So, here I am at 2:30 on Saturday. Keep in mind the business hours are until 4 on Saturday, but, alas, no one is here. They haven't been here for the 30 minutes I've been waiting. Of course, I've called and been assured someone is coming to give me my dress, yet I continue to wait. I called on Wednesday- more than a week after the dress was promised to be done- to inquire about the status...it wasn't done. Ok. I ask if I can pick it up Saturday afternoon. The answer is yes. But, here I stand waiting... Update: finally got the dress after waiting an hour in the heat and it hadn't been steamed. That's not the end of the world, but I provided more than the requested amount of time to complete the work, then had to wait an hour outside for someone to just open the door AND it's not steamed. The work done to the dress was fine but nothing amazing. I wouldn't go back. read more

Marie helped rework my wedding dress and did an amazing job. She and as so nice, listened to all the things I wanted to change, made suggestions on how we could execute them she did an amazing job with the alterations. She reworked the sleeves, adjusted the fitting, changed the train, made custom embellishments on the waste and did the bustle. It obviously takes a lot of faith to trust someone to chop up your wedding dress but she made it look so lovely and exactly what I wanted. Highly recommend! read more

Brought my Italian Michael Shannons that were on their last limb here. Wear every other day trading black for brown and running around a hotel property. Put them through some heavy use. All the fun that come with a snowy winter in TN. Cracked soles holes, heel rubbed through and scratched to hell. Marie's a magician cobbler. New sole, fine polish, level my heel and restored better than original state. Oh and she stayed open late since my work schedule is out of whack. Exceeded my expectations with service and expertise. Spend the money have it done right. Thanks Marie! read more

She ruined my leather jacket. I asked her to add a zip to a pocket and she stitched the zip on the outside of the leather instead of opening the seam or cutting the leather and stitching it on the inside of the leather and then seaming it up. Only an idiot would install a zip like this on a a pocket. It was the lazy easy way to do it, yet she charged nearly a hundred dollars for this. read more

Marie made a custom cropped blouse for me for a wedding I attended in Miami. I came to her about a month before the wedding, and she walked me through everything from where to buy the right fabric to the height at which she would cut the material so it would complement the pencil skirt. There were about 3-4 appointments from initial conversation to final fittings. Marie is a sweet woman and talented seamstress. She was great to work with, and I'm so glad I came to her for this blouse. I got so many compliments on my outfit during the wedding. It was exactly what I wanted at a very reasonable price. read more

I waited 3 years before deciding to alter a vintage pink dress. Because it was very beautiful and delicate, I wanted to simply have it hemmed shorter and taken in on the sides to fit my frame. Marie's alterations, however, are a nightmare! Instead of using side seams and taking the time to take it in on the sides, she altered it in a way that left a LINE DOWN THE MIDDLE in the front and back. This highlights the crotch area and as the fabric is light, the heavy seam bends inwardly in the middle in unseemly and unflattering ways! No skirt or dress should EVER have a line down the middle. What this indicates is that either Marie's is not well-versed in techniques and does things incorrectly or that Marie is extremely unprofessional in her craftsmanship and ruins clothes beyond repair. This is such a blatant mistake and I would not take my clothes there again for fear of more mishaps. read more

I have been a client of Marie's for 5+ years. She has an in-depth knowledge of fabrics, designs, tailoring, cutting and sewing. She pays attention to detail and her work is always precise. She is passionate about her work and has devoted a lifetime to perfect her craft. She is a design pioneer and customizes styles that are forward thinking and out of the box. And most importantly she conducts her business to the highest degree of professionalism. I highly recommend her services! read more

I cannot recommend Marie enough! I ordered my wedding dress offline due to their custom fitting and design options, unfortunately the dress arrived two sizes too big! I brought the dress to Marie, and she saved my wedding! She added on 4 inches of length, took in the two sizes, made alterations the original designer claimed couldn't be done, and patiently made every change I nitpicked. Thank you so much Marie! I sent all my bridesmaids to her, and would whole heartedly recommend her to everyone. Thank you Marie! read more

Marie did a excellent job on altering my one piece jumpsuit for me. The jumpsuit was too big in the leg area but thanks to Marie she made it so that the jumpsuit fit me perfectly. Not to mention she had it ready for me within 2 days. I will always go to her for my alteration needs in the future. She was also very pleasant and kind. She's the best! read more

I came to Marie with a bridesmaid's dress which was beautiful but with a plunging neckline. I'm too endowed for that and knew I would have to add some fabric in the center to keep it tasteful. Not only did Marie suggest a good fabric store for me but together we designed part of the bodice of what became one of the most beautiful dresses of the wedding. It wasn't cheap but she does great work and can get it done quickly. She also listens well and will collaborate with you to make your vision shine. She hemmed the bottom of the dress as well. Marie also validates parking. read more

She is outstanding and super accommodating! Also so nice. I will go to her for anything I need!

It s a quick , professional and very cheap service . The lady is super friendly. She does the alteration herself so she can do it in the same day . My wedding is tomorrow and I have just realized that I haven't got my suite pants altered yet. She has just saved my wedding in 1.5 hours . read more

Very disappointing. I went in to get a bridesmaid dress taken in by an inch. She says it will take about a week, but she'll let me know when it's done. A week goes by. I had to call to ask if it's ready...this is unusual. It's three days before the wedding and the dress is now about two sizes too small!! Her stitching may be good, but her professionalism and measuring work is below sub par. I know she has good reviews, and maybe it was a bad day...but I will not go to this establishment again. read more

I love Ms.Marie! She is such a sweet lady and she altered my birthday dress to perfection! She definitely gained a customer for life! I highly recommend her! read more

Marie is a very talented seamstress and a great person to boot. I've been a happy customer for many years. She earns her five star rating through quality service. I've used Marie mainly for alterations, but also for other sewing jobs. Recently, I needed half my wardrobe altered after losing a size (yay!). She did a great job, and the clothes fit me better than if I'd bought them new. read more

I met Marie within the first few months of moving to Atlanta. Since then I've gained a skilled tailor and a trusted friend. She greets me with a hug and works with my procrastination to get me what I need in time. Over the years that has ranged from a suit needing to be tailored and slimmed to swim shorts, dress shirts, and even making a floor pillow from one piece of rug. She's creative, upbeat, and helpful. My wardrobe and life is finer with her friendship. I've also introduced and brought friends to her for business and she treats them like loved family. She is a great tailor and even better person. read more

The first time I saw Marie, a friend say she created a monster. And she did, ever since she tailored a shirt for me, I kept on coming back for more. There's nothing like the feeling of perfectly tailored clothes. She is super friendly and prompt and knows exactly what she is doing. I recommend her services and great friendly smile to everyone. read more

Great hours and prompt turn around! Owner operated with great customer service. I get all my clothing tailored there and the pricing is great for the high quality work done! Excellent location with Free Parking! read more

They did a great job cleaning my really dirty wedding dress and did it for a reasonable price. It's a bit hard to find so just go straight into the parking garage by the JW Marriott (at Lenox mall). It's a small shop by the elevator. I'd definitely go back! read more

I was very pleased with Marie's service and my suit was nicely tailored. I would recommend her to anyone in need of alterations in the buckhead area. read more

My daughters wedding dress sat in a closet for two years after the wedding. It had many stains all over the lower part of the dress and I thought it would never come clean. Marie's did an excellent job, the dress looks brand new. I would highly recommend this cleaner to anyone needing high quality work. The only down side it was hard to find. It is located inside the parking deck of the Marriott hotel in Atlanta. read more

At first, I was very impressed with the work completed by Marie. I asked her to remove the sleeves from one dress and make the sleeves bigger on another. She completed this work, and it was excellent, so I asked for more. I asked for a cleaning service on one of the dresses and for another to be altered to fit me. There was some miscommunication about the cleaning service - Marie called and quoted me the charge. When I said I could not afford it she said, "Okay, well how about if I just charge you what he charges me?" This makes it sound like she sends out the cleaning and then charges the customer for doing that - but, if so, the difference between the two prices was around $100! For one thing, I'd prefer just to go to a cleaner if she sends it out as well but, for another, I think $100 is a bit steep for simply sending it out. In the end, I got the "wholesale" price and the dress was impeccably cleaned, no harm, no foul. But where Marie really lost three stars is that she did a poor, unfinished job on altering the other dress to fit me. I learned from another seamstress later that it wasn't altered properly from the start. Then the seam wasn't complete, with the zipper still sticking out. I did not realize this until it was too late, so I had a friend of mine fix it. It took her several hours over two days to fix Marie's mistake on this dress. I don't understand why she would call me to say the dress is complete when it wasn't, and I can't believe she would charge me the full cost of the alteration for something unfinished. Even if she had said, "I'm sorry, I was not able to alter this dress properly," and charged me half or something for what she did do, okay, but she gave me the dress and charged me as though it had been totally completed. I didn't try it on that day because I had been to her for a fitting the week before - she did not even ask me if I wanted to try it when I picked it up the last day, and now I know why. I was very impressed with my first two orders, but so disappointed by my last experience that I will not be returning. Even if a seamstress isn't fantastic, I'd prefer someone who can admit their mistakes and/or limitations to me rather than someone who has me pay for something incomplete while stating it is finished. read more

Brought my jeans to a few places to get taken in and was never happy and then a friend recommended Marie. I could not be happier with the way she takes in my jeans!!! I will never take my jeans anywhere else. read more

I am so glad I found Marie on Yelp. I had to be in Atlanta for a little over three weeks and did not want to pay hotel prices for laundry or to have to find a self service laundromat and do myself. When I saw that she had wash and fold laundry services next to my hotel, I decided to try it out. I ended up using the service twice and couldn't be more satisfied. Clothes were returned fresh and clean and neatly folded. Plus she is a wonderful person to work with. read more
