| - BEWARE BRIDES! Horrible alterations experience.
Took my wedding dress here for alterations with 7 weeks before my wedding. Julia talks a big talk, but produces very little; on 2 occasions she cancelled on me without calling (she waited till I drove 1 hour through rush hour traffic, with my mother and bridesmaids). And 3 other times (I swear to God) I arrived for my appointment to try on the "finished"dress and she wasn't even there - she forgot (and the dress was in it's unaltered state still)! THREE DAYS before my wedding, the dress was no where near ready. It was a humiliating experience to be turned away and forgotten so many times and even more so when she forced me to try on the poorly altered (and unfinished) dress one last time in a manipulative plea to have me leave it with her so she could redeem herself (again, 3 days to go). In tears, I offered to pay her just so she would give me my dress back and she refused saying that she wouldn't accept payment since she didn't finish the job - I got my dress back.
The next alterations place was a dream! They had to re-open all of the seams because the way Julia had altered it, I could not sit down without splitting the dress, it was uncomfortable and looked terrible. FInally I was having a positive experience with my dress! Until Julia struck again. She found out where I brought my dress from one of my bridesmaids who went to pick up her dress (also in need of a 'double' alteration, it didn't fit). Julia called my new alterations place and had the nerve to tell them that I hadn't paid her! In short, I paid Julia $200 for wasting my time, my gas, and for a stressful and negative wedding experience - but mostly so I could write this review and not feel that I'm being unreasonable. Worst experience ever. Dirty store, rude women, poor time management and horrendous alterations.
