Most places are hit or miss and I leave clothes concerned about the results. From the start, I had confidence in Kelly. She took the time for me to try the jackets on and knew what the length should be based on the type of jacket. I've been a couple different places where the people didn't know how things should look, only asking what I wanted and if that looked ok. I left two jackets with her to hem the sleaves. My jackets came back in a week and the sleeves were $25 each. They are perfect. The stitching is excellent, the fit is exactly how it should be and the jackets don't look hemmed. The sleeve cuffs are straight and look original. I'll be back here for all my alteration needs.

I've spent cash on alterations for two sport jackets and at least four pairs of pants. This was expensive for me but getting your clothes done by a professional always will be worth the money.

As soon as this is done, I will take my clothes to his recommended dry cleaners. Be aware that the hours here say they are open on Sunday. This is incorrect. The website doesn't have the latest updated schedule. Your best bet is to always call ahead of time if you are under a time crunch. In my case, I was called Friday and was told my clothes are ready. Unfortunately, I'm not anywhere near that area so I'm going to have to pick it up on Tuesday because Monday is a holiday. Planning ahead works for me, but many people wait until the last minute and alterations are one of those things you need time for. Other places may accommodate you, but I'm sure you won't get the same quality. Actually I just realized that this was sitting in my drafts waiting for me to finish my overdue evaluation. The clothes were done very well and they are still looking good. One pair of pants that are my favorite now look very well on me. I use them a lot. Can't find any faults with their alterations. I definitely will use them again even though they are pricey. You get what you pay for here no doubt about it. I've read the reviews about this establishment and all the negative comments are from people who don't understand work, quality, speed, & cost.

I wear these pants with different shoes i need them where i ask. Recently, i went for some pants to be tailored and cover the heel, i saw her pin them to cover the heel but got the jean jumpsuit back and they are high-waters when worn with the heels i had them tailored to. she only accepts cash, which is quite inconvenient and after this last instance where she wouldn't give me my clothes unless i paid for then all at once. I won't be back. If I want to pay for 2 of the 3 pants i and hemmed, why can I not if I have the money. She wanted to hold them hostage unless I paid for them all. If I had all the CASH to pay for them all, I would've. After one or two visits, her service and kindness leaves. I think my main problem is that you should listen to the customer. As a young individual who enjoys fashion, my standards are not going to be the same as an older woman and i enjoy the style and length that i like and request for.

When I picked up the suit, I was told there wasn't enough material in the jacket to loosened it so they just fixed the pants. I tried to explain that it was a suit and only fixing the pants didn't help me at all. The man that works there said I should have told him not to fix the pants, if they couldn't fix the jacket, but i didn't know until I picked up the suit and I was initially told both could be altered. He said he didn't care and I believe him. ****** If they didn't tell me there was enough material in the jacket to loosen it, I wouldn't have left the suit to be altered at all. ******

They compare my shirt to a real medium and all of my shirts were like XXL ... seriously! Express alteration told me they would need to rebuild the shirt again using the fabric from each shirt.

Drove about 20-25 minutes to this location for a simple hemming of three pairs of pants. I was told…read morethe turnaround time would be about three weeks, which seemed unusually long for basic alterations. When I asked about the timing, the owner showed me the amount of work currently in progress behind the counter, which appreared to be a relativily small volume (about the size of half a closet). Based on that, the extended turnaround time was surprising. I was offered a faster turnaround of one week, but with an additional $100 fee. That pricing felt excessive for straightforward hemming. The customer before me appeared to be receiving a quicker turnaround at a lower cost. The customer was receiving her item in five days for $50.00, which added to the confusion about consistency in pricing and timelines. I ended up leaving without service. I would recommend calling ahead to confirm turnaround time and pricing before making the trip.

She is very busy and her turn around time is usually 3 weeks. Her work is worth the wait. If you need a garment done properly, especially expensive items, she is the seamstress to go to. Just plan ahead. Her shop is in the back of the center. Can be hard to find at first.

So, when this woman was rude to me when I called, I gave her the benefit of doubt. When I entered her shop with a smile and polite greeting and experienced more rudeness, I bit my tongue. But, when I was completely dismissed and told she would not alter my dress, I reached my limit. I have had similar alterations done to a different dress in the past, so I know they could have been done. She just did not want to do it and ended the consultation. Very, very disappointed.

I used Tide Cleaners in Sarasota for years and had great experiences, which is why I continued…read moreusing Tide after moving to Brandon. Unfortunately, the Brandon location has been a complete disappointment. I brought in an investment piece I wear as a corporate trainer. The dress and matching belt are the same fabric and color and were cleaned together to maintain a consistent, rich black. Due to the Brandon location's boiler being down for several weeks, my items were transported to another location for cleaning. When they were returned, my matching belt was missing. I went back multiple times. They were unable to locate it. There was no resolution, no replacement, and no meaningful accountability. This is unacceptable, especially when customers are trusting you with high-quality, expensive clothing. The difference between the Sarasota and Brandon locations is stark. If you value your wardrobe, I would strongly recommend avoiding the Brandon Tide Cleaners and choosing a different location or a different cleaner altogether.
