Ivka is one of the most detailed oriented tailors I have encountered. She can judge with her experience on what looks good/not on you. She was also very honest with her customers if she thinks it wouldnt look good or if the job requested is not a wise decision. One time I brought in a dress that was too small on me. I wanted her to help me expand it to fit. She brought up the different ways she can make the alterations but was also honest about how she thinks it will not look like what I have expected. Unlike some tailors who may not want to pass on a chance to do business, Ivka genuinely wanted me to be happy with my decision. I ended up returning the dress based on her advice. I had been a returning customer since my first visit 6 months ago. I am still very happy with the work she does and will definitely recommend anyone who wishes to get an honest opinion for an alteration and also a great job done. read more

Ivka is the best, period! I believe I am qualified to say so because I have tried many different tailors in Austin/Round Rock area. I got to know Ivka a year ago through a friend, and have been so pleased with my every single visit . Actually there is a group of us going there on a regular basis and we are all very happy with her- there is almost a fun club going on :-) She is so talented , passionate and skilled with what she does, that she can come up with the most creative way to make any imperfections perfect. I have taken clothes bought for 2 years without wearing once to her and she can magically turn them into not only wearable but also beautiful new clothes! She won't let even the tiniest un-satisfaction ( to her standard which is high) slip away even if it is not even noticeable. She also charges very reasonable prices! P.S. Her store also provides dry clean services, though that is outsourced. But they do a good job and again, with very reasonable charges. So I get all my alternations and dry clean done at her place. read more

I highly recommend her she is the best ever !!! She fixed it fast and was really inexpensive . She saved my wedding !!!! read more

I live in my uniform as a flight attendant and am always finding something that needs altering when receiviing a new skirt, dress or blazer. To me image means so much but comfort and movability trumps image any day of the week! Ivka has fit all my uniforms perfectly at a very good price. I can't wait for her to transform my new long sleeve blouses into short sleeves. Trust her, she knows what she is doing! read more

Croata Designs did what David's Bridal could not do for my wedding dress needs. The fast and friendly staff provided top-notch service at reasonable price. I had the pleasure of having two alteration services for two different dresses at this business. They were able to give me everything I asked for and in a timely and efficient manner. I am ever so grateful for their help. Check them out! read more

this lady is amazing. She makes cloth on her own so she can fix anything. she has hemmed jeans for me and fixed things for me and done a great job. highly recommend it!!! read more

I was looking for a place to get some tailoring done and after some researching settled on Croata design. I give her an A+ as she met my requirements! She was well priced, did a great job, is very friendly, and when she said to come back Thursday for my article of clothing, it was ready to go! I won't hesitate to go back for more work. read more

Love love love them. I'm a big girl and need my evening dress to look like it for my body and not just hang. Amazing! I had so many compliments how nice I looked. Ivka amazing! read more

Phenomenal! This place was recommended to me by a friend for my wedding dress alterations. I was hesitant because my dress was very expensive, and needed to be taken apart to have proper alterations. You can tell a lot about what a seamstress knows, by the way they look at the garment. Once I watched her pin my dress and talk about what needed I be done, I knew she could do it. Even with that I was a bit nervous when I picked it up. Upon trying my dress on and examining the alterations, I was blow away by the amazing detail and beauty of her work. I would highly recommend this business. read more

I found this shop after looking to tailor a suit for my husband within a certain timeframe. She was able to complete by the timeframe agreed upon. I will definitely be back for other services. Super sweet to my boys who go everywhere with me too. read more

Wanted to say that they stayed open late just for me when I called them and said I was in traffic and was on the way. I needed a pair of pants hemmed and a shirt tailored for a wedding that weekend. They stayed late and quickly sewed and tailored my clothes. Great people and the reason why I always take my money to small, local businesses. read more

This is my go-to place for all alterations, including my wedding dress. They do a great job and prices are very reasonable.

I have put this review off for way too long! The women at Croata Design are wonderful! They always accommodate for my schedule and make sure my alterations are finished on time! Croata has altered so many items for me, including; my bachelorette dress, rehearsal dinner dress, multiple bridesmaid dresses, and jeans! I trust her with any item in my closet and she nails it every time! Her prices are affordable and her work is always fantastic! If you're looking for a great alterations place, look no further! read more

I had several dresses hemmed here and she did fantastic work with a quick turn around. The price was reasonable.

The lady who measured me & my daughter for a bridesmaid & flower girl dress here was super sweet and thorough in getting all my measurements. And at the front they have a fish tank that my toddler was fascinated with so bonus points for that! read more

Extremely Friendly and reliable. Does excellent work and no one has better prices. Started using Croata when I lived in Pflugerville seven years ago and my wife and I still come here from Cedar Park for all of our tailoring. read more

I brought in two pair of jeans to be hemmed. The seamstress had me put on the jeans, measured and marked where I'd like them to stop at. When the jeans were picked up a week later, they fit me PERFECTLY! Exactly as I asked them to be hemmed. Excellent customer service and I would use their service again if I need alterations! Thank you so much! read more

I took my daugher's prom dress to get altered because it was too long. Her dress had a small train and gems and rhinestons everywhere. It just took one visit and the dress fit her perfectly without losing any of its detail that made the dress so beautiful. I will definely use this busisnes again. Great work and reasonable prices too. read more

I went to Croata Design for my first time several months ago; taking in a pair of work pants. These pants needed to be shortened and tapered. I am a very short lady and can only purchase bigger sized pants to fit me properly, so I always must have my pants hemmed and tapered. I was leery during my first time there as I had never been to a seamstress before and I was afraid that my pants might not be sewn properly. However, I was completely wrong! The lady that works there and whom is also the owner named Ivka is TOTALLY INCREDIBLE! She has years upon years of experience! She truly knows how to sew anything and everything! I see customers going in all the time with different types of sewing needs and she seems to be able to complete all of the required sewing tasks with perfection! Now I have been going there for a while. Every time I go there to drop off pants or my husbands pants, shirts, shorts, and more; customers always seem to be very satisfied with her work. With regards to my husbands and my clothing items; she always gets it completed correctly with precise accuracy! Oh, let me not forget about the other lady that works there named Jenna. She says that she has learned everything she knows from Ivka. And Jenna has also worked on my clothing. Jenna also completed all the sewing tasks with precise accuracy! She is also TOTALLY INCREDIBLE! I will never go anywhere else as I am always 100% completely satisfied with their very hard work! Excellent customer service and very polite! These ladies pay attention to details which is imperative to making your clothing fit correctly and look great! If you are going anywhere else; you are making a mistake because these ladies really know what they are doing! Thank you Croata Design for your excellent customer service! :) read more

Had a bridesmaid dress shortened. I really liked that the owner admitted I didn't need the bust taken in (I wasn't sure and that's the reason I originally went in to see her). The work only took a week and was reasonably priced. She's very personable and I felt comfortable there. She will be my go-to for all alteration needs from now on. read more

A bridal store recommended this place to me since I had a delicate bridesmaid dress. I was late getting my dress altered (week's notice) and they accommodated. Knew what they were doing and the pricing was great. Even finished a day earlier than scheduled. Definitely recommend!!! read more

I have been going to Croata Design for all my alternations since 2009. By now, Ivka probably has seen every single designer outfit in my closet. I have to say I am a picky customer, but I am always impressed by Ivka's work. She is perfectionist, talented and pays great attention to details. read more

I had two expensive pairs of jeans shortened to my length. I asked for the original hem, one turned out great. The second pair was horrible, the seams did not match up on the hem to to the rest of the pants! It's very noticeable and unacceptable! read more

Ivka's as a master at this. I brought in pants that did not have enough material for the cuff that I wanted but she made it happen somehow. I'm still amazed that she pulled it off, saved me from buying 3 new pairs. The prices were very reasonable. read more

Amazing job with two skirts that I needed taken in a very short time period. I was going on vacation on Sunday and realized Monday that I needed them taken in. I brought it to them on Tuesday after work and then was able to pick them up on Saturday. I will be using htem again for my alterations. read more

Good hemming job but a bit overpriced. Note to self: if you have adjusting fabric wear a heel 1 inch taller than you plan on the dress. She didn't account for the type of fabric and cut my dress an inch too short. Now I'm forced to wear flats so it won't look silly with my 1/2 inch heels. Sigh. :/ I might come back here but I now know to wear taller heels than I plan for the hemming fitting. Just bummed I can't wear heels with this dress. Super super bummed right now. I kinda wish I left it ridiculously long so I could wear heels. GAAAHH THIS SUCKS SO MUCH. :( read more
