I will never be giving this business my money again…read more I brought my bridal shower dress in on June 3 and was promised it would be ready by July 3. When I called on the promised pickup date, I was told it wasn't finished and that she needed more time. I specifically explained that I needed my dress well before my July 12 bridal shower so there would be time to make any necessary adjustments if needed. Instead, I was left dealing with unnecessary stress over a missed deadline. The dress fit me 3x bigger as I bought a bigger size on purpose so that she can alter it accordingly to my body. It zipped and buttoned without any issues. After the alterations, it would no longer zip or button across my upper back. Instead of taking the time to evaluate her work or acknowledge that something may have gone wrong, I was immediately told that I had "gained weight." While poking my back with her finger. That was insulting and completely dismissive. When I returned to discuss the issue, I was hoping for accountability or even a sincere apology. Instead, I received neither. There was no ownership of the situation and no genuine concern for the inconvenience and frustration this caused. Yet I STILL paid. No discount, no sorry, nothing. So I took everything I had given to her prior and will be taking my business, my friends, and family to another business that cares. My advice to anyone considering alterations here is to insist on having your measurements taken with a tape measure in addition to any pinning. My dress was pinned, but no measurements were taken, and after my experience I would not be comfortable relying on pinning alone. When someone trusts you with an important garment especially for a once in a lifetime event they deserve professionalism, clear communication, accountability, and respect. Unfortunately, that was not my experience, and because of that I will not be returning or recommending this business to others.
