    BJ is very thorough, honest, and good at what she does. My dress fit like a glove on my wedding day. She even helped resolve my large breasted issues and ordered special cups she sewed into my dress. Fairly priced compared to many wedding dress alternation places too. Thanks BJ!!

    BJ is an alterations hero. If you are looking for a perfectly honest, expert seamstress, look no further than "A Better Fit." I bought my wedding dress over a year before the wedding. When it came time to get it hemmed, I was worried it wouldn't fit me as well as it had when I bought it. My family and friends were very supportive, but I wanted a pair of honest, unbiased eyes on the situation. I consulted with BJ 3 months before my wedding, she was candid about how much weight I would need to lose for the dress to fit me the way I wanted. When I went back for my last fitting, the dress fit like a glove, and BJ hemmed it perfectly. Long enough to look elegant in photos, but short enough to dance easily. I cannot thank her enough for her genuine guidance and talent. I will be going back to BJ for all my future alteration needs!

    The stretchy dress that needed hemmed- fit PERFECT.

    BJ is the absolute best seamstress ever!!! I came to her just a few weeks before my wedding with not one, but TWO dresses, and to add just another challenge to the mix- would be 21 weeks pregnant at my wedding! She did a ridiculously magical job tailoring my fitted non-stretch dress to perfectly fit my baby bump and giant boobs (see photo) and when I threw in the reception dress last minute that needed to be hemmed she miraculously somehow got that done too! She is a sweet kind person and makes standing on that platform staying perfectly still as easy as can be - she really gets people and is a master at her craft. I am so grateful!!

    BJ was honest from the very beginning of my experience with altering my dress, which I couldn't appreciate more! I had only 2 months till my wedding when I came to her with a dress I bought off the rack that was probably 3-4 sizes bigger than it should have been. She told me time wasn't the issue it was the dress shape, since the back was so open we couldn't quite take it in around the ribs or abdomen, but shaping other places made the dress sit on my hips nicely. She shaped around the bottom area to give me more curves. Her seamstress did beautiful work with the hem, even considering having to deal with embroidered lace. The bustle was secure, but otherwise unnoticeable ! With BJ's honesty and fine attention to detail and meticulous work my dress could have not fit me better! It truly made me the bride I could only have imagined to be on my big day :) and brought my now husband to tears for the first time in the 7 years we've been together !!

    I brought BJ a consignment wedding dress and what at first seemed like it would be an easy fit quickly turned into a puzzle of strange prior alterations and mismatched sizing. BJ handled each obstacle incredibly and the dress fit perfectly on my wedding day! She is honest and direct about feasibility, pricing, and timing, and her flexibility with scheduling around my difficult work hours and untimely vacation was crucial in order to get the dress done before the wedding. Her work is immaculate and I'm so grateful that she accepted the challenge of my second-hand dress!

    Original hem, before her work.

    BJ helped take a thrift shop wedding dress that was 4 sizes too big and make it my dream dress! 10/10 would recommend, she is awesome!

    Really wonderful service and expert craftsmanship. I was in a hurry and so she squeezed me in. It was worth the expedited fee.

    How much for pants and jeans' alteration?

    It starts at 22 for pants, or jeans if it's a pretty straightforward hemming. If it needs to be altered more, the cost will be more.
