I went into Katie's Formal Wear last summer because I was ordering a bridesmaid dress and they carried the same brand. Even though I didn't order it from her becuase the bride was paying for them in Colorado, she measured me and helped me pick the correct size. I of course still had to get it tailored (most dresses need it)...so I took it into Katie's and she quoted me a price of $30 to bring in the sides, and said it would be ready in a week. She told me to bring my shoes in when I picked it up to make sure it was the right length. My dress was ready in a week and fit perfectly. Most other bridesmaids paid between $75 and $200 to tailor their dress, so I think I lucked out finding the right place to go. She was so helpful...I will definetely go back and recommend anyone goes there.
Pros: Easy tailoring, reasonable price

The owner of Katie's bridal stated that she could alter the dress that I had bought from her, turns out that the dress was unwearable and she stated that there was nothing she could do, and then asked I knew how to sew!! I had to take the dress elsewhere where it was altered so it could be worn. Katie's indifference to allowing me to leave the store with an unwearable dress was so unprofessional, and there are many other stores to choose from. So, avoid this store!!
Cons: unprofessional, indifferent attitude towards customers

The service at this store was very disappointing. My 15 year old daughter who wears a size 6 was told to help her do the alterations by losing 3 pounds. I was appalled. When we returned, the dress was way too big, so we had to have it altered again. Throughout it all, my daughter remained the same weight and Katie kept telling her to either lose or not lose weight. I think it is never appropriate to tell a 15 year old to lose weight. I would not recommend this store.
Cons: Alterations were so poorly done the dresses had to be taken elsewhere.
