Maria did an absolutely amazing job on my daughters dress. She was quick and her work was impeccable! Highly recommend!

I would recommend her shop She does a great job and price is very reasonable. I try support small businesses.

Read the reviews, but had an amazing experience. We needed a tailor and quick. My wife went in and explained, and Maria told her to come back at 7 pm. We came back and the outfit was perfectly adjusted and now fits like a glove! Did I mention the prices are very reasonable? We were so happy, that we felt we had to write about it. Maria is very experienced and professional. Cute accent too. read more

I gave this place a chance because my mother used to get good alterations done here at a reasonable price. Now it takes several weeks to get items done. She'll give you a timeline, you'll call to check if they're ready and she'll tell you a few more days. Those days pass, you call to check in and it's still not ready. This song and dance will go on and on for weeks. It's a waste of time and gas. read more

I brought her a pair of jeans to fix the zipper which I also paid her for before hand. She told me to pick the pants up a week later when I went to get the pants she could not find it and then told me she did not fix it yet she then found it in a pile of other clothes when I brought the jeans home to try them I realized that the zip was never fixed and when I brought it back to her she told me that the jeans I brought was not the jeans that she fixed. The fact that this lady would try to steal $10 is pathetic. She is very unprofessional and I would not recommend. read more

Maria's Tailor Shop - The zip that she never fixed and when I told her she did not fix it she tried to tell my that these are not the pants and she did fix it - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Bridgeport, Connecticut

Maria did a great job with a few dresses and pants I brought in for alterations. The work was done very professional and she went above and beyond. I have used Maria's Taylor Shop on varies clothing from hemming to zipper replacements on jackets and pants to alterations many many times. I am very happy with Maria's work and very fortunate to have a seamstress that does an exceptional work. If you need any alterations, make sure to visit Maria and you won't be disappointed. She's honest and someone I can trust with my clothes! read more

Very unprofessional. I had to wait while she was on a personal phone call. She said the alterations would take a week, and it wasn't done when she said it would be. When it was finally finished, I had to take my daughter's wedding dress to another tailor to fix the mess I got back from Maria's. read more

I purchased 3 suits for my boyfriend for his birthday that needed some alterations. Maria was recommended by my brother. My boyfriend went to her and was told that the suits would be ready for pick up that Thursday. I went in to pick up the suits because he was working. She doesn't except anything but cash. Making me have to leave to get cash in order to pay the remanding balance for the suits. As my boyfriend wasn't there to try on the suits in order to check her work I specifically asked if he had any issues could he return to have them fixed. She replied yes but he will not have any problems. Well I get home and the suits are not done right. Sleeve alterations were done wrong, one was longer than the other. Leg hem was wrong they are still too long, and the blazer needed to be taken in which also wasn't done properly. Plus buttons looked like they were damaged, they some how had become lose. My boyfriend called to inform her of the situation and was told to return. When he did the door was locked no sign in the window of break,and no answer on the phone. He returned 2-3 times and still no one has been in the store and no answer on the phone. Today he went AGAIN and the door was locked. He called, I called and my brother called. Finally she comes strolling out her house to speak to him. He tells her what needs fixing and she tells him there is nothing wrong with them that she did what he asked and that if he wanted them fixed "more" it would be EXTRA money. Unbelievable, such a terrible experience with this women. Very Unprofessional and rude. Will never return or recommend her to anyone. read more

When I first walked in I had to wait cause she was on the phone. I brought Maria 3 pants to fix. 2 was a zipper and the other one was a button. I went to pick them up and on one of the pants still had the zipper broken, so I asked what happened the zipper is not fixed. She said I thought you wanted them hemmed up. I had NEVER told her I needed a hem. So now I have to wear my pants with boots cause they are too short on me. How do you get hem from zipper. I will NEVER go there again or recommend this place ever!!!! read more

I've been bringing my clothing to Maria for many years (about 12-13yrs if not longer)...whether it's a quick hem that needs fixing to all out tailoring/alterations. She's extremely skilled, however I can no longer take her unprofessionalism. I dropped off a few dresses, blouses, and slacks in September. I stopped by 2 weeks later on a Saturday during normal hours to pick up my clothes - the door was locked. No sign on the door to indicate a "break or brb". I called and left her a message, she never returned my call. This is not the first time this has happened but I let it go. I finally picked up my clothes on 11/22 and I noticed a few blouses were damaged - she said that's the way I brought them (not so!). This was the first time I experienced this type of issue with her. I still decided to leave 2 slacks to be hemmed and a jacket zipper to be fixed. She told me they would be ready in 1 week. Here I am standing in the shop 1 week later and nothing was done! I drove 35mins out of my way today and have done so numerous times as a loyal customer to give her my business. I asked her if she would knock off a few bucks for the inconvenience since I would have to come back and she said no. She continued to say that she is cheaper than anyone else. Well I will take my business elsewhere and pay $2 more if I have to for professionalism. read more

I would have given her more stars if she stopped yakking on the phone with personal phone calls and did her job. I have yet to walk in there without her talking on the phone. She does ok work on sewing. She doesnt pay attention to what you tell her and it could be the accent she has. She also is a little on the rude side and should speak better to her customers. After all without customers she wouldnt be so lucky to work out of her home. She also only takes cash. read more

We went to Maria's shop to shorten my prom dress. I got a recommendation from my family friends and they warned me she can only do simple jobs. I thought shortening a dress would be easy enough to do but I was wrong. First of all she charged me thirty dollars upfront and was rude. Maria's sewing skills were terrible, she didn't even do it straight and it was side ways. Maria was always on the phone when we needed her attention, when we picked up the dress she didn't even want me to try it on to see if everything is fine. At the end I had to go find someone else to fix her mistakes and paid extra money!!! Don't waste your time and money here... read more

Maria is a very good seamstress and I have used her for many alterations. I would love to give her 4 stars on quality and fair price, but she is prone to closing the shop during her posted hours of operation and leaving just when you finally get the chance to go there! Best advice is to call first, let her know you are on the way so you don't make wasted trips. Call when picking up too! read more

When I first walked in she was talking on the phone and completely ignored me. If I had had another choice (my usual tailor being out of town) I would have left but decided to stick it out. When I came back a week later to pick up my items she had completely forgotten about them and did not have them done. When I did finally get my items back I found that the alternations had been done very poorly. The cleavage of the v neck dressed I wanted raised was lop sided and puckered with the stitch showing. The dress pants I wanted the waist brought in was done so tightly I could barely get in them and she sewed my pockets halfway shut without asking. In short she ignored all the measurements she had taken. I now have to go back and get my items fixed. I have yet to decide whether I am going to trust her to fix her mistakes or whether I am going to have her undo her work, give me my money back and go elsewhere. I would only trust this woman with hems and only if you have lots of time to waste read more
