I met Jessica on 6/10 needing two dresses hemmed up for a wedding in September…read more We had our fitting scheduled for 6/11 but it was rescheduled on her end for 6/20. We had the fitting at her home where she conducts her business. She was very friendly in person. On 9/9 I texted her asking if she had time to fit another dress in for a hem job to be completed by 9/29 as I was going on vacation and wanted to wear the new dress I bought, knowing it was only a few weeks- I asked if a last minute hem was possible, she said it was and we arranged for it to be dropped off 9/10. I picked up my initial two dresses 9/25 with no problem and confirmed the third would be ready 9/29. On 9/29 I messaged asking when I could come by to pick up the dress to which she replied she had not started it and could have it done by 9/30. I was unable to pick up 9/30 as my flight left the country then. So I told her I'd pick it up when I got back into town- disappointed I wouldn't have my dress but not the end of the world. I got back into town and texted 10/17 asking when I could get the dress. I didn't receive a reply, I messaged a week later 10/23 when I could get the dress, and if it wasn't ready I still wanted it (at this point it had been almost a month since it was initially due to be done). She replied that I could come 10/24 to get the dress, and asked "if she was able to hem it, did I want her to do so". After almost a month of having my dress she hadn't even touched it yet, despite her offering to have it done by 9/30 I told her if she hadn't started it don't worry about it- I'll come get it anyways, planning to take it elsewhere. She messaged me 10/24 telling me she did in-fact end up hemming it and I picked it up that day. While she did apologize over text for not having it done by the due date back on 9/29, she did not mention or apologize in person for it being a month late I understand the fall is considered "wedding" season but over-committing and not meeting pick-up dates despite assuring it would be fine, and not even doing the hem until the night before I told you I wanted to pick it up is super frustrating. Communication wasn't great either, often waiting awhile to hear back over texts despite it being her preferred method of communication. While my first experience was good and everything was done in time, the second experience did leave a bad feeling about going back for future alteration needs.

All they needed to do was sew alone that white line -that's all and then return it to me! But the female owner, put her hand up in the air while making a face, as if she was flicking away a fly to me??. She said, "no no -you do -no no!" WHAT the heck?!? She does not know me or who I know! If any of my employees treated anyone like that- they would have been fired!!!!!! It took me about 20 minutes to find the parking space to go downstairs underneath the building down the hallway near a knife shop to even find their hole in the wall. I took it to the the Martinez Cleaners near State Street and they were so sweet and said they would do it no problem. They love the idea that my grandson will have my giraffe T-shirt when he comes to visit as a night shirt To have this couple treat me that way and tell me to go away... Was very insulting! I have friends that do own businesses from Thailand, China and Japan and have only been treated me and others, sweet and kind and with respect as I give them. It was as though I was in the middle of a Seinfeld episode with a soup Nazi saying "no soup for you, go away, go away" - I stood there, totally in shock and I said paused and said in my heart- I will never go back and I will tell other people-stay away, they're not nice! !!" so I will take my money somewhere else where it's appreciated!. Stay Away!!!

She had it steamed and ready for me to pick up! It's perfect and I'm so grateful I found Chi's business!!! It was a great price for her getting my dress completed so quickly.

I contacted her a few weeks before my elopement after realizing my dress needed hemming. She called me back immediately and fit me into her schedule the next day. During both our phone and office consultations, it was clear she genuinely cares about her clients. She completed the alteration in just a few days, which was such a relief during the busy wedding prep. When I later asked if she could adjust the back length, she kindly accommodated me without hesitation. Even fitting me in on her day off to make sure everything was perfect. The final result absolutely blew me away. What I thought was impossible, Valentina made happen, and I was nearly in tears seeing my dream dress brought to life. Valentina's skill, flexibility, and genuine kindness are unmatched. I will be bringing all my future alteration needs to her. If you're looking for the best, look no further, you'll be so glad you chose Valentina!

At first, consultation of what I wanted done went smoothly, so smoothly in fact that I was sure that it was going to be exactly what I wanted. A few weeks later, I went to try on the alterations and the back bustle button wasn't as high as I wanted it to be, so I had them alter it again. I told them exactly where to put it and to keep it the same design only higher. I came back and picked up the dress and thought it had been fixed for my wedding day, which was weeks away. When I went to try on my wedding dress the morning of the ceremony, let's just say I had a panic attack. The bustle wasn't where it was supposed to be, in fact it was so wrong that it looks really bad! Yes, I shed tears that morning because of it, and my saving grace was a family member with a sewing kit who was able to sew together everything where I wanted it to be. I am leaving this review just so that if you're looking for alterations here, be mindful that you need to do this months and months ahead of time so that every detail is perfect. I'm not sure what happened, but it felt like my words weren't heard or lost in translation when I asked for help second alteration. I didn't ask for the money back I spent, only because my wedding day had come and gone and I am not someone who wants to fight or have confrontation. I just wanted to leave a review because I still think about what happened..... a year later.
