Did they measure you, or was it already marked?

I've got stubby arms - nearly every shirt I buy I have to get the arms shortened 2" (16.5"x33"). I took them a batch of 4 new shirts, and they just butchered all of them. You're supposed to cut the cuff placket, shorten, and sew a new one. They basically flipped the cuff over, cut, and sewed it back - so that 2nd button that's normally about 4 inches up the sleeve was right next to the cuff, and nothing matched up.

I took them a suit from Dillards with the chalk marks, and they insisted on remeasuring me themselves. I wonder if past errors has changed their policy?

My MiL uses them for her stuff, so my botched shirts were probably an anomaly, and the person responsible has likely been sent back to Vietnam.
