"Maria did such a wonderful job making a silk top and pleated pants for me! I had a wedding to attend and my timeframe was pretty tight. She completed the job with no fuss. The craftmanship and quality was outstanding. She was great to work with from start to finish. I highly recommend her to anyone wanting high quality custom made clothing."
