Bridal alteration
Abigail L.

Kiku did a phenomenal job on my wedding dress! The length and bustle was perfect and she didn't jeopardize any of the lacing in the process. It turned out exactly as I had hoped for. She communicated well and stayed on schedule which was highly appreciated!

Mrs. Chang has been sewing over two generations for families in Bellaire and greater Houston.

Mrs. Chang and her sewing, alterations, and tailoring team are so friendly, affordable, and rejuvenate clothing, outfits and wardrobes.

I decided to give this place a try after reading some reviews, and I am very happy! I got a dress altered, and it seemed difficult and expensive to do (lined, zipper 3/4 down the back with a collar that has a button with loop) I thought the price was good for the amount of work, and it was cheaper than the other place I was going. Oh and she was very friendly! 5 stars all around

Needed my daughter's pageant  dress altered and they did a fantastic job.  Very pleased

Needed my daughter's pageant dress altered and they did a fantastic job. Very pleased

I got my wedding dress altered here, it wasn't an easy dress either, it had multiple layers and different fabrics. Got my dress back within 3 weeks and it looked great. Kiku did an incredible job, her prices were unbeatable. I highly recommend her.

I love it! Thank you!

She could've easily taken my money but her suggestion was to not have my dress altered as it fit well.

Highland Village, Galleria/Uptown

I'm not sure if this is their new location or they've always had this spot, but I know they were…read morelocated by the ice rink in the Galleria, but have since closed that location about the time of covid. I have to say I like this location much better because of the ease to get to it. Marcello's has always been my go to place. Recently when I couldn't locate them I brought my items to a different alteration shop which I ended up bringing my close here for them to repair what the other alteration store didn't do properly. I look forward to the ease and quality work for any of my other items that need addressing by Marcellos.

I've been coming to Marcello's since the father ran it, and have loved that his with the daughters…read morechose to carry on his legacy. The reputation he built -- quality, speed, and a family touch -- is a Houston story. Over the past several months, I've become a much more frequent client, and a pattern has emerged. One sister is genuinely warm, attentive, and makes you feel like your business matters. The other is a consistent source of frustration. Too many visits have started with visible irritation on her end, required me to redirect her attention to alteration needs that should have been obvious, and ended in results that reflected the disconnect. She is doesn't seem to love/like the craft or even the business-- and that shows up in how she engages with clients. There have been moments I've walked out so taken aback that I called a friend just to confirm I wasn't imagining it. I wasn't -- this appears to be a pattern others have experienced too. It's also evident in many online reviews. I share this because I want this business to do well long term. Their father built something special, and the foundation is still there. But one person's attitude is a real risk to the reputation he worked so hard to build. I hope she finds her way back to loving this work -- the business and its clients deserve that.
