Went to Mon Amie in April to look at dresses. Happened to be a trunk show and the sales person, Selavi, said you get 10% off and get custom measured by the designer, Sarah Houston, to have a custom fit gown. I liked one of her gowns and since I'm a small person, I knew having a custom fit gown was the way to go. So, the designer took a ton of measurements (should to should, should to apax, apax to apax, etc.). Went in to try on the dress and was EXTREMELY disappointed!! The bodice of the dress looked 2-3 sizes too big!! It looked like Sarah didn't take into account any of the measurements. So, we contacted Sarah and Mon Amie. Mon Amie called my mom and was extremely rude on the phone and said that we signed the contract and have to pay for alterations. Sarah said that there's no such thing as a custom gown without doing a muslin pattern and several fittings! MON AMIE TOTALLY MISREPRESENTED THIS TO US BY SAYING IT WOULD BE A CUSTOM FIT!! So, we took the dress to an independent tailor and she was shocked the dress came out this way taking that many measurements. She would have to undo the beading, take the bodice completely apart and redo the beading. This is ridiculous! This wasn't the first time. I should've known better. For my cousins wedding we got our bridesmaid dresses there. They measured me and told me I was a size 8. I'm a size 0 normally. I disputed this and they ordered me a 6. Of course it was still too big. None of the dresses fit anyone. Mon Amie orders them big on purpose so that they get money doing alterations. On top of that, they try to sell you stuff while they are altering your dress. This place is a scam. They have nice sales people to make you think you're getting good service and then they completely screw up your order. I do not recommend going here!! Even our tailor says they fix a ton of their orders! UPDATE: my dad talked to a different person and they are fixing the dress for free BUT we shouldn't have had to go through all this trouble.
