In October 2009 I commissioned Judi of The Seamstress to make my wedding gown. I bought my own lace fabric and she assured me she could make the gown just like the picture I showed her. Not only did she not make the gown like the picture, but she made a gown with crooked seams, an exposed zipper and an array of other problems (included changes I did not approve). I expressed my concerns time and again over the six months it took her to make my dress. She told me two weeks before my wedding that it was ""too late"" to fix the dress.
I literally had to have my dress re-built by another woman (thereby proving it was not too late, she just refused to do the work). She also refused to provide me any compensation and charged me a full $1800.00 for the dress (not including the $900 I spent on the lace).
Judi has no mirror in her shop so that you can see the back of your dress. I noticed several ADDITIONAL problems after taking my dress elsewhere when I could finally see the back! I implore you, do not hire this woman. Spend less for better work elsewhere.
Pros: N/A
Cons: Rude staff, lack of skill, inadequate set-up
