Ale Maria’s Fine Tailoring

Had some patches sewn on several sports jerseys. Didn’t turn out very well at all. Really disappointed.

I would give Maria and her business 5 MORE stars if I could. She is such a sweet and delightful woman who truly cares about her clients. My experience with Maria was nothing but pleasant, to the point. She is such an incredibly SKILLED tailor that it took her literally 10 seconds to do her markings and when I told her I need another site fixed she looked at it and without even marking anything she said «i know how to fix that». I was excited to see if she would be able to actually do the job there and amazingly enough she hit it out of the park. Sooo IMPRESSIVE! I’m lucky she’s close to my house. I will ALWAYS go to her from now on. Love her so much!

Although they couldn’t help me here the lady working at the counter was very helpful. She didn’t want me to ruin my dress with the alterations I was asking for so she took some time to give me suggestions! Great place and very friendly staff!

Exceptional skill as a tailor, cash only. I brought my suit into Maria to have it brought in (I’ve lost some weight) and she asked if I wanted it by tomorrow. I had expected it to take at least 3 days. But she insisted she would have it done promptly. I came back and the suit looked perfect and I look dang good in it. Reasonable prices too!

Awesome customer service. She is great and very helpful. Needed to get pants done the same day. Although she was busy she offered to get it done in an hour. I left for about 15 minutes and came back to get her business card and yes my pants were done. Great customer experience. Will recommend.

Maria is great. She’s incredibly talented, quick and courteous.

So happy I found this place. I trust her completely! Had a great experience.
She helped my daughter with her prom dress !!
I will be back :)
We appreciated the kind service and help.

I am short. Pants are always waaaay too long. I have been taking my pants and jeans to Maria since we moved to this area 4 years ago. She always does a wonderful job and is very upfront about her pricing. I would be heartbroken if she ever closed up shop.

She saved me! I tried on my dress the night before a company party. The waist was too large. I had lost a little wait. I didn’t have time to buy another dress so I found her on Google and I was at her door by 9:45am on Saturday. She gave me a more than fair price and had my dress finished and perfect by the afternoon of my party. She saved the night! I will always come back to her.
Tip: It is cash only.

Maria knows her stuff! She is realistic about tailoring requests, quick, efficient, and very reasonably priced. I will be filing her away in my precious gem drawer, like a good hair dresser.

Amazingly wonderful lady. She is very personable and upfront with costs and what would be most beneficial to you as the customer.
I brought a dress in that i thought i needed tailored and to be pulled in in the middle.
I had recently had surgery, so i was still wearing an abdominal binder. She had me try on the dress with the binder and then again with some spanx (which i brought with me) to see the difference and to see where she’d have to take it and such.
She was very upfront and told me that the adjustments would be very minor and showed me in the mirror the seams she’d have to pull in. But, that because of the location and how the dress was sewn, it would require a lot of labor. And, the cost might not be justifiable as it was just a cocktail dress and the difference would be minimal. So, she suggested against the tailoring!
She took notice of little things and gave suggestions so that i could avoid such an unnecessary expense and even gave me a bit of fashion advice to make the outfit more complete and cinch the waist at the same time. (Wearing a belt around the waist of the dress for example).
She took time out of her day and offered to help in any way she could. I never felt rushed, and i wasn’t even a guaranteed customer. I was just there for the consultation, and she treated me like a human being. She evaluated my needs as a customer and put that above her profit.
I can’t speak highly enough of her as a person and a business owner with ethics. I discussed some of my other clothes that need to be taken in as well.
I will definitely come back with more clothing items that i love that need to be taken in to see what she can do.
She is a wonderful lady, and it blessed my heart to know that angels like her exist out there still.

Wonderful work! Took my wedding dress here and she was very professional and had great ideas of how to alter my dress. She did a great job altering it and got it done in two weeks and steam ironed it. Amazing!

Not only is Maria the BEST tailor in town, she is simply a wonderful person. You will not be disappointed.
I brought my very expensive chiffon bridesmaids dress in to her that needed to be taken in about 4 inches around the bust/​hemmed. While I realized the dress was way too big, I didn’t realize that this was probably a mistake on the company who provided me the dress. Long story short, Maria advised me to contact the company and have them pay for the alterations — her logic was why take the measurements if they’re not going to follow them. She was right. I was able to get the company to cover some of the alterations.
Onto the dress — I actually received comments at the wedding that my dress was clearly altered the best in comparison to the other bridesmaids. Honestly, you couldn’t even tell that anything had been touched. I highly highly recommend bringing in any and all of your clothing that needs to be altered. She is truly amazing!

Horrible service and rude. It’s hard to trust that the alterations will get done right when the lady doesn’t make you feel welcomed at all.

Not impressed. I went in to have two pairs of pants hemmed. My wife (who DOES know how to sew but is too busy working to sew these for me) pinned the pants at the correct length. The lady at Ale Maria’s basically refused to sew them because she didn’t want to chance that the hem would be wrong. I agreed that I would even sign a waiver so she could get started, but no.
So, now I have to find another tailor/​alteration shop to do my work.
Update:
I took my pants to Kim’s Custom Tailor Etc 7023 N Litchfield Rd
Glendale, AZ 85 307. My pants were done in two days and they are perfect! Thank you Ale Maria’s for turning me down. I found a place closer to my house that does great work!

I toke my jeans there and I had the idea in my head already but she start telling me what to do and I am like what the heck I want them my way??? Not your way??? Right
WRONG after she finish them for me and I saw what she was meaning I LOOKED LIKE STUPID
This lady beautiful and definitely know what she is doing.

Like many others I found Maria on Unilocal and have nothing but good things to say. I had some beautiful high waisted tweed shorts that were just way too big for me. They were a lot of work as the zipper was on the side and they had double lining so they could not use a simple stitch in the waist. She practically created new shorts for me and did an inseam down the middle. They fit perfectly and you can’t even tell they had work done. She did exact measurements. I was dying to bring them to paris with me but had less than a weeks time. But I brought them to her on a Thursday evening and she had them ready for me by Tuesday!
She also did a quick patch on some jeans that had ripped in the crotch. It’s a forever patch and feels like it’s never going to rip again.
Her work is absoloutely outstanding. I would definitely go back for more.
And she’s such a sweet, cute little lady.
So glad I found her!

This is my first review ever, so it’s saying a lot that I am even writing one. Maria did a fabulous job with my chiffon dress that I needed promptly for a wedding. Not only were her services excellent, she is the most caring lady I have met in a long time. I promise if you go to her you will not be disappointed. I cannot recommend her enough!

I found Maria on the Unilocal site and I am so, so happy I did (thanks to all the reviewers!). I’ve been in AZ two years and had yet to find a seamstress, and Maria is wonderful.
I have a floor length black gown for a black tie wedding in Newport, RI next month and being 5 feet tall (on a good day!), nothing ever fits properly in the dress department. I got lucky ordering it online but it needed inches off of the bottom and the top straps fitted.
I found Maria on here and called to make an appointment. She told me to come in during business hours and she would take care of me. So I made no official appointment. I had gotten a rough estimate of what alterations would be elsewhere, and the prices were up there.
I went in and met Maria, and felt comfortable right away. Very warm and welcoming. She measured quickly, but very precisely. I could tell this woman takes great pride in her work. The prices aren’t «cheap», but they were nowhere near what I would’ve paid elsewhere, and her work is flawless. I got more than what I paid for. My dress fits like a glove– better than my own
wedding dress or any bridesmaid dress I’ve ever had. I cannot recommend this shop enough and will be back within the week with pants, a suit, etc!
PS– I needed my dress a month out and I was worried about that timeframe! I saw she had many things in there to do, and when she asked when I needed it, I told her to take a few weeks no rush. She had it done within days, and it probably would’ve been sooner had I asked. She only takes cash, so that’s something to remember when you go (you should!), and obviously, I’d give this business ten stars if I could.

My experience was just like everyone else’s; fantastic! I came in around 10am needing for my husband’s pants to be hemmed up and I needed it to be done same day. No questions asked she did it. She was so focused on quality and gave me a couple of «warnings» about hemming pants without my husband being there for her to measure. I sincerely appreciated this and decided to take the chance anyway. She did an wonderful job and was very reasonable.
She runs a great shop and if you are needing any type of tailoring or alteration, you need to go see Maria.
