  Milly C. wrote: My sister used SeamsRite to have her Maid of Honour dress altered and the results have been devastating. The only way I can describe it is as the Sweeney Todd of dress alterations. The dress has come back with rips and tears shoddily patched up, not only that but the alterations on the bodice have already come undone, the dress is actually two inches too short and has picked up some odd yellowing stains. It is now 5 days before my wedding and I am sat at my own sewing machine desperately trying to fix the damage that has been done to this £200 dress. My sister is distraught and while I should be excited for my wedding day I am tearing my hair out at my sewing machine. I have never been more shocked or disappointed. I would recommend that no one entrust their precious items of clothing to this company.

  Anthony P. asked:

  Hello all. Are there any seamstresses/tailors/dress makers that'd be interested in discussing a possible training plan with me? I need to learn a very particular aspect of this trade. Also, a number of future employees would need to learn this also, either by myself or you (for a price of course). Cheers :)
