I had a formal dress altered by Vanya Designs. The entire process of the was easy. I scheduled an appointment and when I arrived at their shop, I was warmly greeted and did not have to wait to begin the fitting. My alteration was completed ahead of schedule and I could not have been more pleased. You will be impressed with their store location compared to most local alteration shops - Their store is well designed, has great lighting and most importantly, is clean. You will not worry that your dress while in their possession. I would recommend them to anyone and will use their store again for future alterations. read more

We ordered a fully customized suit here at the end of February. Throughout the whole process of the…read moresuit coming in and needing tailored we were in contact with this store. They would call and update us on the status of the suit and we would let them know the next time we would be able to come in (we do not live locally). We were there once again in April for a fitting. There seemed to be a completely different staff each time we visited the store, but what was consistent is each visit the employees took a very long time locating my fiancés suit. At least a 30 minute wait each time. The final time we were expecting to visit this store to pick up the suit after being tailored, they informed us that they "no longer had" the suit. Which was misleading and caused major panic, being that our wedding was two months away. Come to find out that they do have the suit, however for the last MONTH it was out on the floor to sell. They told us, FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER, that they have a policy stating that "if a suit has been at our store for over 6 months with no action, it will be returned to the floor and the account used to purchase it will be refunded". So, my fiancés fully paid for and customized suit, had gotten the customizations ripped out, and was put on the floor for sale. Which all happened in June, at 5 months post purchase. Luckily, no one had purchased it yet. We were told they "might not" be able to replace the customized inner pocket, which was included in our payment when we purchased this suit. Even worse, the account had NEVER BEEN REFUNDED. We left without the suit because there were still alterations to be done, we hoped the customization could be added back again, and they believed that the account had been refunded when it had not so that needed to be straightened out before we could bring the suit home. After this experience, we ultimately decided that we no longer wanted to keep this suit. We asked the manager on shift what our options were for reimbursement once they were able to confirm that they had in fact, not refunded the account as stated in their policy. She told us that we would either have to make the two hour drive to be refunded in store, wait 30 days for a reimbursement check to come in the mail, or accept a gift card in the same amount. I thought this was odd considering it goes against what their own policy states they should be able to do. I decided to call them at a time when the store manager was there to make it make sense. She informed me that she is in fact able to refund the account, but since we had already decided to receive a check the previous day, that she would no longer be able to do so. The store manager, Dawne, was very apologetic and wanted to sell the suit to us again at a discounted price, but we had honestly run out of patience at that point and declined. I hope that this never happens to someone again, but I think it's fair to warn people of what can happen when dealing with this store.

My dad wanted to buy me a new suit while he was visiting from out of town. While we were shopping…read morehe told the salesperson that "This is a gift for my son, I don't want him to have to pay a penny. I want to prepay for everything, including alterations." The salesperson agreed. When I returned for alterations I dealt with the same salesperson. He remembered me, but then charged me for alterations. I reminded him of what my dad said. He said that he couldn't possibly have prepaid for alterations, because we couldn't have known how much the alterations would cost. I asked why he had promised that he could. He said he wouldn't have done that. He looked up the account and saw that my dad had prepaid to get the pants hemmed, but this isn't what was agreed on. He lied to my face and then denied it when he was confronted. Lying and breaking promises is unacceptable. If he had said earlier that I would have needed to pay for alterations myself, I would have happily agreed. But that isn't what was promised. I then had many other problems with other salespeople, including the manager. Never stepping foot in a Jos A Bank again.

This was my first experience with Men's Wearhouse and for sure my last one. Very disappointed, no…read moreother way to say it. Myself and one of my stepson's was in the store looking for a new dress shirt and tie to go with his suit, for his older brother's ordination into the Catholic faith as a new priest. He also needed to get his suit altered so we knew we would be in the store for quite some time. Once we decided on the new dress shirt, tie and getting the alterations for his suit wrapped up, we needed to get him to try on the suit his younger brother has picked out for his wedding. As we were beginning the process, a manager, I assume, walked over and with a straight face made sure to let us know it was past eight o'clock and that they were closed, so we needed to leave and come back another time. The trying on of the suit to see if it needed to be altered would have taken fifteen to twenty minutes. The store could have closed the doors, not let anyone in, in order to take care of us. It did not happen, so now we have to go back another day and time to accomplish something, that we already knew, could have been taken care of while we were in the store. Extremely disappointed with the level of service this so-called manager exhibited and how disrespectful I thought he was. Please do better and try not to kick out patrons as long as they are still in the store, just so you can get home. There were plenty of people to take over for him so he could have left. Again, very disheartening to see how taking 15 or 20 minutes could have ruined his life. Do better Men's Wearhouse.

While everyone was very nice, the communication is not ideal at this establishment. I had to reach…read moreout to get information on my dress, every single time. They never once called me to notify me when my dress came in and never called when alterations were completed. I consistently had to reach out to receive any updates on anything despite them telling me that they would call. I also would not recommend getting alterations done through them. It cost $400 to have my dress altered (normal hemming and taking it in) but there was always something wrong with it every time I went in. I had to have three separate fittings to ensure it was accurate. Also, all of this occurred a week before my wedding because no one communicated to me that my alterations were done in the beginning. I was also told my alterations were "extra" in the beginning due to placing cups in the dress but at the end when the cups were removed and not put in the dress, they refused to remove the charge off the final price. While my initial experience was great, it quickly went down hill after I ordered my dress. Would not recommend.

Needless to say, I said yes to the dress at Reni's!

Ok, here's one thing about me…read more I KNOW weddings. I've been a bridesmaid 7 times. I've caught 11 bouquets. I have Macarena-ed and Cha-Cha Slided in ballgowns more times than I care to admit. So I've visited several bridal boutiques in town. Today, however, was the first time I was looking for MY wedding dress. I already knew that Reni's is pretty much "the" place to get the dress. My best friend purchased her dress here six years ago, and I remembered being impressed by the owner's personal attention and knowledge of her stock (over 900 dresses, I was told). Back to my visit. You absolutely have to have an appointment here. The store is small. There are three dressing rooms, but I think there is really only enough room for two brides to try on dresses at a time. For this level of service, you need to play by the rules. The store is locked, and you must be buzzed in by the staff. I have no problem with this, because there simply isn't room for people who are "just browsing." All of the dresses are kept in a back room, and they bring them out to you. Everyone was wonderful. Reni herself is a constant presence, and she is just fabulous-- as long as you want an honest opinion. She knows her stuff. I sat down with a catalogue and pointed out a few things I liked, and then she started bringing out the dresses. As many as I wanted to try on. I'm certain they would have let me stay there all day, but fortunately I found the perfect dress after trying on about 7 dresses. I have purchased the dress, and I will update this review in a few months when it arrives and I have the alterations made. So far, though, I could not have asked for a better dress shopping experience.
