You couldn't pay me to go back. Customer service was poor and the work was less than acceptable…read more I took in 3 dresses to be hemmed, one pair of pants, and 3 halter tops to have the ties sewn behind the neck. I had not previously used any other tailor, so I had no comparison for prices at the time of my visit. They don't post prices for hemming, because you pay more for multiple layers and less for single layers, which is how the female proprietor explained it. The Glen Burnie and Pasadena areas are lower socioeconomic areas and their prices seemed high, so I only had them hem one of the dresses, the pants, and three halter tops, because the woman tried to charge me the same amount for a single layer hem as the double layer, when the double had a full skirt and the single was narrow.
While I was changing, another lady came in with several dresses and was quoted very different prices, I assume because she was dressed more casually and I was dressed professionally. She quoted $6 for each halter top to sew a one inch area together. When I picked them up and tried the dress on, it was acceptable, but the pants were significantly shorter in the back than the front. The neck straps on the halter tops were sewn opposite with right sides to wrong sides and flipped the top to the bottom of the straps, causing them to twist. Her husband does the sewing in the back. So, I called on the phone to calmly discuss the discrepancy with the woman, and she yelled at me and called me a liar. I told her that I would bring them back in, but she needed to make it right. When I got there, she was still angry and fuming, so her husband came out, took them back and fixed them. There was never an apology, and the wife's behavior was unprofessional, unkind, insulting, and I will never return there again. I have since had an opportunity to try several other tailors in the area and have found Marley Tailoring to be the most expensive. I don't know how they stay in business. At the time of my visit, they only accepted cash, no credit cards.
