    Fit me in the week before Halloween to alter a costume. Looked better than I thought it would after adjustments!

    --This is my last coment !!!…read more He made fun about my grammar: This response shows the lack of culture this guy has. As he knows English is my second language, therefore, my grammar may not be perfect. This may reflect racism within this organization. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -Jessy responded to my review with lies. Just think twice before you hire his services. The business owner left the items outside of a building after collecting the EXTRA money. GREAT PRACTICES !!! Good Job Jessy I recommend that anyone utilizing his services refrain from advance payment, as he consistently employs policy justifications to increase charges. 1. If he was at my residence for an extended duration removing the curtains, why was there no comment at that time? He charged me the full amount at that time. Also, he charged me extra to take them down and put them back. He did not put them back. 2. Should he have found any urine or like material on the curtains, why did he not reach out to me? he worked for over 5 weeks with the items. 3. He is lying, he did not deliver on time. He was late 3 or 4 days. 4. My behavior was not hostile. I inquired regarding several matters: the additional fee for reinstallation (despite prior payment), the urine issue (never mentioned until the day before), and the debris charge (given my offer to handle it). 5. He blocked me from Facebook and Insta so I couldn't add a review. No wonder why he only has good reviews on his website. I told him "I will pay the extra, BUT this is not fair". I said: "I will add this type of practice to your review, so people won't go blindsided to your services". I paid the extra charges, and as soon as I paid, He send me an angry text saying " I will leave the items at the door of your building". He had no idea if i was there or not. He did not care just to leave plastic bags outside the building. One more time: he waited till I paid his extras, and then he left the items outside the building. He scammed me! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -Moises---- WARNING - WARNING - WARNING I recently hired "Trim and Proper" to do curtains for my apartment. The total I was quoted to pay was around $750 to $800 so, as you can see this was not a cheap job that i was having done. I dealt with Jesse specifically. To say the least, this was a traumatizing experience. After asking questions about additional charges that were dropped on me, he proceeded to attack me regarding the fee's; he accused me of being difficult to work with, lashing out at me over text messages and adding fake fee's to my bill, including pet feces clean up. I am unsure where she got this notion. The job was supposed to be measurements, creation and hanging the new curtains. Once I started to question these phantom charges, he sent me a message basically saying I did not read the terms. Yes, there were terms, but he was lying about the fee's she was adding to my invoice. I begged him to honor our original quote, but she was not giving in. I told himthat I would write him a bad review and his response was that since i was going to leave a bad review, he did not have to commit to our agreement. Guess what? My curtains were left in front of my apartment building, on the curb in TRASH BAGS. And just so everyone knows, I paid the invoice in full despite the traumatizing experience he placed upon me. I am now left with trash bags and wrinkled curtains that I was trying to have hung for my family thanksgiving meal. See pictures attached. I also have text messages. Way to go "Trim and Proper". I really hope that she comes to her senses and realizes this is horrible ethics before it's too late for his business.

    The Wedding Seamstress - This dress was 3 sizes too big. Also had some holes that needed mending and zipper issues. Look at how fabulous it looked!

    I can't say enough good things about the professional and talented seamstress who altered my…read morewedding dress. Recommended by Dani West, their service was top-notch from start to finish. My dress was heavily beaded and required significant work, including being taken in, hemmed, and a bustle for my first dance. The team handled it all with incredible skill and professionalism. The process was seamless and efficient. During my first visit, I tried on the dress, received a clear pricing estimate, and paid in full to drop it off. They immediately started working on the bustle so they could handle the hemming and final bustling in the next appointment. They even used a body scanner to get my exact measurements, which speaks to their precision and modern approach. I only needed three visits total, with the final one being just for pickup. This efficiency was a huge relief during the busy wedding planning process. Their professionalism and willingness to answer all my questions made me feel confident and at ease. If you're looking for a reliable and expert seamstress for your wedding dress, I highly recommend them.

    I had a very good experience with Wedding Seamstress! I had a floor length ballgown with a large…read moretrain that they managed to bustle it so it looked lovely! They also added a large bow in the back which looked great. I went for 3 fittings over the course of a 6 months, so they could make sure the dress looked good as we got closer to wedding day. I thought they did a fabulous job with the alterations but communication between appointments was a little spotty. Twice, I was given instructions to communicate via text (I assume with the owner) but no one replied and I had to follow up days later. Not the worst, but definitely frustrating when you have a wedding to-do list a million miles long. Back to the positives - they gave very great instructions on how to bustle. On final fitting day, I brought a bridesmaid and a seamstress walked her through how to bustle. The bustle was complicated since I had a large dress, so the demonstration was wonderful. They also provided written in instructions in case we forgot. Day of the wedding- my dress was bustled without a hitch! I am so thankful for their professionalism in that regard. I would choose the Wedding Seamstress again for professional alterations.
