I booked Larissa with hopes that she'd be able to help me with my bridesmaid dress from Revelry for…read morea wedding in May. The dress I ordered was way too big and needed the bust, waist and some length taken off on the bottom. Once I got there and put on the dress, she pinched the side of the dress with just her fingers, asked me where else I wanted it to get taken in, then went to write up an estimate. She didn't pin it, she didn't take chalk to the bottom to know how much to alter too. When she came back she said it would be too expensive. I asked her what the price would be, because that wasn't very clear. She said it would cost $310 to alter everything. I asked her how much it would be to keep the length and just take the sides and bust, she replied " well how are you going to walk?". I figured I would be able to take the length myself and have her take in the rest, as it's only a french seem at the bottom of the dress. However, I was a little taken back by the comment and decided to find another place to get my alterations done as her step price seemed a little too steep for me. The next day I booked an alterations at Nordstrom,and they quoted me $110 dollars for everything I asked for from Larisa. I have no doubt that Larissa is very skilled however, I feel like the price for alterations was a little too steep in my opinion for a bridesmaid dress.

Please read this review before considering going to this shop…read more I brought my wedding dress in to be altered 3 months before my wedding date. Larisa demanded full payment up front, charged a $75 credit card fee, and said the only time I could pick up the dress was the week before my wedding (she said no to a second fitting). The total charges were $1,325.00 for the alterations (to hem the dress, bring the top in, shorten the straps, and add a bustle) and an additional $250.00 for the dress to be steamed. With the credit card charge added in, the total ended up being $1,649.00. I went to this appointment by myself, and she took advantage of that fact. She intentionally and predatorially took advantage of the fact that I have not done this before and was by myself. Within 5 hours of me leaving the shop, I went back to cancel the transaction and get my dress back. The shop was closed. I returned the next day at 11:00 AM, and still the shop was closed. I was then forced to call her and say that I want a refund, and that I want to pick up my dress. She was unpleasant and unreasonable, stating that the only time the dress could be picked up was nearly a week later and that she had already started cutting (less than 24 hours from when I dropped of the dress). I find that very hard to believe, considering the only option I had to pick up my dress was a week before my wedding, which was 3 months away. There is a lot more to this story, including her not giving me a full refund, making rude comments about my mother-in-law's nationality, telling me "I'm too young to speak to her like that" when I was assertive about getting a refund and hanging up on me. She also admitted that if I went to another seamstress, they would charge me $900. When she was presented with the fact that she took advantage of me, her response was "well, why did she come by herself?" - two clear admissions of her horrible morals and lack of character. Overall, she is racist, ageist, and volatile. Please, please, please do not go to her for service!

I walked in and she greeted me with a smile so I asked her if she could replace the zipper for me and while i stood there she pulled out a little box with many pull tabs and she proceeded to replace the pull tab and the zipper stop on the other side. It took her all of 5 minutes to fix my jacket with a pair of pliers and BEST OF ALL, I asked her how much I owed her for the repair and she graciously smiled at me and replied to me, "NO CHARGE"! WHO DOES THAT ANYMORE?! THAT is what GREAT Customer Service is ALL ABOUT!! She has gained a returning customer if we ever need to have another article of clothing tailored or repaired! She told me that replacing the entire zipper would have cost me $35.00 so in this crazy horrible economy, I appreciated her saving me the $35.00! That's a half-tank of gas nowadays!

From the very first fitting, she listened so carefully to every request, made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process, and brought an incredible level of expertise and care to every detail.

Overall, the…read morewedding dress turned out okay, but alterations should've been minimal and ended up being too tight and nearly impossible to sit in. I should've done more research before agreeing to getting my alterations done here because I realized only after the fact that it was extremely overpriced. I paid almost as much as I paid for the dress, and again alterations were minimal (plus it was insisted that every single button was resewn on to ensure they didn't fall off - additional cost after the initial consult). I do blame my lack of knowledge in this area, but hopefully my review can push others to do their research.

The skirt of the dress had multiple layers of thin cloth, and a short train, and would take time. We went to Lulu Tailor and asked if she could do it before prom. I told her I would pay extra. She had my daughter try it on, took measurements, and had her walk around. My poor daughter was tripping over the train every time she turned around. Lulu suggested modifying it and we agreed. She quoted me $120, which was at the top of the posted range for hemming gowns. I was thrilled since it was a rush job. The gown was done in 4 days. She somehow kept the ethereal, floating look of the dress, but my daughter could move freely. It was gorgeous! Best of all, it was $98, less than the quote. Highly recommend!

I sent her a photo of my dress and she was able to provide me an accurate estimate up front before booking for what I could expect the alterations to cost. And she was 100% accurate too with no hidden additional fees. She also never once suggested unnecessary alterations and even told me that my dress didn't need any hemming as long as I picked the right height shoe. Because I trusted her so much, after the wedding I asked her for suggested cleaners to get my dress professionally cleaned. She coordinated the service on my behalf and even offered to fix some minor things with my dress.
