    Before photo. No slip, same length throughout, thin waist band.

    I found Emma through Old Town Shoe Repair and I am so happy I did. Other seamstresses I researched had 4-6month turnover times and astronomical prices. Emma did my alteration in 2 weeks for around $100. I couldn't believe it. Above that, she was responsive via text, flexible with pick up days/times and patient with my requests. She even offered additional services for other items including adding cups to a few tops and adjusting liners on the skirt. I'm so happy with the finished skirt she altered. Emma listened to what my vision was, understood my requests, is experienced enough to know what was possible and beyond talented to make it happen. Her turnout time is impressive and so convenient. She was flexible when we planned to meet. I will be returning to Emma for all my alteration needs

    Emma was AMAZING! She was so sweet and professional and I couldn't be happier with how my dress turned out! I put off getting alterations done to my wedding dress but luckily Emma was able to fit me in with time to spare! We discussed all of the tweaks I wanted and she even suggested a couple of her own to make sure it fit perfectly. She attached a sash belt with a tie, hemmed the length, took in the sleeves, trimmed down the mesh v-neck, and added a wrist bustle. Her pricing was very reasonable priced compared to some other quotes I received. I was nervous about trusting someone with my wedding dress after the horror stories I've read, but your dress is in very good hands with Emma! I'd 100% recommend her to anyone!

    Straps on the dress were adjusted to perfect size.

    I loved working with Emma to get my dress ready for the wedding. Her prices were very fair and never strayed from what we discussed. She gave me a timeline of how long the alterations would take, and everything came together on schedule. On top of this, Emma is also a very sweet person, and you can trust that you are in good hands. Her dogs are adorable as well. My dress needed adjustments to the straps and the length, and Emma quickly added in a bustle after those initial adjustments were complete. She went through all of the hooks-and-eye additions and let me take a video that made it easy to locate them again on the big day. The bustle was so easy, even my husband figured it out when the job fell to him during the cocktail hour. I would recommend her to any bride. In fact I wish I had more formal wear in need of tailoring so I could go to her again.

    I requested this service through Yelp and Emma responded right away! I needed 7 pairs of pants needed to be hemmed. Some needed the length to be shortened and a couple others just had some loose threads at the cuff of the pants. I always put off getting this done because I didn't know where to go! Thanks to Yelp, I was able to find Alterations By Emma. She did an amazing job. I now have 7 pairs of pants that are a better fit for me now. The price was good for the great work that was done. Emma even offered to fix anything if there was ever a problem. Emma was so responsive, nice, and quick! She is also local, and I really like that she is within reach. I will definitely be coming back for any alterations.

    Emma did a great job on my bustle for my dress! Her pricing was fair and she was very kind and professional. I highly recommend.

Since the change of management and location, the shop has gone downhill. Reliability is down the drain. I've showed up multiple times to pick up my items and told to come back the next day or they pull it out and work on it right there. Where was this effort over the previous week? This was the last draw. They had my items for nearly 2 weeks. I even had a call after the 9 day mark that the items would be ready on day 10. I had other things going on and showed up on day 13 to pick them up. They were sitting on the floor and I was told they were not ready but would be done at the same time the following day. I showed up today at 3:10 to find the closed sign on the door and could see my item sitting on the floor in the same spot it was when I dropped it off and unfinished. When the door was finally opened, the excuse was made that they're swamped and super busy but there was nobody working and the sign on the door says that after 2pm, no tailor is on duty. The work is fine if they do it but avoid this shop if you're expecting your items to be done in a timely manner. I took my items to another shop that will be done in 3-4 days.

I have given her a range of items way too small and huge to alter and she makes them look like they were made for my body. I recently bought a pair of pants that were 4 inches too small around the waist and brought her supplemental fabric that does not even look like the pants... she not only added the fabric to fit me, she also camouflaged the entire alteration so you couldn't even see that it was not original!!!! She is also so very friendly and personable. I experienced a very unexpected death in my immediate family and had nothing to wear. I was so overwhelmed with coming to terms with it surrounded by family that I had to find a dress two days before the funeral. I found one that was a mess: too long in shoulders and too big around the top and waist, but fit in the hips. With tears, I asked if there was any way she could work a miracle for the funeral. She didn't even flinch when she said 'absolutely don't worry about it at all'. She, once again, worked a miracle for me and had it perfectly fitted in no time. I would say for sure I highly recommend her. She especially has had issues with business during the pandemic and I have done my part by bringing her weekly items. Please do the same!

    OMG. You guys. My…read moreold OK Sew Co review is just for silly old jeans. I wanted to update my review for a recent, amazing update I had done to a dress. Here's some background: I love Johnny Was. It is my favorite brand. I don't buy it often because it is expensive, but I scour for sales, and I always end up getting 1-2 pieces per year. This year, so far, I have bought four pieces because sales have been insane. I bought an amazing dress on sale from Neiman's online this spring, but it was a full size too big and way too long. I needed several changes: the arms shortened, the whole bottom shortened (but replaced with the original bottom piece because of the way the dress kicks out at the bottom) and it needed to be taken in everywhere. Natalie came to the house, and as she was pinning, I started to realize what an undertaking it would be. The end result is phenomenal. I love it even more than I thought I would. I think my favorite thing is that she added a drawstring so I can tighten it at the waist. Even after spending hours on my dress, she took the time to add a wonderful detail: to the ends of the drawstrings, she added some of the embroidery from what she had taken off. It was some absolutely amazing attention to detail and I was so thankful for the time she put in overall. I found the pricing and turnaround time both incredibly reasonable for what I needed done. I also appreciate Natalie for being so patient with my daughter (an extra extrovert who never gets to see humans anymore). Natalie was so attentive to and patient with her, even though it is not in the job description to dote on wordy four year olds. I know everyone always wants Laura, but Natalie is amazing. I will request her from now on because she is so talented.
