Beware. This company either has a dishonest salesperson or is a dishonest business. I chose My Daughters Wedding III in Englewood, NJ because the reviews said it was a little pricey, but very reliable. Initially, I brought two dresses to get tailored. One needed straps shortened and skirt hemmed, the other needed shoulder pads removed. None of these is actually very complicated. AFTER everything was pinned and whisked away, I was quoted six hundred fifty dollars. I was SHOCKED at the price tag, but I told myself seamstresses needed to make living, too? The girl at the front desk told me paying with credit card would incur a three point five percent surcharge, which was WILD on top of six hundred fifty dollars. Because my bank was only two blocks away, I withdrew the cash and handed it to her, getting a receipt for my records. When I needed another outfit tailored for the same weekend, I figured I would keep things simple and bring it to the same place. My bad. I was again quoted six hundred fifty dollars (the job was a little more complicated this time, so I felt a little better about the exorbitant price?). After I handed over the cash a second time, the girl at the front desk printed my account with them, to date. My charge of six hundred fifty was listed, BUT THE PREVIOUS CHARGE HAD BEEN RETROACTIVELY CHANGED to four hundred dollars. Red flag. She had entered it accurately in the system the first time (I still had the receipt), so she must have gone back in and changed it. When I came back a week later for a follow-up fitting, I asked for another printout of my account, wondering whether the MORE RECENT charge had now ALSO been changed. But the girl behind the front desk was too slippery for me. Before she printed, she ASKED ME TO REMIND HER how much I had paid the week before. Why would she need to be reminded of this? Because SHE NO LONGER HAD THE CORRECT AMOUNT LISTED. What this tells me is that EITHER THIS GIRL IS THE NEXT ANNA DELVEY, pocketing two hundred fifty dollars from each of my payments, OR SHE WAS HIDING THAT MONEY ON BEHALF OF THE STORE?
I really liked the seamstress I worked with. She was sweet and capable. But THE GIRL BEHIND THE DESK STOLE five hundred dollars FROM ME.

I just picked up my dress from my daughters wedding. The dress was beautiful and the service was good. I just had one major problem, how do you charge someone $600.00 for alterations on a $600.00 dress. I was never quoted this price. I agreed to $335.00. When i go back and they are making adjustment, they keep adding $$$$ without your knowing it. I have to say I am disappointed because I never knew about the add on cost. . I could have had a dress made from scratch for that price. I am sorry to say that even though the place was nice, and so were the people, they mislead you. At this point I had no choice, the wedding is in a week. Shop here but be very careful about the alterations charges.
