There's a brilliant one just outside Ballinasloe, I would say she's worth going to even though it's far from city. She is amazing at what she does, have seen a few of her wedding dresses and they are beautiful. Let me know if you want her details and I can pass them on.

Getting dress altered by Beata across the road from Belladonna Bridal in Galway on Tuam Rd. She came highly recommended and is supposed to be good value. Quoted me reasonable anyway.

Hi Beata,
Could you PM me details of the lady opposite Belladonna. Did you get your dress altered from her yet?
Thanks,

So sorry that message was for Gatica! I had Beata on the brain!

Thanks a mill Gatica! I presume all went well for your dress? I really appreciate u getting back so fast as I currently have my new dress in a place for alterations that doesn't require dry cleaning. I decided not to go with them (as i wanted to price around) and I collected it this evening after only dropping it in yesterday to discover 4 make up/ blood stains on the dress where pins had been inserted and then removed as I was collecting it. They have denied causing the stains. I am raging as it is a brand new dress never worn by anyone and I was thrilled not having to get it cleaned. They never used gloves when handling the dress. I will be sending them the dry cleaning bill.

Gatica

sorry you had that experience with them. Even new dresses sometimes have stains on them from the bridal shop as unfortunately they sometimes allow others to try it on in the shop before you pick it up. Are you sure they weren't there from the shop? Not all shops do this mind you.
Hope you get it cleaned and modified ok!

I had a very disappointing experience with "Bridal Alterations by Beata," also known as Trendy Treads. I booked my wedding dress alterations months in advance, and Beata confirmed the booking, assuring me she would get in touch in June to schedule an appointment closer to the wedding.

However, June came and went with no communication from her. Despite multiple attempts via text, phone calls, social media messages, and even visits to her studio, I received no response. At first, I was concerned something serious might have happened, like illness or a personal emergency—which I would have completely understood. But I noticed she continued to post updates on her social media platforms during that time, with no acknowledgment of my messages.

Left without answers and with time running out, I had no choice but to find another alterations specialist just weeks before the wedding. This was incredibly stressful and difficult to arrange on short notice.

Since then, I’ve spoken to other brides who have had similar experiences with Beata, which is truly unfortunate. I hope this review helps others make an informed decision.
