Alterations By Laura

She ruined my dress, and didn't reimburse me for the cost of the alteration. She didn't even reimburse me for the full cost of the dress, and I ended up having to buy a new one and have it sent to me from New York. My sleeves were cut five inches shorter than requested, and were stiff. more

She RUINED my dress. She didn't even reimburse me for the cost of the alteration, and only for part of the cost of the dress. I ended up having to buy another dress, which I had to have sent to me from New York. Awful alteration, extremely rude when confronted, and blamed her seamstress for the mistake rather than her lack of communication as a boss. more

#\r User Rating: 2 out of 5 stars\r by S.W.\r 12/27/2008\r \r My alteration was done in a timely, friendly manner. However, the dress didn't turn out very well. It was a bridesmaid dress that was shortened and taken out a bit in the bust. The bust was okay - still a little tight, but better than before. The hem of my dress was pretty sloppy, though. The whole reason I had it altered by a professional instead of doing it at home was because the style of the dress had a flared skirt. It just looked funny, and the stitching was uneven - not terrible, but enough to make the end turn up in a weird way. I think $55 was far too much to charge for this amateur-like job. I feel like she (assuming Laura is the one who does all the work) didn't put any thought into it, since it was an easy job. more

i have been going to laura for years for any custom jobs. she is great!! very friendly, listens to what you want, and she has great ideas. I believe she has been doing work for more than 25 years more
