Now she says I'm just complaining to get money. The best thing for me would be for no other bride to go through the stress and gaslighting I suffered through this process.

After many tears, I called the bridal shop where I originally bought the dress, and they told me, "if any anyone can fix it, it's Larisa." Man, were they right! When I came out of the dressing room to show her the dress, she sighed, gave me a big hug, and told me she'd do what she could. Two weeks later, she handed my dress back to me, and it was as good as new! She'd managed to take the boning out and stitch the lace back together in such a way that the seams were invisible. Throughout the process, she was warm and communicative. Especially for tricky jobs, I can't recommend her highly enough.

The dress I ordered was way too big and needed the bust, waist and some length taken off on the bottom. Once I got there and put on the dress, she pinched the side of the dress with just her fingers, asked me where else I wanted it to get taken in, then went to write up an estimate. She didn't pin it, she didn't take chalk to the bottom to know how much to alter too. When she came back she said it would be too expensive. I asked her what the price would be, because that wasn't very clear. She said it would cost $310 to alter everything. I asked her how much it would be to keep the length and just take the sides and bust, she replied " well how are you going to walk?". I figured I would be able to take the length myself and have her take in the rest, as it's only a french seem at the bottom of the dress. However, I was a little taken back by the comment and decided to find another place to get my alterations done as her step price seemed a little too steep for me. The next day I booked an alterations at Nordstrom,and they quoted me $110 dollars for everything I asked for from Larisa. I have no doubt that Larissa is very skilled however, I feel like the price for alterations was a little too steep in my opinion for a bridesmaid dress.

Two months later I called to follow up and learned the dress was never shipped. One month later I learned that the dress was in the shop but no one had called. Two weeks later I went to pick up the dress and found out they forgot to sew buttons onto the back. Two weeks later the dress was finished with faux buttons instead of real ones (though I had paid an extra $150 for them). When they had finally finished I went to try it on and it was so large I felt like I was swimming in it. They quoted me almost $1000 to tailor the dress (almost half the price of the dress) because it had been ordered so large (they did take my original measurement). The lace up both sides was ripped when I got the dress in multiple places. I was informed the best they could offer was 10% off alterations. Over all they were kind but the product and customer service made it really hard for me to recommend this shop.

My dress is stunning, and they ensured it was perfect for me on my special day. Even thinking about this is getting me emotional, of course! I worked with George a few times and Marie mostly, and absolutely loved them. Marie is something else and will guarantee you laughter. She is professional in her own way, while providing her kindness and expertise. She is outgoing, outspoken, loud and fun - just like me. Wink wink. She is real, and tells it how it should be told, something I appreciate so much in people. She is in this profession for a reason and knows exactly what she is doing. From the first fitting, everything was flawless. My dress was not simple - beads, plenty of lace, and more detail, and yet it was absolutely perfectly altered. The alterations were not cheap, but this was our wedding day, our special day, and working with Marie and George to perfect my beautiful dress, was the absolute best choice. This is a one time thing and I just had a feeling seeing Marie would be the best option, and so we went with it, and you should to! I highly recommend working with Marie and her team to ensure your wedding dress is as perfect as it could be, just like mine. Thank you so much for making my dress so beautiful, and just right for me!

Apparently I am the exception, because I had an indescribably terrible experience with my wedding…read moredress alterations. At first, everything was great. The dress looked good, and it looked good for my wedding ceremony despite the issues we had. During my alteration process, I found a hole in my dress, after I had already paid. Luckily, it was underneath and couldn't be seen. Marie said she was going to partially refund my payment, and fired the person who cut the lining out of my dress, assuming they were at fault. She even told me the girl had been reprimanded for chatting too much and that she had not been properly focusing on her work. I never saw a refund. My dress was also a wrinkled mess in my portrait. She claimed to have been pressing my dress for hours when I arrived to pick it up, but it looked horrible. I've posted a photo of the dress when she pressed it, and when Traditions by Anna pressed it because I was so displeased, and there is a huge difference. Then, at the wedding my bustle broke (one loop she sewed completely fell out, and one hook is hanging by a thread) after less than 30 minutes being bustled. I had a very heavy fabric, and the workmanship was just inferior. It shouldn't have fallen apart- I didn't sit down and was never stepped on. It was not busted long enough to have a chance for anyone to step on it! I spent all night with safety pins in my 5,000 dollar wedding dress, and missed so many special moments because I was being repinned constantly. The loop was a thin thread, no wonder it didn't hold the thick satin fabric. After the honeymoon I called her to express my displeasure. After being promised a phone call back multiple times, and not hearing from her, we finally spoke. She set up a time to call, 4:00, and called. At 4:08 she started telling me she had an appointment. She didn't event set aside a time to speak with me, and rushed me off the phone. While on the phone, she offered me the cost of 1 bustle point as a refund, 30 dollars, and refused to take any responsibly or show any remorse. She was extremely defensive and said once the dress leaves she is not responsible for it. Although she isn't responsible for mishaps, she is responsible to do the job, and do it right. She should have the decency to be invested in her customers happiness, and if she isn't, and isn't willing to stand by her work, she does NOT need to be near anyone's wedding gown. She was outright rude and sarcastic, and began lying about events leading up to this. She said she gave me a refund, and that she had discounted my alterations, however I paid well before she promised me a refund, so she did nothing after the hole incident and claimed that her already discounted price was my refund. Then, she blamed the hole on the manufacturer. I inspected the dress before my portrait the first week in April, and it was fine, then the hole was found on Easter. She claimed it was sent to us that way, but she fired a girl over it? That doesn't make sense. She also claimed my alterations should have been 750, and she charged me 400. She quoted 500, and discounted to 400. I NEVER heard 750, until today when we spoke. Everything about this process was an ordeal. I am very displeased with Marie. She doesn't stand beind her work, so I highly advise NOT using her services.

I've had luck with finding some staple items here for fair prices. $30-50 for a nice blouse or casual dress. The reason the rating is so low is because of the manager who oversees the store. She isn't there every time I have gone in, and the experience is better without her. She seemed very standoffish and was short with me at checkout. Very unapproachable. HELLO, this is retail. On another note, the lighting in the fitting rooms is excruciatingly bad. I feel like I have gained 10 lbs every time I look in the mirror.

And I say this as someone who has been to many a thrift shop, as well as a couple of the other vintage doors that show up on Yelp in the Research Triangle area. On this occasion I was in dire need of a dress to wear for a mehndi social event and was looking for something very much in alignment to a beautiful multi-colored number I had rented from Rent the Runway last summer. In hindsight, I should have bought that dress when I had a chance, but that's the thing about hindsight. . . Anyways, Dress proved to be a really fun browsing experience. The store is large and the racks are full and generally assorted by color, which really helps when you're looking for something specific. I tried on two items. One: a multicolored tunic style dress and 2: a really cute romper with some lace appliques. Neither of them got me super excited, so I will keep up my search for the dress that got away. Meanwhile I was pleased to find that Dress also has a healthy selection of well-made jewelry, as well as designer shoes for perusal. I may have struck out this time but this shop is definitely going into my rotation. This Brooklyn girl is definitely starved for some fun fashion finds.

Long story below, but TL;DR: these guys are great!…read more It's a rough market out there for off-the-rack women's formalwear, unless you really like sweating it out in polyester. I have wanted a suit for a really long time, but... well. I have DDDs, am generally midsize everywhere else (12-14 size waist) and I'm 5'1" on a good day. Even women's blazers don't fit me. Slacks? Forget about it. I knew that getting custom suit locally was the only way to go--I couldn't find any reviews or pictures of Bunbury's work with women's suiting, but I figured it couldn't hurt to make an appointment. I had never owned or worn a suit before, so I had very little knowledge about what would work for me. Fortunately, at the first fitting, Rohit spent a full two hours patiently explaining different suit cuts, making recommendations on style and fit, and answering my many, many questions. Both the suit coat and waistcoat were absolutely PERFECT at the first fitting, which felt truly insane to me given my lifelong struggles with blazers. We ended up going through a few rounds of alterations on the shirt and pants, in no small part because of my own inexperience--I was discovering my own preferences for suiting as we worked through different options, and a lot of what I want out of a suit was a lot more in line with the conventions of men's formal suiting than women's--but Ro & co. had an insane level of patience and kept reworking everything until it was perfect. And as a total outsider to men's fashion, I never felt anything but safe, welcomed and respected in the Bunbury offices. Oh yeah, and the finished suit is amazing. Comfortable in all kinds of weather, a million hidden pockets, excellent range of motion... I've played a round of capoeira in the full getup without straining a single seam. By all accounts Bunbury is extremely on point with deadlines and alterations tend to be reliably completed within a week. In my case, the owners were hit with a truly Shakespearean tidal wave of once-in-a-lifetime delays beyond their control, and I was happy to slow down our alterations schedule in favor of their wedding clients because I didn't have any pressing deadlines to meet. As a thank-you, Bunbury ended up providing several tailored shirts for free, to the point where I'm honestly a little concerned that I'm tanking their bottom line. I have absolutely made out like a bandit from this experience. And even though I don't really attend formal events often enough to warrant it, I'm making room in my budget for their three for two suit deal in the future.
