Still reminding you about alterations

Earlier this week I took a phone call from a frantic mother who wanted to tell us about her horrible experience she and her bride to be daughter had with a local seamstress in regards to her wedding gown.  For about 30 minutes this lady literally cried and lamented about the seamstress who initially promised to add sleeves to her gown but actually ended up doing them the way she wanted instead of listening to the bride and following pictures provided.  The mom was calling stores in the area to warn them not to refer to this particular seamstress.  We don't refer to any outside seamstress as we have our own in store design staff.

That same day a bride who purchased from The Gallery by Lynette a couple of months prior  came in to buy a veil and headpiece.  After they left Chelsa, who works for us, came and told me that she had taken her gown to two different seamstresses and still the dress was a disaster.  I had Chelsa call the bride and she brought me her gown.  Luckily, the only real problems with the dress were that the previous seamstress had gotten it quite dirty and there was no longer any fabric to work with because she had made a bolero out of it.  A bolero that the bride had not ordered and didn't get to keep unless she paid for it.

I got this dress a week before the wedding and did the modesty fill that this bride expected all the long.  She had taken it elsewhere hoping for a lower price but instead endured two months of nightmare excuses and worry.  It was delivered 3 days before her wedding so that she could have bridal photos.

I will post photos as soon as they are available.  In the meantime be sure to visit our facebook page dedicated to modest conversions Modest Gowns by Lynette
