    Frock coat I ordered online

    I had a lot of disappointments when it came to alterations before I met Cathy. I was tempted not to write this review because I wanted to keep her to myself. Not only has she altered several clergy items to my specifications, but she also understands men's tailoring when it comes to alterations. As long as she is open for business I will never go to anyone else. Her pricies are fair and her turnaround is reasonable.

    Cathy did my wedding dress and three of my bridesmaids dresses and they all came out absolutely perfect! She was very knowledgeable and finished all the dresses in a timely manner. She is my go to lady for alterations now!

    I have had her replace a broken zipper in a leather skirt, hem many pairs of lined pants and shorten sleeves on two jackets.

    I cannot recommend Ariana Sewing Shop highly enough…read more I purchased what was essentially a ready-to-wear floor sample that was nearly two sizes too big, but he transformed it into what truly felt like a custom couture gown. From our very first appointment, he listened carefully to my vision and immediately understood exactly what I was hoping to achieve. He completely reimagined the dress by reshaping the neckline, removing the cap sleeves, and tailoring every detail until it fit me perfectly. It was a significant alteration project that required multiple appointments, yet he never once inflated the price or surprised me with additional charges. His honesty, professionalism, and attention to detail were remarkable. On my wedding day, I felt absolutely incredible. The dress looked and fit better than I ever imagined, and so much of that was because of his talent. He didn't just alter a gown. He helped create the dress I had envisioned from the beginning. If you're looking for someone who is exceptionally skilled, patient, fair, and genuinely invested in bringing your vision to life, I wouldn't hesitate to trust him with the most important dress you'll ever wear. Thank you for helping make my wedding day so special.

    I ordered my wedding dress online, and it arrived only a week before my wedding day. Unfortunately,…read morethe dress was much too long and needed significant alterations. With just days to go before the wedding, I was incredibly stressed and worried I wouldn't be able to get everything done in time. Thankfully, Mo came to the rescue. He was able to take my dress in right away, listened carefully to all of my concerns, and understood exactly what I wanted changed. Despite the tight timeline, he completed the alterations quickly and with great attention to detail. I just tried on my dress, and it's exactly how I envisioned it. The fit is beautiful, and I couldn't be happier with the results. I highly recommend Mo for any alterations, especially if you're working under a tight deadline. Thank you, Mo, for your expertise, kindness, and for saving my wedding dress!
