    Carolina is a talented, passionate artist who made my wedding dress dreams come true! She took my…read moremom's wedding dress (from the 1970s!) and created an entirely new, modern dress for me. Everything about it was perfect. I can't say how very much I loved working with her to create such a beautiful dress for my wedding day. Trusting her with my mom's dress was the best decision I made!

    I may not be Cinderella but Carolina sure feels like my fairy godmother with how she saved my fit…read morefor my best friend's wedding in a pinch. This past weekend I was trying on the dress I got for my best friend's welcome party for her destination wedding. The zipper got stuck, then it broke, and my panic for having a new dress for this occasion in under a week set in. I used Yelp assistant to put in a request to local alterations spots and let them know I had a broken zipper off the track of a formal dress and I needed it fixed before Tuesday. This request was sent on a Saturday afternoon, so to be honest I was not very hopeful of any replies but Carolina replied right away. Her studio is right by my apartment so she told me to take my dress in right then to see if it could be fixed. She fixed the zipper on the spot, and when we actually tried on the dress we realized that I did not fit. Welcome to my nightmare. She had the brilliant idea to alter the dress and add fabric on the sides to give me the inches I needed. The result is essentially a custom dress that I am obsessed with, and at a great price. I am definitely going to keep Carolina on speed dial for any of my alterations needs as she is super sweet, detail oriented, and very well priced. Her studio is located in a blue building on Mediera and there is street parking right in front. Thank goodness for both request a quote and Carolina for saving my dress fiasco.

    DO NOT USE THIS DRY CLEANER!!!!!!!!!!!!…read more If I could give this place zero stars, I would. They ruined my brand-new dress, which cost me almost $800, just a week before my brother's wedding where I was planning to wear it. I received the dress back and noticed multiple dark stains that were not on the dress before I dropped it off to get dry cleaned. The staff claimed the stain was caused by glue that melted from the dress material- an absurd explanation considering the dress was entirely hand-sewn and no glue was used in the construction. I called multiple people that worked for the dress brand and they have had no problems with people dry cleaning the dress as it says on the tag "Dry Clean Only". They also repeatedly told me they never use glue on their clothes. I spoke to Christopher Echo, Sir Galloway's customer service manager, multiple times over the phone and he could not keep his story straight. At first he said it was glue from the material, then he said it was the interface that the dress company used. They sent the dress to an "independent" lab and just like Adriana C (another customer who has posted on this yelp page), the result came back that it was the fault of the manufacturer. Despite multiple attempts to discuss the issue with them, they refused to take responsibility. I even emailed the owner, Mary Mills, and I got no response back. The customer service was dismissive and unhelpful throughout the entire process. I had to rush the week of my brother's wedding to buy a whole new dress and also get that one tailored. I still have not been compensated for the price of the dress. The only thing they offered was a $100 gift card to Sir Galloway Cleaners which is useless as I will never be using them again. AVOID this company at all costs if you don't want your clothes destroyed and then be treated like it's your fault.

    !!!!DO NOT DRY CLEAN HERE!!!! - NEGATIVE STARS…read more -Atrocious Garment Neglect -Horrible Customer Service -Huge waste of your time, valuables, and sanity. In January 2023 I dropped off a brand new $1290. dress for dry cleaning and what I got back has no words. Photos speak for themselves. The dress looks like they mopped the floor with it and then returned it to me. It was clearly mishandled and not cared for properly. Ostrich Feathers missing throughout, the elastic through the entire garment is completely DESTROYED, detached, and melted. Dress is a Total loss. Once I made the claim, they came back to me saying they followed the "Dry Cleaning" Instructions and that it is the manufacturers fault for the dress not being able to withstand their dry cleaning process. It is evident to anyone with eyes that this dress was clearly mishandled. They also tried blaming me for the garment having feathers. I have many feathered garments in my closet that are new/old/antiques and they have all been kept in perfect condition. If you have the proper knowledge (as a luxury dry cleaner should) on how to care for specific garments this would not happen. They have held onto the dress for 6 MONTHS making me wait, telling me they're fixing the dress, "adding more feathers" to it. I told them it is impossible to color match the original feathers, but they said they would. They have made me drive out five times to see the dress after they claimed to have fixed by "adding more feathers" to waste my time and the dress is still in the exact same condition. After all this time the manager tells me they in fact were not able to color match and add any feathers to the garment and that they are unable to "fix the garment to my liking" as if the problem is the customer for not accepting a completely damaged dress that is unwearable. The managers best solution was to offer me a $300 dry cleaning credit which is completely unacceptable given they have ruined a $1290 dress to which i paid $86 to dry clean.
