    After altering my wedding gown, Alla used the extra fabric and beading to create a beautiful pillow! Perfect for the ringbearer.

    Alla did an impeccable job altering my difficult horsehair-trim wedding gown. I originally went to a different tailor, who specializes in wedding dresses and is top rated on Yelp. But that tailor turned down my job because it was too time consuming; she instead referred me to Alla. I'm so glad she did! Not only is Alla's sewing beautiful, but she is professional and lovely to work with. The work was completed on time for every fitting I had. Her prices are great given the high quality of work, and she is less expensive than tailors on Newbury St. Lastly, as a testament to Alla's creativity, she saved the extra fabric and beading from altering my gown and created a lovely pillow. It will be perfect for the ring bearer the day of, and I will treasure it as a keepsake afterwards. I hope to donate my dress after the wedding, so the pillow will be a precious memory!

    Alla did a beautiful job in downsizing my corset ballgown. The estimate was a month but she actually finished in 2 weeks. It was a bit embarrassing when I heard the final bill is 150 while the quote was 80, Because i didn't prepare enough cash and she doesn't take cards. But honestly it's still inexpensive. Follow up - as I promised I will add a pic after the big day - this 20lbs heavy strapless fits me perfect, not falling, not choking me :)

    Great alterations by Alla!

    I came here desperate for help after a highly reviewed tailor in South Boston told me it would be "impossible" to take in my wedding dress due to the illusion/mesh neck and back. With less than a month I came to Alla since she was close to my office, and asked if anything could be done. She took one look, said no problem, and a week later I had the dress of my dreams for 1/3 less of the price I initially paid the first tailor. I won't go anywhere else from now on!

    Great little tailor, quick turnaround, and beautiful sewing. I had a formal dress taken up a bit and she was great.

    This tiny little one-woman shop is great. Kathy's alterations are quick, reliable and affordable.

    I brought in a length of fabric that one of our children bought in Africa and asked Kathy to make a tablecloth from it.

    I just got married this past weekend in Waltham. During the wedding planning process, I researched…read morevarious online suit rental places such as Menguin and the Black Tux at Nordstrom. I was unimpressed by the service I received by them and the way they calculated measurements (Those services don't actually take measurements and you have input the information yourself). I also had bad experiences with Men's Warehouse in the past with other weddings that I have attended as a groomsmen. I realized that there was a local option in Waltham for me to check out. The staff at Formalwear Ltd were very friendly and knowledgeable. I visited the store multiple times as I collaborated with them and my fiance to select the perfect tux combination for my wedding. I picked up my tux a couple of days before the wedding and the size for some of the parts of it were off, but it was no problem at all as they overnighted the correct sizes. Everything fit perfectly for my wedding. If you need to rent a suit or tux for a local event, I highly recommend them!

    My old tux was just not fitting right anymore and I have an event coming up I need a tux for, so I…read morewent in to see John. He checked out my tux and how it fit me and suggested keeping the jacket and getting new pants and a shirt, which I did (and was cheaper than a whole new tux). John had me try on multiple sizes of pants and shirt to get the best fit, and told me about the different options. The new pants and shirt fit way better than the old ones and the price was reasonable. My tux looks so much better now!John is a friendly guy and the service was excellent. I would definitely go back here if I have further tux needs!
