Can't say enough good things about this place. Be is lovely and the staff are equally as great. My dress was perfect! Thank you so much

They were excellent. On time and professional. Very honest about when they could get my alterations back and they did a tricky alteration on my puffer vest. read more

Such a quick turn around! My suits look brand new after getting them fit to my body. Will come back for all other tailoring needs.

Be's Perfect Alterations really lived up to their name! We brought in a bunch of pants to be hemmed, and they look amazing. The hems look great, and they were ready early. Thank you! read more

I came in last minute with an urgent alteration project and Be was able to help me when other alteration places could not. She's been doing this for 30 years and cares for her customers. Super friendly, super responsive, and got it done exactly when I needed it. Thank you Be. read more

She does amazing work in a timely manner. Most recently I had her take a floral dress and turn it into a top and skirt. I'll wear both more frequently next summer. Be made it fit perfectly. read more

Sweetest, most efficient owner! She is quick and the quality of her work is excellent. I shopped around for a good alteration place, but Be's pricing was the best I found in all the surrounding cities. I will never go anywhere else! read more

Be is such a sweet, talented tailor. I went in to have my wedding dress tailored based on a friend's recommendation. My dress didn't need too many alterations, just the hem and taking in the bodice. Be did a wonderful job for a very reasonable price. Plus, she is such a gem to talk to. I brought my mom and future MIL to both fittings and Be's friendly personality and warm demeanor made the whole experience even more special. She is often working in the back, so it's best to call before you visit/walk in. Thanks, Be! read more

Be is magical and knows exactly how to fix split pants. I brought several pairs of pants that had seen better days. She fixed them up like new and gave me many more days of use. Best of all, she was super quick and friendly. My wife has used Be several times and each visit she is impressed. It's nice to have a reliable tailor right nearby! read more

Be is one of the most amazing and kindhearted people I have ever met. A friend referred me to her when I was looking for Bridal alterations. Off the bat, Be was helpful and took the time to understand my vision for the dress overall. Before the alterations, my dress was baggy and unappealing on me but after Be did her magic, it looked gorgeous. She made me feel gorgeous and all my worries about my dress went away. Please visit Be if you are looking for a seamstress who is in it to help others! She is worth every penny that you will spend. I cannot wait to wear my wedding dress!!! read more

Be is amazing. She is super sweet and does all my alterations well. She is often in the back so the best way to get attention is to call just before you arrive. Her prices are reasonable and she gets it done! I appreciate her gentle demeanor. B read more

Seven years of Be's Alterations--she's my go-to for most of my fashion seamstress needs. I can always rely on her. Love her kind soul and her hard work to pieces! I highly recommend Be for any or all of your alteration needs. read more

Be is the absolute best!!! I bought my wedding dress at a sample sale, so it was a size 12 (I'm prob a 4-6 in wedding dress sizes). I knew it would need a lot of work and it wouldn't be easy since it had a long train so it wouldn't be a simple thing as hemming the bottom. Not only did Be pretty much cut off half the dress and make it look sooo good, she is also the sweetest person!! Pricing was very reasonable, service was exceptional and my dress was my dream dress. Thank you so much Be!!! read more

Not so perfect. The mistake was corrected, no problem but the attitude thereafter is what warrants ONE star.

It's always a pleasure to bring my clothes to Be's. No job is too big ( altering sizes) or too small ( replacing buttons). And, she is very sweet and personable. Her prices are so reasonable I almost feel guilty! read more

I sometimes think that tailors are like car mechanics. They seem to almost always charge more than it seems they should, for less work than it seems they should be doing. After taking a dress with multiple layers and lots of gathered bunching to several tailors all wanting to charge me between 80 and 120 for the dress, I went to Be. She charged me only 40 to hem a dress with 4 layers, including taking in the dress at the top. Be is the "honest mechanic" in a sea of tailors who like to overcharge! As soon as I brought the dress in, Be was on the floor, marking it up. She was not afraid to get started! She had the dress ready in about a week (she was already swamped when I brought the dress in, it seems in this recession, her business has only gone up!), which I thought was quick given the fact that she was already working overtime. I brought my husband with me when I picked up the dress, and he just fell in love with this woman, she is adorable. She has been at this location for many years, and she is just a sweetheart! WHEN you decide to use Be, be sure to bring a checkbook or cash, she doesn't take credit cards. read more

I recently found Be's alterations and came in with a handful of stuff including a bunch of bikini alterations that I needed done quickly. She is so kind, does great work and got everything done quickly. I will definitely be a long time customer. Thank you Be! :) read more

Bee is the kindest and most generous human. That aside, she is incredibly skillful! Her work is meticulous and her turn around is unmatched. Support local small women owned businesses! Bee is the best in town! read more

Highly recommend Be! She is so sweet and kind. I went in with an XL Christmas sweater and I asked for her to add a ribbon to the back so I can make the sweater more fitted. I showed her one picture of the idea and she had me buy the ribbon. I needed the sweater done day of and she really delivered. $10 for this little addition. She is so reasonable. I can't wait to bring my next item to her. read more

Be is AWESOME!!! My sister is getting married this Saturday and being the bridezilla she is - she told me I needed to drop some poundage and bought me a size smaller than I am :((( I did lose the weight and the dress fit 2 weeks ago and of course being the foodie that I am, gained the weight back!! Desperate, I came to Be and she had told me that there wasn't much fabric to have the dress let out and the most she could do was maybe an inch more, anymore then she would have to add fabric from the hem. Take note this was a Jenny Yoo dress with a pleated bustier made with taffeta that had silk lining so ANY and I mean any additions would be very very obvious. I told her I needed it before Thursday (today) and she told me to come in on Tuesday to try it on and make sure that I'd be able to fit the dress since she could only let it out a tiny bit and she wasn't sure if I'd be able to breathe.... Anyways, I dropped the dress off on Friday, did a 3 day cleanse and came back Tuesday to try on the dress. Needless to say the dress was perfect! It fit amazingly and you couldn't even tell that she did anything to it. The taffeta pleats on the bustier were lined perfectly and everything was done for a really decent price. I am definitely coming back to Be, she is so sweet and really helped me out for my sister's wedding this Saturday. Tips: Her hours are 8-5 but if you call she's usually there later until 6 or 7 and will wait if you are like me and work until 5/6 and are desperate. Just make the call! However, I do have to say when she answers the phone she doesn't say "Be's tailoring" she just says hello, so just go with it and know you didn't call the wrong number haha. The plaza she's in is BLUE and across from Starbucks. She is on the 2nd floor above the hair salon and next to the yoga center and the parking lot is one way and very tricky to get out of to turn left onto 17th so BE CAREFUL. She is CASH ONLY - I didn't know this but luckily I had my checkbook and she had accepted my check :) All in all I'd definitely recommend Be :) Great work, great prices, and she's so sweet! read more

I've been going to Be since 2006. I needed a dress repaired after it had ripped... for a wedding I was in the very next day. I tried to sew it up and it looked like a butcher attempted to fix it! I must have called 10 other places who said it couldn't be done in time, before I talked to Be. She had me bring it in, was kind about my sad attempt to sew, and even said I could wait for it (I enjoyed a frosty from across the street). The dress came out as good as new, and she only charged me 10 bucks. Instantly, I was a customer for life! Since then, I've brought her numerous business suits, dresses, and pants that she has expertly fit to me. I am short and petite, with broad shoulders, and I can't tell you what a challenge it is to wear things off the rack. Be makes me feel like I can buy anything on sale or that is just my style without ever worrying that it will fit perfectly. Oh, and her prices are amazing! Earlier this year, I brought her two pants to hem, a skirt that needed a new zipper, two jackets that were one size too large, and a dress to take in and the total was $35... I couldn't believe it. She's the BEST! I recommend her to all my friends... and yes, she only takes cash. read more

Be is the best. She is not only great at her job but an all around lovely lady. I needed a rush job on a suit for a wedding that same week and she accommodated. Overall a fantastic person and a great seamstress too. read more

Be is the absolute BEST!! I literally have to have everything I purchase altered and Be is my go to!! She does an amazing job and I do not look like I am drowning in my clothes. She is my life saver and I am so lucky I have her!! To top it off, Be is honest, affordable and just the sweetest lady I know read more

Be is a life saver. I had to get a bridesmaid's dress altered because it was purchased without my being there in person (I'm traveling back home for my best friend's wedding so I couldn't be there for the dress fittings). She basically had to redo the dress, but it looks amazing and she was wonderful to work with. I will definitely bring all things I need tailored in the future to her because I want to keep giving her business. She is cash only and totally worth it! read more

I love Be! I take the weirdest things to her shop and she always does an amazing job! My boyfriend races road bicycles and had a couple nasty crashes that left us with some seriously damaged uniforms. Be cleaned them up beautifully! You would never know he had been in a crash! Her prices are extremely reasonable but she is cash only (I tend to forget that 9 out of 10 times) I recommend her to all my cycling friends and when the time comes where I wear something fancy that needs any kind of work I will definitely take it to her. Thank's for being awesome Be! read more

Was having the worst time trying to find someone to alter my bridesmaid dress until I found Be! I needed the dress taken in at the top and hemmed and she did it all for $60 which was like half what everywhere else I took it quoted me and she did an awesome job! Both times I went in for drop off and pick up, other women were there picking up their items and could not say enough nice things about her and they were so right! Two of them were on their 2nd bridesmaid dress they had brought into her and loved her work. When I went in to pick it up and tried it on, she said she took it in a little too much in in her opinion. I told her it was fine but she said no you need to be able to breath and be comfortable, I'll fix it right now. She let it out a little and had it back to me to try on again in less than 10 minutes! Such great service, super nice lady and my dress fits perfectly. I will definitely be back! read more

I've been coming to Be forever! She does a great job and her prices are reasaonable. She doesn't accept credit cards so bring cash or checks. read more
