I am not surprised Connie did a "stealth retirement" and I don't blame her! She will always be the best! Connie, thank you for the years of excellent work and Enjoy Yourself! read more

The shop has a strong floral smell. My closet, with my newly hemmed pants, now smells like the shop!

The best in town. Wont take my clothes anywhere else. always doing the perfect work. so happy with all my clothes i taken there

Love Blanche, she is a kind woman that has lots of experience. I'll always go back to this seamstress.

I have been going to Blanche (Connie) for years! She is the BEST! And I wouldn't go anywhere else. Julie Palm Desert read more

great seamstress - very professional - Fair pricing. She is a pleasure to deal with. Everything comes out perfect.

Blanche did an amazing job. I was so glad to find her. My dress turned out perfect. She is an excellent excellent seamstress! I love her.

Great seamstress. Nice shop. They don't take credit cards some come prepared. Good value too.

She's done many alterations for me and I've been happy with all of them. Getting ready to take more clothes to her

I gave her 2 or if pants to let the hem down and it took over 3 weeks to get them back which is ridiculous!

Blanche, is a wonderful seamstress, she went beyond, getting my alterations done,in time for my cruise. She even waited after closing time for me to pick up my alterations. read more

Connie is terrific. A real professional. And the quality of the tailoring is top notch.

Two pairs of jeans came out PERFECT the first time. And if you know me, that's incredible. I've always had the hardest time getting pants tailored, probably because I have weird crooked legs and a high waist line. I used to have to buy women's jeans, but no more. So glad I finally found a tailor in the desert and an expert one at that! read more

Ripped a sport jacket, and 'Blanche' looked it over, asked a couple of questions, and told me when it could be done by. And...it was! Well-done, can't see the work, and on time. Price was fair, too. Definitely will use her again. read more

Excellent tailor who does fantastic, high quality work at reasonable prices. She's also absolutely delightful.

Nice storefront, the job was done very nicely, and I expect to be doing more business with her

Connie is a fantastic seamstress, and very reasonably priced. I've taken all kinds of garments to her over the years to hem, tailor and repair, and everything looks stellar. Thank you for giving some of the clothes in my closet a longer life! Highly recommend. read more

Friendly and competent service! Convenient location. Reasonable price. She replaced a zipper in a sofa cushion.

Connie is a great seamstress! I've gone to her for over 10 years and every fits perfectly!

Great experience !! Beautiful workmanship!! Will only use blanche's !!!! Highly recommend!!!

Had a great experience with this shop. Good work, pleasant, a good value and promp. The work was really good and she gave me a great tip as to how to hang the dress so it would not stretch out. read more

I am vertically challenged and small in places. I practically need most of my clothes hemmed or taken in. I've been coming to the desert for over 20+ years and tried everyone. Connie the owner is exceptional at what she does. She remembers your name. She pays attention to detail and most importantly she is honest and fair in the pricing. Highly recommend you won't be disappointed read more

Was able to repair a t-shirt that everyone else said it can't be done. Looks like new.

This is the best Alterations and Tailoring in the Valley, I send all my friends and family members here because they are incredibly friendly, affordable and do excellent work in a timely fashion, even when you are in a pinch and need it NOW! I have since moved out of the area, and was visiting for a few days and they were able to get my skirt fixed for me before I left. (I should bring all my clothes in when I visit!) Blanche's is one of those hidden gems that usually only the valley natives know about....let's change that - everyone should benefit from this shop. :) read more

She is super nice! She does great work! Her prices are very reasonable! Finishes the work in a timely fashion. read more

Connie is truly the loveliest person and a very skilled seamstress. I am lucky to have found her. She has a keen eye for making clothes look their very best. read more

As someone who can sew very well myself, and have made wedding dresses, tailored suits, drapes, and more over the years, I found it difficult at first to hire someone to do what I could do, if I had time, which I do not. Over it! Blanche's does GREAT WORK, is timely, reasonable, and it's always a very pleasant experience to step into their shop and be greeted with a friendly smile. I cannot recommend highly enough! read more

See all

I have been in the desert my whole life and this shop has been here as long as I could remember. I would always bring small things to be fixed here, but when I had a wedding dress disaster this woman saved my wedding and my dress with her knowledge and skills. She was able to alter my wedding dress beautifully with only two weeks before my wedding. She is so sweet, knowledgeable, and professional. I love coming here! I know my clothes are in the best hands. I highly recommend blanches read more

Connie and her staff did an amazing job! I rarely write reviews but I am so pleased. This is my first time having alterations done. I thought it was a waste of money, so I wore store bought skirts that never fit my frame. (big hips, smaller waist). The change is phenomenal. The skirts I brought in fit perfectly. The only evidence of any alteration was were almost invisible darts that looks like it they part of the original design. I have no reference for time or price, but it was certainly worth it! The store only accepts cash or check, so keep that in mind. Also, the only thing that went wrong was that my clothes were finished a day after I was told. Make sure to call ahead or stress the importance of a deadline if you have one. read more

Great workmanship. Items were always done on time. I've been going to her for 9 years.

Had my bridesmaid dress altered here. She did an excellent job and was very affordable. My husband and I will be coming back for casual alterations from now on. read more

Connie is super nice and helpful. She has fixed a number of shirts and pants for me. Very happy with everything and would recommend her to anyone else. All the work done was great. A+ read more

Blanche's has been doing alterations for me since 1974. I recently had them add some material to one of my skydiving jumpsuits, and they fixed a couple of broken seams without me asking, for no extra charge. If there are nicer, more reliable people to deal with, I haven't met them yet. read more

AMAZING! I highly recommend this place! I had been extremely busy the last few weeks as MOH for my Bf wedding and came to this alteration place one week before the big day. I was worried I had put off my dress alteration too long and that they would not be able to fix in time. Wrong! These wonderful ladies sewn a rather beautiful corset to extend for my plus size figure. It fit so comfortably and they even went to purchase extra fabric from Joannes so they wouldn't have to take more off the bottom then arranged. They made sure I was 100% happy with their work! Reasonably priced 65$ which was right in my budget and finished in 4 days! I got so many compliments throughout the day, wore till midnight! Cash only. Would recommend to any and everyone! read more

Does exactly what I ask and perfectly! I brought an expensive pair of jeans for alterations and was a little nervous. They came out exactly how I wanted. read more

Quick turn around and WONDERFUL customer service! I will only come here and refer everyone I know who needs a seamstress!

I had received a bridesmaid dress that was too small, when I received the replacement the day before the wedding, it was the wrong color. I went to Blanche at 0800 the next morning, she was able to remove the zipper and create a corset back and have it ready for me by 3:00! It looks amazing!! Thank you! read more

This is the only place I go for any alterations the family needs :) Connie is very nice and knows what's she's doing :) I have come in here multiple times with clothing I need the same day altered and it's never been a problem each time the work is perfectly done and the prices keep me coming back ! It's a cozy spot all locals should know about read more

I was 45 min away for a appointment and my pants separated at the leg. Walked in and they fixed it up right then and there. $10 what a deal for such fast service!!!! read more

Would give 0 stars. The lady immediately told me that the alterations I was looking for could NOT be done. She said the dress was just too small. After assuring me it was impossible I left crying and very discouraged. I drove away and passed another place which was 5 star and when I tried on my dress she said oh this is easy. She began immediately. 3 weeks later and 1 fitting my dress is absolutely PERFECT. I would NOT recommend Blanches to anyone. That lady's attitude was terrible. Dont waste your time just go a few doors past to the next place they are a true life saver and 5 stars. read more
