Solution: Convert the trench coat to a trench jacket, maintaining Burberry proportions and not ruin the coat. Mr Vargas is a Master Tailor. He was able to shorten the coat (and liner) while maintaining proportions and fully functionality. Guillermo Vargas is much more than a Master Tailor, he is an Artist who understands Design. Highly recommended, you won't find anyone better

He told me he was so busy that he couldn't commit over the phone, but that I was welcome to drop in so he could take a look. I did just that. He was extremely friendly and knowledgeable, and clearly nudged me towards the right alteration decisions while making clear the final call was always 100% mine. Afterwards, he told me that he'd take the job, and since my event was in 3 weeks, he'd be sure to have it done in 2. He then called me 1 week after I dropped the suit off and told me it was ready for pickup. The alterations were perfect, the price was reasonable, and the service was superb. If you're looking for a men's tailor in Pittsburgh, I can't recommend Dale highly enough.

Anita has been a complete blessing! I had purchased my wedding dress from a store who claimed to…read moreoffer alterations, but who knew nothing about them! I brought my dress to her to examine and she gave it to me straight -- that is was really messed up, but that it was fixable. I had already paid for the original alterations, so was conscious of price. When she gave me the final total it was absolutely reasonable for the amount of work she did, including having to add materials to the dress itself. I think some people think that alterations should be cheap because sometimes you can get that from a dry cleaner, but in real life that type of quality work takes time and you definitely pay for what you get. The store itself is in a bit of an awkward spot off of Rt 51, but the inside is very spacious, clean, and has a great area for you to try on your dress under great lighting! One note is that she only accepts cash or checks. I will definitely be back for more alterations in the future. If you ever need a complete pro to alter or hem anything, whether it be a dress, pants, or fur coat, Anita is your lady!

I was in a bit of a time crunch and thought she was my only option. After trying on my 2 dresses she gave me astronomical quotes for what it would be. I immediately regretted it, but didn't think I had any other option so I paid the $519.95 that was asked. After I got home I realized that that really wasn't a feasible option for me, especially being a single mother. I went back to Minh at 11:00 am the very next day and asked for only one of the 2 dresses back and explained that it was just way out of my budget. She then told me I could have my dress but I had to pay her 50% of the quoted amount. That quoted amount was $300 for a hem and taking the bust area in about an inch. I told her I was only taking one dress, not both. She did not care. She said she already did a service. She was rude and her husband even said "You have to pay her". I BEGGED her not to do that. She said its her policy and her sign says "Cancellations are subject to 50% fee". While I completely understand having policies in place, she didn't even have my dress for 24 hours. Not a stitch or cut or any alterations were done at all. I also informed her that the sign says SUBJECT TO which does not mean she HAS to charge me that. It is a discretionary amount. I told her I would pay a consultation fee or something that would equate to the 30 minutes of time I spent in her store but she said NO. The charge was absolutely egregious. I was literally robbed. I will never be ok with what she did. I will never recommend her to a single person ever. My 73 year old Mom went to the store to ask them to show me some grace and give me my money back and they called the police on my mom and physically put her hands on and shoved my mother. This family is the highest level of disturbing and should be shut down. Side note, there was a gentleman in the store that heard me literally sobs and cries for help and even offered to pay for me. I just want him to know that he was a sweet sweet man and that meant so much to me, but that woman doesn't deserve a dime of anyone's money. I would like the $250 back that she charged me to hold my dresses for 17 hours. I also want to emphasize that I was really overwhelmed and felt like I had no other option. I needed one dress within the next 3 weeks. AND I was only trying to ask for one of the two dresses back. I was still supporting her business.
