I have gone to this alteration business for a couple of years and I have never been as disappointed as I am. My dress does not even look like it was hemmed and that's the only alteration I needed done. I was still tripping on the front of the dress but the back was shorter. It was also not ironed and there were random stains all over my dress. I just bought this dress. I wasted $110 for a simple hemming, definitely overpriced. I recommend going to another alteration place. read more

Hasib helped me with a rush for a sport coat. He did not want to charge me for the work. I was thankful and paid for the work. Thanks, Hasib! read more

I had paid $300 for 10 zippers to be installed onto some stuffed animals. The zipper quality and the actual sewing quality was very poor. The first time I went to use the zipper one of the stop stitches came loose, 3 of the zippers broke, and one of the stitch lines was poorly sewn. read more

I had such a great experience getting my wedding dress altered here! The staff was very helpful and gave me great advice on what adjustments would look best for my dress. They also did the alterations for my daughter's dresses, and everything turned out beautifully. While the prices are on the higher side, the quality of work and attention to detail are absolutely worth it. Highly recommend! read more

I can't say enough about the customer service at this place. I needed a dress hemmed the same day for an event that evening, it had an asymmetrical hemline. It was not an easy job. They not only did it the same day, but they ironed the dress so it would be ready on time. They went out of their way to exceed expectations, and the work was done beautifully. I'm extremely grateful. I highly recommend this place. They take great care of their customers. read more

3 family members were all working there and saw me when I brought in ONE pair of pants to hem length. Went into dressing room and put pants on so he could measure the length, the whole bit. Charged me $18 up front. I did lose receipt, but he had already told me I just needed to have I.D. to pick up pants. They couldn't find the pants. They said they hung all clothes up by customer name and didn't see it. They apparently don't even have their copy if receipt or some record of it on computer or something$! Then, as I looked in car for receipt, they all came out, saying "we're closed." They kept the money, saying they would call me IF they found the pants. They never did. Yes, I lost receipt, but they remembered me, especially the guy who measured the pants, collected the money, gave me the receipt, and told me I didn't need it. They could have at least offered to hem another pair at no cost as a good faith gesture since I lost both the $18 I paid them, but also the $40 pair of Levi's. I have 10 more pair I took to alterations place at McClintock and Southern N. E. corner who didn't even charge me upfront. So, don't go here, but if you do, put your receipt in your wallet or purse! read more

Prices are unreasonable. Charged me $28 to shorten a t shirt. Used to be half that last year. Not worth going there.

I took my wedding dress here and they did an amazing job! Only took 4-5 weeks, and it looks perfect. Will be back for other alterations

This used to be my go-to tailor for hemming. Since it has switched ownership, two of the three pairs of pants I have taken in for hemming have come undone within one wearing. read more

Our son needed some patches sewn on as well as uniform pants hemmed. The items were ready when promised (on shorter notice and even during prom season!) and done correctly. The pants were actually hemmed too short (not their fault, we had incorrect guidance at first) but they fixed them without issue same day. read more

I had a denim jacket recut and 3 pairs of jeans tailored. I appreciate the quality of tailoring and professionalism of the tailor. Thank you! read more

Got my wedding dress altered here and I couldn't have been happier!! Quick turnaround and reasonable pricing. Small dressing room and not your typical "bridal alteration place" but got the job done and left happy! read more

I had a very great experience with Stitch in Time. I brought them the fabric of a dress I was going to trash. They saved the fabric and restored an awesome plitted skirt for me. I definitely recommend this place. I have been going for years. They have new owners. They did a great job. I will return for sure! read more

Last year I ordered a quilt for a king sized bed. It was way too big but we thought we could live with it. After a year of so much fabric I took my quilt to A Stitch in Time and had it altered! I hoped that I had marked and measured it appropriately..and after 2 weeks - perfection!!!! They did such a good job that now I'm scouring my closets looking for additional items to be altered! Great little shop, good prices..excellent work!!! read more

I booked online for a "30 minute free consultation" (which is a service I noticed they took away since I visited 3 days ago). When I got there, one of the ladies had me try on my dress and was nowhere to be seen when I needed help putting it on. The dressing rooms are insanely small for a wedding dress and it was very hot in there. When I finally got my dress on, she came and asked me what I would like done. She started pinning things and kept asking what I would like done. After about 45 minutes, she said "be right back" and came back with a marker. She said "I'm going to mark up some things, but it'll come out when I wash it". I stopped her and I said I was only in for a quote and consultation, which is what I booked for! She said "I wish you would've asked sooner, but that's okay". Of course I didn't know to ask since I figured she's the professional and she knows what I booked for! She quoted me an arm and a leg. I'm glad I stopped her before she marked up my dress. I was very very upset with the service here. She also said if I go anywhere else, they won't do a good job. She even insulted the woman who sold me the dress by saying that they don't know what they're talking about when I told her what I would to like have done based on what the woman at the dress shop told me. If you are coming to get a quote, make sure you mention that you only want a quote. I didn't think I needed to say that, but make sure you do! read more

Took my son's stuffed animal for repair. Looks good as new! Fair price and reasonable timeline. Would highly recommend

High quality work! I've taken two things to them so far, and both have turned out great.

This is my second time coming to this place and I really love the great work that they do. The pricing's is amazing and the customer service is the best in all of Phoenix. This time I brought 7 pants. Last time I brought 3 dress shirt and 4 pants. read more

They were able to fix my wedding dress under 3 weeks out from my wedding. It looks and fits so perfect.

I brought my wedding dress to them, for a hem and to slightly adjust the sleeves. They charged $400- there were 7 layers to hem. But they didn't need to do anything other than cut them, was a mesh fabric so didn't need any sewing on that part. The one thing I asked was to keep the extra fabric (it's a pearl mesh, so I was going to make flower girl bows out of it.) and they told me they would keep it for me. It was there for almost a month, would've been ready the 30th and I picked it up on the 29th. I called them and they said it's been ready but never told me. They told me that they get rid of the extra fabric after a couple weeks. Gave me two tiny pieces of the extra, not enough to do anything with. (Which they had to dig around for, they didn't save anything) after telling me they would save it. They made the sleeves too tight, but I don't want to let them touch my dress anymore. Overall, the hemming is good, the sleeves are something I'm going to have to figure out. It's frustrating that they were so unorganized and didn't listen, when it was so expensive. If you go to them- they will do a good job but beware they won't follow instruction. Just don't bring a wedding dress there, or anything too sentimental. It was NOT a cheap dress, and I really love my dress so I'm going to make it work, even though they made it so the sleeves won't fit. read more

This is my go to spot for alterations. I have posted before and after pictures from my bridesmaid dress a few years back and my wedding dress!! They did an AMAZING job on my dress. I was so obsessed with the back and felt that the front was a little frumpy and now the front is insanely sexy with a back to match. I honestly couldn'tbe happier!!! read more

Great service. Tailoring is going to be a lost art. And it really is an art. Got a seam let out on some drapes to make them a couple inches longer. Excellent job. Highly recommend. read more

It is hard to find a great seamstress for emergencies. A Stitch in Time, really delivers! I would use them again and recommend them! I needed a child's pair of dress pants hemmed for an occasion that was days away. They had it done a day in advance. I was so grateful. read more

I highly recommend A Stitch In Time. I needed my daughter's flower girl dress altered and needed it done in three days. Not only did they complete my daughter's dress in time, the alterations were perfect and exactly what I asked for. Thank you again! read more

The owner was very sweet and did an amazing job!! She added bustles to my wedding dress and fixed the top of the zipper. Took time to explain how it all works! Definitely would come here again. It's a very small business that deserves our support against all the big businesses out there. read more

From the moment I called to book an appointment to when I walked out of the shop I had nothing but a positive experience. Fatemah was responsive and attentive the entire time and very sweet. She is a real expert at what she does and made the alteration process a breeze. I will definitely continue to use her and refer my friends to her as well. Thanks Fatemah! read more

I am a bride who needed my wedding dress altered in less than 3 weeks time!!! They were able to take in, shorten, and bustle my wedding dress perfectly with no hesitation in regard to my fast approaching wedding date. Picked it up and it looked great! read more

Where do I start?! Fatemeh does amazing work! She is incredibly talented and skilled in her work as a seamstress. She is so nice and willing to work with her customers. I took in my engagement dress and my wedding dress to Fatemeh and she did stunning work. I can't wait to wear my wedding dress! Not only does she know what she is doing but she finishes before the actual pickup date. I finally have found a place to take all my clothes too. read more

I have used A stitch in time for many years, they have great customer service and are talented seamstresses. I have never been disappointed.

A few months ago I bought a dress that I was in love with except for the sleeves. I had two months before I was getting married so I needed a fast but beautiful fix. I bought material that matched my dress, took it in, and she told me she would have it done 2 weeks before the wedding. They took about the old bell sleeves and used the flowers to make my long slim sleeves, that gave me the romantic, traditional feel I was going for, seamless. The sleeves were perfect! These women are amazing! read more

Severely damaged a vintage shirt; would not trust for intermediate or higher work.

Needed a bridesmaid dress altered & she did a great job in a timely manner. It's a small shop, but don't let the looks of it deter you. You can tell she takes pride in her work. read more

Can't get over how amazing and nice Fatemeh is. We took my best friend's wedding dress here and experienced some of the best customer service ever. Fatemeh is great at what she does and extremely helpful. Fatemeh went out of her way to come in early for a final fitting for my friend since it was the only weekend she could visit before the wedding. My friend was extremely grateful. The dress turned out even way better than we could have even have thought! She fixed the broken zipper, brought in the sides and hemmed her princess style dress. Please check her out! read more

Really great place. Both my wife and I have had our alterations done here for a few years now, she even did my wife's wedding dress. I absolutely cannot recommend this place enough. read more

Fatemeh is not only the sweetest lady I have ever met, she went above and beyond to really help me out of a bind. My mail ordered bridesmaid dress was way too small and I didn't have enough time to exchange it or get a new one. Fatemeh came up with a creative and gorgeous way to make my dress fit me perfectly and I honestly like it more than the original. (She made the back a corset and it's beautiful!) Her rates are great, especially for the work she does and how quick she gets it done. All with the biggest smile. GO SEE HER! She's the BEST! read more

This has been my go to place for many years for all my alterations. The owner takes pride in her work and is very professional and friendly. I drive a long way to come here for alterations but it's worth it. read more

I have been going here for 4 or 5 years now because I really TRY to be a loyal customer. I can't justify spending any more money here. 5 years in the owner is nice to me, but still doesn't know my name. I go there 10 times a year minimum - so it shouldn't be that hard to at least RECOGNIZE me. I decided to have my wedding dress altered there this year because I knew and trusted her. She made a big to do about my dress and my wedding, but when I stopped by with my ENTIRE wedding party to pick up ALL of our dresses, she had no idea what we were talking about. "Dress? What type of dress?" Uh, my WEDDING dress? The only one in the store? Hanging right there? Every pair of pants she has hemmed for me - from jeans to slacks - has been too short, by over an inch, and she charged me SIX dollars to sew a button back on... when I brought her the button. I am sure there is better service elsewhere, along with better prices. read more

I purchased a dress for a wedding and wanted the hem let down. The dress also was a little big on top so in addition to the hem I had her take the top in. However, when I got home and tried the dress on I found that she'd taken it in so much that I could hardly breathe standing up and was even more uncomfortable sitting down. I could not wear the dress to the wedding as I planned. I called the next business day and she said to bring the dress back in but made it sound like I had gained weight or something so that was why it did not fit. I'd actually been trying to lose weight for the event so this was not true! When I went to the shop she was short with me but then there were other customers around. In looking at how much the dress needed to be let out she unzipped the back of the dress all the way down with two men standing behind me - - they could see my bra and underwear! I was very embarrassed! I picked up the dress today and it is sewn with a completely different color of thread which you can see at the seams and it is wrinkled. I feel like this new dress is a piece of trash now and am just sick that I spend money on the dress and an extra $40+ for alterations that just are not professional at all. I will never go back and I also plan to tell the salesperson at Dillards never to give this woman's card to anyone again! read more
