My dress was perfect! Thank you Annette
Laura L.

When I first contacted Annette, I was in a bind and needed my dress altered 1 month before my wedding day. I called to see if she could see me within the next 15 minutes, and she said she was working in the chicken coop so I had to come by in 30 minutes instead. I thought that was the cutest thing! Annette worked on my dress and I absolutely love it! She had 12 layers of tulle and lace to hem several inches. She was so quick and did a very good job. Over the next month, I brought my 4yr old sons suit, my dad's dress pants and finally my mother's dress to her. She got them done quickly and professionally. My mother's dress was stunning! In order to shorten it 7", she took off all the beads by hand and had to machine stitch the mesh. It looked gorgeous! I can't wait to share photos from the wedding. All in all, for the price and experience, definitely 5stars. Annette is the sweetest little grandma, I enjoyed going to see her. I'm overjoyed at how quickly she got all the alterations done.

Annette is a wonderful find! I needed to alter a vintage 80's prom dress so I could fit into it for a costume party. These dresses are junior sized making it tougher for a mature woman to fit into a small size bodice. I called Annette on a Friday afternoon, and she was able to see me within the hour. Annette came up with an amazing corset idea to replace the zipper and prevent the need for more satin material to be sewed in. By Monday morning my dress was ready! Her service and dress work is impeccable. I couldn't be happier with the results. I will definitely be a returning customer and recommend Annette to all my friends.

I am a 4"9 adult and I'm considered "special size." I've been to plenty of alteration places, but I've never found a place that was as quick as her. Her prices are also reasonable. I bought a dress online because I have such a hard time finding dresses at stores. The dress was too long and my titz were popping out which was inappropriate for a Cotillion (18th birthday). Annette was able to alter my dress within 24 hours. I liked her work so much that I came back within the same week and got my Culottes trimmed by her. I am so happy I found her service and I will definitely be coming back. Thanks again Ms. Annette!

Hello, I have a bridesmaids dress I need hemmed. Wedding is on November 21st would you be able to help me with that? It is a floor length chiffon dress that I need shortened. Would you be able to get it done before the wedding date?

I believe so, they did that for me and got it done within a week.

I asked this question a few days ago but your answer was cut off. I have a size 42r leather jacket. It's too big; the sleeves are way to wide and long. Is it possible to take it down to a size 40r and take in the sleeves?

You will have to

Their alteration work is very good for what I needed. The price is reasonable and fair to my budget. Her son did all of the communication and measurements and helped me to make the best decisions regarding my suit (shirt, coat & pants). The final product was very clean and I received a lot of compliments during and after my daughter's wedding. I highly recommend Golden Thread Alterations to anyone who needs alteration work (for weddings, senior ball, celebrations, etc.).

We used them several years ago to alter a wedding vest and it ended up being too tight, but we…read moredidn't make a fuss. Whatever. I went back yesterday to have a dress hemmed. My mistake. 1. The front desk man/receptionist was polite, helpful, and charming. 2. There were several women, presumably seamstresses, who I smiled at who simply looked through me as if I didn't exist. 3. The price for hemming a semi full-skirted dress was $60 which is more than the dress cost. 4. When I balked at $60, one of these women spoke in a foreign language (Vietnamese?) and the man relayed to me they could do it for $50. I shook my head, smiled, and said, No, thank you. 5. The man then said that $45 was the lowest they could go. I had NO interest in bartering for the best price. I said no again, and prepared to leave. The woman, who never glanced at me once, shrugged and walked away. Her body language made it clear she couldn't care less. 6. Which is, of course, fine. They have no need of my business. After looking at their website, they obviously are high end alterations aimed at an Asian audience. Which is fine. Just be aware that if you aren't Asian and don't have a high-end job for them, you will be treated dismissively by the seamstresses. Their website claims they are a third generation business, yet only the man speaks English, supposedly. To top off my review, I would like to add that I do NOT want to be told one price, then have that price lowered twice when I am ready to walk away. Set a FAIR price and stick to it. I will either pay it or walk away, no harm, no foul. Instead, I am left feeling like I would have been a fool if I had accepted the first price they quoted. This is not a market stall in a country where bartering is the norm. I will not return to this business and I will not recommend it to friends. ‍
