Maria Antonieta is the absolute best! My wedding was in July 2023 and despite protests from my mom, I really delayed looking for a seamtress! Then I found Maria Antoineta and she squeezed me into her schedule, mostly after her regular business hours, to alter my wedding dress. She was so much fun to work with and her passion for what she does shows in the quality of the work she produces! I would highly recommemd her!

Wish there was a way to give a 10 star rating! From the moment we met I knew I was in skilled, kind, artistic, helpful hands. Maria thoughtfully and beautifully altered my mother of the bride dress to fit me perfectly. Never has a dress fit me so well. During the process it became clear the necklace I wanted to wear was a bit too long. Maria generously and creatively adjusted the clasp to make it work perfectly. Then, if that wasn’t enough, she helped me practice gently fitting the dress into a carry on suit case so it would arrive with me in California without a wrinkle - which worked like a charm.The entire process from start to finish was far better than I could have ever imagined. A true professional with a genuine desire to provide her client’s with all that they ask for…and then some!

Maria is an absolutely lovely woman who has an incredible talent for dress alterations. Maria altered my Mother of Bride dress and my Rehearsal dinner dress. She did a wonderful job and made both dresses so comfortable. I wore my MOB dress to not only the wedding but to the After Party and really did not want to take it off. Thank you Maria you are truly a 5 star seamstress and person!

Maria recently altered my mother of the groom gown and beautifully worked her magic to make it fit perfectly! It was not an easy dress to alter with bodice pleats and a flowing organza fabric but she has the deep experience and knowledge to handle the most challenging dresses! Maria is also a very kind and lovely person. I felt very comfortable and enjoyed meeting with her. I highly recommend Maria for any level of bridal alteration or dress making!

Maria is an artist and puts her heart into her work and her brides. Even with a packed schedule, she agreed to take me on as a client last-minute when I had just moved to Portland. She altered my dress beautifully and took into account my feelings and preferences. She figured out exactly what needed to be done to make me look my best in the dress. She is very honest, kind, and hard-working. I walked away with both a perfectly-altered wedding dress and a friend!

I don't even know where to begin. Maria Antonieta is an artist, a visionary. She took my already gorgeous gown and elevated it to perfection. The straps wouldn't stay up, so she created a beautiful back piece across my shoulders from the lace inlay that had been removed from the hemming of the bottom of the gown. It not only served a purpose but added a depth of elegance to the back of the gown. I have never felt so beautiful than I did on my wedding day in this gown, not one inkling of self consciousness thanks to Maria's artistic eye and unparalleled skill. I will never take a garment anywhere else after my experience with her.

Maria is so incredibly talented! I had an urgent alteration on my wedding dress and Maria saved the day! Although she was so busy with other clients, she kept her store open late just for me. You can tell she truly loves what she does and sincerely cares about each one of her clients. She is so kind, talented, and extremely hard working. She is a perfectionist and made sure that my dress was perfect for my wedding day. I’m so grateful to have found Maria and I highly recommend her!! Thank you Maria!

My wedding was in July 2022 and I started looking for a seatstress in April. No one would take me but Maria did! Not only did she take me and my dress in but she also made beautiful design suggestions that I ended up using. I have heard horror stories of brides and seamstresses, but Maria is far from that. She made everything look elegant and beautiful. I am so glad I was able to get my dress tailored and she finished the dress well in advance from my wedding date. She is also very flexible and she made sure that she found times and dates that worked for both of us. I couldn’t recommend her enough!! She is willing to work on some hard dresses so just please be kind and she will do the same.

Maria is one of the kindest people I have ever met! My dress took nearly 6 months to arrive (meaning 2 months before my wedding) and Maria still took me on as a client (even though her schedule was already packed!) She walked me through the entire process and exceeded all of my expectations. Besides the fact that I was over the moon satisfied with my dress, I thoroughly enjoyed every conversation and visit! If I have any needs moving forward, I will certainly be returning to Maria. She puts her heart and soul into everything that she does and I am so grateful that our paths crossed! My dress fit like a dream! Thank you, Maria!

Maria is the sweetest women for this job. Her work is incredible and it was a lot of work but she made it happen. From the beginning, she told me to trust her and that’s what I did. Thank you Maria for all of your hard work.

I cannot say enough good things about Maria Antonieta Bridal! I tried using a seamstress in my town for my wedding dress who unfortunately almost ruined my dress. So Maria took me in as her “emergency bride” and she not only fixed the mistakes that were made to the dress, but she made it even more beautiful than when I first bought it! Maria replaced the straps with handmade flower straps that added such a sweet touch to the gown. She also did an amazing job to the bustle where she was able to get basically all of the dress up off of the floor for the reception. And on top of that (and more!), she fit the bodice perfectly to my body. Thank you Maria for taking me in during a time of distress and making me feel like the most beautiful bride!

I have been working with Marie for 3 decades, bringing my finest clothing to her! She is a magician. She can figure out anything....the most complicated alterations. Marie is passionate about her work, and she always sends me away with clothing that fits me perfectly, and makes me feel beautiful. Not to mention, she is one of the nicest people I have ever met! I highly recommend her for her design work as well. As long as she is in business, she will be my "go to girl!"

Maria Antonieta is so incredibly kind and talented. During my appointment, she told me she has years of experience designing dresses. She worked on my bridesmaids dress for alterations and the fabric was a little tricky. Maria hemmed it beautifully! Throughout my appointment, she was so welcoming and friendly. I felt like family with her and I only wish I had another dress to alter just to return!

I love Maria and I love my gown! She crafted my mother's 40 year old wedding gown and veil into the perfect dress for me! She made extensive modifications to the back of the dress to make it fit and you never would have known, her work is incredibly polished. Her final touch was my custom Obi, which I never would have thought of without her! She made me feel right at home and has a big heart, you don't meet people like her every day. If you're looking for an extremely talented seamstress who is creative and wonderful to work with look no further!
