Recently moved into the area but already had my dress, I am so glad I found Paula. From the first appointment I felt really comfortable, she walked me through what she thought needed to be done and I had two follow up appointments to make sure the length was just right as well as discussing different options for the bust etc. Paula did an excellent job in altering the length of what was a lot of skirt and layers! She also made some great recommendations of how to get it to sit well by adding stitches, and created a bustle. I thought Paula was very reasonable in her rates and I was thrilled with the fit of the dress - perfect! Thank you! Services: Alterations, Bridal & bridesmaids, Pressing & steaming

Not impressed with the quality of customer service. Extremely rude to my mother-in-law and made an unprofessional comment about her dressing being cheap and thats what you get. Its a demeaning and uncalled for comment that left my MIL very upset. Against her better judgement she proceeded to pay for her dress and 3 bridesmaid dresses to be altered. Only 1/4 of the dresses were altered correctly, when Paula was politely contacted by my MIL she wasnt helpful or constructive and more or less told her that she should try to hold the sash on the dress straight while doing it up and that it was a necessary alteration. The amendments were needed but it was done incorrectly with one side of a dress being taken too high, the other wasnt taken up to match and all 3 of the dresses werent taken in enough around the chest and were still gaping. There was a fray on the back of my MILs dress where a button was added and overall it looks like little care was put in to the dresses, her unhelpful responses have left the bride 4 weeks before her wedding stressed, upset and having to arrange for a different seamstress to fix the issues. I try to avoid writing negative reviews however I feel this whole experience has been disappointing. The passive aggressive comments, the poor amends and the lack of customer care has left a poor taste in my mouth. I hope the right thing is done and the bride is offered a refund since she didnt get what she paid for. Service: Bridal & bridesmaids

I can not praise Paula highly enough! I rang her from the North East of England on the Monday about taking up a dress coat needed at my daughter's wedding- reception the following Saturday. She could not have been more accommodating! We delivered the coat , out of hours, on the Tuesday night, where she did the necessary fitting and collected it on the Friday, perfectly taken up and professionally hemmed! The standard of her work is excellent and her whole attitude toward us was friendly, welcoming and helpful.Her charges are extremely reasonable too. I would recommend her, without reservation, to anyone who wants an outstanding tailoring job doing by a friendly and considerate lady. Paula, thank you so much! Wendy Griffin
