    I am extremely disappointed with my experience and honestly wish I had never trusted this…read moreseamstress with my wedding dress. I was referred to her by Altar Bridal, where I purchased my wedding dress, so I felt confident that I was being referred to someone experienced and trustworthy with bridal gowns. Unfortunately, that confidence was completely misplaced. My dress originally fit almost perfectly. It was maybe a half size too big and only needed minor alteration. It is a satin dress, so I was especially careful about who I trusted to work on it. After the alterations, my dress is now visibly damaged. There are sewing marks all over the satin where stitching was done and then removed, leaving obvious needle and thread marks throughout the fabric. The dress is now crooked, and the rouching has been completely distorted and does not lay correctly anymore. These are not small imperfections that can be overlooked on my wedding day. The dress looks cheap and destroyed not delicate and elegant like when I got it. My wedding is only a month away. I brought her a dress that already fit almost perfectly, and I am now left with a damaged wedding dress and no idea how I am going to get it repaired in time for my wedding. I understand that alterations can be complicated and that mistakes can happen. However, when someone is trusted with a wedding dress, especially a delicate satin gown, I expect a much higher level of care and expertise. I also trusted this recommendation because it came directly from the bridal shop where I purchased my dress. I gave her multiple opportunities to fix the dress, but at what should have been my last appointment I didn't trust her to touch my dress anymore. If you are considering using this seamstress for your wedding dress, I strongly recommend doing your research and considering other options. I would never want another bride to be in the position I am in now. My wedding is 32 days away and I absolutely hate my dress now.

They tailored my dress perfectly and it fit like it was custom made for me. They were very communicative and had everything done correctly and on time. I would highly recommend them to anyone and give them 5 stars all around!

I brought TIW my approximately $4,000 wedding gown and paid them nearly $800 for alterations. They destroyed my dress. They knew my wedding date and when I was leaving Colorado. After six appointments, Tailored in White ruined my dress. The hem was shorter than approved and uneven, the bodice and structure were ruined, and the gown was covered in stains. I asked Tailored in White to replace the dress and have it express-shipped directly to their shop and gave them another opportunity to complete the work correctly. Their response was that their legal team needed 5-7 business days to review, even though they knew I was leaving for my wedding in just a few days. I even reached out directly to the owner thinking she might want to know what was going on and make it right but she never responded. That's when I knew something was really wrong. I ultimately bought a replacement dress myself for another nearly $4000 and had it shipped directly to my wedding location. I was not able to have it altered but the dress out of the box was 1000 times better than what Tailored in White did to it. I initially shared my experience on Instagram via stories and instead of taking meaningful responsibility, Tailored in White sent me a cease-and-desist letter that was filled with lies. Saying I appeared at TIW, threatened an employee, and photographed employees' vehicles and license plates. None of this happened. I only arrived during scheduled appointments that I have confirmations for. And in fact I was incredibly nice to the employees. Telling them I understand mistakes happen, and TIW has an opportunity to make it right by replacing the dress. Instead TIW threatened to sue me unless I stopped making all public and private statements about TIW within one business day. I recently shared more about my experience on Instagram and I've had numerous brides reach out to me that had similar experiences at Tailored in White. In my experience, they do not have professional bridal seamstresses and they do not have adequate staff to complete the amount of work they take on. They tried to use legal threats to silence me from sharing my experience. Their contract included a non-disparagement clause that directly conflicts with the Colorado Consumer Protection act. The owner has a history of ruining dresses and closed her previous business - SewCora leaving many brides with dresses in shambles while having took their payments up front! But somehow opened Tailored in White 4 months later. I learned so much about this business, it's owner, history, and how they operate that I filed a complaint with the attorney general of Colorado and reported their attorney to the Arizona bar. I also filed lawsuit against them to recover the damages from my dress and experience. A wedding cannot be recreated. A bride should not have to spend the final days before her wedding scrambling to replace a gown because the seamstress destroyed her dress--and she should not be intimidated or threatened for honestly documenting what happened afterward. My experience with Tailored in White caused significant financial loss, stress and heartbreak during what should have been one of the happiest times of my life. And sadly I'm not the only one. Protect your dress, your money and your peace. Go somewhere else!!

    Terrible communicator. Initially wanted some work done on some clothes- buttons on jeans and work…read moreon a jean jacket, but also inquired about sewing lessons. Totally ignored my request for work on clothes, but responded to my inquiry for classes. Whatever, thought that'd be good. Made an appointment, over agonizingly slow email responses, a month out for in person instructions, and was totally looking forward to it- she gave me a laundry list of things to buy for the session, went to Recreative and bought them- then she cancelled 40 minutes before the appointment due to "a family emergency". Wrote her 8 days later, offering sympathy and asking to reschedule, and still haven't heard back from her. It's been over a month. She seems flakey. She probably shouldn't have a professional profile on Google and just do her thing when available, on Craigslist. Look for classes elsewhere.

After she had my pants for a full month (for simple alterations) she texted me 17 hours before I was supposed to pick them up to tell me they were not done and that she needed two more weeks. I expressed my disappointment and she responded defensively then "politely declined" my "project." Her excuse was that her sewing machine pedal broke weeks prior and that it was supposed to be coming in the mail "any day now." This of course would be reasonable if she would have communicated in a timely manner, which she did not. This would also be understandable if she simply apologized and took responsibility for her mistake, which she also did not. The quality of her work nor her prices are enough to justify the cons of choosing Maullie over a brick and mortar tailor with employees that treat customers with respect and communicate like adults. Screenshots attached.
