Marilize is a natural for taking of your alterations. Also precise and will have your hemming done the next day if needed. I highly recommend her and will definitely go to her for any alterations. read more

I only needed my dress hemmed and she was able to fit me in quickly. I paid $225 for her to hem 3-4 inches off of a 3 layer chiffon bridesmaids dress, and just felt overcharged after comparing with everyone else in my party. She didn't tell me pricing until after I had tried on the dress and she had pinned it for alterations, so I wasn't very comfortable to question it. Overall, the work was done and it was fine, but I do think $225 is extremely high for hemming only. read more

I was recommended by a friend I had some pants that had some rips in them that I needed to get covered along with some pants were too long. Marliz did an amazing job seriously she did the job so quickly and made my jeans fit on me amazing. I recommended her to all my friends and wanted to write a small review to tell you how great she is. If you need anything done steamstress wise she's the one! read more

If you're in Sonoma County or Rohnert Park and need quick alterations, Marliz is the BEST! I had a pair of vintage Levi's that needed alterations and I called Marliz and was able to come the same day! She was incredibly professional, kind and SO fast! Literally she saw how much I needed to take in around my waist and she was done in 10 minutes - no exaggeration. Amazing quality and pricing for her work! I can't wait to bring more jeans to her to alter. read more

Marliz is the absolute best when it comes to alterations!! I purchased my wedding dress online from Azazie very last minute and needed it altered asap. Not only did Marliz respond super quickly but she was able to get in me in to see her within a few days. This woman is talented and she knows what she's doing! She asked so many questions to help me figure what I wanted it to look like and she gave great professional suggestions on how to make it look best on my body. Not only that but she had it ready for me to pick up in 3 days! Marliz is talented in what she does and I will continue to go to her The photos of me in the dress with my hair braided is when I first tried it on. It didn't flatter my body shape and hugged me in all the wrong places lol. The photos of me in my dress on my wedding day look so much better. It's more flattering, more complimentary to my figure and I felt so so beautiful read more

Way too expensive for me to hem a dress just a straight dress $55 or $60 I got the dresses online for no more than $15 each, but unfortunately they're way too long Sorry for telling the truth read more

Marliz adjusted a dress for me and worked with me on how it can best be done. Even more amazing, she was able to do it same day because it was a minor alteration! Awesome value, service, and overall experience. I wouldn't go anywhere else now that I've been to Marliz! Thank you :) read more

Marliz is awesome. reasonably priced. on my most recent visit i only needed a piece of fabric cut to a certain size (my scissors suck) i called her, drove right over and she helped me out with no charge. i get it was a 5 minute simple task but it was still very kind of her to help a girl out. read more

Marliz is the best! She has done several alterations for me over the last few years from formal attire to casual vacation clothes and I am always happy with the results. Most recently Marliz did a bridesmaid dress and my wedding dress - both turned out AMAZING! My wedding dress fit beautifully and I felt comfortable and confident in it all night. She added a bustle, hemmed the bottom, tapered the train, and custom fitted the top of my dress. My husband has also had several suits fitted by Marliz and he has been happy with the results as well. Marliz has a quick turn around time and is very clear with her communication. In my experience the pricing is fair and I've never encountered surprise costs when I come to pickup garments. She is friendly and flexible with drop off and pickup times. read more

Came back today to send her a message and ask about updating some matching dresses I have with my daughter that don't quite fit right for mom! I used her services for a bridesmaid dress many many years ago and always remembered how wonderful the experience was! Excited to get a few new items tailored! read more

Marliz did an excellent job on my husband's suit for our wedding (and a few tiny tweaks on my dress as well)! He was a little nervous about the suit but the moment he got it back and tried it on he was so excited, it fit like a glove! Marliz was communicative, fast and professional. If you need something special altered, I would highly recommend Marliz. read more

Marliz was amazing! I last minute decided to buy a dress for my court house wedding and she fit me in the week I contacted her, then finished the alterations that same week! I'm so in love with my dress, she took the time to explain what would look best / listened to my wants. I'll be coming back for my wedding dress for the big wedding for sure! Thank you so so much!! read more

Though Marliz is kind and I'm sure her other work is great. I was still shocked to have paid over $800 for my wedding dress to be hemmed, straps tightened and the chest to be taken in. Seems really high for what I got in exchange. My dress was covered in different colored thread that I was still picking off the day of my wedding. She threw all my dress scraps in the bottom of my wedding dress bag covered in more different colored thread. The laced hem was poorly done. The cut around the intricate lace detail on the bottom of my dress was all choppy and jagged. It doesn't look like she took her time to cut around the detail at all. The bust area where she took the dress in was bunched up on both sides, And was very uncomfortable on the day of my wedding. It kept riding up because it wasn't sewn strait. Which then made the cups of my dress look empty. The only reason I didn't take it back, was because I was scared it could turn out worse and I also couldn't afford to take it to someone else. I just dealt with the fit as best I could. Luckily I had a reception dress, so I only had to wear my dress for the ceremony. But I'm sad that the dress looks so awkward on my body in my professional photos. I understand labor should never be "cheap" per se. but the work shouldn't be rushed and shotty either. I was never given a receipt, and had to pay her in cash. And I think that right there should have been a red flag. Buyers just beware, she has a really quick turnover, but she's pricey and doesn't seem to take her time on small details that are important. read more

Marliz's Alterations - right side is bunched up. My chest looks flat and doesn't fill the cups because the hem on the sides was done incorrectly. - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Rohnert Park, California

Don't go here. I went here on two personal references and never thought this would happen to me. For one top, two dresses, a skirt and jeans I was charged $360. I was like ok, this must be what it is given the skirt is beaded, pants asymmetrical etc. she basically bunched up the fabric, folded it in and sewed it. I feel like I was charged for a professional job that I did not receive. This is crazy. The green dress shocked me. It all makes sense now how this was ready 3 days after. Not to mention she still had a pin in the jeans where she forgot to move the button over like we discussed. The hems in the skirt were uneven. When I contacted her she gave me $10 back from forgetting the button but wouldn't refund me any of the work. She ruined my clothes and I had to go to Nordstrom to get it properly tailored and even then she would not refund me. She kept saying she could fix the skirt but I don't dare go back. So glad I did a trial with bachelorette and rehearsal clothes because I was considering bringing my wedding dress here. I would have died if I got this botch job on my wedding dress. Don't go here! Save yourself the pain and money. read more

Marliz is amazing. She altered both my dresses that I was wearing for a performance and they both fit so wonderfully. She was clear in explaining what would be done to make sure it was what I wanted and she was so fast! The dresses were ready in record time, and they were so well done I didn't have to worry about a thing while I was on stage. I will definitely be coming to her again soon. read more

I am so happy I found a great alterations place so close to me! I called about a week ago to schedule an appointment for some trousers to be hemmed, and she was willing to operate within that week or later if I wanted. Couldn't believe it! She had me try on my trousers and determine where I wanted them to fall. The finish result was super fast and professional! It didn't take long at all to wait for them and my son, who was with me, was able to wait with me without any fuss. I will definitely be going back whenever I need alterations done. Thank you, Marliz! read more

Marliz is wonderful. Easy to work with and very smart about fitting to your individual shape - much appreciated! She is great at estimating time to completed and much faster turn around then I would have expected. I appreciate her work so much. read more

Marliz always does the best work. She had altered a number of dresses and suits for my family and they always come out perfect!

I called Marliz and asked about turnaround time. She said 1-2 weeks. Fine. I had 3 months until my wedding date. I asked the price on the phone. She said she had to see the dress first. I texted her and asked if she could at least give me a price range. I knew my dress needed very little work. When I arrived, she had me put on the dress. She started talking about shoes and jewelry and fashion tape. Asking me what earrings and necklace I was going to wear. I didn't need or want to talk about this. She was driving the conversation and still not telling me the price although agreeing the dress fit me perfectly and needed minimal work. She took the dress into the other room like it was a done deal. Still not telling me the price, and said "I'll have it ready Friday which was 3 days away." I said, "But how much?" She said very authoritatively and firmly $250. I was shocked but I was also wondering what just happened here. I drove away and immediately felt like I had been swindled. I did more research when I got home and it was definitely an exorbitant price to pay. It should have cost $100 at the very most. It just needed to be hemmed. I texted her the next morning to cancel and she said it was already done and her minimum for a wedding gown was $250. To which I replied, "So you do have a price range and it starts at $250? I asked you several times before coming in for a range and you said you couldn't give one." I never would have gone there if I knew her minimum price was $250. Some may think paying $150 over what I should have paid is no big deal. When getting married, you will find you reach a point where you get tired of being ripped off just because you say the word "wedding." Some vendors were great to work with. They were professional and offered a great product or service at a fair price. Many, however, saw an opportunity to gouge me because I was getting married. Marliz was definitely one of the vendors who did this. Marliz only accepts cash, so she clearly is not paying taxes. My interactions with Marliz were so upsetting that I did not even try on the dress when I picked it up. I just met her in her driveway, gave her the $250 cash and took my dress. Really an unpleasant experience for what should be an occasion filled with joy. What could be more exciting than trying on my wedding gown and getting it hemmed? Do not go to this woman for alterations. There are plenty of other great options for tailors and seamstresses in Marin and Sonoma counties. read more

Marliz is fantastic. She was able to fit me in before my wedding. I had to keep postponing due to Covid but I finally got married in July of this year. She did a fantastic job on my dress. She smoothed the lace on the hips for me and brought the dress up by shortening the straps. She also made it so that I could bustle my dress so I could dance. She's so sweet, quick and does a great job. Highly recommend! read more

I'm getting married at the end of October, so I called Marliz toward the beginning of September because I wasn't sure what the turnaround time would be like, especially considering the amount of weddings that are happening this season. I assumed she'd be swamped! We met on September 15th and discussed what needed to be done to my wedding dress: hemming the front, bustling the back, and taking it in around the chest. When she said she'd be finished in a week, I was so surprised! She did tell me she was very busy, so I was excited she'd finish mine so quickly. I went back a week later on September 22nd, and lemme tell ya, my dress is PERFECT! The front is the perfect length and the bustle looks so cute. When it came to the chest alterations, I didn't realize how much of a difference it would make! The dress originally offered little to no support for my boobs, but I figured that's just how it was. But Marliz worked her magic and even without tape or anything, I feel so much more supported and the top of the bodice cups my chest SO WELL now. I'm still going to be using boob tape as she suggested, but even without it I felt so much better! Based on her knowledge, kindness, and talent, I'd say a visit to Marliz is 1000% worth it!! She's an amazing seamstress and will do your garments justice! read more

Marliz is the best of the best!! My husband and I decided to scrap our wedding and elope last minute, so I rushed to find a dress and in a panic ordered one that was way too big. I cried with regret when I tried it on the first time, but I knew Marliz would make it perfect. Not only did she do a full head to toe alteration, but she did it in under a week! She is such a master at what she does and I always send everyone to her. Thank you Marliz for making my dress perfect for me. I'm sorry it took me so long to leave this review! read more

I cannot thank Marliz enough for everything she did on my wedding dress. When I initially picked up my dress, the shop told me that the local seamstress' would need about 6-8 weeks to alter my dress. Of course, panic sets in as my wedding was 4 short weeks away. I called Marliz and she had fit me in her schedule just 2 days after our phone call. What's even better, she altered my dress in just one short week. Marliz was personable during our appointments, gave advice how to steam the dress prior to the big day, and everything looked perfect. read more

Marliz was great! She had my wedding dress done in a week! She was able to hem all 5 layers, reinforce the loop holes of the corset and she recommended taking in the bust and sides. It was 100% the right call and the dress fit me like a glove! And she was very reasonable. She also did my mom, mother in law, and maid of honor's dresses and they looked great! She made sure everything was good before I left with the dress! read more

Fast and friendly service for a quick hem on a couple of pairs of pants. Came out perfect!

Working with Marliz was such a dream! I was very nervous to find a good tailor for my wedding dress as I had moved to Sonoma County recently, and went in rather blind after having my go-to in San Francisco move away. Marliz is such a sweet and kind person, who is passionate about what she does! That comes off right away. Her attention to detail and quality of work was impressive. My dress was the Cassian Gown by Rue De Seine, which as a lot of texture and is form fitting. She nailed it right away, and pointed out things I never would have noticed to ensure it fit my body perfectly, and that I was also comfortable and could move. I was SO pleased with my dress and how it fit. We got it all done in just 2 sessions, picking it up on the 3rd. My dress had a super low back, but the top could gape open because of this, but she adjusted the straps so it felt sturdy and I could dance the night away in it with zero concern. I rode in on horseback, so it needed to survive that and still remain fitted. IT HELD UP BEAUTIFULLY! Fit like a glove, but I was also able to move. Everyone complimented me the entire night about how perfectly my dress was fitted to my body, thanks to Marliz! It certainly did not look this way when I first came in. She also did a great job with the bustle and it stayed out of the way for dancing. I am SO happy I found my person in the area. BOOK WITH MARLIZ! You will be so pleased with yourself. Plus, she works from home and her space feels safe and cozy and clean. I prefer it over what I used to do, going into a busy place in San Francisco. Thank you for making my dreams come true for the big day Marliz! read more
