    I brought a satin dress I was going to wear to my sister in laws wedding to have the bust altered…read more What was supposed to be a simple stitch being done turned into an absolute nightmare. I brought the dress new, unworn with tags only to have it given back to me with stains they said were from the steamer. First of all, when working with delicate materials distilled water must be used if you are steaming and extra care and attention to ensure it dries without leaving stains. It's appalling that they think this is proper care for satin, let alone think it's proper to give formal wear back like this. The owner who was very dismissive and rude on the phone when I called to follow up said well had it dry cleaned for you and you won't pay for anything. 4 days later, my second attempt to pick up the dress and there was still stains. The man working (who I believe is the owner) said that when you touch this kind of material you see the marks. He was very confrontational and tried to tell me that I touched the dress and stained it which was not the case my hands were clean and dry and he was watching me check the dress. He tried to gaslight me into telling me water stains were normal but he would get the dress dry cleaned a second time and that it costed him $65 dollars the first time. I asked what happens if this happens again because clearly one time dry cleaning wasn't enough and the dress may be permanently ruined. He told me not to worry. He then tried to get me to pay for the alteration when I told him I shouldn't for this hassle. He then proceeded to threaten to undo the stitching they did on the dress. In that instance I asked for a discount. I went to finally pick up the dress 6 days later and I arrived over an hour before close and the lady working there was locking up. I asked if she was closed and she asked what I needed. I told her pick up and she let me into pick up the dress. So just a warning if you are going later in the day they do not honor their store hours. She made a point to complain about how "difficult" the material is to work with after two dry cleanings the stains were gone. If you can't work with satin, maybe you shouldn't accept the alteration or educate yourself on how to handle delicate fabrics. I wish I could give a -1 star review but unfortunately Google doesn't allow that. If you want someone you can trust with formal attire this is unfortunately not the place despite their high ratings.

    I came in for a wedding dress fitting in June 2024. The tailor, without my permission,…read moreunnecessarily reached into my wedding dress bra cup and stroked his finger on my nipple about 3 times. Later in the appointment, he was obsessed with determining which of my breasts was slightly larger than the other, which was also completely unncessary. Along with very uncomfortable comments throughout the visit. I am left traumatized still, over a year later.
