    Belt loop stitched back on nice and strong.

    Fantastic quality, speedy work, and superb job. I had 7 pairs of denim jeans needing repairs to broken off belt loops and was very pleased with their work. Patched and stitched even stronger than before they tore. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be back when I need more clothing repairs/alterations.

    My wedding dress

    I had my wedding dress altered here, and because I'm so short, she had to do a LOT of extra work. The results were gorgeous though, and the dress fit perfectly. Thank you!

    Wendy masterfully altered my all Lace wedding gown. She was able to shorten it by over a foot in length in the front while keeping a beautiful train and an invisible bustle. She also shortened the shoulder pieces to bring the dress up just a bit, and replaced a missing hook. I couldn't believe how amazing the quality of her work was on such a challenging material. Absolutely phenomenal. Thank you Wendy, you made our day that much more special!

    Wendy did an amazing job tailoring the bodice of my highly embellished gown. She was the second tailor I visited, after the first tailor said they were not confident in their skills to tailor my dress. Wendy not only fit the dress perfectly to my body and shape, she was able to accomplish magic in 10 days! Wendy and I were so happy with the outcome that we exchanged hugs At the event, I received so many compliments on my dress and how well it fit me! I could not recommend Wendy more for your bridal or evening gown needs. I don't know how much alterations normally cost for intricate dresses. However, I absolutely felt her quote was accurate for the amount her amount of work and the difficulty of the dress. It was a significant expense, but again the alterations were spot on and worth it. I shared a before and after photo. Her work will make you feel beautiful!

    5 days before my wedding I called Wendy sobbing. My dress didn't fit like I wanted. I had it altered by somebody else, and it was still way too big. Wendy sensed my panicked, told me to come in immediately, and she was so calm and helpful. She finished my dress in two days and it turned out absolutely perfect. This time I left sobbing, but HAPPILY. She saved me. My chest stayed put while I shimmied and twerked the night away. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

    Had some pants hemmed and a suit that was a little too large tailored to my size, great work and excellent prices with quality to match.

Very upset with my experience. Ruined 3 pairs of jeans (~$250 worth) by hacking off original hem and botching the new one. She could've easily said she didn't know how to hem jeans or YouTubed/Googled it, it's not difficult to keep the original hem at all. The new hem is crooked/uneven all the way around, the legs themselves are now different lengths, and they flare at the bottom now but were pencil cut initially. I don't know if she stretched them out while sewing or how that even happened, but it's beyond something that'd return to normal after a wash (though they do need a wash after being in the home for over a week, they smell unpleasant). I'm going to have to pay someone else to try to salvage them now on top of what I paid her. Furthermore, she was difficult to get in touch with to get the jeans back. When I finally was able to set up an appointment to get them (multiple calls and texts later) she wasn't even there. Had to pay her husband and describe my things to him . She is super scattered, unorganized, seems flustered or something? I understand being busy, wouldn't have minded these things if the work had been acceptable. Just pay the extra $$ to have a professional tailor do your things correctly. Thought this would be easy and didn't understand why other places charged so much. Learned my lesson.

    This review is long overdue, as Annie truly saved my wedding dress--and, in my opinion, my entire…read morewedding experience. I had mistakenly entrusted my dress to someone who was not only unqualified to alter it but also made several mistakes in the process. With only three weeks remaining before my wedding, I was feeling very anxious, and a friend recommended Annie. She was extremely kind, professional, honest, and diligent in her work. Not only did Annie confirm my concerns, which involved several areas needing adjustment, but she also identified multiple mistakes made by the previous seamstress, including the use of red ink on my dress--presumably markings for alterations that were not properly altered or cleaned. Annie not only completed my dress within a few days, despite a busy travel weekend, but ensured it fit perfectly. She successfully removed the ink and made all the necessary adjustments to make me feel confident on my big day. I am incredibly grateful for her help and couldn't thank her enough. I highly recommend her for anyone needing expert tailoring for a special event.
