CHICHERE studio by Theresa Chen

Theresa is more than about business - she’s a wonderful person, and it’s been such a great experience working with her. I have had her assistance with the alterations of two wedding dresses, and some additional custom commissions for other wedding outfits. Tell Theresa your vision, and she will make your dreams come true. She will make sure that the dress is more than just a dress. It will be something that represents you, your style, and suits you. She is honest, professional, personable, and works with you with your budget in mind. She is very communicative, great with deadlines, and making sure her work is perfect. I could go on and on. Work with Theresa, it will be one of the best experiences you could have!

I brought my wedding dress to Theresa for alterations this past summer and she was an absolute pleasure to work with! She was able to change the neckline on my dress to better fit me and also made me the most beautiful custom wings for my veil. Her quality of work is top tier with fair pricing and she made sure I was comfortable and confident in my dress. Highly recommend Theresa!

It was such a pleasure to work with Theresa. She is such a nice person and brings about great experience (which you can tell from her great advice and suggestions). Theresa worked wonders on my sample dress. My dress had to be sized down by at least 2-3 sizes and she was able to make it fit perfectly! Theresa was so accommodating and quick to reply to my inquiries. I did not feel stressed at all during the whole alteration process. Thank you again Theresa!

Theresa came recommended to me from a girl friend, who had nothing but amazing things to say about working with her. After our initial wedding plans were cancelled/altered due to Covid, I had rushed out to purchase a consignment dress as a replacement for this year.When I first met Theresa, it was clear that she's incredibly kind, knowledgeable and talented! Her attention to detail is absolutely amazing! Much like my girl friend's experience, she found small things that I wasn't aware of/couldn't see for myself and helped perfect them to make my dress feel more like me. Since the dress was shorter than I remembered, she also had suggestions for shoe height, which worked out perfectly!I'm excited to work with her again next Summer as we design a custom veil and alter my original dress. I most definitely recommended her expertise :) Thanks so much again Theresa!

I bought my gown at rituals of love bridal and they recommended me to Theresa for alternations. Theresa was so much fun to work with and we connected instantly. She has such great taste and I loved how my dress turned out - totally worth every dollar. We even have fun ideas of how to redesign the dress into a more wearable piece after the wedding - I can’t wait to work more with her in the future! Would recommend Theresa any day.

Theresa has been so wonderful to work with on my dress alterations and custom veil. Her warm kind service and attention to detail was the highlight of my dress shopping experience. I am eloping and wanted my mom and best friend and her mom to see me in my dress and not only was Theresa accommodating but her space was such a lovely setting to have this experience. Her pricing is very reasonable and she went above and beyond to make the dress and veil perfect for my wedding day in Greece! I can’t recommend her enough!

I met Theresa at blush Bridal a year ago when I shopped for my wedding dress, and she helped me to pick my favorite Berta dress. A year later, I had the pleasure to have her not only altering my Berta dress, but also customizing another elegant white dress for my elopement this Summer.I had to say that I loved the customized dress even more than my Berta dress. She spent a lot of time talking to me back and forth, and the design is really “me”. I really love that she add that drawstring element at the back which gives a little classic touch to the dress. Also, she did not waste any of the leftover material from my Berta Dress alteration, instead blending them into the second dress and a matching veil.I think this white dress will be my goto outfit for my future anniversaries, and the design is just so classic that it will never be out of date. If you are looking for a customized dress, I am 100% recommend Theresa for that.

I was referred to her by Blush Bridal and if you have any dress alterations, I highly recommend Theresa.Initially, I was concerned about someone else butchering my wedding dress but upon meeting Theresa, she spoke FASHION TERMINOLOGY. I knew from my gut that I was able to trust her to make the dress how I envisioned it. Theresa was also really efficient because it only took her a few days to finish it - my dress had a LOT OF WORK, fyi.I just picked up the dress and not only am I relieved that it turned out more than perfect, but I am also in-love again with my wedding dress! I look forward to my wedding day, next year (post - covid) and I will certainly be a returning client, if I need new alterations in the new year.Thank you, Theresa! I love my dress lol !!!

Theresa helped me out last year with fitting my wedding dress. She stepped in very last minute when my original appointment with another seamstress got cancelled. Theresa was recommended from the store where I bought my wedding dress and I am super happy that I got her contact information. Theresa made sure that she could help me just in time before my wedding (I was on a very tight schedule). I was super happy with her service, kind personality, and quality of work. I needed a second small alteration very close to my wedding day (probably happens to many brides) and Theresa made it happen to ensure I was ready for the big day.

I went here for wedding gown alterations - Theresa was amazing - she was professional and friendly. She made me feel confident and helped guide me in how best to alter the dress to fit me best. The dress turned out beautiful and I couldn't be happier! Would recommend!
