I like to get my jeans tailored and keep the original bottom hem, which she does very well IMO, and unlike other tailors I've never had to explain what I mean when I ask for this. One time, I was working late and called her back a bit after her operating hours. She was already on her way home and, even though I told her I could stop in the next day, she came back to get me my dress/work clothes! I believe she did this because I was in the parking lot of her store. Point is, she is a very sweet lady who clearly takes pride in her work and will work with you on whatever you need.

When we went to the shop on 4/1/2023, we were advised that the dress would be altered from a size 14 to fit my daughter who is a size 6. For whatever reason, the bottom of the dress was not altered to her measurements. When we tried the dress on 4/10/2023, there is a huge gap at the waist that allows a person to see straight down the back of the dress. Her prom was 4/15/2023 so we had to take it to a seamstress in Indianapolis to take the dress in further. There was about 3 inches of dress that had to be removed. We were charged $55 for the services. When i spoke to Shetland, she agreed to a partial refund of $26. In our conversation you cited the lack of time as the reason that you were not able to complete the alterations as we agreed on 4/1. My response was that you should not have accepted the job given the tight timeline if you were not sure that you would be able to do the job as agreed. If you had been open about your reservations with altering the dress, we had an agreement with Art at La Merite dress shop to not purchase the dress. But you said that you could do it so we bought the dress and paid for the alterations. When my sister went to get the $26 dollar's yesterday, Svetlana only gave her $17 and told her to get out of her shop. Incredibly rude, unprofessional, and poor quality work. I would NEVER allow to go near a garment again

It felt very unprofessional and uncomfortable. When I explained that I needed my dress taken in, they said they couldn't do it, which is honestly ridiculous for a place that specializes in alterations.

The price quoted was comparable to others. They explained what they were quoting and there could be unknown repairs (such as new foam which was not unexpected due to age) they may find once they started the restoration work. We had a couple of changes in the project, but they were very fair and the end result was far better for it. I believe a professional would take the extra care to requote to ensure the end product was good and not just a "cheap" job. The work is quality and the pieces are beautiful. I get tons of compliments and proud. I'm pleased with JG's work and would not hesitate to recommend. Deb W, Webster Groves

I found that he used to have a storefront in Brentwood but since COVID has moved to working out of the basement of his house near Creve coeur.

Leonard was incredible to work with and such a fun person to talk to, he obviously takes a lot of pride in his work and it was very apparent that he appreciates the women's form by the output of his work. All said and done all the work I asked for was done within a week and for a very reasonable price. When I have other tailoring needs I will definitely call up Leonard again!

However, they had the dress for 4 months and did not get it finished until less than a week before the wedding! They blamed my daughter that she gave the dress to them late! She dropped it off in February and the wedding is in May. Late? They waited until the last minute. Second they told her at the first fitting, she was too fat for the dress and needed to lose weight! My daughter would not get the dress if it was the wrong size. They said that they would let it out. They did not, they made it tighter. Third, they agreed to put in buttons on the bodice but because they were not finished with it, they rushed it and sewed in a zipper crooked. We could not zip it when she brought it home. Fourth, they partially unattached the satin ribbon belt to put in the zipper. I get that, but not tack it back on? So I had to sew in hook and eyes down the dress and re attach the belt and sewed on any lace and applique that was not sewn on. They owe me $$$$!
