We also asked sleeves to be hemmed. It was a mesh nude netting. She folded it over and sewed it right up to be darker on the underside so it doesn't match the rest of the sleeve and looks awful.
As I posted yesterday, our experience there was horrible.
Our experience was truly terrible. I expected professional work when we paid the price we did. We didn't get that.
We asked to be given the excess fabric and have it saved. We were not given any saved fabric.
The hemline on the dress we brought in is just horrible. The top two layers, mesh, are cut crooked. The bottom two layers are hemmed neatly but they are not what we asked for. The back is hemmed longer in a circle and the front is straight. We just wanted the hem to be even all the way around. Now the back is a good six inches too long and the prom dress will require heels that are so tall they don't exist except on street corners. The mesh on the outer layer is crooked and looks awful.
The only alterations place I know of in the area. They do a good job.
I've dealt with this shop for many years & they have sewn hems in bluejeans, put zippers in jackets and much more. They do quality work & I wouldn't go anywhere else. Work is done in a timely manner.
We went to this store because of so many positive reviews online. I see now that these comments are skewed in the stores favor by making sure poor reviews don't stay online.
They did a great job shortening 2 pairs of dress pants and charged a fair price, $10 each. They even offered to shorten them in a way that would not show any stitches to help them look more classy. I was very happy with the quality of work and service. Also, as it would make sense, they asked me to pay only after they were done, I tried them on, and I was happy with the pants.
Suddenly my post has disappeared which I also find interesting... I actually had come back to Google to edit what I typed and found the whole thing deleted. Now I have to wonder how many other poor experiences have somehow vanished in, what appears, to be a new listing for the same store.
After 2 formal gown alterations I couldn't be happier. The alterations are well done and completed in a timely manner.
