Working with the ladies at Clarissa Boutique was an absolute dream From my very first dress fitting to the day I picked up my dress, they were kind, attentive, and very helpful/honest! Gretchen is a master seamstress – she and Penny worked their magic to make my dress fit perfectly, even in the areas I was most self-conscious about. Deenie and Jeanne are wonderful to work with as well, as all four of them worked with me to complete my look, finding what veil and accessories complemented my dress! They have a large, beautiful selection, and I got my six bridesmaids earrings that went well with mine. Their team’s attention to detail and experience working with different types of dresses truly shows. It’s easy to see why their services are so in demand and sought after among Pittsburgh brides – but you would never know it based on the turnaround time! They were so quick (yet thorough!) throughout the alterations process and made me feel like a princess

I recently had my wedding dress altered at Clarissa Boutique, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! From the moment I walked in, Penny, Gretchen, and Earldine were incredibly welcoming and attentive. They took the time to understand my vision and made suggestions that truly enhanced the overall look of the dress. Not only did they expertly alter my dress, ensuring it fit perfectly, but they also went above and beyond by helping me find the perfect earrings and veil to complete my look. Their suggestions were spot-on, and I truly appreciated their eye for detail. The turnaround time for the alterations was impressive, and I was thrilled with the final result. My dress fit like a glove and looked even more beautiful than I had imagined. Overall, I had a wonderful experience at Clarissa’s Boutique, and I highly recommend them to any bride looking for expert alterations and thoughtful service. Thank you for making my wedding dress truly perfect!

I had a wonderful experience at Clarissa’s Boutique! I felt very welcomed, and I really appreciated the attention and customer service. I came in originally to browse for a hair piece, and left with both a beautiful hair piece as well as a veil. I was undecided about wearing a veil initially, but after trying one on at the store, I was convinced! They helped me find the perfect simple veil that wouldn’t take away too much from the detail in my dress. And in the end I’m so happy I decided to go with a veil – it really makes you feel like a bride!

We originally heard about them through our bridal store who recommended them to alter my Mom’s 43 year old veil. Once they took off the skull cap and added the comb to my mom’s cathedral length veil, we found out they did alterations. After a very reasonable free estimate, we decided to go with them. Absolutely amazing. Few visits, and always felt very at ease during the process. I wore my dress ALL night and it was perfect. Alterations fit like a dream and the bustle was great. I also bought my hair piece from them and it was beautiful.

Clarissa’s Boutique was the perfect place for me to find a hair piece for my wedding. I booked a consultation with them and I am so glad I did! Penny was so friendly and went above and beyond to make sure I found the perfect piece for my big day! They have a good selection, and have other items for weddings and other special events! Will definitely return to the boutique when I have another special event in the future!

Clarissa Boutique did an excellent job restoring and altering my mom’s veil. They transformed it from yellowed and dated to brand new and elegant! They also created beautiful custom hair pieces out of it. I’m very happy with it!! They also did a great job hemming and bustling my wedding dress, which I had bought off the rack. All this took only a few months which included a consultation and fitting.

I had a great experience at Clarissa’s and went back several times! I initially went to purchase a veil after a suggestion from a friend – they had dozens of beautiful options that could be customized to your desired length and shade to match your dress. I went back a second time for jewelry and a few hair pieces – the ladies that work at the shop are so helpful! I went back a third time with my mother to pick out jewelry and a hair piece for her as a gift – they were so sweet and were able to convert a bobby pin style to a comb and my mom was thrilled with it and her earrings. They also have lots of cute gifts as well!

I highly recommend Clarissa’s for a personalized bridal accessory shopping experience! I made an appointment and they helped me pick out my wedding day jewelry. I got to try on several options and we discussed what I liked/didn’t like until we found the perfect pieces. I also was able to find a bracelet to gift out 1 year old flower girl. I went back when I was looking for a white robe to wear the morning of the wedding. I found a robe I loved, but wasn’t in love with the lace on it. The staff ordered a lace that matched what I had in mind and customized the robe for me. I cannot thank them enough for everything they did to help me find the pieces that made me feel beautiful on our wedding day!

My experience at Clarissa Boutique was nothing short of exceptional! My grandmother wanted to purchase my veil, so we made an appointment to visit with my dress. The owner spent over an hour with us helping choose the perfect veil and accessories to compliment my gown. She is very talented; the veil I chose was actually the first one she picked for me! I cannot wait to wear my veil and jewelry on my wedding day, and I highly recommend this boutique for all your bridal accessories (veil, jewelry, head pieces, clutches, hats, robes, and more)!

Erica Seifert: I highly recommend Clarissa Boutique to any bride! To be honest, I had initially looked online for my accessories, and felt overwhelmed by the options. I came on a weekday afternoon and had a lovely experience. The personalized attention from Penny was absolutely fabulous! She was patient and provided very sound, honest, but tasteful advice about all of my wedding accessories and overall look. I purchased earrings, a bracelet, headpiece, and a veil, and they all coordinated well and were great quality. They were able to tailor the veil to fit my height and make a few adjustments. It was an overall amazing experience!

The ladies at Clarissa Boutique were incredibly kind, patient and lovely to work with leading up to my wedding. Gretchen was wonderful in helping both me and my mom select the perfect hair accessories and jewelry but that was just the beginning. She also worked magic transforming my mom’s wedding dress from 1980 into a modern, knee-length dress for my bridal shower — and incorporated pieces of both my mom and grandma’s dresses into custom keepsakes. Additionally, Earldine created a beautiful custom veil to perfectly compliment my dress, which I absolutely loved. We visited often for our fittings and always enjoyed working with these ladies and browsing their beautiful store. Highly recommend!

Post-wedding addition: I ended up having a custom tulle shrug made to wear for my Catholic ceremony, and it was nothing short of gorgeous!

I had the pleasure of working with the team at Clarissa Boutique over the last few years to help with hairpieces (for myself, bridal party and flower girl). The team helped with restoring my mom’s veil (including re-attaching the blusher), hairpieces for bridesmaids and myself; as well as a headband for the flower girl. They were so accommodating, professional and all services and products were top notch and quality. We couldn’t have imagined a more perfect day and are so grateful for your help.

My friend/bridesmaid and I had a lovely afternoon at Clarissa Boutique yesterday. What started as a veil shopping trip – ended up with purchasing coordinating accessories for all of the bridesmaids. She helped me clarify my overall vision for my and my people (especially since I’m being pretty laissez faire with it comes to dresses and shoes for them) and there was zero sales pressure. Everything naturally fell into place! If you’re looking for someone to help clarify your vision and tie it all together in a tasteful way, Clarissa Boutique is the place for you!

I had Clarissa Boutique use my moms wedding dress to make a comb, pearl hair pins, and a bouquet wrap! They came out absolutely beautiful and I can’t wait to wear them on my wedding day.

I had such a great experience here! I was helped by Penny, who was so sweet and so thorough in assisting me when searching for a headpiece and earrings for my upcoming wedding. The selection at the boutique is great and they seemed to have options for a wide variety of budgets. Penny really took her time in helping me look at my options and really considered the available choices by looking at photos of my dress and taking my hair/skin coloring into consideration as well. I could not be more pleased with what I ended up purchasing! I would happily recommend Clarissa Boutique to anyone searching for jewelry and accessories!

My mother and I went into Clarissa’s to have them redesign my grandmother’s 1940s veil. I wasn’t sure exactly what I wanted, but they were able to come up with numerous ideas and options. They ended up designing a headpiece for me while incorporating my grandmother’s veil. I received so many compliments on the end result. My new headpiece was ready within a week too. It was perfect! i highly recommend Clarissa’s!

We worked with Clarissa Boutique for my wedding day accessories and veil and they were absolutely amazing!! Everyone was so nice there and I would recommend them alone just for their excellent customer service. I found all my wedding day jewelry here (headpiece, earrings, and bracelets) and they also made me my veil! They have an endless selection of veils, headpieces, and jewelry to choose from. On my wedding day, I received so many compliments on my beautiful headpiece from here. You should 100% go to Clarissa Boutique to find any of your wedding day accessories!
