    After, mismatched side panels - missing whole parts of design

    Stay away. She acts like she's doing you a favor by letting you into her shop. Very curt& short with people. Professionally?Incomplete bead work. Covered up missing areas of beads & dangling threads with the final "dry clean "paper and plastic wrap after pressing so we only noticed when we got home she hadn't finished 3 important areas of the dress. My husband and I both went in to question the job. We asked why she didn't finish the intricate beadwork that she had removed to do the alterations? This is what we had paid $650 to do! she told us the beads fell off, got lost & she didn't have enough finish. Patterns on the front side panels she left were random, what was left on either side panel didn't even match the other! Whole branches of beaded ivy missing. and you could tell on the silk, "worn areas that once had beads, that were now missing. After a long discussion, because she didn't offer to even fix it, but she gave 1/3 of our money back. ( at least I can pay someone else to "fix" the areas. Oh! Before we left she darted into the back and retrieved a baggie of the "missing beads " she DIDN'T have to finish the job! The dress was a $900 designer consignment find that my mother in law had fallen in love with , and she was excited to have it specially tailored to her. Maria kept saying "the dress is old". Well, it had been worn once before, but had been in mint condition before she got to it! I had been looking forward to a nice time spent with my mother in law to craft her a special dress that matched her eyes for her granddaughters wedding. Maybe had she let my 80 year old MIL use her restroom when she asked, ( " we don't have public restrooms" -not even a "sorry"!) , we may have had a bit more time to notice the shoddy work before leaving her shop, but needless to say we were in a bit of a timeline !She knew she covered up dangling threads and bare areas , on the most focal chest trim area, but pretty sure she thought we wouldn't even notice her cover up. I'm sure she thought we were just going to unwrap it at the wedding, day of. Thank G-d I checked it!! She kept saying "you come into my shop to insult me. "No, she insulted us by thinking she could do very mediocre incomplete work, while charging us premium prices to do so. We initially came into your shop believing all the rave reviews, with high hopes of leaving with a job done worthy of the cost. Don't believe the hype. I was generous and gave her a 2 because she did give us a partial refund. No apologies, of course. But, at least I have $ to have someone fix it. But now the hassle of that!!!

    The Most Unprofessional Tailoring Experience Ever I really wish I had done more research before committing to this place. I was recommended here by Anthropologie in Georgetown to get my wedding dress tailored. Saw the initial reviews and decided to go there. The first visit was alright even though the appointment went over by 30 minutes. My mom and I were told that all the 3 items would be ready to try on in a month. We said ok and requested that she not throw away the left over fabric after she did her initial tailoring. A few weeks later, my mom called to confirm the appointment for both her suits and my dress. Maria Luz responded with "Clients are not supposed to be the ones confirming, it's us." To which my mom responded, "OK, but will the suits and dress be ready that day?" Maria Luz said yes. When we get there the day of the appointment, my dress is the only one that has been tailored and she said that she needed to find my mom's suits. When we asked about the left over fabric, she said she had thrown them out. The third appointment was focused on the suits. She did a terrible job with it and when my mom pointed out that some parts of the suits were not right, she responded with "You just need to know how to dress yourself". She said she would modify what was left and iron them when we would pick it up. On the last day we went to pick up the dress and suits. She wanted to give my dress in a plastic bag instead of the one it came with the dress. She replied with "Oh ok, I'll give that back to you then". The suits were also not ironed at all. When we got home to look at the dress it was horrible. There were uncompleted seams and threads sticking out. The worst part is that she sewed a part of the dress that was supposed to be detachable when I explicitly told her that I wanted to keep the option of being able to detach them on the day of my wedding. She ruined my wedding dress. I was charged a total of 1400 for this. I recommend that you avoid this place. It is beyond unprofessional, complete scam, waste of time and money. Maria Luz was extremely rude, incompetent, and unprofessional.

    Let me just tell you about how Maria saved my wedding. This was a last minute dress I purchased because COVID happened and we moved our big celebration to 2021, but we still got married and I didn't want to wear my ball gown dress for a backyard wedding. I took my dress to a tailor as soon as I purchased it. I wanted extra material added so I didn't look naked and wanted the dress shortened. She took a WHOLE MONTH to give me the dress back and forgot to shorten it In the meantime, I managed to lose 10 lbs and when I tried the dress on 7 days before the wedding (that's when I got it back), I could put my whole fist in the chest area. I was beyond desperate. I found Maria and rushed to her atelier. In just FOUR days, she tightened the dress (mind you, it has beads), shortened it, added padding in the chest area, and steamed my dress to perfection. Guess where I am going this year to get my ball gown altered? HERE... duh. She is amazing, loves her job, and her customers. I am forever grateful!

    I found Maria and Anytime Alterations on Google. I was attending a Mardi Gras ball and needed an alteration done to my gown. I made an inquiry on the website by email and Maria quickly responded. When I first met Maria, she seemed straight forward and to the point. Someone could perceive it as being brash and unfriendly. I have to admit, I'm not used to that but it was cool. Maria's work speaks for itself. I couldn't be more proud of the alterations that were done to my gown. My gown was so big at the top that it kept falling off of my shoulders. Maria altered it so that I didn't need to wear an undergarment (i.e. bra). My dress was comfortable and it didn't fall off once during the night. I will definitely use Maria's services again.

    The purple dress is the sequin dress the was altered!

    I had a great experience at Anytime Alterations. The staff are knowledgeable, professional, and they care! I had two items altered, a sweater dress and a sequin dress for my cousin's wedding. The sequin dress was made by another tailor and I wasn't happy with the design. Anytime Alterations was able to fix the dress to look right on my body and even added pieces to add to the longevity/wearability of the dress (boning and padding). Both dresses were done within a reasonable amount of time and the prices were reasonable. I was very happy with the services provided!

    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!

    I had a wonderful experience at Anytime Alterations! I loved that every change that needed to be made was explained to me and I could see how the change was going to adjust the dress. I was able to come in a few times to try things on and she adjusted each time. She also took great pictures and showed me a video of how she fixed the dress. It blew my mind :) It's expensive but totally worth it for a fun, flexible experience that's done to perfection!
