DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND GO ANYWHERE ELSE! MY DRESS is RUINED because Elias LIED to me. We discussed how he would take in the dress and then did it the exact way I asked him NOT to do!!! I called a local bridal shop who recommended Elias. I called Elias and he said he could do the work but to come and see home ASAP so there would be enough time to do the alterations. He said it would take a week, he called me a few days later and said it was ready. Upon arrival for the fitting I discovered that he had done the alterations in the exact way I DID NOT WANT, after he agreed to take the fabric out of the back seam (where he took the measurements) he decided without even a courtesy phone call to me) to take it out of the sides. Now my DRESS IS EUINED. Bunchy, gappy, and the fabric has pulls in it. When I expressed my upset that he had not listened to my needs and wants- mind you I was willing to pay for his time and effort and had expressed in the beginning my concerns and that I DID... Read more NOT WANT him to take anything it of the sides. He agreed and then did it anyway! He did the exact thing I was afraid of and then told me I was rude for being displeased with his work, when all I wanted was for him to do it the right way (the way we discussed) the first time. Now it is less than a week before my brothers wedding and my alterations are not only incomplete but now it is even worse fitting than it was before! HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE, HORRIBLE TAILORING. It’s a shame that his is a family business, one would think i went to a hound seamstress who has never done this before. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND GO ANYWHERE ELSE! **** This in response to the note left on my review. Elias lies to me about HOW he was going to do the alterations. I am a pattern maker and und understand construction of garments. Upon my first visit for the initial fitting I made it expressly clear that I DID NOT WANT ANY DABRIC REMOVED FROM THE SIDES. When I came in for the fitting, MATERIAL HAD BEEN TAKEN OUT OF THE SIDES! when I expressed my displeasure I was told that you could undo the work and I could go elsewhere. ELIAS REFUSED TO OO THE WORK THE CORRECT WAY, LIED ABOUT IT, and with this response you are acting as if it was just a small error. That’s BS, you outright told me that you took it OUT OF THE SIDES AND DID SO WITHOUT ANY CONSIDERATION OR CONVERSATION BEFORE DOING SO. Once something is taken in, there is no way to let it out again without damaging the material. ELIAS IS A LIAR AND A CHEAT. He lied to me, he is lying to you in his response below and he will cover his ass instead of apologizing for doing poor work. You stated “you didn’t allow us to finish what we started” THAT IS GEADE A BS. The wrong alterations were done when I went in for the fitting!!!! Already wrong. Already ruined. Already to late for you to do what I asked. You had already lied to me and gone against the original fitting and alteration agreement. THERE WAS NO OFFER TO CORRECT THE WORK, AND DO IT AS IT WAS MEANT TO HE DONE. THE ONLY THING THAT HAPPENED WHEN I WENT IN FOR THE FITTING WAS A REFUSAL TO DO THE WORK, AND AN ATTACK ON ME FOR CALLING HIS ATTENTION TO THAT HE DID THE EXACT ALTERATIONS I SPECIFICALLY INDICATED NOT TO DO!!! THAT WASNT A FITTING ISSUE- it was an alterations issue. THE DRESS IS STILL RUINED!
