Super awesome with a same day request for a dress hem! Highly recommend her for alterations in Tampa.

I came in for an emergency hem with an expensive pair of jeans. Their original hem line was mind blowing! I was shocked at how well my jeans came out. Since then I've brought all my slacks and other jeans in for tapers, hems, and waste adjustment. Everything comes out just as it might from factory, except better and custom fit for my body. So thankful to have this tailor because I'm a person who has a weird shape and appreciates great fitting clothes! read more

We needed some jeans hemmed before going on a trip to the Grand Canyon. We searched Yelp for places since this is a service we usually don't use and we found this place. Virginia was very helpful and we couldn't be happier with the work done. The jeans look like a regular pair from the store, but fit perfectly! It can sometimes be difficult finding the right length for shorter guys, but we don't have to worry anymore! This will now be our go-to place for any alterations. read more

New to the area and I found my go to alterations right here. While at my first visit, a repeat customer validated this is the place to go. She has the skills to do all variety of apparel said the customer - recital dresses, wedding dresses, skirts, etc. read more

I've had multiple dresses, jeans and work pants altered here - always reliable, timely, and done right the first time. She will always give her honest opinion on whether or not something needs altering, not just say ok to an alternation to get business. This is the only place I will go in Tampa. Hands down. read more

Alterations was so accommodating and truly spends time with and cares about their customers. They altered my wedding dress (a hem with 10 layers! and adjusting my beaded straps), not an easy job. My dress fit perfectly and was reasonably priced for all the work. I loved coming it because they are so sweet to their customers. I recently moved to Tampa and will be coming here for all my alterations needs. read more

So glad I came here! After another shop did a disastrous number on my boyfriends pair of denim ripped shorts, I came straight here. Upon review, Virginia was straight forward and told me exactly what she could and couldn't for me. I really appreciated that! She asked me when I needed them by and I told her she could take her time. My shorts were ready 7 days later and look great! She even tore at the new seam she made to make them look like the other rips in the shorts. Her work was impressive, affordable and she was as so sweet to me. Definitely worth the 25 min drive during rush hour. I will definitely be back! read more

Alterations - Virginia stitched up the long vertical rip on the right leg. Love the results! - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Do not go here ! I'm still in shock. They tailored two suits for me and denied it! Their threads are falling apart and buttons falling off. They actually denied this was their work - the lady and her daughter wondered if my suits were done by their former employee ... but failed to take responsibility for her work. Both suits were brand new suits for job interviews 3 months ago and they were the only people to touch them. Their lack of accountability is hilarious for the amount of money involved. Ridiculous! read more

I took my wedding dress to Virginia about two weeks before we left for our California wedding. I can not imagine having gone anywhere else... Her work was spectacular. Virginia knows her craft 110% and the work she did on my dress was perfection. She was personable, attentive and professional. My dress fit like a glove when she was done with it and I know I'll be going to Virginia with all of my alteration needs in the future! read more

I needed a quick fix for my work hat; it had a decal falling off and just needed some stitches to get it back on. I was on a time crunch, since it was for work, and they were able to take care of it immediately. It took maybe 2 minutes tops. I tried to pay more since I was so glad to get it fixed quickly but they wouldn't let me. Kind, fast service. read more

Alterations - Nice uncluttered space - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Hands down the best!! My sister and I brought in our bridesmaids dresses to be altered just 6 days before we had to leave for the wedding. Virginia was so nice and reassured us that'd she'd have them done in time. With that said, please don't do what we did, although she did a fantastic job, it's not fair to put her under such a tight time constraint. My sisters dress, as you can see in the photo, had intricate beading all the way down to the bottom. Virginia needed to remove all the beading along the bottom in order to hem the dress and then re apply. And my dress had three layers of tulle and two under skirts that needed to be hemmed and a silk top that needed to be taken in. Not an easy task!! But she did it and they looked stunning!! We are so grateful for Virginia and her hard work!! Thank you!!!! read more

I always receive high quality professional alterations from here. Whether it is a pair of jeans, jacket, hoodie or wedding dress, she will get the job done. I would highly recommend her! read more

She was beyond helpful, she could not help with the alternations to the dress but she directed me to someone that could. Extremely sweet, my daughter left completely in love with her and how she treated us. I'm sure she does excellent work. read more

Virginia and her team did an amazing job. I brought in a suit that fit me soooooo poorly, and they were able to not only make it wearable, but to make it look downright great! I won't go anywhere else to have things fitted and adjusted. read more

So I had a dress (cocktail styled, with a liner underneath) taken in about a full size here. It looks amazing!!!!! Before it looked baggy and frumpy, and now it looks like it was custom made for my figure. The turn around was about 6 days, and the bill was only about 19$! I was so pleased! The customer service was great, and they do answer questions on yelp in a very timely fashion (I sent in an inquiry beforehand!) 10/10 would recommend. read more

So unfortunate that I have to write this review because in the past I have had very nice experiences with the owner and the value/work. That said, I recommended my wife take a simple $30 dress there to be taken up only to find out that they later charged her $80 to do it. Logic and honesty would say that a 25+ yr experienced alterations business owner would let the customer know that altering the dress would cost nearly 3 times as much as the price, but according to her "that's not my business to let the customer know the price... I am busy with customers". We clearly will never go back there and I would recommend you go down the street to Dorca's to get just as good quality, but more honest dealings. read more

Amazing experience with the ladies here! I don't have a car and took the bus for 1.5 hours to visit them because I saw a lot of great reviews. It did not disappoint me at all! I asked a week beforehand about my concerns and the communication was fast and accurate. Needed my pants to be hemmed and did not have a lot of time to spare, I made a request if they could have it done in an hour or two. Surprisingly it only took them less than half an hour for the perfect work. I was extremely pleased with the service I got and felt like every minute spent sitting on the bus to come here is worthy. The place is small but very clean, with minimal decoration but still has its calm and vintage atmosphere. The ladies are extremely friendly and nice, which I really appreciated. Definitely will come back!! read more

The only place my boyfriend and I go for clothing alterations Virginia and Veronica are always so kind and helpful. Their work is of the highest quality and always is done in a short amount of time. Would recommend Alterations to everyone! read more

Go here. Virginia is awesome, she makes you feel like family and does absolutely amazing work for a very fair price. She did my wedding dress, reception and rehearsal dinner dress. She is just amazing all around. I will never go anywhere else for alterations and I will recommend everyone for know ! read more

Cannot recommend this place enough!! She has done every alteration for me since I've been in Tampa and has even altered dresses for me last minute so I can pick them up only a few days later. Such great service for any type of clothing article - she even hemmed a bridesmaid dress that had 10 layers of tool with barely any notice. Such friendly and professional service, come here for your any of your alteration needs you won't be disappointed. read more

What a treat to work with a business so utterly committed to customer service and quality work. I had my wedding dress, a two layer, gold sequined, delicate evening gown altered about two weeks before the big day. I was greeted with a friendly smile as soon as I walked in the door. The dress was pinned quickly as I modeled it for staff. A week later, I handed them $50 and they gave me my dress, expertly hemmed for my wedding. I can't wait to go back in and show them pictures of their exquisite work on display. read more

I got a bridesmaid dress altered here. Great service, quality, and price. I'll definitely come back when I need other things altered.

BEST ALTERATIONS EVER! You have to come here! First off, Virginia, who runs the business, is the nicest person ever!!! Her prices are amazing and all my clothes she has altered has turned out perfectly!! Don't listen to the bad reviews, Alterations by Virginia is worth going to!! read more

They are amazing! I took some work pants in because they were too long. I picked them up a couple of days later, and they did a great job with the hem! They were both so friendly and I left feeling really happy. The next day, after washing the pants, I found a rip in a seam! (Not the hem). I needed to get it fixed right away because I was going out of town the next day, and quickly drove over. They were able to fix it right then, and I walked out 10 minutes later feeling very relieved. I couldn't recommend them more! Great pricing, quick turnaround, and extremely friendly people. read more

The best experience + people, to say the least! I was very fortunate to hear about Alterations from more than one friend so I went at my most desperate hour - to fix pantsade in Pakistan for a wedding ...in 2 weeks! They were kind, understanding and more than a pleasure. They fixed unfixable pants and I can't thank them more. I will be back and will tell everyone I can about Alterations! Thank you! read more

Virginia is just the absolute best! She does fantastic work for every day alterations and she did an amazing job with my wedding gown alterations. Very timely and professional! read more

The woman in this shop is nice.. Until you have a complaint. The first time I came in, she was screaming on the phone with someone who was unhappy with their dress alteration and then proceeded to talk about them to me.... I'd already handed her my dress so I decided to not think anything of it and left. I went back today to pick up my dress (needed hemming), tried it on in the shop (just to make sure the length was fine which it was), and left. I got home and saw that the bottom tulle was completely uneven. I mean like it looked like someone just ran scissors across and called it a day. I paid 86$ for JUST a hemming. Literally the liner layer is just cotton and tulle on top. Yes, for a wedding dress but honestly it's more like a prom dress (since I'm having a casual wedding) that cost me a little over 100$.... will definitely not be coming back. Way too expensive and from someone that prides herself on "great online reviews", her quality of work is just unacceptable. To top it all off, she lost the tag on my fiancé's pants and didn't even bother to remind me that I had a pant order on the same ticket before I left. I literally ran back in the store because I remembered. read more

Had to get a last minute hem on my suit. They were extremely accommodating and very nice. Great people. Local business. They've been here over 20 years. What's not to like? read more

Virginia was amazing... I came in to get my wedding dress altered with an extremely short window of time, a very extravagant dress, & very specific requests!!! She was beyond helpful and had a very quick turn around! She is incredibly friendly and you can tell her work is amazing just based on how many repeat customers are walking in the doors in just the small window of time I was there for my fittings...My dressed was tailored to perfection! read more

They are the best! I do not trust another alterations place in the Tampa area. I am pretty short and have to get anything long (bridesmaids dress, maxi dress, pants, jumpsuits) hemmed and alterations is my go to! The only thing I'm sad about is not finding this place sooner after moving to Tampa. My latest trip to alterations, I dropped off a bridesmaids dress to be hemmed on Thursday and was flying out for the wedding the following Thursday - they had my dress hemmed and ready to go with plenty of time to spare. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

Virginia absolutely fantastic She fixed my New Year's Eve gown in less then 24h , no other shop could do it in such a short time. Great place , fast and affordable !!! read more

great service, fast turn around, and i just wanna hang out with the staff and chat. read more

Alterations - My fathers blue velvet blazer from the early 1970's. My dad is 6'5 and they were able to fit it to my 6ft frame! - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Tampa, Florida

I have been going to Virginia for my families alterations for years. Her work is beautiful, she is kind, friendly and welcoming. I have also had some funky off the wall alternation requests and she has been able to do them all. She has fixed bags, matched lost buttons, added drawstrings to pants, shortened workout gear and added panels to sheerer clothing to name only a few. She also has been able to do rushes on orders when I needed it. This a a class act business and I always feel welcomed when I walk in the door! read more

Had a great experience! I needed a dress altered for a wedding I was attending. I dropped it off on a Monday and picked it up on a Wednesday! They were very professional and willing to take me in at a moments notice. I will definitely keep coming here and sending all my friends here. read more

Amazing place... needed pants hemmed for my son same day! Very friendly and had pants ready 2hours earlier than said time. They are Perfect! Highly recommend Alterations on Kennedy! read more

I travelled from overseas to have a few pants hemmed. When I came back to collect I had another pair that needed to be hemmed and asked Virginia if she could do it in five minutes and she did! The quality of work is great. I'm so glad that I waited half year to get my pants altered by Virginia. I just wished she was closer. read more
