If you're looking for a low stress, tailor who can meet a deadline, find someone else. I started…read morewith a bridesmaid dress in March and it was finally done 6 days before the wedding I needed it for in September. That feels like far more time than needed. I had my dress taken in, hemmed and without discussion she put in these clasps to hold up bra straps. At the time I thought the idea was nice, but the reality of wearing the dress for 9+ hours, the fabric used rubbed my shoulders so bad I have scrapes where it rested. The original price quoted was $50, we talked about hemming in my first appointment, get to the end to pay and she charged me another $20 because it needed to be hemmed more. I feel like that's on you, for not hemming it right in the first place, and we didn't discuss an additional charge.
The first appointment she wasn't writing anything down, I asked her too, she said she would remember. Well each appointment after that either nothing was done or all the changes weren't done and I had to keep coming back. And with each appointment, it was rescheduled due to changes not being done on her end. One appointment she texted the bride to say we needed to reschedule, not me, even though we had a group chat and she had my number. So I showed up for my appointment, and she made it my fault asking why I was even there. Well when you don't communicate, people tend to show up for appointments they have. The work was a 7/10, not bad, but it certainly wasn't amazing out of this world. And for all the time and rescheduling I would have expected a near perfect product, without scratchy fabric.
For the bride I was with, she wanted a heart sewn into her dress from her mom's dress on the slit of her dress, this was discussed at 2 appointments. Again nothing was written down she insisted she would remember. We came to her last appointment, 6 days before the wedding. And the heart was sewn into the bust. While I understand the idea and it's nice, it's not what the bride, who's paying for this service wanted. When she asked her to put in another heart she came into the room (bride was upset and stressed) she grabbed the dress, turned around, slammed the dressing room door and yelled Jesus Christ and went back into her sewing room. She later apologized but I'm confused how you're upset at us, the customer, for your mistake.
Over all it could have been a great experience, and it just wasn't. Then getting an up charged not discussed, and attitude at the end I could never recommend or go back.
