Perfect Alterations

Blind seamstress with little sewing ability!

Yani hemmed a few pairs of pants for me and she was fast, did a good job, her price was very reasonable, and a pleasant person. I was so pleased that I referred her to friends and family and searched my closet for more clothes that I hadn't worn because they needed alterations so she could fix them.

My previous enjoyable experience with Perfect Alterations all changed after I brought a V cut dress to her. She added fabric to the center of it so that it was not revealing. When I picked it up, at first glance it looked fine, (she didn't ask me to try it on) but when I put it on for my engagement portrait session the next day, it was obviously crooked by about 1/2 inch. It was so obvious that I asked the photographer to not photograph me straight on and ended up changing into other outfits for the rest of the session. I moved 2 hours away shortly after that. Several months later when I was back in town, I took the dress to her so she could fix it. I also brought another pair of pants for her to hem. She was defensive toward me and refused to admit that she sewed it crooked. She blamed me for waiting too long, (it shouldn't matter,) washing the dress, (which I didn't do,) my body being crooked, (it’s not,) my straps needing to be adjusted, (they were perfectly symmetrical) I was too picky, (I’m not)…whatever she could come up with to divert the blame from herself. Everyone that I have shown the dress to sees that it is obviously sewn crooked. I was not mad. I just wanted her to make the material straight so I could wear it. She refused to admit it’s crooked, or fix it, and would not hem my pants, either. She claimed my pants were too stretchy and that they could not be hemmed. The pants are 60% poly, 35% rayon, and only 5% spandex. If I'm not mistaken, this is a normal material blend and should be able to be hemmed. Since she can't sew straight, won't fix her mistakes, & can't hem dress pants, I don't recommend her.
