This alteration shop shortened the length of my bridesmaid's dress within two weeks in wedding season and took my boyfriend's tux pants in for him and hemmed them to his exact specifications. They did a great job on both. The cost to get my dress hemmed seemed a little expensive to me, but my boyfriend's pants seemed priced very fairly! Would use this place again, maybe just get clarification on pricing first so I am not surprised. read more

I moved to Charlotte about 5 months before my wedding. I decided it made sense to have my dress altered here rather than fly back and forth to have it altered where I purchased it. I didn't know anyone in Charlotte to ask for a recommendation and I was terrified to let just any alterations shop take a scissor to my expensive purchase. I turned to yelp for help and decided on Anna's after reading the reviews. I chose Anna's on Park because they do the alterations for the bridal shop located right next door. I knew that they obviously had to have experience with plenty of wedding dresses. It took about 5 visits to Anna's to complete all of the alterations that I wanted but I cannot say enough about how happy I was with their work. They were very professional, had good recommendations and really did know what they were doing. I had my dress taken in around the chest and hips, had a bustle added, a belt sewn into the dress, had multiple layers of the dress hemmed and had lace added to the bottom of my dress. I thought the price I paid for the amount of work I had done was extremely reasonable. After I brought my altered dress home, something was bothering me with the fit in the hips. I took it back to Anna's to have the dress taken in a bit more just days before I was supposed to leave for my wedding. Much to my surprise, Anna's happily took the dress in without charging me extra and had it done very quickly. I would absolutely go back to Anna's for any alterations that I have in the future and I highly recommend them for wedding dress alterations. read more

So its go big or go home, and I am going BIG. I was in the market for alterations for my wedding dress, and since I bought it over a year ago and in Texas I was a little conserved about where I should go to get it done. I mean I couldn't take it to say Davids Bridal because I hadn't purchased it there. So that being said I yelped it and I was pointed in this direction. I was expecting to pay big, very big the dress was a size 14 and I am a size 10 so I imagined I would be spending at least $600 (my best friend had spent over $1000 on her alterations) I also needed a bustle and to have it taken in as I'm super short. Called and made my appointment went in and they got down to business! Two sessions was all it took at probably 20 mins each, they took it in added my bustle AND found a cheaper more cost effective way to hem the dress. I spent $233. I can honestly say it looks better then when I bought it!! read more

So Anna's has been around Charlotte for a long time, first over on East Boulevard where Sloan and a few other boutiques called home (great placement there). Now they have a much bigger space just off Park Road, and next to a major bridal store (great placement x2). They simply have a great reputation for competent and speedy work and my experiences are happily consistent. As a guy who wears a full suit 5 days a week, a good tailor is a necessity. The ladies out front at Anna's may not have perfect English at all times, but they have the skills when it comes to tailoring a suit. Pants hemmed to perfect specification with cuffs, no problem. Waist taken in, spot on. Jacket pulled in, we do that. Jacket cuffs taken in, got you there too. You just slide into a dressing room and then walk out and take the box stand for a quick measurement and marking. Minus a star for the mirror and box being right in the middle of the store and facing the parking lot. Modesty takes a back seat here. Luckily, I think the ladies taking the measurements have seen it all and take it in stride. If only the other customers did so as well. Turn around time is also fantastic. I recently had 3 suits altered within 3 days. I thought that was insane- especially if you have ever tried in-store alterations. Prices are all well within line for usual services- hems to pants $10. Waist tucks $10. Special requests and services are more expensive, though, so just consider what it is you are asking for. Overall, great place for professional and speedy tailoring work, this Charlotte long-timer has earned it's place in my go-to book. read more

Boy they suck! They butchered three shirts from Hong Kong. I had told them to remove the plackets before they took them up. NOPE! They just chopped away! And then all of a sudden their ability to speak English dissapeared! I WILL NEVER GO BACK!!!!!!!!!!! ddc read more

Just move to Charlotte and I needed a place to get my suit altered. They were able to see me and get the exact fit. They were very reasonably price and I felt like they had a very quick turnover time. Would highly recommend this place to anyone else who needs alterations done. Very professional read more

Here's the deal. I'm 5'7" - maybe 5'8" on a good day. I gotta get everything hemmed. Anna's does great work. They are affordable, but reliable. I've never had them screw up a pair of pants, and the service is quick and painless. I'm pretty particular about my clothes and I trust the ladies at Anna's with my best suits. For comparison purposes, I had two pairs of pants hemmed and also the waist taken in on one. $24. I've paid twice that for hem and waist alterations on one pair of pants elsewhere, and wasn't as satisfied as I was here. read more

Just like a good man, a good tailor is hard to find. But, I've heard such good things about Anna's Alterations that I just had to bring in a need-to-be-altered item and see what they were all about. Right off of Park Rd, Anna's is a spacious, airy shop with sky blue walls and tons of dressing & alterations areas. When I walked in with my way too long dress in hand, they promptly greeted me and asked me if I needed to try the dress on. Indeed I did and I hopped into a dressing room. 15 minutes later after expert pinning and a bit of friendly discussion regarding the length I was looking for, I was out the door with a claim ticket in hand. The dress I brought in needed to be taken up about 6 inches and the bottom band needed to be shortened and reattached. It would be ready in 5 days and when I asked the cost, they checked in the back (with the tailors, I assume) and replied it would be around $16. Fast forward 5 days and the dress fits perfectly. Elation aside, $16 for that perfectly done alteration is a great deal. And since Anna's is so conveniently located next to J Major's Bridal and some great consignment stores (Monarch, JT Posh) it's the perfect stop to get all of your clothes fitting just right. read more

If there was a way to give zero stars, I would. I had four pairs of pants altered here. After trying them on for the first time, they were too long. I brought them back to have them shortened less than a week after picking them up, and they told me they would charge me again. I would not recommend this location. read more

I don't know what black magic this shop uses but hot damn they make a short chubby guy like myself look like a million bucks after getting ahold of my dress pants! Paid $88.00 to get 4 pairs of pants tapered and hemmed. They made a pair of $20 TJ Maxx dress slacks look and fit as good as a pair of my Banana on me. You won't be disappointed. read more

It is hard to find a good alteration place. But after being referred here years ago, I have been a regular customer since. The service is always great, prices are reasonable and they have a great turnaround time. read more

I've previously been a customer of Anna's Alterations in University City, but as I don't need go to that part of town anymore it was time I tried the location closer to home. I'd ordered some clothes online and while the paints were the correct inseam they sold all their paints the same length. So in I walked with 4 pairs of paints, a shirt, and the pair of shoes I intended to wear with them all. One of the clerks showed me to the small stable of dressing rooms they have and I got changed. We talked about how much break to have to the jeans and the seamtress, rolled and pinned my paints accordingly. As all the pants were the same length I expected to try one pair and they would mark them all the same. Such was their attention to detail that they had me try on each pair of jeans and slacks (even the ones that were the same style from teh same manufacturer in different colors) so that they were all properly marked to be hemmed. Having the shirt tailored was easy exprience, just pull it on, stand in front of the mirrors and ask the seamtress to take in the shape so the shirt fit more V shaped. The only reason I hold back a star is their no display of prices for services. I walked in with my clothes, said what I needed done, and once all the adjustments were marked, was handed a ticket to come back in a week (it was mid June & they were busy). When I came back with a claim ticket they just told me how much to pay, so I have no idea what I paid for each service or how that compares to others. read more

I'm not the best at having clothes altered. It's just something that I don't think to do. I usually just end up taking the items to Goodwill and buying new. But I recently found myself with a grand total of ZERO pants fitting me anymore - all were too big. Not a bad problem to have, right? But also a pain as I didn't want to go and find all new pants. So in doing some research with friends and on Yelp, I found that Anna's Alterations was the way to go. I stopped in on a Friday afternoon and the place was fairly busy; that said, I didn't have to wait at all. I took my five pairs of pants into the dressing room, put each on and then went out to the main room where they proceeded to pin them to my (new) size. Total time spent in-store was 15 minutes. Located on Park Road, the space was clean, the employees efficient and helpful, and the prices were much better than I thought they would be. $61.00 to have five pairs of pants altered was very reasonable. Anna's has convinced me that I don't have to buy all new clothes; altering is a much more affordable option. I will be back in short order with more items that can be salvaged instead of donated. read more

Anna's is fantastic, and pretty much can alter anything you bring in. I have brought multiple pants there (dressy and jeans) and have never had an issue with the final result. I have also had a few dresses and skirts done as well. On top of that I brought my wedding dress in to be fitted. I bought my dress as a sample so it needed multiple alterations, as well things I wanted changed (taking off some beading) and they also did the bustle- which was difficult on the dress I had. I couldn't have been happier with everything they did! Although with specific employees some of the things I was saying was 'lost in translation' but usually one of the younger girls was around to clarify what I was wanting. I will always bring my items to Anna's read more

I'm pretty sure there's no job too daunting for Anna's. I've taken all sorts of clothing to them -- too big, too small, too long -- and they are always able to make it fit. It is pricy but you get what you pay for, right? Thanks for always saving the day (or, you know, my outfit), Anna's!! read more

They did a fabulous job on my dress pants!!! They take the time to adjust your pants on you higher or lower depending on your style. They came back just the way I like them. I'll be back!! PS... It's usually hot as hell, so wear something that allows for you to be comfortable. read more

Getting my clothes altered never occurred to me until I needed a better fitting dress to attend the upcoming charity ball at my college back in October. That was when I discovered Anna's. This is definitely the place to go if you need something altered! My experience with them was beyond satisfactory. I was promptly greeted by the friendly workers behind the desk as I enter through the doors. The woman who assisted me was extremely attentive as I told her what I wanted done. Afterward, she was more than happy to lead me to the fitting rooms so I could change into my dress in preparation for the pinning. I felt like a princess as I stood in front of the mirror with my dress on while an employee helped pin my dress to fit me better. Initially, I was only worried about the dress being too loose around my waist, so I only asked them to take the waist in; however, the woman at the desk suggested additional changes to make the dress even more flattering on me, like taking the hem up a bit. In the end, I decided to take her suggestions. I am so glad that I did! When I got the dress back, it fit me perfectly! The dress definitely would not have looked as flattering if I had not taken her advice. It felt as if the dress was specifically made to fit me! I loved the place and will undoubtedly go back if I need alterations for other clothes! The pricing was reasonable and the service was phenomenal! read more

You do usually get what you pay for except at Anna's, you'll get more! Their prices are very reasonable, their quality is perfect and the service is great. If you go during peak times and customers have multiple garments you can expect to wait but Anna's is always well staffed and someone will wait on you in a reasonable amount of time. You can't beat it for price, service and workmanship. read more

I recently had some summer dresses taken in at Anna's and the alterations were perfect! I had several things done to them and am so happy with the fit. I originally marked up the hem myself but they told me that they couldn't guarantee that the length would be perfect if they don't pin it themselves so I thought why not. I had Eva help me and she was really well versed and knowledgable about garment construction! We talked a bit and she even attended fashion design college in the UK! She was so sweet and the other girls too. They gave me great suggestions on my dresses and we took up some of the length on my straps too which was nice since I don't like low necklines. I'm really glad I spent the time to have them pin the dress on me! So guys really, my advice to you would be to take some time out and have them pin it on for you! You won't regret it! read more

Anna's has done a wonderful job for me over the years but especially impressed me with a special ball gown this year. They gave great advice and altered the dress in a two step process to make sure it was exactly right. They are so kind and nice, too! Highly recommend! read more

I've only used Anna's once but so far I do like them. I wouldn't say the woman i worked with were really experts on how things should fit but at long as you give the direction they do a good job. Prices are about average, same with turnaround time. read more

I've brought clothes here many times before for things like fixing holes and resewing the straps on my tops. I've tried other alterations places around town but nothing compares to the quality of work that Anna's provide. Sometimes it's hard for me to find exactly where the hole was because they did such a great job! Recently I needed an emergency alteration for a wedding out of town. My husband got his suit jacket fitted and I had my dress taken in and shortened. I was so amazed that they were able to do the work so quickly! And the expediting fee was very reasonable! Up north i would've had to pay ten times as much!! And the work they did was exceptional my dress fitted like a glove. Will update with pictures later when the wedding photos come in read more

They've been my go-to alterations shop for decades. The customer service has waned over the years. The attitude of the staff is somewhere between disinterested and annoyed, like they will help you but only if they must. Their policies aren't terribly customer oriented with the automatic upcharge if you want a quick turnaround (which is like less than 7-10 days...not all that quick). They also seem to use the language barrier as an excuse for poor customer service. I recently took a dress to them which they altered but it fit poorly after the initial alteration so they further altered without mentioning they were going to charge me again. And they really should have told me from the beginning the dress's design didn't allow for the changes I was hoping for. read more

I have been a customer of Anna's for years (don't ask me why). While their work is usually good, they have ruined 3 different items for me. I will never go back! The owner or manager (not sure which) is extremely self righteous and will not stand behind their work. Don't expect any sort of apology or remorse for ruining expensive pieces. There are other options besides Anna's. Be careful!! read more

SUPER EXPENSIVE!!!!! I got a long dress hemmed and the lady also convinced me to get the sides taken in a little (she said "its an easy fix and will look much better"). The turn around was 2 weeks and when I went to pay I thought the total said $26 which seemed reasonable but it was $76!!!! The "7" looked way more like a "2" to me. The alterations cost more than the dress! When I asked about the high price they got very defensive. The only reason I am giving them a 2 is because I have had an okay experience with them in the past. read more

I have had numerous clothing items altered at Anna's alterations and had a great experience, however I was recently charged $54 to slightly alter two shirts. on one of them they made a second alteration that was not asked for. Typically the alterations are spot on, but not this time. When I focused with the "lady in charge" no resolution was made. read more

I had a very positive experience here. I brought in a destination wedding gown and it was altered to my satisfaction in 6 days. Who does that? I received an additional 10 percent off because they have a deal with Bella Bridesmaid in South End. Bottom line, total came to about $45. read more

There's no doubt that Anna's does great alternations work. I daresay the best in Charlotte. In fact, J Major's next door brings Anna in herself to make wedding dresses fit like a glove. The business is organized, clean and dependable. Prices are pretty standard. At times, I've gotten some real attitude with service though. Otherwise, they would get five stars from me! read more

Over my first year of living in Charlotte, I've had many clothes altered. I typically have to alter any work or nice clothing because of my small waist and big booty, so a good tailor is essential. Overall, Anna's has been hit and miss for me. I've had some AMAZING experiences where they tailor what I'm looking for to perfection. Just picked up a dress two weeks ago that looks amazing. That being said, on the same pickup I got a skirt back that they altered way too tight in areas that I didn't want changed and the skirt no longer is flattering. It has become clear to me that some of the women who pin you are significantly better than others. They've been accomodating about fixing things that don't turn out right the first time, but I'd prefer it right on the first go. I still think they're the best option in town, but I would suggest giving pushback during pinning to make sure it's going to be exactly how you want it. Have confidence in the way you want it to look and make sure it looks right pinned before you have it sent back. read more

Quick turn around (1 week) for alterations. The seamstress gave me her honest opinions when it came to my alterations needs. I got a bridesmaid dress tailored which was a little pricey but the work they did was great. read more

I went to Anna's Alterations for the first time because the owners of Heng's retired. Without any warning or discussion, Anna's Alterations removed the manufacturer's label and the care instructions from three of the four pairs of pants that they altered for me. I now have no idea how to properly care for my clothing because they threw the labels away. In addition my clothing looks abnormal. Be very careful about trusting Anna's Alterations with your good clothing. read more

I can't give lower than one star so they got one. I took my wedding dress to this place and they destroyed it. Now in all fairness, I probably should've known better than to take a $10k wedding dress to just anyone. But google ratings said this place was good so I went with it. Dear Lord was google wrong. They cut the bottom of my dress without hemming it, they refused to take in the waist and they argued with me when I made requests. Maybe they didn't understand why I want a tight dress but who cares? If the customer asks for a tight dress, you give it to them. You don't argue that it's not possible. Especially when it is possible, because I took another shop and they made all the alterations I requested and fixed this place's mistakes!! Honestly just don't bother with this place. They cost the same as the professionals so just stick with the professionals. read more

My bridal shop recommended Anna's to alter my dress. Not only did they do a great job with the alterations on my dress, which I can only assume was a challenge because it involved a corset, but they did a great job with another dress I wanted to wear for my bridal shower. Very impressed with all the helpful staff and all their recommendations and expertise. Will be going back read more

I've been going here for about a year. I'm tiny and I have to have pretty much everything altered in some way. This place is absolutely the best in Charlotte. The girls are all very sweet and they know what they're doing. The prices are reasonable and especially on rush orders! I can't sing their praises enough.. They're the best! read more

I took my daughters pointe shoes here. The ribbons and elastic had to be sewn in. I went through specific instructions with them especially about not sewing into the drawstrings. While I was there another customer walked in and the owner was in such a hurry to wait on her she just did not pay attention to me and kept interrupting me saying, "Uh, huh, uh-huh, Uh-huh." When I went to pick up the shoes, everything was sewn into the drawstring and only one side of the ribbons in each shoe was sewn. Instead of apologizing, she became very defensive and told me it was my fault for not explaining what I wanted. She charged me an outrageous amount of money and there was a mark on the brand new satin shoe that was not there before. I will never go back. read more

This is the only place I take clothes for alterations. Even though I live in DC, whenever I'm visiting family in Charlotte, I bring my clothes here. I haven't had a bad experience yet; they always listen to what you want and are flexible about when they can get the altered clothes back to you. read more

I've had great experiences here - I've been to fix a zipper on a dress, buttons on shirts, sewing, and even wedding dress fitting. They finish their alterations by the time they say they will, and prices are more than reasonable. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Everything I have gotten altered or fixed has had a positive end result, and they did wonders on my lace wedding dress. I would definitely recommend Anna's to anyone in Charlotte looking for alterations - from small to big, they have a wide experience and will do a great job! read more

Pants hemmed for $8/pair and turnaround within a couple of days? I am never going back to hemming my own (or tripping over too-long pants)!

I read lots good reviews so i decide to try first time is just ok .Second time worse When I went to pick up the bras, they had let them all out, instead of taking them in. So, I obviously requested they be redone, and I had to wait an additional few days. I have noticed since that they did not sew the areas back up where they had taken out the strap. Terrible work. I have also brought in pants to be hemmed. Mostly, I have had good experiences but one time they only hemmed one leg. I am going to try to find someone better to do my alterations.the told me one price and in the day i pick up the price is different read more

Anna's ruined a blouse of mine. All they had to do was shorten it and they managed to screw it up. I will never recommend them.
