We had to postpone our wedding mere weeks before it was scheduled and I'll admit once we made the…read moredecision, I tucked away the dress along with any hope of doing it anytime soon. When we stumbled upon the opportunity to make it official six months later, we jumped on it, but time was tight. When I tried on my dress again, I felt much less excited about it than I was six months ago. I spent days trying to convince myself that it was fine but finally, a week and a half before the big day, I took a chance on ordering an alternative online. It was delivered exactly one week before the big day, and it was definitely BIG. The first place I called to inquire about the possibility of alterations essentially laughed in my face (rightfully so). I almost lost my courage, but gave Margrete a (very nervous) try. I am so glad I did! She was definitely busy but did not write me off and scheduled for me to stop by that evening. When I got there, she got right to work and assured me I had nothing to worry about! She insisted that she was there to take one pre-wedding worry off my plate, and she completely did. I went back a couple of times over the next few days to ensure things were coming out perfectly, and honestly that's exactly what you can expect: perfection. She finds obvious pride and pleasure in her work, and it is so evident in the final product. For the sake of an honest review, I did spend more than I'd expected. But, truly, it was worth the peace of mind and top notch quality work. She also very clearly worked her tail off to meet my deadline!! Absolutely cannot express how thankful I am for how hard she worked, and how well she did. I spent so much time thinking I didn't need the "perfect" dress to really feel like a bride and I was so wrong. At my final fitting it was clear - with enormous gratitude towards Margrete, I had found THE dress.

I…read morefound a beautiful Pronovias dress, although it was strapless and I really wanted a one shoulder dress. The photos show the true transformation. Margrete pulled the delicate beaded and lace flower detail from one side of the dress and created one shoulder as I was picturing. The remaining lace was used on my custom matching veil. I recommend working with Margrete on your tailoring needs!

Meryem asked my daughter what she was thinking and listened to her wishes. Meryem gave her suggestions - and explained why! YAY!! The dress came out perfectly and my daughter received so many compliments. We easily scheduled the appointments for both the first and second fittings. You will receive one-to-one service since it is a small shop with a personal touch. The value of the work is beyond reasonable. Meryem's talent is beyond explanation. I would recommend Meryem at Tata's Distinctive Tailoring to anyone looking for a personalized, talented, and skilled seamstress.

I bought my…read moredress off the rack only 2 months before my wedding, and I went to see Meryem to shorten the straps, tighten the top, and add a bustle. Less than a month before the wedding, I decided I'd really like sleeves. Meryem told me if I bring her the fabric, she will make them for me. I brought in the fabric and an inspiration picture and I am absolutely amazed with the results. Not only did my dress fit perfectly, it was a one of a kind piece of art. Even better than the inspiration picture. Meryem is so talented, and very considerate of making sure it's done with extra time to spare before the event. This is the best place to go for your tailoring and alteration needs.
