    Maryann is amazing. I am going to be lost when she retires this summer. She has worked on a wedding dress to my bathing suits.

    Maryann is by far the best tailor I have ever been to. She does whatever you want but will suggest alternatives if you're unsure.

    If only there were negative stars. Sigh. Our daughter had…read moresuch a great idea to take the bodice from my wedding dress and make a cocktail dress for the rehearsal dinner. So sweet! She found Donna's Bridal online and since it was close she went with it. On our first visit she said she could do it and gave us an estimate of $600. I thought that was insane, but since I work I don't have time to sew, and being it was an important project I said ok. She recommended the fabric. We wanted a float skirt to replace the 1989 large rule skirt. From the beginning I suspected we had made the wrong choice, but she reassured us that she was able to do the project. The first warning was that my daughter suggested changing the back of the dress to make it a low cut back. I am not a professional Seamstress, but I pointed out to her that the material was too thick and that it would not sit right on the back when it was done. She said no, no honey, don't worry, it will be fine because I will put a strap here strap there, blah blah blah. I insisted that the material was too thick, but she said that when she cut it, it would lay flat. It did not lay flat, even with straps, see the picture included. But that's not even the worst part. Look at the pictures, look at that skirts. This is after she fixed it because it was even worse than it looks here. At one point, I said thank you very much Donna you've done about $300 worth of work but I think I'm gonna take the dress home and finish it. That was the same night that her estimate one from $600-$1250, which is now freaking insane . I told her that that was unacceptable that I was not happy with the work that she had done, and that I wanted to take the dress home. She basically threw a fit, became pretty aggressive, and she wouldn't let us leave the shop with the dress because she said she had to make her Customer happy. It was so far gone already that I figured I would let her finish the last details and then take it home and fix it. Our daughter never got to wear the dress because nobody could wear that dress. It looks like something from a discount rack at Walmart. Frankly, the skirt is horrible, it senses in all the wrong places, and he is uneven. A totally amateur result. In fairness, I saw some of the dresses in the place that she claims that she made, and they were really beautiful. Why she was not able to do what was really a simple project of replacing a skirt I have no idea. She claims it was a lot of work to take off all the layers of tool, I don't disagree with that, but what about the end result and how horrible the ski skirt came out? I hope that this review will help other people. #1. get a estimate in writing because Donna loves to do magic math that is always to her benefit. #2. If you cannot bring a picture of exactly what you want, I suggest you don't do the work in this establishment. I don't know how much clearer we could've been about a floaty skirt with slight cleats at the waist, but she in the end after it came out completely wrong she claims that Because of all the layers of tool (that have been removed) it wasn't impossible to do. Like I said, I'm not a seamstress, but I do know how to sew and I think she just totally blew the entire project. Anyone with pride would've offered to fix it, get a different fabric, do something to "make the customer happy "as she insisted she wanted to do and didn't let us take the dress with us. #3. Add to the price quote, make sure that you get it in writing and that it's a solid quote. As I said before, she kept changing the numbers which I refused and refused to pay, and in the end she charged me $750 for a dress that I can do absolutely nothing with. The back is ruined, so there was no point in me trying to fix the dress because there's nothing that I could do to that back to make it look pretty. In the end, my daughter bought a cute white dress from Amazon and wore that to the rehearsal dinner. The wedding was in July. We had an amazing time, but to be honest, for both myself, and my daughter this experience was literally just a disgusting waste of time. When we began to have problems with her the night, where I wanted to take the dress with me, we left Donna's and looked at the reviews carefully. Donna had claimed that in her all of her years doing business she had never had a customer complaint, and I said I found that hard to believe. Well, that's not true. There are actually reviews that are similar to our experience and I really wish that I would've taken the time to read the reviews so that we could've at least looked at other options instead of settling for the first option that my daughter picked, but that's all water under the bridge. Read the 1 ans 2 star reviews. Many of the better ones sound like friends. They only have 1-2 reviews and that should have been a dead giveaway. I absolutely do not recommend this service, but if you use it, good luck. PS: she will reap

    I got a dress for my Saturday wedding on a Monday and it had a huge bulge in the back zipper. She…read morefit me in to get it checked on Tuesday and we realized my schedule wouldn't allow me to pick up and try on before leaving for the city on Friday so although we certainly paid for it she did a rush job and got it done in 24 hours!!! I was so appreciative that she could get it done in such a short time frame and the dress looked amazing. Thank you!
