I'm very happy with my experiences with Altered States Alterations.
I was a bridesmaid, and the bride asked that I order my dress from an online retailer in China. The retailer sent me two dresses, both of which had a problem with the mesh lining. I took both dresses to Altered States, and Darlene was very honest with me, stating that she would have to deconstruct both dresses in order to do what the bride was envisioning with the mesh lining. Darlene instead encouraged me to talk with the retailer again since I had plenty of time before the wedding. I appreciated that Darlene was fair and didn't simply take the dresses from me for the money. On a side note, I found out from the bride that I didn't need alterations to either dress.
Darlene altered another dress of mine that was too wide in the waist, and she did that with a quick one-week turnaround for just $20. The dress now fits me well and looks great.
Darlene has also fixed the pocket lining in my favorite jacket.
I'd absolutely recommend Altered States Alterations.
