Bozena went above and beyond to make sure I was happy, and her work was phenomenal. My wedding dress in the back is a corset, and to fasten it, was a workout. Bozena did not mind and took her time to make sure my dress was completely fastened. Her primary concern was that I was satisfied, and that meant a lot to me.

The last few times I have had work done here it was never ready when scheduled. Last year I waited six weeks for alterations to a vintage shirt. The owner "lost it" and didn't tell me for several weeks. Eventually she found it and did the work. Six weeks ago I dropped off a shirt for alterations. Three times I went to pick it up and each time she said it would be "ready next week." I called today and it was not done. When I tried to ask when it would be done the owner became upset and told me I was "making her feel bad." I picked up the shirt and will have the work done elsewhere. I don't think the staff are able to handle the volume of work they have and are unable to be frank with customers about when to expect it will be complete. I will no longer use their services as I am not confident the work will be completed on time. This is nerve-wracking if the items are needed for a particular event. Unfortunate as their work is excellent when it's done - but of no value when a customer can't depend on it to be ready when scheduled. They want to provide good service but should not commit to work they cannot handle.

Working with Dorli on my wedding dress was stressful and ultimately needed to be fixed by a…read moredifferent seamstress. I brought my wedding dress in to Dorli in May 2021 to be hemmed, taken in at the bust, and bustled. I have larger hips so needed to size up with the dress, but my bust is very small in comparison. In the consultation, the seamstress said she would be able to take care of all of these things. The first fitting was disorganized. She essentially forgot about our appointment and, even after two months, the dress was not ready for me. Luckily I still had another month until the wedding. The second fitting was okay. The dress had been hemmed well and she had a creative idea for the bustle. I let her know that the bust was still way too big and I wanted to be closer to my natural size. She had cut out cups in the first fitting and now added them back in (and charged me for it). Everything fell apart at the third fitting. The dress had been taken in so much at the shoulders and at the waist that I could not move my arms. No alternations had been made to the bust. I expressed that it was still too big on top but was told there was nothing else she could do, except potentially add another set of cups. The bustle looked nice, but wasn't actually functional: when bustled, the long lace train was too heavy for one hook and pulled the dress away from my back. I came home and cried. I was out $425 and the beautiful $1,000 dress I fell in love with looked horrible. With only two weeks to the wedding, I was officially panicking. Luckily, my matron of honor found a retired seamstress who worked out of her home and was able to help on short notice. Within minutes, she undid the shoulders (thank god the lace wasn't cut!) and took out the cups that were sewn into the bodice to make the bust smaller. It was a significant improvement. It might also be worthwhile to add that one of my bridesmaids also used Dorli to have her dress hemmed and shoulder straps shortened -- and one of the shoulder straps broke during the wedding, leaving her with one strap too long all night. The one star that Dorli gets is that they covered half of the seamstress's fee to repair the dress. I actually hadn't planned to write a review at all, since I was also told that the seamstress would be retiring... which, judging by Diane's review, she did not. I feel terrible that I did not write this review earlier to save Diane the heartache. I also still feel sad when I think about how much better my dress could have fit if I had gone somewhere else. TLDR: While Dorli may be a safe bet for basic hemming; DO NOT go there for more complex work.

I got my wedding dress on clearance from David's Bridal since an expensive dress was not important…read moreto me. The dress fit pretty well except for being about an inch too long, and a bit too tight. My mom kept bugging me to get it altered but I didn't feel like spending the extra money on a dress I'd wear once, I figured I'd get by fine for the 12 or so hours I'd be in it. I never tried my dress on in the months after buying it until about 6 weeks before the wedding and my mom made me try it on for her. I'm glad she did because it turned out the clasp on the back was broken and it was so tight (probably from wedding-planning stress-eating) that she couldn't get the zipper up. I went on the David's Bridal website to make an appointment for alterations and there was NOTHING available at any of the nearby locations...except one time slot on July 4th. As I was sitting there panicking about what to do I thought, why don't I look up a local tailor? Dorli had such amazing reviews and as a bonus was so much closer to my house than David's Bridal. I called her up first thing in the morning and she answered the phone immediately and I asked if they had any appointments available within the next week or so, she said I could come in that day! She was very nice and very professional, and my dress came back great and within a few weeks, I couldn't even tell it had been altered. And I didn't trip over my dress or think about the length at all my whole wedding day except when I took my heels off and then it was too long - I do think the length would have been very annoying and distracting on our big day if I hadn't gotten it hemmed. She even steamed it for me. I'm not sure what the pricing would be if I had ended up going to DB but I bet it would've been way more than what Dorli charged me. I found her prices to be very fair, even though I hadn't planned to spend any money on alterations at all. The biggest expense was getting the hemming done but only because my dress had like 6 layers. I will recommend her to anyone and will also definitely use this tailor again if I ever need anything else hemmed in the future. Support local business and go to Dorli first! You won't regret it.
