My best friend of 20+ years used Violetas for her bridesmaid dress alteration. To give context, my friend wears a size XS and when she was younger she had an eating disorder. She no longer does, but still struggles, as we all do, with her self image- even as a petite woman.
The seamstress, Anna, thought it was appropriate to negatively comment on my friends weight, both at the initial measurements and the pickup.

I am disgusted , appalled and yes angry on behalf of my friend. How dare this woman. How dare she think she has the right to tear anyone, let alone a customer down. How dare she bodyshame ANYONE.

She even had to add more the day of wedding while riding in the limo, all because Violeta's didn't take the proper time or care with my dress. They added extra stress to myself and my mother by having my dress until 6 days before assuring me the entire time everything was fine....
Read moreI took my two new pea coats, one Michael Kors and the other Colehaan, I am a slimmer guy and wondered if they could even make them a tighter fit for me….. They did a amazing job! They fit perfect now! Fast and friendly, only thing that sucks is you have to wear a mask and I just thought we were past that. Totally worth it though, thanks ladies
SIDE NOTE: I noticed a few 1 star reviews that the lady was making remarks about a persons weight.???? Well the older lady is like a Italian grandma, and they will for sure not hesitate to tell you if you are to thin, they love to cook and just don’t think anybody should be that thin lol For someone to get offended by that is just silly and they need to recognize the culture that the store is, this isn’t high school, grow up and take your daughter to...
