Evelyn did a great job alterating my wedding dress. She made my wedding dress fit and her alterations made the dress look like it wasn't altered. Great value in her alterating and customer service. I felt welcomed and had a great experience. Her working area is cute and comfortable. Her service was impeccable. I didn't have any issues but she made herself available if I had any issues before the wedding. Thank you so much Evelyn! read more

What an amazing experience!! After having my wedding dress "altered" by another seamstress who did nothing but leave pins in my dress, I called Evelyn in tears! She had me bring my dress in and she made my nightmare into an absolute dream!! Let's not mention she did it all in a matter of 10 days!! My dress fit me like a glove, I didn't trip over it and my bustle was perfect!! She then worked her magic on my DIL dress that needed altered and made the dress look even better than before!! Evelyn, you are my alteration angel!! Thank you soooo very much!! read more

Lord protect this woman with everything. One week until my wedding, 3 session alterations from Bianca's bridal later and my wedding dress was still not sitting on my body correctly. How it all started... My mother found Evelyn from her raving reviews here on Yelp to have my fathers pants hemmed. My father, in his 70s and not one to warm up to many people right away absolutely loved Evelyn. She made my father feel very special and comfortable. Fast forward a few weeks I pick up my wedding dress from Bianca's Bridal in Modesto and leave feeling very disappointed with the dress after 3 different try ons and alterations. After pointing out my concerns to the seamstress at Bianca's Bridal I was told to just wear dress tape. I was not feeling heard. Sunday, the week before my wedding day, 6 days before, I am panicking over my dress fitting on me. My mother gave me the number for Evelyn but suggested I call on Monday as its Sunday and she is not open. I called anyway and she answered! Calmly (not) I describe my situation and ask if I could bring my dress in tomorrow (Monday) she asked "well when is your wedding?"...."this Saturday", I replied... "Girl, get in here now!" she replied. I was in tears at her eagerness to help me. Within the hour we were at her home (my mother and I) and once I had the dress on and pointed out my concern she pins the back of my dress and says "this is too big on you, I need to take it in about 4 inches" My eyes got huge but I was not worried as I had all the confidence in the world she would fix my beautiful wedding dress. "Ill have your dress ready Friday at 11am". The day before the wedding. There was a point where my Fiance (now husband) was worried for me after my experience with Bianca's Bridal and even suggested I buy a back up dress just incase. Fast forward, I was able to pick my dress up on Thursday morning and it fit PERFECTLY. I truly mean it when I say Evelyn is a true savior for brides everywhere. She easily could have turned me away, said come Monday or just straight not answered my call on her day off. I am so grateful for her love and passion for what she does as she beams with pride in her work. Evelyn, Thank you. From the bottom of my heart. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. read more

Evelyn was very fun, she made the experience feel exciting, really got to know me and gave me the confidence i needed to bring with me on my wedding day !! read more

Evelyn altered my bridesmaid dress. When I called to make an appointment she responded very quickly and I was able to see her the following week. She also accommodated me by allowing me to bring my two kids. I wasn't going to bring my kids but my husband had to work last minute and I was so happy that she let me bring my kids. My daughter is 2 and she can be a hand full. Evelyn brought some clips out for my daughter to play with and she was very patient and friendly with her(:. Evelyn's place is very nice and comfortable. I felt very welcomed and had a great conversation with Evelyn. I just picked up my dress today and it's perfect! It's floor length like the bride wants and also not too long so that I don't trip over my dress. If you want a great atmosphere and great work on your alterations, go to Evelyn! read more

Wish I could give 10 stars! I figured I would get voicemail when I called, but Evelyn picked right up. Her home studio is functional and phenomenal. I called her for a very last minute mother of the bride dress alteration and she squeezed me in. Evelyn is charming and professional, and the dress turned out even better than I could have imagined. I will add to my post after the wedding, but honestly you would never know the dress looked anything different than the amazing modifications Evelyn made. The price was reasonable, which just made it that much better. 100% would use her again and would highly recommend. read more

I have been going to evelyn since 2021 to have alterations done for my mothers dress before my wedding. The place I had purchased my dress recommended her to me. Had I known I would have gone to her and had my bride-maids go to her as well. She is sweet and is passionate about what she does. I have seen her customize outfits for her customers. Her work is great and I can trust her. She is my go to person for alteration. read more

I found Evelyn and needed a last minute dress alteration for a wedding I was in (less than a week), I'm so grateful I found her! She had me bring in the dress and was able to alter not only the length but also the shoulders for me as well! The dress fit perfect, thank you Evelyn!! read more

I was referred to Evelyn and I'm glad I was!! She is TALENTED beyond belief. We girl talked, chatted and had a fun time while doing my dress fitting. She was thorough & very professional. While at my fitting she had a GORGEOUS blouse on display on a mannequin that I fell in love with -- she let me pick my fabric out & had one ready for me when I picked up my dress! The work that was done on my gown by her and Jeanie was stellar and the dress was in pristine condition! Beautifully altered, pressed and prepped. My bustle is gorgeous and my gown is flawless! The fit is spot on! The length is perfect and are zero issues. DO NOT fall for THINKING you need to take your dress to the alterations department provided by the Bridal boutique where you purchased. Give Eveyln Barnes a call, text or at the least check out her talent on IG. You won't be disappointed. I am excited to wear my dress for my wedding and will be wearing my new shirt for a party tomorrow! read more

Evelyn was amazing! She made a miracle happen with my sister's wedding dress. She made a size 16 wedding dress to a size 4! Many people had turned down the alteration challenge because the dress had so many obstacles (beads and details); however, Evelyn was the fairy Godmother and saved the day. She made it happen at a great price and with outstanding service! I highly recommend her! read more

I met Evelyn at the Joann Fabric store when I was shopping for quilting materials for my son's 1st grade teacher. I was completely lost at that store but Evelyn came over to me and immediately started to help me. She was so sweet. She help gather the fabric that best matched a pattern I liked. She gave me tips & latter helped find the batting tape for me too. This review isn't about a gown she altered but the kindness she showed me. She took her time to listen to me & gather the materials/fabric I needed. I could tell right away that Evelyn had a generous kind sweet heart. Now days, it is hard to meet a stranger at a store that will actually help you & guide you. We began to talk and I realized she wasn't a stranger anymore, she was someone genuinely willing to help. Thank you Evelyn! It was a pleasure meeting you. If I ever am in need of clothing alterations, I'll know exactly who to contact. God bless! read more
