    This place is really inexpensive but they are cash only, have difficulty communicating, and may have ruined my expensive shirt.

    I have gone to Barbara twice for two gown alterations, one being my wedding gown. She is my hidden…read moregem!! She made sure that I wasn't losing too much of my outer layer appliqué from the hem, the bustle was secure, and she added horse hair hem on the inner layers to allow the dress to fan out. The blue dress I had taken to her was about 3 sizes too large and Barbara was able to work her magic to properly fit the gown. Her attention to detail is like no other!

    I'm rating my wedding gown alteration service 3 stars, simply only because of the affordable price…read more There were some customer service and cleanliness issues. I went to get only a hem, and she quoted me $80. I paid half via Venmo which was flexible. During my 2nd fitting, I decided I wanted a bustle but I was not expecting the price to DOUBLE. She then quoted me $160 and I asked her "how much to bustle a gown?" And she said "well, I steamed it too and I'm charging for each fitting and my time". I mentioned how she's just making up prices as we go. Plus, I never requested a steam, but apparently I had to pay for that too. I already had enough going on so I just paid her another $40 and agreed to pay the rest at the final fitting. Her studio needs some upkeep. It was dusty, floors needed a mop, and her bathroom doesn't look or feel clean. Would be nice if she had some empathy for brides wanting to protect their special gown. She has cats and it contributed to the aroma of her studio. I asked her if she can wash her hands while handling my gown, no response from her. Some text messages she did not respond to, she just left me on read. It would be nice if she sent out pick-up notifications or something to improve her customer service. But it's a small business. I recommend you keep track of everything and also take photos, if you're working with Basia.

    Horrible experience at Young's Tailor and Cleaners at 3609 Chapel Road off of St. Albans Circle in…read moreNewtown Square, in that I was incredibly overcharged ($320) for shortening the hem of two formal dresses. I took the dresses to two other Broomall / Newtown Square tailors and asked how much they would have charged me (without letting them know how much Young's charged me) and it was between $125 - $150. The woman at Young's tried to rationalize the cost of what she charged but at the end of the day, it was highway robbery. My fault for leaving them with Young's since she did gave me a price when I dropped them off. After thinking on it for two days after I had dropped them off, I went back to retrieve them but the work had already been done. Note that it was not a rush job. I would not recommend them what-so-ever and will never return. Something like this makes me truly sad.

    I can't tell you with a lifesaver Kari was to my sister and I on Saturday. She is my new hero. My…read moresister had a major wardrobe malfunction 2 hours before her daughter's wedding. We were frantic and called Kari to help out - she was literally closing for the day in 15 minutes but came to the rescue and was able to put a new zipper in and stayed late and finished 45 minutes before the wedding! If she had not come through for us my sister would have had to wear just a plain black dress. We got the dress to my sister at the wedding venue and she looks gorgeous and felt like a million dollars. I have always used Kari for our tailoring and cleaning over the years and have always been more than happy with everything she has done for us! I always recommend her to anyone looking for a great tailor!

    I am a bridesmaid in my sister-in-law's wedding, and she had the bridal party all get dresses their…read moredresses off Azazie.com. I ordered my dress after trying on a sample, and what arrived at my house fit perfectly from the waist down, but the chest area and shoulder strap were made for a completely different individual; the top did not fit me *at all.* I called Mia to set-up an appointment for alterations and was taken immediately upon arriving at my scheduled time. She confirmed the dress was "three sizes too big" on top and that it needed a lot of work. After pinning all the areas she thought needed to be taken in, I was still dissatisfied with the shoulder strap. Mia offered me a suggestion on how to fix this, which modified the loop of the strap, but which made everything lay much flatter. I told her to proceed. The alterations cost as much as the damn dress did, but I am not surprised by that fact because it truly was the most ill-fitting dress I've ever tried on. What Mia returned to me a month after our first consultation was perfect! It fit like a glove and no further adjustments were needed. I would totally use Mia again for any adjustments, big or small!

The current operator can't speak English well. I brought in a suit and a sport coat to be altered to fit me. She gave me the price of $60 for for each jacket and $30 for the pants and I agreed. I said that in addition I would like suspender buttons put in the pants and asked if she could sell me dress suspenders .She said yes and said that would bring the price up from $150 to $275. I agreed. When I returned the 2 jackets didn't fit and there were no buttons or suspenders. I left them with her to correct this. When I returned she had added suspender buttons to the pants but there were no suspenders provided. The suit jacket fits okay and the brand new sport coat from Joseph Banks still doesn't fit well. I don't know if the language barrier is feigned or real, but it is bad.
