At
risk
of
sounding
dramatic:
beware
of
bringing
in
outside
clothing
for
alterations
at
Nordstrom.
And
also,
my
garment
was
pretty
badly
botched
at
this
location.
I'm
now
left
with
only
the
option
of
chalking
this
up
to
a
learning
experience
on
my
part,
but,
before
this
experience,
I
didn't
really
consider
how
much
the
consumer
is
on
the
hook
for
anything
that
could
go
wrong
with
an
alterations
service
and
end
up
with
no
recourse.
I've
brought
a
handful
of
clothing
items
into
this
Nordstrom
location
for
alterations
over
the
years
(some
turned
out
better
than
others),
but
I
have
never
had
an
expensive
garment
rendered
unusable
(and
honestly
looking
a
bit
hacked
together)
until
now.
Gabby
did
my
alterations
and
we
agreed
that
I
wanted
the
shoulders
taken
in
and
a
seam
added
down
the
back
to
slim
the
garment.
When
it
was
returned
to
me
(a
full
3
weeks
later),
the
entire
upper
body/neck
area
was
hacked
together
poorly,
and
now
the
neck
hole
has
become
so
small
that
I
cannot
pull
it
on
or
off
my
head
without
an
absolute
struggle
(as
in,
taking
off
my
earrings
and
yanking
it
on/off
--
goodbye
to
any
lipstick
or
makeup
that
was
on
my
face
prior
to
the
struggle).
After
it
hung
in
my
closet,
unused,
for
a
few
weeks,
and
while
it
sunk
in
that
my
garment
was
essentially
botched,
I
decided
to
take
the
garment
back
in
and
speak
with
the
alterations
manager,
Roberto.
He
informed
me
that
so
much
material
had
been
taken
off
the
garment
by
Gabby,
with
none
left
behind
for
flexibility,
that
even
he
wouldn't
be
able
to
fix
it.
The
best
that
Nordstrom
could
do
in
this
case
was
refund
my
alterations
fee,
which
they
did.
In
terms
of
recourse,
that
was
about
what
I
was
expecting
as
a
bare
minimum
really,
but,
lesson
learned,
and
I
won't
be
going
back
to
this
location
for
alterations
or
bringing
outside
merchandise
in
for
alterations
at
any
Nordstrom
again.
