From the reviews

Melida is the head seamstress at Blu Rayne Bridal Boutique. I met her when I went for my first bridal fitting. I needed a ton of alterations because every time I went back to see her, I lost more weight!

★★★★★ — Ashley, Oct 2023

I had the most incredible experience here for my wedding dress alterations. Melida was patient and fixed some existing damage I had on my dress. Her repairs were flawless and the dress fits like a glove. She streamed my dress beautifully for pick up and it was a completely stress free experience. Thank you so much.

★★★★★ — Danielle, Jan 2025

Melida is incredible and does beautiful work and makes you feel comfortable and makes sure you are 100% happy with everything. She made my bridal dress fit me like a glove and I could not recommend her and her services/staff enough! Thank you Melida.

★★★★★ — Lindsey, Aug 2024

Plus size bridal & formal at Melida's Velvet Boutique

Melida's Velvet Boutique comes up for plus size bridal and formal wear — confirmed on their own site. Two things to know before the trip. First, bridal shopping is usually by appointment — book ahead, and when you call, ask what size range their try-on samples come in. A shop can order almost any gown in your size, but the sample sizes on the floor decide whether you actually get to see yourself in the dress, and the good plus bridal shops stock samples to try, not just to imagine. Second, plan the alterations timeline: gowns and formal dresses typically go through two or three fittings, so the comfortable window is starting your search around 8–10 months before the date and saying yes to a gown by 6. Alterations are mentioned on site here, which makes the fitting logistics a whole lot easier.
