I declined to pay up front, and it wasn't an issue, just a little awkward. Take some advice from me: anyone who asks for all your money before they've lifted a finger is asking you to trust more than they've earned. A good worker proves their worth as they go, not before they begin. Once money leaves your hand, it doesn't always find its way back.

He always tells you how much everything costs up front. I highly recommend going here for any alterations you may need.

I had a body that is a bit big for Medium Chef Coat and too small for a Large Chef Coat, which I just found out, je je je, going to the gym will definitely fix this issue, but I cannot wait six months, I needed the chef coats to be tailored to my current body type, I had a meeting in 12 hours, and Misha took care of my needs, by fixing one in an hour and the other four by the next day. The quality of the job was very good and the way he handled the situation was very professional The price was very good for the quality of the job done. I am really happy with the experience

What should've been a simple hem + strap tighten turned into a $300 mess for our daughter's dress…read more My husband brought our 11-year-old in to have her dress shortened and the loose straps tightened. He was told that taking the dress in would address both. When we picked it up, the straps were even looser - easily falling off the shoulder - and the fit was asymmetrical. We called and were told to bring her back to correct it, which we did. At pickup, we were hit with an unexpected $85 extra charge and told we "never requested" the straps be adjusted. Over $300 later, the dress still doesn't fit properly. We left feeling taken advantage of, misled, and pressured. Dads/parents: if you're not a tailoring expert, be extra cautious here. We won't be using Larissa's ever again.

There aren't enough words to describe the Fairy Godmother wedding dress magic-maker that is Kendra…read more However... I'll try. I am (admittedly!) a high maintenance bride, and I had a ton of little changes I wanted to make on my difficult-to-alter wedding gown. Add a slit, fix the pleats, add removable straps (for which I had a VERY specific vision), make sure the interior tulle of the dress pulled to the edges so I could properly move and dance, make sure the strapless dress wasn't moving on me one inch, while also making sure I could still breathe and eat... Kendra had the solution for ALL of it. Including so many solve ideas that I would've never thought of. She's clearly an expert in the field of alterations, and she literally said "oh yes absolutely" to every question I had that started with "is there any way to..." FAIRY GODMOTHER. On top of all of that, Kendra has the disposition to calm any high strung bride (or mother) during a potentially stressful part of the process. Her welcoming, kind and "of course we can!" attitude made me so at ease (peaceful, even?), during this process and I cannot state the importance of this enough. Not only that, she made sure the finished product of each adjustment was also up to HER standards, which are high. She was so good that I even had her work on two other wedding looks for me, had her dye my veil to match my dress, and she even helped me adjust my SHOES to my ideal dream look! I mean, what can't she do?! Kendra J - and her sister, who I also worked with in the beginning - are a high-maintenance, type A, dancer & perfectionist bride's dream come true. Cannot recommend them enough with such an important part of such an important time in someone's life.

It was held together with a safety pin in order to through the ceremony. I refrained from hugging family and friends all night. As you can see, the broken strap is very noticeable. As the night went on. The back seem near the zipper was separating. And then one of the five point bustle broke. My dress was literally falling apart. We called the seamstress Monday morning. She was only willing to pay for the broken straps. My alterations were $669. Straps, seems and bustles shouldn't fall apart. My heart is broken. The dress was so beautiful and all I can see are the broken areas in all my pictures. Please please please be careful who you choose.

As a plus size bride, I did not want to make an already vulnerable experience harder with a difficult experience before my wedding. And the hard part: I wanted them to be local. I feel incredibly blessed that I found Courtney, and that she took me in. She was INCREDIBLE. So sweet, incredibly talented and knowledgeable... not to mention very sensitive. She talked to me, asked me questions about my big day, and made me feel right at home... and EXCITED. I can't thank her enough. Plus, her little studio here in Chico is the best. A great interpersonal experience where you feel like the most important thing. She took my dress in a whole size, altered my sleeves, and added a bustle to my dress (with custom instructions for my friend). I recommend Courtney to anyone and everyone.
