    Maryann is amazing. I am going to be lost when she retires this summer. She has worked on a wedding dress to my bathing suits.

    Maryann is by far the best tailor I have ever been to. She does whatever you want but will suggest alternatives if you're unsure.

    I unfortunately had a really poor experience at Donna's Bridals, so please take my review as a…read morecautionary tale. I went to Donna to shorten the straps on my wedding dress and add a bustle. The bodice of my dress fit perfectly before seeing Donna Bridals. Appt 1 (12/9/25) - consultation. Donna suggested to shorten the straps and bring it in towards the center a little, due to the original strap placement being too far out/wide on my frame. I agreed to the professional's advice. Appt 2 (1/24/26) - the dress no longer fit. The straps could not even go over my shoulders AT ALL. The dress couldn't zip up all the way anymore. I questioned why this was the case if she only shortened the straps - Donna said she wasn't sure and suggested that I gained weight. With it being post-holidays, I naively believed her. Feeling dissociated and upset, I went along with her suggestions for the next appointment (lengthen the strap and let out the sides of the bodice). When I went back home I stepped on the scale, and I was exactly the same weight as before (my weight doesn't easily fluctuate). Either way, it is incredibly unprofessional to suggest that the client's body is the problem. Appt 3 (2/28/26) - The dress still did not fit. Donna still didn't have an answer for me as for why, besides me gaining weight. I do have some experience sewing, and I'm pretty sure the mistake was bringing in the strap placement towards the center, and sewing down the side to blend it with the original seam. This would take away a few centimeters from the bust, hence the dress fitting a lot more tightly. It is unfortunate that she cut off this "excess" fabric, otherwise she could've undone the mistake. She also had the bustle done at this appointment and that was fine. Appt 4 (3/1/26) - She let out the bodice so I could breathe with the dress zipped up all the way, and the straps finally could go over my shoulders. However, the consequence of bringing in the straps towards the center and sewing down the side, pulled the back of the straps towards the front a bit as well. The straps used to lay beautifully flat on my back before any alterations were done, but as you can see in the pics, the back straps began gaping. She suggested to cut the boning and sew darts to fix the gaping on the back straps. I paid more money for her to fix the problems that her work created (they were never problems before I went to her). After a few sleepless nights, I finally realized this situation was poorly handled and I was very uncomfortable with my dress in Donna's possession. The sunken-cost fallacy and my naivety kept me from realizing this sooner. I had an appt a week later and there I asked for my money back, as well as my dress. She went on to explain what she did with the straps of the dress and such, but still could not explain why the dress fit so tightly at Appt 2 and onward, besides suggesting that I've been eating too much. At this point, I was exhausted and just wanted at least some of my money back and my dress. She gave me the money back from the work she did not do yet from Appt 4 and my botched wedding dress. All in all, I paid ~$500 to have my wedding dress ruined. What should have been a straight-forward alteration (shorten the straps, add a bustle) became a convoluted, stressful situation that I wouldn't wish upon any bride. A new problem would arise at every appointment, and I continued to pay out of my pocket (again, my naivety and the sunken-cost fallacy). I ended up getting a new wedding dress that was around the same cost of what I paid Donna, and altered it myself as I couldn't risk it. It is one thing for a professional to make a mistake, take responsibility, and do their best to make it better, but when they instead deny it and blame the client for it, it is very disheartening and manipulative. I am sure other clients have had a great experience all-around with Donna (i.e. all the positive reviews), but unfortunately that really was not the case for me. Nonetheless, I wish Donna all the best. Please take my review as a cautionary tale.
