After reading and hearing such rave reviews about Fariba I was excited to bring a silk gown to be altered in hopes that I had indeed found a magic seamstress who I could take my wedding dress to. I'm glad I brought a gown and not a wedding dres...s for my first appointment with Fariba. I would not recommend this business, the alterations made were acceptable but no better than any other seamstress and cheap materials were used for snaps and fasteners which I'm sure will need to be replaced after a couple of wears. Fariba is a very nice woman and so was her assistant, but the person I had to interface with the most during my appointments was like. astonishingly unkind. I thought maybe this woman had mistook me for someone she deeply loathed. It made the whole experience awkward and uncomfortable and when I went to pick up the dress and noticed they had not made one of the alterations I had requested I was really frazzled and panicked and she only made me feel worse and stupid. I didn't think I was going to get to take the dress home with me but Fariba was able to make the alteration that had been missed in under an hour. However, I was so upset and flustered (and really didn't think I was going to be able to wear this gown to the event I had bought it for) that I didn't do a good job helping Fariba make the measurements to make the adjustments and now its too tight to wear. It's silk and unforgiving, there is also now a snag and run in the patterned silk that wasn't there when I brought it. I would definitely not recommend silk gowns be altered here. Fariba is a really nice lady and the work was acceptable. It would have been fine and I wouldn't have been compelled to write a review but it was really expensive, the mean lady made it really hard to enjoy the experience, and when I noticed the missing alteration she immediately blamed me, even though when she was checking me out after my first appointment I had specifically asked if this small adjustment had made it on to the list. She assured me Fariba had it, which she didn't and is fine, but I really did try to say to this woman "it looks like one adjustment is missing from that list, can you confirm with Fariba" and she didn't and then blamed me for not telling Fariba. It was just the weirdest experience and I'm going to have to take this dress to a different seamstress to fix the last minute alteration. I'm surprised reviews are as glowing as they are and felt compelled to share my experience.
