Marla is the best, she has been doing my family’s alterations for 10yrs+. From my daughter’s dance competition gear, my wife’s outfits and all my jeans, Tommy Bahamas, slacks and more… she has kept me in my cloths from 270lbs down to 220lbs. Great work, better than the designers who make it, I highly recommend her. She did 3 lulu slacks for me today, from unwearable to PERFECT!! Thank you Marla! Tom Burns
I’ve been going to Maral for all of my alternation needs for over 20 years. She has always been the most professional and the best seamstress out there!! I would 100% recommend!!!
I always recommend Maral for alternation needs! She is by appointment only so don’t forget to give her a call before hand! I’ve been coming to her for over 10+ years and every time she greets myself and my family with open arms and an always positive spirit. She gets everything done in a very timely matter and handles with such care! From uniforms to bridesmaid dresses she has you covered! (:
In response to a review where a woman felt she was being disrespected due to her religion and culture, this was 100% not the situation. I was in the shop when this occurred and Maral expressed that she does not take walk ins when the woman asked, but she would be happy to help her. Not once did Maral state she would not help and instead was trying to accommodate the woman with her needs in a very friendly manner. This interaction alone let me know that in a pinch I would be able to rely on the services Maral provides.
Very rude Unwelcoming and very disrespectful She made me feel unwelcome when she saw me wearing a hijab. Definitely not recommending her
Called and she told me she is no longer alternating wedding dresses. She was sweet at first then I asked her if she could recommend someone else and she said “no it’s okay” then hung up. That made me sad since I was recommended to her.
What a great first time experience I had. Maral is also a very sweet and wonderful person to deal with. I was nervous at first hoping that my suit pant could be taken back out at the waist. I was put at ease by the number of years she's been doing alterations and by looking at some of the clothes there waiting to be altered, which speak for themselves. So I decided to give her the opportunity. She didn't disappoint and my pants fit perfectly! I would like to add that she did look at them first in order to let me know if they had enough material to be able to be taken out. Rather than simply saying yes and messing them up in the process. Thank you Maral! I will definitely think of her business again if I need anything else that needs altering.
Hemmed a bride's maid dress for me and created a slit in it. Both part of the alterations were done amazingly. I got many compliments at the wedding.
Always does a great job!
