I reached out to Mari several weeks ago after searching online for someone local who could handle my wedding dress alterations. My wedding is in April 2026, and I wanted to plan ah...
ead so I wouldn’t be rushing once my dress arrives at the end of January. I found Mari online, called her, explained my timeline, and she assured me she could help. She instructed me to book my appointment through her website, which I did.
Today, I received a notification that my appointment was cancelled. I called—no answer. I tried to rebook online, but the next available appointments weren’t until May 2026, which is months after I need my dress done. So I drove to the address to get clarity.
When I arrived, Mari told me her online booking system “has issues” and often double-books appointments, which causes earlier bookings—like mine—to get cancelled. When I asked to rebook, she said to do it online. I explained that the only appointments available were in May, long after my wedding. Her response was essentially that she couldn’t fix it, and I would need to find someone else.
As a business owner myself, the attitude and lack of accountability were really disappointing. I’m sharing this review to help others avoid the same experience. If you’re looking for reliable wedding dress alterations, I recommend choosing someone else.
Mari did an amazing job on my dress, she transformed the dress into my dream dress and it fit me perfectly! I got so many compliments everyone said I looked stunning, I even got ca...

de it happen. It had a lot of fabric rousching and she was still able to make the straight strapless neckline into a sweetheart neckline with just a few stitches!! It totally transformed the look of the dress. She also took in the waist and hips in 2 inches to make it hug my body and bustle it! She was a total professional, did a wonderful job, and was SOOOO affordable! Thank you Mari for making my dress everything I wanted!

r a wedding gown. How long does it really take to cut off a few inches? And their rush fees were not cheap either. Not Mari, though. Not only is she sweet and great at what she does, her turn around time was one week! That's awesome. I highly recommend Mari for anyone's bridal alterations. Her prices and turn around time blow everyone else out of the water.
I could not be more happy! And she did all this for a Phenomenal price! Less than half off regular boutique! I strongly recommend her! The best kept secret in phoenix!

r a wedding gown or else you have to pay a rush fee." A rush fee? How long does it really take to cut off a few inches? And their rush fees were not cheap either. They wanted at least $80 more to do anything in less than a month.
Not Mari, though. Not only is she sweet and great at what she does, her turn around time was one week! That's awesome. I highly recommend Mari for anyone's bridal alterations. Her prices and turn around time blow everyone else out of the water.
I ordered my wedding dress online, and it came way too big and with many discrepancies from what I thought I was ordering. Mari was able to restyle my dress to my specifications an...

I have nothing bad to say about Mari! First let me tell you Mari is a fr...
iendly, patient and down to earth seamstress with no ego. She listened to my experience and concerns intently. And she didn't treat me like a second class citizen because I bought my dress online!
The work was outstanding and for less money than any of the stores I looked into, which was just icing on the cake. I tell all my girlfriends about touch of class. This is a good place for brides to go for low cost wedding gown and bridesmaid alterations in phoenix .I love her!!
Mari was excellent to work with! I felt very comfortable working with her and in her home. It was nice not going into a shop where I felt pressure to do something I wasn't sure of....
It was very casual, but professional and an excellent value! I would recommend her to any bride, she did an fabulous job on my dress and I'm so excited to wear it:)
Mari is thee only one I would EVER go to for alterations! She is Very sweet, professional, VERY affordable, and THEE BEST SEAMSTRESS IN THE WORLD!!! I had gotten my dress from Kair...
a's Bridal...HUGE MISTAKE!!!!!!! My husband found Mari and called me from work and says "why don't you give her a call and see what she can do. So I did! Thank GOD for Mari!!!! I had bought my dress as an original size 10 dress. I needed a size 2. So Kaira's Bridal offered to alter it for me and said it would be no problem. Well, IT WAS A HUGE problem! They cut the fabric inside and if it weren't for Mari, I would have been looking for a dress 2 days before my wedding! She added a corset and re did my bussels and it was even more gorgeous than it was when I first saw it hanging on the rack!!!!!!! Mari is a GOD - sent from heaven! I owe her everything! If it hadn't been for her, I would have had to postpone my wedding until I found a new dress. Thank you so very much from the bottom of my heart, Mari!!!! ;) She also had fixed my mom's Maid of Honor dress that Kaira's Bridal had screwed up as well. It looked gorgeous!!!
excellent work, wonderful personality, unbelievable prices, and fast!
Everything about my experience with Mari was stupendous. Can't find one thing that wasn't perfect!

Mari is by far the best! I underwent two major surgeries recently which have altered my body (and of course after the dress had already arrived). She altered my dress to fit me th...
e way I imagined and helped me then customize it to better fit my vision. She is warm and caring and truly just wants her clients to be happy. I have brought different friends with me through my fittings and all of them commented on how wonderful she is both in personality, professionalism, and quality of work. She took my dress from what I though to be beautiful to out of this world! I can't wait to wear my dress!!
Thanks for the wonderful dress. You made it look just as I had dreamed. My was so excited to try it on and I felt so comfortable with you. I would recommend you to all my friends a...
nd family. I believe it is people like you who make days like a "wedding" so special, because without you we couldn't have it just the way we want it.
Thank you,

I found Mari online and she had such great reviews that I decided to go to her for the alterations on my gown for my daughters wedding. She did a great job and the dress was perfec...
t. On top of the great quality of her work, she was extremely reasonable on her pricing. I already recommended her to a future bride that saw a dress she loved but couldn't afford it and was going to go with one of these companies overseas that says they can make the same dress for $200. I told her to see Mari instead as she can make her a custom gown and not have to worry about how it will look when it's done.
Mari was absolutely wonderful…the alterations that she did completely transformed my dress to something even more wonderful than I could have imagined. She was very attentive to m...
y vision of the dress and completed the work in such a reasonable amount of time. Her price point in comparison to David Bridal’s was exceptional coming in under what they set as their start point for altering my dress. If you want quality workmanship and the personal touch then Mari is the one you need to call to make your special day all the more special with the perfect fit of the dress you are planning to wear. I know that she will always be the one that I will recommend to family and friends. Tina Mistico
It was a pleasure to work with Mari. She was very helpful and knowledgeable about what my dress needed (and did not need!). She fixed the bustle (the one I got with the dress was n...
ot flattering at all!). I also got a custom veil, just what I wanted, after I sent her a few pictures of my ideas. And a lot cheaper than what I found in bridal stores!
I ordered my wedding dress on line overseas, when I recieved the dress there were obvious perks.. I was very stressed out on how to fix the dress or get a new one. I called many pl...
aces & just to hemm the dress was well over 200.00 I Finally called Marie & she gave me a quote of 60.00 so I set up an appointment. From the first appointment to recieving my dress with all alterations,I had a wondrerfull experience with touch of class Marie very nice humble & very helpfull & informative. she gave suggestions & ideas for the dress & I went with all suggestions . she placed a 7 point under my dress & fixed my pick up layers & evened out the bottom of the dress.. I am very pleased & recomened Touch of Class to all New Brides & brides unsatisfied with dresses they have.. Thanks Lady J
Every bit of Mari’s 20-plus years of experience shows in her professionalism and skill. I couldn't afford the dress of my dreams. Although I liked my dress, I wasn't in love with i...
t. All that changed the instant Mari opened the door and greeted me with her warm and welcoming smile. Her enthusiasm for my dress and me personally were so sincere it was contagious. She was friendly, quick, efficient and it was extremely clear that she would offer not just experience but passion for her work as well. Since all of my bridesmaids and my mom were in another state, I asked Mari if she would mind snapping a few pictures of me in my dress to send to them. She was not only totally ok with that, but even took pictures with her own camera and emailed them to me. After Mari was done with the dress it didn't even seem like the same dress! Suddenly, I fell in love with a dress I’d thought was just ok. I was stunned at how affordable all of the alterations were.
