    "Only by an Italians Hands"
    Ron S.

    If you need a button sewed on get your mom to do it , but Jesse can do that too. If you are really looking for "old world artistry" , you have found it. From repairing a torn expensive leather coat , to major alterations, you will not find anyone else with such a kind attitude , and keen eye for todays fashions, and all of the details. He spends what ever time needed to make things perfect , and his fees are beyond reasonable... You just won't find a better Tailor , period , at any price..... I have procured Jesse's services many time over the past 20 years. Each time , when I have left his quaint store , I felt like I traveled back in time . When folks like Jesse, always took pride in their "craftmanship", and friendly customer service was just, "second nature". We are lucky to have to have him as part of the Bellvue business community. I hope he does not retire anytime soon.. because I can't sew.. Sincerely Ron Sharp

I had bought a dress that was one size too large, and on a Saturday, I visited this tailor shop to ask them to take in the dress. An employee immediately and kindly greeted me. She told me to enter a dressing room and to put on the dress. After several minutes, she entered the dressing room, and she inserted pins where the dress should be taken in. Next, at the cash register, another employee rang up the cost of the tailoring. This employee seemed to be new, and the other employee politely helped her. I had the option of either paying for the tailoring then or later at pickup. I chose to pay for my dress right then, and the cost of tapering my dress from the underarm to the bottom was $32.75. The employees told me that my dress would be ready for pickup after 5 PM on Friday. On Friday, the store sent me a text message to remind me that my tailored dress was ready for pickup. I picked up my dress on a Saturday morning. An employee greeted me, and then she looked for my dress in the back and brought it out to me. I felt surprised that she did not ask me to try on the dress in the store, but I tried on the dress at home, and the dress fit me well.

Plus we decided to add straps utilizing some of the cut material and they were fully transparent on the price for it if decided we did not want to based on price. We had about 2 months before the event, but got it back within four days! I would definitely go back. The seamstress we worked with had the best questions, was caring, and attentive to details. It really put our family member at ease with their dream dress.

    Topaz Thimble - Uneven seams on sleeves

    I was waiting until I won the credit card dispute to submit my review and share my experience with…read moreTopaz Thimble. To any bride considering Topaz Thimble for alterations, I encourage you to read this full review before handing over your gown to Kati. There are many seamstresses who provide better quality work and customer service. I paid Kati $500 to take my wedding dress and create a top that "looked" like what we discussed, but which had serious construction, quality and fit issues. I am now paying another seamstress to remediate all of the work that Kati called her "best work ever". I took my dress to be altered into a peplum style top. At the initial appointment, the dress was put on a mannequin and we discussed the changes to be made. I asked if I should try it on, but Kati stated it wasn't necessary. I thought it was strange that she didn't want to take measurements given we discussed that my wedding was 5 years and 2 kids ago. In hindsight, this was the first red flag. When I arrived for the final fitting, Kati's assistant answered the door and let me know that Kati was finishing up a few things. I waited for about 20 minutes while I could hear the sewing machine frantically whirring in the back. If more time was needed to finish the gown, I would have rather delayed the fitting than rush the work. This was the second red flag. Kati brought out the dress and it appeared as we had discussed. The only time that Kati touched the garment during my fitting was to help me snap and unsnap it. There was no "fitting", "checking" or "fussing" to make sure it was perfect. I paid and left the studio with the top. At home I tried it on again and took a closer look over the whole piece. The sleeves were not staying up because they did not have enough room in the shoulders. The buttons on the sleeve cuffs did not lay nicely as the material was bunching and they were attached unevenly. A seam on the peplum skirt had the horsehair trim raw, jagged and sticking out. Most concerning, the seams and construction throughout were uneven and messy. I emailed Kati regarding this issues and we scheduled a date to come back. My gut however was telling me to get a second opinion. I am not an avid sewer, however I have completed multiple sewing projects, and the quality of work was nothing that I would expect from a professional seamstress. I took the top to a second bridal seamstress with over 25 years of experience. The seamstress identified a plethora of areas where the work was either not completed correctly or was poorly executed. Ultimately she felt it came down to inexperience and rushed work. I feel taken advantage of knowing that Kati let me walk out of her studio with a garment that had blatant craftsmanship issues, and I do wonder how many brides leave Topaz Thimble with poor quality alterations to their gowns. In summary, the following issues were noted: - Seams throughout are messy and incorrectly executed - Sleeves and peplum skirt were incorrectly constructed - Thread color used did not match the rest of the dress - All horsehair seam edges were left raw and unfinished - Appliques were incorrectly connected and causing bunching - Time and effort were not taken to construct proper seams between the sleeve and the strap, as well as between the bodice and the peplum skirt, resulting in bunched and uneven seams. After meeting with the other seamstress, I emailed Kati explaining that I did not feel comfortable returning to Topaz Thimble to have the work corrected. I requested a refund to help cover the cost of the remediation work. In her response, Kati refused to acknowledge the issues identified and refused to provide any type of refund. Kati stated that I was not a sewing expert and stopped responding to any follow up from my side. I submitted a dispute to my credit card company citing "unsatisfactory quality for services rendered" and included all correspondence. After reviewing the case, the bank sided with me and refunded my money. I feel this speaks to the credibility of the review. Overall, when choosing someone to work on one of the most important garments in your life, I recommend you choose someone who has an immense amount of experience and attention to detail. Find someone who will not cut corners, and most importantly, someone who is kind and customer focused. You will not find this with Topaz Thimble.
