She is truly old-school--an experienced professional who has dedicated her entire life to this craft. The detail, care, and skill she put into the alterations were nothing short of remarkable, and the dress fit like it was made just for her. When I had the chance to sit and talk with her, I learned her life story and was reminded what a hardworking and honorable woman she is. It saddens me to see some of the poor reviews, because my experience was the exact opposite. I can only assume some people expect to be coddled or approach her with a sense of entitlement. If you appreciate quality, respect, and true craftsmanship, you would've be in excellent hands. Sadly, I learned recently she unexpectedly passed away.

So I went to the bank around the corner withdraw $200. I gave the old man 180. And he peeled off a fiver and handed it to me. I still have the same receipt here originally gave me. When I went to go pick up my dresses today, they told me I hadn't paid. Still wondering why they did the work if I hadn't paid them according to their own policy. Well, I left with my property. I just scooped up my dresses and walked down the street because they were mine and I've already paid for the services I've received. The old followed me down the street and assaulted me. Threw me against the plate glass window of an antique store. Thankfully, the people in the store came out and defused the situation. Do not go there. They will steal from you. And possibly assault you. I'm not the only one. It's happened to other people. I think they only take cash because they are laundering money. I'm asking SLED to get involved.

I found a blog on Evelyn, and thought, hey let's take a chance. I went to meet her earlier this year with my mom and my dress in hand. She was able to quickly know what needed to be done. I asked to have another fitting when I returned for my shower this weekend when I would have a couple other family members in town to see the dress. Saturday I went to try on the dress, and it fit perfectly! I am so excited that everything looked fabulous and I will get to wear such a beautiful dress on my big day! Her customer service is amazing as well. She was willing to show my sister how to lace a corset back dress and what to do on my big day with no problem. She also gave us suggestions with purchasing a steamer in order to steam some of the wrinkles as it gets closer to the wedding. Any questions any of us had, she had an answer with no problem. Do not hesitate to travel downtown to Evelyn for your alterations. Her prices are very reasonable as well.

I came across Evelyn on Yelp and liked her work on her website. What impressed me the most was her turn around time (1 week) so I figured I'd give her a call and cross my fingers everything goes well. The consultation was 30 minutes exact, super easy and she was very outgoing as we talked about the details of my wedding. She told me to come back on Wednesday (my appointment was Monday). Evelyn did an AMAZING job hemming my wedding dress as well as adding a clasp to replace me having to tie a bow in the back of the dress. I'm amazed how quickly she was able to do it in 2 days, I was honestly expecting a week from what her website stated. I highly recommend her to any bride that needs alterations, especially if you're on a time crunch or other businesses are booked.
