Maria has an amazing eye for detail and can revamp any wardrobe. It’s a real gift what she is able to do. She has an innate ability to figure out what would look best on you for your body type and skin tone. She can sum up a person and highlight his/her best features.
We met for a interview. On our next visit, she had an eagle eye for clothing that enhanced my body type and had everything picked out. She instinctively knew what looked best on me. I tried on the items she selected and they were outstanding. Considering I hate shopping, she made it fun and enjoyable.
It was such a pleasure to work with her. I got some great outfits for the New Year and have received so many compliments on my new clothes.
Thank-you, Maria

Maria is truly a miracle worker. She took my incredibly delicate, intricate wedding dress (two layers of lace, with taffeta satin etc.), and shrunk it to fit my body like a glove. It was incredible to see the transformation from the first time I put it on, when it was too large in the hips and bust, until the last fitting, when it slid over my body as if it were made for me. Maria DID make it for me, perfectly.

Second, I had bought a custom mantilla style wedding veil in Turkey, which was made a little too long for my taste. Maria was able to pick it up at the back and actually sew a section into the Turkish lace, as if it were made that way originally. Everyone commented on how beautiful and original the veil was; it was all thanks to Maria's creativity that I had this special veil at the length I wanted.

Finally, Maria is a loving person and willing to accommodate whatever your needs are. I live in D.C. and she made special appointments for me around when I was in town on the weekends. Thank you, Maria!

Working with Maria was a true pleasure. Maria had done such an amazing job on my sister's bridal gown that I knew I had to go to her for my big day. I am so glad I did! Throughout the process, she listened to all my concerns and ideas. She then took all my random ideas and helped me create a total look by impeccably tailoring the dress and adding jewelry and a velvet sash. I am beyond thrilled.
Maria is a wonderful person and an outstanding tailor. I am so glad I was able to work with her!

I've worked with Maria as an image consultant and personal shopper. She is really good! She has helped me with everything from alterations to new clothing options I would have never considered on my own. She is a professional and will make you feel very comfortable in the process. I highly recommend her.

I wanted to take the time to write this review, because Maria has done an absolutely magnificent outstanding presentation and organization at the B’dazzled store. I would highly recommend her to any one for her professional skills in merchandizing.

The store was stunning and inviting as well as made it easy to shop.

Way to go, your hard work and patience was very much appreciated.

I was a bit desperate for help with making a change when I found Maria online, with wonderful testimonials from clients, I am delighted to add my own enthusiastic recommendation.

The office I have worked in for nearly 30 years is closing unexpectedly. The idea of getting back in the job market after so long is scary, not only am I older, I have gone to seed appearance wise. I needed a polished look. Given the intensity of closing a firm and on top of an already full schedule, I knew that I would have to do this in steps. I could not do a full closet/ wardrobe thing at this point. So I asked Maria if we could start with “baby-steps. Thankfully, she agreed. I took Maria some clothes for alterations (or to be tossed out, if she thought that would be best) and she interviewed me to learn who she was dealing with, priorities, values, etc. As I tried on clothes, she showed me what best flattered me, why, and what to look for. It was such a relief to realize that updating my look was not only do-able, but with her help, it will be fun! Maria’s expert alterations will make my choices look better and Maria will keep me from repeating expensive mistakes of the past. Maria’s goal (and mine) is not to mold me into a cookie-cutter corporate or aging Junior League type, but to help me re-tool and learn to look my best while being true to myself. The few pieces I’ve had time to acquire on my own following her guidelines have been a hit! I am so glad I found Maria and I can’t wait to get on with our plan!

When my husband asked me what I wanted for my birthday, I told him I've always thought it would be fun to meet with an image consultant. I wasn't so interested in fashion per se but more interested in someone who would offer advice on better expressing my personality though my wardrobe. I found Maria's site and felt that her focus was just that. I was not disappointed! On her first visit, she takes lots of time to ask questions and get to know you. She is a delight to work with and surpassed my expectations. She is very supportive, hands-on all the way, always keeps a good value and your budget in mind. Her experience and eye are awesome and she hands out helpful tips constantly. At any age, it can be fun to learn to take care of and express yourself and Maria is a wonderful person to help you.

Maria was a pleasure to work with! When I contacted her to redesign her old website she was very decisive and told me exactly what she wanted and what she expected from me. Maria was great to work with because she jumped right in and guided me and made the execution of this website very easy for me. Maria made this website - I just pressed all the buttons!

I have been thinking about contacting an image consultant for several years and was daunted by the "junior league" persona I felt most area consultants have. When I found Maria's website earlier this year I just knew I had landed in the right spot. Maria is down to earth and takes time to get to know her clients and their needs. I was very happy with our initial meeting and just hope I can complete my homework assignments in a timely manner so we can move on to the next phase. I am very excited about the possibilities Maria presents and the fact that she is well-versed in many areas, not just make-overs.
