    Ruined dress

    I usually don't leave reviews but I cannot keep this to myself and would hate for anyone else to go through the same thing. Yesterday on 4/30/2024 I showed up to Nada's Alterations and was cussed out and degraded by the owners. I took a dress in on April 12th to get the length hemmed. Nada was not rude during my first encounter with her. She suggested I altered the straps as well so I agreed. I picked up the dress the following day on the 13th. When I put the dress on at home, it was completely messed up. Keep in mind that all I had gone in for was the straps and the length. The zipper was now not aligned but rather at a weird angle with a weird bump through the inside of the dress. The dress also has a slit on the left leg and the slit was now much higher than it was when I took it in. Yesterday on 4/30/2024, I went in to let them know the issues I was having with the dress and before I could finish explaining my concerns, Nada raised her voice at me and told me that she did nothing wrong and it was all my fault. I calmly asked her to please take a look at the dress so that she knew what I was talking about about. She finally took a look at the dress and tried showing me how everything was in its "original stitching". I told her I didn't know what she did with the dress besides what I had asked for, but I was not satisfied with the work. I kindly asked her to take a look and try adjusting what was wrong and she refused to. I showed her the images that I have posted on here and showed her where the problem areas were. She still refused to fix it and continued to blame me. She went on to tell me that it must have been weight that I had gained and I no longer fit in the dress and that was the reason it looked that way. I have no idea how this is possible when I picked up the dress the following day. At this point, she was very loud and rude. She said she has done over 4000 dresses and everyone loves her work .. now that I have read the reviews, I highly doubt that. I told her I did not care about any other dress besides my own and all I wanted was for it to be fixed. She continued to insult me by saying I needed money and that was the reason I was there. Nada told me to go buy another dress or to take it to someone else. This was a $200 dress that I bought and paid an additional $85 to be altered (more liked ruined) by Nada. She asked if I wanted my money back so I said yes. This is when her husband got very rowdy with me. He stood up and called me a stupid b**** along with many other lovely words. He told me I was stupid and to get out of the place. Nada continued her insults by telling me I have no "marbles" while pointing to her head and asking me why I do not understand anything. I kept my cool but they both kept insulting and yelling at me. I asked him to please stop calling me names and to not raise their voices at me and to please hear me out. At this point, I could not finish a complete sentence without being interrupted or being talked over. The husband was so aggressive that I decided to leave because I really thought he was going to hurt me at some point because he just kept getting closer and closer to me while yelling derogatory words. Keep in mind that I showed up by myself. I also asked them to provide me with a copy of my receipt and they were not able to do so either. The day that I dropped off my dress they had also told me to bring cash. Which now in hindsight I think is a little weird. Since I had taken the dress in on short notice, I assumed that perhaps she had made a mistake on her stitching. I would not have minded her owning up to a mistake and simply fixing it. I did not walk in expecting to be harassed. I would much rather expected them to be more understanding and willing to cooperate at minimum. Now that I've gone through many other reviews I see that this is not unusual behavior from them both. I do not understand how a business owner can be so cruel. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE. Nada and her husband are completely unprofessional, racist, and very rude. Do not trust this place nor the owners. Please take your business elsewhere.

    Updating with photos!…read more This is the 2nd time I've come to Rivers for really odd projects - the first time I bought this sunshade online and it turned out to be so flimsy, I needed a 2nd shade as a backing. Came to Rivers and they did exactly as asked. The 2nd was a jacket for when I'm working at home and any of the 3 pups want to take turns to join my meetings! You know how THOSE goes! I tried to browse online and while the sweaters were cheap, the taxes were a killer! So I bought two, $7 sweaters from Goodwill, showed Abuela the design and she totally nailed it! Plus if you're a dog lover, Abuela had a cute puppy in store with her Support your local artisans!

    Ruined my jeans. I went in asking if they could patch it. Lady said they could. I showed up a month…read morelater to ensure they had plenty of time to fix em. She didn't patch them but instead she sewed them really bad. Guy got in my face when I said I didn't like it. Said he was calling the cops because I asked for a refund. I basically paid them to ruin my jeans. He kept calling me a child and said if he were to refund me he'd have to keep the jeans, which made absolutely zero sense. He also implied that I was stupid for assuming they tailor by hand. If I'd known they just throw clothes under the sewing machine and sew with their eyes closed, I would've just done it myself, maybe it would've come out better. This place sucks, and it's my fault for not reading the reviews prior to this. Maybe it was better before, but the current owner genuinely sucks. **Editing my review since he wants to reply and act like he was a victim** I went in calmly and he laughed at me for asking him to fix it. He kept insisting that I said I wanted it to be perfect despite me repeatedly saying that I wasn't saying that, and when I'd ask him to stop putting words in my mouth, he'd again scoff and laugh. All I asked was that the jeans be fixed. Anybody would be upset seeing some stranger treat them the way he treated me. We came to a conclusion that he personally would sew the pants, and risky as it was, I left them there. 2 months later and they weren't sewn, just thrown in the back and left to be forgotten. So I took my pants and the loss. Clearly his response is enough to show that he can never take blame for a job poorly done. Take your business elsewhere, might be a bit pricier, but worth the peace of mind knowing that your clothes won't be treated like garbage and that the tailor will actually care about the quality they put out.
