Touch Of Class Bridal & Alterations

Mari is an amazing seamstress!!!!!! I highly recommend her services to anyone needing alterations.My dress looks amazing after her work. She had it done in less than week and it was a ball gown. Her rates are up to 70% less than any other shop. She is very professional and her work is just perfect!!!!!!

I ordered my wedding dress online, and it came way too big and with many discrepancies from what I thought I was ordering. Mari was able to restyle my dress to my specifications and fit it to perfection. She was enthusiastic, friendly, and affordable. I highly recommend A Touch of Class alterations to Phoenix area brides!

I had the most wonderful experience with Mari at Touch of Class Alterations. From my first visit I felt comfortable with her and being able to tell her how I wanted my dress to fit the day of my wedding. I left my dress with her on a Saturday and scheduled my 2nd fitting for the following week. Well she did an amazing job! And I was able to take my dress home with me that day ! She is the best! I told my bridesmaids about her and that the drive is well worth it! Truly happy..

Mari was excellent to work with! I felt very comfortable working with her and in her home. It was nice not going into a shop where I felt pressure to do something I wasn't sure of. It was very casual, but professional and an excellent value! I would recommend her to any bride, she did an fabulous job on my dress and I'm so excited to wear it:)

Mari was great..so friendly and very professional! Davids bridal wanted $90 to alter my bridesmaids dresses and I paid way less with Mari, her prices are fair and reasonable. She also altered my wedding dress at a great price.

Mari was so easy to work with - and she is fast!!!!!

Let me just say first - I LOVE THIS WOMAN! She is fantastic! I totally overlooked my dress alterations and waited until last minute (and when I say last minute, I mean a week before the wedding) to try on my dress. When I got my dress, I had lost 20 pounds, and 6 months later, I gained it back. I was also too short for the dress and didn't have a bustle. It was all the way in Anthem almost, but her work was worth it! She was so friendly and so genuinely interested in helping you have a wonderful day. She told me about the years she put in working for a wedding gown shop, showed me her other work of gowns she even made (which were all beautiful!), and got my dress done with a couple days to spare from the wedding. Her prices were very affordable for what I was asking (everyone else said it would be a rush fee). My husband loved the dress! She also was very responsive to my e-mails and would contact me in a couple hours of my e-mail. I love this woman, and if I were to do this wedding all over again, I wouldn't pick anyone else but her. Thank you, Mari! You are a life saver!

Mari was amazing!!!! I took my dress to her with 3 weeks to go before my wedding, and I even needed to have the dress taken out a little. Due to the detailing on my dress, I was beyond stressed that nothing could be done. Mari assured me that she could make it work, and it would be done in time for my big date. She even wanted to schedule my pick up a week later!!! I felt so confident when I walked into her house and saw her dresses she designed. I thought, if she can make these, then Im in good hands! I also needed my reception dress hemmed. She was verify reasonable, and I would recommend her to anyone! Well worth the drive, its all freeway anyway!!! Thanks Mari!!!

Mari was great! Everything turned out very nice!

Mari's alteration work is definitely worth the drive. She is always smiling and so excited to make your dress perfect. She strives to make her clients comfortable and happy and her experience shows in the quality of her work. I had about 6 things to do with my dress including making a flower to add to my birdcage veil from fabric of my dress, adding silk buttons to the back of my dress, removing tulle, hemline, etc. She was finished in 2 weeks and everything was perfect. She told me to come back 2-4 weeks before my wedding next year for any other alterations, rather than months in advance like other salons. Also, her prices are UNBEATABLE! Attention brides: Do not attempt to go anywhere else! Thank you so much, Mari!

Mari did such an amazing job altering my dress! I bought a sample gown size 12 and she was able to alter it down to a size 0! The dress fit like a glove on my wedding day and I loved it so much:) She was very patient and attentive to making it fit exactly how I wanted. Thank you Mari for doing such a great job!

I just needed a simple bustle and did not want to pay a lot for it. Touch of class was very reasonably priced and prompt. I was definitely satisfied with the end product and service.

Mari performed a work of magic and in such a short time frame, she made alterations to a sample dress I bought online, added a gorgeous lace up corset in place of a zip-up back which made the dress fit me and added a beautiful and unique touch to the dress. I love the online appointment setting. She is also very quick so as a busy bride you can get other things done and not have to worry about your dress.

Mari was wonderful. My sister and I used her services to alter my wedding dress and my sister's bridesmaid dress. We met with her one Saturday and our dresses were ready the next Saturday. She is located a little way's away from me, but it was worth it.

Mari is the fairy godmother you've been searching for when it comes to your dress. Every bit of her 20 plus years of experience shows in her professionalism and skill, but you certainly don't have to pay through the nose to benefit from either. I couldn't afford the dress of my dreams, but found one that pretty much had everything I wanted in a wedding dress. Although I liked my dress, I wasn't in love with it or the way I looked in it. When it came in the mail, it was too big and the bodice was totally wrong. The skirt had a delicate lace overlay over the satin and both of those were too long. Since I was only a few weeks away from my wedding, I was getting pretty worried. All that changed the instant Mari opened the door and greeted me with her warm and welcoming smile. Her enthusiasm for my dress and me personally were so sincere it was contagious. She was friendly, quick, efficient and it was extremely clear--both from the way she pinned my dress and the exquisite bead work found on some of the custom dresses she had displayed--that she would offer not just experience but passion for her work as well. She promised to remove the bust cups from the bodice and fix the sides of the dress. Since I didn't have a petticoat yet, she offered to schedule me in for a second appointment the second it arrived so she could measure the hem. Since all of my bridesmaids and my mom were in another state, I asked Mari if she would mind snapping a few pictures of me in my dress to send to them. She was not only totally ok with that, but even waited for me to change out of the dress--and then back in to it--when I realized I had left my phone in my car. She even took pictures with her own camera and emailed them to me immediately. A few days later, I found out my petticoat would not arrive on time. Panicking, I called Mari and asked if she could build on into the dress by maybe adding a few layers of tulle. She simply said it was possible and it would add about two days to the pick-up date. And sure enough, just over a week later I came to pick up my dress and couldn't believe it!! The petticoat, the hem, everything was perfect. After she was done with it (and pressed it for an EXTREMELY reasonable rate), it didn't even seem like the same dress! Suddenly, I fell in love with a dress I had previously thought was just ok and was excited to wear it. The most shocking thing about Mari was her prices--I was stunned at how affordable all of the alterations, including the custom petticoat--were. I had based my alteration budget on several major places, and Mari did more work for about $200 less than I thought I would need! When it comes to A Touch of Class Bridal Alterations, you're not getting what you pay for, you're getting so much more. You never feel like just another bride with just another dress.

Mari was amazing!!! From our first conversation I could tell that she would be great to work with. She is super friendly and kind. I waited until the last minute to have my dress altered and Mari got me in just days after I initially called her, at a time that was convenient for me. I live in Gilbert and for whatever reason thought she was in Mesa so when i left my house for my first appointment I figured it would take me about 15 minutes to get to her. When i realized that she was in North Phoenix I panicked. It would take me over an hour to get there!! I called her to let her know how late I would be and assumed that she would need to reschedule. Well, she didn't. She was so understanding and nice and said that whenever I got there, she would take care of me. Well, I arrived about an hour late for my appointment but Mari treated me great anyway :) She listened to what I wanted then made some recommendations based on my dress style. She also took into consideration what would be most cost effiicient for me- which frankly surprised me. She got my hem and bustle done in less than a week!! I went for my first appointment Saturday, she had it done by Thursday morning!! And it was perfect. I can't say enough nice things about Mari. I would recommend her in a heartbeat!!

Mari is a lifesaver! I made appointments with Mari before my dress arrived. When the dress was late in being shipped to me, Mari easily adjusted my appointments and worked with my time crunch. To my horror, the dress I received was in corset-back, instead of the zipper-back I had ordered. It was too late to send back and get the correct dress, so I asked Mari to replace the corset with a zipper. She did this with perfection, you couldn't even tell. Unfortunately, changing the corset-back to zipper-back made the dress 2 sizes too small around the chest by default, due to the way the corset-back takes fabric out of the dress. I was very concerned, but Mari assured me we could make it work. Mari let out the dress on the sides of the torso, but the dress was still too small. I was devastated and so upset, wondering if my wedding dress wouldn't fit me. I asked Mari to be as creative as possible to make the dress fit. She ultimately took fabric leftover from shortening my train and added it into the zipper. There were appliques near the zipper which she was able to use to cover up the added fabric. It looked flawless and the dress fit me perfectly! All in all, she worked quickly to add a zipper from a corset, let out the dress on the sides, add fabric back into the zipper, shorten my train and replace several appliques, hem my dress, and she also altered my reception dress. All in three or four appointments and at a very reasonable price. She was so friendly and empathized in my worry and shared in my excitement. Mari saved my dress, my sanity, and my wedding day! I am forever grateful to her, and I would recommend her 200% to anyone.

Mari at Touch of Class Alterations is fantastic, super knowledgeable and I felt completely secure leaving my dress in her hands. She knew eaxactly what had to be done to make my dress fit perfectly and was incredibly fast - she had the alterations done and my dress ready to be picked up in a week! I met with Mari first to have my measurements taken as I was ordering my dress from an online vendor. Mari was extremely professional and friendly and reassured me that if anything needed to be done to my dress once I received it, she would take care of it and have it look exactly how I wanted it. My dress came about 4 weeks before my wedding and was a little big in the bodice. Mari assured me that once the alterations were finished it would fit perfectly, and it did. Mari is super sweet, she is genuinely happy for you and wants you to love your dress. Her prices are super reasonable and her work is flawless.

If you are thinking of alterations at a bridal store would be easier than searching for a professional seamstress, think again. I found Mari's ad on Craigslist and although I was a bit hesitant, it was an amazing experience. Mari is very professional and just a truly sweet person who worked to alter my dress so that I would love it. She was very patient and professional. I didn't think I wanted a veil until I saw the veils that she makes. I found a veil that perfectly complimented my dress. I have to say that it was very affordable. My total alterations were $140 (bustle, hemmed, altered boddess, and beading.). I have already recommended her to others and I hope that you have the great experience I did!

she is wonderful I Know mari for 2 years she do very good work she have alat experiencie she is very good simstre
