Perfect Fit

The shirt I initially brought in to be slimmed at the sides came out ok. It looked good when she pinned it at the initial fitting and it looked good when I tried it on before paying, but I didn’t realize how tight she actually made it because it only fits when I’m standing with my arms at my sides. I don’t wear it anymore because it is too restraining when I sit or move my arms. This is partially my fault but I feel like she should have known to make it less slim.
I also took in a peacoat recently to have the sleeves shortened. she did a fair job on that too. I think it’s half an inch too short but there’s nothing I can do about it now. I really wish it was that tiny bit longer. It was also kind of expensive ($ 34), which she claimed to be due to the straps around the wrists that had to be moved up.

I am very unhappy with this business. Typically, I do not provide such feedback, but I feel it is important under these circumstances. I took in a pair of men’s blue jeans, summer 2014, to repair the zipper for only $ 10.00. The repair was completed on-​time and I left this business very happy. Within 3 months, the zipper broke again. Once again, because I had received good service @ this business before, I had the lady repair the zipper a 2^nd time, $ 12.00. Again, the repair was completed on-​time. Last month, the zipper broke a 3^rd time and I returned to this business with a concern (were the zippers used to fix my problem defective? Was something wrong? Would I have to pay for a 3^rd repair for the same problem?). The same woman (owner? — I assume so), suddenly changed her attitude and indicated that it was something I must have done to break the zipper again and, yes, I would have to pay, again, for the 3^rd time, $ 14.00 (notice, the same zipper was repaired for $ 10, then $ 12, lastly $ 14). I asked her to be honest with me and let me know if she would prefer not to «TRY» to fix the zipper (trying to be courteous and relieve the tension); She again had a very nasty attitude, raised her voice at me and did all she could to embarrass me in front of another customer that had just walked in. She said she would fix the zipper again and that in the future I needed to be careful zipping/​unzipping and that I should try to just pull these jeans down and not use the zipper at all (the other customer became amused). She slammed the jeans down on the counter and wrote me a receipt for my up-​front cash (they only take cash; who does that in 2015?) payment and gave me a date to pick them up. When I picked them up, she did not speak except to tell me she knew who I was when I offered an explanation of the item I was picking up. Summary, I have now paid for 3 zippers, received no apology and had to deal with false accusations and embarrassment. As you will certainly understand, I will not return a 4^th time and I suggest that if you are in the market for a tailor to evaluate other options. Maybe I should just buy a new pair of jeans (LOL). I am very disappointed in the quality of repair and the bad attitude of the business. Why would a business owner blame the customer for the mistakes made? Did she honestly expect me to pull my pants down and not use the zipper?

Absolutely the best! I had a bridesmaid dress (bought from Macys for $ 25) that needed to be five inches wider. I bought a second dress to use for the extra fabric. I went to four different seamstresses and they all chastised me and the bride for getting too small a dress and either said they do not do that kind of work or that it would cost «a lot of money” — one lady quoted me $ 150, then lowered it down to $ 130 as a „favor“. That was still waaay more than I budgeted. It was a lot of work to be done since the dress was lined, had ruffles and needed to be seamless where the extra fabric went– all this was alot of work just for 5» of added fabric down the whole dress. I am so lucky I kept looking. This lady at Perfect Fit was AWESOME! She has really good English, very nice and an absolute expert! She gave me no problems about my dress, assured me it could be done (other ladies made it seem questionable), and priced the work for $ 55. Done in less than two week and it fit perfectly. She did such an awesome job extending the dress and lining– you couldnt even tell where the extra fabric was. I loved the work she did so much that I gave her an extra tip. I’ve used others seamstresses before, but I’ve never had such a great experience till I went here. Absolutely the best!
