I took a dress to Vanessa for hemming and the result was very disappointing. The issue isn't just…read morethe finished length of the dress, but the quality of the workmanship. The dress opens in the front, and the two sides are now different lengths. She requested a deposit to purchase matching blue thread, but instead sewed the hem with a contrasting yellow color. In several places, the stitches deviated from the hem, leaving spaces where the hem was unsecured. I appreciate that she did the job so quickly, but her work will have to be redone by someone else.

I still had another garment with them and when i went to pick it up i just didn't have the damaged garment with me. I never refused, he's lying. I said i needed to understand the process and what they would do (I'm nervous about it getting further damage) but he kept repeating that i refused to bring it back which never was the case. When i spoke to him he referred to using other chemicals to determine the cause of the issue and I'm not necessarily keen on them doing stuff i don't understand at this point. He wanted to overtalk me and not listen. Thats why i don't feel comfortable anymore. Why wouldn't i bring it back if that's how i get made whole? He's not making sense. I feel completely let down by these guys after using them exclusively for at least 4 years. They didn't call me back for 2 weeks after damaging a very expensive garment, insinuated that I'm making it up, and accused me of refusing to bring it back. I would've had no problem doing so had i understood the process/remedy but i don't really want them messing up my stuff even more. When talking to Brett about my apprehensions , he was very dismissive and unprofessional. He even stopped listening and it turned into a confrontation bc he would laugh at me while I'm talking as if my situation is funny. I don't feel comfortable working with him/them anymore. Since he said he doesn't care about my review, here it is.

Tailor-man Sunder was not only pleasant over the telephone as he happily offered quotes of his…read moreaffordable alterations rates but he also took a look at my recently purchased suit free-of-charge to see if there was enough material for him to let it out. With my being blessed with a lean-muscular six-foot-five physique, I require my suits to be in a "42 Long" in order to fit correctly. However, the "slim fit" suit that I recently purchased online arrived a bit too short in the arms and legs. After taking my measurements (like all legit tailors must do), conversing in-detail about how I prefer my suits to fit me before checking both the extra material within my jacket's cuffs and inseam within the pants legs, Sunder advised me to return this particular suit at question and order the next size up to give him the extra necessary material needed in order to alter it perfectly. I'm already looking forward to indulging in his tailoring talents in the near future due to the mere facts that he already comes highly recommended by other Yelpers, plus how helpful and kind he remained with me both over the phone and in-person. Unlike that rude amateur of a businessman (Angelo Custom Tailoring), Sunder remained a trustworthy, quintessential professional whom I definitely will exclusively bring my designer suits to for alterations.

Occasionally he has told us that our requested alteration will not work. He is patient, and explained why (taking up some bargain pants seat would put the pockets too close together, etc.) That's why we trust him. He will not turn out something that doesn't make you look good! He made a tuxedo for our Son to get married in. Our Son was very pleased, and received many compliments on it. Mr. Sunder's prices are reasonable. A bargain for the quality that you receive. He custom makes, and alters, clothing for men and women. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

I told her the absolute horror story I had been through, with the dry cleaner up on Reynolda Rd, and how I had been back to that business 4 times trying to get them to sew the flags on RIGHT. I told her that I had already spent $150, and that I was so sick of the other business that I was willing to just pay her for the whole job, regardless of what I had paid the other people, just to get the job done right. She took in the work, and when I went to pick it up, not only was it done RIGHT...but she refused to charge me a penny! She said she could see the jacket was important to me, and that I had been through enough (with the other people). Man, I went home, gathered everything I had ever THOUGHT about mending, altering or having sewn, and came back with my arms FULL of work I could pay her to do. Amy is just a awesome person!
