I brought the jacket back, but instead of acknowledging that something went wrong, first she argued that there is nothing wrong with the jacket, then that she doesn't clean them in-house, so I should deal with her subcontractor, then that this fabric doesn't shrink ( my sleeves that are now inch and a half shorter say otherwise!). The point is, if you want your garments treated professionally, send them elsewhere

The wedding is now a week away and I have few options. When I replied that I was only doing what she told me. She was not concerned at all and seemed like I was bothering her.

In my most recent attempt to drop items off, I called to verify Galina would be open the following day. She assured me she would be open from noon til four. I arrived at 12:30 the next day, after a half hour drive from my home, to find the shop was closed though the hours posted on the door said Open 12 to 4. This has happened several times. I have no confidence I would get my clothes back if I did by some miracle find the store open. Galina does not deserve to stay in business.

If I could give this place -5 stars, I would. I brought in two dresses for alterations -- one of…read morethem being a sentimental piece that belonged to my late mother. I clearly communicated that I wanted to preserve the integrity of the original design and simply have it fitted slightly to my frame. Not only did she ignore my request, but she also removed key design elements (like the buttons) without asking -- essentially reworking the entire dress into something unrecognizable and poorly finished. The second dress? She didn't touch it at all. Literally zero work was done, yet she still charged me $90 in total. She also failed to mention when I dropped the items off that she only accepts cash. When I showed up with a card, she told me she could take Venmo -- but insisted I write "thank you" in the memo line instead of noting it was for alterations. That alone made it clear this is an under-the-table operation. When I came to pick up the dresses, she didn't offer a fitting -- which is extremely unusual for any reputable alteration service. It felt like she was rushing me out the door, and once I got home, I realized why: the second dress hadn't been altered at all, and the first was completely botched. This experience was beyond disappointing -- it felt like a scam. I went here based on glowing reviews and was completely taken advantage of. Please be cautious. I would never recommend this place to anyone, especially if you're bringing in a sentimental or special item.
