Dee’s Alterations

Oh happy day, I found a good alterations place!!! I am at that point in my life where all of my friends are getting married… To date, I have been a bridesmaid in 6 weddings. –_–
After ordering my dresses, which the place made me order in the wrong size, I needed to get them altered. I drove around one day in the area, and everyone was giving me ridiculous prices and many were very rude! I finally came across Dee! This time I pulled in to the location (plenty of parking in a strip mall area), and ran in without the dress and shoes. I told her look… I need this done… I know how much it should be… what can you do?!
I was so relieved when she said «Oh please hunny, so simple, and so cheap.» She told me to come back in a couple of days for a fitting. I got there right when she opened. I had to get the length taken up and the top taken in. She quoted me a price I couldn’t believe! So I left she dress and she told me to come back in about 3 weeks. She is VERY busy!!! She also is a dress maker! I was a little nervous to return, but I was not disappointed.
Dee did an amazing job! The fit was perfect and all of the changes were seamless! She was so incredible nice, and genuine. She truly enjoys what she does. It is so refreshing to find someone who knows how to do business! Her prices are reasonable and she treats her customers so well! Much of the competition in the area is screwed because Dee truly is a hidden gem!
I do have another dress for her to alter, but she is going on vacation to Trinidad! She will be back in January! CASH OR CHECK ONLY BY THE WAY!
Thanks for everything Dee, you are amazing!!!

You know the saying always the bridesmaid and never the bride… well yes that is my daughter. She seems to be in more weddings every year. Of course the dress never ever fits and they want a small fortune to have it altered where you purchased it. So she looks on Unilocal and goes with her dress to several places in the area. Every single place quoted her $ 100 plus. What??? I could see if it was a lot of altering but it was literally the hem needed to be shortened and the bust taken in maybe an inch.
She called me disgusted and then we found the lovely Dee. From the moment we walked in she is super friendly and her prices are reasonable. She showed us some of the Sari’s that she makes, which are absolutely stunning. She is busy, very busy. Well of course she is. She does great work and charges reasonable prices. My daughter was not in a huge hurry which gave Dee several weeks to get the dress finished. As promised Dee delivered and everything was great. When my daughter went to pick the dress up she had no cash just a credit card which she found out Dee does not accept credit cards. Dee told her to bring the cash by in a few days. What???
It goes to show what kind of trusting, good hearted person Dee is. She did not know us, yet she trusted us to come back with cash. My daughter has yet another dress for another wedding that she will be taking to Dee as well. If you need alterations or want a gorgeous dress made you MUST come here. Dee is extremely busy because she does not take advantage of people, she is super friendly, and has a warm positive energy that is so beautiful.
Thank you so very much Dee!

Dee is a pleasure to work with. She is a a seamstress and dress maker from Trinidad. I needed to have an Indian sari put together for a wedding. A friend recommended her. For those of you who are not familiar with Indian clothes, a sari consists of a a top and skirt made of the same fabric with the remainder of the fabric wrapped around the body in a specific way to complete the dress. I brought the several yards of fabric and the petticoat skirt liner and she put it together. She even put pleats at the top of the skirt (such is the new style) so that it can be adjusted to any size and easy to just put right without figuring out how to wrap it. Her pricing is also very reasonable.
One of the only qualms I have about her is about her timing. She does great work and is very personable, so I feel she is worth it. She is very popular and accepts a lot of last minute customers that need tailoring (oftentimes for wedding).
So, the biggest tip I have is to check in regularly with her to make sure she is able to get your tailoring done on schedule. If you need something immediately, makes sure she knows and she will let you know if she cannot do it. Call for weekend hours, because I believe she closes early. Also, she accepts cash only.
