Joy Alterations

I’m from out of town and I just needed a quick fix for a wedding the following day. Gave her a call and asked if she could hem my bridesmaid dress tomorrow and she did not hesitate to say yes and told me to come in now. I came and she told me to come back in a few hours and it would be ready. This woman was a life saver and her place of work was very clean and professional. She was so cordial!!! Thank you times ten joy, you’re awesome at what you do!

She was the only tailor open on Saturday in the whole destin/​FWB/​Niceville area which was Easter weekend. Had to have a pair of pants hemmed for an interview with a deadline. She lacks pleasantries, but clearly is hard working. Cash only FYI.

I never thought I would pay someone $ 190 to destroy my $ 2,000 designer wedding dress but that is exactly what happened when I toook my dress to Joy Alterations. The heavily embroidered and beaded dress needed to be hemmed and on top of being very expensive she did a horrible job. The dress had a sheer overlayer and a satin underlayer. She hemmed the underlayer without being asked or given permission. That she made too short and you could see my feet when I walked. The sheer outerlayer with the embroidery looked terrible. She hacked off the bottom and sloppily attached it higher up, leaving the layer underneath. The tulle was jagged and there was an obvious line of stiches. She also did a bustle that did not look very pretty. The satin buttons she used on it were grubby looking and looked like they had pen marks on them. The dress looked so bad. I think I could have done a better job myself. Anything I tried to address with her she would say «that’s okay.» It is obvious that she had no respect for the property of others or the fact that she ruined my dream wedding dress. I just hope someone reads this and is saved having their dress destroyed.
