Highly highly recommend this shop! If you like to support a small family-run business, GO HERE!…read moreThey're not only friendly and personable, but also extremely talented. I had Maria work on a very difficult dress (vintage lace wedding dress from the 50's... with only 2 weeks until my wedding!!) and she was extremely accommodating and fit me in even though she was very busy. She did an amazing job on my dress, fixing it in ways I didn't even know it needed, and for less than half of what I was quoted at a "vintage restoration" bridal shop. Great hospitality, value, and skill. I loved the conversations we had in the shop too, her & her son made this a great experience for me.

Charged over $1,000 for alterations- which was not the price expressed during the first fitting…read more She didn't even sew in the cups to my dress (they fell out before the wedding) and left a large hole in my mother's gown that was not noticed until the day of the wedding. The owner responded to this review stating that final fittings are always offered- that was not the case with my situation. We were told to pick up at a specific time and that was it. I also wanted to add that rude comments were made regarding my mother's weight. I've never felt so uncomfortable during an alteration process. It was impossible to schedule with her and she kept pushing out the pickup date. While I appreciated her attempt to accommodate, I wish she had been honest about her ability to complete the alterations. I would not suggest going here if you are looking for clear pricing and attention to detail.

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.
