I first met Maria in 2021, when David's Bridal highly recommended her to alter a bridesmaid dress for my sister-in-law's wedding. Her work was impeccable, and since then, she has altered several formal dresses and gowns for me. Maria produces beautiful, high-quality work and has an incredible eye for detail. She doesn't simply make a dress fit, she has the vision and skill to make it look as though it was designed specifically for you. The most meaningful dress Maria worked on was my wedding gown. After losing a significant amount of weight due to illness and surgery, my gown needed extensive alterations. Maria completely transformed it and made it my own. It fit me like a glove, looked absolutely beautiful, and made me feel fantastic on my wedding day. After working so closely with Maria for the past five years, I already miss seeing her! I sincerely hope another special occasion gives me an excuse to bring her another gown. I would trust no one else with something so important. Maria is exceptionally talented, and I cannot recommend Simply Maria highly enough! read more

If I could rate Maria more than 5 stars, I would! She was so attentive, patient and knowledgeable. My wedding dress arrived completely ruined and almost un fixable, but Maria found a way to fix it and make it look incredible. Her pricing is fair and she's very fast! I can't wait to use Maria again in the future read more

Maria did a fantastic job altering my Mother of the Bride dress!

The alterations were flawless, the beadwork remained beautiful, and the dress fit me perfectly. I was absolutely thrilled with how it turned out and felt so confident wearing it.

I cannot recommend Maria enough for bridal alterations! From the moment I walked into her shop, she was warm, welcoming, and incredibly attentive. My dress was initially too big, and with its corset, material, and lace details around the waist, I was so worried that altering it would change the look I fell in love with. But Maria worked absolute magic! She listened to every one of my thoughts, paid attention to the smallest details, and made me feel completely at ease throughout the entire process. She somehow perfected the alterations while keeping the original design looking untouched. Maria is not only talented, but also patient, thoughtful, and so accommodating.

Maria was judgmental and frankly rude. The service we requested was beyond her scope and she said there would be NO WAY she could do this job and no one else could either. She told my daughter she was TOO BIG and the dress was Too SMALL!!!We immediately went to another tailor and they were loving, kind and made the dress fit. TBNT read more

Simply Maria - Beautiful alterations that fit my body perfectly!!!! Thank you so much - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Murrieta, California

great and quick service. very friendly and had a quick turnaround time for my daughters prom dress.

Maria was very responsive and accommodated to my quick turnaround time. She helped alter the sleeves because I needed them tighter and added breast padding to give my dress more shape. Last part was much needed because wearing a bra would have looked too obvious on this dress. She did an amazing job and she was so kind! I definitely recommend her if you need wedding dress alterations. read more

I purchased my dream Allure Bridal wedding gown off of the rack May of 2024 at a store about an hour and a half away from my home . When I bought it I knew it was a bit too big and would need to be tailored. However like every other bride out there I was still working on looking my best for my big day (December 2024) and was not ready to commit to tailoring the dress at the store I bought it right away. In November I finally reached my goal of losing 20 lbs and found Simply Maria here on yelp. After seeing her amazing reviews I crossed my fingers and asked her for availability, to my happy shock she could fit me in! Maria took my 3 sizes too big off the rack beaded dream wedding gown and SNATCHED it to look like it was molded to my body , added cups into my dress so I did not have to worry about those weird sticky things they try to sell you on social media and added the bustle for my long train . She did all of this in under a month. She is literally a magical bridal fairy godmother with a sewing machine ! I would recommend her to any and everyone that needed a bridal gown tailored. Not only did she snatch up my gown , she also made sure the 3,000 layers of tulle on my train were steamed and pressed to perfection. Thank you so much again Maria. You are the best. read more

Maria is truly amazing! She is so nice, clear, professional, communicative, fast, and talented! She was able to adjust a sample-size wedding dress I bought to fit me perfectly. This dress was literally twice my size and had a ton of delicate detailing exactly where alterations were necessary and she did a perfect job with it. In making my initial appointment she was able to give me estimate pricing and a timeline for the alterations and by the first fitting had pinned everything to perfection. I appreciated that she waited to do any major alterations until she was completely sure it would fit me perfectly, and it did! Going into this process I was hesitant to relinquish my dress to anyone but after talking to Maria once I would trust her with anything. Cannot recommend her enough! Thank you Maria!! :) read more

OMG where do I start.... I found it so hard to find a plus size wedding dress that I liked in stores. I did some online shopping and fell in love with this dress. so I purchased this one online off eBay. When it arrived, it had lace in places it didn't belong, and worst of all, my arm flaps did not fit !!! I thought I would need to get rid of the lace sleeves and/or get a whole new dress. MARIA WORKED WONDERS. Some how she used her magic so that my arms could fit, and did other alterations as well. Loved my finished look! She also fixed my vail, which arrived torn. read more

Maria to the rescue! After two years, the wedding finally took place! All's well that ends well, but without Maria working her magic on my daughter's ball-gown type wedding dress, the elegance would have been less striking. Due to Covid, the wedding was postponed twice, and the dress languished compressed in a dress bag for two years. We dropped the dress off to Maria a day and a half before the wedding with her assurances to my daughter that it would once again be fluffy and full. Maria did a fantastic job! Such a professional! The dress was steamed and returned to the wedding dress of dreams. So glad we found Maria. I felt we could trust her from the beginning, and I was right. We are grateful to have found her. Thank you, Maria! Thank you! read more
