I've gone to Kim twice now and every time I am very impressed with her professionalism and the service she provides. Last Christmas, she was able to alter a jump suit within a few hours so I could wear it that night. Just last week, she altered a few other outfits my trip this week. I'm 5ft and she has helped me look my best! Highly recommend her service. read more

A One Hour Alterations - Altered jump suit - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Houston, Texas

I was very disappointed with my experience. I brought in five pairs of pants to have the waist taken in and allowed an entire week for the alterations to be completed. Unfortunately, when I returned, not a single pair was finished. To make matters worse, I was charged $189.00 for the service. I understand that delays can happen, but there was no communication regarding the work not being completed, and the overall experience was extremely frustrating. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend this business. If you're looking for reliable tailoring services, I would highly recommend LT Tailor in Meyerland. They do quality work, complete it on time, and get it right the first time. Unfortunately, this experience did not meet my expectations. read more

This is my go-to place when I need something altered. Especially when I need something in a hurry. I mostly get my pants/dresses hemmed or taken in when I come here. Haven't had any complaints. It's about $15-20 to get pants hemmed, more if you're getting taken in. She can even get you a turn around two days if needed sometimes! read more

They saved the day for us on an urgent item. They fixed a custom hairpiece for our daughter for her competition. Not an easy job. Amazing service!! Thank you! read more

She's very good but the pricing goes up every single time I go there. I have to find a new place.

Took my dress in to get it fitted. I asked to pick it up the next day, I wasn't in a rush. It fits perfect now. The stitching could have been the same stitch pattern as the original, but I'm sure next time I can just ask for that. It was 34$ or something. read more

The owner did not give good customer service. She is the person who handled took the dress and handled my concern. I provided her my shirt dress size (4) which needed to be lengthened only. I removed the original hemline from the size 4 dress in order to cut down on time and cost. Another identical dress size (6) I also provided them so that the bottom section could be cut off and sewed onto the smaller dress. When I went back to pick it up the dress it had a weird look to the bottom hemline area. It was longer but not a comfy shirt dress anymore. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand they messed up. The owner blamed me for not trying it on. If you're keeping the look just adding a piece of fabric from a dress thats identical except for size. I don't need to try it in. My concern was why cut & sew the larger (6) bottom piece onto the smaller piece (4) and make it 1/2 " smaller ?! I didn't ask for it to be sized down. They cut the (6) smaller than the (4) which required further adjustments to the pocket and hip area of the size (4). Then to add insult to injury demanded I pay extra to fix their error. I DID PAY THE EXTRA . I DONT RECOMMEND !! read more

Fast, affordable, and friendly. Wonderful job on my gown. The seamstress is very friendly and she's done my other gown before which was impeccable. read more

Needed the arm openings of a dress to be widened. She called this dropping the arms and she did a great job! The dress was mesh with a ton of embroidery and not easy to match to any other fabric. I was in no rush and asked to have it back within a week. It was done two days early. Not sure of the rush pricing to have something done within the hour but I recommend dropping things off earlier if possible. read more

My only complaint is that they're so busy. But that's only because they're excellent. She will do the best she can to get close to that hour promise and if you don't need it in an hr please give them more time. Great value for their services. Juggling multiple customers and I've seen everything from Surgical garment, suits, coats to fur come in. read more

Owner is rude does not great customers and I was charged a ridiculous amount to hem a dress and the hem was not done well at all. I would not recommend. read more

Brought in suit in the morning - came back in the afternoon - looked great! Thanks for the great customer service/ value

I needed to get two dresses hemmed two days before leaving town for a wedding. They were quick, affordable, very nice and did an amazing job! I couldn't even tell that they were hemmed. The dresses looked seamless as if they hadn't even been altered. Thank you! read more

Bought a tuxedo that fit okay but not great, so I decided to tailor it to fit perfectly. I was very careful about picking a tailor because I wanted this handled well. A trusted friend recommended this place. It had pretty good reviews, so I decided to go for it! First of all the woman who runs this place is famous for being fast with her alterations. I have to agree with that statement. I gave her the tux, and she had it ready within a few days. The sleeves needed a little more altering, so I left it with her again. She had them ready in two more days. I wasn't in a huge rush, so I felt that the service was definitely quick. I was happy with the finished product. The tux fit well everywhere, and I wore it proudly. The only downside was the price. This was the first time I've had a tux tailored, so I'm not sure what the going rate is. However, I felt that it was a little too pricey based on the small amount of alterations that were needed. Also I was charged for the additional changes to the sleeves, but I feel that should have been included in the original cost. Overall, this is a good place to make alterations to your clothing. read more

I recently inherited a coat that belonged to my great grandfather, which is amazing! I'm a smaller guy, so it was pretty big on me and I needed to get alterations done to make it fit. I took it to one tailor and he pretty much laughed me out of his shop. He wasn't laughing exactly, but I could tell there was no way he thought it was possible to make the alterations I needed, since he kept saying stuff like: "Look at how big the sleeves are," "you might as well spend the money to buy a new coat," etc. I took it to A One Hour Alterations for a second opinion because they had done work for me before (I live further away now). For A One Hour Alterations, altering the coat was no problem at all. Within ten minutes, they measured me, pinned the coat, and sent me on my way. A week later I got it back and it looked great! What seemed like a challenge for others is no challenge for A One Hour Alterations. Definitely recommend! read more

Drove 20 minutes here and she told me $10 on the phone then when I got there she said she didn't understand that I wanted a curtain sewed and as she was looking she started entering my information then said ohhhh it's gonna be $20 and just tried to have me use a service without charging me what we agreed on. Before driving here make sure you explain VERY detailed what you want.. its definitely not one hour alterations and not reasonably priced. read more

She's good! I took a more modern pair of pants that I had just bought and use those as a pattern and then was able to convert several of my older suits into the more slimed down style of what guys are wearing today. Saved me a ton vs having to go buy newer updated style suits. read more

Needed to alter some uniform skirts and found this place close by. After calling around their prices were reasonable and the fact that I could get the skirt back within one hour was a bonus. Place is very unassuming and the front desk employee was very nice. They altered exactly to my desired length. I would definitely go back. read more

Kim is the best in the business quick professional great work and good pricing You can trust her for all your alterations as I do read more

Poor Craftsmanship. I came to get my dress length shortened. Within one wear, the seams came apart.

I took in 2 pair of jeans to have the waist taken in and they ruined them! I cannot believe what a bad job they did. It should have been a very simple alteration! Beware! read more

This place will ALWAYS AND FOREVER be my alteration shop. My daughter had a cheer competition and the two top pieces of her uniform completely disappeared from our home, couldn't find it anywhere, only the skirt and undershorts. After placing this info in our group chat, one of the moms, of a girl who had left the team, said I could have her daughter's. Her daughter is in 5th, normal weight snd height, my daughter is in 2nd grade, and very petite. The uniform would have to literally be cut in half. I brought in the two cheer tops to Kim, plus my daughter's original skirt because it had always been too big anyway. It was 3 days before the next competition and I would not be able to bring my daughter in for a fitting. I gave Kim one of my daughter's dresses for the preferred bodice fit of the cheer top, an old uniform skirt for the preferred skirt fit, and a pajama top for the half undershirt fit (which I realized I not only forgot to include in the bag, but also gave her a short-sleeved example instead of a long-sleeved one. This is where Kim's expertise came in. With NO ARM LENGTH MEASUREMENTS, she still was able to perfectly guess my daughter's length. And because I had forgot the top, it pushed back the time she could start in it. She finally had everything by Thursday morning and I needed it by Friday evening. Competition was early Saturday morning. I called on Friday from work around 2:00 and Kim said she had not started and the pajama top needed to be long-sleeve so she could see how long/short the shell needed to be. I began to panic. I had to go to my daughter's parent preview that evening at 5:00, and then attend a New Edition concert with my husband at 7. The shop closes at 6:30. I explained this in my panic and she said don't worry I will have it done by then. She called me an hour later and said I could pick it up! The uniform fit perfect! They are the absolute best here!!! No need to look further. read more

Great service, experienced, professional & efficient w fast turnaround at amazing price... what more do you want?

I took a bridesmaids dress here to get altered in November. I needed the top let out and the bottom hemmed. They said it would be no problem at all. When I picked it up to try on, it didn't have a claps on it, and the top was not let out. They had only hemmed it. I told her I could come back and get the dress but it would not fit without being let out. She said she could fix it right then by putting a big claps on the back. Low and behold it didn't end up fitting right and fell down the whole time I was at the wedding. She charged me the same price even though they didn't do what I had wanted and argued with me about it. Getting a hem and a new claps wasn't worth $70, let me tell you. read more

I came here to get my bridesmaid dress taken since it was huge on me . The seamstress got my measurements wrong and I could not even wear the dress. She made it so small read more

Reliable and reasonable! Decided to give this place a try after reading all the good reviews and I was not disappointed! $12 for pant hem, ready in two days. This will be my go to place for alterations from now on. read more

I was able to get my romper hemmed & picked up the same day. Price was about $17. Good enough for me!

I always go here for tailoring my pants or shirts, it's a great place with great service

Went here to get alterations for a bridesmaid dress. I had two weeks, so I told them that I did not need it done right away-- although they said they could do it within one hour. I mostly needed the dress to be taken out (Ok yes I like to eat), and shortened a little; because I want to enjoy myself with short heels not stilettos AMIRIGHT? They have 2 dressing rooms to change in, which was fine with me. I was waiting on a girl getting her wedding dress altered (always a good sign). I got my dress back in a great amount of time and it was 30 dollars (practical in my opinion). I'd go back again, and I'd recommend this place to others. The hemming looks clean and the dress which was (somewhat cheap to begin with), looked like it was made for me. This is a great place in a rather expensive area, which is hard to find. read more

I just picked up 3 skirts that needed to be tailored. The work done was terrible. The skirts didn't fit right. Their solution to the bad job was to move the button over but it bunched up the skirt... I do not recommend this place. I don't think they know what they are doing. Disappointed for sure. read more

Gone here to have everything from work pants to formal dresses altered. Great quality, reasonable turn around, and very friendly owners.

I have two dapper looking sweaters that I absolutely love that were too baggy on me. I am a slim guy and I wanted the sweaters to fit my frame better. So I brought both sweaters to One Hour Alteration, and they worked their sewing magic. The end result was I wound up with two sweaters that fit me perfectly, and it is impossible to tell that my sweaters were cut and sewn back together.Excellent work, reasonable pricing and nice customer service by Kim, who was very friendly and accommodating. I will definitely return back to this business for all of my future alteration needs. read more

I tried this lady a second time because first time was okay and she did an awesome job on my formal dress alterations!

Great work! Great people! They were honest with how I should tailor my clothes and didn't upsell me on anything (brought in 3 suit jackets I thought could use tailoring but he told me they looked good and altering wouldn't be worth it based on price to do the work) would recommend read more
