Maria was so flexible in making appointments with me, and kept in contact if an appointment time didn't work out for her. She provided so many options to bustle the back of my dress, which I chose a three-loop bustle since I won't be wearing the dress for the reception. She took in the bodice of the dress and added boning to help keep its shape once she added a corset back. I bought my dress brand new at a Goodwill in North Carolina after it was donated from a bridal boutique that went out of business. It had a huge butt bow that Maria used for material to make the loops, ribbon and back panel for the corset (and the bustle loops). Her price was reasonable (less than $400) and turn-around on the finished product was much faster than I thought it would be. My dress was complete and perfect in less than a month - no rush fees! I highly recommend Maria - the quality of work is great and she was a pleasure at all my meetings with her!
