Mary is the best!

Mary altered my daughter's wedding dress AND my MOB dress. She did an excellent job and I would highly recommend her services. She is a professional and excellent seamstress. My daughter wore low-heeled sparkly pumps and then changed into decorated tennis shoes for the reception. The dress length needed to work for both shoes (with differing heel heights) and Mary handled it expertly.

Absolutely Perfect!

My dress was a challenge as it was several sizes too big and an asymmetrical style. Mary hit it out of the park! It was perfect by the end.

Her suggestions and ideas helped me not only looked great, but was comfortable wearing the dress, and I felt completely comfortable during the fitting process, which I was not expecting as I tend to be self-conscious.

Incredible service with incredible warmth

Mary was so welcoming, and so casual - in the best way! It felt like visiting a family friend. She was attentive, sooooo knowledgeable, and very calm and comforting about everything related to altering my dress! I was referred to her by word of mouth and I hope to keep passing that word of mouth on!

Amazing work!!!

How can I thank Mary enough for altering my gorgeous wedding dress? She worked tirelessly to make sure it fit perfectly, and went above and beyond in service—even in arriving as I got ready for my wedding to zip me into the dress! She is warm, friendly, responsive, and feels like family. Not to mention, her work is stunning and an incredible value! Thank you, Mary!!!

More than excellent

Wow! Mary is absolutely amazing! Not only is she the nicest but she is the best in what she does! Mary did a beautiful job on my wedding dress and was able to add and move things around as I wanted. She tailored the dress to fit me perfectly and I felt like a princess on my special day! I highly recommend Mary! You definitely won’t be disappointed!

Beautiful job with my dress

Mary has a true wedding workshop in her home and does a wonderful job with alteration. She was incredibly knowledgeable and timely. She was organized and stuck with the timeline and dates we set. She even put hidden straps into my dress that I pulled out after my first dance but you could not see them at all before that! She designed a beautiful bustle for me also. I would highly recommend.

My dress was perfect!

My dress fit perfect! It had very delicate sleeves that were covered in beading. I was scared I would have to lose a lot of the beads because the sleeves were very long on me. Mary was amazing and had great solutions to altering my dress without having to lose all my favorite details of it.
I’m sure this was not an easy dress to alter with the amount of beading and super delicate fabrics it had but she altered it so well that you would have no idea!
Mary was really fun during our appts to talk with and her pricing is very affordable compared to the bridal shop I was originally going to have it done at.
Hire her!

Mary, you are AWESOME!

Mary is seriously sooo TALENTED! Originally, I brought my sample dress (which was beautiful but three sizes too big and also damaged in a few areas) to a shop called Hannah's tailoring and the seamstress told me that she didn't have time for my dress and that it be very difficult to fix. She also scolded me for buying a big dress in the first place. A co-worker recommended Mary and I'm so grateful she did! She is by far my favorite vendor I'm worked with throughout my wedding process. She redesigned the back of my dress, fixed the damage, and added an awesome and easy to use color coded bustle. It turned out beautiful. She's a tailoring magician and just a really nice human being. She was also way more affordable than what the first seamstress quoted me. Thank you so much Mary for helping me feel beautiful on my wedding day!

Unreal...in a good way

I had the best experience with Mary. She really knows what she is doing, and she is efficient and kind. Mary added a bustle to my dress that was unlike anything I had ever seen (13 ties!), and it was all color coded/easy to figure out! Highly recommend. She also rents out vintage furs! We didn't end up going the fur route, but they were stunning! A good option for any local bride.
