Review update:
I called into Olmira’s regarding my dress situation and they offered to do another alteration. I declined since they have already worked on my dress twice with no improvement except the hem line. They did give me a full refund of both alterations. I have upped my review to 2.5 stars. I would still recommend them for simple alterations, leave the fancy garments to the professionals.
Original review:
I have been to Olmira’s a few times in the past, all for bridesmaid dresses. In the past I only needed to get my dresses hemmed and they did a great job in a timely fashion for a reasonable price.
This time I needed to get a bridesmaid dress taken in and hemmed. My experience was not the same, unfortunately. My dress had to be altered twice, I was charged both times - even though the second alteration was to do things the seamstress said would be done the first time.
My dress is now extremely tight in the bust and waist (when it was originally much too large), there are frayed edges showing in numerous places, and the inside of the dress has an unfinished seam, leaving a big hole.
The seamstress complained both times about my dress having pleats, and instead of saying that she wasn’t comfortable altering it and referring me elsewhere, she altered it making some very noticeable mistakes at a ridiculous price.
I will not recommend Olmira’s any longer unless it is for a simple alteration.
