    Wedding dress
    Odalys S.

    Amazing how well they work. From a super complicated all pearl dress or a wedding dress to just a simple hem. Beyond perfection and professionalism. I highly recommend this store. Margarita the owner makes you feel like family.

    Great bunch of ladies! They sorted me right out for both wedding dresses. A lot of Spanish and "mama" so I was a little concerned since I wasn't understanding absolutely everything but... absolutely nailed it for me. I'll take anything that needs alterations to them...anytime!

    The back of the dress on the wedding day

    I ordered a bridesmaid dress online without trying it on and when it arrived and wouldn't zip up all the way.... I honestly thought I had no other options but I found Margarita'a Alterations and thought to give them a chance even though I had little to no hope. When I tried the dress on in the store the seamstress gave me several options but then we decided to remove half of the zipper and turn it into a corset back. I was very skeptical how it would turn it but they absolutely KILLED it! I will admit it wasn't cheap, I honestly thought it would be less pricy but it was honestly worth it. In life you truly do get what you pay for it and this was 100% worth it.

    Original, cheap YKK zipper
    Karen G.

    First off, it's so nice and refreshing to be greeted with such a sincere warm welcome at any local mom and pop store, let alone in Miami! After reading great reviews on both Yelp and Google, I decided to take a chance. The girls I dealt with, Alexandria and Candy, are so nice and personable. They listened and understood my needs. I brought in two pairs of jeans that needed fixing. After 10 months of having these jeans, which quickly became my favorite, the zipper teeth broke off on both. I emailed them pictures and they replied a couple of hours later to bring them in. I brought them in the next day and Alexandria was confident that they could replace the zipper without any issues. I wasn't in a big rush so she said in one week they would be ready and they were. The new zipper happens to be the same brand as the old zipper, YKK, with the exception that this new zipper is of higher quality: stronger and sturdier. The old zipper was slim, flimsy and of cheaper quality, good for book bags, not jeans. Four days later, I brought in two brand new pairs of jeans to get hemmed. I had previously purchased these to replace the ones with the broken zippers, but they only came in tall size. Candy, helped me out and I asked her to please match the same length as the ones they are working on. She said no problem and that they would be ready when I pick up my other jeans. Great! The hemming done by Margarita's Alterations was perfect. It even matched the stitch color. I am very happy with the work done by Margarita's Alterations. I now know I can fully trust them with my garments. I highly recommend them to anyone who needs their clothes altered or repaired. Cost to replace zippers $18.00 each Cost to hem jeans $12.00 each

    Carolina is a talented, passionate artist who made my wedding dress dreams come true! She took my…read moremom's wedding dress (from the 1970s!) and created an entirely new, modern dress for me. Everything about it was perfect. I can't say how very much I loved working with her to create such a beautiful dress for my wedding day. Trusting her with my mom's dress was the best decision I made!

    I may not be Cinderella but Carolina sure feels like my fairy godmother with how she saved my fit…read morefor my best friend's wedding in a pinch. This past weekend I was trying on the dress I got for my best friend's welcome party for her destination wedding. The zipper got stuck, then it broke, and my panic for having a new dress for this occasion in under a week set in. I used Yelp assistant to put in a request to local alterations spots and let them know I had a broken zipper off the track of a formal dress and I needed it fixed before Tuesday. This request was sent on a Saturday afternoon, so to be honest I was not very hopeful of any replies but Carolina replied right away. Her studio is right by my apartment so she told me to take my dress in right then to see if it could be fixed. She fixed the zipper on the spot, and when we actually tried on the dress we realized that I did not fit. Welcome to my nightmare. She had the brilliant idea to alter the dress and add fabric on the sides to give me the inches I needed. The result is essentially a custom dress that I am obsessed with, and at a great price. I am definitely going to keep Carolina on speed dial for any of my alterations needs as she is super sweet, detail oriented, and very well priced. Her studio is located in a blue building on Mediera and there is street parking right in front. Thank goodness for both request a quote and Carolina for saving my dress fiasco.
