Artistic Tailoring & Weaving

I took a dress in to Mary Jane and she was very personable and friendly. When I picked up my dress a week later, and I had tried it on, I thought the seam was going to come undone. When I had asked her about it, she was very sure it wouldn’t. And when I came out she offered to go over it a second time. When I had finally paid, my total was $ 48. Now to me that’s pretty pricey, but I’m not from here so I don’t know if that’s normal. Back home in California, we can get alterations done cheap with good value. She also suggested a couple of dry cleaners in the Clayton area for me. I would come back, but I’d have to save up.

Mary Jane and her shop is my favorite and only place to go for tailoring. Not only does she do an excellent job but she does it expediently. Whether I have last minute requests or bring in multiple items, Mary Jane is always accommodating. On top of all that, Mary Jane has a great personality and really takes the time to get to know her customers.

Took my wedding dress to Mary Jane, after honestly waiting too long and every other tailor told me (the week of July 31^st) «Yeah, right, maybe if your wedding was the END of October, but certainly not the first weekend in October!»
So, I called Mary Jane, and she told me to get in soon and she could handle it.
My Mori Lee mermaid fit and flare needed a new modesty panel in back, brought in on the corset, lots of hemming and FIVE bustles. I was expecting it to be so expensive that I would cringe when I came to pick it up (it wasn’t) and I was also expecting it to take right up until a few nights before the wedding (it didn’t, it took three weeks).
Mary Jane is a really neat lady, very friendly, and chats with you, I’m sure to make you more comfortable when your bare backside and spanx are exposed while your corset is being laced up.
My dress looks wonderful and the bustles are perfect, the modesty panel is exactly what I hoped it would be in the back under the corset weave.
I’m going to look amazing 10 – 4! Thanks, Mary Jane!

Mary Jane is the best! She saved my day when I ripped my sleeve right before an important meeting! Her work is immaculate and affordable. Ten out of ten! I will be back!

I went to visit Mary Jane after all the good reviews on Unilocal and Google, but I was sadly disappointed.
I took three items to her for adjustment: a bridesmaid’s dress, a pair of pants with a broken zipper, and a pair of pants where one leg had a fallen hem.
She appeared to be knowledgeable while preparing the dress to be hemmed, but after I got it back, it was far too short to be worn with the heels I had purchased for the wedding and I now have to purchase flats to wear with the dress. She did a great job with the actual hem, she just took way too much off. Luckily, it was less than $ 50 for both the chiffon and silk layer of the dress.
She repaired the broken zipper in the pants without issue, though it was about $ 30, which I consider excessive.
The other pair of pants had one hem intact and the other fallen. The intact hem was obviously a blind hem and there is no visible stitching. The repaired hem has incredibly visible stitching, which makes the pants look unprofessional. I am able to hem a pair of pants with visible stitching; I took them to a tailor to have it professionally repaired. The hem was only $ 7, which would be reasonable for a professional hem job.
Overall, I was incredibly disappointed with the quality of the work by Mary Jane and I shall continue my search for a high-​quality tailor in St. Louis.

I’ve been taking clothes to Mary Jane for years — she does great work and I’ve never had any issues with anything that she’s tailored whereas I’ve had that happen at other places like Nordstrom or Men’s Wearhouse. She takes pride in her work and does it well!

I am addicted to daily deal fashion sites. I have found some good deals — however, since you can’t try the outfits on, sometimes you’re stuck with a beautiful designer $ 20 dress that doesnt quite fit right. I was in this situation recently and figured I should see if a tailor could help. What Not to Wear is always talking about tailoring, so maybe I should invest in this. I picked Artistic Tailoring because I live near it. I stopped in with my dress and the owner was very nice. She recommended that I not only hem the dress but also take it in a bit at the hips to make it look nicer. A week later, I picked up the dress and it fits like a glove — she made my $ 20 discount dress look like a million bucks.
Being short, I’ve had to get things hemmed before and have done it at the dry cleaner. This certainly costs a bit more than that. Although I’ve never had a tailor at the dry cleaners ask if I want other alterations done so the price difference could be simply because I had the hem and hips done when previously I’ve only gotten things hemmed. But she did a beautiful job. I will certainly stop in again.

Excellent workmanship at a reasonable price.

This woman can work wonders with anything… and I mean… ANYTHING.
I had a bridesmaid’s dress that was (I kid you not) three sizes too big and a foot too long… I mean, I could take this thing on and off without even unzipping… it was like wearing a potato sack… I had little hope for this dress until I brought it here.
She pinned it in about 5 minutes, had it ready in a week, and it now fits like a glove. I mean, it looks amazing… not even the same dress. She removed bones from the bodice, took the length up, and made it so I don’t have to worry about the strapless dress horror of my chest falling out midway down the aisle…(yes, this is actually a genuine fear of mine…)
She is a bit pricey but if you need to get work done and will be forever immortalized in your friends photos, it’s worth paying a little more to have quality work… check her out… she is completely amazing.
