I walk into the shop, take a pair of shorts out of my backpack, and show whom I believe is the proprietor the broken zipper. He says yes, he can fix it, and then asks as clear as day, "10 dollars ok?" I said that works for me. He proceeded to write up a ticket and asked me how soon I needed the job done. I said no rush. He then asked, 'Is Friday the 30th ok?' (11 days away). I also said that's fine. Next, he says 'That's 30 dollars,' but quickly corrected himself (realizing that 30 was the date he just mentioned), and now asked for $20. I said, 'But sir, you just told me the price was $10.' He became visibly angry, and said I was the one who made a mistake. While I attempted to talk, he repeatedly said "Bye" to me, so I left with my shorts. Here's the thing: I'm now Googling how much alteration shops charge to fix zippers on pants (which I assume is the same as shorts). What's coming up is anything from $10 - $25 dollars. So, I'm not complaining about the price of $20 -- I guess that's pretty standard -- I'm venting about how this gentleman made a mistake, blamed me, and angrily told me to go. I see others here have had great experiences. Glad for them. Maybe I caught this guy on a bad day.

Prior to altering the dress, I also had a problem in the chest area, as I couldn't find a suitable bra to work because my bra was visible in the v-line area of the dress. After meeting with Jessica and discussing options, we were able to find a perfect solution-- she used the same fabric taken from the bottom hem to create a small square, which Velcroed to the inside of my bra and folded over the front of the bra. This made it look like it was a part of the dress' design, making it super convenient to not have to constantly adjust the bra to hide it. Jessica and I met twice to consult about what needed to be done prior to altering, and I really appreciated how dedicated Jessica was to do the job right. She responds promptly, which I also love, as we were able to communicate frequently about questions I had and the timeline for getting my dress back. I also live about about an hour away from her, but she kindly offered to meet closer in my direction, which was extremely convenient.Once I had my final fitting to pick up the dress, it was like putting on a glove. Everything was done absolutely perfect. She even made me a scrunchie with leftover material from hemming the dress, which I thought was the cutest thing! I recommended her to a family member, who was also in love with the way her dress fit after working with Jessica. I would recommend Jessica to any and all looking for alterations. She is amazing!

Yady is nothing short of a miracle worker with alterations! My wedding dress had been with (who I…read morethought was) a very reputable tailor for over two months after taking my measurements. When I finally picked it up, it fit me very poorly. I was totally panicking and unsure of what to do with less than a month until the big day. I took it to Yady as a last resort, knowing she most likely wouldn't be able to fit me in. She totally could have turned me away seeing as it's basically the height of wedding season and I was giving her three weeks. Not only did she accommodate me, she was so friendly and reassuring about it, AND she finished the dress in 2 weeks so that we had a few buffer days to make final tweaks and get the dress perfect. Yadi did not owe me that kind of service whatsoever! I was blown away at her customer service. This was a tall order for a last minute request- NOT a simple hem job. The top of my dress basically had to be completely reconstructed. She totally saved my dress and restored my excitement about the wedding in general. Her prices were also very fair for what she had to do on the timeline at hand. I couldn't recommend her enough!

My daughter lives in Central Florida, Last November just before Thanksgiving, my girl planned her bridal gown shopping weekend in Central New Jersey, where the wedding would be. I was entrusted to pick the gown up when it came in, and in the meantime, to find a reputable place near me to get alterations done. No pressure, right! On December 10th I contacted three businesses via Yelp. Barbara's response was the most on target; she anticipated my questions, needs for the work, and nervousness to get this right. I took this as an indication of her experience, professionalism, and genuine interest in the work. Boy was I ever right! In that first day we had a back and forth conversation, she got all the pertinent sizing information, and based on that and a photo of my daughter in the dress was able to give me a stunningly reasonable ballpark estimate --and this is important--without having to see them both in person! Based on that initial back and forth, I also sensed that my daughter would be very comfortable with Barbara. The dress came in sometime in late February and I drove up to New Jersey, brought it home to Mechanicsville, and it hung in the guest room until the week before the Bridal Shower in May. My daughter came up from Florida on her way to New Jersey and got to try on her dress and meet Barbara for the first time. The dress came with straps that needed to be placed and sewn in as opposed to merely affixed with the hooks, in addition, the top of the bodice needed adjustment because my daughter was very concerned not to show cleavage, there was the hem, some taking in at the seams, and the bustling of the train. The initial fitting solved some issues, but there were important loose ends, like the veil and blusher which hadn't been ordered, and the "undergarment" that is really kind of important in the grand scheme of things. My daughter hit it off with Barbara, and that was THE best thing. Barbara is flexible, patient, unflappable, and gracious. And gifted. The dress fit so well the Bride had no cause to tug it up, or down, or lift it up to glide down the aisle or into the reception hall, or otherwise "manage" it during the course of the events: it flowed with the day, as if it was a part of the bride. And there were details, the blusher, that was part of my own wedding veil was perfectly added to the Cathedral length bridal veil; the simple bustle that easily lifted the train up off the floor and the pocket square embroidered with a message to the groom in the bride's own handwriting! Perfect.
