Lillies & Lace

i really enjoyed shopping here. I bought 2 different wedding dresses at full pop retail here because they were very helpful and seemed to really care.
However my alterations were a catastrphe.
Although the seamstress was very nice and amicable, I feel like they took every short cut possible on alterations because it was prom and wedding season and the seamstress was overwhelmed.
I had to have the bust altered 3 different times and it still didn’t fit right.
Instead of having it altered correctly they just wAnted to stuff the chest with fake boobs which were way too big for my frame.
The seamstress told me on the last alterations 2 days before we left for our destination wedding that she had thought about taking the bust in on the sides but that it took too many hours and she didn’t have time. I would have paid premium dollar to have the bust fit correctly and wish she had told me from the start that she didn’t have time to alter it correctly.
Then I would have had the option to find someone willing to do the work correctly.
Also when the hem length came in incorrectly she tried to only hem about 12″ across the front of the dress. I had to have her hem it correctly the way the dress was actually designed.
If she was going to hem it differently than how the dress was designed I feel she should have discussed it with me.
Finally I knew the dress seamed to be slightly slanted since the second alterations and on final inspection discovered that when it was taken apart to hem it partially from the top, it had been sewn back together slightly crooked.
By the grace of god my mother worked on the dress for 2 days to make it fit correctly.
You can see the alterations progression in the pictures I uploaded.
I would definitely suggest shopping here but strongly recommend you have your alterations done elsewhere.

I’ve never been successful at finding a dress in this shop, but that shouldn’t stop you from checking them out! They have cute dresses if you are small. I generally don’t have much use for formal attire, so I can say I’m always checking their store for formals. If you need a larger size, plan ahead so they can order it for you.

The dresses were hard to look at and the staff wasn’t very helpful.
