5 STARS!! If I could give her more stars I would! I took my $3000 (valued) wedding dress to Mari and it was the best decision I ever made. There are a million things to stress about when you are planning a wedding but my wedding dress wasn't one of them. Thankfully, I owe that to MARI. Thank you to all the yelpers who recommended her. She is legit! The day I called, she made arrangements with me to meet and she checked in with me the day before our appointment to confirm. Our first appointment lasted about an hour or so as she carefully pinned the dress and made all the markings needed for the hem up. To my surprise she quoted me much better than the other 2 quotes I got for $500 and $800+. Fast forward about 1.5 months later, she finished the dress and I came for my first fitting, and boy was I impressed with how amazing of a job she did. She was so thoughtful and meticulous about every detail. It was nearly a perfect fit. She made any minor adjustments and fixes to the bead work that I requested (on the spot) since I bought an 'off the rack dress' some of the beads fell off. She was so patient and accommodating to my requests. She really cares about her customers and putting out her best work. She even took the time to listen & talk to me about my worries about the wedding and future in-laws while she made final touches to the dress. She has a heart of gold. If you need alterations to your wedding dress or clothing, go see Mari, you don't have to think twice. She'll take care of you and is super reliable. read more

I was recommended to Mari by her sister who is a dear friend of mine. I'm so glad because she made my wedding gown + the gowns of my bridesmaids + my mom and MIL all fit perfectly! She worked with our schedules and had a quick turn around. She charges reasonably and the quality is EXCELLENT. Would highly recommend, in fact my sister went to her for her very complicated wedding gown the following year + her bridal party's too. Thank you Mari!!!! read more

I had Mary put in some lining on the sleeves on my dress and loved that way it turned out. Will definitely use her again! Thank you, Mary!

This was truly one of the best experiences I've ever had with someone I found through Yelp. I had a wedding dress nightmare and had to purchase a new dress just 2 1/2 weeks before my wedding. I didn't know what I was going to do about alterations because there was hardly any time and I continuously was being turned away by seamstresses. Mari not only said yes to helping me but she had me pick it up the next day! I had been so heartbroken over my dress situation and meeting with her was such a highlight in my wedding journey! I'd recommend her to anyone! The hem of my dress was flawless and she added a bustle to the back of my dress. She is amazing! read more

Mari is the absolute best! Everything I have taken to her, from dresses to very special custom stage pieces she has done a perfect job on, plus her prices are so affordable compared to the tailors around. She's a total professional with a high capacity to get so many things done, but all of them perfectly. read more

Seamingly Threads - Mari made this custom black sheer fabric "wings" for my show in LA - Sewing & Alterations Near Me

I came to her a month before the wedding I'm in with my bridesmaid dress I was in love with, but sadly the zipper only went up half way. She was nice but made a few remarks that weren't very customer service friendly. I tried asking her how long it would take to work on my dress and she said only a few days and that we had a lot of time. Never gave me a time frame as to how late is too late for her. She told me she would be able to make the dress fit by making a corset in the back but she needed me to find the extra fabric. I was able to contact the company I bought the dress from and paid for them to send me extra fabric so it would match my dress exactly. After going through all that and finally receiving the fabric, I texted her and she said "ugh that's cutting it short!" and "I hope they sent you enough fabric" I found that very rude, especially since I confirmed with her how much fabric I would need and I bought more than what she suggested! I've worked in customer service for 10 years now and I would never say that to someone and have that kind of attitude. Another odd comment she made when looking at my dress was "You can't return it?" If I'm seeking help for the dress, obviously I can't, nor did I want to. I was very hopeful and excited she would be able to help me, but disappointed that now I really am cutting it short with this alteration since the wedding is in two weeks. Very unprofessional. read more

Mari was exceptionally helpful. I had a dress that needed to get hemmed at the very last minute. After looking around, I had contacted Mari to get a quote. The price was very reasonable and was told that she would have it done by the end of the week(a day before I needed it) Well, the next day she texted me back mentioning the dress was finished. Sure it was a small job, but I've dealt with many other places where the hem was crooked or too short while others who tried to push other alteration jobs just to get more money. She was very professional and quick and I will definitely go back if I need anything else done in the future. Would definitely recommend her. read more

Mari takes pride in her work. Her #1 is to have a happy customer because a happy customer is a returning customer. She is very conscientious in regard to her pricing.

Mari is absolutely wonderful. I recently bought a dress that I absolutely loved, but after the first wear the zipper broke. I called Mari and asked her how much it would be to fix the zipper or change the back to a corset. She said the zipper change would be $15. Corset back would be $30. I brought her the dress and after evaluating it together we decided the corset back would be best. She had an emergency and had to leave. She said the dress would be done in a few days. I was completely surprised when it was finished in 2 days. The dress is amazing. The corset back was perfect. I can easily get in and out of the dress. She used stretchy material so there wouldn't be another break. If you need a seamstress call Mari. read more

Mari is the absolute best. I had ordered a wedding dress that I loved, but that was way too big for me. She assessed the dress and basically made me an entire new dress that was more beautiful out of the same fabric. She worked quickly and was always reliable. She fitted me a few times until she was confident that it would be perfect. And it was perfect. My dress looked amazing. I was so happy and grateful for her excellent work.

Amazing workmanship! Mari is a miracle and lifesaver. She fixed quite a few of my delicate vintage pieces. I have never been let down by her. I have full confidence in her work. She has helped me redesign quite a few antique/vintage pieces that would otherwise never have been salvageable. I cannot express how much appreciation and aw I have for her. Love this company! read more

Mary has been an incredible YELP find for me. I have taken three pairs of men's dress pants to her. I wanted them taken in at the waist, hemmed, and taken in from the knee to the ankle. So, she basically had to remake the whole pair of pants for me. They are perfect and her craftsmanship has proven durable through several wears. I have also seen her work in costuming (through pictures) and I am very impressed with her creativity. She is affordable, very quick, and pleasure to communicate with. I couldn't recommend her more highly! read more

Mari is Awesome!! Great prices, and very high quality work. I had some suits and shirts altered. I have always had trouble finding clothes to fit me correctly. I had started ordering custom clothes overseas, and those take forever to arrive and you never know what you'll get. Mari made all of my clothes feel custom made. My suits never felt so good. All of my coworkers say I look great. Thank you Mari. read more

This is the best service I have received in years! Mari is such a sweetheart and her work is excellent I'm definitely coming back again!

This is a long over due review. Mari took up and altered my wedding dress for me.

I would definitely recommend her! read more

I needed a coat's sleeves lengthened and took it to Mari who I found on yelp with great reviews. She was nice and responded quickly to my emails. I took the coat to her and she had it read for pick up really quickly which was great. Unfortunately the greatness ended there, I picked up the coat and headed to work. When I inspected it, I noticed the cuffs were uneven, the stitching was loose with gaps throughout and the material that she used on the inside of the sleeve was not coat lining material. It kind of looked like gauze. I was disappointed because this coat is a gift for my wife and now I can't give it to her until I have it professionally fixed. I wouldn't recommend her service! read more

A great experience with Mari! We wanted to get a skirt made as part of a Halloween costume for my daughter.

No hesitation whatsoever in recommending Mari's services. read more

Not only is her work impeccable, but her prices are incredibly reasonable and she is such a sweetheart. Go here, you wont be sorry! read more
