New Couture

es not have the staff, or talent or organization to deliver. My sister's dress was not ready until the day of the wedding, after having Alvin keep her coming to his shop repeatedly promising she could pick it up. When I say shop, I mean home. He is so "proud" of his shoe-box home, that he loves for people to keep coming there over and over. He fabricates intricate stories as to why he hasn't delivered a finished product. Instead of just apologizing and taking the high road, he insults your intelligence with ridiculous lies. Alvin needs to really work on not only his craft, but also his social skills. Please be advised and save your money because he is also way more expensive and the quality of his work was abysmal. My mother's dress that looked like a shapeless Heafty bag (his design) unraveled on the dance floor. The threading at the hymn was nearly gone. We were mortified. I witnessed a client inform Alvin that the dress he ordered for her was not the dress she instructed him to order. Instead of saying, "Oh, I'm sorry, let me fix this", he debated her and insulted her intelligence and never once apologized. Oh, he was polite, but he still doesn't take responsibility or offer any concessions for his mistakes.
