One thing to keep in mind is that this is a small, family-run business, not a big alteration shop. The women here, including the grandmother who is still working, put so much care into every garment. Sometimes turnaround times are a little longer, but I'd much rather wait a bit for careful, quality craftsmanship than have something rushed. They also carry beautiful Vietnamese traditional dresses, wedding attire, skincare products, and other specialty items.

I called months in advanced for a minor wedding dress alteration and made an appointment with Judy. So far so good. The first appointment rolls around, I show up and she's surprised to see me. No big deal, the fitting went fine and sometimes I forget things too. We do the fitting and set an appointment for the second fitting for about a month out. Still gravy. Second appointment rolls around. Again, she's surprised to see me. She searches around and pulls out my dress that she HASN'T STARTED. Then proceeded to make a lot of excuses about her sick grandkid and never apologised. Also starts complaining about another bride who has had 5 fittings. Tacky and unprofessional. I'm frantic at this point and try to call other alteration places, but they're booked and I'm SOL. I reminded her of what we agreed on and that the dress was supposed to be finished in a week. She refits me just as the first meeting and promises to be done in a week. Lumpy gravy at this point. Third appointment and she's finally not surprised and actually worked on my dress. She's talking herself up a storm about the great work she did. (took in the cups and hemmed the dress that was tulle-aka cut with scissors. I guess that's worth bragging about?) Dress fits, I'm annoyed but that's life and I want to leave with my dress. Now there fun part, she wants to charge more than double her first estimate because she said it was "harder and rush job". Jaw on the floor. I explained to her that it was her fault it was a rush job. She had a ton of heads up from when I made the appointment and over a month after our first fitting. And was proud of my non-confrontational self for sticking up for myself and did not do that. Burnt heavy covered in poo at this point. As for the quality, the cup alteration was fine. The hem has a hack job. Jagged and she claimed it was "so hard" to do. It's tulle so luckily that hides well and no one noticed. But lady, stop the BS and excuses. TLDR; Are you looking for someone who is unreliable, disorganized, poorly skilled (I'm assuming this since she talked herself up so much when it came to simply cutting tulle), unable to adhere to timelines, and makes all the excuses ever? Judy's your girl.

She seemed a little overwhelmed that I had a huge bag of items. 3 of the items she looked over and told me she couldn't get it done without a helper, and that was totally fine by me. The measurements for the other 5 items took about 30 minutes. She quoted $15 for 3 buttons, $50 and $70 for the other two pants that needed to be hemmed (a pair of viscose/polyester trousers and a faux leather pant). I felt that the two pants hemmed were out of my budget, and asked her if she could just do the 3 buttons and not the pants. I also offered to compensate her for her time, as I was there for a while for the measurements. She then told me she was too busy to do the buttons, or any of my clothes, and sent me out of the store refusing service. She was still relatively polite throughout this whole exchange. I think it is within her right to refuse service because it is out of her scope or she is too busy. But I think she ended up turning me away because she was offended? I'm not sure if there is an etiquette for me to reduce the scope of the work?

The owner here is a delight. Amazing service. Fast and friendly and fair priced. Go see them!read more

Do NOT come to this place for alternations. I came with a wrap dress that I needed hemmed for a…read morewedding that I was going to. I brought the shoes I would be wearing for it and the owner and I agreed upon a length about 1 inch off the floor so it wouldn't touch the ground. She was pretty curt on the phone but I didn't think much of it. I came 2 weeks later to pick the dress up and when I got home and tried it on, not only was it too long and dragging on the floor so I couldn't walk in it, but it was also visibly uneven. So much so that my roommate instantly noticed it when I tried it on. I called and the owner insisted that I come back to show her the problems, so I did so. What followed was one of the worst experiences of my life. The instant I got there and explained my issues with the hemming, she began yelling at me. Literally screaming for 20 minutes straight as she argued with me that I told her the wrong length and that the unevenness was a factory defect, not her fault. She also claimed that no one had ever complained before, which I seriously can't believe. I can't express enough that she was literally yelling at me. I paid $90 for this hemming job. Once she seemed to lose her patience, she started asking me if I didn't understand her English. My parents are first generation immigrants. I grew up with "broken" English. The fact that she would start accusing me of not understanding her English and yelling at me instead of acknowledging her mistake really shows that she doesn't care about her customers. She also tried to guilt me, saying that my dress had a ton of fabric and it was so difficult to hem. Again, I paid $90 for this, presumably because it was so much yardage. She offered to fix it for extra cost but why would I agree to that. Again, I paid $90 for just hemming, not to mention was yelled at. Overall a horrible experience and I would never come here again. Edit: The employee's son called me and asked if he could do anything to make this up to me. He was very nice and apologetic but again only offered a rehem for 50% of the original cost, which I was not comfortable with taking due to the quality of the initial hem. It's great that they are a family-run business but I would still not return.
