AVOID this business!

I bought a bridesmaids dress online a little over a month before the wedding. The waist and hips fit perfect, but the bust was about 2.5 inches too tight. I took the dress to the local seamstress. We discussed how she would alter it by taking a little length off the bottom and inserting small triangles under the armpits. Even though I brought the dress to her well in advance, she kept the dress until two days before I had to leave for the wedding. When I came to pick it up, she had inserted two triangles on either side of the zipper in the back. It was an alarmingly obvious quick fix, but I didn't have to time argue (the wedding was just around the corner) and then she told me it would cost my $115. Never before that moment had she mentioned she would charge me $55 per hour! I felt violated by the cost of such shoddy work, but also had to have the dress for the wedding. After some debate, she finally agreed to reimburse me $50. She told me she would put the check in mail. After a month and no sign of the check, I called her again. She said she would put the check in the mail the next day. I waited two weeks, and still no check. I called again after two weeks and she tells me that she has changed her mind. She refuses to reimburse me for the $50 we agreed upon. YUCK
