    Ivy is awesome! You have to call her. She works out of a shop in her basement. She altered a bridesmaid dress for me in a pinch.

    You couldn't pay me to go back. Customer service was poor and the work was less than acceptable…read more I took in 3 dresses to be hemmed, one pair of pants, and 3 halter tops to have the ties sewn behind the neck. I had not previously used any other tailor, so I had no comparison for prices at the time of my visit. They don't post prices for hemming, because you pay more for multiple layers and less for single layers, which is how the female proprietor explained it. The Glen Burnie and Pasadena areas are lower socioeconomic areas and their prices seemed high, so I only had them hem one of the dresses, the pants, and three halter tops, because the woman tried to charge me the same amount for a single layer hem as the double layer, when the double had a full skirt and the single was narrow. While I was changing, another lady came in with several dresses and was quoted very different prices, I assume because she was dressed more casually and I was dressed professionally. She quoted $6 for each halter top to sew a one inch area together. When I picked them up and tried the dress on, it was acceptable, but the pants were significantly shorter in the back than the front. The neck straps on the halter tops were sewn opposite with right sides to wrong sides and flipped the top to the bottom of the straps, causing them to twist. Her husband does the sewing in the back. So, I called on the phone to calmly discuss the discrepancy with the woman, and she yelled at me and called me a liar. I told her that I would bring them back in, but she needed to make it right. When I got there, she was still angry and fuming, so her husband came out, took them back and fixed them. There was never an apology, and the wife's behavior was unprofessional, unkind, insulting, and I will never return there again. I have since had an opportunity to try several other tailors in the area and have found Marley Tailoring to be the most expensive. I don't know how they stay in business. At the time of my visit, they only accepted cash, no credit cards.

    Many others have given them lower ratings for cost ect. I can only say that the service I receive…read moreis outstanding, the timeline for turn around is faster than most, and I would trust no one else with my uniforms or other tailoring needs...I actually, and I mean this, would rather pay more to ensure my shirts and pants are done right the first time than pay less and have to go back a couple times for rework or missing buttons ect... My time is worth the extra couple of bucks. Just my two cents...I'm actually on my way there today. If you need some right and by a local business then this is the place.

    I was having major dress regret, which is why I came to Juliya's Customs to get it altered. Natalia…read moremade me feel so beautiful and cared for! Just after pinning it up, she made me feel so much more confident in my dress and myself! She was able to tuck in the waist, hem the dress, fitted my cap sleeves, added a deep V and added a bustle. She was able to do all this for a great price and in such a short amount of time. She was a 35 min drive from my place, but she is 110% worth the drive!!

    Overall very uncomfortable experience and I will never go back. I told my bridal shop to stop…read morerecommending her as a seamstress. I made this appointment almost a month ago and told her that my wedding is early June. She did not mention that this would not be enough time to alter my dress when I initially booked the appointment over the phone. She didn't ask any follow-up questions and just booked me. Fast forward to today, I go in and arrive 15 minutes early to be courteous and punctual. I awkwardly stand there for 5 minutes without any acknowledgment, and then a women (I'm assuming is her) comes over and takes my dress. When she is going to hang it up, I asked her if it was okay that I brought a second dress (my rehearsal dinner dress) but before I could even finish she harshly cuts me off and told me "you need sit down, I have another client". I was very taken aback but how rude she was and it honestly caught me off guard. It was so bad I almost debated just taking my dress back and leaving but because I had waited a month for this appointment and my wedding was in a month, I figured I might as well see it through. Huge mistake. I change into my dress and describe to her the alternations I was looking for, which is to shorten it a little and also remove the breast cups. I did not think it was a significant amount of alternations but she seemed to think so. She then proceeded to tell me that she "may" be able to do it, but then looked at her calendar and said that she couldn't guarantee it. I honestly was so confused because she knew my wedding date when she booked this consultation appointment. If it wasn't something that could be done I feel she should've just told me up front rather than let me wait until the appointment. At that point I didn't even put up a fight as in the back of my mind, I knew I wouldn't have been comfortable with her altering my dresses anyways. She gave off the impression that if anything needed tweaking or wasn't to your satisfaction you would be SOL. All in all, a huge waste of my time. It would've been less of a bad experience if she wasn't so rude upfront. I'm starting to think her 5-star google reviews are faked, as at least on Yelp there are a few honest reviews that mention her bad attitude to her clients so it seems to be a common theme. I have no doubt she would've done a good job at the alternations, but that trust was gone.

    I was struggling finding somewhere local to do my bridal alterations and I stumbled upon an…read moreadvertisement for this place at a local diner, of all places! I looked them up and they had great reviews, so I decided to go for it. I made an appointment and tried on my dress. We decided that I needed the dress brought in a bit at the waist but the rest of the dress was perfect. When I came back a week before my wedding for a final fitting, the dress fit perfectly and looked stunning. It made a huge difference! It was much more flattering. There was lace overlay, but you couldn't even tell the dress had ever been altered. The whole process was super easy, fast, and well-priced. We also decided to get my partner's suit rental through Sew More Couture. It was a great deal- you get measured and order the suit, Sew More Couture will do the alterations as needed for free, and then you drop off a day or two after your wedding. My partner's pocket square came in in the wrong color, but they managed to get one delivered the day before the wedding in the correct color for us. The jacket alterations they did also looked fantastic on him. Overall, we were really happy with Sew More Couture and would definitely recommended for weddings, or any other alterations needed! We will be back, I am sure!
