Fashion Designs By Deborah Rose

You can select from numerous letter-sizes or send a message with your measurements. Since everything is handmade, adjustments can be made to fit each size. If I remeember correctly, I think the piece I bought was marketed as a top/dress but I wore it as a beach cover up. I loved the lime green colour and the light material. Although the lime green was the primary colour, the other colours toned it down so it was not overly dramatic. It was perfect for a windy day on a boat. On the website, prices are clearly marked and depending on how much you spend, free shipping is offered. Along with the dress pictured, I also ordered a comfie ankara print romper, which I gifted to my sister. She loved it. Deborah makes one of a kind pieces that can complement any body, for any occasion. She can also turn your visions into an incredible outfit. She is a talented seamstress and creative fashion designer. I highly recommend her.

Fantastic service!…read more Deborah absolutely slayed my high waist pants. I'd bought some African material and intended for someone else to make my pants but was not successful. I got on Yelp and searched for someone else and came across Deborah's business page. Even though she didn't have any reviews, the pictures on her page caught my attention. From the moment I called to yesterday when I picked up my pants, she has always been pleasant and attentive. She is a true professional and expert seamstress as sometimes she simply eyed what needed to be done and it was a perfect fit during the fitting. If you do not know what you want made, her shop has some pre-made African attire. While that is her specialty, that is not all that does. I have seen some pictures where she has designed and made prom dresses. She is the real deal!!! I will certainly be back. I am already scouting new material to get something made for my son and I. SN: I am leaving this review for the person like me who may be looking for a seamstress, comes across her page and would like to know their experience. In a nutshell, YOU WILL NOT BE SORRY!!!

This past weekend I was trying on the dress I got for my best friend's welcome party for her destination wedding. The zipper got stuck, then it broke, and my panic for having a new dress for this occasion in under a week set in. I used Yelp assistant to put in a request to local alterations spots and let them know I had a broken zipper off the track of a formal dress and I needed it fixed before Tuesday. This request was sent on a Saturday afternoon, so to be honest I was not very hopeful of any replies but Carolina replied right away. Her studio is right by my apartment so she told me to take my dress in right then to see if it could be fixed. She fixed the zipper on the spot, and when we actually tried on the dress we realized that I did not fit. Welcome to my nightmare. She had the brilliant idea to alter the dress and add fabric on the sides to give me the inches I needed. The result is essentially a custom dress that I am obsessed with, and at a great price. I am definitely going to keep Carolina on speed dial for any of my alterations needs as she is super sweet, detail oriented, and very well priced. Her studio is located in a blue building on Mediera and there is street parking right in front. Thank goodness for both request a quote and Carolina for saving my dress fiasco.

Fashion Alterations and Shoe Repair

Brought my favorite sandals and diaper bag to get fixed…read more The issue with my sandals was that the gold plating on the open front toe area was starting to lift slightly (other sandal was fine) I thought they could just use some type of really good shoe glue to fix the problem but the guy said it was best to nail down the gold plating on both the shoes despite there being no problem with the other foot for preventive reasons, made a lot of sense so I said ok. Issue with my diaper bag was that the front pull tab was missing and because the pull tabs on all the zippers are identical with company logo on it, I wanted them to match. So I had them take pull tab from the inside zipper to place on the missing front pull tab zipper and use a generic pull tab for the inside zipper where no one will really see it. Ok so they did everything according to how we discussed but not in a clean neat manner. The nails he used to nail down the gold plating on my sandals are silver?! You'd think gold nails would be used so it'll blend in nicely so that really annoyed me. Next annoying rant was my diaper bag looked really dirty it had lint all on the bottom from sitting on the shelf and had dirt stains on the sides! I dropped this bag off in like new condition. I had to go home and hand wash the dirtiness off my bag. I was charged $25 in total for the fixtures. Which I wouldn't have mind if they actually paid more attention to details and handled my items as if they were their own. Poor negligence definitely don't recommend this place. Go elsewhere.

Holiday weekend and it's…read moreearly Sunday and we need to get laundry done for upcoming week while service call pending for home repair. We noted this small location with good reviews locally. What insued was formal chaos. Business was packed with clients at 10am. It appears like parking , everyone starts at closest machines to door and stake their area. The place is lined in center with washers of different sizes and along the south wall are large commercial dryers. Those rolling carts are everywhere and people use as blocking devices. Washing was 3.50 up and drying was 2.00 per cycle. Best to add a couple quarters at that time or you will have to add full amount for dryers specifically. Place is clean overall with limited folding tables and chairs for sitting. No formal sitting area other than 2 chairs at back. Restrooms appeared available. Attendants were available and assisting. Overall more than average rating, but unlike some new bigger facilities where space is appreciated, around so many people and lack of manners and any politeness. We actually had one individual come up and start using our dryer while still with time as we tried to shift another dryers holding to it. No apologies and no basic request. Wasn't worth a battle over his bad habits.

However, they recently went above and beyond for my mother and I. We had a wedding to go to and needed her suit tailored STAT but when we walked in there they were slammed with prom dresses (prom season). It was a Tuesday and we needed it done by Saturday. I also dropped off a bridesmaid dress and 2 pairs of pants that I would not need until the end of the month (a good 3 weeks). They promised that the suit would be done in time and that was good enough for us. When we went to pick it up, my bridesmaid dress and 2 pants were done also! They rushed up that process as well because they knew I had to head back up to Gainesville. Totally unexpected and appreciated. They will absolutely be getting more of my business when I am down south in the future. The work was quality and the mother/daughter duo could not have been kinder and more professional. Great place.

I explained that I was shopping for alterations and needing expedited services and asked how much. I want to be clear she does not speak English very well and it was hard to communicate. she continued to have my daughter try on the dress and measure without any communication and simply handed me a bill. This isn't the problem, the problem is when coming into any establishment you should be greeted with customer service and provide explanation when providing said service. I have no alteration experience therefore how would I know?! I explained to the woman that I in fact was at the wrong location and would have to check with the other place and come back ( I had an appointment). She rudely snatched the ticket, mumbled in Spanish rude ( in which I understood) and then snatched the dress from my daughter's hand. When I explained that I would possibly be back and the communication was unclear she began to argue and I simply told her had she perhaps explained there wouldn't be a problem. After her behavior why would I even stay? She was rough with the dress, extremely rude and even snatched the entire business card out of my hand. There is absolutely no reason to put your hands on anyone. Both my daughters where startled by her aggression and attitude. I am a business owner and would pay thousands before ever stepping foot into this establishment. She is angry and clearly unhappy with her job. I will report to the BBB and be sure to tell everyone I know who comes to my business to never use them. There are plenty of other alterations even in the same shopping center. Customers being treated right is the only way you establish business. I cannot believe this place is still open. Go anywhere but here if you want to be treated with respect. It doesn't matter how great your work is If your rude and miserable to clients.

I had been to two previous tailors/seamstresses in Fort Lauderdale and was quoted $30 and $35. I thought the prices were outrageous and put getting them cuffed on the back burner. When I walked into the shop today, which is immaculate, stylish and what a tailor/seamstress shop should look like, I was warmly greeted by a man and a woman who were smiling. That makes a huge impression and difference when walking into any type of business! I showed them my pants, asked how much to hem/cuff them and was told $18! I put them on in their more within a more than adequate dressing room, stood up on the platform, the tailor marked them appropriately and said they'd be done in one week. I reminded him that would be on Thanksgiving. He laughed and said that Friday! The process was so easy that when you pay, they input your name and cell phone number into their computer, so when one pays, they're instantly sent a text receipt reflecting the customer's name, order number, job being done and cost of the job. It is a cashless business. Even though I have yet to pick up the pants, I'm confident that their work will be spot on!
