I have used Ms Nancy for several alterations from two very formal weddings to casual t-shirts... sometimes with very little time to get the work done for me. This woman is the absolute best I have found, and she knows so much about achieving the desired look that I'd never think of. She knows just where to nips in and where to let out. She has even found fabric to blend seamlessly with my projects. She only has "2 year til retirement," but she's said that for the last two. I think she just really loves what she does. read more

this seamstress was recommended to me by a family member so I was looking forward to getting my bridesmaid dress altered. The dress required more work than just hemming but she said that she's confident she'd do what the dress needed to fit me. we scheduled my pick up day so when I showed up to pick up my dress she realized she wrote down the wrong date. when I came back the following week to try it on , it felt like the dress hadn't changed at all. At this point , I'm trying to figure out how to tweak it to fit comfortably and she got so upset with me. She said she'd have to change everything and demanded that I must pay her $50. I could not believe what was happening - I wanted to get out of there so bad that I didnt argue and payed her. When I came back (again) to pick it up (again) - I didn't even try it on. I was so embarrassed by how she made me feel all I wanted to do was leave. The quality of the alteration was not worth the $250 she charged me. read more

I had an evening gown altered by Nancy for my Niece's wedding and she did a fabulous job. She was patient and took her time fitting and measuring the dress to my needs. I had some complicated alternations and she mastered them all. Very experienced and knowledgeable seamstress. In addition, she has a very nice shop with spacious dressing rooms. read more

Nancy did an amazing job with alterations on my Mother of the Bride dress! It fit perfectly and she made it even more flattering with some adjustments to accentuate my curves. The dress had an all over embroidered pattern and you couldn't tell the dress wasn't made that way from the start. Very talented seamstress and you can trust her attention to every detail! read more

Nancy is amazing! She altered my wedding dress within a month, and it needed cups added, the shoulders realigned, and so much hemming. It turned out beautiful and I would recommend her over and over again. read more

I took a jacket I made to Belle Tailor and was more or less pleased with the experience. I felt the prices were mostly fair and the quality of the work done was excellent - besides one thing. I specifically asked to have patches sewn on to the jacket pocket without going all the way through rendering the pockets useless. She said it would be a lot of work but for extra $ she would do it. When I picked up the jacket she said she forgot or it was taking too long so she sewed right through the whole jacket just like I asked her not to do and so now my pockets aren't functional anymore. She took 3 weeks to do the work we decided and when I went to pick it up she offered to fix the patches on the pockets but said it would take a couple more weeks. I said no I want my jacket back. She refunded the $ for those patches but still... made me not want to go back. She was very friendly though. Just decided to not do what I asked because it was too time consuming despite us having an agreement. Her shop! Her choices! I get it. read more

I have used her for years! thw first time I went to her, I wanted her to take it up at the shoulder. she made a fem]w suggestions and I said okay do it. my dress looked so much better and couture. Ever since then, I only use her and while I have an idea of what I think should be done, she does it so much better. It is truly an art form for her. She has done pants, dresses, jackets and my mother of the bride dress. read more

Nancy did an amazing job on tailoring my wedding dress. She added cups to the bust, shorten the front, added a bustle, and more. She is very attentive and pays attention to detail. I brought her my dress a month prior to my wedding and she got it done the weekend before. I would highly recommend her! read more

She ruined my brand new dress. Didn't own up to the fact that she did, she charged me the full price too. Unfortunately I'm out of money and time to do anything about it. read more

I had a long dress altered for my son's wedding and Nancy was very helpful when we brought it in. She hemmed the dress and let the top out about an inch. When I picked the dress up it seemed a bit long on the left side. She immediately dismissed my comment and said it was perfect. I pulled the dress up at the shoulders and thought it fell to a better length. She had already left the room went behind the curtain where she works. She heard me expressing my concerns to my husband. She did not address my concerns. She made a comment, "oh you are still here? I thought you had left! I did and I will never go back. Nancy was very rude! read more

Just picked my wedding dress up, and it looks amazing! I purchased my dress from Something blue, and was worried about everything I need to alter, but she did a great job. We added a modesty piece, brought the sleeves up, took in the wrist area and waist, hemmed the dress a couple inches, and bustled the dress! read more

Ms. Nancy is great. She turned my old dress, that was waaaay too small, into a corset dress for me and it looks great. She is very nice and very pantient. I will go back to her for any other alterations i need. She is cash only and pay in advance, but don't worry, you will get what you ask and pay for. =) read more

HORRIBLE experience. Do NOT waste your time or money here. This lady doesn't listen AT ALL and makes changes/alterations that were NOT discussed. Don't trust her with any of your nice/expensive clothes because she will ruin them and you'll end up having to take it somewhere else to be fixed. read more

Nancy remembers me every time I come in and is so sweet and very professional. She's hemmed pants, slacks, the neckline of some dresses for me and my husband's suit. She always does a great job and does the job on time, every time. She's also reasonably priced and has good hours for pick up and drop off. read more

Nancy was very nice and her work is beautifully done. She's not as cheap as Chinatown, but she is convenient to the Clear lake area. I had 3 pairs of pants worked on and it was $30. I would definitely go back! read more

Nancy is wonderful!!! I tried other places in the Clear Lake area before finding her and was upset when they hemmed my pants incorrectly. Nancy hems my pants perfectly, has shortened sleeves on suit jackets, taken in the waist.....she knows how to do everything! Her prices are reasonable for the area. She does not accept credit cards, so take cash. She always remembers my name and my husband's. Been using her for years now! I even drive to League City for her now that I live in the Galleria area because I trust her with my clothes. read more

I cannot express HOW MUCH I LOVE NANCY!!! I get off work at 6 and thats when she closed but she was willing to stay late to work with my LAST MINUTE dress. I needed it in 2 days and she worked and finished it before the due date. I walked in and she was super friendly, she automatically knew what I wanted, and she was just absolutely fantastic! I recommend her to anyone who needs alterations done!! She is amazing!! read more

Nancy is one-of-a-kind! I drive up from Galveston island whenever I need something tailored - she is THAT good! Very precise, gives great advice and is always very professional. Her rates are reasonable for the high quality she produces and she can work quickly if need be. I definitely recommend her! read more

I can't say enough great things about Nancy. She is as sweet as she can be (always remembers me, my daughter and the rest of my family even if it's been a year since our last visit). She does an outstanding job as well. We have brought her many prom and homecoming dresses over the last few years and every time they come out better than we could have hoped. She is an artist! She also is understanding when I procrastinate too much and need something altered on short notice. It's always ready when she says it will be. Highly recommend her and her work! We wouldn't trust anyone else with our alterations! read more

Nancy is awesome! Very friendly. She tailored a suit for me 2 years ago and remembered me when I returned to have her do another one 2 years later! She does great work if youre willing to wait a couple weeks. Highly, Highly reccomend!!! read more

Love this shop! She has done pant hems for me previously. I took a dress in to get hemmed for a special occasion, she offered to also take it in on the top. I'm so glad that I listened to her suggestion. It was exactly what it needed!!! My dress was perfect!! read more

Been going there for a while and now she is taking advantage of my repeat business. She's charging more and items are not ready on time. Shoddy work. She left a mark on my clothes from her tailor's chalk that had to be dry-cleaned out! She had the nerve to say it was my fault! Went to South Shore Cleaners. Excellent tailor. Well done and on time with no damage! read more

Been coming to Nancy since moving to the area several years ago. She is outstanding & I trust her to alter anything & she has. From a simple hem to major alterations on a black tie gown - never have to worry with Nancy. She will also help you out if you need it done asap (for an added cost of course). My only complaint is that she is expensive but like anything you get what you pay for. read more

Nancy was so great! She stayed late to get a suit ready for us overnight and did an amazing job! Thank you, Nancy
