallak.  I purchased my dress at Glamour Closet and needed quite a few alterations.  I had three fittings and each one was better than the previous one.  They made each change exactly as requested.  Their work greatly exceeded my expectations.

I also appreciated the overall tone and feel of Hallak – they were attentive and helpful, but not at all pretentious.  I felt very comfortable and I knew they were happy to accommodate my needs.

I highly recommend working with Hallak to get the perfect bridal dress fit.”

“George, Hallak’s tailor, was incredible!  I bought a designer sample sale dress that had a very intricate and delicate lace pattern all over and he went above and beyond to ensure that every single individual flower was in the right place and made as many alterations as we requested.  I was incredibly nervous to have the dress altered in anyway and he was a great listener and gave great advice – I was thrilled with the outcome.”

“Hallak was recommended to my by the Nicole Miller shop where I purchased my wedding dress.  They were amazing!  I ordered my dress a size too big but it fit perfectly by the time they were done!”

Here are a few customer testimonials from this month:

“I received my coat yesterday, fresh and clean.  I am writing to thank your company for taking such good care with my coat.  It looks spectacular – exactly as it did when it was new. The fabric glows.  I am so delighted.  I had to tell you.  Now that I know where to send it for cleaning, i will be much happier and more relaxed wearing it next fall and winter.”
