    Dress
    Natally O.

    Amazinging results. I had bought a tia Pepa costume online and size was much smaller than expected. I came here on short notice and they were able to find material that was exactly the same and added ruffles, my costume fit in time for my party and it looked so beautiful!! Amazing work, will definitely come here again and recommend to anyone.

    Adding additional alterations to my dress on the spot

    So wish I had found this hidden gem years ago. I used to drive to Downtown LA for alterations. Now in just a couple minutes, I come here. The ladies at Melly's are super knowledgeable & professional. They were able to add a slit to my bridesmaid dress with no issues. Melly's is my new go to for dress alterations. Added bonus, they have beautiful dresses for sale for weddings, quinceaneras, bridesmaids, proms, etc.

    We went to Melly's at the suggestion of a coworker. This place is very clean. The staff was amazing. They did a great job on our suit and dress for our daughters wedding. Reasonably priced also!

    Altered a dress for me and the quality was good but price was way too high. Owner wasn't too friendly or warm either. Won't be coming back.

    The work was well done I cannot complain about that. The prices are a little on the high side. But the work was good.

    Great service, super friendly. Melly is a perfectionist in tailoring. My daughter needed her bridal dress tailored and it came out perfect.

    Came in looking for a suit for a wedding. The next day was super helpful. Something that I wear…read more Grateful that I found this place and definitely will be coming back for more.

    I'm actually shocked that this place has such good reviews. Also not shocked since I was promised a…read morediscount in exchange for a review. TLDR: Dress has sloppy and downright lazy alterations (see photos attached for their work so you can judge for yourself) The owner Shaker is condescending, rude and doesn't know how to run a business. I was initially quoted $75 for a hem but was told it would be $60 if I left a review. I come back the next day because of the price, location, the good reviews, and his confidence that he could do a good job. (Yes I do my research on the area before giving my business) I gave his associate the dress and let them know I needed the dress by October 27th which is a few weeks before the wedding. I told him I wanted the dress on that date just in case I needed more work done. I was assured that "this is an easy alteration and it would only need a day to work on it." His words not mine. I come back on the 27th and I'm noticing that the stitching on the bottom is completely wonky, lopsided, and some parts aren't even stitched correctly. (see attached photos and make your own conclusions. The work speaks for itself) I wish I had said something but I was trying to be ok with it. I show my friends the alteration and everyone has the same WTF expression at how bad the dress was. When I called, Shaker blamed a new employee and told me to bring it back. (Ok sure but this is YOUR business, YOU need to do quality control.) At the shop, he dismissed my concerns and acted annoyed when I said the entire hem needed redoing. I show him photos while he's looking at the dress and I tell him " I don't even know what's wrong with this (pointing at the stitching)" and he condescendingly tells me "yeah that's a stitch". Yes I know it's a stitch but why is it all zig zag and uneven? He tells me that this "is an easy fix" (his words again not mine) and they will fix the spots he sees. The whole bottom of the dress is messed up and he's trying to take the easy/lazy path out AGAIN. I tell him no the whole thing needs to be worked on and he grudgingly agrees and says ok but it's going to take some time. Once I get home I realize he said SHE will work on it. I call him and tell him I don't feel comfortable with the new employee working on my dress again if that's her idea of good work. I'd rather get a refund and get my dress back and go somewhere else. This is when he starts to raise his voice. The gist of our conversation: 1. Shaker: I'm working on this dress twice without charging you again and you already want a refund? (I just dropped off the dress again a few minutes ago so no work had been done yet. Also he's only working on my dress twice because HE messed up NOT because of something else needing alteration) 2. Shaker: You were the one who haggled for the price. (I didn't do any haggling. If me trying to leave the store after politely declining and him lowering the price as I'm leaving is haggling, then sure.) 3. Shaker: You should have looked at the dress before leaving. (Blaming ME for HIM not doing his job. I did look at the dress and tell him how bad the alteration was... but that's also YOUR job. It's YOUR business) I let them "fix" it anyway just to move on. I pick up the dress today (10/29) and it's... better. The stitching is more even but it's jaggedy and I'm noticing parts where the stitch doesn't even go through where it's supposed to go. I'm also now noticing new stains on the dress. (This dress is brand new with the tags on and has sat in it garment bag since it was received in the mail) Overall: The workmanship was poor, the customer service was unprofessional, and quality control seems nonexistent. I would not recommend this business.
