I'm a fan of ordering up a size and tailoring to fit when custom sizing is not an option. And IMO,…read morealterations make quite a difference when done right. D & D gets it right every single time! Quick turnaround too. I have been using Missy and Hahn's services for years. Costume alterations, formal dress alterations, adding appliqués or beading, sewing and everything in between. Some work was planned well in advance, other items were brought in on tight --- can you fix this in 36-48 hour type timelines. In each instance, I've been accommodated and EXTREMELY pleased with the final product. Sewn items don't look like they were "made" and that certainly is worth its weight in platinum. Most recently, I used their services for alterations for my dress, alterations and embellishments to a jumpsuit and to hem my Dad's tuxedo. Having Hahn take on these key items allowed me to focus on all the other things because I know it would be just as I wanted - the first time and ready when she said it would be. I picked the items up and didn't even try them on right away because I trust D & D just that much! It's Grade A+ every time! Appointments can be scheduled online or by phone, walk ins are accepted as well. Pricing is what you'd expect given their reputation and clientele and some times the alterations cost more than the dress/pants, but in my book--- it's worth every cent.

The one downside is that the line in the fabric room can get long and it's first come first served, so when I just needed a roll of ribbon I had to stand behind 15 people who needed fabric cut. That was tedious. They don't have as many different throws as some of the other places, but this is a good place to come to fill in the gaps.

Although, you can stop in 12-8 on most days, you are going to really see what these folks have to offer on their website. This is a group made up of talented individuals who make everything from jewelry to costume pieces to leather iPad cases. Their specialty is "steam punk" style things, but they are all so talented you can contact any of the artists to make custom pieces. I was impressed by the detail in a lot of the work that these folks make and everyone is super nice and friendly. Whatever you have in mind, one of the artists at ASI is sure to be able to bring it to life, so check out their website and don't hesitate to email them or stop into their store front in order to make your artistic vision come to life.

I was confused because that's not my problem...Party City accepted my order and promised to deliver it. About an hour later, I received 2 tangled bouquets and was told that the rest were on the way. Welp...I never received them and could not decorate the party as intended. I called Party City customer service to inquire and they could not get in touch with the local store.
