I hope they fix it but if not use the proper tailor: it should be a simple thing to fix for a pro. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-noes-a-mending-disaster#post-592054 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 02:00:43 +0000 Jonesy 592054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Crossing my fingers for you that this drama has a satisfactory conclusion!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-noes-a-mending-disaster#post-591997 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 00:39:56 +0000 CocoLion 591997@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope the skirts aren't ruined, but am enough of a dry cleaning tailor skeptic to know it's possible. (Painful past experience with new $250 TR jeans.)</p> <p>Do let us know the outcome. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-noes-a-mending-disaster#post-591973 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 00:15:28 +0000 Anonymous 591973@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mary I'm really sorry about this. I would take them to your usual tailor instead, rather than back to the cleaners. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-noes-a-mending-disaster#post-591952 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 23:58:55 +0000 Carole 591952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, that's unconscionable! They should make it right or reimburse you. </p> <p>I'm very leery of dry cleaners after a few bad and expensive mishaps. The last cleaners took an expensive pair of wool mens slacks and when they came back they were two sizes too small, they took no responsibility! Didn't even apologize. They insisted they don't make mistakes like that, so I guess it's more likely that my husband grew by two sizes in a week. We have not been back and I have told all my friends and neighbors about it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-noes-a-mending-disaster#post-591943 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 23:48:01 +0000 Transcona Shannon 591943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!! That's ridiculous...hopefully they can fix this properly. If not, take it to a proper tailor and see what can be done. That is a total rookie mistake. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-noes-a-mending-disaster#post-591839 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 22:20:14 +0000 krishnidoux 591839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your dry cleaner should give you free dry cleaning. This is a gross mistake that should not have been made by anyone selling their sewing services. Ask to speak to the owner about this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-noes-a-mending-disaster#post-591819 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 21:48:44 +0000 Meredith1953 591819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm amazed that any reputable drycleaner would make that error! Hope you are able to get them repaired properly. If not, they should reimburse you the cost of the skirts! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-noes-a-mending-disaster#post-591766 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 20:17:58 +0000 Kirti 591766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh no! I hope it gets fixed! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-noes-a-mending-disaster#post-591745 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 19:18:38 +0000 lyn* 591745@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh no! That sounds like an error I would make (and I got kicked out of sewing class!) - *fingers crossed* for you, MaryK! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-noes-a-mending-disaster#post-591699 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 18:08:21 +0000 ManidipaM 591699@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Silly people! Fingers crossed they get it right this time, once and for all! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-noes-a-mending-disaster#post-591688 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 17:55:05 +0000 rae 591688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wha?? Stitching the lining to the top seems like such a rookie error. I really hope they fix it and comp you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-noes-a-mending-disaster#post-591685 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 17:50:15 +0000 Amy 591685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good grief. That sucks. I can't believe that passed QC.</p> <p>I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they'll fix it for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-noes-a-mending-disaster#post-591660 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 17:37:33 +0000 Sylvie 591660@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>MaryK, I'm sure this can be fixed. Seams are *really* easy to rip out, as you know from personal experience. No cutting involved, so just rip the bad seam and sew in a new one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-noes-a-mending-disaster#post-591657 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 17:36:21 +0000 Scarlet 591657@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I am sure they can be fixed, but if someone was careless enough to do that, I might look for someone else to fix it, just to preserve my favorite skirt. I recently ripped the seam of my pencil skirt like that by pulling it over my hips. Sigh. I can get it fixed though and will also get the seam opened up permanently a little higher. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-noes-a-mending-disaster#post-591642 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 17:23:49 +0000 christieanne 591642@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh no! Fingers crossed that all can be repaired (properly!) and the skirts back on the WIW trail. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-noes-a-mending-disaster#post-591639 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 17:20:33 +0000 modgrl 591639@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh noes!! Not the turquoise skirt!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-noes-a-mending-disaster#post-591635 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 17:18:14 +0000 morethanbeige 591635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>MK, I have GOT to believe they will fix that! No panic yet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-noes-a-mending-disaster#post-591634 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 17:18:02 +0000 Parsley 591634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yikes! They should know better than that!<br /> I would think that it would be easy enough to fix, though. The skirts shouldn't be ruined.<br /> Crossing my fingers for you... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-noes-a-mending-disaster#post-591631 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 17:15:10 +0000 MsMary 591631@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Somehow I managed to rip the seam at the top of the kick pleat in my yellow raisin and turquoise Halogen seamed pencil skirts, so I asked the dry cleaner to mend the seam when I took them to be cleaned.</p> <p>Tried on the turquoise one this morning and OH NOES!! She stitched the lining to the outside layer of the skirt and now it doesn't fall right at all!! I took both skirts back in this morning to be fixed but I am utterly devastated and terrified that they are ruined for good!</p> <p>*sob*</p> <p>I guess the lesson here is don't trust even the seemingly simplest repairs to anybody but a really good tailor. </p>
