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!

My dress is stunning, and they ensured it was perfect for me on my special day. Even thinking about this is getting me emotional, of course! I worked with George a few times and Marie mostly, and absolutely loved them. Marie is something else and will guarantee you laughter. She is professional in her own way, while providing her kindness and expertise. She is outgoing, outspoken, loud and fun - just like me. Wink wink. She is real, and tells it how it should be told, something I appreciate so much in people. She is in this profession for a reason and knows exactly what she is doing. From the first fitting, everything was flawless. My dress was not simple - beads, plenty of lace, and more detail, and yet it was absolutely perfectly altered. The alterations were not cheap, but this was our wedding day, our special day, and working with Marie and George to perfect my beautiful dress, was the absolute best choice. This is a one time thing and I just had a feeling seeing Marie would be the best option, and so we went with it, and you should to! I highly recommend working with Marie and her team to ensure your wedding dress is as perfect as it could be, just like mine. Thank you so much for making my dress so beautiful, and just right for me!

Apparently I am the exception, because I had an indescribably terrible experience with my wedding…read moredress alterations. At first, everything was great. The dress looked good, and it looked good for my wedding ceremony despite the issues we had. During my alteration process, I found a hole in my dress, after I had already paid. Luckily, it was underneath and couldn't be seen. Marie said she was going to partially refund my payment, and fired the person who cut the lining out of my dress, assuming they were at fault. She even told me the girl had been reprimanded for chatting too much and that she had not been properly focusing on her work. I never saw a refund. My dress was also a wrinkled mess in my portrait. She claimed to have been pressing my dress for hours when I arrived to pick it up, but it looked horrible. I've posted a photo of the dress when she pressed it, and when Traditions by Anna pressed it because I was so displeased, and there is a huge difference. Then, at the wedding my bustle broke (one loop she sewed completely fell out, and one hook is hanging by a thread) after less than 30 minutes being bustled. I had a very heavy fabric, and the workmanship was just inferior. It shouldn't have fallen apart- I didn't sit down and was never stepped on. It was not busted long enough to have a chance for anyone to step on it! I spent all night with safety pins in my 5,000 dollar wedding dress, and missed so many special moments because I was being repinned constantly. The loop was a thin thread, no wonder it didn't hold the thick satin fabric. After the honeymoon I called her to express my displeasure. After being promised a phone call back multiple times, and not hearing from her, we finally spoke. She set up a time to call, 4:00, and called. At 4:08 she started telling me she had an appointment. She didn't event set aside a time to speak with me, and rushed me off the phone. While on the phone, she offered me the cost of 1 bustle point as a refund, 30 dollars, and refused to take any responsibly or show any remorse. She was extremely defensive and said once the dress leaves she is not responsible for it. Although she isn't responsible for mishaps, she is responsible to do the job, and do it right. She should have the decency to be invested in her customers happiness, and if she isn't, and isn't willing to stand by her work, she does NOT need to be near anyone's wedding gown. She was outright rude and sarcastic, and began lying about events leading up to this. She said she gave me a refund, and that she had discounted my alterations, however I paid well before she promised me a refund, so she did nothing after the hole incident and claimed that her already discounted price was my refund. Then, she blamed the hole on the manufacturer. I inspected the dress before my portrait the first week in April, and it was fine, then the hole was found on Easter. She claimed it was sent to us that way, but she fired a girl over it? That doesn't make sense. She also claimed my alterations should have been 750, and she charged me 400. She quoted 500, and discounted to 400. I NEVER heard 750, until today when we spoke. Everything about this process was an ordeal. I am very displeased with Marie. She doesn't stand beind her work, so I highly advise NOT using her services.

I've had luck with finding some staple items here for fair prices. $30-50 for a nice blouse or casual dress. The reason the rating is so low is because of the manager who oversees the store. She isn't there every time I have gone in, and the experience is better without her. She seemed very standoffish and was short with me at checkout. Very unapproachable. HELLO, this is retail. On another note, the lighting in the fitting rooms is excruciatingly bad. I feel like I have gained 10 lbs every time I look in the mirror. It is very unflattering and often causes me to put the items I tried on back.

Lee's Tailors on Western Boulevard is hands-down the best tailoring experience I've had in Raleigh…read more Ping (the owner) is incredible, and Karen and Anna are both wonderful as well. They're all patient, skilled, and genuinely kind. I go in fairly often for tailoring and repairs, and they are always welcoming and willing to listen carefully while I figure out exactly what I want done. Today really stood out. I brought back a pair of pants that had been hemmed and looked great, but just didn't feel comfortable when I wore them. I was worried I was asking too much since I'd already been in a few times about these pants, but Ping couldn't have been more understanding. She insisted on letting them back out while I was there, even though it was near closing time. She also noticed a jacket I had and tightened the buttons on that too--again, on the spot. She was so kind, accommodating, and generous with her time, and she wouldn't even let me pay. That level of care and customer service is rare. Ping truly stands behind her work and wants her customers to be comfortable and happy. If you're looking for expert tailoring with exceptional service, Lee's Tailors is the place. I won't go anywhere else.

I wasn't…read moresure what to expect after the bride recommended stopping here, and still wasn't sure as I pulled up to the small office building space. But once I walked inside I knew I'd come to the right place: racks upon racks filled with all sorts of saris and traditional gowns. The owner, Gita, was wonderful, she helped point me in the right direction and gave me advice on what to wear: style, color, how to fix my hair, jewelry to wear, etc. I was able to try on several different outfits, most ranging between $99-110 (that's the lowest quote she could give me on the gowns, there were more expensive options though, and the sari's start around $35). My only complaint is that the dresses are as they come, you can have sleeves added if there is extra fabric that comes with the dress (I was quoted $7 for both sleeves which includes a tucking in of the bodice as well). But if the dress does fit or doesn't fit, that's the risk you run. My gown, a beautiful long navy blue dress with silver stitching across the bodice, cost $99+tax. Overall, I enjoyed my experience at Roopkala and would return in the future for a traditional Indian dress.
