    Pink Velvet Blazer

    i have been working with Mary for about 3 years. She is my go to outfit designer. this woman is a genius and has attention to detail and knowledge that only an experienced person would decades in the cloth making industry would notice and see. she is an artist who takes her craft very seriously. both of us have trouble because we always aim for perfection and are never satisfied, but that's what makes her product so great! Here is a picture of a blazer she made for me.

    Mary Jill is incredibly talented and is an absolute pleasure to work with! I will be returning to her for future alterations, without question, and will definitely recommend her to my friends and family. She put so much care into taking in and shortening my dress and was very attentive to detail, particularly with the complexity that the sequins of my dress added to the alteration process. Even with the long train, she fixed the lining of the dress so that I didn't trip over it at all, even when dancing! She had my dress ready within 9 days, which was an excellent turnaround time. She very obviously wants her customers to look and feel their best, and I can say that she played a huge part in giving me the most beautiful dress that I've ever worn to date. She was kind enough to impart some tricks of the theatre costume trade and even gave me some varnish to take home to smooth out the glitter on my shoes. She went above and beyond in every way! Thank you, again, Mary Jill!!

    Needed a bridesmaid dress with different lengths at the bottom hemmed & got what I needed thanks to Mary Jill

    If you're looking for alterations or costume design or just someone who knows what they're doing when it comes to clothes and fabric, you need to see Mary Jill. Mary Jill was great - she's a master seamstress and was able to help me hem my bridesmaid dress. It was a long David's Bridal dress that was different lengths at the bottom so no other tailor I went to would do it. Full disclosure I was looking for someone who wouldn't charge me an arm and leg so price was a concern for me and I communicated that I wanted a simple less expensive fix. I reached out to Mary Jill via Facebook messenger initially and ask to arrange a time. She's in South Park and super accommodating. I tried on my dress with my heels and she gave me options. If I wanted the dress to sit a certain way she had a solution. I wanted the most affordable method to achieve my goal of shortening the length and it was nice knowing my options for future alterations etc. For pricing, she charges by time in the seat for her to make the alteration. For mine it was about 2 hours for what I needed and she mentioned that typically that'd cost $40 or so. Note that she doesn't quote you up front because it depends on how long it'll take her to work on your clothes. Overall great experience and she finished it quicker than I anticipated too. Thank you! I will be back with other clothes for future needs.

    They wedding dress Mary Jill altered

    Mary Jill is amazing and she cares so much about her clients!! She altered my wedding dress and it turned out beautiful. MJ had to take in a lot bc I bought the completely wrong dress size (even tho the dress shop measured me), and she was able to see everything back up beautifully. I had a lace dress with beading so the alterations required a lot of detail. MJ was really careful to make sure the lace didn't overlap and kept the same design on the front of the dress. The alterations took longer and cost more (due to the lace/beading) but she threw in a pair of pants alterations for free! Highly recommend going to her for any alterations or if you want any clothes made. She can do it all!

    I am SO excited to work with Mary at Easy Does It Studio! She will be working on my wedding dress - to make the dress fit me! Which is not the experience that you get from other places. She made a great first impression by telling me her experience and the history of her craft! She has years of experience and is open to new creative ideas. I am thrilled to be working with her and would recommend her to any bride-to-be, theater performer or to anyone who requires a custom look!

I originally rented a tux for my wedding thru "BLACK TUX" in Del Mar 1 month getting married. I went in for a fitting and although the reps were extremely nice, I was disappointed to know that they didn't carry an actual white tux jacket. I still decided to go with them since I was there. I told them that I did not need a bow tie or shoes however, they still charged me for them. 1 week before my wedding, I get the tux delivered and was extremely disappointed with EVERYTHING. The tux jacket was literally a dark beige (I ordered ivory.) my pants were not the same style as the ones I tried on, and the material was horrible. 1/10 overall do not recommend. In a panic, my fiancée gave me the info for the gentlemen's tux club and I called... Vanessa answered and was an absolute life saver. She calmed my nerves when she said they had all white jackets and could see me that day!!!!! The whole experience from getting there, the fitting, and the customer service was AMAZINGGGGG! We tried a few different styles with Vanessa, she measured me correctly and totally eased my mind! John, the owner also came out and congratulated us on our marriage and was overall great to us.

John is so quick to make sure you're taken care of, even while taking care of other customers. He made sure we all had a place to sit and something to drink while we waited. I had originally walked in with an idea for a classic black tux for my wedding. However, after asking me about all the details, John shared his expert opinion and put me in a light blue tux, which popped so well in the area we got married. I couldn't be happier with my rental, and I anticipate coming back here for all of my future tux needs.

    I've purchased custom suits from a number of tailors over the years, ranging from Men's Wearhouse…read moreto high-end clothiers who came to my home for measurements and fittings. In almost every instance, the process involved multiple rounds of adjustments, repeated fittings, and additional alterations even after the suit was supposedly finished. My experience with John at Zeglio Custom Clothiers was completely different. From the very beginning, John demonstrated an attention to detail that set him apart. Rather than relying heavily on software or generalized measurements that are later interpreted by a third party, John personally took extensive measurements and carefully guided me through fabric and design selections. It was immediately clear that he understood how a suit should fit and how to translate those measurements into a finished product. The process was exactly as promised: one appointment for measurements and fabric selection, a second appointment for the fitting once the canvas was created, and a third appointment for the final try-on and pickup. Remarkably, everything fit correctly. No endless rounds of alterations. No surprises. No compromises. What impressed me most was how much confidence John had in his process, and rightly so. He even encouraged me to come back within six months for complimentary adjustments if my weight changed. As it turned out, I did lose weight and took him up on the offer. The follow-through and customer service were every bit as impressive as the tailoring itself. The suit feels special. I receive compliments whenever I wear it, but more importantly, I appreciate the craftsmanship because I have enough experience with custom clothing to recognize when something is truly exceptional. The fit, balance, proportions, and details are all exactly what a custom suit should be. John is a consummate professional, and the entire experience was smooth, transparent, and enjoyable from start to finish. You absolutely get what you pay for. If you're looking for a true custom garment and an investment piece that will remain a staple in your wardrobe for years, I highly recommend John and Zeglio Custom Clothiers.

Unfortunately, the service experience has been the complete opposite. I've now had TWO appointments there, both scheduled in advance, and both times I arrived on time only to wait well over 30 minutes before even being acknowledged properly. In both cases, I eventually received a text saying they were "ready" for me long after my appointment time had already passed. On my most recent visit, I checked in for a 6 PM appointment, was told it would be "about five minutes," then sat waiting while the store was relatively quiet. Once I was finally brought back, I was told the sales associate I had been booked with was unavailable and someone else would step in while she finished another fitting. Then I sat in the fitting room alone for another several minutes with nobody assisting me. The first experience was somehow worse. I checked in, waited, then eventually decided to reschedule because it was obvious the store was overwhelmed. During that process, the employee helping me repeatedly forgot my name despite already checking me in multiple times. Earlier during that same visit, another associate had forgotten the suit sizes, colors, and event deadlines I had already explained. What's frustrating is that this isn't a budget suit shop trying to survive high volume traffic. SuitSupply presents itself as a premium experience, and at these price points, basic organization, punctuality, and attentiveness should be expected. I genuinely like the suits, which makes this even more disappointing. But after multiple appointments with the same issues, the service feels disorganized, inattentive, and far below the standard the brand projects.
