Customer Service Not Aligned with High-End Brand
I ordered an Alemais dress at full price—an expensive purchase, as you would expect from the brand. It arrived beautifully packaged, and I loved the dress, but the straps needed a small alteration.
When I took it to a seamstress, she immediately noticed a flaw in the construction: the lining was too tight in one area, causing the outer fabric to pull and gather. Given the price point and reputation of the brand, she suggested I contact Alemais, assuming their customer service would want to address it.
I took photos while I was at the seamstress—the straps happened to be pinned in the photos because we were determining the alteration—and sent them to Alemais. Their response was that because the straps had been pinned, they would not allow me to return or exchange the dress.
I was genuinely surprised. The issue had nothing to do with the straps or any alteration; it was a flaw in the dress itself. And frankly, I would certainly hope that a high-end brand would not intend to resell a flawed $900 dress to another customer. I explained this, but received no further response.
Unfortunately, what should have been a very positive experience with a beautiful dress was overshadowed by extremely disappointing customer service. Given both the price point and the way the issue was handled, I would not recommend Alemais.
