    The final product after alterations
    Allie W.

    Mary Jill is incredibly talented and is an absolute pleasure to work with! I will be returning to her for future alterations, without question, and will definitely recommend her to my friends and family. She put so much care into taking in and shortening my dress and was very attentive to detail, particularly with the complexity that the sequins of my dress added to the alteration process. Even with the long train, she fixed the lining of the dress so that I didn't trip over it at all, even when dancing! She had my dress ready within 9 days, which was an excellent turnaround time. She very obviously wants her customers to look and feel their best, and I can say that she played a huge part in giving me the most beautiful dress that I've ever worn to date. She was kind enough to impart some tricks of the theatre costume trade and even gave me some varnish to take home to smooth out the glitter on my shoes. She went above and beyond in every way! Thank you, again, Mary Jill!!

    Needed a bridesmaid dress with different lengths at the bottom hemmed & got what I needed thanks to Mary Jill

    If you're looking for alterations or costume design or just someone who knows what they're doing when it comes to clothes and fabric, you need to see Mary Jill. Mary Jill was great - she's a master seamstress and was able to help me hem my bridesmaid dress. It was a long David's Bridal dress that was different lengths at the bottom so no other tailor I went to would do it. Full disclosure I was looking for someone who wouldn't charge me an arm and leg so price was a concern for me and I communicated that I wanted a simple less expensive fix. I reached out to Mary Jill via Facebook messenger initially and ask to arrange a time. She's in South Park and super accommodating. I tried on my dress with my heels and she gave me options. If I wanted the dress to sit a certain way she had a solution. I wanted the most affordable method to achieve my goal of shortening the length and it was nice knowing my options for future alterations etc. For pricing, she charges by time in the seat for her to make the alteration. For mine it was about 2 hours for what I needed and she mentioned that typically that'd cost $40 or so. Note that she doesn't quote you up front because it depends on how long it'll take her to work on your clothes. Overall great experience and she finished it quicker than I anticipated too. Thank you! I will be back with other clothes for future needs.

    They wedding dress Mary Jill altered

    Mary Jill is amazing and she cares so much about her clients!! She altered my wedding dress and it turned out beautiful. MJ had to take in a lot bc I bought the completely wrong dress size (even tho the dress shop measured me), and she was able to see everything back up beautifully. I had a lace dress with beading so the alterations required a lot of detail. MJ was really careful to make sure the lace didn't overlap and kept the same design on the front of the dress. The alterations took longer and cost more (due to the lace/beading) but she threw in a pair of pants alterations for free! Highly recommend going to her for any alterations or if you want any clothes made. She can do it all!

    Mary Jill is an amazing artist and master seamstress. She created a custom work of art for me for our daughter's wedding. I've never received so many compliments as I did in the gorgeous all silk custom dress she beautifully designed. Fully lined in silk as well, not an easy fabric to work with! She also made sure both our daughters looked stunning for the day. Our beautiful Bride traveled home to San Diego from Texas. Mary Jill made sure every wrinkle was steamed out and the dress and veil were perfect for her special day. She also made sure our other daughter's dress was perfectly fitted and Maid of Honor worthy! Her eye for detail and meticulous tailoring are nothing short of amazing. She's wonderful for a tuck here and there or a hem but, her true ability to create beautiful garments of any kind is second to none! Thank you Mary Jill for being the loving, caring person you are and, making our family's special day even more beautiful! So very lucky to have stumbled upon you on Yelp.

    I am SO excited to work with Mary at Easy Does It Studio! She will be working on my wedding dress - to make the dress fit me! Which is not the experience that you get from other places. She made a great first impression by telling me her experience and the history of her craft! She has years of experience and is open to new creative ideas. I am thrilled to be working with her and would recommend her to any bride-to-be, theater performer or to anyone who requires a custom look!

    Great hem and flow!

    A Perfect Tux for a Perfect Night! Truly Exceptional Service!…read more I cannot say enough wonderful things about Vanessa and The Gentleman's Tux Club in Downtown San Diego. My son recently had the honor and privilege of escorting his girlfriend to the Jr. Marine Corps Ball, and as this was his first formal event, I wanted him to look his very best. After a last-minute decision to go with a tuxedo instead of a suit, I began calling some of the more "mainstream" men's stores. I quickly started to feel stressed, worrying that we wouldn't find a tux he genuinely liked on such short notice. Then, we found Tux Club online. From the first phone call, I knew we were in the right hands. Vanessa was incredibly kind and assured me that she had all sizes available and could definitely help us. When we arrived, we were both so pleasantly surprised by how lovely and inviting the shop was. From the moment we stepped through the door, Vanessa made us feel welcome and, most importantly, she made my son feel special. She took her time with him, patiently listening to his likes and making him feel confident in his choices. The moment he stepped out of the dressing room, I was completely overcome with emotion. He looked so grown up and incredibly sharp! Vanessa had fitted him perfectly in a tux that was absolutely ideal for him, and you could just see that he felt like a million bucks. The pricing was very reasonable and worth every single penny, as it included the entire ensemble--all the way down to the shoes! My son had an amazing and memorable night at the Ball, and I know a huge part of that was because of how confident and proud he felt in that tuxedo. I happily told Vanessa we would be back for prom season and that I would be referring everyone I know to Tux Club. Seriously, go there! You won't regret it! Thank you, Vanessa and Gentleman's Tux Club, for your phenomenal service and for making my son's first formal event even more memorable.

Vanessa was…read moreextremely sweet, patient, and helpful throughout the process, and I truly appreciated her kindness and professionalism. Unfortunately, my experience with the owner, I believe his name was John, completely changed the atmosphere. The first pair of pants my son tried on was too short, so we simply asked to try another size with a little more length. We were only there for a short time trying to decide what fit best because, as any parent knows, prom is a big deal and I wanted my son to feel comfortable and confident. Not even 10 minutes into trying on the options, John came out and said, "Hey, hey, it's time to wrap it up." I found that extremely rude and unprofessional, especially considering I was paying over $200 to rent a tuxedo from this business. Customers should never be made to feel rushed while spending their hard-earned money and trying to make sure their child looks and feels his best for an important milestone. At that moment, I held my tongue and chose not to respond because I did not want anything to ruin or negatively affect my son's prom experience. My focus was on making sure he had a beautiful and memorable night. However, the way we were treated has stayed with me, and honestly, it left me wondering whether John would have spoken that way to someone who looked like him. That thought alone is deeply upsetting and disappointing to me. This was actually my second time renting a tux from this location, but sadly it will be my last. If it were not for Vanessa and how kind she was, I would have given an even lower rating. Respect, patience, and professionalism should be given to every customer equally.

The follow through was the disappointment. Although everyone was measured a lot of the sizes were wrong when it came to trying on the suits. The shoes were the wrong color and had to be changed. A couple people asked for "skinny" pants because the casual fit is way too baggy which they said they would do but on the day of pick we were told they didnt have any available. The father of the quincenera who arranged this whole event asked for skinny pants from the very first day that we chose outfits which was well in advance and he still didnt get what he requested and ended up canceling his rental. I couldnt get skinny pants either but wasnt told until day of pick (as were others including my son). Somehow my white button up that i tried on didnt make its way into the garment bag and i ended up having to buy one from Old Navy. You would think they would have seen it hanging there and would have called me back. To top it off they ended up giving me size 13 shoes instead of 12! I went to the party in clown shoes. I think they just didnt have my size available and didnt say anything and just chose the next size up. Overall bad experience when it came down to actually getting out rentals. They over promise and you dont get what you hoped or asked for. Oh...and not only were the vests a different color than what was picked out for the "uncles" matching suits but they got ties instead of bow ties. And all I got from having to wear clown shoes and buy a button up was a simple sorry. Sorry doesnt cut it when trying to look your best and paying $200 for a suit rental. I should have pieced together a discount suit for the price that would fit better. Only reason I didnt was because the plan was to have everyone match.

Unfortunately, the service experience has been the complete opposite. I've now had TWO appointments there, both scheduled in advance, and both times I arrived on time only to wait well over 30 minutes before even being acknowledged properly. In both cases, I eventually received a text saying they were "ready" for me long after my appointment time had already passed. On my most recent visit, I checked in for a 6 PM appointment, was told it would be "about five minutes," then sat waiting while the store was relatively quiet. Once I was finally brought back, I was told the sales associate I had been booked with was unavailable and someone else would step in while she finished another fitting. Then I sat in the fitting room alone for another several minutes with nobody assisting me. The first experience was somehow worse. I checked in, waited, then eventually decided to reschedule because it was obvious the store was overwhelmed. During that process, the employee helping me repeatedly forgot my name despite already checking me in multiple times. Earlier during that same visit, another associate had forgotten the suit sizes, colors, and event deadlines I had already explained. What's frustrating is that this isn't a budget suit shop trying to survive high volume traffic. SuitSupply presents itself as a premium experience, and at these price points, basic organization, punctuality, and attentiveness should be expected. I genuinely like the suits, which makes this even more disappointing. But after multiple appointments with the same issues, the service feels disorganized, inattentive, and far below the standard the brand projects.
