I am SO great full to have found Barb. I moved here to Pittsburgh from California and needed to…read moredesperately find a alterations person for my wedding dress. I searched and found Barb I literally needed someone to not only take it in and hem it but I needed the back to be lowered the sleeves to be removed, the neckline taken down we pretty much recreated my dress, so that says a lot. She's also made my veil and belt and very reasonable price! I can't wait to put it on for my wedding day! I'm so excited! Barb did everything I wanted and then some. The fit is perfect and I couldn't be happier. Do yourself a favor and go to Barb she is so sweet and kind and really listens to what you want.

Barb is a lifesaver! I bought a "custom made" dress for my…read moredaughter's wedding from a store, and when it was shipped the proportions were totally off and it did not fit at all. The store flat out refused to fix it and I was in a bind. When I brought the dress to Barb I was not optimistic that it could be salvaged but I was totally wrong! Barb is extremely talented - she did an incredible job and it turned out perfect! The beading made the fabric difficult fabric to work with, but Barb worked her magic and it came out wonderful. She even added sleeves and a back, finding the perfect material and designing it so it matched the dress perfectly. I highly recommend Barb to anyone looking for a custom-made dress, a re-make like mine or alterations.

After doing some research - Reddit and other reviews - I found Old Flame Mending. Rebecca, the owner, was extremely welcoming and friendly. I scheduled a 30-minute time slot and was happy with how attentive she was. She allowed me to try a few different lengths, both what the pants would look like while standing and sitting and was very patient. The two-week turnaround was well worth it. I imagine you can pay more to expedite, but I was not in a hurry. For just under $30 per pair, great value in my opinion. I just picked up the jeans and they came out fantastic! They were completed on time and when I tried them on, they fit better than I was expecting. I will absolutely be coming here for future needs.

There was practically no fraying. I was expecting either narrow ladder or narrow zigzag stitching to join the edges with the repair looking like a thin scar in the fabric. Instead I got what you see here. The fabric is crushed and the threads are a rat's nest. I doubt this 'repair' can be repaired. My seamstress mom is rolling in her grave.
