    Kay Unger formal jumpsuit

    I had a formal jumpsuit gown from designer Kay Unger that needed major alterations. I am a petite 5'1, and her gowns are for regular sized people 5'5. Eric measured and re-measured: shorten the crotch, taper the pants, shorten the pants, shorten the gown. Gown was ready one week ahead of time. Alterations were on point. Very happy with the final product. Sounds like I found myself a dressmaker!!!

    I had a disappointing experience with Margarita's Dress Studio…read more I originally came in for dress alterations and ended up purchasing a yellow dress for $150. Based on our conversations, I believed I was buying a unique piece from the studio. Later, I discovered what appeared to be the exact same dress being sold on Shein for around $40. Since I had purchased the dress for a high-profile dinner and believed it was a unique design, I felt misled and very disappointed. I contacted Margarita to discuss the situation. During a phone conversation, she acknowledged my concerns and suggested she could offer a significant discount on a future project, as we had discussed having a custom blazer made. However, when I later arrived with fabric for the blazer and again raised the issue of the dress, she told me there was no return policy and did not honor the discount that had been discussed. What made the experience even more frustrating was the way I was treated in the studio. While we were in the middle of discussing my concerns, another customer arrived and Margarita immediately shifted her attention to them. After waiting, we resumed our conversation, only for the same thing to happen again when another customer entered. I felt that my time and concerns were not being respected. The combination of feeling misled about the dress and the lack of professional customer service left me with a very negative impression. Unfortunately, I can no longer recommend this business based on my experience.

    My daughter Grace and I took her wedding gown to Margaryta to have Grace's son's Christening gown…read moremade from it. My daughter described what she wanted in the gown. We had no idea how this was going to turn out. Margaryta created a masterpiece! It is absolutely stunning. Grace is thrilled with the Christening gown. Working with Margaryta was so easy. Just a wonderful experience from beginning to end. We now have this beautiful Christening gown for all my daughter's future children as well. A cherished heirloom for sure. A million thank yous to Margaryta!

    I had a dress altered fall of last year. She was rude and seemed very entitled as because she…read moreseemed to know better. She also criticized my dress material. She agreed I could pick up on a confirmed date and time a few weeks later. When I arrived it was barely worked on. She is completely disorganized with pins on the floor by the way which is a safety hazard. I had to come back 1-2 hours later so she can fix it. Complete waste of time and unprofessional. I did not recommend her to any friends or family- there are other tailors in the area that are more professional, timely and offer affordable prices

    I had a very emotional experience. I was going to just write it off and forget about it, but I…read morethink it's only fair to the owner and other brides-to-be to share my experience from my point of view. I came to Sammie in September 20, 2022 to request a few alterations for my wedding gown. I needed it to be taken in, have a zipper installed, patchwork to be sewn back on, among a few other things. I needed a petticoat for my dress, and the one that I brought in from Amazon didn't quite work, so Sammie advised I return the petticoats and wait for her to see if she could get me one and she would include it for no extra charge if it wasn't too expensive. All of this Sammie said she could do for a flat rate fee of $700. At that time, Sammie pinned up my dress where things needed to be corrected and I paid her a deposit of $150 to start work. During this first appointment, Sammie made a few comments about my weight asking if I was trying to lose any. She also asked these questions over the phone when I called in late July to schedule an I repeatedly told her that I was not trying to lose any weight, that I was very happy with me. What made this appointment more chaotic is her dog who was disabled and wearing a diaper was barking and whining the entire time. I felt bad for Sammie. My first fitting was scheduled for November 28, 2022. To my horror, when I came in and saw my dress, I noticed NOTHING had been done to it. The only thing she did was rip the stitching out from the side. This was hardly a fitting. The first fitting basically became a repeat of my first appt. Then when I started asking her about the patchwork, she said that she would glue them back on instead of sew. She also pulled out this petticoat that she said she made for somebody else that changed their mind and offered it to me to rent for an additional cost. That petticoat didn't work for me either, and I was taking a back that she expected me to give her extra money for it when it was something that she didn't have to go out of her way to buy. Another week goes by, and I watch Sammie post things on social media advertising her business and I begin to grow more concerned that she's not working on my dress. So I had a few friends call her to see if she was available for an appointment, which she said she was. So, once I knew that she was in her shop, I went over there to pick up my dress. At that time I didn't have the heart to tell her how I felt she wasn't making make me feel like a priority, and I was losing confidence in her abilities as a seamstress. I didn't want the confrontation. I just told her that I was going to do something else. As soon as I left, I brought my dress to the cleaners around the corner from me, who installed my zipper, and took in my dress within a matter of five days. I then took my dress home and corrected everything else myself. In the end, I was able to wear the dress that I wanted at my wedding, and it looked exactly how I had imagined it. I had spoke with a couple other seamstresses, one of which is a very good friend of mine and has been doing this for over 30 years and they said Sammi should've never accepted any money from me until the work was done. Also, the fact she was asking $700 and had my dress for over two months and did nothing to it was a red flag, and I definitely was right by taking it from her. She was putting me in a very stressful position where my wedding was less than two months away, and I didn't even have my dress. I didn't want that anxiety. I honestly think the owner is going through something, and it didn't help that her dog died. I think she was getting herself into things that she couldn't truly commit to, and didn't have the heart to say no. But she was OK with taking my money which is not something I sit well with. I would suggest using her for other things like making pillows, because based off of what she posts on Facebook, that seems to be where her heart is right now. I wish her all the best. 2/6/2023 - tried filing a dispute with the seller to get back my $150 deposit and the owner is refusing to refund me. She could've very well sabotaged my wedding day had I left my dress with her. I had to do what I had to do and bring it to someone else. She was going to grossly overcharge me for services and then not even make me a priority. No Bride should ever have to stress out about their wedding dress not being ready, especially when they bring it in for alterations 4 months prior to the wedding day!!! BRIDES BEWARE!!!!

    Stitch & Style Studio - Wedding dress alteration

    Stitch & Style Studio

    If I could give Natasha and the team at Stitch & Style more than 5 stars, I would! They truly saved…read morethe day for me. I was only 3 months postpartum and had purposely waited to shop for my wedding dress because I had no idea what size I would be after pregnancy. Unfortunately, that meant I didn't go dress shopping until August 8th with our wedding week beginning September 1st. I knew the timeline was crazy, but after buying my dress off the rack, I still needed A LOT done in less than three weeks. The dress needed to be dry cleaned, there were tears in the mesh back that needed to be repaired, the zipper needed to be replaced, the straps needed work, cups needed to be added, it needed to be altered to fit me, and I still needed a bustle. I called so many places and was either turned away, quoted extremely high rush fees, or made to feel terrible for having waited so long. Stitch & Style had originally been highly recommended to me by the bridal shop where I purchased my dress, so when I was running out of options I finally called and basically said, "I know this is insane, I'm 3 months postpartum and getting married in 3 weeks...can you help me?" From that very first phone call, Natasha was SO kind, reassuring and completely nonjudgmental. She immediately made an incredibly stressful situation feel manageable and assured me that we could get it done before we left for Cape May. I was also so excited to find out they had just opened their Newtown location--I actually ended up being their very first customer there! Natasha made my dress a priority over those next few weeks and stayed in constant communication with me throughout the entire process. She even took the dress herself to the dry cleaner they work with so we could get that taken care of immediately before alterations began. She and her team accomplished an unbelievable amount of work in such a short period of time, and the finished dress fit PERFECTLY. I genuinely couldn't believe how good I felt when I put it on. Even at my final fitting, Natasha thought of the little things. Because my bustle tucked underneath the dress and wasn't necessarily obvious, she set up my phone and recorded a step-by-step video showing exactly how to bustle it so I could send it to my bridesmaids for the wedding day. That little detail says so much about the level of care she puts into her work. Considering everything they had to do and the incredibly short turnaround time, I also thought the pricing was extremely fair. More than anything, though, I will always remember how Natasha treated me. She made me feel like I had known her forever and turned what had become one of the most stressful parts of wedding planning into something I didn't have to worry about anymore. I cannot thank Natasha and her team enough. My dress looked and fit beautifully, everything was finished on time, and I got to leave for my wedding knowing it was completely taken care of. I will recommend Stitch & Style over and over again--and anything I ever need altered in the future is going straight to Natasha.

    I have been searching for years to find a truly talented seamstress, and I honestly feel so lucky…read moreto have found them!!! I first met my friends at Stitch and Style during a difficult time when I was dealing with some health issues. They were incredibly patient and understanding, never making me feel rushed, even when I wasn't sure how long I'd be able to stand for fittings. That kindness meant more than they probably realize. I'm extremely particular about my clothes, especially my jeans. When they're hemmed, I want the original seam preserved and the width at the bottom to look exactly the way it did before. They nail it every single time. The quality of their work is flawless. There have also been a few times when I needed alterations at the last minute, and they went out of their way to accommodate me. That level of customer service is rare these days. I've also seen some of the custom dresses they've created, and the craftsmanship is absolutely stunning. I shop at high end stores, and I won't settle for anything less than perfection when it comes to alterations. They consistently exceed my expectations. I almost hate writing this review because part of me wants to keep them my little secret! But they deserve every bit of recognition. If you're looking for exceptional workmanship, professionalism, and genuinely kind people, you won't find anyone better. Karen K
