  Went here because they were recommended to me by the bridal salon where I bought my wedding dress. I have to say I am disappointed. I went based on the recommendation as the last thing you want to do is take a gamble with your wedding dress, however they weren't willing to work with my schedule (I was coming in from out of town) which is fine I adjusted my schedule for them and took off work to come in.
  
  I brought in another dress to have the zipper fixed which I brought in with my wedding dress. I paid for it and said I would pick it up at my second fitting. It was not done and they had no clue what they were doing with it. It was ready by my final wedding dress fitting and seems to have been done fine.
  
  My wedding dress was the main problem. I had them attach a belt which we discussed at length where I wanted it (slightly above my waist). They could not seem to get it at the appropriate spot or attach it in a straight line all the way around so on my final fitting I waited 30-45 minutes while they re-attached it while I waited even though we had discussed it at length at my previous fitting. They also argued with me about this and had done exactly the opposite of what I had asked (lowered it instead of raising it). They argued with me about the straightness. Still wasn't straight on my wedding day, but nothing that ruined the day.
  
  Finally, they did a poor job hemming the dress. My mother is a seamstress, but does not alter wedding dresses. She informed me that they shortened the under layer more than the outer layer so the under layer of the dress pulled on the outer layer making a puckered look to the bottom of the dress. Again, nothing that ruined my wedding, but for the price I paid for my dress to be altered I would expect much higher quality.
