Monica
Monica Narvaez, founder and owner of Luxury Tailors, brings over two decades of bridal tailoring experience to every gown.
Originally from Colombia, Monica graduated with a degree in Fashion Design from Arturo Tejada Cano University in Bogotá. After relocating to Houston 23 years ago, she immersed herself into the world bridal and formalwear alterations.

Above and Beyond the Dress
Our atelier is committed to supporting brides throughout every bump in the road.
In 2017, the sudden closure of Alfred Angelo bridal stores left thousands of brides across the country without their dresses, just weeks or even days before their weddings. As panic swept, Monica and Luxury Tailors stepped up. As the alterations partner for all five Houston locations of Alfred Angelo, Monica saved as many gowns as she could.
But her care didn't stop there. Monica opened her atelier to any bride affected by the closure, offering discounted services, emotional support, and a place where their dress dreams could still come true. The leadership and support of Luxury Tailors earned the lasting gratitude of countless brides and solidified her reputation as a skilled tailor truly devoted to the women she serves.
