Hang'n By a Thread — Local services in Sullivan

Took my wedding dress here for alterations. A nice lady but apparently does not know at all how to do alterations properly and her place needs a good cleaning to keep your attire looking clean. I tried it on upon arrival where she did pin it up for alterations to the shoulders, the hem and I asked for her to do something pretty to be able to bustle up the court length train for reception. 5 weeks later I called to make sure everything was going okay because I had not heard from her. She said she was just finishing up the Bustle hook. When I arrived for pickup she said no need to try it on which I didn’t want to try it on in her shop anyway, was afraid of getting it dirty from the floors in there. As soon as I got home, I took it out of the garment bag to find it covered in dust bunnies, glitter (my dress has no glitter) and other pieces of colored threads as well as a few small dirt spots, so I got to work on removing the spots and a lot of lint rolling to clean it up so I could try it on. Immediately noticed the terrible sewing job on the shoulder straps. (See pics below) Then I saw all the ugly silver hooks sewn on back of my plain white dress that she put in for the bustle. I was in tears at that point but it got worse when I tried it on, it was still too long by approx 3 inches, the hem was so obviously uneven that there was no way I’d be able to wear this dress as is. It was so botched that I wouldn’t even dare have her try to fix it. I called my sister crying asking if she knew of a good reputable place to take it to get it fixed 2 weeks before our wedding. She said Sadie’s in Clayton does beautiful work. I called them and they got me in immediately, they were so helpful and came up with a plan to fix it. They exceeded my expectations and were extremely professional, clean, kind and supportive. They had my dress done in less than a week and it looked perfect. Pics below to show what a sewn shoulder seam should and shouldn’t look like. And silver hooks like below should never be seen like this. All it needed for a bustle was a small Pearl button and three white threaded hoops that can hardly be seen when...

My wedding dress was done here, the work itself was fast, so I was greatful for that, the bustle didn’t end up working, so my train is absolutely destroyed, it was still too big on me, and when it was finished, I was told not to try it on there (which was odd to me, especially being a week before my wedding) & it wasn’t hemmed where I had asked. All around, it still worked but I definitely would have had it done completely different! It just didn’t fit me like...

This place is mostly long arm service, alteration services with some notions, and variety of fabrics for quilting, clothing and handwork.

The building is located on a farm setting (no animals)...
