Marya Wedding Gown Design and alteration  - Detachable strap

Marya Wedding Gown Design and alteration

(6 reviews)

I truly feel so lucky to have found Marya design. I bought a wedding dress, which was a simple…read moredesign but had a massive train, which I didn't feel particularly comfortable wearing for my relatively casual wedding that didn't have a ceremony. When I was buying the dress, I was told that it would be impossible to remove the train while maintaining the shape of the dress, so I had resigned myself to needing to add a bustle and would just wear it bustled the whole time. When I told Marya what I hoped for, she didn't blink an eye before saying she could remove the train and keep it even all the way around. When she showed me the dress to approve at my second appointment, I was truly speechless. It looked like it was designed that way and looked even better than I could have imagined. So already, she was a true wizard to me, but I ended up using her again to add a lining to another dress I bought for the courthouse, which I loved but had an inner bodysuit that was totally visible through the white fabric. She took out the bodysuit and added a lining so it was not only beautiful, but also way more comfortable to wear. She is an absolute magician, so professional and so incredibly talented. And reasonably priced for the highest quality. What more could you ask for?

Marya was great... she did hemming, bustling and made detachable straps (in the picture)... exactly…read morehow I wanted them, and I was very pleased with the outcome. she even accommodated my last minute change request and was very nice in general. She gave me her opinion when I wanted it, advised on how what imagine will look like when executed and never pressured me to decide. Her prices are good and I would recommend her for sure!!

I have been getting my clothes alternated front Nina's for years. I have never had to take anything…read moreback for adjustments.

TLDR: There are numerous reasons I've given such a low…read morerating, and why I would not go back. 1. Cost not reflective of quality or customer service (e.g. stitches ripping; dress hem should not have cost that much; dress should have been cleaned at that price point) 2. My needs/ expectations were not met (e.g. the stitches ripped and 1/2 of what I needed was not accomplished) 3. Lack of communication/ transparency (e.g. inability to communicate properly with the client) 4. Unfriendly environment/ hot space Here's the detailed review: I called beforehand to get an idea of what the price would be to alter a dress that needed to be hemmed and taken in slightly at the bust. I couldn't understand them well, as they barely speak English, but they wouldn't give me a price range over the phone. I asked if it would cost more than $50 - I just wanted something to go on. I thought they said it wouldn't go over $50. I get to the place, and it's a small, cramped, very hot space. The current owners (husband and wife) bought the store and kept the previous name, but no one there is the real Nina. In other words, the very old reviews are likely not reflective of the current staff or service. They had me put the dress on. Fortunately I had the foresight to bring the shoes I was going to wear with the dress. The marked the bottom of the dress for the hem. I practically had to force her to take me seriously that I wanted it taken in at the bust. With very little words exchanged (to me anyway - the husband and wife were communicating with each other the whole time, but I couldn't understand them at all, as they were speaking another language), and 0 reassurance that I was getting what I needed from this transaction, she wrote down on a piece of paper what the total cost was and tried to tell me. I misheard and thought she said $9.95. Nope, she said $95. To hem a dress 3" ($45) and take it in slightly at the bust ($35). I guess the rest was either an additional charge she didn't itemize, or something not properly communicated. I was FLOORED. She lowered it to $90 but was incapable of explaining why it was so expensive. She asked by when I needed it; the soonest she could get it to me was 2 weeks later. When I went to pick up the dress, she had me try it on. The dress was not cleaned (I specifically asked if they cleaned it), but hung in plastic that didn't cover the bottom of the dress. She zipped up the dress for me because with the bust alterations I couldn't zip it myself. Immediately the stitches at the bust started ripping and coming undone. She could hear them, but did not repair them. All of the stitches on one side of the bust ripped as I moved around in the store. By the time of the event, I was hiking the dress up every few minutes because it was sliding down - total waste of money! The hem looked fine, and the stitching was decent. Not worth the outrageous price, in my opinion. I paid with cash. I did not see an option to pay with credit card, and they did not vocalize it to me. When I didn't have all of the cash up front when I dropped it off (they wanted me to pay $95 and leave the dress with them!), I said I would bring the other half when I picked it up - during this time I imagine they would've mentioned I could pay with card, but they did not.
