She completed the work quickly but the one item was unwearable after she altered it. I had to take it to another seamstress and pay to have it fixed. Luckily it could be fixed, but I had to pay again for the same item. I paid much less to fix it than Shelley charged to ruin it, so I guess her prices could be better too. read more
I'd give negative stars if I could. Shelly ruined my sisters wedding gown so badly that my sister had to purchase a brand new gown 3 days before her wedding. Not only did she ruin her gown, Shelly also lost my sisters wedding veil. Do not bring anything here! Shelly is disorganized. She is unhelpful and doesn't know how to communicate with brides to be. In the many fitting appointments with my sister she never once had her sit down to see how the dress feels. The dress was taken in too much in the waist which made the strapless neckline bow out/not lay flat and caused the boning to buckle. Shellys solution was to sew on a halter strap to hold the dress up. Not at all what my sister had her heart set on nor imagined. Shelly refused to take responsibility but instead blamed my sisters body shape and the store that sold her the gown saying they never should have told my sister the dress could be altered to fit her well and securely. If Shelly thought it couldn't be done then she never should have agreed to do the work!! Unprofessional! It was an awful experience that lead to many frustrations, stresses and tears. Shelly reimbursed my sister for the cost of the veil (even though she denied losing it) and the cost of alterations. But what is my sister supposed to do about the cost of the ruined dress?! read more
