Ana-Maria is an amazing tailor and seamstress! She helped me alter my bridesmaid dress to a style that felt more comfortable to me, and she did an excellent job!

This needs to be your first shop stop, especially if you live in SB! I bought my wedding dress here in 22. I had gone to 2 other shops, but Ana Marie had the one for me! The prices at this shop are much better compared to others, even the big name store you'd first think of. I really enjoyed working with Ana Marie too during the whole process. I had made a request to add an additional strap to match the back bottom, she did so perfectly.I also had Ana Marie sew on a couple crystals that were from my moms wedding dress, it came out perfectly. I was very pleased with everything; communication, timing, cost, and absolutely the end result!The dress really was 'the one' (aside from my husband of course lol)

I would give her 100 stars if possible!! I bought my dress in NY where j lived a year before my wedding. But wasn’t able to make my second fitting there due to flight issues. They shipped my dress to SB and when it arrived it didn’t fit, and there were About 8 things wrong with it (10 days out from the wedding.I came here, and before I even said ‘I need help with XYZ’ she knew exactly what to do! She was able to do It in less than 5 days (it was a lot!!) and save the dress! I’d come here for everything if I could!! Thanks!!!

PLEASE READ BEFORE SCHEDULING AN APPOINTMENT!! 0 Stars. My sisters, mother, and I went into the shop to find my sister a wedding dress. We had an appointment and showed up early to ensure we got the most out of our appointment. We let the owner know it was her first day looking for a dress and we were not sure what she wanted quite yet. She told us to pick out some dresses. We probably picked about 10 dresses. We asked if we could start and did not receive much help while trying on the dresses. It was so incredibly hot in the store and everyone was sweating. Then when my sister got to the fifth dress, she said that this was the last dress to try on. We had no idea about this rule and we were not told when we called to schedule the appointment, arrived, or while we were picking out obviously more then 5 dresses. We felt stressed as we had not found a great dress yet. When asking if we could try on 1 more she said no and that the bride should should have chosen more carefully what she wanted to try on!! We asked the designer of the 5th dress and she told us she would have to check. Some time went by and we asked again who the designer was. Once again she stood there and told us she should have to check. She stood there looking at us as we were all confused what was happening. Finally we got it that she wasn't going to let us know. We could not find out ourselves as the owner has cut out all of the tags so we can not know any information about the dresses. It was horrible service from the owner. We left so confused, upset, and devastated that my sisters bridal experience was so horrible.

I am in love with Ana-Maria! Wonderful experience. you walk in and she says hello. She tells you to pick some dresses that catch your eye and then you try them on. I tried on about 5 dresses and I loved one so much! My sisters cried and my older sister handed her credit card over and said this is it. Fast forward a few days. I cried my eyes out. I was revisiting the pictures and disliked the dress. I called her in tears and she was so so sweet. Because my wedding was 18 months away she told me she was gonna call the dressmaker and switch it to the one I actually loved, no problems, no questions asked. NOw onto my fittings. The dress is stunning! My vision wasn't there yet, something was missing. We worked and worked and worked on how to make my dress EXACTLY perfect. We tried different accents, different straps, sleeves, bustles, and lengths. I just had my final fitting and my dress is STUNNING! Ana-Maria has the eye and talent of an amazing bridal seamstress. Just absolutely patient, reaffirming, kind, and willing to put in the work to make her bride happy. She also secretly, is an AMAZING therapist! There were a few times I was just personally struggling internally and she could see it and managed to draw it out of me. I was crying in tears in front of this woman just unloading my heart, struggles, and challenges and she just talked with me and hugged me. She is more than just a dressmaker to me, she has grown very close to me and I am fond of her! Ana-Maria is so sweet and talented. Her gowns are stunning and her work is on another level. I am so excited to wear my gown and show everyone on my big day!

This was my very first bridal appointment and it was supposed to be such a special day. My sister flew in from the east coast and my best friend drove hours to visit this shop. Ana Maria was extremely disrespectful and we unfortunately ended up walking out without trying on any dresses. We had pulled a few dresses that fit what I thought I wanted and my budget. She quickly made a rude comment regarding if I was going to buy a dress without even trying anything on, and then proceeded to ignore us for 25 minutes, we had no choice but to leave. I left in tears and I hope I can save another bride from experiencing anything like this.

This was the most awful experience I could have asked for for my friend (the bride) ever. This was her first ever appointment to try on dresses and we were immediately met by the most rude woman. She did not offer to help and told us to pick out our own dresses to try on. We picked out a handful of dresses and stood there. When I asked if the bride could try on the dresses, she said not yet. We stood there for a few more minutes before leaving. This is not how a bride should feel when picking out their wedding dress, nor should ANYONE be treated like this while shopping for anything.

First dress she tried on and she said YES to the dress! Quality, Professional individualized service. Anna Marie is a pro, so sweet and an expert in her craft of alterations! Our cousin found her dress, 1st one she tried on, 15 years ago! We thought we would give her a try and we are SO glad we did!?

I cannot say enough good things about Ana Maria! The customer service was wonderful, and the whole experience of working with her was simple and seamless. She's also very talented. She took a lot of care to ensure the alterations showcased the most beautiful aspects of my dress. I couldn't be happier with how it turned out.

Ana-Maria was so kind during my initial fitting. Her prices are extremely reasonable and her years of experience in the industry makes it worth it. She agreed to do the alterations for my mom's wedding dress for my special day. The entire visit was so welcoming and pleasant. Her sizing me in the dress from 16 to a 6 was SO fast. I'm very excited to see how it turns out! Highly recommend her and her boutique for your wedding dress needs.

This place is a joke. The service is garbage, and the dresses are tacky. If you’re unlucky enough to find yourself here, Ana Maria will be the worst part of your wedding prep process. Don’t waste your time in this trash heap.
