howed her skill was what she did to the front of my dress. I tried on my dress in the store in May and fell in love. I waited 2 months for my dress to arrive and when it did... it wasn't the same dress. All the details on the top were different. The one I tried on in store was very flattering to my figure, this one was blah. I got estimates from several seamstresses that either quoted me my first born child or tried to convince me that the dresses were the same and no changes were needed. When I went to Naomi, I knew right away that she was the person for me. She listened to what my issues were, she asked to see pictures of both dresses, and she even had me text her the photos so she could do her best to create the original look. She did all that and more. The dress looked better than I could have ever imagined. In addition to her undeniable talent, Naomi was fun to chat with, easy to schedule with, and always made me feel excited for my big day without being over the top. Definitely go with Margaret's Cleaners and Naomi for your wedding! You will not be disappointed!!

My wedding was on December 7, 2018. Sometime in January 2018 I had the very good fortune of running into Margaret's cleaners and their fabulous ladies at the San Diego Wedding Expo. I had my mom's dress from when she got married over 30 years a...
go. She was quite thin and I have some extra love handles, lol I was debating on whether to use my mom's dress or buy a new one because I was skeptical that it wouldn't be or look like my dream dress and I didn't want to ruin my mom's dress. The dress was pretty heavily 80's to include the huge puffy arm ruffles. So I stopped by Margaret's Cleaners booth and spoke to Naomi Miller and she showed me some of her before/after dresses she had worked on. It was impressive enough to get me to go in to their shop for a consultation with my dress. We went over every detail I wanted done, Naomi took every single idea of mine and turned it into a masterpiece. She would advise where my ideas needed to be tweaked and why it needed to be tweaked but never once did she ever make me feel like my ideas were weird instead she would show enthusiasm for them. She has the patience of a God as I had many different changes and she would smile and be excited for them. Naomi did not have an easy job as I went in with my mom and my aunt and we were all very opinionated, LOL Naomi was so accommodating, respectful and a true professional. The end result was me in happy tears and Naomi joined me in my tearful joy. When I tell you that this girl pours her heart and soul into making your vision come to life, it's an understatement. The best part is that it was ridiculously affordable. The final dress came in an amazing package that looked like i had just gone to purchase the dress at a super expensive store. In closing, Naomi Miller from Margaret's cleaners is nothing short of a miracle worker, her skills are unparalleled, she treats her customers like family/friend and she is the sweetest person I've ever met, so much so, we still keep in touch today.

en you're in your fitting. I do have one word of advice- Listen to Naomi when she tells you to hang out in your dress a little. Sit down in your dress. Bend over in your dress. Give her a hug in your dress. Do a little jig in your dress. Do ALL the things you think you may do during the wedding because the fit of your dress changes as you move. I did not follow her advice and my dress ended up being too large on top (my fault). Naomi is an expert and the amount of schooling she has been to backs that up. She also creates wedding dresses from scratch if you like. Overall, go see Naomi. She's the real deal and will be sure to make your dress fit like a glove (if you listen to her). Love Naomi- love Margarets. Highly recommend them!

At the first fitting she recommended the top come slightly off my shoulders to achieve the perfect fit. At my second fitting she recommended I take more off the bottom so that I was completely comfortable walking and dancing. At our wedding I was so happy I did because I danced the night away and felt completely comfortable! She was very professional and has a great eye for detail. The dress was delivered the day before the wedding completely wrapped, pressed and steamed and in pristine condition for the wedding day. It even came complete with a report describing each stage of the dress alteration.

ow many ways it can go wrong... you also know that you relinquish a lot of control to vendors... you must trust that they'll deliver on your expectations. This place is more expensive than I thought alterations should cost, but once I factored in the quality, the service, the assurance that my dress would be done perfectly and delivered timely, the price I would pay again. I got married in Riverside but live in San Diego. Waffling on if I should do alterations in Riverside or San Diego so I wouldn't have to do fittings in Riverside, I finally decided on Margaret's without knowing they'd deliver all the way to Riverside. But boy did they deliver! My dress was altered and pressed perfectly, they added my sash/belt (and side note: they even made my mom a choker from the leftover material on her dress), and they delivered during the window promised. Putting your wedding dress in the hands of a vendor 100 miles away and crossing your fingers that they'll come through is nerve-wracking... but they did... twice now... and they will continue to have my business. Shout out to Naomi Miller... you will not find a sweeter, more knowledgeable, more skilled seamstress anywhere!

rise father-daughter dance where I would twirl and rip off my skirt to reveal my cocktail dress underneath and then break out into free dance with my dad before the guests joined in on the dance floor. To make this happen, my skirt had to be hemmed and bustled and extra clasps added to the top of the skirt to ensure a smooth reveal. My cocktail dress also had to be taken in around the bust, waist, and hips. Naomi worked her magic and the skirt held up throughout the ceremony and reception and came off effortlessly when it was time for the big surprise. Naomi was so patient with me and my mom as we discussed what we wanted with the dress and options and ideas on how to make the dress fit better without breaking the bank, like adding $15-20 bra cups to the dress to avoid having to deal with any bras or bra straps in general! I believe the prices at Margarets is definitely reasonable for the amount of time and effort Naomi puts into all her alterations. All in all my alterations came out to $520, but if you spend over $500 in alterations you get a free pressing before your wedding (a $220 value for my 2 piece dress). Honestly I thought pressing dresses before the wedding was maybe an expense I could cut, but thankfully I did not (and mine was included with my alteration) because pressing really does make a difference! Super happy with the service and workmanship at Margarets and will highly recommend Naomi to future brides!

After nearly 5 sessions of me wanting to continue to add to the dress Naomi continued her hardworking empathetic and sincere hard work and made all my dreams come true! My gown is now ready to be preserved and I would have no other company do this job! I am so happy with their services and will use them not for all things alterations, cleaning and preserving! So glad I found Margarets!

There is nothing more stressful than your wedding day... the last thing I wanted to worry about was making sure my dress was perfect. From the alterations to the initial delivery of my dress to the venue Margaret's Clearers made it a breeze. ...
10 years later when I return back to San Diego for our 10 year anniversary they were able to bring my dirty dingy dress back to life. Thank you Margaret's Clearers for making my day amazing and my ten year anniversary just as beautiful as My wedding. I would absolutely recommend margaret's to everyone !!!!

I took my dress to Margaret's because I didn't want the place I bought my dress to handle the alterations - I just couldn't trust that nothing would go wrong. I had heard the were the best, but a little pricey. They definitely are the best, but...
they definitely are a little pricey. The reason we moved forward with them was because I knew they would handle everything perfectly and on the day of my wedding my dress would be exactly the way I wanted it and that's exactly what happened. There was too much at stake to bring it to someone who might not do a good job. I had to have the dress taken in about an inch and half on each side, a little under the butt, and they put 17 bustles on the dress plus I think 8 underneath on the petty coat. It was definitely a lot of work for them. They day of my wedding they dropped it off at the venue for me and it was absolutely stunning. It fit my like a glove and even though I was stepped on a couple times, all the bustles stayed. I was a very happy bride!!
