The dress was pretty, but it was a size 14 and I had another bridal appointment scheduled. I felt I either had to buy the dress or walk away and risk losing it. I decided to buy. I knew it mean more money and more work, but it was totally worth it. Kristen removed at least two sizes, yet it looked like I purchased the appropriate size. I received a lot of compliments. The dress looked amazing. Thank you for taking such good care of me and my dress.

Kirsten with the Original Sewing Room was amazing! She was so helpful, kind, and professional. Each…read moretime I went in for a fitting she was willing to answer all of my questions and even had some fantastic suggestions. For example, my dress had a very long train. Instead of a wrist strap, she suggested creating a floral hoop to carry my train before bustling for photos. This was a unique suggestion and something I have not seen before. It worked out amazingly well and everyone kept asking about it. It helped keep my dress clean and wrinkle-free before I bustled it. Kirsten assisted by hemming the dress, adding cups and smoothing them out, and adding a 9-point bustle. Her pricing was reasonable for high-quality work. She went above and beyond by steaming my dress and veil prior to pick up. She also helped me determine how much to shorten my veil so it wouldn't interfere with the bustle. Finally, she suggested recording how to bustle the dress which made the process go smoothly on my wedding day. The best part was the bustle held, even after hiking up a mountainside for photos and after hours of dancing. I felt beautiful in my dress on my wedding day, and that is thanks to Kirsten. She made the experience amazing and I would highly recommend her to other brides. She will not disappoint!!

I went in a total of three times- the first to do an initial try-on, the second to add the bustle and make sure things were fitting well, and the third to pick up, although even on the third visit Lucy had good suggestions and asked me to come back in about 30 minutes so she could make a quick fix/adjustment. She was lovely to work with each time, and I'll always go back if I need something altered or tailored!

I had her alter my wedding dress- it had some complicated sleeves, and bodice area but she made it look absolutely flawless. For her prices, the value is priceless. What a wonderful experience, especially as a bride not knowing how intricate a dress is as you are buying it. 10/10 experience, 10/10 service and a new favorite for any of my tailoring needs.

Moira is not only responsive but very direct with what she can do / can't do. (Many dress shops are not equipped to provide this feedback) Moira was quick to educate me on my dress and how it could be tailored specifically for me for it to be perfect for my wedding day! She is flexible and extremely skilled at what she does. She was also able to help my bridesmaid last minute to help tailor her dress as well for our destination location for my wedding.

They brought me to the back so they could show me with a ruler and it was over an inch longer on one side than the other. They said that they would fix it. We waited while they waited on other customers. The manager finally stopped chatting to ask if it was done and she was told that it had been done for awhile. It was still uneven. Another employee took me to the back again to measure and it was still over half an inch longer on one side than the other. They took it in the back to "fix," it again. They were starting to close, they brought it back out again. It was still uneven. They said that they didn't have time to fix it and that I would have to fix it at home myself. They refused a refund. Their "fixes," left holes in the garment. Terrible quality and no accountability.
