Mina Design and Tailoring has been in business since 1977 and is a high-end, highly skilled bridal atelier specializing in couture and beaded bridal design and tailoring. Mina's dresses have been worn to the Emmy's, Academy Awards, Oscars, and a slew of other high profile dinners, functions, and award ceremonies.
We only work on bridal gowns, and occasionally on evening gowns. We custom design and make bridesmaid's dresses if they are considered evening gowns and paid for accordingly, and alter them only as a courtesy to brides we are already working with. Due to the nature of our specialty, the high level of our work, and our limited openings, we are unable to work on any other types of clothing or respond to any requests about doing so.
Our way of operating is very unique and unfamiliar to some, but it is one of the reasons we have become so popular and distinguished from others. We offer the best and most comprehensive services in the industry, but our focus is on making the bride's dreams come true. We work to provide the best results and fit for our brides, not to provide the best PR and advertising for ourselves.
Our unlimited ability and skill, as well as our can-do attitude, open a whole world of variety and possibility—being able to choose and have options is priceless. We require a reasonable and sufficient budget to set an appointment, since we offer our brides only the highest level of quality and design in every gown and project. We are perfectionists and detail-oriented, which benefits our brides. However, that makes us unable to provide any free services, estimate any costs, or provide any suggestions without seeing the bride (and her dress!) and getting all the details in person.
We custom design, custom-make, replicate, combine designs, modify, restyle, add embellishments, and provide couture bridal alterations. We also custom-make and sell wedding belts, veils, and bridal headbands. We can also help religious brides and others with any kind of modification or build-up, and create custom boleros and jackets. We can work on any type of gown, no matter how detailed and complicated they are. However, they must meet the standards, have never been altered, and be in good condition. We do not work on vintage dresses.
We are the best choice for brides who appreciate artistic couture design and tailoring, have higher standards, and are aware of the fact that the "fit" is what matters—their wedding gown is the most important aspect of their wedding and does not deserve cutting corners.
We are by appointment only, but you can easily schedule one at your convenience. We are not designed to take or make calls, but to ensure clear and concise communications and references all inquiries and appointments are done through our website and by email. We respond to emails very quickly—normally within the hour (if the information is properly provided and the budget and project sync). We are exceptionally organized and that makes the whole process hassle and stress-free for our brides.
We do not manufacture gowns, belts, headbands, or veils—each is made individually and uniquely. Whether the project is for a custom-designed and made gown, or is work on an existing gown, nothing is outsourced; all the work is done here.
