    Had a dress taken in, competitive prices, meticulous and high quality work. Wish I knew about this place sooner!

    Very pleasant, efficient and fairly priced. The other seamstress/tailors in town charge way too much

    Friendly and very reasonably priced repairs in a short time. I wish I had more garments to bring in.

    I have a pillow that needs a new zipper, a dog bed that needs stitching and an apron that needs a small repair. Is that something you can do?

    Mari's Alterations

    East Oakland

    I found Mari's Alterations through Yelp because of the many positive reviews. Unfortunately, my…read moreexperience was not positive so that was when I started looking into the 1 and 2 star reviews on Yelp and Google. They're all saying the same thing about Maria being disorganized and unreliable, which was exactly my experience. And based on reading the negative feedback, I noticed this lady tends to deflect blame. Never her fault. Always something else. I brought in two pairs of jeans for hemming and a wool coat that needed a lining added. Price was affordable. She gave me a week timeline to pick up. I originally planned to pick everything up on Saturday, but I called the next day (Sunday) and asked if I could pick up a day early on Friday instead. She said yes. Thursday came and I called them just to remind them as I've had experiences elsewhere in the past where things got forgotten and I didn't want to make a 25 min drive and finding out my stuff isn't ready. Lo and behold, when I called to remind her I'll be picking up the following day, she said Saturday so I reminded her I called her last Sunday to change to friday. She said okay, she's not busy so she can work on it. I showed up Friday at around 11. My stuff wasn't done. Her employees were working on it. At first she mentioned pick up was supposed to be Saturday. I repeated I've made phone calls prior to change to Friday and she said yes. Then she said I came too early. Say what? We never confirmed on a pickup time. Then she asked me to wait additional 40 minutes. And she argued with me, giving me an attitude. I let her know she was unprofessional and disorganized and this was before I read all the negative reviews. It frustrated me because she had the whole week to work on them and she didn't. Will not be taking my business here again. I do not recommend her business.

    Quick quality work and a fair price…read more Nothing more to say but Yelp requires more characters.

    Overall, I had a great experience working with Nazila for my wedding dress alterations. She was…read morealways friendly, responsive, and made sure every alteration I requested was completed exactly as I wanted. My dress fit beautifully on my wedding day. The pricing did feel a bit high at times, but since this was my first time having a wedding dress altered, I don't have much to compare it to. Regardless, the quality of the work was excellent. After taking my dress home, I noticed one small area that could have benefited from a slight adjustment. When I reached out, Nazila responded quickly and gave me helpful recommendations on where to place fashion tape, which worked well. I do wish we had caught that during one of my fittings, but I also hadn't noticed it until trying the dress on again at home. I also purchased a custom veil from her, and it was absolutely perfect. The color matched my dress 100%, which can be so difficult to find. I really appreciated that attention to detail. If you're looking for someone who is skilled, communicative, and genuinely cares about making sure you feel your best on your wedding day, I would definitely recommend Nazila.

    Nazila came to my rescue after having a bridal breakdown from a situation with a previous tailor. I…read morecame to her ONE month before my destination wedding, and from the initial phone call alone she made me feel at ease and in good hands. My dress not only needed lots of work done but the fabric was custom liquid organza which is extremely slick and slippery, but she handled it with such skill & care. She was able to squeeze me in her already packed schedule, and within one week of work she already made incredible progress! I was so impressed with her attention to detail, professionalism, and efficiency. On top of all that, she was so easy to work with and so so kind :) I knew I would incur rush fees with the timeframe I was in, but I found her overall pricing to be very reasonable. I'm beyond happy with how my dress turned out! With Nazila's exceptional skills, I had my dream wedding dress and in just one month! If you're looking to get a wedding dress, formal wear, high end gowns, etc tailored, I 10/10 recommend Nazila!
