    The seamstress ruined my daughter's prom dress with 4 days until prom. Please view the photographs of the damage she did to the dress. She was asked to hem the dress, fit the bodice, and add pockets to the dress. She did a terrible job on all three requests and ruined the skirt in the process. I was told I had to pay the bill before I was able to see the dress. When I looked over the skirt, I immediately saw issues. The length of the skirt was correct but she removed ALL the tulle underneath which means the dress lays flat and no longer has volume. The hem was done poorly and shows raw edges on both the lining and the over skirt. The removal of the tulle left the underlayer of the skirt riddled with holes. I pointed this out to the seamstress and she offered to reattach the tulle to the dress but stated it would not be finished until the day before Prom. Thinking it was a fluke, I left the skirt and took the bodice home. At home, I looked over the bodice closely and noticed she didn't finish attaching the straps properly. Instead of inserting the straps into the bodice she tacked them in very loosely with 2 large stitches on the outside of the fabric. A seam was left raw inside the bodice as well. I was upset so I went to pick up the skirt the next day to see what could be salvaged. I walked into the business and the skirt was brought to me. I pointed out the small black scorch iron marks on the sides of the dress (its light peach). The seam stress said she had nothing black at the shop despite the black pens and equipment clearly visible on the counter and in the work area. The hems of the underlayer and overskirt were not repaired. Additionally, the tulle was placed 6 inches away from the hem of the skirt so now it had volume - except for 6inches of the bottom which folded in and hung flat. Ripping away the tulle again will cause further damage to the garment. The tulle also now had 2 large holes in the fabric. The pockets were also supposed to be invisible and are awkwardly visible. They will not lay flat. The seamstress refused even a partial refund on the poor quality job. You are much better off DIYing your tailoring compared to this. My daughter will not have an official Prom dress - we are out time for shopping. I will be pursuing small claims for damages.

    an exceptional fit cut.

    It is an excellent business where I took my clothes to make and I obtained one of the best satisfactions at a good price.

    If I could I would rate this a negative but one it is. DO NOT TRUST THEM!! THIS IS NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER!!! My family and I have used this shop so many times but since has changed owners. The new owner Raquel is absolutely horrible along with her daughter. My daughter who's wedding is in just days away dropped off her dress in May. My mother went with her and they gave Raquel and her her daughter specification on how she wanted her dress altered. My daughter was told a date to go in for her first fitting. She went in and was devastated. She had chopped the dress which no cutting was supposed to be done until after this fitting. Raquel's daughter Sonia yelled at my daughter and her friend and became very defensive, making my daughters nightmare even worse. My daughter left crying and was told it could be fixed but what she wanted done now had to change. My daughter went to pick up her dress on 9-9-23 and it was worse. It looks like she now as a rabbit tail "cotton tail". The train was literally bunched up and looks horrible. She has literally 11 days before her wedding and now has no dress. I called Raquel after my daughter had called me upset. I explained how the dress was horrible and she wanted to try and fix it. I told her we had lost all trust in her and told her she needed to pay for the dress. She told me to come in on Sunday 9-10-23 after about a 7-8 min conversation. I asked her what time and she said 11am. I drove all the way from Arizona and arrived at 10:48am. I called to let her know I was there since she said the business was closed but she would be there. I left a message. I called again closer to 11am, She answered and said she would NOT be paying for the dress and she would just fix it and would not let me in like she said. She never apologized nor did she have any remorse. So again my daughter is without a dress and no money. As a business owner myself this is absolutely unacceptable!!!

    I've taken several pieces to be altered to Socorro and she always does a great job. She's a little pricey but you won't regret going to her.

    He said that the craftsmanship of the dress he had designed was top notch and he would be hard pressed to find a seamstress in Hollywood area that could do as good a job.

I didn't have time to find a coin operated laundry mat so I text Chris, the owner of Cj's Drycleaners and he responded right away saying he could accommodate all the bags of laundry I had, including rugs. I had 4 large bags and they had it done the same day and I picked them up the following morning. Everything was so nice and clean, and folded! I was only charged $100. The reason I'm only giving 4 stars is because the 2nd time I brought the same amount of laundry, this time there was a large expensive pillow included but I was charged approx $140 for the same amount and the pillow was not only still wet, it was damaged on both ends and it's not so comfortable anymore. Not only that, much of the laundry was still wet and they forgot to give me an entire bag that had all my towels and dishcloths. I'm also missing at least one pair of jeans and I have a feeling there is more missing that I haven't discovered yet. Overall, the service is wonderful and they did an amazing job the first time. Perhaps this was a hiccup, it happens but I wanted to give them another shot before reviewing.
