FEMME PROGRESSIVE

"Kind and friendly you can always find something sweet. The greatest of all is the kindness within her. There is tailor in case you need something altered to fit. Sweet finds."

"Miriam the owner was polite and professional when I met her for the first time. She did a terrible job on my mother's dress. We asked her to add sleeves to the dress and hem the bottom of the dress.She made the sleeves uneven. She also made the hem uneven. She altered the waistline of the dress without us asking her to do so, it made the too tight on my mom.She left pins in the lining and left the lining halfway undone. We asked for two simple things to be done add sleeves and hem the bottom.She kept the dress for 2 months and did a terrible job. Every time I called to ask when the dress would be ready she always had an excuse.We had to take the dress to another seamstress. The second seamstress could not believe the terrible work she did. I would not recommend her to anyone."

"Mariame gave me exceptional customer service. She remixed a couple of leather pieces for me and you cannot see where the alteration was done it literally seamless. I am also getting some leather pieces made and will post pics and review it as well :) - if you’re looking for a seamless seamstress, professional and punctual.... this is it!!"

"I met Mariame last year, I fell in love with the dress in the window and went into the store. She said she could make the dress that I wanted the way I wanted it, prices are very fair with all the work she does. I loved the result so I keep going to her store in Harlem. She has become a dear friend, always a pleasure to visit her store!!!"

"Mariame from Femme Progressive designed and created the dress for my civil marriage ceremony. She is a fantastic Harlem-based designer and seamstress who was able to quickly sketch out exactly what I had in mind as well as make some excellent suggestions. The result was a unique, wonderful and custom-made dress created in just a short period of time. I could not have been happier with it! The price was also very reasonable, and the quality was definitely worth the investment. In addition to her talent, Mariame is also a delight to work with. Her kindness, humour and professionalism go a long way."
