If it were up to me she would get no stars. She called me last week and said my dress was done. I set up a time the next day and she didn’t show up. I tried to call and all I’ve gotten is the answering machine. She hasn’t called me back and I need the dress by this Saturday for my daughters wedding!! I hate to half to do it but I’m gonna have to buy another one!!!!

Karen is so talented and professional. She has done many alterations for us in the past and they were always top notch. She has also made custom costumes for my children and custom bridal and formal gowns for me. She is so knowledgeable about fabrics and she knows what she is capable of. I really hate to see negative reviewers post their garbage to damage someone’s professional reputation. I guess that a person should not expect much when they buy a $99 wedding dress from China. You get what you pay for. The quality of the fabric and lace must have been poor. She has been a miracle worker for me and I will continue to refer her to everyone that needs alterations.

I didn’t actually use her sewing experience to make a dress for me but she did give me her expert advice to help with a problem I was having on a sewing project of my own. She was very helpful and very pleasant!

Came in needing alterations for a bridesmaid dress with only a week before the wedding and she had them done they day before I asked for it to be ready! She took the time for me to try on the dress and pin it at different lengths because I wasn’t sure which shoes I was going to be wearing to the reception. Overall a very pleasant experience and extremely reasonably priced.

Karen did an amazing job hemming my bridesmaid dress! I came to her very last minute to get my dress altered. Im very poor with time management and came to her with less than a week until the wedding. She got the dress done in one day! I was very satisfied with how quickly she got it done and how well she did! They were super friendly here and very reasonably priced. Will definitely be going back!

I took my wedding dress to Karen in January and asked if it could be made into a first communion dress for my 8 year old daughter. We talked about what I wanted and what I didn’t want. I picked up the dress today and it’s more beautiful than I ever could’ve imagined. She was wonderful to work with...and so reasonably priced. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anybody. She has a true talent!!

Karen is amazing at her job. I really dont understand why any of you guys would give her 1 star at all. She is awesome at her job and yes she does now what she is doing. Were else can you get amazing prices like her. I give her 5 stars Because the place is very nice and very family friendly to. So I would stop complaing about her work and keep going to my girl bridal.

Great place. Completely custom made my wifes dress. Other places wouldnt even try. Im not sure what happened with the other people. You cant turn a 99 dollar used dress into a 4000 dollar gown for 50 dollars.

I had my wedding dress altered at My Girl and Karen was fantastic. She was so knowledgeable about fabrics and helpful with ideas with things I couldnt decide. I will be using My Girl in the future for all of my alterations... thats how great my experience was!!! 😁

DO NOT go to this place...the shop was one of the worst experiences I have ever had with alterations...it took her 6 appointments because she had no idea on what she was doing to fix the gown...she would set up appointments and then not show, and then would need to be called, she was rude and very unreliable...we went to pick the dress up and she had a man there who threaten to take the dress if we didnt pay (we had planned on paying) we wanted to discuss the problems that we had, but again he threaten us with taking the dress and calling the police...No apologies, No Discounts just threats...lesson learned if it sounds to good to be true...Save yourself a lot of aggravation and find a good shop

DO NOT go to this woman for alterations. Initially, talking to her on the phone sounded too good to be true, and unfortunately, I had to find out the hard way that it was. I went to her for alterations to by wedding gown.Ill go into excruciating detail, but the moral of the story is, if I could give her less than 1 star, I would. She was unprofessional, unreliable, and quite frankly not very good at her job.During the first visit, she seemed very nice and quickly fixed a few layers that needed fixed under the gown. She was then going to fix the bust and straps prior to our next visit. During our next visit, the straps were WAY too short and the dress was all crunched up in the back... clearly needed fixed which she then charged us for (thought it was her mistake).During our 3rd visit, she told me she could get a veil for me at a less expensive price, so I put $40 down on a veil and she ordered it and also was going to work on the hem of my dress prior to our next visit. The dress was still not even close to being right after 3 visits.During our 4th visit, she said that she could not get the right colored veil in, and she told me that I needed to get a veil somewhere else (with only 2 months until my wedding). The bust was still way too big, but finally the length of the dress was at least right. She said for the next visit, she would fix the bust and also complete the bustle.... Yet again... another visit.During the FIFTH visit, the bustle was completed with BLACK HOOKS on my beautiful ivory dress. She thought that the black hooks would blend in better than white ones.... She was clearly very wrong and once again, another visit needed scheduled.During our 6th visit, my mother and I finally decided that it was time no matter how the dress looked or fit to take the dress out of her shop and take it elsewhere to finish the alterations and get it steamed with only about 1 month until my wedding left and still worry that the dress was probably not right after SIX visits.Not to mention, the first time we showed up for our appointment, she forgot about the appointment, and we had to call her to remind her. Out of the next 5 visits, she was late for 4 out of the 5 (as in wasnt even on the way until we called her and told her we were sitting at her shop), and then was upset with us when she had to come in at a different time. The worst part is, these appointments were all scheduled weeks in advance.She is incredibly rude, unprofessional, and also not a very good price for her work. She did my hem, bustle, bust, and attached a belt to my dress and charged me $300. She also tried to tell me that I didnt give her the $40 check for the veil that I never got and acted like she was doing me a favor taking that portion off of my final bill.My mother and I asked her if she would consider taking a small percentage off of the cost since she had greatly inconvenienced us MANY times, and at that, she called in a male friend to make sure things didnt get out of hand at which time they threatened to take back MY WEDDING DRESS! She clearly expected us to be upset after 6 visits since she had him on stand-bye. They then threatened to call the cops if we did not pay in full.... We regretfully paid her and took my dress elsewhere to be fixed.Needless to say... SAVE YOURSELF THE HEADACHE/MONEY/TIME!And just for the heads up... the reviews from the Walls are her friends and family. I hope my review can even save a few brides from her shop.
