I brought a dress in to be altered as it fell off my shoulders. Mary carefully measured each…read moreshoulder and the dress was returned in perfect condition. The next dress has spaghetti straps that were too low for me so she pinned them in place but the dress didn't fit properly when it was altered. The black lace and velvet skirt I brought have an elastic waist that was too loose and you could see through the skirt so I wanted it lined. She pinned the skirt and I could barely get it over my head so I reminded her that there wasn't a button or a zipper in the skirt. It just needed new elastic. By that time, it was busy in the shop and I could tell she wasn't paying attention to me. The finished product was sewn where she pinned it instead of replacing the elastic and it was lined to mid thigh. Since I'm an old lady instead of a teenager, the mid thigh length was not appropriate. I brought in two pair of pajamas, from Victoria's Secret where is she only measured one sleeve and one pant leg. The altered pajamas had one sleeve longer than the other, and the same with the pant legs. She should've measured both legs and both sleeves. I also brought in a pair of pants from Lands' End, which I didn't even bother to try on afterwards as by that time, I was too disgusted by her alterations. Since nobody is going to see the pajamas, I didn't even bother returning them for alteration repairs. But I did take in the black skirt as I couldn't get it over my head. The skirt was a size medium, and the lining she put in was a size petite. I could've worn a size small, but it would've been tight. The skirt was a full skirt, but the lining they put in was a straight slip. The bill was $198.00. I returned only the skirt to be re-altered. Even though the mistakes were totally theirs, she charged me $20 to correct her own mistakes. I told her about the two pair of pajamas with the two different sizes on the legs and arms and the dress with the too high spaghetti straps. I will never go back there and I'm posting this to share my experiences so no one else has to go through this alteration nightmare.
