    Custom dress

    Marcia is one of the most talented and professional dressmakers I have ever met. She was able to make the prom dress of my dreams when I needed one last minute. She made my vision come to life! She has a great attention to detail and care for all her clients. I will definitely be coming back! Marcia is one of the most talented and professional dressmakers I have ever met.

    watters azriel dress, bought off a preowned wedding dress website, altered inexpensively and to perfection by marcia!!

    I bought my wedding dress on a preowned site, and was pretty sure I'd have to take it in, shorten the straps, and shorten all gazillion layers of the skirt, including one small area where the tulle was torn a bit. AND...I needed it done in less than a month, which is a rush job for a wedding dress. Because everything surrounding a wedding is twice as expensive and twice as fraught and takes twice as long.... Turns out, Marcia is the antidote to wedding double-everything fever. She responded quickly and kindly to my yelp message plea, and said it was enough time, and not to worry. THEN, when I brought her the dress, she said: you know, it doesn't even need to be hemmed, and hemming it would cost a lot more (because of the gazillion layers) -- but she could just hem the single layer that had a tear in it, and i'd never know it was torn. She hemmed that layer, shortened the straps, added bra cups, and fixed the waist. In TWO WEEKS, I was back to try it on, and it was ready and fit perfectly. And the price for alterations was SO much less (literally hundreds of dollars less) than the price I was quoted by some other places as a "starting price," without even seeing what needed to be done. It's too bad I didn't know about Marcia from the get-go, because I saw some of the dresses she was making from scratch, and they were beautiful. She knows her stuff!! And she's just a lovely person, and her calm rubs off on you. Also, she has a really cute cat.

    Marcia added sleeves, fixed the bust area, added a waist ribbon lining and cinching for easier zip, hemmed, and added a bustle.

    Marcia is magic. I needed alterations on my wedding dress. The fancy Hollywood boutique where I bought it wanted to charge me so much even the shop girl recommended I go elsewhere. Marcia is very affordable, fast and detailed. She actually called me soon after the first fitting to let me know she had finished the work we discussed ahead of schedule. I was able to come in early and get my dress much sooner than most places. I threw a curve ball at Marcia with an unusual bustle. We problem solved together and she made it work. I casually mentioned the waist was a bit itchy and she added a soft ribbon the cover the itchy seam. She does extra little things like that for her customers that really make a difference when you wear the dress for 12 hours straight.

    Marcia is hands down the best seamstress, talented designer, & best value anywhere. Plus she is a true pleasure to work with. She tailored my wedding dress in the Summer/Fall of 2015, as well as my matron of honor's dress. I now bring her everything, including vintage, coats, dresses and beaded purses, whether they need a few alterations or intricate work. She also knows about care and cleaning. I first found her through the Yelp page in her West Hollywood location, but she is totally worth the 30 minute drive out to Inglewood. Marcia's knowledge of couture technique and fashion is AWESOME! Thank you so much for everything, Marcia!

    Marcia did a great job helping choose and design the perfect wedding dress for me! I just loved it. She is a really good tailor and have years of experience. She doesn't have the best organize system or calendar so make sure you tell her everything you are expecting and she will know how to help you out.

    Marcia made my wedding dress and everyone LOVED it!

    Marcia is a genius! She made my wedding dress -- which was not an easy dress to make, mind you, requiring a lot of very sharp tailoring -- and it was PERFECTION. Working with her was a breeze: her personality is great, she knows everything and she met with me enough times to make sure that everything I dreamed of in the dress came to life. Marcia's prices were very reasonable, and a steal for the level of service and design she brings to the table. She is also both knowledgeable and willing to work with input. I was involved in the process the entire time. I went with her to the fabric store to pick the dress material to insure that I loved it and that the quality and price were great. I showed her several pictures for inspiration and we discussed elements of the dress together, and all in all it was the best experience I could have asked for. I can't recommend her work highly enough!

    View of the vail. You can also see the lace she added on to my otherwise very plan straps and you can see the beads she added in.

    I brought a wedding dress from a discount dress store with the full intent of changing the top part. After calling around and being told by many other alteration places that they couldn't have the dress ready in time, I finally found Marcia. I was planning on eloping and needed the dress ready in about two months. She made my dress so beautiful and had enough time to make a veil! She was my angel! Very reasonable price. Everybody loved my dress, especially my husband. She completely understood the look I wanted and even suggested adding little beads. It's the details people! Lol I plan on going back for a bridesmaid dress I need altered for my brothers wedding.

    Before tailored. Too tight in the belly and the shoulder too long.(pinned in the picture)

    I originally tried on my wedding dress in a LG size at the store with all the clips they put on the back and loved it! I ended up ordering it through the phone a few days later with the measurements they had taken of me. They told me I needed a smaller size then what I normally order, I was flattered, so I went with it! Upon arrival, it took me a while to try it on but when I finally did, it and it was SO tight! It made me uncomfortable, it marked all my trouble/ insecurity zones. It was too late to exchange or return it.... I was so sad...But I found Márcia! She tailored it to the T! Looked Better then what I ever thought it could! I am so very grateful of her skills! I also got a one piece tailored with her for the rehearsal. Loved it too, she gave it shape! Trust her, she wants you to look hot;)

    I can't say enough about Marcia and her excellent work. I knew from the day she measured my daughter for a custom couture gown that we were in excellent hands. Marcia paid extremely close attention to detail and made sure the fit was to perfection. She offered suggestions and modifications that only enhanced the vision we had for the prom dress. Her mission is to make her customers happy and will go above and beyond to make sure of that. I was a little late getting the dress started, but she made certain we had it back well before the day of the event. Many thanks to you Marcia!!!

    Before alterations. Big baggy wedding dress.

    I have been meaning to write this review for almost a year. Marcia is a wonderfully gifted person and i wish i knew about her talents sooner. I bought an off the rack dress for my wedding and due to some weightloss needed alterations as the dress just hung on my body. Not flattering. Marcia altered my gown in all the right places and the dress fit like a glove! My off the rack gown became one of a kind and I felt beautiful on my big day. I highly recommend Marcia's services. Her work speaks for itself. You will not be dissapointed!

    Marcia is absolutely AMAZING! i had never gotten a dress made before and i noticed all the good reviews on yelp so i decided to come to her to make my prom dress...she DEFINITELY lives up to the reviews. she is with you every step of the way. on my first visit she took my measurements & she gave me a list of places i could find my fabric. By the second visit my dress was already almost done. the dress fit me PERFECTLY and made me look FANTASTIC. she also added ties in the dress so i would not have to be holding the train up all night! (that was a relief let me tell ya) she has many years of experience and it really shows in her work. she also made my boyfriend's bow-tie and handkerchief (showed in pictures). thank you Marcia!

    Marcia did a perfect job on my wedding dress and for a very reasonable price! She's also super sweet and great to work with. Marcia hemmed the dress and took in the bodice and straps. Everything fit wonderfully for the wedding day and was done in a very timely manner. Would definitely recommend!

    Rehearsal dress (tightened halter/top that was too loose)

    Marcia is such a pleasure to work with. She made my wedding gown and helped with alterations with my traditional Nigerian reception gown and my rehearsal dinner dress at a fair price. The alterations to my reception dress where challenging and she did it without hesitating. The train on my wedding gown is loooong and she managed to create a bustle that works perfectly. I can't wait to wear it next weekend. Marica is a true artist - diligent with her work and great at explaining the process. I will return to her for alterations in the future and recommend her without hesitation.

    UNIQLO has opened another store, this time in Westfield Culver City. I actually went to the…read moreWestfield Topanga last weekend for the UNIQLO grand opening and I have to say the other location had better promotions and sales. This grand opening does include similar treats like a free UNIQLO tote, free goodies like chips and mochi, and a Taiko Drum performance. I did buy some more stuff because this store location did provide a nice deal on the cotton boxer briefs. You can tell that the black was popular and so there was only a few navy left, so I was able to grab a few. I think the store still needs to work out its kinks with the self register because it was still adding items to my cart that I clearly did not have. This has happened in the other UNIQLO stores too, so I think it's a bit too sensitive. Overall, I really like UNIQLO and welcome the addition to the mall!

    I used to love shopping at Nordstrom Rack in the Fox Hills Mall (Westfield Culver City). I've been…read morea loyal customer for years and every visit I'd easily spend $400+ without any issues. Unfortunately, an experience about two years ago completely changed how I feel about this store. During my last visit, I was racially profiled and followed throughout the store by two asset protection employees (one male and one female). I have no idea why I was singled out. Despite being treated that way, I still purchased around $600 worth of items that day. What made it even more upsetting was seeing one of them waiting near the front door as I was leaving, as if they expected me to do something wrong. I even waved and laughed in disbelief because it was so obvious. He stood at the door after following me, once the second person started following me, then left that post after I walked out with my purchased items. What's even more frustrating is that I saw someone else (same ethnicity as the security that were following me) in the store actually stealing items, but because they were so focused on watching me, they completely ignored her. I saw her walk right out the door after stuffing her pockets and purse with stolen items. Unbelievable! That experience was disappointing. I left the store wishing I hadn't spent a dime there. Since then, I've never returned to that location. I even tried shopping at the Nordstrom Rack on Fig at 7th downtown recently, and unfortunately experienced the same thing, being followed around the store. Because of these experiences, I've decided I will no longer shop at Nordstrom Rack or Nordstrom. No customer who is spending their hard-earned money should feel targeted or profiled while simply trying to shop. Prior to the incident where I was followed around the store, I had another frustrating experience at this location. On a previous visit, I purchased clothes and other items. When I walked out, the alarm at the door went off, but another customer was exiting at the same time so I assumed it was related to her purchase. I had two bags of clothes and other items, and didn't notice anything unusual when I quickly checked my bags. About a month later, when I went to wear one of the dresses, I discovered the security sensor was still attached. It was black and blended in with the dress, which is probably why I didn't notice it earlier. I then checked the other clothes and two more dresses that I hadn't worn yet and found that they also still had sensors attached, hidden on the slip of the dress. I returned to the store to have them removed, but initially the staff refused because I didn't have the receipt. Fortunately, I had used my Nordstrom credit card and they were able to look up the purchase and finally remove the sensors. This situation could have been avoided if the employee had properly checked the dresses (since they hide their sensors) before bagging them. These are higher-priced items that typically have sensors attached, so you would think staff would be trained to know where the sensors are placed. But I don't totally blame the staff because they were hidden. Why not make them visible? Why place a black sensor on a black dress? Customers shouldn't have to inspect their purchases for security tags after leaving the store. Goodbye, Nordstroms! It was fun while it lasted.
