What Our Brides Say
101 Google Reviews
"I had my wedding dress tailored here and the prices were so reasonable! I had beading on my bodice and a 7 point bustle in the back. They will accommodate walk-ins and always answer the phone. Highly recommend!"
Alex L.
Wedding Dress Client
"With only 5 weeks remaining to my wedding, I rang them to see if it would be possible to alter and add bustling to my wedding gown. Everything was a BREEZE... the dress was PERFECT. I am so incredibly thankful!"
Melissa Jean O.
Pandemic Bride
"I have been going to Le Grand Chic for upwards of 20 years and to have Rosanna alter my wedding dress for my big day was a joy and honor! Absolutely ECSTATIC with how the fit and look of my gown came out."
CC M.
20-Year Client
"They altered my dress with 6.5" taken off on a multiple layer and different fabric per layer dress and even made 6 bustles in one week! They said it was the most complicated dress they've had but they finished in time."
Lea L.
Last-Minute Bride
"I had them alter my wedding dress and am so glad I did! They were careful in their measurements. I honestly couldn't find the seam where they shortened the straps, even when specifically looking for it!"
Sarah B.
Bridal Client
"Wedding dress taken in at the waist and straps shortened for $125 which is super reasonable for the type of alterations needed — lace overlay, multiple layers, taken in via the zipper, replacing buttons, shortening beaded straps."

Years of Craft
A Legacy of
Timeless Artistry
For over two decades, Rosanna and her team at Le Grand Chic have been the trusted hands behind thousands of perfect fits in Medford, Massachusetts. What started as a small alterations shop has grown into the community's go-to atelier for bridal couture and formal wear.
Founded on the principles of traditional European craftsmanship, our atelier handles every garment — from a vintage family heirloom to a contemporary designer piece — with the same reverence and surgical precision. When brides trust us with the centerpiece of their most important day, we take that responsibility to heart.
Our clients return year after year, generation after generation. That trust isn't built on marketing — it's earned one perfect stitch at a time.
