I asked that she reinforce the bracket stitching that holds the jackets together but instead she put metal brackets in the jackets that did not hold up, ripped my material, and came off. They were also visible when you closed the jacket and they were not supposed to be. 4. This was my wedding and both of my jackets were ruined. She should not have used those metal brackets and she should have reinforced the buttons. 5. I requested a refund what I paid for the service and never got it.

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.

The inside of the shop is nice with a private dressing room.

However, given my experience, the timing was great and I know she would have been happy to fix any issues if there had been any, she was really nice to work with.

When I finally came to pick up my clothes only 4 out of the 21 items were completed even after calling to confirm several times.I'm absolutely devastated that I was treated so poorly. They never once told me the truth! What's worse is bc she didn't do my clothes for so long that she totally forgot what she was supposed to do alterations wise, and ruined one of my long rain coats and a very expensive St. John suit jacket!!

I wrote to find out what the status was, and she apologized for the delay and asked if I still wanted to proceed. I replied "Yes!" Back to silence. Since then I've sent a few more emails, including one where I stated it was clear that for whatever reason she was unable to do the requested work, and I asked for the items to be returned to me.

So I bought a beautiful white wedding dress online and found Marisela at ALTERIA online and inquired about her services. We discussed the color, she answered my questions, and we got the ball rolling. My dress came back even more beautiful than I could have imagined!! Between buying the dress, having it dyed, and having it tailored - I still only spent less than $600 overall which seemed like a great price compared to dresses I was seeing in stores. I attached photos of the untailored white dress versus the final tailored beautiful blue version. Marisela was incredible to work with and I am so glad I found her company!! She made my Cinderella dreams come true on my big day and I will treasure the photos and memories forever. :) Thank you so much ALTERIA!!!!
