Still five star! New location, still great service. At this point I've had several pairs of pants altered, so has my husband. I recently had them cut off the sleeves on a dress that was a beastly fabric. Here's the deal...can I sew? All day, every day. Do I like to sew? Hell no! These folks do pristine work at a wonderful price and have about a week turnaround. I also know that I can trust them with a nice piece and they will do a good job. It's well worth the peace of mind to take it to them so that you can keep from pulling your hair out trying to be your own seamstress. read more

I got a dress hemmed here for a wedding and had an incredible experience! It was such an easy process! I just walked in, put my dress on, she measured the length, and in two weeks it was perfect! She does say for length alterations to have at least 10 days before the event but can work with you if needed. She was easy to contact and gave great feedback. I was considering taking in the dress at the waist a little and she had so much seamstress knowledge about how that would make the rest of the dress look and the stitching style which was so impressive! I cannot recommend her enough! read more

Lidia and her team were able to take in a dress and a skirt for me within a little over an hour! They did an amazing job and have excellent service. I will be back. Thank you so much! read more

Fast and efficient service. Called at 3pm asking to get my pants tailored - 4pm DONE! $67 for length and waist alterations. Had to fly out at 7am the next day, she is a lifesaver of fabric! Can't miss the all pink house! Great work! read more

Lidia is a saint! Her skills are impeccable, she is kind, patient and very knowledgeable. Not only did she alter my and my daughter's dresses for my son's wedding, she expertly altered my DIL's dress and literally recreated her veil after what she ordered didn't quite work. Highly recommend!!!! read more

I've had about 10 pieces of varying difficulty altered by Lidia and they've all been perfect. The very first thing I brought to her was a dress that I thought just needed a waist adjustment, but we ended up ended turning it into an entirely new dress that I loved even more. She's fast and the prices reflect the quality. I wouldn't take my things anywhere else. read more

Lidia is great! She offers helpful advice on alterations, and her prices are reasonable. The location is easy to get to (right between Mopac & I-35), and there is a small parking lot in the back. Originally, I went there to have my bridesmaid dressed altered. The process was so smooth and easy that my husband then wanted to bring in his suits to be altered as well. Over the last couple of months, we have probably seen Lidia every other week (my husband keeps finding new things to bring in), and she has been friendly and professional every time. NOTE: There is place in South Austin with a VERY similar name (Lidia's Alterations and Tailoring). It seems that they are nice and professional as well, but if you make an appointment with one business, DOUBLE CHECK the address before you pop it into Google maps (...or learn the hard way, like I did). read more

They sewed on patches for us on jackets and did an amazing job. It took a bit longer because they're pretty busy but that's a good sign. read more

I needed what turned out to be pretty involved alterations to the bust/shoulders of a beaded gown. I was nervous to turn over the job, but everything turned out beautifully! I would trust Lidia again without hesitation! read more

I've come to Lydia twice now. The first time was just a simple dress hem that she completed on time for a wedding I was going to. The second time I brought her my wedding dress after the first alterations place left me with a dress that just didn't fit at all. I came to her in a panic with little time to get a lot of work done. She quoted me one week, and within 2 days she called that it was ready. Not only did she do a great job, but relieved so much of my anxiety getting my dress back to me and it fit so well with plenty of time before my wedding. Will absolutely be coming back to her with any future alteration needs. read more

I've taken two dresses to Lidia to add clear straps to one and to adjust the hem/sizing on the other. They were done quickly and the work was really well done. Lidia is super nice and the prices are high but fair for the quality of work. I will definitely be back for any other alterations that I need done. There's limited parking out front but there is plenty of additional parking in the back that makes it easier when you're leaving as well. read more

She turned a stuffed animal into a backpack and it came out perfect! She did it when every other tailor I called in Austin wouldn't and it wasn't that expensive either. Best tailor in Austin! read more

Lidia went above and beyond to alter my wedding dress for me, and it fits perfectly! When I first contacted her she took care to note my wedding date, and rightfully insisted I bring the underwear and shoes I would be wearing day-of so the hemline would be perfect. When I met with her she talked me through what would need to be altered (mostly hem, bustle, and straps) and did the fitting kindly, comfortably and efficiently. My dress is sheer in a lot of places, and Lidia proactively asked me if I wanted her to fix the built-in bra to be more secure. She let me try her solution before committing, and it worked so well! This saved me a lot of headache trying to figure out what to do instead. Lidia had me come in a second time to make sure the hem, bra, and straps were perfect before she sewed everything in place. Everything was perfect, but it was great to have that peace of mind. I recently picked up my wedding dress, and it is beautiful! I couldn't be more happy with the result (especially being able to walk with the hem the right length!). Lidia took the time to teach me how to bustle the train (and had made sure to reinforce it!), and had even steamed it for me! For timing, Lidia recommends 90 days, though with the alterations needed for my dress the whole process only took 7 weeks! I highly recommend contacting Lidia for wedding dress alterations. read more

Had to go back twice for alterations and the first time was way too tight. Overall decent quality but definitely expensive for the work that was done read more

This will be a short review. It's not much to say other than I received excellent service in the timeframe that was required. The staff are still very calm because I walked in frantically needing to get a dress resized for my upcoming vacation activities. All I can say is that I will continue to use them in the future! It was also reasonably priced. read more

Prices are high, but got it done quickly. The shop is cute. Was able to find it easily.

I recently used Alterations Tailored by Lidia for some trousers that needed shortened. I brought in three pair, one was a jumpsuit that also needed a closure at the front as it was a plunge neckline that was too revealing. She did a great job on all three items and it was about a week turnaround. I was super happy with all the alterations and will use her services again next time I need anything tailored. read more

I wanted to get a corset back for my wedding gown and it came out perfectly! The hemming was on the pricier side but my dress was large and layered and the quality of work was amazing. I wouldn't have trusted anyone else with the most important dress of my life. read more

I had a very intricate formal dress that needed hemming -- three separate layers with lace and sequins. Lidia was so pleasant, did a fantastic job, and had the dress ready in no time at all. I will definitely be back. Highly recommend! read more

We purchased a dress online that turned out WAY too big and no time to return it. Lidia did an amazing job getting that to fit perfectly. Couldn't be more pleased with the quality and service we received. would give 10 stars if I could. Thank you so much for your work. read more

Lydia is the best! Great prices, great work, great communication. Will definitely use her again.

I love supporting local business. I was incredibly impressed by the level of customer service provided and how quickly they were able to get my bridesmaids dress hemmed. They were incredibly personable but yet professional. The prices were very reasonable. If I have anything else that needs to be hemmed, I will definitely be back. read more

I had a high quality dress that needed to be taken in on the entire back, plus fixed zipper in less than 36 hours for an event- and Lidia absolutely delivered. It was done beautifully and quickly, and I was grateful for how quickly she was able to turn this around for me... I ended up getting to proposed to in this dress and it couldn't have been more perfect! read more

I needed a quick turnaround for a send-off dress for my wedding and the team at Lidia's were so wonderful! They answered my email quickly, were sweet and professional during my fitting, delivered the dress in one week (right on time) and even gave me advice on how to lift a stain that I managed to get on the dress between my house and their front door. I would use them for any alterations job - big or small! I also appreciated that they gave me upfront pricing (once they saw the dress on me) and offered a few options no how I could get a better fit. read more

I moved back to Austin in February and desperately needed a really good tailor for my high end clothing and after doing a Yelp and Google search, I found Lidia and she was so sweet, very professional, and did a great job! I will caution you, she is a bit on the pricey side, as for 3 uniform dresses, just to have the sides taken in cost me $65 per dress and even living in Chicago, I did not pay that kind of money for alterations unless I was totally deconstructing my clothes. I will definitely use her again, as my dresses did fit me perfectly and her turn around time was great. read more

Quick friendly and knowledgeable service. Lidia has been in business 30 years and 8 years in the Koenig Road location.

Lydia delivered service with a smile. She was very kind and did an amazing job amy bridesmaids dresses!! read more

Alterations Tailored by Lidia - Middle dress altered by Lidia. - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Austin, Texas

They don't quote a price unless the owner is in, which hasn't been the case the last 3 times I came. Every time ended up being more expensive than I wanted, but not absurd. Unfortunately the last time was absurd. I never would have paid $400 to hem a cheap bridesmaid dress if I had known the cost up front. The result is also disappointing - despite wearing the actual shoes for it to be pinned, the dress is noticeably too short. Below-average quality for absolutely insane pricing. read more

Lydia did a great job tailoring my son's suit. It fit well and looked nice. No puckers! We did not have to leave it very long to get the job done. I'm going back to see here real soon with a dress I need to have hemmed to the right length. read more

Got some pants hemmed here and husband had a suit tailored as well. Would definitely recommend! Quick turn around time, affordable, and done well. Parking can be a bit tricky, but there is a lot in the back which makes it slightly easier. read more

I have lived in Austin for 5 years and have probably tried to go to over 10 tailors and could never find a tailor that did a quality job until I found Lidia. I trust Lidia with my nicest, designer pieces to do an amazing job. She listens to what I want and tailors every piece to perfection. Her turnover time is AMAZING, and the quality of work she performs is truly artwork. I have had her tailor every day items to a fully beaded and feather dress with an overlay, a long gown, and a short cocktail dress and everything always turns out outstanding. I've recently moved and am 30 minutes away from Lidia but I still make the drive to see her to get my clothes tailored. read more

Lidia and her Team are the Best in Austin. I recommend them to All of my Brides and anyone looking for great work!

I had a short timeline to get my wedding dress altered, and I'm so happy that I chose Lidia. Alterations were the easiest part of planning for me because Lidia knew exactly what to do with my dress to make it fit my body perfectly. Her prices are more reasonable than other tailors I spoke with, and the quality is amazing. Thank you Lidia! read more

I needed a bridesmaid dress hemmed, and lidia and her staff did an amazing job with it. Great customer service and the dress was ready when expected. I would recommend her to anyone who needed alterations. I was there when another customer came to pick up her jumpsuit and lidia said she couldn't make the requested adjustment because it would ruin the piece after inspection. Since lidia couldn't work on it, she told the customer it was no charge. The customer still insisted on paying instead of leaving with the piece and lidia's apology that she couldn't do more. If that's not proof of her loyal customer base, idk what would be. read more

I hate writing bad reviews but I also refused to be hustled because of the sense of urgency I needed this dress to be altered. Not only did she show no interest in taking my dress but practically rushed me out the door before I could even ask any questions about my alterations. She wanted to charge me $200 TO SHORTEN A DRESS and said it was because "it's expensive fabric" mam the dress is $80 from Amazon plz. Took it to a place my friend recommended and not only was the lady way friendlier but she did it for $20. This place is a scam read more

Lidia created some guinea pig bedding for me. She did a total of 4 layers on each bedding-2 flannel and 2 uhaul padding. The bedding turned out AMAZING!! Even though it was a custom piece, she did a perfect job. She even placed some stitching in the middle to help keep all the layers flat after washing the bedding. I honestly don't know what I would do without her. She can do anything. I feel so confident with her services and skills that I would trust her with my most precious treasures. read more

Lidia did a beautiful job altering my wedding dress. I had purchased it off a clearance rack so it was a size too large and I had a number of different requests -- removing several of the underlayers to make it less poofy and more flowy, sewing on a silver belt, adding a bustle to hold up the train when dancing, etc. Lidia made it fit like a glove, had great suggestions along the way, and was always pleasant and on time with her work. read more

I haven't used a tailor in Austin since 2014 so when I searched Yelp I found this business. Her location was close by and all the reviews I had read were great too. I took three items for alterations and a little less than two weeks later, my items were ready for pick up! They fit perfectly. She shortened the legs on all three, added a fastener to a low cut jumpsuit and also took the waist in on a pair of pants that were slightly to big. I was very happy with the quality of her work and will be using her service for any future tailoring needs. Thank you, Lidia! read more

I do not recommend this alteration place. Overpriced for alterations that wasn't even done correctly. She offered to fix the alterations in 20 minutes. Afterwords she lied and said that she did not say that I have video proof of everything my advice please do not waste your time or hard on money onto your pretty dresses to get destroyed by this woman she is a complete rip off...Mrs.Adams read more

Lidia was able to alter my wedding dress (that I ordered online without trying on) so that it fit me perfectly and was so comfortable! I was worried because the fabric that wrapped around my arms was really tight and delicate, but she worked her magic to loosen them up and even altered how they were attached to the dress to make them adjustable! This meant that I could move my arms freely and not worry about ripping out the stitches at my wedding. She did such a wonderful job and was quick and affordable! read more
