Exclusive Alterations

a very delicate bustle and they did a lot to ensure everything was safe and secure for me.

from a size 16 to a size 12. In the beginning I was a little nervous with Wendy being able to accommodate the large size gap and I felt like she wasn’t listening to me with how big it was. We were only going to have 2 dress fittings before picking it up, but we actually switched that when I expressed my concerns so we would have 3. In the end, she did a fantastic job! At my final fitting she knew I was nervous so she had me plan to be in the area all day. We started with a try on in the morning, then I left while she finished the final details, and I came back in the afternoon to try it on one last time and make sure it was perfect and it was. I couldn’t believe how well it ended up looking and fitting. She did amazing! And it was super cheap! I am from Milwaukee but bought my gown up in Green Bay and grew up in Manitowoc, so I decided to go with Exclusive Alterations and I am glad I did.

missed details (i.e. a safety bin where a loop for the bustle should be). Would still recommend!

fter my first fitting, there was a large part of the hem that was still 10 inches too long as well as the straps and bust being several sizes too large for me. I made my concerns known, saying several times to Jenny that I was worried about the bust and straps not being tight enough. Eventually, she brushed it off telling me to trust her and she made my third fitting two days before my wedding. When I asked if it could be sooner, she said it wouldn't be necessary. When I arrived for my third fitting (two days before my wedding), the dress was STILL too large in the bust and straps. One of Jenny's assistants had to go get her and it was obvious that she was already irritated. My mother-in-law, trying to make light of the situation, said "Well, maybe it's just the style of the dress..or it stretched." Jenny replied, "No, it's the women," and she kept insisting that I had lost weight......which I definitely didn't. She then transferred the cost of her mistake to me, making the alterations around 600 dollars. The fact that Jenny pouted about her mistake in front of me and my mother-in-law, blamed me for the dress not fitting and then charged me for her mistake is enough that I would recommend going elsewhere for alterations.
