    I came to Lori with my cosplay costume. The issue was that the cape loops were falling apart and…read morethe buttons had either fallen off or were going to soon. I had already visited two tailors who had said that they would not be able to do the work required. I had a rather tight timeline, but Lori completed the cape loops and buttons in one week. The buttons and loops are durable. I was clear that I wanted them to last and that they were covered when all the parts are worn on the costume. The cape lasted the whole weekend with no issues.

    I came to ABL After with a cocktail dress to be hemmed (this was a rush because I was leaving on…read morevacation just over a week later on July 11, 2025) a sundress needing a new zipper and 3 pencil skirts that needed taken in at the waist. Her website was very pretty and professional but there seemed go be only one pic of her actual work that was a lady in a wedding type dress standing in front of a kitchen stove. The rest were generic alterations style pics. I chose her because I thought it would be nice to support a private business. A decision I regret because overall, while Lori does nice work, her prices are very steep and customer service is so deeply lacking. I came to her home which also served as her business and I found myself undressing to put on the dress and skirts for measurements in the kitchen where the entry door was. Fortunately I'm not overtly modest, but I was uncomfortable with no free standing folding screen to stand behind to change (She did not have a downstairs restroom either-I had to use hers before I left and it was her personal restroom upstairs and down the hall). There was a lot of awkward silence rather than customer interaction and I felt like I had to generate conversation to break it up or she would have said nothing while she measured. We agreed that I would pay her for the vacation dress, she could get it done by the day before I left and the rest could wait until after I came back. She then told me it would cost $150 for the hem. I was now out of time and had no choice but to go through with the work because she would not give me a price until she saw the dress and what hem it would need. I was also not told ahead of time it was cash only (Her website did not indicate this either) so I had to run to a bank to get her cash to pay her. I never heard anything and I called Mon July 7th before we left for vacation on the 11th and she stated "oh hi, its done, its been done" and I asked her why she didn't let me know and I could have picked it up much sooner in case of any adj needed. Her response was "Well, I couldn't find your number so I couldn't call." I gave it to her again. I came that evening after work, again undressing in the kitchen to try on the dress. Her hemming work was very nice and I did leave happy with my dress. I went on vacation in July, my dress looked great; all was well. Fast Forward to September. I realized I had forgotten about my skirts and wondered why she never called me about them. I called her to ask about it and she stated "I lost your number but I didn't do any of it because I forgot to tell you I need to take in the skirts at two side instead of just one" (Mind you she already gave me the prices and I had my copy of the receipt) I asked her how much more it would be. She was saying "OK Let me find my price list...hmmm I cant find it. Hold on...I just cant find it right now; let me call you back" She never did so I called her back two days later. She stated "Oh I'm sorry I lost your number (Although I just gave it to her for the 2nd time) that's why I never called you. I'm sorry but they are done for you now" I was shocked and asked "Why did you do that, you never even told me the updated price." She stated "I called you more than once; 3 times in fact" I responded "The last time you told me you lost my number for the 2nd time and I never had any missed call or voicemail from her and asked her to verify the number she called. She just continued to say "Well I did call you but I cant talk about this with you anymore right now because I have eggs boiling" (This was 4pm during business hours!) When I continued to look at my calendar and give a Saturday date/time, she restated "I just cant talk to you about this my eggs are boiling and my cords in the wall (whatever that meant), so are coming sat?" and I agreed I would and she ended the call abruptly. This to me was so unprofessional. I felt absolutely stuck and I had to pay her the new price of $130 because the work was already done and I was afraid she would recklessly rip out her work if I refused to pay or try to keep my clothes. I felt completely swindled into paying for completed work I did not approve and brushed off for asking about it. Finally when I picked up my skirts and dress that needed the zipper replaced and handed her the $130 in cash she says "Oh I need to tell you that I never replaced your zipper" I just looked at her thinking I just paid you for work including a new zipper in the dress. She said "Well it was working just fine so I took it out and checked it and found some threads binding it up and took them off and put the zipper back in" Once again no phone call about all this. So I just took my garments and left and I will never go back to her again. Customer service is EVERYTHING. Her utter lack of it and unethical behavior can cost her business because social media and word of mouth is also EVERYTHING.

    Xpert Alterations - My mother of groom Dress for my son's wedding May 16. Thank you Linda

    It can be difficult as a bride to find the "one and only" tailor right for you and the one dress…read moreyou have. I noted the questions tailors I reached out to would ask, their price quotes, and recommendations. Linda left a positive impression with her prompt responses and honest input. Because Linda works from her house rather than at a facility where additional charges are incurred, she was also more affordable. EXPERIENCE: While I had these thoughts going in, Linda continued to surprise me. It was apparent that Linda was experienced and knew what was important. She asked me to bring my wedding shoes and encouraged me to sit, walk around, and move with the dress to make sure that where the dress hit would work for the day of during our second fitting. She also made adjustments as we went, requiring additional work on her end to make things just right. CHANGES: Linda was extremely detailed in explaining the changes that would be required with the dress; I had bought the dress one size too large (I just listened to what the wedding shop said). In addition to the mandatory shortening of the dress, she had to trim pieces of the top so that it didn't hit my neck awkwardly. She also brought in the back of the dress. All of this required removal and readdition of the lace afterwards. Linda helped to add cups with the dress and also bustled it, which I was told later can be a challenge with the layers of tulle. Linda was someone I could consult my ideas with and will not say "yes" to everything a bride wants. I liked this about her, because I asked for more poof to my dress, and she advised against it, explaining how the material of tulle with other material used to add poof could take away from the flow and delicacy of the dress. She was open to doing it if I wanted to, but her reasoning made me drop the idea, and I am glad I did. CHANGES / BUSTLE: I didn't realize Linda would end up adding clear buttons for the bustle. It threw me off to see them on my dress, and I admittedly became the stereotypical over-worried bride. I am happy to say that the Xpert knew what she was doing- it wasn't visible in any of the wedding pictures and I almost forgot I had worried unnecessarily about it. For brides who do want to be informed throughout the process I would advise asking to make sure expectations are in alignment. To emphasize, there was nothing negative about my experience, but knowing how brides can get, I'm just adding this as something to consider :) The bustle was a little harder for my bridesmaids to do, likely due to the tulle material. Linda drew a diagram for my bridesmaids to follow and let me record her explaining how to do the bustle. She also advised that my bridesmaids practice the day before. Unfortunately, I wasn't insistent on this with my bridesmaids, who said it looked straightforward enough, so we ended up spending nearly an hour getting the bustle and were late to the reception (something for others to think about for their day of!) COST: Knowing the cost of tailoring my friends had gone through, the quoted price was much better than I was expecting, provided all of the changes. Linda was very transparent with the work she needed to complete, and the time that it would take given the changes. For brides with a budget, I would recommend going in with a set amount and idea, but knowing that if there are additional changes that you hadn't thought of, be flexible and understanding that something may need to give (perhaps not all of the recommended alterations can be done, for example). I felt it was reasonable and that Linda's expertise was certainly worth it. COMMUNICATION / SCHEDULING: When working with Linda, be sure to be clear of the dates and timelines. I erroneously thought we had a meeting a different day because she had suggested meeting in 3 weeks, and I may have accidentally marked a date, but didn't confirm this with her. Linda is very responsive through text, so there will not be a problem with going back and forth to plan logistics. It was also a plus that she was flexible and had later hours and weekends available. TIMELINE: Everyone's experience will be different; I ended up having 3 total trips. - June 19: First trip for estimate and review of needed changes - July 14: Second dress fitting; additional modifications to planned changes based on progress thus far - July 20: Dress completed - August 3: Dress picked up, bustling instructions shared Linda treats you like a sister by the end of the journey. She is truly talented, and an artist in her own right, expressed through the beauty of her completed dresses. The last thing you want is to worry about is your wedding dress not fitting right the day of, where thousands of dollars are already spent. With Linda, my dress looked beautiful the day of. I was comfortable and able to dance the night away with ease; my dress did not get caught once, even as I danced to Gangnam Style. I am extremely grateful for her services.

    I found this woman online and chose her because she had literally 100% five star reviews on Google…read morewith hundreds of reviews. I was not disappointed. I needed not only a mother of the bride dress hemmed, but I needed the bust adjusted too. The bus part was complicated work and she did an amazing job. Her prices are not inexpensive, but the work is quality and perfect. She adjusted everything one time fixed it perfectly and it was exactly as I wanted it when I arrived to pick it up. I highly recommend this woman for any Important tailoring needs that you might have. She works out of her home. It has a separate entrance for the business part. She was very personable and business like. I also appreciated the ring doorbell and security cameras all around since I was going to what look like a private home When I walked in to the business part of her home, it was all dresses and looked like I walked into a tailoring shop or laundromat type facility.
