Our family has been coming to Maria's for 5+ years. They do a great job and are very reliable to complete dry cleaning within the timeframe they communicate at drop off. In addition to the great dry cleaning services, I really appreciate that they have a full-time seamstress on site. The seamstress is the owner/operator. I feel really thankful to have such a nice little service location in my neighborhood. read more

Amazing seamstress. Her work is flawless and meticulously done Gowns, dresses, blazers and winter coats Maria does it all!

I found Maria about three years ago to help alter a bridesmaid dress. She did a wonderful job with that however she made a comment about my weight at that time which was not appropriate especially given at that time I had recently given birth, still I overlooked that comment. I came back again a year later to get a quote for a southeast Asian outfit. The outfit I had purchased was about $45 and she quoted me $90 for alterations which is reasonable but for me it was not worth it so I did not proceed with the alterations. I again went back again this week for alterations for many pieces for myself and my kids for a wedding. I had many outfits and I called Maria to see if I can come in. Maria said she was busy and to come in at 6:30pm which is when she closes. I confirmed if it was ok because that's late and she said she was. When I went in she instantly said she cannot help and that she remembers me from that time I did not proceed with my alteration for the other dress a year prior. I let her know it wasn't anything against her it was because the dress was not worth altering. I offered to pay $50 extra for the alterations needed now and she agreed because I needed the pieces urgently. There were a total of ten pieces, my little boys pants, and my little girls two tops and a skirt, and an adult (mine) top and skirt. she quoted me $335 including the $50. All pieces either required hemming, cuff shortening, taking in at the body. There were no major alterations. During the time I had requested to keep fabric for the pieces for my sons as I wanted to make sure they can wear later on. In front of my husband she kept saying "Indian always saving money, they cheap" and that she couldnt keep extra fabric. I'm not even Indian and she was racially profiling me. I was honestly getting a little uncomfortable and was a little nervous to tell her that $335 although reasonable price may be high for me for the items for my kids because of the way she was acting and I had my kids and my husband with me. She requested I pay her in cash and she doesn't take any other form of payment. The next day in the morning, I called her and said I was sorry but I do not wish to proceed with the minor alterations for my kids as the price is not something I am able to pay for, Before I could finish my sentence she hung up the phone. She called back a few mins later and asked me to come back and get everything. I drove right away to her and apologized and asked if she doesn't mind just doing mine and it will be less work for her as well since she initially did not want to take the other items. She became quite rude at this point, yelling at me and telling me to take everything and demanded I give her $20 for the consultation the night before, which she never disclosed to me was needed. She kept saying "you people do it all then time" make reference to my skin color. I requested she take my items only (the top and skirt lehenga) which she quoted $100, and I apologized again and told her the extra $50 I will still give on top of the $100 as previously proposed. She agreed but demanded I pay right away and cash only. I had $20 with me so I gave her that and drove home, and came back to give her the additional $130. At this point she was with a customer but she told me to pay her, so I moved forward and gave $130 but she kept yelling at me in loud voice and Demanding $50 more. She berated me infront of the other customer and at this point I was getting so sad and tearing up, but she took all my clothes and gave them to me without folding with all pins inside and yelling. It was such an awful experience. The customer started consoling me and Maria still kept being rude and telling her I need to pay $170 for an alternation that is $100. She kept my $20 and I didn't bother getting it because she was so mean. Look I understand she did try to accommodate me and it was not nice when I called her right away next morning thenprice is high for me ( which I sincerely apologized for a few times) but there are better ways to express oneself. She racially profiles, makes mean comments and berates customers. Even if her work is good I would never support a business with such rude and disrespectful behavior. I made a huge mistake for putting up with this whole thing. I would not recommend anyone come here for any service. There are other tailors and seamstress who will do just as good job, at better prices without disrespecting their customers and treating them awfully. read more

I have used Maria's for both alterations and cleaning, and would like to give her my highest rating. Outstanding tailor with a very nice personality. Sometimes she gets busy so you may have to wait, but the wait is worth it!!! I will always use her... and HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!! Have used her for several years... John read more

I recently went here and if I could give it zero stars, I would. I purchased a patch that I wanted sewed on to the back of my dad's tie for him to wear on my wedding day. I went into Maria's and explained to the lady working (it wasn't Maria) exactly what I wanted. When I picked up the tie the following week, I was SO upset on how it came out. It looks TERRIBLE! It looks like a 2 year old sewed the patch on, not a professional seamstress. They completely ruined this gift for my dad and now I have to purchase a new patch and tie and hope it arrives before my wedding day. I HIGHLY suggest that you don't come here. I know I will never be stepping foot in this place again!!! read more

Maria did the alterations for my wedding dress in March 2009. It came out amazing and fit perfectly. And it was very reasonably priced. She did the hem, took it out, fixed the zipper, and then cleaned and steamed the dress so that it was ready for my big day. I was so pleased with how everything came out! It was perfect! read more

Marias has been great. Alterations are perfect, quick, and affordable. Dry cleaning has also been perfect and trouble free. The only issue I have ever had was solved immediately and to my 100% satisfaction. I recommend this shop. I tried a total of 6 different dry cleaners when I moved to Burington. read more

I highly recommend Maria's Alterations! She has altered many of my clothes so far and they all came out exactly how I wanted them! She is friendly and has good prices! read more

Maria's has really good prices and she is very nice. She is great with alterations- I had to have work pants taken in two whole sizes and you'd never know these used to be bigger! I'm really impressed, especially because I expected the alteration to cost a lot more. read more

Maria is great at alteration, I was able to get my prom dress really quickly. Great service !!

I recently moved to Burlington and I needed to find a place to fit a bridesmaids dress for me. I found Maria's on yelp and decided to try her out. Overall, she did an okay job. I had her take in the straps and hem the double layer skirt. I asked how long it would take and she said about 4 weeks! I was surprised, but luckily I had plenty of time. This was during the summer, so I guess she was pretty busy with wedding dresses. When I came to pick it up a month later, the straps were fine but the hem seemed a little crooked. It wasn't bad enough to be worth mentioning (especially since I'll never wear the dress after the wedding) but I wasn't that impressed. read more

I went to have a dress hemmed and also for dry cleaning. I did not like either service. I was not given a chance to try on the dress and then when I got home, realized it was still too long and touching the floor (they had measured me too and I was wearing the same shoes). I decided not to even go back. I went to Four Corners Cleaners and Tailors in Woburn and they were better - very nice and knowledgeable and provide a greener cleaning which is done onsite. read more

Maria is the best. We had 3, 2 piece bridesmaids dresses altered by Maria. She did a great job on alterations of both the top and the bottom. Also she did a great job on the bustles on the dresses. They all came out very nice. The other bridesmaids got their dresses altered at various other places and they were holding up their dresses all night on the top and their bustles did not fall nicely like ours and their dresses didn't seem appropriate lenghts either (too long). On a sidenote Maria even instructed us the proper way to put on one of those weird strapless bras so that when she altered the dress it would fit properly with the bra. I believe she even altered my mother in law's dress too. Price was very reasonable! She is great. I would recommend her to anyone! She knows her stuff. Oh yeah and I believe she has been there for many many years. read more

I just went here for the first time and I will never go back. I had a rip in my jeans that continued to rip and asked her if she could sew the rip so it would stop. She suggested putting a patch under so it would stop the ripping. When I went back, she sewed around the entire hole-the stitching was all over the place a 5 year old could have done it. There was also a giant square sewed around it and she said she did this to make it extra strong. I told her this is not what I asked for and I don't think it looks good. She had me pay the $30 and told me to come back so she could take that part out. When I went back today she took the stitching out and asked me for $35 and I told her I already paid and she goes I don't have time to look for your receipt but I will call you if you did not pay. So not only did she ruin my jeans she also tried to charge me again and charge me more than she originally asked for. Do not go here. I would rather pay more money for someone to take the time to make my jeans look nice. read more
