    Before: Top I came in with to want to make a set out of :,)

    A huge thank you to Angel for custom making my birthday outfit! I found a vintage top at a flea market and thought it would be super cool to make it into a set and brought it in to see if that could happen, and Angel said yes! She gave a thorough consultation with a price quote, and was super kind throughout the process. She recommended me to bring in any tops or skirts that had a pattern I liked to make my custom set. During my fittings she was very attentive and made sure I was happy with the fit. After seeing it on I was obsessed with how it turned out and got so many compliments! I've gone to her for other alterations this past year and would definitely recommend her she's been my go-to! It was def a bonus to know she was able to make this custom set for me! Pic of the top I came in with and pic of the set she made for me out of it!

    It's possible to hem stretch fabric and have the seam lay flat.

    Just a heads up if you are getting stretch fabric altered here: I had chosen this shop for business on two other separate occasions. I had three athletic, stretchy shirts hemmed here (dropped off on 8/16/22) along with some other repairs on shirts/tops. Unfortunately, my stretch athletic shirts all had puckered seams. I can sew, and have a sewing machine, and am aware that puckered seams are a pitfall of stretch fabrics. This is why I paid for professionals to hem them. I went in to ask about the hems today. I said although they did great work on my other clothing, I pointed out the puckering on the shirts, and politely asked if it would be possible to fix them. I believe she said something to the effect that it was inevitable when hemming stretch fabrics and that this is what I wanted. She ironed them for me and told me they were fixed. I did not feel like having an argument over 30$ of alterations so I just took the shirts and left. I felt I gave them an opportunity to make it right before I posted this review.

    I got 5 pairs of pants (two of the 5 pictured), 1 pair of shorts, and a long sleeved T shirt tailored. Everyone was very friendly and they did a perfect job. I wasn't sure how much to get shortened/tightened and they helped me out to craft some great items! Best part -- cost effective and she got everything done in less than a week!!

    I had five pairs of pants hemmed and they were perfect. Quick turnaround in getting the work done.

    She is very accommodating if you need something fast, although her normal service is pretty quick turnaround.

    I purchased a dress for a friend's wedding that needed a few different alterations, and the dress…read moreshop recommended Donna so I figured I'd go there since she's probably familiar with the dresses. This was my first time getting a gown hemmed so I went in without expectations. It was too long so I needed the bottom hemmed but wanted to keep some of the train, and it needed to be taken in on the sides as well as another loose fabric piece needed to be sewn down. I called in advance in case I needed an appointment and they answered right away and assured me I could come in at the time I requested. I arrived and there was one other customer she was finishing up with but I barely had to wait at all. Donna was extremely friendly and listened to all of my concerns about the fit of the dress and made suggestions for the hemming. She pinned it all up and I was out of there pretty quickly. She asked when I needed the dress by and assured it would be ready a few days in advance and gave me a ticket with the quoted price on it. I didn't receive a call when it was ready but I was never told I would, but just something that would be nice. I'm sure it would have been ready by the day I was told but I ended up picking it up a few days later. I wasn't able to make it by during the store's regular business hours but I called and thankfully Donna was still there after closing. The dress came out perfect and I was really happy with the service. I would recommend Donna's Tailor Shop to anyone else needing a formal gown hemmed.

I left it with her agreeing that she would hem it a certain way, but then I got a call later that night from her cousin suggesting another way. I did not understand what she said so I said fine, but when I picked it up, they had three layers of velvet tucked into the hem because they didn't want to cut it and do it the right way. Then when I returned to ask her to redo it she raised her voice at me and told me that" her cousin warned me it would not look good" this doesn't make sense. Why would I agree to something that someone warned me "would not be right?" And why would they suggest that. . I don't understand when people are dishonest. I'm not picky. I just wanted a hymn. This did not have to be so complicated. And treating a customer like that after you know, you did a bad job was not acceptable. I will not end up ever using this place again.
