After painstakingly reading all reviews - I chose Merys - not only because it seemed like a smaller shop that would pay closer attention to detail than some of the bigger alteration businesses, but also because of the fact that I had a very simple request. There was a gap in a very expensive romper I purchased and I requested they tighten the material to make it fit flawlessly. I would do it myself but it was a material I have never worked with before. I arrived and they took me to a fitting room, told me it would be $30. Fine. I pick it up the next week and the seams are VISIBLE where they weren't before. There is a HOLE in the stitching and they didn't even sew it in a straight line. I could have done a better job by hand myself. They didn't even fix the "gap". And now there is an ADDED gap in the front. Unreal. This is something I can't purchase again. I'm so upset at them I'm going to get my money back. Ruined a beautiful romper.
