DO NOT go to Lee's Tailors!!! I took my brand new wedding dress (that I paid over $2,000 for) to…read moreget minor adjustments. I just needed the straps of the dress to be shorter and for the tulle/lace in the front to be replaced with fabric from the dress. First, they lost the replacement fabric I provided. Next, they cut the straps of the dress dramatically and changed the entire structure of the dress to an unwanted empire waist dress! After crying in the store from being groped (yes, groped) and gaslit by the rude staff, they promised to correct their mistake and for me to come back. After coming back two more times (each the dress straps were not adjusted as requested), they let out the bust of the dress. This was not requested at all and now my perfect dress is a complete disaster! The staff at Lee's Tailors managed to destroy not only the dress but the vision for my wedding. After going back and forth to them FIVE times, I managed to get my dress from them. Now, I have to either purchase a replacement dress or find another seamstress all before my wedding in three weeks!! I'm completely screwed and left scrambling! I would've been better off altering the dress myself.

Last week I took three dresses to this tailor for alteration. One simply needed to be hemmed to a…read moreshorter length, one needed to be shortened and have a decorative border removed in that process, while one required an alteration to the sleeve. I did not try on two of the three dresses for the tailor because I did not feel it was necessary. They simply needed to be shortened, and I specifically stated that I wanted them shortened by 5 inches. The lady working with me did not measure or mark 5 inches on the fabric, she simply guesstimated and stuck a straight pin in the dress to indicate where the fabric was to be cut. She also did not write down my instruction of 5 inches in the notes that she took. When I picked up the dresses, one of them had been shortened by at least a foot, and the other by at least 10 inches. It is absolutely ridiculous to me that such an error in measurement could have been made. I am partially at fault for this, because I did not try the dresses on and let her pin up the hem to the length that I desired. I did not do so because I am currently wearing a full-length leg brace and using a walker while recovering from knee surgery, which would have made changing clothing and stepping up on their pedestal difficult for me. I thought that the clear and precise direction cutting and hemming the dresses to be five inches shorter would be sufficient. The second of those two dresses had a decorative border around the bottom of the skirt that I did not like. I asked that it be completely removed when the dress was shortened. The lady smiled and nodded to indicate that she understood my request, but she did not write my instructions down. The border was not removed as I had requested . Instead, the fabric was cut above the border, the dress shortened, and the decorative border sewn back on. Again, I blame this mistake on the fact that the instructions that I gave were not written down. I blame the language barrier for this. Don't come at me with unwarranted accusations of xenophobia when I say this. I am a die-hard liberal and do not stand for any sort of xenophonic nonsense. I am simply stating that the language barrier contributed to my instructions not being followed, and that the tailor did not make detailed notes of my instructions because she simply did not understand what I was saying, although she nodded and smiled as if she did. I'm not sure I can even describe the mess that was made of the sleeve alteration that I requested. (I DID try this dress on to show the tailor what I wanted altered because it had a fuller skirt that I could wear over my leg brace without having to remove it, and I did not need to step onto the pedestal because the alteration was to the sleeve, not the overall length of the garment.) The dress had a very short ruffled cap sleeve that I felt was too voluminous, and I requested that the ruffle be detached, excess fabric be removed, and then the ruffle be reattached, so that the sleeve lay closer to my arm and not be as poofy. The lady pulled the fabric taunt to make the ruffled sleeve smaller as I had requested, nodding to indicate that she understood. Again, she made no written notes, but I thought that she had indicated that she understood my request. When I picked up the dress, the fabric had simply been pulled taunt and tacked without the excess fabric being removed, creating two separate armholes on each side. It was absolutely ludicrous that anyone could possibly think that that was what I wanted. It boggles the mind. Thankfully, at least the fabric of that dress was not cut, so the stitches that this tailor made can be picked out and the alteration done correctly elsewhere. I did not try on the dresses when they were picked up from the tailor, in fact I did not even pick them up myself, due to the mobility issues I am having post knee surgery, which prevents me from driving. So I I was not aware of the mistakes that were made until the alterations were already paid for and the dresses were already removed from the premises. Not that it would have helped in the case of the two dresses that were incorrectly shortened and hemmed, since the fabric was cut and the excess likely disposed of. Perhaps the third dress with the incorrect sleeve alteration could have been redone by that tailor, but if my wishes were not understood the first time, I honestly don't think a second repetition and demonstration would have helped much. The cost of these alterations, having two dresses hemmed and altering the sleeve of a third, was over $100. Two of the three dresses were completely ruined. I am therefore out over $500, the price of the clothing in addition to the cost of these bad alterations. I strongly suggest to anyone who needs alterations made to an expensive or irreplaceable item that they avoid this business and take the clothing to a tailor where English is fluently spoken and understood, in order to avoid the destruction of the item.

My wife brought a pair of pants for a simple hem in the length. She picked it up, tried them on and notices that they didn't do a single thing to the pants except press them. She brought them back and showed the girl Robin (who actually is quite nice) behind the counter who agreed. So they measure and put the hem request in again. She goes back a week later and what do you know, they didn't do a damn thing to the pants just pressed them again! It took a 3rd time and Robin had to call over to where Lee's sends their hems because as you may know, they don't do any of their own work, they send EVERYTHING out. Ok, so a month to have pants hemmed, could be worse. Well trust me it gets much worse. I go in and drop off a bunch of shirts to be dry cleaned. I have a pretty no mess job, don't drink coffee all day long, really don't eat in the car where food can spill all over me. So its safe to say my dry cleaning is pretty basic, no real stains ever. I pick up my shirts, get home, take them out of the plastic and my almost brand new Brooks Brothers cuffed dress shirt has what appears to be some kind of cleaner stain on it. Lets call it bleach but it wasn't bleach because the color didn't go to white it when to brown. This wasn't a small stain, I'm talking across the entire front of the shirt. It looked like it was squirt with a water gun. You know the type of stain I'm talking about, a big blotch and then a thin stream across it. I bring the shirt back, show it to the girl who agreed something must have happened to it and she would speak to the owner and asked if I could come back in a few days. So a week goes by, I return, the owner isn't there but she asks if I wouldn't mind speaking to him over the phone. Now, that was difficult enough because I could barely make out what he was saying but in a nut shell he blamed it on "cologne" being on the shirt or some kind of "alcohol that was invisible until cleaned." Mind you I don't wear cologne but I do like to booze from time to time and have spilt alcohol on my cloths. This would be some kind of new alcohol just invented that ruins when spilled. Maybe they invented it to help people quit drinking. But all that aside I can safely say I'm not boozing from 8am-5pm (at least during the week) so it wasn't the new invention of "Staining Alcohol". So obviously come choice words began to fly (I am from NJ) and when it was all said and done he refused to replace or pay for any of the shirt and of course I still paid for the cleaning when I first picked up the shirt that wasn't refunded! Clearly I won't be returning, I may even start a petition to have them closed down. Obviously that won't happen because a week from now I'll be too lazy to even do that. I will however continue to give that place the middle finger every time I drive over to Harris Teeter!! I blame myself, I should have trusted all the google reviews!

Here sums up my before lees tailor catastrophe and how they saved my wedding dress…read more I bought my dress in February 2014 and it fit me perfectly. Low and behold I try it on 2 months before my wedding that is in October 2014 and I can't even get it zipped past my hips. Panic mode!! I did some research and figured out I could add a corset and have the seams let out but it would cost me at least 500 bucks at David's and all these work from home seamstress were booked up. My wedding planner recommended lees tailor at Crabtree mall where she had success with her other brides 'dress disasters. I brought my dress in, the ladies circled my dress while I'm wearing it for about 5 min and then said "we can fix this". Sounded too good to be true. All I had to do was go to Joanns fabrics down the street, match my dress to 2 yards of fabric and they added a corset. They also let out 2.5 inches from my waist and back side. After 3 fittings and tweaks here and there PLUS hemming the bottom to fit my very comfortable flat shoes my dress is saved!! And for less than 200 bucks. I can't thank them enough. They have so many bad reviews on here and I was only going by blind faith in my wedding planner but I am so glad I came here. These ladies were so kind and they work fast. Thank you!
