If you have an important event coming up, I highly recommend Patricia. I was introduced to her work through a friend and loved how she wasn't just altering your dress, she was also ensuring it looked it's absolute best for you. I watched her add a piece of lace to complete a dress or remove something that didn't jive with a dress. Her dedication to her work made me comfortable to choose her for my own wedding day... and for every single member in my family! She also has amazing jewelry to complete your look! read more

I had a wonderful experience here! Patricia did a fabulous job fitting my wedding dress!! It took essentially one session to get all of the details figured out-- I came in once more for a re-fitting and for her to cut my raw hem, but the dress fit like a glove after that first round of alterations. I also very much appreciated her showing my mom and I how to bustle the dress. That saved us some time and stress on my wedding day for sure. Would recommend :) read more

Patricia made my wedding dress fit beautifully! She is very skilled and the whole process was easy. She steamed my dress and held it until wedding week. Hope at the front desk was so helpful, too, and made me an ornament out of my wedding dress scraps! read more

Such an unbelievably professional team of women who work SO hard to make everyone's special day, well, special. I had a wonderful experience here. They truly know what they are doing when it comes to wedding dresses, I didn't have to say a thing! They just went right to work. So they could do your prom or bridesmaid dress with their eyes closed! read more

My wedding dress arrived 2 1/2 weeks before my wedding. The gown was incredibly big on me. I was panicked it would not be done in time nor look like my dream wedding gown. Patricia and Lydia went above and beyond to reconstruct my dress in less than a week. 4 days before my wedding, I did my final fitting where my gown not only looked like my dream wedding gown but exceeded my expectations. The ladies were beyond professional and were a wonderful support system in my wedding planning. I will recommend them for anyone looking for professional, top notch dress alterations! Patricia you are the real MVP Amanda Leonetti read more

Excellent and friendly service. Prices are fair and the alterations on my daughters wedding gown were very well done and everyone there was really friendly. Highly recommend!! read more

If I could give this company zero stars, I would. Worst experience ever received. Please do not give this business any more money. They are extremely rude, completely disrespectful and an absolute scam (fyi they will curse you out). They promise you service and have you pay $500 up front and then they argue with you and refuse to provide the service you paid for. Please do not trust the "good" reviews they have. It is all fabricated. read more

I don't understand why this business doesn't have more reviews and one negative review. I brought my wedding dress here to altered after calling around for different seamstresses. Funny thing is in calling one other alteration boutique they actually referred me to Patricia. That made me think that she is respected in this field since her fellow competitors were even sending clients to her. I bought my wedding dress a year in advance and by the time i came to Patricia my size 10 wedding dress had to be altered into a size 4 wedding dress. The whole chest area had to be reconstructed completely and that made me super nervous. My dress had these beautiful sleeves and they had to be cut as well and I just could not envision how she would manage to do this without the sleeves remaining the most beautiful part of my dress that I feel in love with. I had several fittings with Patricia and every time she continued to take it in more, so that the dress would look like it was made for me. At my last fitting my dress was perfect. I can't wait to wear it this Saturday I know it is wonderfully constructed. Oh and btw I was against having a bustle I just didn't think it was possible to have my type of dress bustled but when I told this to Patricia she replied by saying "you don't like bustles because you haven't seen MY bustle" lol. The bustle was included in my price so I decided to go with it. Something else Im glad I did. It's beautifully bustled but Im STILL not a fan of the bustle on MY dress but I like that I have the option since she constructed it with the option of the train just laying as is or it being easily buttoned up for dancing if need be. The alteration was a bit expensive but it was well worth it. You get what you pay for and I'm happy with it. The other great thing she also did was she atered my MOH (sister) dress at the very last minute upon request. My sisters dress was cute but it just didn't show off her cute little body so we asked Patricia to defrump it . When we returned Patricia turned the dress into a cute little trendy Audrey Hepburn dress. The style I exactly was going for. I think my sister is going to get more attention than me.lol The last awsome thing she did for me was she neatly packed my dress in my carry on dress for pick up since I was having a destination wedding. BONUS I wouldn't hesitate one bit to get future alterations done here. Dora and Patricia work very close together and they actually consult with each other in front of clients about what to do with the dress. You won't disappointed with either of them working on your clothing. I'm glad I was given her name and number because my wedding is the one day i want to look my best and thanks to these ladies I know will. read more

Great place for all alterations especially your important formal events. Wedding dresses, proms, bar & bat mitzvahs. I had my Sherri Hill dress altered so I could bustle it for my son's bar mitzvah so I could dance. Great job. My son had his suit altered there as well. read more

Patricia does a wonderful job! Attentive to all your needs and gets the job done in a quick and professional way. Will return for future business read more

If I could've gave zero stars I would very bad attitudes from the start she ruined my dress right before my wedding and she was more mad than me and did not want to operate with me over expensive for horrible work paid upfront Ruined my dress didn't get any money back or trie to reFix it she told me to get out from her mistakes read more

My sister brought her dress here to be altered for her wedding, so naturally I brought my bridesmaid's dress as well for alterations. PATRICIA IS A GODDESS. Her work is literally flawless. My sister had to have 6 inches taken in from the sides of her dress and you wouldn't think she had any work done to the dress at all by looking at it now. The dress fits like a glove. My dress is also perfect, I only needed a hem and the straps shortened. The dress fits amazing. I just went to pick it up and her daughter Michelle was there and Michelle is just the sweetest thing, they were such a joy to try our dresses on with. I will definitely be coming here for alterations again. read more

Patricia did an incredible job altering my wedding dress! I went back 3 times leading up to my wedding day, and she made sure I was happy with my dress until the very last moment. She also altered my mom's Mother-of-the-Bride dress, which needed some work along the hem. Patricia suggested altering the dress on the bottom in such a way that would help my mom look taller than she is (she's a tiny 5 ft 1 in). Both of our dresses came out perfect! Thank you, Patricia!!! read more

See all

I cannot thank Patricia enough for her help, attention to detail, and passion for my wedding dress! We had a short turn around time frame due to family circumstances and I was still able to have multiple fittings to make sure my dress was perfect - which it was! It fit like it was made for me and the changes Patricia made were impeccable. She is worth every penny and then some. She not only worked on my dress, but also my MOH, Mother of the Bride, and Mother of the groom dresses. Everyone was beyond happy with her work. She has true a love for her job and it shows in all of her work and the way she makes you feel when you are there. Have her make your dress dreams come true, you won't regret it. read more

If I could give this lady -5 stars I would. I've never in my entire life been so offended, humiliated and disgusted. Extremely unprofessional! Going into the alteration she knew I was pregnant and still had about two weeks left before my wedding. I overpaid for the alterations that were done half-ass and when I asked her to fix what I didn't like her remark was "it's not the dress, your belly is too big" repeatedly. She then proceeded to say "didn't your mother tell you not to get pregnant before a wedding"... in front of my mother!!! And finally her last remark to me was "when I was pregnant my doctor told me that I had to lose weight", insisting I should probably do the same (mind you in 147lbs and 20 weeks pregnant now). It came to a point where I felt mortified and ugly and I didn't even wanna be seen in my own wedding dress that I was in love with before meeting this lady. I also asked her to used a piece of my moms wedding dress and sew a heart of her dress on the inside of my dress, well needless to say it looked like a paper snowflake done by a 4 year old that was sewn into my dress. I will never forget this horrible experience, sadly it will be remembered with my old wedding dress, since I have gotten a whole new one because of this experience. read more

I brought my gown in for alterations. Patricia cancelled my pick up dates twice. I didn't think anything of it. When I finally picked it up and brought it home I noticed black oil stains. Also a round pinkish stain. It looked smudged, as if someone tried cleaning it. I called and Patricia said she would not help me. It's now weeks before the wedding and there's nothing I can do. DO NOT TAKE A CHANCE!!!!! read more

My daughter purchased her wedding gown at the Bridal Garden in Marlton. As she works in New York, she was not able to go back to the Bridal Garden on week days for alterations. They suggested we go to Patricia at Michelle's Manelli, as she has Saturday hours and is just across the highway from the Bridal Garden and also does their alterations. Patricia and Diane are so warm and friendly and nice. It was a wonderful experience. Patricia did such a beautiful job. The gown looked beautiful. It fit so perfectly. My daughter also had her alter her rehearsal dinner dress and purchased her earrings for the wedding there. They have lovely clothes and jewelry too. We would highly recommend Patricia and Michelle's Manelli. read more

Patricia is the absolute best at what she does! She altered my intricate wedding gown and my rehearsal dinner dress. She even altered my suit jacket in one day so I could look the part for an interview. It is worth it to spend a few more dollars to know that the job will be done right & the clothes will fit you perfectly. read more

There are quite simply not enough words to thank Patricia for spending my wedding day with me and helping to make it the most perfect day ever. Patricia got to my house first thing in the morning, helped dress my sisters, dress my mom and grandmother, dress me, fix my train and sleeves, fed me granola bars and cups of water with a straw. She followed me to church, carried my train up the steps at church, and fixed my dress in the back of church for me to walk down the aisle. She positioned my dress and veil for my pictures, and carried my dress for me as I walked around for pictures. She was also a hit on the trolley with my bridal party; just a testament to her loving and fun personality! She came to the reception with me, iced my feet, got the dirt off of my dress, and literally hemmed it by hand on her hands and knees since the fabric stretched throughout the day. She also bustled my gown and fixed it since my dress got longer. I am sure I'm missing a million things that Patricia did for me on my wedding day but having her by my side all day was truly a blessing and I've told every bride since my day that they need Patricia on their wedding day. Not to mention, I just took her all of my honeymoon clothes to alter for my trip! Patricia is amazing at everything she does. I cannot thank her enough! read more

I purchased my wedding gown at Bridal Garden and got alterations done by Patricia. Every time I came for an appointment barely anything was completed. I figured since not much was needed, it would be finished in time. The Thursday before my wedding my mom and I went to pick up the dress. It was a complete wrinkled mess and the hem looked odd. My mom insisted I try on the dress because it just didn't look right. THANK GOODNESS I did. The whole thing was a mess. She never even worked on it!! She screwed it up and then left it. We were told to go over to this store to have her fix it. When Patricia got snippy with my mom and I and LAUGHED at me because I was upset she didn't actually fix anything, I lost it. I refused to leave the store and demanded the dress be fixed. It took over 8 hours being there for the dress to be fixed and Patricia didn't even fix it. The kind woman in the back did all the sewing and fixed my dress until it was perfect. So yes, the work was good but not until I demanded it be done and causing me so much stress 2 days before my wedding. I would never ever ever go back here and I tell all of my friends getting married to not use her from Bridal Garden. I've allowed myself to cool off for months before writing this review too! read more

I went in to michelle manelli's to have my MOB dress altered. I had bought it from Panena's in Marlton NJ and actually had an apt with their seamstress for my alterations, but after sitting and waiting 45 minutes for the seamstress to arrive, she never did. One of the managers of Panena's called Michelle Manelli's to squeeze me in since I had traveled quite a distance for my appt. Although grateful that they were willing to fit (no pun intended) me in last minute, I found the atmosphere of the store cold and unfriendly. After a quick assessment and some pins and tucks we proceeded to talk about when my dress would be completed and when I could pick it up. That's when she told me my total was $270!!!!!! Yikes!!!!! I'm pretty sure I almost past out at the counter. $270 was more than half the price of my dress. Considering it was for a hem and shoulder adjustment, this seemed like highway robbery so I decided I would not leave my dress but rather find a different seamstress. read more
