I was running late but the woman I spoke with stayed on until I got there. The costume she "put together" was fabulous--a real cotton/velvet blue jacket with a gold collar, a throat ruffle, and a hat with a white feather. It was perfect, of high quality (though used, as this is typically a rental shop), and charged me $25. I couldn't believe it and my son was elated.

I've ordered twice from their online store - both times during the pandemic. The first order I placed spring of 2020 and it took forever to arrive. I think I waited 4 weeks. The second order I placed about a month ago and it arrived very quickly! It's not a store for everybody. If you are expecting a totally organized, neat as a pin store, you may well be disappointed. If you enjoy walking in and being immediately in awe of the sheer amount and different types of fabric and enjoy exploring, it's a treasure trove.

Andrea is a very talented seamstress and wedding dress designer. Her specialty is designing dresses…read morefor women who don't fit into standard off the rack dresses. She loves her work and puts her heart and soul into each dress that she designs. Not quite as exciting as a wedding dress, but perhaps longer lasting .... Andrea designed all of the pillows that in three different massage therapy practices over the last 15 years. My clients compliment them all the time! I'm also lucky to have fun (funky in a cool way) zaxwear pillows happily accessorizing my living room. It's true that you can't please everyone, but Andrea's work is certainly pleasing to me :).

WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT GET WEDDING DRESS ALTERATIONS DONE FROM ANDREA AT ZAXWEAR…read more I went to this business after being given a list of local seamstresses in the area of the shop I bought my beautiful wedding dress from. Andrea had my dress from early February until mid June, and I was charged over $370. I had her hem the length of the dress, adjust the shoulder straps, and cinch in the sides of the chest area so it would fit better.  This describes the "finished" alterations when she was done: -Instead of letting out the straps from the fabric (there was extra fabric for the straps below the stitching) to adjust them, she cut the straps which shortened the length of them so when she moved them further down in the back as I had originally  asked, it made the chest area ride up and sit awkwardly in the front.  -When she cinched in the sides she did not remove any fabric or boning, making it bulky and flare outward.  -She sewed the cups in so crookedly that when I got home with my dress I had to remove them.  -She didn't even cut a straight hemline. It literally looked like a child cut it and I had to fix this myself. BUT WAIT, IT GETS WORSE! When I contacted Andrea after getting home with my dress and noticing more and more details that were poorly done, I sent her a brief email describing some of things I was unhappy with. She sent me a response saying that if I wanted to bring the dress back in she would give me a new estimate! Shocked by her suggestion, I sent a follow up email which included photos, asking her if, given the length of time- almost 6 months- that she had my dress, it was truly her best work that she should now charge me more money for to fix. No response. I emailed her again after several days, stating how I was surprised I hadn't heard from her and how little time I had left. I asked her for a response. NOTHING. Seems to be a pattern of hers with other reviewers too. Honestly I'm just lucky to have found someone else to fix my dress. I literally had 12 days left before my wedding, the most important day of my life, when Andrea ghosted me and no other tailors or seamstresses were willing to even look at a garment which another person had worked on. The amazing and wonderful person who was able to help me fix everything with less than two weeks until my wedding had to figure out a way to lengthen the straps with what was left after they were cut so short, remove boning in the bodice which flared out, undo the horribly sewn cinch job Andrea did and correct it, and put in new cups that were the correct type/size.  Bottom line is Andrea didn't have a good understanding of how the dress was meant to fit my body. She took a ridiculously long amount of time to do a seriously bad job with the alterations. Then she decided to attempt to charge me more money to fix it and stopped responding to me when I brought these issues to her attention. Ladies, save yourself a major headache and don't go here!!!

In my dancing years I enjoyed coming here for my shoes, leotards, tights, leg warmers, fake eye…read morelashes...all the things you need to be a dance. I needed shoes for lyrical, jazz, ballet, and pointe. Shoes only last at most a year, so I was here often. They have a great selection of different types of shoes so you can find the one that fits you best. They are also very knowledgeable. When I needed my first pair of pointe shoes I was so excited. Only dancers will understand.... I came here and they sat me down and looked at my feet, measured them, had me stand and get into different ballet positions. They had me try on many different styles and brands. They kept encouraging me to take my time, move around in the shoes, etc. I was there for awhile, it was a process, but I appreciated it because I came out with a great first pair of shoes. They even set me up with the right kind of padding and tape, and showed my mom and I how to sew on the elastic and ties. It also always smells good in here..just a side note.

Yesterday, in a heat wave, my A/C unit stopped working. I called after hours and spoke with the answering service. I received a call back at 7:32 this morning, and John, a professional who has worked on our boiler, was here by 12:30. He repaired my A/C, noticed that my filters needed replacing, ran back to the office for replacements, and checked to make sure that the A/C was working well. I am very grateful for a neighborhood company. The office staff are always cheerful and professional, and any time I have called for service, I have had wonderful service with professionals. Each has taken time to explain to me the parts and service, and I am extremely glad to give Richard's my highest recommendation.
