Provided by YP.comAfter reading the recommendations here, i decided to take my wedding dress to be altered. I called first to ask how long it would take, and also what times they were open. The woman (can't remember her name now..) was very friendly. When i got there, there wasn't anyone else there. so she was able to help me right away. it's a very small place tucked in a tiny shopping plaza, with just one changing booth. she had me try on my dress, i tried explaining to her that i wanted my dress shortened quite a bit. i was hoping to buy a short wedding dress, but wasn't able to find one in my size. anyway, she was pretty quick after i got my dress on and stood on the pedistal for her. all i really wanted was to have the dress shortened and hemmed, and also a bustle sewn in. she recommended i shorten the sleeve area. so after i changed, she gave me a ticket with their card stapled to it. i asked her for the amount, and she said $215. She finished in exactly 7 days. she told me to pick up the dress, they were open till 6pm. i live in everett, and had to drive to edmonds after my husband got out of work. so when i arrived at 5:40p to find the store already closed.. i was a little annoyed. especially since my ticket said the pick up time was between 4-6pm. the next day i called and asked again if they were going to be open until 6p, she said yes. once again i got there around 5:30p she was the only one there. this time she didnt seem as friendly, she actually seemed a little annoyed to be there. she had my dress off to the side waiting for me. i had brought cash with me to pay for the dress, i brought $225. she told me that it was going to be $240 and some change. i asked her about 3 times "how much?" not being rude, but i couldn't understand her accent so well. i was really surprised at how much more she was charging me. i used my visa check card, since i didn't have enough cash. she ran it through twice and said it was being declined. strange.. so i went next door to the bank and withdrew $40 more. (no problem using my card there). i was so stressed out, after driving through horrible traffic (not to mention the 3 car accidents on the way), and her being rude for no reason. she didn't even bother to have me try my dress on. she used a calculator, and gave me my change. no receipt or anything. i was so.. confused by her i just wanted to leave as quick as i could. i got to my car, realized i needed gas. went to the gas station.. my debit card didnt work after that. so i thought to use the cash left over. when i pulled up to the gas station i realized that she had ripped me off. she only gave me $4 back. i was so angry at myself for letting her rip me off. i understand i should have been maybe a little more aggressive and checked my change. learned my lesson. the dress was OK. she didn't really shorten the dress much, i still tripped on it when i walked. and she didnt fix some of the seams that had started to come apart. over all, i wasnt impressed. i will stick to going to the golden thread in everett.. cheaper and more friendly.
