By far Marla is the BEST in town. She has been doing mine & my families alterations for over 15 years. She is the sweetest, kindest soul who happens to be magical at alterations. Thank you Marla! read more

She did an amazing job altering a dress for me for my son's wedding day, thank you I'll be coming back for future needs!

Maral helped to alter my bridesmaids dress for my sisters wedding. Calling is the way to get ahold of her and schedule something. She worked around my work schedule which I appreciated. She had me come in to try on my dress so she could take measurements. Her office is small, but she has a changing area in the back corner. She had me try on dress for her and stand on a platform while she pinned. She worked quickly but diligently to pin it all up. I paid her when I dropped off my dress and she gave me a ticket to pick it up. The cost was $80, which I was a bit surprised, i thought it was going to be more, because there were several layers to the dress. I don't get gowns hemmed all the time so I'm not sure if thats comparable or not, but I was satisfied. I dropped off my dress July 6th, and I needed it by September 1st, she scheduled me to come back and pick it up August 10th. The week of August 10th rolls around and I called to confirm the pick up and I had to change the time. She said that was fine, and then let me know that she had to take my dress to dry cleaners, because during alterations it got some sewing machine oil on it. She took care of the cleaning though, and I didn't notice anything wrong with it when I tried it on at home. Thank you Maral for your work! read more

Maral always takes great care in getting the job done before you need the item. She's done work for us numerous times and the results are great! read more

Maral is fantastic and so sweet to deal with! I love that she's been at her location for nearly 20 years and can tailor anything you take to her. She even left extra material in my son's slacks to extend as he grows and we didn't have to ask her to do it ahead of time. read more

So I did what people said and called ahead of time and during this call she seemed annoyed stating that she has too many orders already. I told her that all I needed was a very simple quick fix on two pairs of jeans, one needed a new metal button and the other needed the loop hole where the belt goes to be sewn back on. Let's just say she didn't seem friendly and not even a hi or hello upon entering her shop, just a blank stare. For the botton, she straight rejected my idea of putting another standard metal button because she felt like it wouldn't work.... Instead she suggested just sewing a button on.... Long story short I ended up just ordering metal buttons from Amazon. As for the loop repair she didn't charge me much and fixed it right away but my only complaint is that since it was such an easy fix, why didn't she try to match the rest of stitching on the jeans? Sounds petty and it's something so small no one will see but does that mean if it were a bigger item that the quality of work would have been equally bad on a larger scale? The top is where it was fixed but the stitching all around the pants are like the one on the bottom. I mean it's so small no one will see it but the first impression also is deterring me from coming back. I know that bad reviews can hurt a business but also your approach to people is your representation of your business. read more

Maral did a great job shortening my wedding reception dress. The dress is covered in sequins and has two layers. It was the perfect length, it was done at a competitive price, and it was ready at the pickup time. And Maral is a very sweet woman. Thank you again! read more

Maral's Alterations - Thank you Maral for hemming my wedding reception dress! - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Clovis, California

I have gone into Maral's Alterations several times for various things; something to be fixed or hemmed. Her quality of work has always been done to perfection. She is such a joy to talk with. Always sincere. And her prices are so fair. I have mentioned to her before that the time she spends mending each item, is worth so much more, than what she is charging. Not once, have I been disappointed with her work. She works with detail and quality and at a very reasonable price. Thanks Maral. read more

I have taken many items to Maral over the years for all kinds of fixes and alterations. My favorite service was having darts sewn* into all of my dress shirts and polos so that they fit great! Even last minute stuff, bless her. Always a top notch job, and she cares about her customers. Going in today for some long over-do repairs and alterations. read more

Maral helped me fix my wedding dress. It was a unique experience because we both were going through many challenges in life. My original wedding date was in June 2020. I brought the dress to Maral in Nov 2019 to size it down (the top opening was too big) and shorten the length. Before that I had already shopped around. Unfortunately no one could offer their service at an affordable price due to the intricate beadwork on the dress. Maral came up with a creative solution which would greatly reduce the amount of beadwork involved. Her price was also very reasonable. The only problem was her husband just had a major surgery so she could not work on it right away. I assured her that we had plenty of time and we wouldn't mind waiting. 2020 wasn't an easy year. It turned out we had to postpone our wedding from June to Dec. Maral had to close her shop for a while due to the stay-at-home order. In the meantime her husband went through more surgeries (thank God he was a strong fighter and survived)! We called each other a few times. She was always kind, caring, understanding, and professional. Long story short, I got my dress back in Nov 2020. It was PERFECT!! And we had such a beautiful wedding up on the mountains. I attached a photo here to show the dress. The shoulders stayed on comfortably the entire time. Thank you Maral for your magical touches! I would highly recommend Maral to anyone! read more

Maral is amazing! She helped my partner and I with his graduation suit when he was in a time crunch and the alterations were perfect! She is also very warm and friendly. I definitely recommend her! read more

Maral did some alterations on my husbands suit and got it done before the date she quoted us! Great service!

My normal alterations person was out of the country so I went to Maral's because I saw that she recieved 5 stars. BEWARE! She gets one star because it doesn't allow no stars. There is no way her work is considered professional. Otherwise, she had someone else alter my daughter's dress. Also, she was unbelievably unprofessional and rude when I expressed my dissatisfaction of the work done. She made a bow tie out of the excess dress material and sowed the velcro on backwards, and her stitching of the straps and taking in the dress was a complete mess. Seriously! I had to take it to another alteration place to fix her mess. I have to believe people don't post negative comments because you can't remain anonymous. I just wish I knew, so that is why I'm posting. The photos will tell the story. read more

Maral's Alterations - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Clovis, California

maral is a very rude lady and i am very disappointed in her negative attitude and her business practice. first it is unfair to pay for services that you have not receive or how the work was done`` secondly, she is high and i feel she should have a price list of each item that need to have alteration done. third, she give you a date and the work isn't done, and then she gets upset when yuou aske her "why". overall it has been a bad experience with her. i will never go back to her. i think she is racism and rude!! read more

I have used Maral twice and have been so so pleased with her work as well as her customer service. I had a bridesmaid dress taken in a few years ago and it was a high end, fully sequined dress and she nailed it. A few weeks ago, 5 days before my wedding, my lovely husband decided to finally try on his pants for his suit and discovered they were a bit baggy and not fitted correctly by men's warehouse. The first person i called was maral and she squeezed him in that afternoon and had his pants done in two days. I was a desperate exception and I'm sure she didn't have time for that but i told her I'd willingly pay more if she could help us out and she did and the pants looked perfect. Fitted to a tee and he looked so handsome. She will be my go to for all of my alteration needs. Absolutely recommend Maral!!! read more

Maral was very nice and accommodating with me and my time crunch. Needed my bathing suit straps fixed in a rush. She got my suit back to me the next day and the price was very fair, will definitely be using Maral's Alterations again. read more

Bought my gown on Thursday night August 5, 2021 when I got home I tried it on but the gown was to long and has a big opening in the back and I want it to altering to make it smaller And bring it upward and I really need it done badly. I called 2 alterations on August 6 and both of them refused me cause they really need at least 1 or 2 weeks to get it done and I really the gown for August 7, 2021 for debut even. I felt like there is no hope . But when I called Maral Alterations and explained and need to expedite. She don't hesitate to help me. I felt so relieve. Agreed that she charged double of the price $$ of the gown but it's worth of the time that I really need it. read more

Called and asked about getting my daughters cheer uniform altered. I didn't even finish my sentence when someone in the background yelled out they're not doing anymore of those orders because they're always rushed and they just finished doing a bunch of those orders so they are taking a break from those kind of orders....way to run a business. Good luck. read more

I was referred to Maral through Yelp, and let me tell you, I was not disappointed! I took my full length formal gown in to be taken up and to have the straps shortened. She made the fitting quick and painless, and her pricing, which she let me know up front, was very reasonable. Though I had given her three weeks until I needed my dress, and even though she clearly had a considerable amount of orders to fill, when I returned to have my sister's dress altered just over a week later my gown was already finished! The work was of the highest quality. As I was taking my dress to leave I accidentally ripped one of the belt loops and she stitched it right then and there without charging me! Based on speed, customer service, and quality of work, I would highly recommend Maral's to anyone seeking alterations. read more

I started taking our alterations to Maral when I lived right around the corner from her shop. I have never been disappointed by her work. She is professional as well as talented. And very accommodating when I need work done. Her prices are also very competitive! (Sometimes much lower!) My husband is a retired law enforcement officer and she has even completed repairs on his uniforms when he has damaged them. I have referred many family members, friends, and local social media groups to her. It has been over 20 years I have been taking our clothing to her and now my daughter takes all her clothing to her ever since she moved back into town. We will all continue to take our alterations to Maral and we will also continue to refer others. We love her!! read more

Maral was so helpful. Another alterations place had attempted twice to fix a dress for me. I took it to Maral and she knew exactly what the others had done wrong. She fixed my dress on the spot for me while we had a lovely conversation. Her work was perfect and she was so kind. Will return to her for all my alterations needs. read more

Absolute livesaver! I contacted Maral 2 weeks ago with my bridesmaid dress which fit but only if I held my breath. Who can hold their breath for an entire wedding? After frantic internet research I asked her what could be done? She told me that she could fix it and no, I didn't have to add a corset back (like I worried). She didn't want me to have to spend too much. She had me put the dress on and easily made a decision about what to do and told me not to worry. To my delight, she had bra cups available to sew in so I don't have to wear a bra with the dress! (Any girls dream!) Not only will I dance with ease in 2 days, but I will do it with a nice curvier shape. Thank you Maral! I will be back. You are amazing! Highly recommend. read more

I am new to the area and had no idea who to go to for alterations. After repeated raving reviews from people in the community and online reviews I went to Maral! She is so kind and extremely talented. By far exceeded any expectations. She is a miracle worker and I am so appreciative of her excellent craftsmanship. She works by appt only, but will make time for you that accommodates yours and her schedule. She produces the best quality work in an extremely reasonable amount of time as well. Can't wait to work with her again In the future! read more

After getting quotes for new drapes which ended up being way to expensive, I decided to purchase my own drapes and have them altered/hemmed. I spent a lot on my new ready made drapes and was worried about giving them to anyone to alter. Maral's Alterations absolutely did a wonderful job of hemming my new drapes, even understanding my odd way of measuring (lol) I wouldn't hesitate to take anything to Maral's Alterations for sewing work. She is a lovely lady and they are simply the BEST! ***** read more

Maral has been our go to seamstress for years now. She is so sweet, always has a smile when you go into her shop & is a very good seamstress who has sewn everything from prom dresses to hemming slacks for us. I would highly recommend her. read more

I had to drop of a dress to get altered for my wife. My interaction with Maral was awesome. She is very nice and professional. Will wait for the final product and update the review. The building and exact suite is a bit tricky to find because there are a lot of other businesses at the complex. Look for building A - suite 7 at the corner of Alluvial and Peach. read more

Maral's is my go-to shop for all of my alterations. As I've lost a lot of weight and I've probably had 4-6 pairs of jeans & and a few pairs of shorts altered, waist taken in and inseams shortened by Maral over the last 3 years. Her and her husband's attention to detail and professional measurements keep me coming back. You pay for the service up front and they're definitely not the cheapest in town but I've never been dissatisfied or disappointed and most of all never had to have the work redone. I highly recommend Maral's for all of your alterations from uniforms, dresses or even the simplest of needs. read more

COVID-19 hit and I didn't know where to go for alterations. Honestly, I searched by YELP. I'm so glad I did. Maral met me at her shop the same day, both of us wearing face masks. She helped to style my dress with matching jacket. We decided on one week for pick-up. One week later, my outfit fits to PERFECTION. I have already given her name to my mom for alterations. Thankfully, we wear the same size. read more
