I wish I had more things to tailor! The Coronado family is something special. I had some uniform alterations done by them and they nailed it! And the price... couldn't be beat. But what was better than the alterations... getting to have wonderful conversations with the staff. EXTREMELY friendly and went above and beyond to accommodate my alteration requests. Very pleased I decided to go with them for my alterations. read more

Coronado's is everything good businesses used to be. They take so much pride in customer service and will do everything possible to help you. I recently attended an Indian wedding in which a sari was required and my shipment was delayed and arrived the day before I left for my trip. Being pregnant, I needed to order a size up to fit my belly but the beaded top portion was way to big. Michelle and Robert assured me they could help me with only one day until my trip. After working on my top for hours upon hours and hand stitching beads, Michelle and Robert hand delivered my garments at 11pm the night before I flew out. No tailor in town can compete with this level of service and expertise. My garments fit beautifully and they saved the day! Cannot recommend enough read more

I needed a bridesmaid dress altered and it ended up working fine! Reasonable price and was able to get it done quickly. I just felt like I was having to argue to get my point across. I needed length taken off the dress and the slit to be altered, and when I pointed out that the slit hadn't been fixed, he said that it had been when it clearly hadn't. After arguing with me, he said I was wrong but he would take it up more and then when I came back the second time, he said he realized where he made a mistake the first time. The dress turned out great but it was a little bit of experience getting there. read more

Don't expect to get your alteration on time I took a bridesmaids dress to Coronados that needed a strap fixed and a small amount of length taken off the bottom. Mr. Coronado assured me that it would be done by the time I needed it and that I could pick it up in 4 days at 4:30. When I arrived to pick it up, he was still working on the dress and I was told to have a seat. The room I waited in was probably about 80 degrees and I was told the heat was acting up. About 30 minutes in I asked if I needed to come back and was assured that he was almost done. After being there an hour, he comes in and shows me the length and has yet to fix the strap. When he finally gave me the dress, the strap looked terrible and when I tried it on I realized he attached it TWISTED. I really wish he would have picked up the phone and told me he was going to be late so I wouldn't have sat there sweating for an hour and a half. read more

Top three reasons to use Coronado's as your tailor: (1) owner and other tailor are meticulous in their measurements, ask great questions and make the best recommendations for how to proceed with a tailoring need (2) prices are super reasonable - a tailor is part artist so it's never "cheap" but the end result is as close to perfect as clothes can be today (3) central location beside TCU. BONUS: building has it's own parking lot, so need to find street parking! IMPORTANT: call before you go, might need to make an appointment, but that ensures they're in the suite when you go! ;-) read more

I'm a bridesmaid in a wedding this summer and needed to get my silk dress taken in (woohoo for losing inches!). I stopped by my local dry cleaner and they gave me Robert Coronado's info--I'm so glad they did! Robert Coronado and his family have owned and operated Coronado's, a sewing and alteration store, since 1968. Situated right by TCU, in an office building right by campus, it's an easy commute for anyone in the city center. Mr. Coronado is in his 70s, at least, an he handles all the major alterations. I gave him a call a few weeks ago and he was happy to accommodate me that afternoon (he stays at the store until 6, and can stay later if you need him to). The store has a curtained-off changing area, and after changing I stood in front of a full-length mirror while Mr. Coronado took my measurements and adjusted my dress. He works quickly and my dress was ready within a week, and it cost $50 which I believe is pretty standard when you have to re-do a zipper and work with silk. When I stopped by to pick up my dress, Mr. Coronado was there with his daughter, and their sweet banter was so cute and infectious! I would have hung around longer if I could, just to hear them tell stories and joke around. Coronado's is truly a mom and pop place where you'll get stellar service and great results. Mr. Coronado will do simple things like hem jeans and take in dresses, or work with the fanciest of fancy wedding dresses and suits. If I were staying in Fort Worth, this would be my go-to alteration place! read more

Do not take your clothing to Coronado's to be altered! They were unprofessional from start to finish and ruined my wedding dress. I took my wedding dress to Coronado's to be altered based of a friend's recommendation and I wish I could go back in time and find somewhere else to have taken it! My initial bridal fitting was two and a half hours long. I scheduled an appointment with Mr. Coronado. Upon arriving, he began pinning my dress. He then told me he needed to wait for his daughter to arrive and she was "just down the street." It took over thirty minutes for her to arrive. Once she arrived, she undid absolutely everything Mr. Coronado had already pinned. She spent so much time talking while I stood around waiting for my dress to be finished. I was told I had to pay up front, while other tailors require a deposit or require payment once the alterations are finished. In my opinion, I should not have been forced to pay up front when they had my dress the entire time. I was told alterations for my dress would be done in three weeks with three fittings. I ended up picking up my dress six weeks after I first dropped it off. On one occasion, I scheduled a bridal fitting with Mr. Coronado via Michelle. Upon arriving, the door was locked and there was no one there. I reached out to Michelle who explained that Mr. Coronado was upstairs and would be down momentarily. Mr. Coronado never showed up, and I had to leave. On another occasion, I again scheduled a bridal fitting with Mr. Coronado via Michelle. I was meant to meet him midday. Before walking upstairs, I called to double check that they were in fact there, but was told my dress was not finished. If I wanted to pick it up that day, I needed to come back in 3-4 hours. I do not live close to Coronado's so each trip was a waste of time, gas, and money! After taking my finished wedding dress home, I noticed MANY issues with my dress. The buttons, shoulders, and sleeves where work had been done were filthy. My white wedding dress was stained. The rooms they work in are a mess - there are supplies, old paperwork, and trash EVERYWHERE. These areas were also incredibly worn down and had little fabric balls all over them. This was a result of a chemical or harsh rubbing being used on my dress. There is no way to fix the fabric they ruined. The shoulder seams that needed to be taken in are awful! Instead of being cut, the fabric was folded over and sewed together, so it protruded when it was worn. The seams themselves did not align with each other and were crooked. The hem of my dress was crooked, broken, and unfinished. It was cut incorrectly and so does not hang properly. It was also the first thing they altered on my dress, and they cut it too short. I was planning on wearing flip flops with no heels with my wedding dress, and am now having to find something with even less of a heel. There are many holes in the dress from where pins were placed, and there was a big snag at the bottom of my dress. Unfortunately the holes cannot be fixed. I asked for the snag to be fixed and was assured it would be. However it was not. The bustle was done way too high up the dress, and hung six inches off the ground. When the bra cups were sewn in, they were done incorrectly. Michelle spent ten minutes quickly redoing one of them. After trying the dress on again, I saw that the bra cup had been stitched to the outer layer of fabric. She once again said she would redo it for me, creating even more holes in my dress. After this fix, she did not let me try on my dress and sent it home with me. Once I tried on my dress at home, I realized the cups were not aligned. I have since taken it to a new tailor and everything has to be redone. The day I picked up my wedding dress & after seeing all the problems with it, I called Michelle and left a voicemail saying I was not pleased. She has not returned my call. Since then, I have called multiple times, during working hours and have not been able to get ahold of Michelle. I have been back to their place of business to show them the things that are wrong, and they were not there. Between all the time & money that was wasted, the lack of professionalism, my permanently ruined wedding dress, Coronado's has caused me insurmountable distress. read more

Outstanding! Professional, highest quality. Reasonable pricing. Take your tailoring and alterations to the best.

On two occasions Coronado's came through for me with their magic! The first time, I needed a dress altered the week of my cousin's wedding. I called on a Monday scheduled an appt for the same day and received my dress back on Thursday in time for the Saturday wedding! Mr. Coronado and his daughter Michelle paid close attention to what changes needed to be made to make my dress look amazing. And the second time I experience great service was when I called to get my measurements for a dress I getting made, Mr. Coronado had no problem assisting me. I highly recommend their services, you'll be greatly pleased!! read more

Coronado's is amazing!! My daughter brought Michelle her wedding dress just a month (maybe less time) before her wedding. The dress we had bought needed more alterations then the dress shop had told us. Michelle not only had the dress done in 2 weeks before her wedding, she made it perfect. She added a bussell because we were told the dress already had one. She taught us how to put the dress on and lace it up in the back the right way. Michelle went above and beyond to make sure by daughter's dress looked perfect! I would give them more then 5 stars If could. I will only go to coronado's for all my alterations. Their customer service could never be beat!! read more

The tailor at Coronado's was very kind and talkative. He got my bridesmaid dress done very quickly and it looks spectacular!

After reading so many good reviews, I decided to try this place out. I brought in a long, navy blue, chiffon brides maid dress. I'm 5 foot tall so it was entirely too long and the straps needed to be shortened. When we were done with measurements, he tried to charge me $90!!!! I told him I couldn't afford that (that's half the price of the dress), and he eventually lowered it to $75 but wouldn't go any lower. I had no time to find another tailor so I handed the money over with my stomach in knots. When I went to pick it up, it was still 4 inches too long! Another 30 mins out of my day to remeasure. I went back the next day, and tried it on. It seemed okay... But I wasn't able to really walk around in it and get a good feel. Once I had the dress on for the wedding, I was constantly tripping over it!! It was about an inch too long...only in the front. It made me very uncomfortable to walk around holding the top layer of the dress so I wouldn't trip. This place is entirely overpriced and obviously can't seem to hem a dress to the correct length. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!!! Don't waste your money here. read more

Great place! Family run business and amazing customer service! I went in for something very simple to add a hook and eye to a dress, but still expected to have to come back to pick it up another day, because that is usually what happens right.... Not with Michelle! She asked if I had just 5 minutes to wait she would do it right then so I wouldn't have to take the time to come back. They do a great job! read more

Hmm. Went here after reading all the great reviews, but I am disappointed with all aspects of this establishment. I took a bridesmaid dress in to be hemmed on May 16, and was told that they would call me when it was ready. In addition to the hemming, I wanted to add four straps to the dress which I already had (they just needed to be sewn in). Eighty dollars. In cash. At drop off. He also told me that having double straps would not look good, so he would only sew in single straps, but he would sew them in later if I insisted. So basically, I have poor taste. He called me Friday, May 30 and rudely told me that the dress was ready and I needed to come pick it up. I went to get it today, Monday, June 2. Way too much attitude to deal with going to the third floor of an office building to be overcharged and treated rudely. (My sister paid $30 for the same alterations to an identical dress - we are the same size) Lots of other options, and I will find another one next time. read more

I had ordered a bridesmaids dress from a place that would charge you an arm and a leg to get it altered. I took it to Maria and she was as surprised as I was on how much I would have to get altered, lets just say that Maria saved the day!!! read more

Can't say I'd recommend this place. I came here for a fall formal dress alteration that was pretty simple, just an extra stitch on a cross cross for extra security and a shortening of straps. It was like $40 but I didn't have a lot of time so I sucked it up even though I probably could have done it myself given an hour and a YouTube tutorial. Because of the convenience to campus, I came back for a spring formal dress alternation and all that needed to be done was a few inches off the bottom. I brought it in 2 weeks in advance to prevent any sort of headache, and they said it would be done on Tuesday 2 weeks in advance. I came the following Wednesday, and she said she just had "one more thing" as in "I'll literally be done in 10 mins". Nonetheless, I didn't come back until the following day (Thursday, formal is Friday), and I walked in and she said "just one more thing. It'll take 5 mins". I had class so I said I'd be back in an hour. I come back, and have been sitting here for 15 mins waiting on it to get done. I'm anticipating the another 5-10. It was originally $45, but since I'm a student they took it down to $30. What a relief lol. Regardless, they don't have their shit together and they charge way too much. I'd recommend looking elsewhere. The people are nice though. read more

Mr. Coronado did an absolutely wonderful job altering my clothes! He was able to fix the hem on a pair of dress pants and shorts, and he also was able to take in two dresses for me. He is so nice! Mr. Coronado provides excellent customer service and quality work. My clothes were ready in less than a week! When I went to pick up my clothes, I tried on two of the dresses and realized that they needed to be taken in just a little bit more. Mr. Coronado was happy to adjust the dresses as needed that same day! My dresses fit amazing now! He truly does a wonderful job, and really works with his customers to give them exactly what they need! I will definitely continue to go to Coronados for all of my alteration needs! read more

Wonderful Experience! I had a little difficulty finding the location, as I was expecting a stand alone building... once I got there, no one was on premise (it was a bit early), but as I was leaving, in a hurry and a bit frustrated, the owners pulled up, and asked if I was there for an alteration; they immediately (I did not even get out of my car!) took my jeans, $10, and told me my jeans would be ready later in the day... they took my name and number and within 2 hours, I received a text saying they were ready! Super friendly, amazingly fast, very affordable, and best of all, did a great job! Definitely will return! read more
