I found Olena on Yelp and she was able to squeeze me in the very next day - Godsent! She gave great professional advice about my zipper situation and was able to work her magic and change an off track zipper into a paneled corset backed dress. It made the dress so much more comfortable and I received so many complements at the event! She's timely, a Sewing Fairy Godmother, and will have your wedding or formal dress looking amazing. Thank you, Olena!

I returned after a few weeks to pick them up and had planned to wear them at a work meeting the next day. I tried them after paying to make sure they fit properly and they were too small and cropped way too short. I co e hardly zip them up. I told her they were too small and too short but there was no offer to change them the fee was very pricey for a poor job and half the cost of the pants I purchased. she sent me on my way seeming to not understand the situation. After I got home I saw what looks like they tried ironing or steaming the pants leaving a melted line down the pant leg. The pants are basically useless and unworn with an obvious burn mark. I Will not go back to this place. She did not take the time to measure correctly and there was no compensation or refund for ill fitting job. I'm surprised they are still open if they at are ok with this level of quality.

A few weeks ago I brought in a bridesmaids dress for my brothers wedding That I was in. I told them when the wedding was and I was given a date to pick it up one week before that, which was a Thursday. I was not able to pick it up that weekend due to being out of town. I had planned to get the dress that Monday. On Sunday I got a phone call from the owners daughter asking if I was going to pick it up. She then said that the owners were going to be gone and the store would be closed the whole next week including the following Saturday (the wedding day!) I told her I was planning on coming Monday. She proceeded to tell me that she would meet me at the store and open it just so I could pick it up! I was very appreciative and told her.. thank you and I'm writing a review because that's what small business' are like and we need to keep them in business!

The pants…read moreand blazer turned out fine, but they completely ruined the (very expensive) silk shirt I had brought in. When I picked it up it was discolored and very obviously not cleaned evenly (they had completely neglected part of the back and under the collar). I immediately brought this to one of the people working there, Tammy, attention. Not only was she extremely rude, but she kept rolling her eyes at me and sighing loudly. Perhaps the icing on the cake was when she pretended to (conveniently) not understand what I was saying to her and started replying to me in Chinese. I was disappointed not only in the quality of their work, but also the lack of professionalism and complete disregard for customer service. I would not recommend this business to anyone for that reason alone.
