I found Mari's Alterations through Yelp because of the many positive reviews. Unfortunately, my…read moreexperience was not positive so that was when I started looking into the 1 and 2 star reviews on Yelp and Google. They're all saying the same thing about Maria being disorganized and unreliable, which was exactly my experience. And based on reading the negative feedback, I noticed this lady tends to deflect blame. Never her fault. Always something else. I brought in two pairs of jeans for hemming and a wool coat that needed a lining added. Price was affordable. She gave me a week timeline to pick up. I originally planned to pick everything up on Saturday, but I called the next day (Sunday) and asked if I could pick up a day early on Friday instead. She said yes. Thursday came and I called them just to remind them as I've had experiences elsewhere in the past where things got forgotten and I didn't want to make a 25 min drive and finding out my stuff isn't ready. Lo and behold, when I called to remind her I'll be picking up the following day, she said Saturday so I reminded her I called her last Sunday to change to friday. She said okay, she's not busy so she can work on it. I showed up Friday at around 11. My stuff wasn't done. Her employees were working on it. At first she mentioned pick up was supposed to be Saturday. I repeated I've made phone calls prior to change to Friday and she said yes. Then she said I came too early. Say what? We never confirmed on a pickup time. Then she asked me to wait additional 40 minutes. And she argued with me, giving me an attitude. I let her know she was unprofessional and disorganized and this was before I read all the negative reviews. It frustrated me because she had the whole week to work on them and she didn't. Will not be taking my business here again. I do not recommend her business.

Brought a bridesmaid dress to Rose's shop and was quickly greeted and brought in to review the…read morealterations I was looking for. Process was quick and efficient, Rose is very professional and clearly knew what she was doing (I've never done this before). She also asked if I needed this soon and seemed like she could accommodate. Thankfully this was not something I needed right away. I came back to pick up the dress today, and went to try it on, and honestly I was skeptical that alterations were made before I tried it on, the dress looked like all the stitching was original and hadn't been touched. For reference I took in the sides of the bodice and hemmed the bottom. I put on the dress and it fit like a glove and it was the correct length, perfect. I was amazed at the quality of her work and received exactly what I had in mind. Would recommend if you are looking for quality! Thanks Rose!

The after picture speaks for itself. The thobe fits perfect with all the right details I wanted Thank you as always for the excellent work!

My new dress to ring in the NY needed to be taken up a few notches…read more HK promised me the work would be complete, I arrived on 12/30/10, on my way out of town, two hours later than what was on the slip and guess what? My dress was still hanging on the wall. The lady looked at me and said, "Oh, you needed it today?" "Yes," I said tersely. SILENCE. No apology, nothing. I was so disgusted, I grabbed my dress and hopped in my car. Before I left, she had the audacity to ask me for the pickup slip. I told her to go find it yourself. I usually prepay for services, good thing I didn't this time. Always a firm believer in a silver lining: I rang in the NY with something more climate appropriate and it was tres chic.

We dropped off my pants and my partners sportscoat and returned to pick the clothes up yesterday. I opened the Suit bag and the clothes appeared OK. But when I got home and took the clothes out we discovered the tailoring was HORRIBLE. I have tailored clothes for many years and I have NEVER had such poor craftsmanship. The pants are virtually ruined and partners sportscoat is terrible. The garments weren't even pressed after alteration. Their prices are high but I don't mind paying for quality service. This was anything but.... I am terribly disappointed and now I have to run out and buy something else for the event. We will NEVER return to this place and I caution anyone else considering this place to THINK TWICE.

I can't say enough wonderful things about Louise! From the very first time I heard her voice over…read morethe phone at 6:30 in the evening, I immediately had complete confidence in her--and after meeting her, I knew my instincts were right. Louise is an amazing seamstress! Her talent and her eye for even the smallest details are incredible. She didn't just alter my dress--she paid attention to everything, right down to recommending what undergarment I should wear and helping me with the right choice of shoes. That kind of knowledge and attention to detail was absolutely priceless! I needed my dress altered on a very short timeline, and Louise had it beautifully done for me in just 6 days! She was accommodating, professional, and genuinely cared about making sure everything looked perfect. I honestly felt like I hit the lottery when I met Louise! Finding someone this talented, knowledgeable, and trustworthy is rare. I will definitely be going back to her and would recommend her without hesitation. Thank you, Louise, for making me feel so confident and beautiful in my dress!

She is a perfectionist and makes sure everything fits and is done perfectly. For my wedding dress, Louise cleaned up a lot of the fabric and hemmed it perfect to my height. As a petite girly, it didn't look like I was being swallowed by an enormous gown. She even altered my veil so it would blend seamlessly when worn together with the dress. For my second dress, it was full of feathers and the top of the dress needed to be smaller. This dress was a bit of a challenge due to all the feathers and I had come back up until the day before my wedding to make sure it fit right. Also, Louise even accommodated on short request by fixing my husband's tuxedo less than a week away from the wedding! I was truly impressed by Louise's skills that I plan on keeping her as my personal seamstress for all my clothes in general.
