I was in a very unfortunate situation. But Mrs. Kim (the owner) at Creative Fashions helped me out in a big way.
In my hands I held a giant size 8 bridesmaid dress that the boutique had ordered for me. I normally wear a zero or 2 in regular clothes, but the boutique swore that my dimensions were a size 10: "These specialty dresses run really small." (I made them order an 8 because there was NO WAY I was a 10!) Anyway, I digress. That rant is for another post for another business.
I pitifully explained my situation to Mrs. Kim, and she listened very carefully and assured me that all would be well. In one week, Mrs. Kim was able to alter my size 8 dress down to fit me perfectly. She had to trim off 5.5 inches from the side, deal with a built-in corset in the dress, and also hem 3 layers off the bottom. Her price was also very fair as I had consulted another alteration shop in Buckhead and they quoted me $20 more than she did!
So if you need serious alterations for a wedding, or a simple hem for your pants, I'd recommend Creative Fashions. The shop is discreetly located in the same plaza as J. Christopher's off Chamblee Dunwoody Rd. You will not be disappointed! Thank you, Mrs. Kim!! read more
