I bought my wedding gown here, but was very unhappy with the initial alterations/which really was robbery considering the dress fit worse than the initial first fitting with the seamstress Luz Lopez. The seamstress lives in Bellevue and has extremely limited availability. The time between my first fitting for alterations and the 2nd was an entire month. I paid $155 basically to get the dress out of the hands of the seamstress who also added a hideous bustle. My first post-alterations fitting was a nightmare. They had me get fitted in the prom area rather than the private bridal suite. The seamstress who did the alterations speaks no English. The girl who sold me my gown/"bridal consultant" Alisha was nowhere to be found when I was trying on the dress. When I did put the gown on, It was still too big, as if no adjustments to the areas that initially were ordered to be brought in were made at all. The dress kept slipping down off of my bust, while the seamstress stood there looking puzzled, unable to communicate any suggestions or possible solutions. The other three employees present stood and stared, looking equally puzzled which is NOT comforting when you are trying on your wedding dress just 3 weeks before your wedding. Finally, the owner Lonnie intervened, offering interpreting with the seamstress Luz Lopez and a possible solution of adding straps to a strapless gown (If I wanted a gown with straps, I wouldn't have ordered a strapless gown). Lonnie was very understanding when the day following that fitting I decided to intercept the dress from the seamstress making any more alterations because I felt more comfortable having Romashka where I ordered all bridesmaid/mother of the bride dresses finishing the alterations. As soon as the seamstress at Romashka took a look at the dress, they could see that the "bra" I had paid to have sewn in was done incorrectly with the wrong type of material and at the wrong angle
