Very basic alterations that did not take them long and that's the price tag?! Unfortunately for me, I didn't realize until after the work was done, but I will NEVER use them again. I feel robbed honestly. And this was not a rushed job. Plus they have very limited hours which also doesn't make it convenient for the consumer. Lesson learned!

I've been very pleased with Kathleen's work. She has done everything from replacing zippers in my…read morehusband's slacks to shortening my skirts and dresses. She has even repurposed a couple of my dresses into more practical skirts. Matter-of-fact, I need to make another appointment with her as I've two very long dresses that were for formal wear and I now wish to have them shortened so I can wear them for casual events. By the way I am petite and am under 5 ft. tall so finding something to fit me off the rack is almost impossible, and the last dress I bought was a size 0 I also had a very old skirt that I adored but it was starting to fade and show its age. Kathleen used the old skirt as a pattern and created a new one out of similar fabric. The new skirt has become one of my favorites. Kathleen is very pleasant to do business with, she is attentive and listens to what I want. I have and will continue to recommend her to my friends and family. I also found her prices very reasonable. (After reading the bad reviews I find myself perplexed as she was always very courteous and friendly when I dealt with her.

Kathleen did good work on my things. I'm a grown woman, but I am tiny (I'm 4'9", 104 lbs) so…read morefinding grown up clothes like business suits, etc. is nearly impossible- I assume everything I buy will need alterations. I had a great tailor in D.C. with whom I spent a small fortune, and I've been looking for one here for 6 years. I had two jackets altered, sleeves hemmed (no buttons) and pants hemmed. I was between jobs and I needed a suit for interviews, so I asked for that piece to be rushed. I dropped off the items, and picked up the suit jacket in time for my interview. I got the job, and told Kathleen I would pick up the rest of the items the following week, but my new job was in South Sarasota, I live in Northwest Bradenton, and I didn't anticipate the traffic. I couldn't make it from work to her shop in time. I called her to explain, and she got mad at me. She threatened to give my things to goodwill. It was very upsetting. Once I settled in at my job, I took a half day off work to go pick up my items, and she had the nerve to say she was ok with me and she would do work for me again. I'm glad she isn't angry with me anymore, but I will never go back, one, because I can't get there without taking time off from work, and two, because she made me feel like an inconvenience for seeking her services.
