We are a high-end, highly skilled bridal atelier specializing in couture and beaded bridal design and European tailoring. We have been in business since 1977. 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.

Our way of operating i s very unique and unfamiliar to some. We don´t sweet talk to get your business. We are upfront and right to the point. That is one of the reasons we have become so popular amoungst those wanting the best, and has distinguished us from the others. Our focus is to provide the best results and look for our brides, not to provide the best PR and advertising for our selevs! We offer the best and most comprehensive services and bridal accessories in the industry.

We only work on bridal gowns, and occasionally on evening gowns. We custom design and custom make bridesmaid's dresses ONLY if they are considered evening gowns and paid for accordingly. We 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 provide free consultations work on any other types of clothing, or respond to any requests about doing so, or provide free consultations.

Our unlimited ability and higher skill, as well as our can-do attitude, open a whole world of varieties and possibilities—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 bridal gown, bridal accessories, and projects. 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 if alterations are needed!) 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, and bridal headbands. We are helpful to 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, but 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 facts that the "fit" matters, best cost more. Those who know their wedding gown is the most important aspect of their wedding and does not deserve cutting corners. Considering our high skill, doing alterations with us will cost more than what a bridal shop, or a tailor shop charge in LA.

We are by appointment only, however without a long wait. We are not designed to take phone calls, or make calls to our clients. To ensure clear and concise communications and references all appointments and/or inquiries are done through our website and by email only. We respond to emails very quickly—normally same day (if the information is properly provided and the budget and project sync and received with enough time to the closing time). We are exceptionally o rganized and that makes the whole process hassle and stress-free for our brides.

We do not “manufacture” gowns, belts, headbands, or veils— They are made individually and uniquely. Whether the project is alterations on a purchased gown or for a custom-designed and custom-made gown and accessories, nothing is outsourced; all the work is done here.
