I will continue to go to her for any dress alterations, etc. that I need done, she listens and knows what she is doing for sure! You won't be disappointed with Judee at paradise fabrics & costumes.

I've gone to Judee for a few alterations now...the most recent was my bridal gown. Judee did…read morephenomenal work on my gown and I could not have been happier - she's a true artist with a sewing needle!!! The bridal shop or designer had sized it incorrectly or the gown was marked wrong and it needed to be let out a little. The trick was the extensive hand beading and intricate detail work throughout the entire bodice. It also had a chapel train made of tulle and I wasn't thrilled with doing a bustle. Judee suggested cutting the train off and making the entire gown one length and that's what we did. I got so many compliments on my gown - how well it fit, how beautiful it is and also everyone actually loved that I didn't have a train - bustling it would not have enhanced the gown in any way and actually would have have detracted from it. I wish I could show how much work Judee needed to do to remove the train and make the gown all one length as well as hemming it to the proper length. This gown must have had a dozen layers! I've included a close up of the gown and then a full length of it on me (p.s. the hem doesn't look even in the photo but that was either the way I was standing or it came up - it was even). I've also been to Judee to have a bridesmaid gown altered as well as many cocktail dresses. She does fabulous work on everything and is so great to work with! Judee is so friendly, easy going and accomodating! I'm not tall, have a short waist and fairly large bust/shoulders so I pretty much have needed alterations my entire life. Judee is by far one of the best I've been to and she is also very reasonably priced for the magic she does. I'm sure if I had had the alterations done at the bridal shop, it would have cost a LOT more!

She was able to entertain a rambunctious group of 3 and 4 year olds and kept them all engaged. The kids loved the face painting and activity and it kept them all busy while the parents had a chance to eat (always a plus!). We opted for the 90-minute package and are glad we did. I would definitely look into the larger packages in the future. Elsa was worth it! Sara was great as well. She is extremely responsive and knowledgeable, providing wonderful tips for kids parties. Leading up to the party she provided several recommendations and helped make our party planning easier. We will definitely plan to reach out again in the future and look forward to seeing Elsa (or another princess) again soon!

Party city? Sorry don't know her!…read more This place was awesome for a last minute birthday party. My son loves mario and wanted a mario themed birthday party. On the day of the party (of course its like me to wait last minute to get decorations) I walked into the store and to my immediate right there was the mario birthday party decorations. They also had a mario balloon display all ready made and ready to go (the party was in april and the balloon display is STILL fully inflated) I was able to get a birthday cake topper that matched the theme. My grand total was under $50! What a lifesaver! If you have more time to plan a party, defiantly take advantage of their balloon gift displays where you can pop a balloon and the gift comes out.

I asked for his name twice, and twice he refused. I asked who is his manager and then he got more aggressive and said to get out. I then wasted time, money, and gas driving to another location where the employee refunded me in full with no questions whatsoever.
