**Item review**
[Critique] Any item that has had an alteration has poor stitching where the alterations were made (make sure to check yours). My items ranged from AUD $95 per top and $659 black dress. For the price of these items it hurts a little to see the alterations so crudely done. **Update: I got my hotel to contact the shop and Lucy had the items fixed within the hour (see photos). My items now look like the price I paid.
[Positive]
-The fabric feels good and items are lined nicely. I've given the stitching a stretch and firm tug and it's held well. Only items that have been altered the stitching is poor and falls apart (**this how now been fixed and is good). Unsure how they will wear/ wash but looks fine!
- there are spare buttons incase any fall off.
- with my pants, Lucy ironed them to show how they should look. This was a nice touch.
- I have 2 corset ribbons for my dress, I'm truly greatful for the options of silk ribbon or material string.
- All items have been hemmed nicely
[What you need to know]
• Have at least 3 days minimum for items to be made, and altered
• don't rush the process, check your items and make sure alterations are completed
• before receiving your item look over one last time
• get your hotel or go direct to discuss anything that needs to be fixed
[Store Experience] From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed warmly. They provided cold water and the shop is comfortably air conditioned. Lucy was my shop tailor for this experience. Lucy is very talented and made great suggestions for fabric types to use. For my clothes she had them lined and chose matching coloured buttons (I didn't even need to ask for this. It was just done). My clothes were on the expensive side, and they don't lower the cost. My first fitting went well and for my second the changes/alterations were done (I saw some negative reviews saying they were not changed, but I can confidently say mine have been). **However please refer to negative about alterations**. Lucy was very attentive to my needs, even going as far as doing things for me I didn't even think to ask for. She was upbeat and fun to work with.
Overall, I cannot say much about the longevity of the items as I've not worn nor washed them multiple times- but will update my review once I have.
