L’Mode Bridal was founded by Dorie Kong shortly after her move from Malaysia to California, bringing with her a rich legacy in the world of dressmaking and design. Prior to establishing L’Mode Bridal, Dorie operated her own esteemed dress-making institute in Malaysia, where she passionately taught students the intricate art and science of garment creation.
Dorie’s remarkable talent extended beyond bridal wear; she was a celebrated designer of pageant gowns, consistently boosting her clients’ scores to achieve top-five placements and numerous state and national queen titles. This deep, hands-on experience in designing and customizing dresses from scratch, spanning over three decades, now forms the bedrock of L’Mode Bridal’s specialized services.
Today, Dorie Kong focuses her unparalleled expertise on couture bridal alterations, ensuring every bride looks exclusive and feels confident and beautiful on her special day.
At L’Mode Bridal, we don’t just alter gowns; we elevate them. Our specialized services are designed to achieve elegant, slimming, slenderizing, sex-appealing, comfy, perky, and flattering results. Our expertise includes:
Choosing someone to handle your wedding dress is a big deal. It’s like trusting a stranger with your diary, but more sparkly. Here’s why L’Mode should be your trusted confidante:
We’re not just seamstresses; we’re artisans with decades of experience, particularly with the intricate nuances of bridal gowns. We’ve tamed taffeta, conquered crinoline, and even reasoned with rogue lace. We boast a team of professional Bridal Fitters with multiple accolades, ensuring your gown is in the most capable hands. Seriously, our empathy levels are almost as high as our stitch count.
We understand that your wedding dress is more than just fabric; it’s a symbol of a monumental moment. We treat every gown with the care and respect it deserves, working tirelessly to ensure it’s absolutely perfect for your walk down the aisle. It’s personal for us, too.
No hidden fees, no last-minute surprises (unless it’s a surprise compliment on your posture). We believe in clear communication and upfront pricing so you know exactly what to expect from day one.
We work with your timeline to ensure your dress is ready when you need it. We know life gets crazy, so we offer flexible appointment options to fit into your busy wedding planning schedule.
Behind every perfectly tailored gown at L’Mode Bridal is Dorie Kong. If dresses could talk, they’d probably confess their deepest fears to her. Dorie isn’t just our founder and head seamstress; she’s the heart, soul, and slightly sarcastic wit behind everything we do here.
With more years of experience than she cares to admit (let’s just say she started with corsets that required fainting couches), Dorie is a true master of her craft. She’s got an uncanny knack for seeing the potential in every stitch, for taming the most unruly fabrics, and for making even the most stressed-out bride crack a smile. Her hands have sculpted, reconstructed, and refashioned countless gowns, turning “almost” into “absolutely breathtaking.”
