    Finished sachets

    This was my first visit to Cary Tailor Shop. I was trying to make sachets for Christmas presents and my sewing machine broke down. Given the time crunch, I went here to see if I could get help. The lady who was helping customers (I wish I had gotten her name) was very patient and kind about my project. I had 60 cloth squares I needed sewed around 3 sides making 30 pockets for filling. She gave me a really good price for the job and offered a three day turnaround. When I picked up my 30 squares, I saw that she had, indeed, sewed around three sides of each but she also turned them inside out and pressed them so all I had to do was fill and sew up the fourth side. i was blown away that someone would do that for me. It saved me a lot of time and effort, and I wanted to write a review so people would know how Impressive she was. Cary Tailor Shop will always be my goto place for alterations.

    NEW HOURS Was there Monday (1/9/2017) and they have new operating hours. Closed Monday and Sunday. Great place for alterations at a reasonable price. Payment options are cash or check. Used to have a great website too, seems not to be working.

    Bridesmaids dress hemmed

    Love this place! I have gotten a bridesmaids dress hemmed here and my mom has gotten a formal dress hemmed also. They do such a great job, reasonably priced, and friendly! Also plan on getting my dress done here, great place and would definitely recommend.

    Perfectly done from a 36" waist to a 34" waist!

    An excellent & very reasonably priced tailor. At 5'2" I have tried my share of tailors and this is by far the best of them.

    Fantastic service. I took a sentimental item to have a zipper replaced. It looked BETTER THAN new!…read moreTotally worth the price.

    I had used Skylark for a couple of years as they WERE a great taylor but now I will never use them…read moreagain or send friends to their business as I had done for so long. Here was my experience. I had 3 pairs of jeans hemmed at Skylark at a price point of about $30 a jean. A total of $90 is what I spent. I took one pair out of town and realized that they were still too long and so therefore, I could not wear them. All three pairs were still too long on me. When I was finally able to go back to their shop, the owner said that she would not do anything to correct them as it had been passed 15 days. Of course I did not know that there was a 15 day period! She tells me that it is written on the back of the little card they give you to pick up the items. When I told her that I wasn't told this when I brought my jeans in she said it was on the back of that card. Well, I didn't know I was supposed to read the back of the card for information! Also, why put it on the back of that card instead of also telling your customers?? Obviously, they don't want to tell the customers but then use this as an excuse not to fix their work. I asked her if she would fix the jeans as a one time courtesy since now, I know about the policy. She said again that I should have read the back of the card. Then said, "no". I would have to pay again to have the jeans altered which again were not done properly the first time. I would have to pay another $30 a pair which would add up to a total of $180 ($90 I paid the first time plus another $90). I am beyond disappointed. I understand this is their business and they can do what they want BUT when you have regular customers supporting your business and this is the way you treat them, I can no longer support it as it's clear you don't want nor appreciate my business. I will definitely not recommend Skylar anymore. What a shame.
