I took a dress here for alterations - I put the dress on so the owner could see what I was requesting be done, and when I told her what I was requesting, she responded by saying "I don't think so" and telling me that the dress looked fine. I was a bit taken aback, as I wasn't necessarily seeking an opinion on how she thought I looked, I was looking to have a minor alteration completed so I felt more comfortable/pretty in the dress. I did not feel that the part of the dress I wanted altered (the armholes) was flattering, and I am positive that a seamstress would be able to alter it. I told her that I don't feel good in it and I probably won't end up wearing it if I can't get it altered she replied "that's fine." When I asked her "so you are not able to do the alteration?" she repeated "I don't think so" and left the fitting room. I got dressed and left, and she did not even acknowledge me as I exited her business. It seemed as if she was refusing to do the work for me because she didn't agree with how I felt that I looked in the dress. She seemed very judgmental and did not treat me respectfully at all. I would not go back, and I would...

Just took my daughter's prom dress here to be hemmed. The dress was two layers and I was concerned about getting the layers evenly hemmed if I did it myself. It was perfectly done in a timely and courteous manner at a fair price. This is the second time I have had work done on a special event dress at this shop. The first time was for a bridesmaid dress for a wedding that needed to be hemmed and altered to fit right as it was not a dress that fit well on me. Both times the shop owner asked that we try the dress on to ensure satisfaction. My daughter's dress was perfect the first time. The bridesmaid dress required additional alterations to get the fit right, which I fully expected because of the work that was done. Again, the price was reasonable (much less than the bridal boutique where it was purchased wanted to charge), the service courteous, professional, and timely. It is a busy shop with many returning,...

This place should NOT be in business! My Mom took her wedding dress here, along with a bridesmaid dress for alterations. What a disaster! I wish I could post the pictures on here. I have never seen such shoddy work!:The top layer of my Mom's WEDDING dress was cut off as if a 5 year old did it and then to top it off NOT hemmed! The bridesmaid dress was hemmed and was so uneven its rediculous! I suppose we shouldn't have been surprised as she only used 2 pins in the front when we went for the fitting! When I went in for a refund I was treated rudely and they refused to give any refund. She did say she would like to try again...why in the world would anyone let her try again is beyond me! The Better Business Bureau has already filed an...
