Took a prom dress to be cleaned and altered. We were shopping around for a seamstress to fix…read morebeading on the back of a dress and add skin toned mesh material to the bust for modesty. After speaking to the seamstress and describing our desires IN DETAIL, she advised she could fix the beading. I also asked to add skin toned mesh to the bust of the dress for modesty. I specified that if it could not be done or if she could not find the material that it is fine and it could be left as is. All we needed was the beading since the dress fit perfectly and Asked to add the skin colored mesh but we thought why not hem it too since it was offered. This part was offered and not requested but I did accept. I called a 3 days after the pick up date and the dress wasn't ready so I asked when it would be and then they said a few hours. Seemed strange but we were excited. When we picked up the dress, the beading was never touched at all. The bust was patched with a square piece from the bottom of the dress. The dress still had a slight smell (prior to dropping off the smell was stronger because it was stored for years which is why it needed to be cleaned). On top of that, the dress and HAD STAINS THAT WERE NOT THERE BEFORE. My daughter was heartbroken and disappointed. The owner reduced our bill from 87 to 40 but I'm upset that I paid anything being that they ruined the dress, stained it, didn't clean it thoroughly , hemed it incorrectly, added the wrong material to the bust and didn't touch the beading which was the entire point of bring the dress in. We came out WORSE by bringing the dress in than we would have if we didn't bring it at all. I ended up LOSING AND EXTRA 100 dollars after bringing it to another dry cleaner and another seamstress. Not to mention this added weeks of trouble. Thank God I am a planner and started 6 weeks in advance of prom or we'd be out of luck. Things are too expense to pay 2 and 3x for the same service. After telling the story to a few people I realized they had the same issue with the same place. Sorry for the long post but I felt it was my duty to warn others.

When a local wedding shop insisted my daughter needed a size 2 wedding dress, when in reality she…read moreabsolutely needed a size 4, we were at a loss as to what to do. The dress zipped and that was really all that the wedding shop cared about, but my daughter couldn't breathe. Her skin was puckered in the back and breathing was laborious. The shop insisted that everything has been done to let the dress out. They said there was nothing else they could do. Her wedding was 1 week away. My other daughter recommended Maria's Alterations because Maria had done alterations on a bridesmaid dress of hers before. When my daughter and I walked in to Maria's she listened to our story and immediately looked at the dress and told us everything she could do to make the dress more comfortable. She knew our time crunch and she dropped everything to make this a priority. She was patient, sweet and incredibly fast with her work. She made my daughter's size two dress the most comfortable it can be when it should really be a size 4. She saved the day! I would recommend Maria to anybody. She is an expert at what she does and is such a kind person!!

If you want your suit in a reasonable amount of time and want it to look perfect on you; he's the man. The amount of customers he has is reflective of this fine craftsmanship. An example of this is that I recently lost a significant amount of weight (over 50 lbs) and also changed my body type (added muscle through Crossfit). My suits were a train-wreck. I brought 4 of my old, I'll-fitting suits to John. 4 weeks later, I picked them up and was AMAZED at how great they looked. I needed major work in the pants, and my coats all needed the chest area brought in; basically an athletic cut that the suits were NOT originally made with. My suits look custom-made for me.

old world tailoring in a modern age, that's for sure…read more i bought a suit online and needed pants and a jacket adjusted. prior to my visit, i knew nothing about where to go for men's tailoring. a google search provided a few names in the area, but as far as where to go from there, i was basically at a loss. (the search kind of brought me back to the early days of yelp, when you'd search for certain restaurants around syracuse and were unable find any info... about anything... things have certainly changed since 2008). anyway, i decided on john berardi. i knew very little about his shop, aside from finding a random video on youtube, so my decision was somewhat on a whim. all and all, i figured getting an italian suit looked at by an older italian man who's been in business on the city's northside for several decades was a fairly safe bet. it's a bit like stepping back in time when you enter the small shop; old sewing machines, cast-iron clothing racks, etc... so i wasn't sure what to expect at first, but john was great. super friendly, heavy italian accent and personality, and he knew what he was talking about (he recommended getting the cuffs removed on my non-pleated pants as well). i told him i needed my suit done in about 2 weeks. adjustments were done within 1 week. price was about average ($45 for jacket and pant alterations). stitching looks aok too. as the world becomes more and more introverted and we inundate ourselves with cell phones and technology, it's extremely refreshing to see a friendly, low-key, long-running, and small business that's essentially non-existant online still going strong. most of the racks lining the walls were filled with suits, and a seamstress (i'm assuming his wife) was busy stitching and sewing the whole time i was in there, so they're fairly busy; which is a good thing. these types of places (as well as italian barbers, italian bakeries, german meat markets, german breweries, etc...) were once a mainstay during the golden age of syracuse and only vanish as the years go on. enjoy them while they're still here. (not sure of their hours, so it's best to call. i think he closes around 5 or 6pm on weekdays. they lock the front door for safety during the day, so just knock if he doesn't see you. and if i recall correctly, it's cash only).
