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

I was referred to her by Altar Bridal, where I purchased my wedding dress, so I felt confident that I was being referred to someone experienced and trustworthy with bridal gowns. Unfortunately, that confidence was completely misplaced. My dress originally fit almost perfectly. It was maybe a half size too big and only needed minor alteration. It is a satin dress, so I was especially careful about who I trusted to work on it. After the alterations, my dress is now visibly damaged. There are sewing marks all over the satin where stitching was done and then removed, leaving obvious needle and thread marks throughout the fabric. The dress is now crooked, and the rouching has been completely distorted and does not lay correctly anymore. These are not small imperfections that can be overlooked on my wedding day. The dress looks cheap and destroyed not delicate and elegant like when I got it. My wedding is only a month away. I brought her a dress that already fit almost perfectly, and I am now left with a damaged wedding dress and no idea how I am going to get it repaired in time for my wedding. I understand that alterations can be complicated and that mistakes can happen. However, when someone is trusted with a wedding dress, especially a delicate satin gown, I expect a much higher level of care and expertise. I also trusted this recommendation because it came directly from the bridal shop where I purchased my dress. I gave her multiple opportunities to fix the dress, but at what should have been my last appointment I didn't trust her to touch my dress anymore. If you are considering using this seamstress for your wedding dress, I strongly recommend doing your research and considering other options. I would never want another bride to be in the position I am in now. My wedding is 32 days away and I absolutely hate my dress now.

    --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.

    I had a great experience with The Wedding Seamstress…read more I went to them because my friend had a great experience with them and because I did not want to haul myself to Denver for dress fittings, your girl likes to keep it in the burbs. They were affordable and flexible. When I first came to them, I planned to remove the train from my dress, but changed my mind and they were so cool about it and encouraged me to keep it even though they would have made more money if I had removed it. I'll also say, they got my alterations done quickly, after I dropped my dress with them, I only had to come in for 2 fittings after and on the third, I brought my dress home. I also ended up finding my end of the night outfit here, a pretty and comfy jumpsuit that honestly saved my life at my wedding. (My dress was fully beaded and she was HEAVY)

    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.
