It is as if you are invisible until you are ready to check out and even then they are not too friendly.

As they say: Buyer Beware. And after seeing ALL 1 Star, negative reviews it is safe to say this…read morebusiness is NOT good. No need to attempt to "help" a "small business owner". The true owner (who you never see in the store) is a young lady who has and had HUGE financial backing from a family "Elder". In the words, the business is a farce. The owner does NOT CARE if you go there or if you do not. This is a fact, do your research. Open public records show a 47 year old purchased FOUR (4) Multi family homes on Whitney Ave/ Mount Carmel section 20+ YEARS AGO. I say, you go ahead and try doing that at 27. All while you purchase your 5th (FIFTH) home that you live in. It will not happen- not with THIS TYPE of business OR this type of unprofessionalism. Knowledge is Power. And I just provided you with the tip of the iceberg as far as knowledge of this business is concerned. I lead you to water, you can decide to drink or not.

This is my first Yelp review ever - and I just had to express how unhappy I was with Bustles &…read moreBeaus. Prior to selecting this shop, I looked at another review and saw that others weren't happy. Also, through word of mouth, I heard that they were expensive & not very good. But the shop is very close to my home & others in the bridal party were using them. I took one adult dress and two flower girl dresses in. The adult dress just needed adjustment in the straps, and the girls' dresses needed to be taken in and one needed a hem. I also asked them to make a sash a permanent part of the dress by tacking the sashes in and making a bow that snapped on. As is their policy, I paid $130 in full for the services that I asked for at the time of the fitting. When I picked up the dresses the sashes were still unattached. When I called and asked why, they said that they decided not to. They never called me to discuss. I mentioned that I paid in full, and they said that I hadn't paid for that service. If it's their policy to have customers pay in full, then why didn't they charge for all the services??? Basically, I feel as thought they charged for a service, didn't perform the service, and are not issuing a refund for the service. Had they just called me, I would have picked up the dresses and brought them elsewhere. Do yourself a favor - do not use Bustles and Beaus. As an aside - they are also altering the bride's dress for this same wedding. The wedding is 48 hours away and her dress does not fit yet. Save yourself the stress and find a better seamstress.
