Mariana's Exquisite Designs and Alterations, a tailor shop owned and managed by a woman named [Mariana], operated in the Cloud Lake District of Ussa on the planet Bellassa during the final years of the Galactic Republic, catering primarily to affluent Ussan citizens. Following the Clone Wars and the subsequent takeover of the planet by the Galactic Empire, the tailor shop experienced a downturn in business, leading Mariana to accept sewing contracts from the Empire. The majority of her Bellassan customers then chose to avoid the shop, resulting in a significant decrease in daily patrons. Despite this, the shop maintained a steady flow of work by sewing and tailoring uniforms for the Imperial garrison and the Imperial [Prison](/article/prison/legends] located on Ussa.
The establishment's location was directly opposite both the Olin and Lands agency and Dorma's Cafe. A small alleyway allowed entry to the back entrance of the shop.
