The dress needed to be taken in in several places and Jinu knew I was on a time crunch and said she can get the work done. I was very nervous because she had to completely take apart the lace detail in my dress and put it all back together to create the right fit. I was worried my dress was going to be ruined, but Jinu put it all back together and better than ever. My dress fit like a glove and I know she worked very long nights to get it done in time for my wedding. She LOVES working on wedding gowns and it is truly her speciality. I highly recommend Jinu for your wedding gown alterations!

Upon visiting and meeting the owners, Fred and Renee, I knew it would be a great fit for my alteration needs. Not only am I petite and had a variety of pants, coats, etc. that needed hemmed or modified to be 'ready to wear', but I began a new position and needed formal business attire altered to be office-ready. Renee does a consult for every piece in the mirror with clients, verifies the type of shoes to be worn, asks clarifying questions, and then has the items done within a week or so (perhaps sooner, but so far I haven't needed anything in a rush.) In terms of value, I also believe the pricing to be very affordable and quality. PRO-TIP: be sure to bring either the exact shoes you'll be wearing with pants you want hemmed or similar styles so the length will be accurate. Note: They're closed Sundays & Mondays & open until 4PM so plan accordingly.

Had a 5+ star experience with Diane at A Fitting Creation…read more I needed a repair made to a dress that I stepped on and caused a tear in the skirt. I made an appointment drop off and web made our way to A Fitting Creation. It's not located far from US 40. Diane has her own building adjacent to her home. It's clean and comfortable. It was a snowy/icy morning and Diane's husband made sure that a path was cleared and that I got inside safely. Drop off was easy. Diane discussed our options, depending upon how things worked out when she dug into the repair. I don't wasn't in a hurry to get the dress back at all. She called a few weeks later and the dress was complete. She had me try it on so that I could be sure everything was as it should be. The dress was great. I couldn't even tell where the repair had been made. Her fee was beyond reasonable. She offers a number of great services, including a mail in service if you just need something like a zipper or other repair that doesn't affect fit. She also has a day-of bridal service where she's with the entire bridal party to ensure there are no issues with fit or presentation. I highly recommend Diane and will look to her in the future. She's a kind and engaging woman, on top of being a talented seamstress.

Essentially, cutting the dress would cause all the beads to unravel. We talked through any options - we had only 1. Either create darts and "rouche" the dress on the sides (which would change the look entirely) or just leave it long and deal with it. The dress was lined, so I asked her to take up the liner. It was $30, which I suppose is good for her time, but in retrospect I probably could have done it myself for free at the library. The liner isn't visible, so it didn't need to be professionally done. We left it long. I dealt with it.

Now for the dress, I absolutely love my dress and how it was altered and bustled. When I bought my dress, I was in between sizes, so I ordered the size up to be safe. I ended up losing weight, so my actual address ended up being way too big. Karen was able to work her magic and bring the waist in as tight as I needed it to be, even with such a delicate fabric and style of dress. The bustle ended up working perfectly on the dance floor. I enjoyed the train for the pictures in the ceremony, but was able to party with no issues. Highly recommend!
