Mary is a true artist and understands her craft. Throughout our fitting sessions, she always listened and gave positive and helpful feedback on how to alter my dress for best fit as well as for how I wanted to feel and look on the day. I was able to walk, sit, eat, and dance my butt off all night comfortably. She fit this dress SO WELL. It hugged my curves and made me feel like a model. I never wanted to take it off. Truly a stunning outcome and I cannot recommend her enough.
If you are lucky enough to get an appointment with Mary, you will not regret having her as your wedding gown seamstress. Every appointment was a calm and professional experience. She's a delightful person and an expert at her craft. I never felt rushed and always felt as though I had her complete attention and focus. She went above and beyond to deliver the dress of my dreams! Combined with her very reasonable prices, I am confident there is not a better choice for your wedding dress alterations in Chicago (and I went to multiple places to get quotes). Reach out early!
Mary did the alterations on my silk wedding dress, and did such a fabulous job! She is very thorough and attentive to detail, and with her communication. We met over several appointments to get my dress to fit just right. I most appreciated the way she steamed and packaged my dress up to be able to take as a carryon on a plane. It was soooo helpful! I cannot recommend her enough, she is wonderful!
