    Just an update to my review of this business, to those of you who may have read my rather lengthy…read moretext, now my daughter is pregnant and I have no wedding dress train that was lost, stolen, or used elsewhere by this so called "seamstress" to make into a christening gown for my first grand daughter. So difficult to even give this business and their sloppy care of a garment entrusted to their care a one star rating.

    Horrible. Do not go to this tailor. I brought in a dress to get altered that cost over $1000. I…read morerequested the hem be brought up and another alteration done to the back. I was quoted 3 weeks for the service to be completed. 3 weeks went by with no communication from the tailor, so I called an she hadn't started yet! There was no communication from her that she was running behind, and it would be later than expected. When I went to pick the dress up a week later, the alterations were the poorest quality I've ever seen. The hem is so obviously uneven that you can see it when I'm wearing the dress. The alteration to the back was not done in the manner she had said it would be, and the fabric doesn't lay flush with my body. I'm so worried my dress has been butchered to the point that it's unwearable. When I called her to tell her my concerns, she told me to bring it in and she would fix it, but how do you trust someone to redo it when they just handed you back a dress with such poor quality alterations? I asked for my money back instead, but she refused and hung up on me. Basically, I'm out the money it cost for alterations that ruined my dress and now have a $1150 dress that is unwearable.
