Beyond Satisfied Senior Bride
Marya does beautiful work.
As a senior bride (61) my needs were different. I wanted a very basic but elegant dress with pockets (for my reading glasses and a tissue) 😊 I was not looking for a gown. I found a picture on Pinterest and showed it to Marya-she measured me, created a pattern and within weeks, I had a beautiful dress. My first meeting with Marya was in mid-May. She advised that she advised me that the timeline was shorter (my wedding was August 25th) than she normally works in but on August 8th, I picked up the most beautiful dress-I cried happy tears all the way home.
I HIGHLY reccommend -

Highly highly recommend!
I cant recommend Marya enough. She was incredibly kind, professional, clearly experienced, and very affordable (compared to prices i received at several bridal boutiques).
My dress was originally strapless with puffy detached sleeves and when I told her my vision, she turned it into a v neck with a plunge with flutter sleeves. It turned out beautifully. I cant thank her enough. -

Amazing experience!!
I absolutely loved working with Marya! She did a fantastic job altering my wedding dress. She has such a kind, motherly presence that instantly made me feel at ease throughout the entire process. She was always so accommodating and patient, and truly made the experience feel personal and stress-free. At my final fitting, she worked with my tight timeline to make a last-minute change I requested — and made it happen without hesitation. The dress turned out absolutely perfect and fit like a dream. I could not recommend her enough! -

Wedding dress alteration!
Marya was a dream to work with! I reached out to her with just over a month until my wedding day and she made it work! She was quick to schedule my initial meeting and was completely transparent about price and the work that needed to be done. I initially thought I just needed my dress hemmed, but she was knowledgeable enough to recommend taking in the waist so my strapless dress would stay up all night. I have never felt better in a dress and it is all thanks to Marya! 100% recommend her to anyone looking for wedding dress alterations. -

Life saver
My dress was nothing like what I tried in at the bridal shop. They pinned me into it and made me feel like it would be the shape I wanted. But it really was a completely different silhouette than I wanted. I cried my eyes out when I got my dress. When I tell you Marya basically took my dress and made it a custom gown, I am not exaggerating. She changed the shape of the gown to exactly what I wanted and never ever said she couldn’t do any of the alterations I asked for. HIGHLY recommend-

I cannot say enough good things about Marya!
I truly feel so lucky to have found Marya design. I bought a wedding dress, which was a simple design but had a massive train, which I didn't feel particularly comfortable wearing for my relatively casual wedding that didn't have a ceremony. When I was buying the dress, I was told that it would be impossible to remove the train while maintaining the shape of the dress, so I had resigned myself to needing to add a bustle and would just wear it bustled the whole time. When I told Marya what I hoped for, she didn't blink an eye before saying she could remove the train and keep it even all the way around. When she showed me the dress to approve at my second appointment, I was truly speechless. It looked like it was designed that way and looked even better than I could have imagined.
So already, she was a true wizard to me, but I ended up using her again to add a lining to another dress I bought for the courthouse, which I loved but had an inner bodysuit that was totally visible through the white fabric. She took out the bodysuit and added a lining so it was not only beautiful, but also way more comfortable to wear.
She is an absolute magician, so professional and so incredibly talented. And reasonably priced for the highest quality. What more could you ask for? -

Saved my wedding!
Marya helped save my wedding! I got married in June 2024 and I had to buy a brand new dress two weeks before my wedding. My original wedding dress was altered by another tailor and ruined. That’s when I reached out to Marya as I needed a new tailor for my new dress. I explained the situation and she miraculously squeezed me into her schedule. We had 3 appointments in those two weeks and throughout each, you could tell she has such amazing attention to detail and extremely good at what she does. I ended up loving my new dress better than the original one and it’s all thanks to Marya! I highly recommend her for any brides looking for alterations in the area!

Miracle worker!
Amazing!!! Marya is extremely talented and her work is flawless! With only six days until my wedding, Marya graciously made time for me and altered my dress to fit me to perfection. I cannot say enough how grateful I am to Marya! I absolutely recommend her to anyone seeking alterations! -

Marya is a godsend
I am beyond grateful for Marya, who was able to squeeze me in with little notice and provided beautiful craftsmanship. She made my wedding dress fit like a glove! I had to have several alterations due to sizing up when ordering my dress: tighter straps, taking fabric in at the waist, shortening the length (a LOT of length, I’m 5’1), closing the neckline slightly to make my dress more appropriate, and adding a bustle. I wish I would have thought to take some “before” pictures, because it truly is a night and day difference. I was feeling a little insecure before the alterations since it was not fitting anything like I had hoped, and after her alterations I felt beautiful, confident and “snatched”. Marya is also incredibly kind and radiates good energy and will make sure you leave happy. Please do yourself a favor and book your alterations with Marya Design, you will not be disappointed. -

Highly recommend!
Marya did an amazing job altering my wedding dress. She was very clear about the amount of time it would take and the cost. She even added some detachable shoulder sleeves to my dress, which was originally strapless. It really completed the look and I was so happy with how I looked on my wedding day! -

Marya is a magician!!!
I found Marya by looking on Google desperately for someone to help with a wedding dress I’d bought off the internet sight unseen. Marya’s reviews were incredible - this lady is an incredibly skilled, talented, knowledgeable professional. She knew exactly what needed to be done to my dress to first just make it fit so much better - it’s incredible what exactly the right tailoring can do for how a dress looks. Then on top of that, she was able to completely reconstruct the sleeves and neckline, turning it into essentially a different dress. I am in love with it. Her work is impeccable, she knows just by looking exactly what needs to be done even if you don’t have a clue, and produces miracles. My mom came to her for her mother of the bride dress and I’m sending 2 bridesmaids. I’ve been telling all my friends about Marya because she is such a treasure. Catch her while you still can, because this professional is a superstar and her wait list is already getting longer (as it should be)! Thank you so much Marya!!! -

Marya Design and Wedding Gown Alteration
Perfection!! ..The only word to describe Marya’s workmanship! this woman is so much more than a seamstress.. Marya knew exactly where to make very minute fitting adjustments (and there were several) …. The delicately embroidered lace work ….the chiffon bodice, and even the tiny satin waist ribbon all required subtle changes …and all were made flawlessly. Marya is an accomplished design artist as well… Using only a picture of the top of a separate gown …Marya then redesigned and meticulously cut and reworked the embroidered lace neck and sleeves on the gown in order to craft a new top having a V-neck and no sleeves The end result is an exquisite and perfectly fitted gown uniquely created for my daughter!!!
Few people possess Marya’s talent! She is truly an artistic genius!!! For complete satisfaction and for the perfect dress or gown…. go to Marya!!

My dress fit perfectly!
I chose Marya Wedding Gown Design and Alteration for my wedding dress alterations after some Google searching and reading all of her stellar reviews. Maryam is extremely professional, skilled, and efficient. I had moderately significant alterations; my dress was probably two sizes too big and had to be taken in at the waist, sides, and bust. She also hemmed the dress, added bra cups for support, shortened the straps, and added a five-point bustle. Communication was easy and I felt like I was in good hands. After my second fitting I started having anxiety over the deep plunging neckline of my dress being too boob-y for my comfort, and she squeezed me in for an extra visit so we could figure out a solution. We ended up closing the plunge and making a sweetheart neckline, which was perfect! Based on my online research (Google/Reddit, mostly), her prices seem to be in line with averages for the amount of work I had done. On my final fitting, she showed me how to do the bustle while I took a video, which was helpful in sharing with my bridesmaids. I felt gorgeous and confident on my wedding day and I can't stop looking at pictures of my dress!-
