If you are looking for a designer who is as brilliant as she is kind, look no further than Sarah!…read moreWorking with her for my wedding celebrations was an absolute blast. From our first meeting, she was incredibly responsive and so flexible with every little change and "what if" I threw her way. She managed to pull off the ultimate fashion magic trick: designing my dream gown for our ceremony in Italy, then totally transforming it with clever add-ons for our San Francisco wedding. What touched me most was how she beautifully incorporated heirloom pieces from both my mom's and grandmother's dresses. It made the whole experience feel so personal and full of love! As a professional opera singer, I'm used to being in costume fittings, and I can honestly say Sarah is a total pro! She understands movement, drama, and detail like no one else. Sarah is my go-to for all dress needs, whether it's for the stage or another big event. She's simply the best!

Sarah is a real-life fairy godmother. I am so grateful that a friend referred me to her. I wanted…read moreto wear my grandmother's wedding dress that she originally wore in 1958. My aunt and mother also wore the dress for their weddings in 1983 and 1991. I wanted to keep the design as close to the original as possible. I wasn't sure what was going to be possible but Sarah did an absolutely impeccable job. It was impossible to tell that it had been altered and I felt like a princess. It meant so much to me to get to wear it.

If I could give Maria NEGATIVE stars I would! She RUINED my daughters prom dress hem…read more First of all her studio is disgusting and dirty but her name was on a recommendation list and we trusted her. All we needed was a simple hem on a multi layered tulle skirt. I have a background in clothing design and marketing so I could have done it myself but didn't have the time. She not only sewed the hem CROOKED and made it too short in areas but she left a train on the back of the dress despite me specifically telling her we want a straight hem all the way around with NO train. When we went to pick it up she told us it would be $500 CASH!! I was shocked. Shame on me for not asking the hem price in advance but I assumed I knew the average alteration prices because of my background. Here's where it gets interesting. I knew I was screwed and had to pay the $500 because the prom was in 3 days but I wanted her to fix the hem. We were desperate! She gets on the floor and starts willy bully pinning the hem to fix it and is moaning and groaning and mumbling...then she proceeded to start taking the pins out. When I asked her what she's doing she said she didn't want to work on the dress anymore because it was killing her! I said she shouldn't have accepted the job if it was too much work for her (4 layers of fabric). She told us to leave and take the dress. If you are wondering, yes, I did NOT pay her a dime. At that point I had a $600 valued dress that had been ruined and I had to try to fix the hem within a few days. We drove right over to Kathryn's dress shop in McHenry (where we bought the dress) and every employee in there bent over backwards to fix the dress. We immediately saw the seamstress and came up with a compromise to fix the hem enough so that no one would notice and have my daughter wear flat shoes. They fixed the dress beautifully at a very fair alterations price and had it ready in 48 hours on the morning of prom! (Originally they could not alter the dress because they were booked so they gave us a referral list. They will no longer be referring to Maria!) NEVER use Maria's Alterations in McHenry and ALWAYS shop at Kathryn's in McHenry for your special occasion dresses!

Second we wait for a few minutes, and all we hear from the back is what sounded like a woman periodically coughing. We ring the "service bell". Clearly that's a prank bell because absolutely nothing happened. All we heard was coughing and silence. Didn't come to the front. Actual silence for 10 minutes interrupted by this overpaid, useless, dead weight coughing in the back. We still waited, even a few loud "Hello?'s" We just left because we have things to do unlike these deadbeat "employees" if you can even call them that. We have yet to get our stuff.

We go back there to drop off my husband's suit to get cleaned and the petticoat is not ready and we gave them a couple extra days. My daughter had her fitting scheduled and she needed the petticoat for the final fitting. We had to cancel our appt because we didn't have everything that was needed due to this cleaner! Then they tell us it will be ready by the following Thursday. Nope! That never happened! My daughter had an appt again for her final fitting and we had to cancel again. We went in there to pick it up on said day and they tell us that it won't be ready until Saturday because they shipped it out. Are you kidding me?!? These people do not communicate at all. They have never called us to tell us that it's going to be late! We still do not have the petticoat and we have to cancel the last fitting once again. They have had my daughter's petticoat for over a month! I try to call and it's constantly busy! And of course they were prepaid for this service! We will never go back here! After reading all of these reviews, I should've known better. This place is horrible!!! Do not waste your time or money going there!

When I went in Wednesday at 1 pm to pick it up they could not find it. Came back at 430pm they found the suit pants and the shirt. Still missing the coat. While we were there the found the coat. Said it would be ready in 30 min. We came back a hour later still not finished. Waited till it was finished as I needed it the next day. The lady behind the counter was super helpful and stated she just started Monday as the other 3 people working were no longer there. The owner was called at 1pm regarding the issue, when we were there to get the suit the last time and still waited for her to finish it up she informed us the owner was going to be there in 5 min but of course he never showed!! What makes this worse is when I dropped off the suit it was prepay so I had already paid for the suit to be cleaned!!! No offer of any refund as we went to purchase another suit as no y knew where ours was!!
