Everything from her opinion to her suggestions to her artistic work... Definitely number one in my book and I've been into several

She slapped my hand hard when she didn't like the state of my daughters pants. I tried my best to clean the dirt but it didn't come out and I brought them to her to have that part cut off and then sewn so it wouldn't fray and fall apart. Shame on you for putting your hands in a customer! read more

Fidencia Dressmaking - Prom dress - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Midland Park, New Jersey

Amazing work great quality. Have never been disappointed! Have suggested to others to go here

Fidencia always does a beautiful job for me and all my extended family in the area-- we all rely on her and we would recommend her always!

I've heard good reviews so I decided to go to her for a consultation on some dresses I thought she could alter. She's a dressmaker so I assumed she may have some ideas. I had gained some weight and I was hoping there was a way to let out a few dresses that I loved. She looked over my dresses and then looked at me. She said couldn't do anything with them and told me the best thing I could do is to just lose the weight. I was taken back by her remark and she made me feel embarrassed. I felt that she was very rude. Such poor customer service. read more

We brought my daughter's bridal gown to Fidencia after a terrible experience with another seamstress. The gown was halfway into being altered when we brought it to her with only one month before the wedding. We were nervous and didn't know if she would be able to fix what was done and have it ready by the wedding. Not only did she have it ready in time, but she did an amazing job! She was also such a pleasure to work with....accommodating, always positive, and reassuring. We were so happy with her that I even brought her my mother of the bride dress to be altered. I plan on using Fidencia for future alterations and highly recommend her! read more

If you care about the project you need done, I do not recommend this business. I called in July to ask about having a custom baptism gown made for my daughter from my late mom's wedding dress for her baptism on 10/8. Plenty of time to get a baby's gown done, right? Fidencia assured me she loved these kinds of projects and, even though she's very busy, she could get it down for October. I bring my mom's dress on July 18th, discuss the project with Fidencia, and get a ticket that she wrote 9/15 as the date for completion/pick up. Perfect! I called around 9/22 and Fidencia LAUGHED and said she had not started it yet. I reminded her that the baptism was 10/8 and she assured me that she would do it that week and call me when it was done. I have my doubts but have hope due to positive reviews on here. Well, I called today to see if the dress is ready for pick up and again she LAUGHS about how she still hasn't done it. 4 days before the baptism.. and she's the only one laughing about this. She assures me that she could do the dress today or tomorrow but how can I trust that? At a normal PROFESSIONAL business, it would have been done by the date on the ticket. It wasn't - okay I give her an extra few weeks and she promises to get it done - still hasn't! What sane person would trust her at this point? My mom's dress is sentimental to me & now I have to scramble to find an alternative dress for my daughter to wear on Sunday!! I went to pick up the wedding dress and she was apologetic but also still taking this all very lightly! I have dealt with tailors and dressmakers a lot in my life as a petite woman and NEVER have I experienced this level of unprofessionalism. I would steer clear of this business if you care about your project actually being done on time or done at all! I'm just trying to save someone else the aggravation of dealing with this woman. read more

Fidencia ruined my daughter's satin prom dress. A simple alteration of the hemline and split in the front resulted in oil stains all over it and a real hack job on the split. She tried to tell me that the stains "appeared" when the dress was being ironed, but that is utter nonsense. Either the person making the alteration worked with unclean hands, or sewing machine oil came in contact with it. While I was standing there pointing out the stains she tried to take some out with baby powder only to leave a white powdery patch. During this process the dress was draped over her ironing board and she stepped on it with her dirty shoe. I can not believe this place came highly recommended. I've now had to take it to a specialty cleaner to try and remove the stains and re-do the split because it looks so ugly. The stains are literally all over it as you can see from the pics. Stay away. read more

Fidencia is great! She did my wedding dress and it came out perfectly. I've gone to her several times and she'll be my go-to person from now on. read more

Fidencia is the best! Perfect alterations to a dress I thought just didn't fit. She was absolutely terrific! I highly recommend her!

I had to go to Fidencia only becasue Nazli's in Ridgewood was on vacation for a dress I just bought for a wedding. Fidencia is arogant and would not listen to what I excatly wanted. She just kept repeating that she has been doing this for years and knows what to do. When I went to pick up the dress, she even argued with me that she texted me that it was ready and challenged me that I was wrong when I told her she did not. After showing her my phone, only then she realized she was at fault. As far as her work, the dress was not the length I wanted and it was uneven. I will plan on wearing again for an event in a few weeks and brough it to Nazli's in Ridgewood. She explained how difficult it would be to rectify how Fidencia botched my dress but she will try her best. Thanks to Nazli's, she did with what Fidencia did not have a talent to do. read more

A good Seamstress is hard to find, so when a friend highly recommended Fidencia, I listened. I had an evening gown that needed hemming and a few little fixes. She did it all, dress was ready in a week & perfectly done.A little pricey, but she is friendly and really did a fantastic job!! read more

I purchased a sequin dress to wear for my upcoming birthday. When it arrived, like most other clothing I purchase, it did not quite fit as it should. Being petite, I'm used to this and typically just take my clothes to the tailor at the cleaners. In this case, I was nervous because I know sequins can be a pain to work with. After searching high and low, I decided to visit Fidencia's Dressmaking based on her reviews -- and I'm so glad I did. She was super personable and pleasant to deal with, her work is well done, and I found her prices to be very reasonable. In fact, I was prepared to pay more than I did. I had my dress back in a little over a week, and she even went out of her way to do a little extra work on it. I will definitely come back in the future! read more

Fidencia Dressmaking - Thank you Fidencia for making me look my best! - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Midland Park, New Jersey

Fidencia is fabulous ! She's an incredibly talented seamstress and does wonders with making things fit perfectly. She has really helped me, especially with some vintage pieces with delicate fabric and old-fashioned sizing. Plus, she's such a friendly, hard-working, honest woman -- the best ! read more

She is the most amazing woman ever! Words can't express enough how good she is! My first time going to her was two years ago to fix my prom dress, it was a really difficult cloth to work on because of the material and the modification we had to do were a lot, she did an espectacular job with it! It fit me perfect and during the whole night I had no complains with my dress. So the second time I went was last year for my boyfriend's prom and this time wasn't as difficult but her job was well done as the first time. And now as my third time going to her, she accepted my dress last minute to pick up same day and I'm just so thankful, she told not to ever do it again tho haha but she is awesome! A super strong, self confidence and hard worker woman, I give me word she'll do a good job with your clothes. read more

Fidi is fun, quick, reliable and on time. She forgot to call me when she was ready with my dress but no big deal! Not overpriced but she does get super busy! She tells you how it is and doesn't do more than she has to, also accepts Venmo which was helpful! read more

What a true professional!! She is not only a gifted and talented seamstress, but she understood exactly how I wanted my dress tailored even better than I did. I literally gave her no time to do all that I asked and honestly I couldn't be more grateful to her. Furthermore, she was so kind to me and to my children and was even kind enough to hem my son's suit pants within two hours of me giving them to her! I cant say enough aside from...give her your business because she has perfected her craft with love. read more

My daughter has a beautiful gown she chose for her school dance. It was strapless, and the bodice was beads and appliqués. She was uncomfortable with the way it would become open at the top, so we visited Fidencia. When she showed me how she was going to alter it I was nervous because the appliqué work was so beautiful. When I picked it up I was amazed and couldn't even tell where she had made the alteration...and the fit was PERFECT! My daughter looked beautiful and was very comfortable thanks to Fidencia's talent. read more

I will never go back . The seamstress was rude, she unprofessionally was extremely rough reaching into my dress to adjust , and she charged $65.00 to hem and put two stitches in the straps of dress. Have had same done elsewhere for $40.00 on other dresses. Don't be fooled by the 201 rating as the best! read more

Very personable and amazing service. She was able to perform a dress repair while I waited and return the dress to me immediately! I would highly recommend her! read more

Fide is terrific. Her work is impeccable and she was extremely accommodating to my needs and schedule. She is as good as it gets! read more

If I could give no stars I could, this place is an absolute nightmare!!! This shop in at a convienent location in Midland Park, the parking situation could be a lot better. Inside the shop looks like a disaster, there's a strange smell and there is junk all over the place. The woman, Fidencia, barely achknowledges you when you walk in if there are other customers there, a "I'll be right with you" would have been nice. I brought my wedding dress there for the first time on May 27th 2011. I had some reservations about leaving my dress with her due to the fact that she did not seem farmiliar with the corset back and kept telling me I didn't want it altered the way I wanted it altered because it was too hard to do. All I asked was that the dress be shortened and the bust line be tightened so that I would not fall out of my dress on my wedding day. I went for my first fitting on August 13--almost 3 months later--and the dress was an absolute disaster. She was annoyed that my mother and bridesmaid wanted to learn how to do the corset. I noticed that the dress was not even at the bottom, you could see me left foot and the dress was dragging on the floor in front of my right foot. I asked Fidencia to fix it and she said it was fine and it was supposed to be like that. Also, the top was not tight enough where I had asked her to take it in, she said it was too difficult to take out the seam because of the beading. Once the dress was finally all laced up, I asked her again to fix the length, a ballgown should be the same length, especially in the front and she turned around and SREAMED in my face (seriously, no exaggeration, she screamed in my face) that this dress is too difficult to alter and it would be fine the way it is, and proceeded to called me stupid. I also noticed there were several pulls in the satin which she said was fine. Lady, this is not fine!!!! So here I am, 35 days away from my wedding with a trashed $3,000 wedding dress and a $500 bill from Fidencia Castrillo. In the nicest way I could possibly put it, this lady is untalented and unprofessional. DO NOT TRUST THIS WOMAN!!! read more

Fidencia is special. She is a skillful seamstress and dressmaker and a wonderful person. Her warmth and accommodating personality makes her so easy to work with. Don't let the surface fool you, while her shop may not be fancy she is a hidden jewel in the world of alterations. From simple hems to redesigning old duds she has a gift and an eye for elegant looks and creative solutions. My son took an oversized purple suit from good will and with Fidencia's handwork and his vision turned it into a whimsical costume for a masquerade party. We were delighted and he was the hit of the party. read more
