Unique and brightly colored apparel and gifts "graced" the large front window displays. I was greeted warmly by Lisa. She knew her inventory well and made several suggestions for me; I tried on multiple items including a ruffled dress with metallic thread detail. She educated me about the unique brands behind Queen of Sparkle and Shu Shop sneakers. They carry stretchy Risen jeans, too. You can find lovely pieces to bring a unique look to your everyday wardrobe or for a special occasion. They also offer pretty accessories. Need a gift? You can find it there. I'll be back to see what Gail and Grace will offer for fall as my summer wardrobe is overflowing. Also, I'll be back for holiday gift shopping. Worth a visit! And, why not? It's lovely to be in Apex!

They also made me feel fantastic in my dress during the appointments as well. If I could give them 10 stars I would! Brides if you are looking for an alteration place look no further!

My daughter was actually considering buying a different dress because of it. Tatiana saved the day. She fixed the bodice so that it fit properly and then did the hemming and bustle as well.

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!

Sample…read moredresses in store only fit size 6 or less I couldn't tell this dress is terribly constructed, the consultants ordered the dress way too big and despite over $1,000 of alterations - it fit terribly on my wedding day. I question the methods of the alterations team as the dress was altered totally wrong and it lost the a-line shape of the skirt and ended up TOO TIGHTand the owner who told me I should have been more vocal during my SIX FITTINGS (despite sending multiple emails, begging for changes, and leaving the salon CRYING), it still wasn't enough. Now she says I'm just complaining to get money. The best thing for me would be for no other bride to go through the stress and gaslighting I suffered through this process. AVOID Lana Addison and the sister store Alexia's unless you are very thin, rich, and extremely vocal about your opinion. The nice, slightly bigger girls just get their wallets emptied and their concerns swept under the rug.

When I was married 37 years ago, my mother-in-law gave me a set of appliquéd sheets which were beautiful so I purchased 4 new white pillow cases ($50.00) and brought them to EBM to have them also appliquéd. I brought my original cases for EBM to see what I wanted. I expected the thread and the fabric used to be very close to the same color. When I picked them up, the thread was the light blue I picked out and the fabric used was a light gray. I was disappointed but took them home. I have only used the cases twice because I don't think they are pretty. They are also fraying after 2 washes. This past week, I purchased another 4 pillowcases ($50.00) and returned to EBM to have them monogrammed since they have done a good job on my other monogrammed pieces. While placing my monogram order I asked the owner about my past appliquéd cases because they were such an investment and I was unhappy with how they had turned out. She did not remember the order, so I told her that when I picked up this new monogram order, I would bring one of the appliquéd cases for her to see. I returned today and showed the owner my appliquéd case. The owner looked at my case and told me that she had not done the work. I showed her how the fabric was fraying after 2 washings and how the fabric and the thread did not match. She in effect told me that she was sorry but not sorry because her store did not do the work. I explained to her that I have not shopped at any other monogram store and I remember that I did indeed have the work done at her store. She denied this. I would not have taken the time in writing this complaint except for the fact that I read a similar complaint about this owner on Yelp about 2 weeks ago. This complaint I read showed that the owner does not believe in customer service and does not take responsibility when her shop does a poor job. This other customer stated that she finally got the owner to split the difference in cost with her. Why have a business when you don't take responsibility for your mistakes, say you are sorry and ask how you can make up for the mistake? I think it odd that when dropping off your order, this business has you pay up front, after all, they have your merchandise. For instance, these last 4 pillow cases cost me $50.00. Why would a customer pay $50.00 for cases and then not pick them up when they have been monogrammed? I payed $50.00 for the cases and then EBM charged me $60.00 to monogram. I see now, this is done because if you are not satisfied, they already have your money. If you are not happy, too bad because they are not customer friendly. Buyer Beware, as I learned with my appliqué order. Whatever work they turn out, they will be payed and it does not matter whether or not you the customer are satisfied. The owner just denied that she had done the work. Had I known she would treat me as a customer this way, I would not have made a 46 mile trip from Chapel Hill. There are other monogram shops in the area and I bet that there are others who treat there customers as they should. If your order goes as it should with this business I am sure you will be satisfied but if a mistake is made, too bad for you the customer and oh well, EBM has your money.
