He is incredibly talented and truly listens to what you're hoping to achieve. Every dress he has resized for me fits beautifully, and you would never know it had been altered. He has also brought dresses back to life that I thought were ruined because of broken zippers. His craftsmanship is exceptional, and the quality of his work consistently exceeds my expectations. On top of that, he offers dry cleaning, which is such a wonderful convenience to have right in the neighborhood. It's rare to find someone who combines this level of skill, attention to detail, and genuine care for their customers. His work is worth every penny, and I recommend Lu the Custom Tailor without hesitation. If you're looking for someone you can truly trust with your favorite clothes, this is the place to go.

I truly feel so lucky to have found Marya design. I bought a wedding dress, which was a simple…read moredesign but had a massive train, which I didn't feel particularly comfortable wearing for my relatively casual wedding that didn't have a ceremony. When I was buying the dress, I was told that it would be impossible to remove the train while maintaining the shape of the dress, so I had resigned myself to needing to add a bustle and would just wear it bustled the whole time. When I told Marya what I hoped for, she didn't blink an eye before saying she could remove the train and keep it even all the way around. When she showed me the dress to approve at my second appointment, I was truly speechless. It looked like it was designed that way and looked even better than I could have imagined. So already, she was a true wizard to me, but I ended up using her again to add a lining to another dress I bought for the courthouse, which I loved but had an inner bodysuit that was totally visible through the white fabric. She took out the bodysuit and added a lining so it was not only beautiful, but also way more comfortable to wear. She is an absolute magician, so professional and so incredibly talented. And reasonably priced for the highest quality. What more could you ask for?

I had Marya take in my dress at the waist/hip area and add a bustle, and she did a terrible job! If…read moreit weren't for the other tailor who was able to salvage my dress at the last minute, Marya would've ruined my $3k+ dress! First, after she took in the dress at the hips, a bulge in the fabric formed at my butt. According to another tailor, the bulge formed because Marya didn't alter the dress correctly, not because the dress didn't fit me correctly. It cost me $300 to get rid of the bulge, and finding a tailor to do this last-minute work was so stressful! The hip alterations also caused the buttons to come down my back and hips at a diagonal because Marya only took in the dress at one side, causing an asymmetry. Because she could only finish the hip alterations a week before the wedding, I had to remove all 12 dress buttons to fix the asymmetry. The other tailor would've had to completely reverse her alterations to properly fix the problem, which would've taken weeks. Second, she only took in the top layer of the dress, without taking in the under layers. This caused the larger under layers to bunch up or fold underneath the tighter top layer. It looked like streaks going down the back of my dress! Third, the first time my maid of honor tried to bustle my dress, one of the bustle buttons fell off! I had to rush to sew the button back on, which was extremely stressful because I don't even know how to sew! Lastly, she damaged the beading on the neckline of my dress. Multiple beads on one side of the neckline had fallen off when I got the dress back, creating a noticeable hole. Overall, Marya's poor alterations caused me so much stress a week before my wedding. I highly recommend that anyone with an expensive dress go elsewhere, because according to the tailor who was able to salvage my dress, Marya didn't have the skill or experience to correctly alter my dress!! Edit: - My dress is second-hand, but you can see that the neckline is not damaged in the photo Marya took at my first appointment with her. - Because I did not have a final fitting, I knew there was a chance the dress would be too tight. If the dress simply didn't fit me, I would not be writing this negative review. I'm writing this review because she damaged the neckline of my dress and did not alter my dress correctly, causing issues that could not be properly fixed within a week before my wedding (this was the earliest she could return my dress to me). It seems like she took shortcuts to save time when altering my dress, such as only taking it in on one side and not taking in the under layers of the dress. The only way the dress could be fixed within a week before my wedding was by shortening the zipper, making it extremely difficult to get into the dress, and removing most of the buttons. - I have no reason to lie in this review. Marya won't even give me a partial refund for her services, and I don't have time to go to small claims court. At this point, I just want to help out future brides by writing this honest review. - Marya is trying to get my honest review taken down on other sites, so there might be other negative reviews that she has suppressed.

Ilove that they come pick up and drop it back off - so convenient. They were so kind and heard all my thoughts about what I was looking for and said they would reach out with any questions. The update: When I first got the quilt back it wasn't what I expected with the material that was used for the patches. But I'm adding this part to speak to Burrell's incredible response and solution. He offered to rework it and was very sincere on making sure I was happy with the finished product. After I found a fabric that was the same material and matched the style better, he redid the patches, sent me pictures before redoing them to make sure it was what I envisioned, and returned my quilt again. I absolutely love it and am just so grateful for how he handled everything. Highly, highly recommend and will definitely contact him for anything I need in the future.

The mother was very nice and said they would be done by the following Wednesday. When I didn't hear anything by that day, I called. The mother couldn't find my order until some back and forth and then she told me it would be ready the next day. I expressed frustration because I needed to wear it that Friday and would have to change plans Thursday to pick it up. I asked what time it would be ready and she very rudely said, "I told you Thursday, what more do you want." When I expressed frustration again she said they would text me when it was done and she hung up on me. I immediately went to pick up my garment. Again, the "mother" was the only one there. She said it was her daughter that had talked to me 10 minutes earlier. I asked to get the daughter on the phone but she refused and said she was in the hospital - which didn't add up. I asked for my garment back and my money back. She asked 'why' a few times and finally gave the garment back and gave me a cash refund. I had to spend twice the amount at another shop in order to have my garment done the next day. Neyra - if this is truly your business and your mother - she's going to ruin it.

Introduction: Last…read moreof the current alphabet series! Z is for Zips Cleaners representing 2024. And also this is coincidentally my 800th Yelp review!! After this before moving onto 2025, I will go back through runner-ups of businesses letters where I chose an out of town location, and I wanted to pick a place that was local to DMV: Central MD, northern VA, or DC. For example, my next review will be the letter K from 2018 in Silver Spring as a runner-up to one I wrote in Wilmington, DE. This is an effort to support places local to my area. Experience: I rarely get dry cleaning these days as I mainly work from home, but every once in a blue moon I'll need. There's 2 dry cleaners near me in Maryland City, which I used before, which both had annoyed me, and their prices went way up, which further annoyed me. I decided I was willing to drive over to Laurel potentially (since I think there were only the 2 in Maryland City, and Laurel was the next closest area for dry cleaning), but I looked online for pricing & reviews of various places. I called to clarify pricing. I was a bit skeptical of Zips as I had heard some not good things about them when I lived in northern VA, so I never went. I called the Laurel Zips, and the woman was very nice answering my questions. The prices were much more reasonable. So, I was willing to take a gamble on them. I went, the same woman was friendly in person, and the clothes were ready at the promised time. I didn't get overcharged, had any issues, & the clothes came out well. I'll consider Zips Laurel to be my go to dry cleaner.

Since I did not know their process, I called first. The process for drop-offs/fittings and pick-ups is scheduled through the website. While on the call, I asked some questions and was provided with a good amount of information to feel confident about scheduling the appointment. The website scheduling process was simple. On the day that I dropped off my garment, the process was pretty quick. I tried on the item and we discussed the alterations. I think the entire visit was about 10-15 minutes. We discussed when I wanted to pick it up, as well as pricing and payment options. We verbally set a pickup day, but it also required a scheduled appointment, so I immediately set a specific appointment for a few days later. When I picked up the item, I tried it on and the alterations were exactly what I wanted. Needless to say, I am pleased with the alterations. I would definitely return. I paid using my phone, so it was great. Comparatively speaking, I think her prices are pretty competitve with other cleaners and tailors in the area.
