I discovered this establishment many a years ago back when Connie was still there. I loved them then and still love them now. I brought my niece in to get fitted for a flower girl dress that I bought several sizes too big (it was such a good deal, I couldn't pass it up). The woman I spoke with (new owner I assume) was very honest and open about what would need to be done. Absolutely no surprises. I knew exactly what to expect when I went to pick it up and she was spot on. It was a difficult dress to work with, and it was explained to me in depth before I left it with them. I was not pressured to move forward with the alterations once the fitting was over and I appreciated that. I did however move forward with getting the alterations feeling very confident after the explanation I received. When I picked it up the dress wasn't perfect, but looked exactly how it was explained to me it would look. My point in this review is 1) Service is exceptional 2) you are told exactly what to expect even if not perfect so you can make a truly informed decision 3) prices are reasonable 4) quick turnaround I highly recommend this tailor. Just be aware they don't accept credit cards, it's cash or check only. read more

Come here for all my work uniform needs. Although this took two weeks for a simple patch, the turn around this usually quick. Prices are reasonable at $10 for this type of work. CASH or CHECK only! read more

Connie did. Great job with my Mother of the groom dress ! Very nice kind women there !! Highly recommend !

Connie's Tailoring did an incredible job altering my wedding dress. Great customer service and excellent quality. I also feel like the price was extremely fair for the quality I received. The bodice fit perfectly and the hem was exactly what I needed. read more

See all

Short folks like me can never find a perfect pair of pants, but sometimes you just can't put up with it. Thankfully Connie's has done great work on casual garments like work clothes (seriously, sewing machine witchcraft here!) and formalwear. My bridal attendant gown was perfect after they got their hands on it, and basic khakis look perfect after a trip to Connie's. My overalls looked tailor made after a trip to Connie's...well, they are now! There are no Sunday or Monday hours, and you need to bring cash, but Connie's does great work in a timely, fairly-priced manner. Being in Berlin, this is an easy to reach spot right off 9, and not far from 84 or 91. read more

Not overly personable. Not much communication on how they think the dress should fit. No suggestions or recommendations on fitting the dress. Just hem, pay cash and go. read more

While silver threads and golden needles cannot mend a broken heart, they can mend your torn garments if brought to Connie's. I hope this won't ruin anyone's day, but Connie is gone, long gone, gone like 7-8 years, possibly gone to that fairy tale land where the Emperor has new clothes that don't require alterations. The new owner has not skipped a stitch so save nine possibly even 10 by bringing them in for repair ASAP. Most recently I purchased a pair of jeans requiring hemming so I dropped them off on Tuesday and found them hanging around waiting for me on Friday. Prices seem reasonable though be aware the elves accept only cash or check. read more

Connie's Tailoring - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Berlin, Connecticut

They did a great job hemming a dress for me. It was two layers one crinoline and one chiffon. Price was around $70 but it was a complicated job with multiple layers and they expedited it. They're very kind and attentive to detail. The place is cash or check only no card so keep that in mind. read more

I've only visited Connie's once for the hem to be let out on two pairs of pants, but they were very friendly and did quality work. I brought my pants in on a Friday and they were ready on Wednesday, so not as fast as some other places, but I prefer to support a small business in town. The total cost was $26, and they are cash only. read more

I was in bridesmaid in a wedding earlier this month. The dress I wore was a long, strapless chiffon gown from David's Bridal. Since I am only 5' 3'' tall, I needed the gown to be shortened. Being the procrastinator I am, I brought the dress to Connie's two weeks before the wedding. Luckily, Connie and her team were able to do the $45.00 shortening job within a week. The room was very clean and spacious. There were fitting rooms to use. FYI: They only take cash or check. read more

left a dress to be altered. the woman who pinned the dress could not tell me how much the alterations would be as the owner had stepped out. when my husband picked up the dress it was $45, but when I tried the dress on at home only some of the alterations had been completed. there were still pins left on the sleeves and the lining of the dress was hanging down from below the hem. Also, I had asked the slip to be sewn so that my knee was not visible. My knee was still visible. when I returned w/the dress to have them complete what hadn't been done, I got an attitude and was spoken to harshly. I will not go there again! read more

Tao, Connie's owner, and her staff are exceptional. Not only are they tailoring magicians but they are honest, reasonable and professional. I've used Connie's many times and I've never been unhappy. read more

Connie is so lovely! I was recommended to her by a friend to have a bridesmaid dress altered. The place I had previously gone to wanted to charge me $150 for alterations, and some of the other bridesmaids told me that was pretty high and to try Connie's because that's where their dresses were. Connie completed my alterations for $70 and had it done a lot quicker than the other place was going to. My dress came out beautiful & she was definitely worth the drive. read more

I love this place for getting stuff altered and I prefer it over Kensington Cleaners. I had to get a dress altered there and they did a phenomenal job! Connie and her staff are very friendly and they get it done FAST! I totally recommend them! If you need a quick altering, you should see her! Thanks Connie! read more

Connie's is great! I brought in a bridesmaid dress that was too small for me in the shoulders and too big around the waist...I had pretty much given up hope on this dress...but they were able to make it fit great! I also brought in a dress to have hemmed, but I wanted to keep the original pattern on the hem. Connie did a beautiful job of maintaining the original hem I wanted! I have since moved to Massachusetts, but will continue bringing anything I need altered to Connie's :) read more

I've brought 3 bridesmaids dresses here so far and every time they came out great! One time I took my dress home without trying it on first and it didn't fit right. I went back another day and she was able to fix it on the spot. It was very accommodating! The pricing is great too. I've paid more elsewhere for sure. I'll always bring my alterations here. read more

I had a tailoring emergency and Connie's saved me! I flew into town for my friend's Father's funeral. While at the airport I ripped the seems in my suit pants. I texted my wife to look for a tailor. I arrived in Hartford at 730 pm Thursday. My wife said that Tao at Connie's could help me if I dropped it off at 8am I would have it in time. I arrived at 8am. The sign said they open at 9am but the door was open. I received a very warm greeting. The tear was complicated and involved multiple seams. They told me to come back at 930 and it would be ready. I came back. It looked brand new!!! They did a fantastic job and only charged me $15. I gave them a $20. I would highly recommend them to anyone. They were friendly, professional and efficient. What more can you ask for. Thank You Connie's!!!! read more

I just got my Wedding dress altered here and omg she did an amazing job!!! My dress fit me perfectly, she made a beautiful train and put buttons on my dress so that I could clip the train to my dress after the ceremony. I'm in awe at the work that was put into my dress and they were all so sweet and kind. I would HIGHLY recommend everyone come in. Thank you so much Connie's tailoring for your amazing work and for making this process so easy and stress free! read more

I had my wedding dress done here. They did a beautiful job, the bustle they did on the dress looked amazing - they actually took some of the fabric that they cut when they hemmed it to cover small buttons for the bustle hooks. Very professional work. Also talked me out of an unnecessary alteration, which I appreciated. I believe it cost about $250 for hemming, bustle, and cups - which is pretty much the going rate (or at least it was when I got it done, over a year ago). Highly recommend this shop. read more

They are the BEST. I had three bridesmaids dresses I needed tailored this year, and they did all of them flawlessly. One dress I had originally gotten tailored right at the store I bought it from, but the store did such an awful job, I brought it to Connie's anyways. She was able to squeeze me in within a really tight timeframe and worked some sort of magic to fix the dress and make it absolutely perfect. Very professional, very friendly, very accommodating, and VERY high quality work. I will never go anywhere else for alterations. read more

My fiancé and I both had our wedding dress alterations done here. They did an amazing job for a very affordable price. She worked with us to make sure our dresses fit perfectly. She had both gowns done in 2 weeks time. Highly recommend this to al future brides. read more

This is a first class tailor! They have altered a bunch of my things this summer. They are always ready on time and done really well. Prices are reasonable. I even had them make a top I loved that was too small bigger by adding fabric from another top! I would have them alter anything. They are fantastic! read more

I got my suit fixed there. Very good service for a reasonable price, definitely recommend!!!

I have brought many dresses here ranging from a hem on a cocktail dress to more complex fittings for bridesmaid dresses. Every time the staff at Connie's have done beautiful work for the best price around. I would definitely recommend! read more
