DO NOT BRING YOUR CLOTHES HERE IF YOU CARE ABOUT THEM. This is by far the worst tailor I have ever been to.
I brought in a beautiful pink satin gown and needed a few minor alterations: shorten the train to be the same length as the front, take it in at the waist and chest, and close the slit in the front a few inches.
First off they charged me $108 dollars for all of that. When I went in to pick up the dress I tried it on and it was 2 inches off the floor?!? WHAT THE HECK??? My floor length gown was sowing my ankles! This was problematic. They looked really annoyed but said that they could fix it. OK, COOL. I waited another week (they couldn't do it sooner and I told them when I had to have/wear it) and went back to pick it up. Again, I tried the dress on. They took the material from the train and added a WAISTBAND to drop the skirt down. This changes The entire dress. It breaks the beautiful seam that runs from the top across the bodess and then drops down to open up to a slit at the knee. They also changed the way that the back of the dress draped open... no more drape. NOT ONLY did it change the entire dress, but they didn't put a backing behind the waistband so you can see through it. I freaked out. They tried to convince me that the dress "is good like that". After insisting that it's not and you can SEE MY BELLYBUTTON, they said they would fix it and I could pick it up in a few days. PROBLEM! I have to leave TOMORROW to go to MY COUSIN'S WEDDING where I'm a BRIDESMAID. (Yup, this is my bridesmaid dress that is now completely unrecognizable.) They made a fuss about it, but I got them to do it the same day and stay open 20 minutes late for me to pick it up. OK, 3rd time's a charm! I try it on again, DISASTER!!! Every seam that they touched were now puckered, it was a 1/2 inch shorter all the way around, it now fell off of my shoulders (how, I don't know?!) and it was covered in BLUE PEN MARKS all over the stomach. They took one last stab at it and promised to get the marks off.
After waiting for them to fix the dress for the 4th time, they bring the dress out and it has disgusting YELLOW WATER MARKS all over it. It looked like they took a dirty sponge to the dress to get the pen out. They then tell me that I owe them ANOTHER $108 for the additional work. ARE YOU CRAZY?!?! The additional work was fixing their own mistakes! So I said NO. She then says, OK LET'S CALL IT $80. NOPE!!! She looked confused. I repeated again, the extra work was your fault because you couldn't do your job the first time, I GRABBED MY DRESS AND WALKED OUT. It is currently at the Dry Cleaners (which I had to pay an arm and a leg to in order for them to wash overnight) in hopes of getting the dirty water spots off.
My $300 (before paying for alterations) Satin Gown now looks like something I found on the sale rack of Forever 21. IT IS ILL FITTING, THE SEAMS AREN'T STRAIGHT & DON'T LAY FLAT, IT'S TOO SHORT, WON'T STAY ON MY SHOULDERS, AND DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THE SAME DRESS AT ALL.
