    Never use this place for any alterations or dry cleaning. It's only her working here, and she takes…read moreon too many orders to keep up with. My order was one month late and she's always changing hours. She is also never in the shop and leaves notes on the door to come back another time. She didn't bother to snip loose threads after tailoring, and the dry cleaning was mediocre. I never leave reviews, but the experience was so bad I felt inclined to help someone else avoid this place. How do you expect to get good reviews when you make false promises and not even be in your store during the hours YOU POSTED as open? Thats not how a business works. Don't waste your time or money like I did. (The door is locked in the photo and she wouldn't pick up the phone. It was my fifth visit before I finally got my clothes)

    I have waited a long time to post this review as I seldom give a small business owner negative…read morefeedback. However, after much consideration I have decided it is warranted in this case. I enjoy wearing expensive clothing and am able to do so by buying pre-owned items which I could not afford if new. I am very selective in my purchases and know my body's dimensions in precise detail. During April I took several items of quality men's clothing to Christine for some simple alterations including the letting out of waistlines, the finishing of hems, and the replacement of buttons. Each item of clothing was accompanied by a handwritten block printed note requesting (as in "please...." ) the specific alteration that I desired, such as "please let out the waist to 36 inches". I would estimate that there were approximately ten items in total. She accepted my clothing and instructions and took my contact information. The first warning sign was that the receipt she issued me did not specify the number of items I was receipting to her, the work she was to perform, an itemized expense for each requested alteration, nor a total amount which would be due. She requested that I make a deposit and I was receptive to that as I am used to paying 100% up front for alterations. She specified a pickup date two weeks into the future in which I was fine with. I visited her shop approximately three weeks afterwards (intentionally allowing additional time for her completion) and no work had been performed. I was told to come back in a week. In approximately ten days I returned and again no work had been completed. I was told to return in a week. In a week I returned and you know what I was told. At about the 45 day mark I received a phone call that my order was complete and ready for pickup. I arrived her shop and the first problem was that she had difficulty locating all of my clothing. The next problem was she told me she had not performed several of the alterations I had requested as "those clothes are already the dimension you requested!" I ask you - based upon what I have shared so far in this review - do I impress you as someone precise and meticulous or does she? And finally, she proceeded to quote an astronomical total price for the work she had (not) done. At this point I was just happy to get my clothes back, pay her, and get out of her shop. In fact, I was so exasperated and in a hurry to leave that I failed to notice she had failed to credit me for my deposit against the final amount due. Engage Christine for alterations at your own peril. Some of her reviewers seem quite satisfied with her work. Are you feeling lucky?
