IMPORTANT TO NOTE: I was planning a wedding on my own to take place in a matter of 4 months. I had a lot going on & relied heavily on businesses sticking to their word or at least being transparent so I knew what was happening in each area that was imperative to my wedding. --------------------------------------------------------------------- PROS: *My dress was altered perfectly *Judy is a really sweet & hardworking lady -She allowed me to pick up my dress after hours while she was there catching up on orders. -She gave a small token as a wedding gift --------------------------------------------------------------------- CONS: *Communication is LACKING *They don't stick to their timeline *Their operation hindered my ability to seek other options *Their quotes are wishy-washy I will spare the details as I have provided them in a screenshot attached to this review. I commend the everyday Yelp user if you read it but it's mainly for those who will need a wedding, bridesmaid or MOH dress altered because those are typically the garments that you need back by a certain date or need key details done properly. Bottom line is that I can only recommend smaller alterations be done here; blouses, collard shirts, pants. Sadly, I had told a girlfriend of mine about my experience and she said she tried to get a dress altered here a few years back and shared a mutual experience. Only difference was that she walked away with her dress the very day she initially went for an appointment.

She really listened, read the room, and kept narrowing things down until we found the dress. No pressure, just genuine care and a great eye.

I have so many mixed feelings when I think about how my dress appointment here went. I felt…read morewelcomed when I arrived and everyone was nice the vibes were good. All of their dresses were lovely but they only had what felt like a few simple but lovely elegant to choose from which is what I was looking for When I landed on the dress that I liked the most (out of the ones that I wanted to try on) I suddenly felt very pressured to purchase it by my fitter. In hindsight it was the wrong dress and I should have been at least encouraged to think on it and come back for such a big purchase but was not. I ended up buying the dress and was pushed to buy a veil without being told it was $500! (Until i was handed the bill). It unfortunately continues, as most of those buying a wedding dress, this was my first time. I had tried many things on but only ordered once. I trusted my fitter and she asked if I wanted it "a little" smaller or "a little bigger" I obviously went with a little bigger only to receive a dress that was HUGE. I later found out that most places order to your largest size and don't take into account the style of dress you picked and you just have to trust the stylist to help advise. I have a small chest and waist but wide hips and if I chose a form fitting dress my largest size would be needed but I chose a ballgown. So I took home a dress that could absolutely not be worn and had to be fitted so much that the top hardly resembles what I bought. Looking back the vibe was great and the people were nice but it was missing the guidance and support that I think is needed for wedding dress shopping. You typically only do it once or twice and it is made such a large deal there should be space to think about things and also know what is being organized.

Sew Generously falls firmly into the latter category. From my very first consultation to the final fitting, every aspect of the experience was outstanding. The entire team was welcoming, knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely passionate about their craft. It was immediately apparent that this was not simply about making clothing - it was about creating garments that reflect the individual wearing them. The level of expertise and attention to detail throughout the process was remarkable. Every recommendation was thoughtful, every question was answered thoroughly, and every fitting demonstrated an incredible commitment to achieving perfection. At no point did I feel rushed. Instead, I felt like I was collaborating with true artisans who cared just as much about the finished product as I did. The suit they created for me exceeded every expectation I had. We designed a classic three-piece suit featuring fuller drape-style trousers and a longer coat inspired by timeless tailoring traditions. The finished result is elegant, distinctive, comfortable, and exceptionally well-balanced. The fit is unlike anything I have experienced from off-the-rack clothing, and every detail reflects the skill and craftsmanship that went into its creation. The fabric itself deserves special recognition. I selected a featherweight flannel that is simply extraordinary. It has a beautiful drape, incredible comfort, and a luxurious feel while remaining versatile enough to wear throughout much of the year. The way the fabric moves and complements the overall design is something that can only truly be appreciated in person. Equally impressive was the custom dress shirt they created for me. The fit is absolutely flawless, the construction is exceptional, and it is easily one of the finest and most comfortable dress shirts I have ever worn. It pairs perfectly with the suit and serves as another example of the attention to detail and commitment to quality that defines Sew Generously. What impressed me most, however, was how personal the entire experience felt. The team took the time to understand not only my measurements, but also my preferences, my style, and how I wanted the finished garment to look and feel. The result was not just a suit and shirt, it was clothing that felt uniquely mine. In an era where so much of the world has shifted toward mass production and convenience, Sew Generously offers something increasingly rare: genuine craftsmanship, exceptional service, and a level of care that is difficult to find anywhere else. I am genuinely grateful to have found Sew Generously. They have earned a customer for life. In fact, I am already planning my next suit, and my wife and I will be returning this summer to begin designing a custom winter overcoat for her so it will be ready when the colder weather arrives. To the entire Sew Generously team: thank you for creating not only the finest suit and dress shirt I have ever owned, but also one of the most enjoyable and rewarding customer experiences I have had anywhere. I look forward to many years - and many garments - to come.

The initial scheduling and consultation went great. However, when I went in for my first fitting,…read morethe suit was 3-4 sizes too large. It was comically large on me. For the second fitting the suit was still 1-2 sizes too large. They then let me know that unfortunately there was not enough time to do another round of alterations before the wedding. So all the wedding photos are of me in a ill fitting suit. Was the suit terrible? No. But, did it fit? Also no. After the wedding they offered to do yet another set of alterations, this time with a different attendant, who did a much better job on making the suit fit. Photos are of the arms to show how much extra fabric there was after they did alterations, compared to the final suit I got post wedding.

She showed us a variety of dresses but none that we liked. We ended up picking one from the book. Lo and behold, they had one in stock to show us. Vilma also showed us some flowered tiaras and white gloves. We were so happy with the service, I also ended up ordering the boys' suits for my 3 ring bearers as well. I also picked out a light gray dress for my bridesmaids. If they don't have it in stock, they can order it. I communicated this to my wedding party and they came in to get fitted. Vilma was very patient and courteous towards everyone who showed up. All the dresses and suits were ordered at the end of May. The flowergirls' and ring bearers' suit arrived in enough time. However, the bridesmaids dresses arrived a week before my wedding date in mid-September. That's about 3 1/2 months! This made me quite nervous but it was beyond the shop's control. It all worked out. However, my wedding party had to quickly rush to get sized for their dresses and suits. Thank you Dahlia! The shop didn't charge for any alterations on the kids' outfits, only for the bridesmaids dresses. I thought that was a deal! They were able to get all the alterations done in time for my wedding. I had a very positive experience overall and would definitely be back for any future purchases of formal wear. My wedding party looked amazing!

Not trying to throw the word around but when youve dealt with this stuff you know. Just wanted a prom dress. Got the measurements for it to be tailored and received the day before prom.

(Pardon the non-professional cellphone photos!)…read more Our family of four had a wonderful experience working with MDID on our home renovation. Michelle took the time to understand each of our individual styles and what we wanted our space to feel like, blending all of our unique preferences seamlessly into the design. And, it wasn't an easy task with the differing opinions and preferences in the family. She balanced creativity, practicality, and our constraints to bring our dreams to life. Michelle's ideas encouraged us to step just outside our comfort zone, resulting in a home that feels both unique and authentically "us." Throughout the process, Michelle and her team were organized, professional, and detail-oriented. They provided options at different price points and were always mindful of our budget, which we really appreciated. Communication was always clear and prompt. She stayed engaged with us and the construction company, flexibly adapting to the inevitable curve balls that came our way. We did face some real difficulties selecting a general contractor and major bumps along the way with different subcontractors, and Michelle risked offering insights from her depth of experience in a very respectful manner to guide us. She remained attentive to every last detail and was an advocate for us throughout the whole design and build process. We know we couldn't have gotten the house we now have at the amount we spent without MDID. We loved working with Michelle and her team. We know we saved time, money, and our sanity, and we feel very spoiled living in our beautiful home! It's gorgeous. We highly recommend working with MDID.
