Maridadi Couture

I cannot praise Maridadi Couture enough. Rita was wonderful through the whole process of having my dress altered. She was even extremely helpful with my undergarments and was going to alter those for me if I couldn’t find something that fit just right! Her pricing is very fair and she does an amazing job. They always greet you with a smile and you feel like the only bride in the world when you are there. I will recommend them to anyone looking for alterations.

I had two wedding gowns altered and a bolero made of matching lace and Rita did an AMAZING job. She worked very well with me to make sure it fit exactly how I wanted it and I received so many compliments on my special day. I would go back to her for any work that I needed. Great experience, hands down.

In one word, amazing. I got my wedding dress fitted there and RIta and her staff were a pleasure to work with. They exceeded any expectations and blew away any anxiety I had. It was such an easy process and I would highly recommend Maridadi Couture to anyone looking to have their clothes altered.

First let me start by saying, I’m not the kind of person who gets clothing items altered. SO, when it was time to look for alterations for my wedding dress, I didn’t know where to start. I even thought about altering my own «off the rack» dress to save money. (don’t do that, really, it’s totally worth the money!) I read Unilocal reviews for places in Philadelphia. They were confusing and conflicting and what some loved others hated, and what some found to be reasonably priced, others found to be grossly expensive for the value. So I decided to ask around to see what people I knew had experienced.
I went to Maridadi Couture on a tip from a friend of a friend. It was quite a drive from Philadelphia, but I was OK with that, as I mentioned, based on reviews, tailoring options in the city seem hit or miss & overpriced for the quality of work, depending on who you ask. Also, they have weekend fitting hours here, which was helpful for me.
The price was probably the norm, but the work and customer service was of superior quality. Also, my wedding was on a very tight budget, and the owner, Rita, worked with me to figure out which alterations I really needed, and which ones I could live without. She was very generous with her advice and her pricing options for me, which gained huge points.
I bought the dress «off the rack» to save money, and because I was short on time. Rita didn’t bat an eye at the tight schedule, or the fact that the dress was over-​sized and had to be taken in and up a lot.
My entire experience with my fittings here were wonderful. Rita and her assistant were very pleasant and easy to work with. In the end, my dress fit me like a glove. I don’t know how she did it, she worked her magic and the dress ended up looking better than i could’ve ever imagined. She knows her stuff, and if you visit her website, you’ll see that her experience in alterations and fittings is what you’re paying for here. Her work is magic, I tell you.
GO HERE to get fitted for anything dressy or wedding related, you won’t be disappointed!

Altered my wedding gown here — what fantastic work!
I had purchased my gown through Nordstrom online; the sizing chart was extremely off and the dress I ended up with (after even a return!) was still as size too big. I took it to Nordstrom as I assumed they would be able to do alterations on their dresses only to be told it would be impossible! Off I went to Rita! What a great decision.
I always felt beautiful, like my dress was unique and never ever rushed. My gown’s alterations were rather complicated, but I was never nervous that the work would be done correctly. Rita took the time to do «hair trims» (FOUR fittings!) so that each strip of organza would be moved and correctly fitted.
I felt fantastic in my gown on my wedding day, received incredible compliments from my guests and husband (most importantly!). I can’t thank Maridadi enough.

After being thrilled with alterations on three dresses, I called Rita in a panic when my sister’s wedding dress was altered incorrect…4 days before her wedding! My sister was so distraught — the top of the dress looked terrible on her. Rita encouraged us to bring the dress in right away. She immediately identified the issues which were making the dress fit my sister poorly (even the seamstress at the bridal shop was unable to alter the dress correctly). Rita had my sister smiling ear to ear two days later — we took the dress home & it fit her perfectly for her big day. Need an alteration done right the first time? Rita is your girl!

I have taken 2 dresses here and they have done a great job. They are so friendly and nice. I have another dress that is there now and plan on taking my wedding dress as well. Definitely stop in, you will not be disappointed!

Rita is awesome! I got my wedding dress at the Wedding Touch in Malvern however the owner was retiring so I had to buy the floor dress off the rack. I was concerned because the dress was SEVERAL sizes too big. The store refered me to Rita at Maridadi for alterations and assured me that she could take the dress in while keeping the details intact. I have now been to 3 fittings and the dress looks AMAZING! Rita worked magic for me and I would definitely recommend coming here for any alteration needs.

I took an old bridesmaid dress there to «de-​bridesmaid dress: it. I was very impressed with the work. They were able to take a ballgrown and make it into a make into a slim a-​line. They also fixed all the bad alterations that were done by a certain large chain bridal store. They are amazing and very friendly. I will continue to go there!
