Marie’s By Design

I came to Marie with a bridesmaid’s dress which was beautiful but with a plunging neckline. I’m too endowed for that and knew I would have to add some fabric in the center to keep it tasteful. Not only did Marie suggest a good fabric store for me but together we designed part of the bodice of what became one of the most beautiful dresses of the wedding. It wasn’t cheap but she does great work and can get it done quickly. She also listens well and will collaborate with you to make your vision shine. She hemmed the bottom of the dress as well. Marie also validates parking.

Brought my Italian Michael Shannons that were on their last limb here. Wear every other day trading black for brown and running around a hotel property. Put them through some heavy use. All the fun that come with a snowy winter in TN. Cracked soles holes, heel rubbed through and scratched to hell.
Marie’s a magician cobbler. New sole, fine polish, level my heel and restored better than original state. Oh and she stayed open late since my work schedule is out of whack.
Exceeded my expectations with service and expertise. Spend the money have it done right. Thanks Marie!

Very disappointing. I went in to get a bridesmaid dress taken in by an inch. She says it will take about a week, but she’ll let me know when it’s done. A week goes by. I had to call to ask if it’s ready… this is unusual. It’s three days before the wedding and the dress is now about two sizes too small! Her stitching may be good, but her professionalism and measuring work is below sub par. I know she has good reviews, and maybe it was a bad day… but I will not go to this establishment again.

I am so glad I found Marie on Unilocal.I had to be in Atlanta for a little over three weeks and did not want to pay hotel prices for laundry or to have to find a self service laundromat and do myself. When I saw that she had wash and fold laundry services next to my hotel, I decided to try it out. I ended up using the service twice and couldn’t be more satisfied. Clothes were returned fresh and clean and neatly folded. Plus she is a wonderful person to work with.

Marie is awesome!!! She is super friendly, fast and provides quality care for your garments! She is always smiling when I go in and just makes you feel good!
She can get your items done very quickly which is a great thing for is!
She also validates your parking too!
I highly recommend her!

Marie is a very talented seamstress and a great person to boot. I’ve been a happy customer for many years. She earns her five star rating through quality service. I’ve used Marie mainly for alterations, but also for other sewing jobs. Recently, I needed half my wardrobe altered after losing a size (yay!). She did a great job, and the clothes fit me better than if I’d bought them new.

I love Ms. Marie! She is such a sweet lady and she altered my birthday dress to perfection! She definitely gained a customer for life! I highly recommend her!

Great hours and prompt turn around! Owner operated with great customer service. I get all my clothing tailored there and the pricing is great for the high quality work done! Excellent location with Free Parking!

I love Marie.
I brought her a dress that I ordered from the internet
It was a wreck!
I bought fabrics and showed her a picture of how I want the dress to look like and she did it to me just like I wanted. All my guests were amazed and i have not stopped getting Compliments.
Marie was amazing and patient
Since I was 5 months pregnant and I didn’t stops growing she did every day repairs
I really love her
Thank you for everything

Brought my jeans to a few places to get taken in and was never happy and then a friend recommended Marie. I could not be happier with the way she takes in my jeans!!! I will never take my jeans anywhere else.

When I arrived in Atlanta in 2010, I had no idea where to go for anything, including where to have my clothes dry cleaned and tailored. I asked the apartment complex’s front desk and the manager recommended Marie’s By Design.
That was one of the best recommendations I have been given since moving to Atlanta. Marie’s simply has never let me down. The quality of her work is first rate. She does all of the dry cleaning and tailoring. My clothes are always perfectly pressed and spotless.
As far as tailoring, she is one of the best. Ninety-​five percent of the time, my clothes are perfect within the first alternation. However, if something needs to be taken in just a little more or hemmed a little extra, she does it readily and happily. Again, never let down. On two separate occasions, I destroyed a pair a linen and seersucker pants beyond repair. Marie offered to make them into shorts. Now those pairs are my most favored shorts to wear.
Two years ago, I moved to a location further away from Marie’s and there was another dry cleaners in walking distance of my condo. After using those cleaners a few times, I decided the extra drive is well worth having your clothes cleaned and tailored properly. I’ve been using her services since then without fail.
Highly recommended.

The first time I saw Marie, a friend say she created a monster. And she did, ever since she tailored a shirt for me, I kept on coming back for more. There’s nothing like the feeling of perfectly tailored clothes. She is super friendly and prompt and knows exactly what she is doing. I recommend her services and great friendly smile to everyone.

I met Marie within the first few months of moving to Atlanta. Since then I’ve gained a skilled tailor and a trusted friend. She greets me with a hug and works with my procrastination to get me what I need in time. Over the years that has ranged from a suit needing to be tailored and slimmed to swim shorts, dress shirts, and even making a floor pillow from one piece of rug. She’s creative, upbeat, and helpful. My wardrobe and life is finer with her friendship. I’ve also introduced and brought friends to her for business and she treats them like loved family. She is a great tailor and even better person.

I found Marie to be very personable and customer service oriented. She’s done many alterations for me and was perfect everytime.
I just enjoy her passion and knowlegde for what she does. If you are looking for someone to do your alterations or drycleaning, Marie’s by Design is where you want to go. You will not be disappointed.

I’ve been going to her for 10 years and she is a fantastic seamstress. Her prices are great and she can pretty much do anything that involves fabric!!! Oh, and she’s sweet, kind and a hard worker!!!

Marie made a custom cropped blouse for me for a wedding I attended in Miami. I came to her about a month before the wedding, and she walked me through everything from where to buy the right fabric to the height at which she would cut the material so it would complement the pencil skirt. There were about 3 – 4 appointments from initial conversation to final fittings.
Marie is a sweet woman and talented seamstress. She was great to work with, and I’m so glad I came to her for this blouse. I got so many compliments on my outfit during the wedding. It was exactly what I wanted at a very reasonable price.

I like how personal yet efficient Marie is as a business woman. She’ll remember everything you want in your order, and make sure it comes out perfect.
