Just AMAZING. I've gone twice to alter some dresses for me to wear to Disney with my family and they turned out just gorgeous. Everyone complimented them. Martha is so talented! I usually go with some kind of idea but not all the way, and she comes up with how to finish it up or make it better. She's an artist!! A simple $20 formless dress is now a beautiful Belle inspired dress, with so much class and elegance! She also did our masks to finish the look

I was so apprehensive about getting my wedding gown altered, however Martha was so warm and welcoming. She is such a kind and caring person. And she's also a fantastic seamstress. She completely delivered on what I wanted. Her prices are also so reasonable -- a great value for a fantastic service!

Picture of my wedding dress pre alterations. (Torso area was sheer, straps needed to be adjusted and length also needed to be adjusted)

I absolutely loved working with Martha. She is very professional and passionate about her work- and it shows. She has altered a simple dress for me and after my first experience I took my wedding dress to her for alterations and I'm so glad I did. She provided great feedback from her experience and told me what would work and what wouldn't work. Over all, my wedding dress came out perfect! I highly recommend Martha! Payments, scheduling fittings and timing of dress being ready was all superb!

Martha contacted me right away and was flexible in meeting with me about a hem for my daughter's prom dress. She gave me a good price and really tried to determine exactly what we wanted. She had the dress done before schedule and did an incredible job! I recommended her highly.

Had a maid of honor dress I bought online that needed to be altered. Found Martha and buttons and thread here on yelp. So happy with the finished product and she was wonderful to work with. She hemmed and shortened my sleeves and it came out great! Highly recommend

So glad I decided to come here & alter my wedding dress. She did a FANTASTIC job!! I definitely recommend Martha if you're looking to alter anything. She truly is amazing and so sweet! I'm so happy I found her on yelp. I wiupdate my review with pictures after the wedding :)

Perfect stitching. Already washed them, too!

Lovely, home-based alteration shop in West Kendall. My favorite thing about home-based businesses is the personal experience, which we definitely received. Martha, the owner and seamstress, took us in on Christmas Eve morning and offered to have the hemming of our pants ready for pick up the very next day. Of course, I declined, because who should work on Christmas?! But the fact that she wanted us to pick up our garment whenever it was convenient for us, even on such a huge holiday, shows that she truly cares about her clients needs. The pants in question were hemmed to perfection. In fact, her work was of a quality higher than the stitching the pants originally came with! I'm currently rummaging through my closet to see what I can finally get fixed up now that I found Martha! Call her up and make an appointment. You won't be sorry-- her timeliness, customer service, and skill TRULY can't be beat.

Perfectly altered dress pants for a wedding my son walked. The pants were HUGE on him to begin with. Now he looks great! :-)

See all

Carolina is a talented, passionate artist who made my wedding dress dreams come true! She took my…read moremom's wedding dress (from the 1970s!) and created an entirely new, modern dress for me. Everything about it was perfect. I can't say how very much I loved working with her to create such a beautiful dress for my wedding day. Trusting her with my mom's dress was the best decision I made!

This past weekend I was trying on the dress I got for my best friend's welcome party for her destination wedding. The zipper got stuck, then it broke, and my panic for having a new dress for this occasion in under a week set in. I used Yelp assistant to put in a request to local alterations spots and let them know I had a broken zipper off the track of a formal dress and I needed it fixed before Tuesday. This request was sent on a Saturday afternoon, so to be honest I was not very hopeful of any replies but Carolina replied right away. Her studio is right by my apartment so she told me to take my dress in right then to see if it could be fixed. She fixed the zipper on the spot, and when we actually tried on the dress we realized that I did not fit. Welcome to my nightmare. She had the brilliant idea to alter the dress and add fabric on the sides to give me the inches I needed. The result is essentially a custom dress that I am obsessed with, and at a great price. I am definitely going to keep Carolina on speed dial for any of my alterations needs as she is super sweet, detail oriented, and very well priced. Her studio is located in a blue building on Mediera and there is street parking right in front. Thank goodness for both request a quote and Carolina for saving my dress fiasco.

I really wanted to like this place. I brought in 6 curtain panels (originally 98") to be hemmed to…read more91", and while their price was the best quote I received, it turned out to be a total waste of money. I noticed right away once I hung the first panel that something was off -- the curtains measured **only 88"**, a full **3 inches shorter** than requested. One panel was even shorter than the others. I measured everything using a contractor-grade measuring tape and documented it with photos and video. When I went back to show them the problem, they dismissed my concerns and insisted on using **their own 30" measuring stick**, which clearly didn't match my measurements. Even then, one panel measured 90.5" -- still not the 91" I had paid for -- and yet **they refused to offer a refund or any real solution**. To make matters worse, I later looked them up on Yelp and realized **this exact issue has happened to others** -- inaccurate alterations, flawed measuring, and zero accountability. I really wish I had read those reviews before trusting them with such an expensive project. They were friendly at first, but when it came to making things right, they did absolutely nothing. I had to buy new curtains and was left with six panels I can't use. **My advice: If you need anything precise done, avoid this place.** Bring your own measuring tape if you go at all -- or better yet, take your business somewhere with more professionalism and consistency.

They might be good dry cleaners but I had two pair of pants hemmed and both were badly done. I…read morebrought my concerns to them and they were going around in circles trying to implicate that it was all in my head. I ended up doing a better job myself after leaving their business.
