    Judy SAVED THE DAY. I picked up my wedding dress 2 weeks before the wedding from another seamstress and it didn't fit. Like AT ALL, she told me to eat a cheeseburger or buy a new dress. I got recommended to go to Judy, she had me come right over and we had fittings every few days until it was PERFECT. She was incredible and came up with unique solutions to actually make sure I felt amazing in my dress. Her prices are very reasonable and her service and quality is exceptional. Remove stress from your life and go to Judy!! :)

    I cannot rant and rave enough about Judy and how amazing she is as a seamstress. From bridesmaid dresses, to personal coats and shirts, and eventually by wedding gown, Judy has never disappointed and I believe the photos speak for themselves on the quality and value that she provides in her services. If you are thinking of getting alterations for any occasion, I highly recommend her. When you meet Judy, its like talking to a friend you have known your entire life and she really makes you feel comfortable and excited for your big day.

    Judy was amazing!!! I never knew a dress could fit so well. She was so patient with me and always did a great job at explaining what she was doing. We had multiple appointments and each time the dress fit better and better. I ended up bringing 2 more dresses last minute and she was able to fit those in just in time. Highly recommend Judy to anyone looking to get anything altered. :)

    I loved working with Jude!!! She does her alteration appointments out of her basement and it's such a cute and cozy place. She is also so kind and fun to talk to during the appointments. My dress was very layered and elaborate, but she was able to alter it to fit both my heels and my flats and she worked really hard to fix some of the areas we were having problems with to ensure that it looked great on my wedding day. She also did a fantastic bustle on the back of my dress that I got a lot of compliments on. She even recorded a video with me to help teach my maid of honor how to do it! She took great care of my dress while she worked on it too and she always made sure we took lots of progress photos during our appointments so I could look at them and get some cute photos in my dress! Also, I went to her during some high Covid times and she took great precautions to ensure that both she and I stayed healthy and safe. I am so happy I found Judy and highly recommend her for your bridal and prom dress alteration needs!

    Judy is a fabulous seamstress! She helped me get the perfect fit in my wedding dress and did some major work to shorten the length while moving the lace to still hang beautifully off the edge. She made the straps more comfortable, and took one of the layers of the train out so only the lace layer was long. Perfect for our beach wedding in Mexico! And my bustle was exactly what I had hoped for! Judy is patient, communicative, reliable, and fair with pricing. She also altered one of my bridesmaid's dresses and did a perfect job with that, too. I hope to take other items to her in the future!

    Judy is incredible. She transformed 3 gowns for my wedding - and they all fit like a glove! The silhouettes were complicated and intricate and you'd think that the dresses had been made for me when she was done with them. She is not only SO good at her craft, but also wonderful to spend time with. She has a lovely home studio with great lighting, too. I have recommended Judy to many of my friends and I couldn't speak highly enough about her.

    Judy was great. Had ample time to allow her to make my dress fit perfectly for my wedding. Judy listened about every detail, how I wanted it bustled, how the shoulder straps were fitting, the length everything. Thank you for making sure my dress looked beautiful. So many complements.

    She beautifully altered the back of the dress to not impede on my muscles or back/arm movement.

    5/5 stars for Judy!! She made my wedding dreams come true altering my sample sale wedding gown to perfection. Judy is attentive, creative, made super helpful suggestions, and even was able to perfectly make pockets in my ballgown!! My wedding was a fairytale, but Judy was the one who made me look like a princess! I can speak to Judy's attentiveness because Judy probably saw me no less than 6-7 times leading up to my wedding!! She is so thorough and constantly checked to be sure things were just to my liking. Judy had insightful vision for how the dress could transform to fit me and my style, even aspects of my dress that I never thought about or questioned. There is no better person to put your trust in than Judy! In contrast, I had another dress with another seamstress in Cherry Creek (a larger, very expensive high end operation), who only saw me twice for actual alteration appointments and once more for a final check. It's no question that I would go back to Judy instead of anywhere else for every need of mine in the future. I also appreciated her flexibility working with my work schedule and her willingness to see me in the evenings.

    Judy did such an incredible job altering my wedding dress! When I originally came to her, I had some second thoughts about the dress and whether or not I'd made the right choice. After she hemmed the bottom, thinned my straps, added a new zipper, deep cleaned it, and more, I felt absolutely beautiful in my dress! It fit perfectly and I received so many compliments on my wedding day. Judy was such a joy to work with, and I really valued her kind and professional demeanor when interacting with both myself and my mom during appointments. Highly recommend her for anyone seeking wedding dress alterations, or alterations of any kind. She's amazing!

    Judy came to me as a recommendation a few years ago for a bridesmaids dress alteration (and it was wonderful!). I called her earlier this year to alter my wedding dress, and brought along a plain veil, my grandma's dress, and a slight vision of what we could do with some lace. She not only altered my gown to fit perfectly, but she also helped me honor my late grandma by using a panel from her gown in my veil. She took great care in her work and I am so grateful I was able to incorporate her legacy into my outfit. Pandemic wedding planning was not ideal by any means, but having Judy's help for our perfect day was priceless.

    Absolutely loved working with Judy! She's was very knowledgeable, professional and quick! I really enjoyed my time with her and will be seeing her again in the future!

    Judy is SO wonderful!! Working with her was a very positive experience and I cannot recommend her enough. I thought her prices were reasonable and her work was high quality. Every appointment I had she took the time to get to know me better.During the appointments she also asked questions about the flow of our wedding and with that information was able to make recommendations on alterations that would make me more comfortable throughout the wedding. I felt beautiful on my wedding day in my dress and Judy's work helped make that happen. Highly recommend!

It could be done by mail shipping to and from Steamboat Springs, CO. They would check it, send an estimate and with acceptance repair and ship it back. That seemed unnecessarily complicated from a place like Boulder, home of many outdoor gear companies and repair support. We stopped in to the place we had purchased it, our REI store being incredibly helpful and knowledgeable of such repairs, though they don't do any themselves. They gave us two names, Bare Boulder being the most comprehensive and a 20 minute drive away, on a prominent street in Lafayette. I called, got info from the owner, Eli, about general pricing and timing. We took the bag of poles out 3 weeks ago, the estimate in person was at the low end of general approximation on the phone. We dropped it off and was told about 3 weeks as my husband had no need to camp with for at least a month. We picked it up today, ready on time and beautifully done with even higher quality cord than original. The shop is amazing, with antique sewing machine display, thousands of sizes and colors of zippers, piles of buckles and straps. It appears he can fix such parts on almost anything, luggage, jackets, backpacks, scuba BC vests, tents handbags, tote bags, recreation gear galore. We will certainly return as we wear out more and more of our gear.

    Unfortunately had a pretty bad experience here recently that ensures I won't be returning. I have…read morebeen getting pants hemmed here for a few years now, and they've been fine. I don't feel like it's anything stellar but it's close to my house and convenient. Payment is required upfront before the service, which I don't like at all and I think is a pretty bad standard for a tailor, paying before you see the outcome of the service. I brought in a pair of athletic pants a couple weeks ago for a simple hem, and when I got home I noticed they had awful iron burns on the bottoms, I hadn't noticed when I picked them up as they were folded on a hanger with the one side that was okay facing out. These are completely sold out pants that were pretty hard to get in the first place and I was super upset. Went back in and she admitted they were iron burns and sometimes the iron is too hot, and offered to pay the price of the hem back. I was still pretty upset by this, as I took a perfect pair of $70 pants in and came out with horribly burnt ones. They're wearable, but it looks awful and is noticeable. My boyfriend went back and talked to her knowing I was so upset, to see what else she could do, and she insisted the pants couldn't be $70, he showed her the receipt and she told him to come back the next day for a refund in cash when she'd have it. She ended up giving half the cost of the pants back. My problem is that the iron burns were incredibly bad, for her to not have noticed them as she was ironing and mention it to me when I went back in for pick up is concerning, as it either shows a lack of attention to detail as she's working or that she was hoping I just wouldn't notice, which is pretty upsetting. These are very obvious, and anyone ironing the pants should have immediately seen them while ironing. They're in multiple places and the marks don't match up, showing that they were burnt and then the iron was moved and they were burnt again, it didn't stop after the first burn. I also don't at all like that she told my boyfriend she'd provide a refund and then gave half when we went back to pick them up, it just felt crappy and like she was trying to backtrack and not make it fully right like she had sounded like she was going to do the day before. If she had told him she'd pay half upfront and that was agreed on I'd be totally fine, but she indicated she'd be providing a full refund, which I think would be a good business practice, and is something a business I'd want to support would do. This just felt like she was trying to make it go away with the bare minimum, and like her mistake was somehow an inconvenience for her to fix. I'm just honestly very disappointed, and now if the pants do come back in stock and I can repurchase I don't even have the full cost back to do so, I'll still be out half the price trying to just end up with what I had before I took these in to this shop (a non burned pair). There are just way too many red flags here for me to ever want to return to this shop. If you want non burned clothes and want to support a business who doesn't act like their mistakes are an inconvenience to fix, and one who will make things fully right when they mess up, stay away from this shop.

I had a few pairs of pants that needed hemming, and before making the trip I checked their website, which clearly stated they offer alterations. There was nothing mentioned about any exceptions or special requirements. I arrived right when they opened, walked in, and the first thing the associate asked me was if I knew the inseam measurements of my pants and what length I needed them to be. I was honestly confused by the question. I don't know my inseam measurements -- that's the whole reason I came to a cleaners that offers alterations. I expected they would measure the pants, or measure me, and determine the proper length. She told me they don't do that and that customers have to come in with their own exact measurements. This was never stated on their website. Had that been communicated upfront, I would've come prepared or gone somewhere else and saved myself the trip. On top of that, the interaction wasn't very friendly or welcoming. The whole experience felt dismissive and inconvenient, especially after going out of my way first thing in the morning.
