    Satin Ivory Wedding Dress
    Emily C.

    I had my satin dress altered here and it was the BEST experience during every fitting! She made sure my wedding dress fit perfectly even leading up to the WEEK of my wedding (I had lost weight and my dress ended up being too big without realizing & sew true fix it, even being booked out). I can't recommend this place enough, truly saved the day and it looked beautiful and fit perfectly on my wedding day!

    Wedding dress alteration What a fantastic experience getting my dress altered. My dress what absolutely perfect and the professional advice is what made my dress stunning.

    This little gem is the greatest place to go to have your Alterations. The two young ladies that work there, no exactly what they are doing and when you go in just listen to them. They will tell you exactly what needs to be fixed and how it needs to be done. I have went to them several times, and they are always on time, everything turns out perfect and they are just absolutely wonderful to work with.I will continue to use them and they will be the only place I will go to for my Alterations. My wedding day would have never been able to be as wonderful as it was had they not completed the hard task of altering my wedding suit.

    After last week's unfortunate situation at another alternation store, I found this location and I'm very thankful. I called them and asked what I needed they said they could do it and they actually did. They we're very professional and quality is great. I asked to have the hem of some pants changed. They Delivered .

    Went to get a very small "mermaid tail blanket" get sowed together for my daughter(7 years old) and they wanted $60!!! to do it! 60, for 6 very small pieces of fabric...... Would take them probably 20 minutes to do, tops. And that was after I explained her best friend got it for her in August(3 months ago) for her bday and that my sewing machine(passed down from family) doesn't have a power cord.... The lady told me to find some little old lady down the street then⁉ What a rip-off, for a 7 year old girl and it being the holiday season. This kind of act will stop me from ever going here..... Shame on you for trying to take advantage of the situation‼

    The owner of the business took my granddaughter's wedding gown on August 23rd to alter. She…read morepromised it would take 2 months, my granddaughter is a size 4, so there was little besides hemming and bustle to do. We had an appointment for Saturday November 15 and when we got there the door was locked but hanging in the window, in the sun, was my granddaughter's dress. We waited approximately 25 minutes for her to show up only to have her say "why are you here?" When my granddaughter reminded her of the appointment which was scheduled on the same day as a party for the couple that evening Jerusia said "Oh, now I remember". But she hadn't touched the gown !!!! What followed were a series of excuses culminating in total rudeness. When my granddaughter said "I have no confidence that you will get this altered before my wedding in January, I am taking it back" she replied "You'll never find anyone to do the work in such a short time!" The final horror was when my granddaughter asked for her $200.00 deposit back and Jerusia refused !!!! How can anyone stay in business like this? And how can anyone have confidence that leaving a garment with her is safe? All of the reviews here are at least three year's old, clearly she no longer cares about her reputation. DON'T GO THERE, SHE'S A LIAR AND A CHEAT. SHE ONLY ACCEPTS CASH AND WHO EVER HEARD OF A $200.00 DEPOSIT BEFORE ALTERATIONS ARE DONE......SHE HAD MY GRANDDAUGHTER'S VERY EXPENSIVE WEDDING GOWN.

    J's specialty is dresses for sure. I've had several shortened from long to short here most recently…read morea tricky ruffle layered one. And they have all turned out great. She can typically do the work in a week. One time she crocheted a strap for a clutch I bought upstairs. I've been super impressed with her work. Will definitely be coming back even though it's a bit of a drive for me.

    Lea was recommended to me by family friends when I needed to have my wedding dress altered. They…read moregave me the address and the phone number and explained how to find --- it's a converted apartment. I tried calling the number with no response and no voice mail, so I just figured I would swing by. I saw the small sign for Lea and assumed I had the place. I rang the door bell twice and knocked. About to leave, an older woman answers the door (assuming now this is the infamous Lea) and I ask if I have the Lea Bowman Alterations. She does not answer but frowns at me and asks if I have an appointment. I say that I do not and ask if I need one. No, "I'd love to work with you but I try to keep appointments" or "yes, unfortunately I can only see you with an appointment." She just stares and continues to frown at me and nods her head. I am a 35 year old professional woman who was dressed in work attire and she made me feel as though I was homeless and trying to steal her flowers! I was in shock at her response and demeanor. I just said, OK thank you, knowing full well I would NEVER want to work with this woman. There are so many hard working small business owners in Jacksonville Beach. Save yourself the insulting stares. Use someone else. The other's comment that she is "old world" must be code for she will be rude and condescending... try to look past it... ;-)

The hem line was done in the wrong color thread and with unsteady needle work. The dress was to short in some places and to long in others. When confronted Lea was unprofessional and rude. I will never go back.
