I would not recommend using Maria the quality of work and standing behind promises is a complete miss. I asked her to add bra cups to my wedding and reception dress. At my second visit to her, the wrong cups were in the dresses - she apologized and said it would be fixed in a month. At my third and final fitting, the bra cups were stitched in 2 small places to the outside of the dress, not in between the fabrics. When I told her I didn't think that was correct and it didn't feel secure in the dress, she told me I was wrong and quickly ended our appointment. I'm now paying twice for my dress to be altered and the new tailor said I never should have paid Maria for this poor quality of work. Also, if you want sleeves added to your dress, don't go here because she won't add them. read more

Maria! I can't thank you enough for the beautiful work you did on my dress! It got perfectly and you were so easy to work with! I was referred to Maria from Arlet Bridal in Riverside and I am so glad that I went with her. She was very honest and helpful when I had a few alterations that I was unsure if I wanted of not. The bustle was beautiful and I had so many compliments! I would recommend her to anyone! She is the best! Thank you again Maria! read more

Brought my bridesmaid dress to Maria and she worked wonders! Originally took the dress to make it couple inches shorter, I knew my laced sleeves were too long but figured there was no way someone can fix them properly without the pattern staying the same. I was definitely wrong, Maria off the bat noticed and with her confidence and knowledge I 100 percent trusted her and knew I had brought my dress to the right person. Dress came out amazing! She is truly one of a kind! No need to look anywhere else for alterations! Thank you once again Maria! read more

HIGHLY recommend Maria, a thousand times over again. She is so sweet and genuinely cares. I bought my wedding dress of LuLus and knew it would need custom straps, as I wanted thick ones. Maria took my vision- was completely honest with what she could do and how it would ultimately look- and made something so beautiful. Maria explained every detail, encouraged me to think about hiring her- no pressure after the free consultation. She didn't pressure or advise for unnecessary alterations. Definitely the most fair priced alterations in the area. She also did my MIL & SIL alterations as well- we had a major problem 4 days before the wedding(not Maria's fault at all) and once Maria got permission to fix it she did so quickly! I'm a bridesmaid in an upcoming spring wedding and looking forward to booking Maria again for those alterations! read more

I have an extremely difficult time finding clothes...let alone formal dresses to fit my small frame. I had had poor experience in the past with dresses for formal events not being altered correctly, so when I was looking at reviews for seamstresses in the area, my gut went with Ms. Maria.... All the amazing comments you see here truly reflect her work... She makes you feel comfortable and is kind hearted.... I'll definitely be going back to her again for more alterations. read more

So Maria was my second person to do alterations on my wedding dress with little time to do it. She was able to correct the errors made from the first seamstress and make the sleeves I was happy to wear on my dress. She also had to bring in my dress under the armpits and you couldn't tell it was taken in. She does amazing. I would drive hours to have her alter anything I may need done. She has my full trust in her skills and her pricing was not what large stores charge. read more

Maria was recommended by the place I bought my wedding dress and after working with her, I can understand why she is their preferred vendor. She was truly SUCH a gem to work with. I took my dress to her already obsessed with it and I was fully expecting to just add a bustle and have it hemmed. Her expertise came through in a few suggestions she made that took the dress from great to greater! She had excellent communication and reminder texts throughout the process which was SUPER helpful when planning a wedding and juggling a million things. I ended up sending my mother in law and sister in law to her for their alterations and we all agreed that she was the BEST! Do yourself a favor and book with Maria! read more

She did an amazing job even though it just needed a few text here and there the alterations made all the difference. Maria is very sweet and comes with years of talent to make your experience both personal and professional! read more

Maria is amazing! The original tailor that I brought my wedding dress to ended up being a disaster. I found Maria 1 month before my wedding and she was able to get me in and perfect every inch of my dress! I was so happy with how it turned out, it was better than I ever could have imagined! Thank you so much again!! read more

There are not enough words to say how incredibly talented Maria is at alterations! I am so grateful the bridal boutique I purchased my dress from recommended her. For starters, I got married when I was 26 weeks pregnant and had a definite belly. I bought my dress (in a very large size off the rack) about 8 weeks prior to my wedding, so Maria recommended we wait until two weeks before the wedding to make sure it fit perfectly with my growing belly. We had a few alterations appts and each time she was so professional, on top of what I wanted, and made me feel beautiful! She had to take in the sleeves, remove some of the embroidery and place it back on, and shortened the length to fit perfectly. Just to name a few! My dress fit like a glove on my wedding day and I got SO many compliments on it!!! Thank you so much, Maria! I appreciate you!! read more

Maria is not only an expert seamstress, she is an amazingly beautiful soul as well. Maria clearly has extensive experience in alterations, particularly bridal, and knew exactly what to do to restore my second-hand dress to it's original glory and design the bustle "the dress was meant to have". My dress was lace overlay with a lycra-like slip underneath, and the lace had deep scallop trim but Maria knew exactly how to take it in and hem it without losing any of the aesthetic. Above and beyond her expert and meticulous work leading up to my second and third fitting, Maria squeezed me in when I was nearly an hour late to my final fitting, AND took in my dress on the spot because I had lost weight unexpectedly. I highly recommend Maria, and honestly wouldn't trust such an important gown to anyone else! read more

Trust the reviews! I found her on Yelp and decided to call and drive the 50 minutes. I didn't realize that bridal alterations needed to be booked in advance. Luckily Maria worked with me 2.5 months before the wedding. We set up 3 fittings and my dress came out beautiful. She knows what she is doing and does her job well! She is prompt, reliable and very sweet. She made my wedding dress fit perfectly! I thought I just needed to shorten the dress and alter the chest but Maria had shown me what would look best. I had cups put in, straps adjusted, top taken in on sides, skirt length shortened, waist taken in and bustle added. She steamed my dress and veil. She really takes care of you and makes sure you look amazing. She also shortened my MOH 's dress. Thank you Maria! read more

So happy that I found Maria!! Great services, kind and welcoming . She will forever get my services. Contact her you won't be disappointed !! read more

For starters, I bought my wedding gown originally in the size that fit me at the time. My goal was to lose weight but wanted to buy what fit me at the time (size 22). I had a year before my (original) wedding date. I went to the bridal boutique when my dress arrived and I was SWIMMING in it, I lost some weight! I brought the gown to Maria, and I am so thankful I did. 1st fitting: I was clipped all up the back of my gown, and for the first time I got to see how my gown could fit me. She quoted me prices for my alterations, I was happy with the price. 2nd fitting: i had lost more weight, she needed to take in more and the price never changed! I delayed my wedding date due to covid. My wedding date was pushed back 6 months. Maria held onto my dress and allowed me to schedule as many fitting as I needed during this time to ensure I was still hitting my goal weight. Each fitting I was smaller. Not only was she encouraging of my weight loss, but she gave recommendations of different areas that, if taken in further, would really show off my new figure. Again, the original price NEVER changed regardless of how many times she needed to take in the dress! The only time my original price changed is if I added something. This made me want to continue to lose the weight, I had more time to do it and she wasn't charging extra to take in each time!! I went from feeling like a rectangle (absolutely no curves, no booty, no boobs) to looking super curvy and amazing in my gown thanks to Maria's talent! I highly recommend her! read more

Maria is Simply AMAZING. She transformed my dress into the one of my dreams! I could not find the exact dress I wanted but found something close. That being said, the dress had to be recreated and Maria thankfully could see my vision. Her talents are boundless. You will never find better! read more

We were a little late getting my daughter's wedding dress to a seamstress. We only had 1 month before the wedding date and Maria was able to get us in and did an amazing job.

Maria was a total godsend with my wedding gown. She's so sweet and very organized! She sends reminder texts for fittings and was always prepared. My gown needed some serious modifications- pockets for breast prostheses and a modesty panel, a bustle on lace overjacket, hemming, missing button, boning, and taken in several sizes (even as we were doing fittings- Maria just rolled with it!) My gown was absolutely beautiful when she was done. Thank you Maria! read more

Maria was a pleasure to work with. She's a skilled and professional tailor with a very sweet disposition. She made my wedding dress fit like a glove and, on top of that, I felt that her prices were very fair and reasonable! She charged me $35 for a consultation appt., but then deducted the $35 from my total bill just for choosing to go through her for my alterations. I really liked that! I'd recommend her services to a friend without a single hesitation! Btw- she also sells shape-wear and jewelry! I had nearly given up on trying to find a pair of flattering shape-wear when Maria had me try on a pair of hers at my consultation appt. It was a perfect fit and there were no VPL! Score! Love Simply Maria! read more

I am so happy I decided to get my alterations done with Maria. I got both my wedding dress and reception dress altered with her and they both came out just amazing. The prices were fantastic and she was always very honest about what needed to be done and what was optional-she never pressured me to get anything done. I paid less to alter both dresses (hem, take in, steam, clean, place cups, etc.) than most brides pay to alter just one dress! And the bustle....all of my friends who have been past brides just marveled at it-it was so easy to fix and stayed put the whole time. I highly recommend Maria for any alterations you need to get done-you won't regret it. read more

Maria made my dress perfect in a short time for a destination wedding. She was receptive to my impute and went the extra mile making sure my dress was perfect for my special day. When I look at my pictures I amazed with how well she fitted the dress to my shape. I felt amazing while wearing it. She was never pushy and truly made sure I was happy. Maria got my dress ready to be carried with me on the plane. The dress was so well packaged that it was perfect and needed no steaming when we arrived all the way in France.Thank you Maria for helping my dress truly a dream. read more

Simply Maria did an amazing job on hemming my dress and got it done in a few days to have it ready for the wedding I was attending

Maria is so so sweet, kind and experienced! ...and will make your dress fit like a GLOVE! You will feel like a true princess when she alters your dress. When I put on my dress after the final fitting I was amazed how much just altering it a bit makes a huge difference!! She made me feel fabulous. She made sure I brought my wedding shoes and even put out a runner on the ground to give me the entire feel and ensure everything was 100% perfect. The dress fit so perfectly in all the right places. She ensured 3 fittings is needed and I completely trusted her. She was right of course! I was sad after my final fitting that I knew I wouldn't see or experience her work again! You will not be disappointed when going to Maria!! Thank you so much ! read more

I was referred to Maria after purchasing my wedding dress at Arlet Bridal - and she did not disappoint!! Not only did she make all the necessary alterations in order to fit the dress to my height and size, she made my dress look beautiful! I had lots of scallops, lots of lace and lots of detailing, and she altered it all so that it looked better than the original. My dress also originally was very low cut, and too low for my frame and church wedding. Maria created a whole new detailing and top for my dress, and made it look even more beautiful than it was when I bought it - I am so thankful to her for all of her professional, thoughtful, careful and FAST work!! Thank you, Maria!! read more

Maria what can I say besides THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!!!! You literally made which was already the dress of my dreams even more beautiful than it was. If anyone is looking for wedding dress alterations should without a doubt give this lovely woman a call because she can create magic. My dress had the length altered, she added a bustle to my train, had the sides by my thighs taken in a bit so I can get more of a mermaid look, had cups added in so I can go strapless and added these hooks on my cathedral veil so I can have a layered look which I can walk around with all night. I did not want to take this dress off. Thank you so much Maria you are the best! read more

Maria is the absolute best! She is so so sweet and so good at her craft. I called her to schedule my first appointment and told her that I was pregnant and she scheduled my first appointment 2 1/2 weeks before my wedding. My dress fit snug and she was very honest and gave me my options. She recommended adding a corset, and although I didn't want to change the original structure of my dress, she made me feel like this was the best decision for me. And it was!! My second fitting was a week later and my dress looked amazing!! I loved the corset and was so happy I trusted her advice. My dress is all lace and she did the hem and bustle beautifully! She steamed my dress and streamers and packaged everything up so nicely. I highly highly recommend Maria to alter your wedding dress!! read more

Our wedding was in December and Maria was absolutely wonderful to work with. She has a warm, inviting personality and her work is of true quality. Maria transformed my wedding dress so beautifully! She hemmed my dress, took in the waist, attached my wedding belt, and added bustles so that my long train and veil could be shortened during the reception. Maria played a huge role in making feel comfortable and beautiful in my dress, and I am thankful for her role in doing so! read more

Where do I begin with Maria? She is absolutely amazing! I was very picky about who I chose to alter my wedding dress, luckily I found Maria and not only did I trust her, but she also made alterations easy and simple! I am very short, so there was quite a bit of hemming that needed to happen and so many different layers with my dress, but Maria made my dress fit me perfectly and look so beautiful!!

Maria is a LIFESAVER! My bridesmaid dress was way too small a month before the wedding and the manufacturer no longer made the dress in the color I needed. Panic mode!! Maria assured me everything would be OK, got me in for a fitting ASAP, and a week later I had my dress back and it fits like a glove. She was reliable, communicative, and so sweet. Highly, highly recommend! Thank you Maria for saving the day! read more
