I can not even express the horror of arriving with my daughter to pick up her wedding dress and Sa Judes had completely botched the simple alteration. We did not buy the dress from them but took it to them to alter thinking we needed a professional to take in 1/2 an inch the charge for the alteration was $300.00 The stitching was akin to that of a grade nine sewing class.

We had been for two fittings and the work had not been completed but we were assured that it would be done. . .it wasn't. The end result was we had to leave with the dress since, we had no choice it was the day before her wedding. I sat at my dining room table with shaking hands attempting to repair a beautiful dress that had been perfect but was no longer after this alteration. As well there was blood on the dress where the so called seamstress had pricked a finger and bled all over the inner layers.

These people have literally ruined hundreds of wedding gowns and simply can not sew. They display the dresses beautifully and it's easy to be sucked into the wolf in sheep's clothing way of Rose. . . but after she has your money she does not care at all about what happens to it. As the mother of the bride it was all I could do to hold in my utter frustration at this impossible stubborn, thoughtless woman and this situation. We were completely at her mercy with no way out since it was too close to the day. Save yourself grief and do not ever consider going with this business. We had looked at their web site and the many positive reviews that I am now convinced they write themselves. We have since researched them in depth and have found hundreds of sad despicable reviews about their dishonest business practices.

There are two men who greet you at the door and take the bride up to a bedroom to change into her gown. I thought that was very creepy from the start. These men have criminal records according to the Toronto star article of May 2010 we have since learned. I don't know how this woman can sleep at night knowing that she has stolen money from young people and families in her very neighbourhood
