They had me come back twice before I picked up my dress to make sure the length was just right and fit perfectly. The alteration itself was beautifully done, and I was very pleased with the final result. The tailor was professional, courteous, and clearly took pride in making sure everything was just right. I also felt that the pricing was fair and very reasonable for the quality of work and attention to detail. I loved how my dress turned out and was very happy with the finished result. I would highly recommend Akram's Bridal & Formal Alterations to anyone looking for quality work, reasonable pricing, and excellent attention to detail!

She is a perfectionist and did multiple fittings to make sure everything was just right. This dress had multiple layers with a ton of fabric so I'm sure it was not an easy task.

I had Marya take in my dress at the waist/hip area and add a bustle, and she did a terrible job! If…read moreit weren't for the other tailor who was able to salvage my dress at the last minute, Marya would've ruined my $3k+ dress! First, after she took in the dress at the hips, a bulge in the fabric formed at my butt. According to another tailor, the bulge formed because Marya didn't alter the dress correctly, not because the dress didn't fit me correctly. It cost me $300 to get rid of the bulge, and finding a tailor to do this last-minute work was so stressful! The hip alterations also caused the buttons to come down my back and hips at a diagonal because Marya only took in the dress at one side, causing an asymmetry. Because she could only finish the hip alterations a week before the wedding, I had to remove all 12 dress buttons to fix the asymmetry. The other tailor would've had to completely reverse her alterations to properly fix the problem, which would've taken weeks. Second, she only took in the top layer of the dress, without taking in the under layers. This caused the larger under layers to bunch up or fold underneath the tighter top layer. It looked like streaks going down the back of my dress! Third, the first time my maid of honor tried to bustle my dress, one of the bustle buttons fell off! I had to rush to sew the button back on, which was extremely stressful because I don't even know how to sew! Lastly, she damaged the beading on the neckline of my dress. Multiple beads on one side of the neckline had fallen off when I got the dress back, creating a noticeable hole. Overall, Marya's poor alterations caused me so much stress a week before my wedding. I highly recommend that anyone with an expensive dress go elsewhere, because according to the tailor who was able to salvage my dress, Marya didn't have the skill or experience to correctly alter my dress!! Edit: - My dress is second-hand, but you can see that the neckline is not damaged in the photo Marya took at my first appointment with her. - Because I did not have a final fitting, I knew there was a chance the dress would be too tight. If the dress simply didn't fit me, I would not be writing this negative review. I'm writing this review because she damaged the neckline of my dress and did not alter my dress correctly, causing issues that could not be properly fixed within a week before my wedding (this was the earliest she could return my dress to me). It seems like she took shortcuts to save time when altering my dress, such as only taking it in on one side and not taking in the under layers of the dress. The only way the dress could be fixed within a week before my wedding was by shortening the zipper, making it extremely difficult to get into the dress, and removing most of the buttons. - I have no reason to lie in this review. Marya won't even give me a partial refund for her services, and I don't have time to go to small claims court. At this point, I just want to help out future brides by writing this honest review. - Marya is trying to get my honest review taken down on other sites, so there might be other negative reviews that she has suppressed.

Date of review: 1/11/22…read more I dropped off my employer's mascot costume to have laundered back in December. For several reasons I was unable to pick up until January. The costume is fairly big so I was concerned it may have been problematic to hold it for several weeks, but the owner said that it was fine. The costume smelled fresh and the color looked much more vibrant than before. The inner lining which was separate and detachable was much whiter than when I dropped it off. When I picked up the costume, the pieces were separated by color and folded, as applicable, into two separate bags. These are all good signs that it was properly laundered with care. The price was very reasonable and came out to $60, which was much cheaper than an estimate at a prestigious dry cleaner that was going to charge over $150. I highly recommend Woodley Garden Cleaners. Tips per two signs: -Wednesday Specials (dry clean service only): For every three garments dropped off on Wednesday, 1 will be discounted. -You can now make payments online before coming in for pick up.
