Marie was amazing. I was in a time crunch and she was able to alter the dress of my dreams. She is so kind and we just talked the whole time and it was so memorable. I got her contact from a bridal boutique I bought my dress from Lovely Bride and they raved about her.

Marie did such an amazing job making my dress fit like a glove! She was attentive to my concerns and made sure to address each one. It was super easy to schedule appointments as needed. And my guests were OBSESSED with the bustle!

Me and Marie !

Marie does absolutely amazing work! She's so much fun to work with and when you have to go in for fittings, it's so important to find someone you have good rapport with. My dress fit perfectly after she worked on it and I just love the way she did my bustle.

Marie is a genius. We had less than two months until the wedding when I came to and she was able to do three fittings with me. The alterations I needed required her to delicately remove the mesh panel from the boning and she did so and artfully replaced it and got my dress to fit like a glove. She also shortened the dress and bustled it - helping me select the correct bustle for the look of my dress and teaching me how to do it. She was such a sweet person and I loved working with her. Be warned, she has LOTS of clients, so you may be trying on your dress as someone else is hopping out of hers. Also be aware that this type of handiwork is not cheap! However, I felt stunning on my wedding day and it was in huge part thanks to Marie.

Marie was AMAZING!!! Hands down the best thing about my wedding (besides marrying my husband of course) was my dress!!!!!! I bought a dress off Amazon for $100 and she made it a DREAM! She hemmed it (which had a lot of layers), added detachable sleeves, added material to the bust for less cleavage, and added bones. And she is so sweet!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND Marie, she is a magician and worth every single penny! Photos by Katie Jackson Photography

Marie helped tailor my wedding dress from BHLDN as well as a qipao from etsy. She is so kind and informative. I felt so comfortable working with her through this dress tailoring process. She's very knowledgable helping me talk out different ideas I had and her giving her honest opinion as well as supportive. I had an amazing time working with her and I felt that her prices were extremely reasonable for the amount of care and effort she puts into making you feel amazing on your big day. Her professionalism as well as friendliness is what I think of most whenever I think of her :)

Marie is an angel and I wish I was getting married again just so I could spend more time with her and see what miracles she would work on my next dress. I came to Marie after deciding to get a different wedding dress with less than 3 months until the I dos and it was one of the best experiences I've ever had at a tailor. Marie made time for me when she had none, she treated me like an immediate friend and most importantly her incredible skills made me super confident in wearing the dress that she tailored perfectly. I was so happy with the end product and Marie worked tirelessly to get it done perfectly and on time. Can't recommend her enough

Blurry - but you can see the bustle in this one a little bit. 5 pickups on the first layer, 3 in the middle, and 1 on the inside.

Marie was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING when it came to fixing my dress. There was a horrible snafu somewhere else and it arrived damaged from the manufacturer, and then the original company gave me the run around for replacing it, so when I finally was able to start alterations it was only 6 weeks before the wedding. Marie got me in for an appointment, and assured me should could finish everything in time. She was so confident and clear in her explanations of what was important, what was optional, etc. Her appointments are different from other places - she pins in sections, so my appointments were bust/sides, then hem, then bustle. She made my dress fit like PERFECTION, and did such an excellent job with my bustle. I was most afraid of how the bustle would look because I've had friends have terrible ones, but there was no need for my concern. Marie KNOWS WHAT SHE IS DOING. During the final appointment, she definitely OVER explains the bustle - be patient; I promise this is necessary. Even though my wedding was only a week later, there were still a few ?? moments during buttoning. Just let her talk and soak it in - you'll need the extra walk through day of, I promise! Thank you again Marie for making my dress fit PERFECTLY!!!!!!

Marie is an angel. She worked with me to make a ton of alterations on my dress. She's absolutely lovely to work with and exudes positive energy. Mt dress could not be more perfect- it hugs all the right curves. Highly recommend :)

Amazing!!!!!! Marie took me in last minute, and she was able to alter my 2 wedding dresses in 3 weeks. Keep in mind, I don't ever get anything altered, why would I? This was my wedding, so I had to, both off the rack items were very loose. She not only executed it but my gosh, she made me a believer of altering anything I wear! Yes , she's that talented and experienced. Thank you Marie for helping me. I'll never forget our time together and I'll never forget your beautiful little baby Yorkie who was so sweet

I worked with Marie to get some alterations done to my wedding gown in 2019. She really knew how to fit the dress to my body and really made it look beautiful while adding a few elements of modesty to my gown, while helping me stay within my budget for my wedding gown. I will recommend her and and again to anyone who asks.

See all

Hi there! Can you make a custom marigold/yellow mustard satin dress?

Same question as Natalia - phone number says mailbox is full. No option of email or a website... how can we make appointments? L

One reviewer said her eyes bugged out at the price, but that comparatively, these were good prices. Can someone give me a price range for what they paid here? Thanks!

Instead, he could have politely said, sorry but that's all I can offer. Then if I choose to say no then I say no, you don't just tell me you can go and turn your back on me. Very disappointed!

He then charged me for the extra repairs. On the positive, he did find a new lace to replace the section removed. The work was nice quality. But a huge mess to manage as a bride. This could all could have been prevented with better notes and organization on his side.

Found my dream dress here!! And within my budget!…read more I went to two bridal shops in San Diego then this was the first I checked out in LA, and didn't need to go anywhere else! I shared some inspiration pics before my first appointment and Sherri immediately knew what I was looking for and pulled great options for me to try. I quickly found my top choice and came back a few days later to make the purchase. Sherri was very knowledgeable about every dress in her shop and supported me every step of the decision. I felt so confident saying yes to the dress here! This is a hidden gem tucked away in Sawtelle. It's not pretentious but rather a casual and relaxed atmosphere with fairly priced dresses and accessories. I also love that they do alterations in house. Will come back to share pics after I get married in 2027 if I remember!

There has never been a more penny pinching and less moral booking policy.

We booked an appointment 4 or 5 days ahead of time, as there was full availability on the calendar for weekdays. There is a 48 hour cancellation window, and at hour 47 we realized that the timing conflicted slightly with a work matter (when we made the appointment we were in New York and miscalculated the time difference). An email was sent at the 47th hour (1 hour after the window), mentioning the issue and asking if it could still be canceled since it was so close to the window, and apologizing for missing the window. The owner replied and specifically said "No problem, we've gone ahead and canceled the appointment for you". At this point, we figured all was well as they made no mention of still charging the fee. A few weeks later, we noticed the charge was still there. A quick email reply came when we inquired saying it was past their window and no refund was due. IF this was the case, why did the original email not say so and why did they make 0 effort to reschedule or ask if another time worked better? OR we could have made it work if she hadn't responded so positively. What a slimy way to make a quick $27 for nothing. I will restate that the calendar was still really really open (ie, it was not a highly sough after appointment slot taken from anyone else even on the off chance they were booking in the 2-4 days out window). Overall, it is a blessing the appointment didn't happen after reading some of these reviews about how the owner acts in person (no surprise there). Ended up with a beautiful dress from Berta and would highly recommend their new LA showroom on Beverly.
