    They were super helpful! My dress alteration was done very fast, and for a good price. Would definitely recommend, and they are so nice!

    I had several pairs of slacks hemmed. She measured and pinned them, and I told her to err on the…read moreshort side if necessary. I made SURE everything was pinned at the length necessary before I left. I was there for quite a while! I went back to get the pants and one pair was WAY too long. I showed them to her and asked why they weren't hemmed to the correct length (they were almost 2" longer than all the other slacks she had done). She INSISTED that I was wrong, telling me that when I was there originally that she told me this length was too long but that I kept telling her I didn't care and I wanted them this way (too long). WHAT??? That made absolutely NO sense, but she dug her heels in and kept refusing to admit the error or offer to fix it. After a few minutes I said to heck with it, paid for all but that pair, and told her to hem them CORRECTLY this time. I showed her the CORRECT length, took pics on my phone for comparison, and I left. My husband went to pick up the pants a couple days later and the woman said there was no charge for the hem - not because she screwed it up to begin with, but because, "the lady was so angry, I feel bad." UGH!! We are NEVER going back there. I'll make the extra drive to Valley West from now on; they do things correctly the first time! UPDATE: She keeps editing her comment back to me and changing her story because she knows she was wrong. The other reviews show what her work really is like and that my experience was NOT an exception to the rule!

    Great job!!! Great prices!!! Great work!!! The shop is a little cluttered but that isn't really an…read moreissue it just shows you how much business she does! The owner is super friendly! And her prices are reasonable! Only $13 to hem my jeans and if looks nearly like the original hem! And she will tell you if something cannot be done! Like my jacket could not have much let out in one area so she didn't charge me for the little she did let it out. Which it looks great!!! Turn around time is great. Brought in on Monday and it was done by Saturday! Very good work and reasonable! I will be coming back with any other items that need taken care of!!! She definitely has pride of work!!

    I cannot write enough good things about KN Custom Sewing. They did my baby sisters wedding day, her…read moreentire bridal parties dresses (including my bridesmaid dress) and then turned around & did my big day as well (a year later & remembered all of us!!)! The professionalism is incredibly high. I was given tips & tricks, they asked my opinion every step through the way - I suggest them to everyone I meet. They're incredibly affordable & amazingly quick with turn around! Right before my wedding I was stressing because I wanted my dress altered once more, and they made the time, called me & were just so incredibly kind about it. Never have I ever felt more at peace with putting such a big day in the hands of someone. I recommend to everyone!!! MY WHOLE FAMILY ADORES THEM & I will travel from 1hr away to continue to have their amazing services without a second thought.

    I would recommend KN Custom Sewing to ALL Brides and anyone else too! They were amazing. I called…read more2 months before my daughter's wedding in a complete panic as the alterations place that so many had recommended was a complete NO for me. They used RED ink on my daughters white wedding dress and acted like they had no clue. From the moment Colby answered my call he was a complete professional, calming my fears and assuring me they would be able to help. We scheduled our first appointment, and he and his team were fantastic. Made sure to make any adjustments that my daughter wanted, explaining different bustles, the way they do hems and why they would take in at the side seams instead of just down the back where the zipper was. At the end they made her dress fit perfectly and she was very comfortable ALL DAY. Colby - thank you so much for talking this mama off the ledge and helping make my daughters dress fit her like a glove. You are the best.

    I have finally mustered up the courage to warn others about my experience. Tran ruined my favorite…read morepair of jeans that cost me over $300. My biggest regret is not sending them to get professionally altered, I should've known better but i didnt know just how badly a simple request could go. I didn't want to wait the shipping time so I chose to support local and I hate to write a bad review of a mom n pop shop like this so I even went back to tell them I was unhappy with their work and all they said was "sorry. Go elsewhere then" with an angry cold glare and blamed me for requesting the original hem. Little did they know I already went to another alteration specialist and they told me the bottom was sewn too tight, that's why it looks so ugly and crumpled. Not to mention when I was still sitting there clearly upset, Mr. Tran kept asking me about my race. I'm not here to make small talk buddy I'm here to see if these people know how to make it right and the answer is no. I believe this was not a mistake, just a lack of skill. I wish someone had warned me out of the kindness of their heart not to trust Tran with expensive clothing that I can't afford to replace if ruined. I have attached pictures of the exact same pair of jeans below with the same alteration requested shortened and you can see the difference between Tran's work and a professional's. And this is after I even ironed them to try to make it better but clearly the damage is done. When I wear it, it looks permanently crumpled. The bottom of the wide legged jean was the most unique and beautiful part of the pant and now it is hideous and butchered. I am completely and utterly heartbroken. I had to save up to buy these jeans and now they are permanently ruined. Heed the 1 star reviews. You were warned.

    Tran needs wayyyyy more than 5 stars!!! She is a wizard. I don't know how she does it, but she has…read morecompletely changed my life with her work. As a woman over 6'2'', it's always been a struggle to find dresses/pants long enough for me. She has altered numerous pairs of pants to fit my long legs, AND she added 5'' to my wedding dress!!! I used to try on hundreds of items before finding something that kind of fits, but now I find things right away because I know Tran can make it fit me perfectly. She can do it all. She is absolutely one of a kind, and I am so incredibly grateful for her craft!
