I took my dress to Golden Leaf Sewing over the weekend. All I needed altered was the shoulders and under the arm.
When we walked in the place, noone greeted us. You could see the 2 workers in the back finishing up something, but neither one of them came out front to help us. After about 5-8 mins, someone asked if they could help us. I changed into my dress and she pinned it up. Really never talking during this process. After I took the dress off, she took it and wrote me an invoice for $40.
I was shocked that just that little bit of alteration would cost $40, so I told her I would wait and maybe get it done later. When really, I was taking my dress somewhere else. When I told her that, she really didn't want to give me my dress back. So, I told her again, I was going to think about it and maybe come back another day.
She then said, "Well, you took up my time pinning it, so you HAVE to pay me $5." I was like sure, I'll give you $5, but give me my dress back because I'm not paying $40 for that little bit of sewing.
She was very rude and I don't recommend this place to anyone needing a seamstress.
