Dress of my Dreams
I would recommend Maria to any future bride. She is attentive, funny, honest and her expertise in the bridal arena was so apparent. I got married in August and was very particular about what I wanted in a dress but Maria encouraged me to try on everything. In the end, I chose a dress I never would have thought of and I looked like a princess on my wedding day. I received nothing but compliments on my dress and I felt like the most beautiful bride. I am plus size and Maria's inventory included various dress sizes and styles. I chose a strapless dress and as someone who is quite top heavy, Maria tailored my dress to ensure I could dance all night long without my dress falling. And dance all night I certainly did! Not only did I purchase my wedding gown but my mother and daughter also found their dresses at Maria's shop. Everyone looked wonderful on my wedding day thanks to Maria. -

What Maria is capable of doing is pure magic! When I had first gotten my wedding dress, it was absolutely huge on me (at my pick-up appointment, Maria told me that she had taken off about half of the material from my initial fitting). Maria completely reconstructed my dress, taking in the top, bottom, sides, and cups, which was an extremely tricky undertaking as the material was very unforgiving. One the day of, my dress fit absolutely perfectly, and I received sooo many compliments on it. I truly couldn't be happier with the work that she did. Just when I thought I couldn't fall any deeper in love with my dress, Maria made it possible to do so. In addition to her stunning work, Maria is kind, funny, incredibly hardworking, professional, and extremely talented. Thank you Maria for allowing me to have the dress of my dreams! I have gushed about your work to everyone I know! We are so lucky to have such a talented person like her in our area! -

Maria is AMAZING! After reading her reviews online, I decided to travel an hour to have her alter my wedding dress. I am so happy I did! I lost 40 pounds for my wedding and she was able to alter my dress perfectly! Her attention to details is unmatched! Maria made a blusher out of my moms veil after our dry cleaner burned it (her beautiful idea). Her calming, sweet personality made the dress alterations stress free. Highly highly highly recommend her!!! -

Wonderful experience
Maria is an incredible seamstress and person. She pays attention to every detail and she altered my gown (a very form fitting dress) to fit me absolutely perfectly for my wedding day. The whole process of alterations was a great experience and Maria made me feel comfortable the entire time. I am so thankful I found Maria to alter my wedding dress and I would recommend her to anyone! Thank you, Maria ! -

Maria is a fabulous seamstress and did a perfect job on my wedding dress! We were under a very strict time constraint being that I live out of state and was only home for a limited amount of time before leaving for our wedding in Aruba. Maria was able to accommodate my needs wonderfully. Along with my dress Maria also did multiple dresses for my sister, and mother along with my brother and fathers suits for the wedding. The dress fit me perfectly and I was so happy with the results! Since we were traveling for the wedding Maria packed up my dress and veil to reduce the amount of wrinkling so we were able to put it into a carry on suit case. I couldn’t recommend Maria more! -

Maria and her team are AMAZING. My MOH and I knew we were at the right place when we walked in and saw Quince dresses in the front of the shop. My dress was too big, and then I lost weight for my wedding; Maria took 10inches out of the dress, re making it no less than 3 times. She payed such close attention to the fit, and as we approached my big day I felt so comfortable in my dress. Plus she put in POCKETS!! My mother made my veil, and for no extra charge Maria attached it to a much better comb. All this work, and honestly I had expected to pay double the final price. She made sure I was comfortable and happy in my dress and with my whole look, and made what could have been a stressful experience so pleasant. Thank you So Much!!! -

I would recommend Maria 100000000 times over to anyone looking for a special occasion dress. I couldn’t believe that I was able to fine my perfect dress, I thought it was going to be such a stressful experience but Maria made it so fun and easy. She listened to everything I wanted while also giving her professional opinion and put me in the dress of my dreams! I don’t think I could ever thank her enough! -

The one phone call you don't want to get the morning of your wedding is one being told that your dress is ruined and you can't wear it. Maria offered to drop my dress off the day of to ensure it was not wrinkled, but instead I woke up to a phone call from her sister at 6AM the morning of telling me that my dress was ruined, there was a huge stain on it that she couldn't get out and they had no idea how it got there, and she was unsure if I could wear it that day and that she would be bringing alternatives for me that she had in her shop. Devastated was an understatement, my whole morning with my family and friends was spent upset and panicked wondering what I would do and when she would show up with the dress so I could see how bad it was. I wound up being able to wear the dress, luckily the stain was at the bottom and I was willing to accept that rather than not wear it, but even aside from that, it was too long and dragged, after going to at least 7 fittings, and when it was bustled my foot kept getting stuck and I kept tripping, I wound up just having to take my shoes off. Luckily, all of my other vendors were so amazing, the day was beautiful and wonderful despite Maria and the handling of this situation. She just went about it so poorly and didn't even face me directly, her sister spoke with my mother and myself the whole morning, and even since that day she never called once to apologize. And even after all of that, I am still having trouble getting reimbursed for the cost of an expensive dress I worked hard for and now has no value due to a stain that can't be removed. While I know this was an accident, I could never recommend her. An apology goes a long way, and Maria never even bothered to reach out with one.
