    Pronovias Mildred gown
    Kathy P.

    I purchased an off the rack sample gown and had seen Yvette listed for alterations by a local bridal consignment store. I drove 40-50 min each way for my fittings, even with closer seamstresses available, because of the reviews I'd read about Yvette. I only needed to hem the bottom, but my gown was a nightmare to shorten, with multiple layers underneath and on top, particularly the horsehair tulle that caused her to have to pull up from the top at the seam rather than shorten from the bottom. It was a LOT of work and the price was more than reasonable. Her work never compromised the look and effect of the dress, which was quite a feat when you have to lose 5 1/2 inches of skirt! I highly recommend Yvette - you can certainly trust her with the most delicate and complicated work.

    Yvette is our lifesaver! Not only did she come to our rescue when my daughter couldn't find anyone to steam her wedding dress, she did superbly professional work at a very reasonable price. She also included her veil. We are beyond grateful. Thank you Yvette!!

And l am offering to share what I am very passionate about and very good at with my customers. My services brings to my potential customers a unique remote service whereby I can visit or meet with them at a given location anywhere in the Montgomery or DC locations. Nevertheless I do not turn away customers who are willing to bring their clothing from beyond the set locations. Rush services are welcome and can be done while you wait depending on the extent of work that needs to be done to complete the your request. Prices are estimated only upon presentation of the garments and cannot be done based on description as prices may vary due to the type of fabric, damages, and the extent of the alterations requirements. Depending on travel distances garments may also be mailed along with photos of damages (optional) with repair or alteration instructions and with return label. I do have customers that mail their clothing to be altered and there have been no complaints in that process. The customers are also satisfied with the work I did for them in that regard. I do appreciate feedback from services rendered as it helps me to improve where I may have fallen short, and also to be thankful when I did well. I do appreciate your patronage and referrals, and look forward to serving you at your request. Jenipher

    I am shocked by how well Marya altered my dress! My dress was altered so well that it fit me like a…read moreglove and I couldn't believe how amazing it was! My dress had lots of beading on it, and she was able to easily alter it without damage to the dress and kept it looking good. Marya also gave me a very good price that I would not be able to find anywhere else. I really recommend Marya's alterations because of her ability to alter and talent when it comes to alterations. Overall, i was very pleased with the quality of my dress and her service.

    I had Marya take in my dress at the waist/hip area and add a bustle, and she did a terrible job! If…read moreit weren't for the other tailor who was able to salvage my dress at the last minute, Marya would've ruined my $3k+ dress! First, after she took in the dress at the hips, a bulge in the fabric formed at my butt. According to another tailor, the bulge formed because Marya didn't alter the dress correctly, not because the dress didn't fit me correctly. It cost me $300 to get rid of the bulge, and finding a tailor to do this last-minute work was so stressful! The hip alterations also caused the buttons to come down my back and hips at a diagonal because Marya only took in the dress at one side, causing an asymmetry. Because she could only finish the hip alterations a week before the wedding, I had to remove all 12 dress buttons to fix the asymmetry. The other tailor would've had to completely reverse her alterations to properly fix the problem, which would've taken weeks. Second, she only took in the top layer of the dress, without taking in the under layers. This caused the larger under layers to bunch up or fold underneath the tighter top layer. It looked like streaks going down the back of my dress! Third, the first time my maid of honor tried to bustle my dress, one of the bustle buttons fell off! I had to rush to sew the button back on, which was extremely stressful because I don't even know how to sew! Lastly, she damaged the beading on the neckline of my dress. Multiple beads on one side of the neckline had fallen off when I got the dress back, creating a noticeable hole. Overall, Marya's poor alterations caused me so much stress a week before my wedding. I highly recommend that anyone with an expensive dress go elsewhere, because according to the tailor who was able to salvage my dress, Marya didn't have the skill or experience to correctly alter my dress!! Edit: - My dress is second-hand, but you can see that the neckline is not damaged in the photo Marya took at my first appointment with her. - Because I did not have a final fitting, I knew there was a chance the dress would be too tight. If the dress simply didn't fit me, I would not be writing this negative review. I'm writing this review because she damaged the neckline of my dress and did not alter my dress correctly, causing issues that could not be properly fixed within a week before my wedding (this was the earliest she could return my dress to me). It seems like she took shortcuts to save time when altering my dress, such as only taking it in on one side and not taking in the under layers of the dress. The only way the dress could be fixed within a week before my wedding was by shortening the zipper, making it extremely difficult to get into the dress, and removing most of the buttons. - I have no reason to lie in this review. Marya won't even give me a partial refund for her services, and I don't have time to go to small claims court. At this point, I just want to help out future brides by writing this honest review. - Marya is trying to get my honest review taken down on other sites, so there might be other negative reviews that she has suppressed.
