Dottie is amazing!! She did the alterations for my wedding dress. I called her on a Saturday and told her that I was getting married on next Sunday. She said that she could do it and would do it and get it to me by Friday, but I needed to come now!! I went in for the fitting ; however I went to David's Bridal 2 days later and fell in love with another dress. I was hesitate to call Dottie to tell her, but she was understanding, very nice, fitted me again and got my dress back to me on Friday!! It fit perfect!! Did I say that Dottie is amazingly Fabulous!! Go to her, you won't be disappointed

Short recap: Dottie is great and I would highly recommend her for a dress alteration. Long version: I got screwed over with the store I bought my wedding dress from. Long story short, they ordered the wrong size and it was too small on me (I literally couldn't breathe when it was zipped) they told me I signed a contract and they had all their bases covered and that they were blaming it on me gaining weight. Basically they made this bride feel fat in her wedding dress, the last thing I wanted. So because of that I kept putting off getting it altered because I just didn't want to feel fat in what was supposed to be my favorite dress. Finally I went to a place to get it altered. They told me it would be $250 just to hem the bottom and didn't quote me on how much it would be to alter around my ribs to have it fit because they wanted to change it in a way that would change my favorite part of the dress. So I went to another store. They told me they could alter around my ribs in a way that wouldn't change the look and hem it but for $600!! I cried after going to both places and, again, felt fat in my wedding dress. Desperate, a friend posted on a RO fb page asking for suggestions of places to get alterations. Of all the suggestions, Peggendott, came up the most so I went there, now with only a month until the wedding. I was skeptical at first but Dottie did an amazing job! She hemmed it how I asked, altered around the ribs without changing the design (seriously I couldn't see her changes at all), and fixed my mother's veil so I could wear it (making it even better than I expected!). She was a lifesaver. I LOVED my dress and was so comfortable in it the whole night! The best part though, She only charged $250 for everything and worked on my tight schedule. I would highly recommend getting any dress alterations you need from Dottie.

I've been going to Dottie since high school for all of my dress alterations. She's amazing with detail! I recently brought my wedding gown to her to have it hemmed and wanted to add a custom detachable sleeve to match it, she understood my vision perfectly and created the most beautiful sleeves!

She is amazing! I needed a dress to be made out of my mother's Wedding dress and she came through. I can't wait to see it! Way cheaper than buying a new dress or going to any other place to get it done. I am so blessed to have found Dottie within this crazy time with the pandemic going on.

The absolute BEST tailor I have worked with !!! I went to 3 tailors who quoted me a much higher price, and who also did a terrible job with planning on how to bustle my wedding dress and I refused to ruin my dress the way they wanted to change it. She did an amazing job, went above and beyond all my expectations. And on top of that she is incredibly sweet and thoughtful.

She seemed to be a Great Seamstress for the Non-Colored Folk. I went to her on two separate occasions, both had some reason that she could not service me. But not before giving me a price over $1200 for a pant suit design. WTH? She didn't Want MY business. Cash is Cash!

Dot altered my wedding gown and also made a beautiful veil from scratch that matched it perfectly! My dress was pretty unique and had a lot of layers so I knew it was going to be tricky but wow! Dot did a fantastic job! I also loved coming in for fittings because Dot & I got along so well. She is a real sweetheart and has a passion for her trade. 5 stars all around!!!

This was a horrible experience. Although I dropped my wedding dress (cocktail length and no layers or tulle, etc.) during the second week of April to be hemmed, she continually told me she wasn't sure it would be done by the Saturday before my wedding date at the end of June! My daughter's dress needed to be made for the wedding as well. She assured us that it would be simply. When I finally insisted on a date for a first fitting for her on the evening of June 6th, I was dismayed to find Dottie sitting with the fabric in her lap in pieces. She told us that we would have to wait a minute - or five. When I finally insisted that we have an appointment with her on June 13th for a fitting for myself and my daughter, she told me that was too soon, but if I insisted, she would "Do this at YOUR convenience, Jennifer." She promptly hung up. When I went to retrieve the fabric and my dress that evening, she refused to hand over my daughter's dress. She finally relented and shoved the pieces of fabric into a bag for me. She also gave me my dress and proclaimed, "Look, it is done!" When I tried it on at home, she had simply cut the bottom of the dress off, albeit, in a semi-neat line. She tried to charge me $30 for the 'hem', but I had already given her a deposit of $150. The shop is a mess with fabric and pins everywhere. Additionally, there are at least two garbage cans overflowing with tissues, etc. Perhaps Dottie was wonderful in her heyday, but I would not recommend her to anyone...most certainly not to anyone who wants their wedding garments any time prior to her guaranteed time of "before the music starts."
