    Engagement suit altered by Walla Alterations
    Nicole L.

    Best tailor around! We took the suit my husband wore for our engagement photos to then and liked their work so much that I brought my wedding dress to them for final adjustments. We will be customers for life.

    She is amazing!! I had been going to Walla for my regular alterations for the past 2 years so it was a no-brainer when it came to getting my wedding dress altered. Not only did she do an amazing job custom fitting my mermaid-style dress to my body shape but she created a completely custom design sleeve for my dress! I purchased a strapless wedding dress and wanted a nice, off-the-shoulder "princess" style sleeve. Walla created it completely on her own and made my dream dress come true! I would absolutely recommend her!

    I was referred to Walla by my godmother and was told that she had a lot of experience working with wedding dresses. Walla seemed very kind and professional, and for the record she did a good job on the other 3 regular dresses we brought in for the rehearsal dinner and my nieces rehearsal dinner and flower girl dress. She also altered my wedding dress and 2 weeks later I came back for my fitting and the dress did not fit. She had taken it in too much and had to let it out. She also told me the dress couldn't be bustled. I came back the following week and tried the dress on after she let it out. I was in a hurry and tired the dress on quickly as she had another customer waiting. I was so relieved that the dress zipped up that I didn't realize she had cut into the material on the right side of the dress to alter it and the bust was lopsided. She made a large cut in the bodice of the dress, she did not open it up at the seam. I tried it on again that weekend when I went veil shopping and noticed that the bust part was lopsided and bulging out on one side and couldn't figure out what was wrong. I called around to other seamstresses in town to have them take a look and see if they could bustle the dress. She opened up the dress and was horrified at how the dress was altered. She had cut into it and then used the lace flowers from the straps I had her remove to cover up the cuts inside the dress. The new seamstress did the best she could to repair the dress and said I really should have ordered a new one but with two weeks away from the wedding and the dress no longer in stock, I had no choice but to try to make it work. I called Walla about a week before the wedding and let her know what I discovered, she insisted that I bring the dress back to her to fix it and I refused as it was already being fixed at the other seamstress and was at the other shop still. I didn't want Walla messing the dress up further. If she could fix it, it would have been done correctly the first time. Walla finally agreed on the phone after a lot of arguing to reimburse me for the new seamstress charges and I told her that when I picked up the dress I would text her my address and the amount and even offered a receipt. She said she didn't need a receipt and would reimburse whatever it was. The other seamstress had no problem adding a bustle. She also noticed that the zipper was broken from forcing it closed and dirty. She had to add extra boning in the bust to try to even out the bulge. She also had two other wedding gowns she was fixing from Walla. I sent Walla the amount a few weeks ago and have been trying to follow up by calling her cell with no answer. I called the shop several times with no answer. Then finally today I called from a friend's phone to the shop and she answered right away. She is now refusing to pay with all sorts of arguments and excuses. Going back to the original excuse that I should have brought the dress back to her to fix and it has been too long now after the alterations were done. I now have to take her to small claims court to recover the costs. The dress is ruined, I had hoped to resale the dress but the bust is still not as it should be. I would say for a simple alteration Walla would do a great job but she should not be altering wedding dresses. This added so much unnecessary stress and cost in the weeks leading up to the wedding. My fiance actually wanted me to wait until after the wedding to confront Walla because I was so sad about the whole thing but didn't want it looming over my head. We have given her every opportunity to make this situation right, but she is incredibly argumentative even after seeing the pictures, knowing she hacked up my dress. It seems like it should be common sense to use the seams of the dress to alter it and also make sure you do it evenly on both sides. It should have been a red flag when she said the dress could not be bustled but she had already begun the alterations.

    Quick, professional and nice. She's my "go to" for any alterations. Make the choice and let's keep that business going.

    I was referred to Primo Alterations by a friend who had her wedding dress altered here a few years…read moreago. Just picked up two formal dresses that needed alterations and they now both fit like a glove! One needed to be let out and the other needed the straps shortened. Lua altered both dresses and is sweet, personable, and talented. She finished both dresses well before their expected date. Carolina and Joseph, the owners are friendly and you can tell why their business has been around for awhile. I had my wedding dress consultation with Isis. She was very sweet, you can tell she has an eye for detail. I can't wait to come back in August for my wedding dress alterations. Will provide an update then! The seamstresses are upfront about their prices during your consultation, so there aren't any surprises. Their prices are well worth the quality of work they do.

    I cannot recommend Primo Alterations & Dry Cleaning enough! They did an absolutely incredible job…read moreon my wedding dress. The attention to detail was beyond anything I could have imagined, and they truly made my dress fit like a dream. Every single person on their staff was so kind, welcoming, and professional throughout the entire process. They made me feel comfortable and confident every time I came in, which meant so much during such a special (and sometimes stressful!) time. Their work is truly worth every penny. If you're looking for someone you can trust with something as important as your wedding dress, this is the place. 5 stars all the way!
