I visited this lady several times to alter my wedding dress. She didn't pin the dress to decide how much to take in, but marked it with chalk. When I went back to collect it, I was horrified as it has been taken in far too much! 4"" total. Like many brides I had lost weight & was ligther than when I first went in (a size 4), but the dress would not do up. The lady accused me of having a different bra & that is why it wouldn't fit. Which was not the case. She asked me to remove it, then forced the dress up, so all the skin on my back was squashed & I could hardly breathe. I was on my own & couldn't see in her tiny mirror what it looked like. I was so upset I just left to try it on again at home & decide what to do. paid her nearly $100 for the terrible work & left.
