Anytime Alterations

This review is so so late and I’m so sorry for that. Maria was a dream to work with. My mom was diagnosed with late stage cancer and we were in a rush to get married so she could be there. Maria was able to accommodate us and altered my dress beautifully. COVID delayed our wedding by a year and a half but we were able to have a simple ceremony prior to that. Thanks to Maria, my mom was able to see me my husband and I get married in the dress she helped pick out. Throughout the process, Maria was extremely compassionate.

I went to Anytime Alterations to get help with a dress that was too small and Maria gave me hope. She took a poorly designed dress and made it perfect for me. Her candor and talent will keep me coming back for years to come. I won't marry until next month but I will try to come back here and share pictures then.

Maria at Anytime Alterations was absolutely amazing. I had a dress that I liked some elements of but had major issues with other elements and she was able to turn it into my dream wedding dress. My dress was complicated with many layers of fabric, lace and beadwork but she was able to take off the long train, even the length of the dress and use the leftover material to created custom sleeves in my dream style. In our fitting sessions she worked with me to design the sleeves to my specifications and she gave suggestions and design advice that helped make my ideas even better. The final result was absolutely stunning. I got compliments all night long and people thought I was wearing a vintage dress. You would never know looking at the skirt that it had ever had a train, so seamlessly did it come together and flow as I danced. Maria is a fantastic seamstress and designer and I highly recommend her for all of your alteration needs!

Maria from Anytime Alterations was fantastic. She was easy to communicate with and it was clear she took pride in her work. Make sure to get anything to her early- she gets very busy and doing this helps to make sure your garment gets the attention it deserves. I brought my wedding dress to Maria three months before my wedding day, and she thanked me about three times for doing so! The shop was very cute, and everyone wore a mask which was great. Maria and her staff helped get me into my wedding dress and I stood in front of the mirror. Maria asked me to tell her what I wanted done, and she pinned/ made notes accordingly. Then, she asked if she could give me her suggestions. She did and they made such a significant difference- they were things I had not really thought of before. There was a small deposit required upon drop off, and what was great was that they broke down each part of the total cost- the transparency is always helpful and appreciated. She showed me the calendar and gave me a time frame in which I should come back and let me pick what worked best for me (two months from drop off, one month before wedding). At my next appointment, my dress had been transformed, and I was so happy. The only thing that wasn’t done was adding back my lace hem, because she wanted to double check that the length was going to be appropriate with my shoes. The alterations turned out beautifully and she was spot on with what she recommended. At that point, I was allowed to have another fitting if I wanted it, or I could just pick up the dress a few days before the wedding. I opted not to do another fitting but having that choice was nice. In the COVID era that we are in, I did not know if I would need a mask for my wedding, so I had asked Maria to make one for me. She said she would use scraps from my dress to make it, so that it would match. She fitted me for a mask, which I appreciated, because so many store- bought masks are ill fitting. When I picked up my dress, she had not yet finished the mask. Maria very kindly delivered it to me at my hotel, after her shop closed for the day. This kind of service and attention to detail is hard to find, and she really helped to make my wedding day special in a dress that I felt confident in that was really fitted to my body. Maria does more than just wedding gowns, there were other customers getting work done on other garments. I think that Maria also does custom jobs too, but you would have to ask her specifically. If I ever need a custom job, or other alterations done, I would go back to Maria right away and would gladly recommend her to anyone!

Maria and her team are fantastic. My mom had saved me her dress from when she got married in 1986 and it needed quite a bit of work. They were able to fully restore it and customize it for me. It was so special to be able to wear her dress on my big day. I was also lucky that they had quite a few veils and one of them matched my dress to perfection. They were very responsive as well and I had quite a few fittings to get it perfect. I felt beautiful on my big day and I know I was extremely lucky to have found them. I highly recommend them if you are getting married and need your dress tailored. They are the best!

Maria is such a wonderful tailor with so much attention to detail. She was wonderful to work with and made my dress work even after having to take it in twice because of how much time passed with pandemic date changes. Two weeks before the wedding, I decided to add an outfit change for the dance floor that needed hemming and alterations and she was able to get it all done in time to fit like a glove. Couldn't be happier with her service

Got married on August 7 and Maria Luz was excellent from start to finish. Your wedding dress will be in good hands!

Maria has transformed several bridesmaid dresses for me - she is so talented! I will be going to her exclusively for any alterations I need in the future!

Maria helped alter my wedding dress which was a little too short-waisted for me. I'm 5'11" so it needed a little more length in the bodice. From the start, she knew exactly what to do to make it fit like a dream. It looked so much better when she finished. She was friendly, the space was bright and clean, and it was finished in time. Great job.

Maria Luz did such a fantastic job with my alteration and pressing. She removed the top layer of my dress to give more color and movement, sewed on comfortable cups inside the dress, and hemmed and pressed it. I definitely felt like a princess that day! Photography credits to Kate Grace Photography.
