The Best in Handcrafted, Custom-Designed Gowns
and Dresses for any Occasion

Westmoreland County has a wealth of shops and services that go beyond the ordinary, and one of these is Alterations-Fashions & Dressmaking by Ria, located on Route 30 East in Greensburg, near Westmoreland Mall. Ria’s is no mass-market dress or bridal shop, crowded with racks of dresses. Upon entering Ria’s, your first impression is of a welcoming, cozy shop. There are dresses in production and accessories on display. Coffee and candy await the welcome visitor, and Ria herself embodies such friendly assurance and confidence that you are certain your experience will be a good one.

This is the place to come for professional alterations for the entire family, but most especially for wedding apparel or gowns for special events, such proms. Ria can alter any gown to provide a perfect fir, or handcraft custom creations to meet your speciual needs. After many years experience working in bridal shops, Ria has both the background and skill to produce your wedding gown, special alterations, or individual designs.

“I love working with people, to make their wedding day as special as it can be,” said Ria. “One of our customers came in with a picture of an attractive, spaghetti-strap gown. It had a lacy, long-sleeved covering and an open back. Working from this picture, I found three elegant patterns and worked to create a beautiful dress that matched the Bride’s dreams for her wedding day.”

Ria is budget conscious, and works with each customer to select materials and designs well within the reach of the average budget. She can not only provide professional alterations, often at significantly less than bridal shop prices, but brings the dream of custom designs within the reach of many who would never have considered it otherwise. The bride who dreams of marrying in her mother's or grandmother's gown needs Ria's touch. Ria can alter and rework any gown to update it and make it special. In recent years, this nostalgic trend has been growing in popularity and Ria performs these alterations frequently.

Mothers of the bride and groom can also have their gowns altered, or commission a beautiful custom work to be created.

Ria's shop offers much more for your wedding day, including a variety of brand name and custom made headpieces and veils. While there is a wonderful selection in stock, Ria can also order from well-known suppliers. Ria stocks other accessories as well, including long line strapless bras, cups, gloves, and moneybags.
