Thuy Bridal & Tailor

UPDATE: The seam of my dress was ripped apart a little on my right side! I didn’t notice until I saw the side of my dress in the restroom at my prom dance. Thank god I had emergency pins in my clutch! Extremely disappointed my dress ripped. The only reason I’m giving her ²⁄₅ instead of ¹⁄₅ because I was the one who asked for the dress to be a little tighter so I feel I should take part of the blame. However, it was because I asked her to take my dress in a little more that the zipper was aligned better, the flaps on the inside sides of my dress were sewn down, and the useless white elastic bands were taken off. In the end, I wish I had not asked her to take in my dress a little bit more. My advice is to sit and account for bloating when altering your dresses. Still had a great prom night though, I refused to let the slight wardrobe malfunction ruin my time :)

I was really let down by Thuy. :(
I dropped my bridesmaid dress off on Friday for it to be hemmed since it was a tad bit too long. I apologized and told her I was doing everything really last minute but that I needed it done soon because the wedding was next Saturday. She told me that was totally fine and that she could have it done by Thursday.
…It wasn’t totally fine.
I went in on Friday afternoon to pick up the dress and at first she couldn’t find it. Then after lifting up some things on her desk, she found it. SHE NEVER STARTED ON IT!!! «Oh my gosh, I’m so sorry! It’s because someone else had the same colored pink dress, so I thought it was that one and I did it for them.» Uh, what? Don’t you look at the receipt papers you fill out indicating when it should be done?
I seriously should have let the messy store be a big red flag, but that’s how a lot of small shops in that area are, so I wasn’t judging. I’m familiar with the area and the upkeep they have (and don’t have) with their stores. Big mistake on my part though.
She apologized more than once and said she would start on it right away and that I could get it the next day. I had my boyfriend pick it up since I was busy preparing for the wedding. He said when he got there, she had no idea what to charge him because he didn’t come with the receipt. He said $ 20, although she told me $ 25, but she ended up just charging him the $ 20 since that’s what he told her. Again, super unorganized. Why don’t you have anything written down? =(

Altered my j. crew bridesmaids dress in no time. I called at 6p on a Thursday and had it back Saturday. Great quality job and extremely reasonable price. I’ll be back for sure! Hours aren’t posted but just give her a call… she’s usually around 10a to 7p.

I have been to this place three times and not once have been dissatisfied. She is great and prices are reasonable. I live on Bainbridge island now but if I need to get something altered, I still go to her. It’s totally worth the drive cause she usually finishes it within the day while I’m running other errands!

I got my wedding dress altered here. She was really good and did everything I asked her to do. The price was cheaper than anywhere else. It looks a little bit sketchy on the outside, but she does great work!
