    I had two different items I wanted altered about a year apart. I reached out to her several times and never heard back on either project.

    Never responded to my call, had to go somewhere else for alterations. Respectfully go somewhere else that's interested in your business

    Great experience, Sylvia's was much less than the other quote provided and she did the job in the same day.

    OMG Carol and her team were beyond amazing! She had to take my dress in 4 sizes since I could not…read moreget the dress I wanted on order in time and had to buy the sample from the wedding salon. She made it custom and added items I requested and had me checked every two weeks since I was still losing weight. She also sold me another dress she had for the night before and she customized that and did the initials on all the girls pajamas for my wedding party. Her team took great care and communicated well and did my mom and replacement bridesmaid last minute alterations! I cannot say enough wonderful things about hers d her team ! I will be going back with more business for her!

    I don't think I've ever left a review for anyone, and I really hate that I'm having to leave a…read morenegative review, but I feel like I need to share my experience because this involved something completely irreplaceable--my mom's wedding dress. I brought the dress here to have it altered and updated for my own wedding. I was very clear about what I wanted, brought printed inspiration photos, and emailed the photos. Someone even responded to my email, yet whenever I referenced them during appointments, I was told they didn't have them and asked to send them again. My biggest concern was how quickly permanent changes were made without what felt like a clear plan. Cutting began almost immediately, and one of my favorite parts of my mom's original dress was cut off and removed. Whenever I expressed concern, I was repeatedly told the dress was a "work in progress" and that things had to be cut or removed. I tried to trust the process, but my concerns were often dismissed in a way that made me feel like I simply didn't understand alterations. As time went on, it felt like there was a separate "vision" for my dress that took priority over what I had actually requested. I was even told at one point that what I wanted would look "too casual." No notes seemed to be taken, things were pinned without explanation, and requests we had discussed were forgotten or never completed. One of my appointments was canceled, and when I eventually saw the dress again, essentially none of the changes I had requested had been made. Boning had been added despite the rest of the dress being nowhere near complete. When attempts were made to undo some of the changes, the dress was damaged even further. That was when I decided to take it back. I left in tears. I would not recommend this business for a sentimental garment, redesign, reconstruction, or complicated alteration. Based on my experience, I would only consider them for very small, straightforward alterations. What upsets me most is that I would have completely understood if I had simply been told that what I wanted was outside of their expertise. Instead, I was repeatedly reassured to trust the process, only to end up with irreversible changes to my mom's wedding dress. I am now having to find someone else to repair the damage just months before my wedding.
