a joyful experience 💖

“Merci’s Tailoring did my alterations for my wedding dress!! I took it to them initially and only had to have my straps adjusted. Well, I decided LAST minute I wanted my dress taken in as I had lost a little weight and they took care of it the week of my wedding and had it done within a day! Theresa is light hearted, honest and made each visit a joy and stress free! I highly recommend coming here, you won’t find a more personal and professional experience anywhere else.”

home of the bustle queen 👑

“Home to the reigning queen of bustles! Super friendly staff, easy to book an appointment with, and fantastic quality and speed of work.

I only received my wedding dress about a month before the big day and they were able to get me in, get my adjustments made and a bustle added in just a few weeks, and they were super helpful in showing my family how to do the bustle and offered to help crash course it again if needed! Will absolutely come back the next time I need something tailored, wonderful experience and wonderful people!”

“I happened upon Merci's tailoring by recommendation and that recommendation lived up to its promise. I have had multiple jeans patched and saved from ruin. Everyone I have interacted with has been kind and courteous. Wonderful service and quality!!”

your go-to tailor 🧵

Merci’s has been my go to for alterations for all of the big events, proms, weddings, and most recently when my daughter got married. My mother of the bride dress needed multiple adjustments and I got so many compliments on how perfectly it fit the day of the wedding. In addition, the friendly and positive attention to detail, reasonable prices, and sticking to the timeline has always been perfect! Thank you!
