Like everything that is quality in Charlotte, Good Food, Et. Al. - You have to wait for things. It was worth the wait at Tina's. They are located in the "Posh" Dilworth Section of Town and they serve a "Well Healed" Clientele; Parking in the Shopping Center can get a bit tight - so just be careful and be calm. Prices are fair - you get what you pay for and all good things come to those who wait; - Tina's stands by their work. I will be returning in the not so distant future to have have some pants hemmed.

I took in my beautiful dress I am wearing as the maid of honor at my sister's wedding. I went to…read moreget the hem altered, the sides taken in, and the skirt brought up slightly. Noting complicated or out of the ordinary. It had a v-neck that I felt comfortable and beautiful in. It didn't show off a ton of boob. I told them I was really happy with the neckline and didn't want that changed at all. When they were pinning me, I showed them where I wanted the skirt to go up about an inch. The seamstress said "no. 2 inches". I asked for it to be 1 inch again, but she pinned me for 2. I gave her the benefit of the doubt because she does this professionally but boy should I have listened to myself. When I came in to get my dress, I tried it on and was so upset and stunned silently in a bad way by the fit. The waist was way to high that not only caused me to looks wide and disproportionate but because they shortened the bodice too much, the entire bodice was riding up and not laying flat, the wide straps had a gap between my shoulder and the fabric, and the armpit area was digging into my armpit. It was as if someone had picked me up my my straps and I was dangling off the floor. I asked if they could fix anything about the waist and the arms but was told no because the dress zips perfectly. She said the only way to make the dress lay flat is to bring my breast way up with a push up or tape, something I am very uncomfortable & self-conscious with. My mom was with me & has a lot of experience sewing, grew up around seamstresses. She was kindly advocating for me because I was stunned silent with the fit and the people's attitudes who worked there. Because they shortened the bodice too much, I can never take it down where it needs to lay because of how they sewed it. Technically speaking, they ruined it. I will never come here again and encourage others to go somewhere else.
