    Open slit
    Sherri D.

    Mary is super professional, kind and sweet. She took care of me and made me feel very comfortable. I would recommend her to anyone. She helped me with opening a slit on a competition dress and did a great job!

    Mary is so amazing!!! Last minute day before my friends wedding I needed my dress hemmed and chest area fixed as well. Although she had other clients, she agreed to take me in and she fixed my worries. My dress is now perfect and she is my new seamstress for good! Thank you Mark!!

    Staff was pleasant and quick but in my case I needed a tulle dress hemmed for a wedding (pink dress not white as I'm not the bride) I only needed a few inches off the entire bottom so it didn't drag. I picked up dress with no time to try on as the wedding was that day. Got to wedding and put on dress and it's too long still- seems exactly the same as before. The back especially has about 4-6 inches of fabric drag. I had to have bridesmaids help me cut the dress myself. $40 wasted and now I can't resell this $200 dress. When you need "express" you get what you pay for. A fast job but a bad job.

    Mari is great! She always does exactly what I ask for and is a whiz with boy scout and girl scout patches.

    “I asked Mari to hem it and she offered to make the slit higher and taper it down so that I'll show more leg.”

    Incredibly grateful for Marine and her husband in making me feel most beautiful on one of the most…read morespecial days of my life by working on my wedding dress. For some context, my dress was bought as is from a sample sale. As someone who is is not very tall in height, the dress visibly needed hemming. The wonderful team of Luxury Alterations successfully and beautifully hemmed my dress to my liking without losing its integrity. Even with the inches taken off from the front of my dress, they were still able to allow a beautiful train in the back which looked beautiful as shown in the photos. Additionally, I also wanted to be able to move around during my wedding dance and reception. Marine suggested a 5 point bustle that allowed me to move around and dance comfortably throughout the night. And she did it beautifully without making my dress look frumpy. It was like wearing two dresses for the price of one. As a budget bride, I was worried about cost as many times the price of alterations is as much, if not more, than the price of the gown. Fortunately, I was quoted a very fair price that, to my delight, was less than the cost of my discounted dress. My wedding was 8 months ago but I still look at my dress with awe and I have Luxury Alterations to thank for it.

    I can't recommend Luxury Alterations enough! Marine and her husband made my entire wedding…read morealterations experience such a wonderful one leading up to my wedding on October 26, 2025. Lily Bridal, where I purchased my wedding gown, highly recommended them, and I'm so grateful they did. My gown was a stunning Kitty Chen designer wedding dress, and together with my cathedral veil, it was an investment many thousands of dollars. It was incredibly important to me to trust an experienced alterations expert with something so special, and from the very first fitting, I knew my dress was in the best hands. Marine and her husband were incredibly kind, patient, and welcoming throughout the entire process. They listened to every detail I wanted, treated my gown with the utmost care, and made every appointment feel stress-free and enjoyable. They met every deadline and every wish I could have asked for. My gown fit like it had been custom-made just for me, and I felt absolutely beautiful and confident on my wedding day. Their craftsmanship, attention to detail, and genuine care exceeded every expectation. Thank you, Marine and your husband, for helping make one of the most important days of my life so perfect. I will always be grateful and enthusiastically recommend Luxury Alterations to every bride looking for exceptional talent, professionalism, and kindness.
