    The best tailor that I have ever used. Nobody else can repair a busted out crotch in an old pair of jeans like Dale can.

    I purchased a wedding dress from another bride and needed the dress to be taken in. I was told…read moreabout some shops, but after reading bad review after another, no shop appealed to me. I found a blog on Evelyn, and thought, hey let's take a chance. I went to meet her earlier this year with my mom and my dress in hand. She was able to quickly know what needed to be done. I asked to have another fitting when I returned for my shower this weekend when I would have a couple other family members in town to see the dress. Saturday I went to try on the dress, and it fit perfectly! I am so excited that everything looked fabulous and I will get to wear such a beautiful dress on my big day! Her customer service is amazing as well. She was willing to show my sister how to lace a corset back dress and what to do on my big day with no problem. She also gave us suggestions with purchasing a steamer in order to steam some of the wrinkles as it gets closer to the wedding. Any questions any of us had, she had an answer with no problem. Do not hesitate to travel downtown to Evelyn for your alterations. Her prices are very reasonable as well.

    I searched frantically on google as I made the mistake of waiting too long for alterations and…read morewouldn't be able to get it done in time with the seamstress my bridal shop I bought from recommended. I came across Evelyn on Yelp and liked her work on her website. What impressed me the most was her turn around time (1 week) so I figured I'd give her a call and cross my fingers everything goes well. The consultation was 30 minutes exact, super easy and she was very outgoing as we talked about the details of my wedding. She told me to come back on Wednesday (my appointment was Monday). Evelyn did an AMAZING job hemming my wedding dress as well as adding a clasp to replace me having to tie a bow in the back of the dress. I'm amazed how quickly she was able to do it in 2 days, I was honestly expecting a week from what her website stated. I highly recommend her to any bride that needs alterations, especially if you're on a time crunch or other businesses are booked.

    My previous review was on behalf of my boyfriend. This one is for me…read more Angela embroidered a beautiful baseball hat for me in my favorite shade of purple! Soon, we'll be working on altering a leather vest for me to wear while motorcycle riding! So happy to have found a shop and owner of said shop that is very friendly, easy to work with, and has integrity and pride in the work produced by her and the ladies who work for her!

    I can't recommend Sew Fabulous based on my experience. I hope this helps anyone who's considering…read moreusing them, because I wish I had paid closer attention to reviews before booking. I chose Sew Fabulous because it's close to my home, a friend had a good experience with them, and I was willing to pay more for quality and convenience. My dress was an Azazie bridesmaid dress, and I only needed the hem shortened. I booked six weeks in advance, so there was no rush fee. I paid the required $75 appointment fee, changed into my dress, and the hem was pinned in just a few minutes. When the estimate was calculated, I was quoted $255 to hem the dress. I understand every business has the right to set its own prices, and I'm not criticizing them for charging what they believe their work is worth. I was simply caught completely off guard. My dress cost around $80, and based on conversations with others--including someone who had used this shop for a similar dress--I had no reason to expect a quote anywhere close to that amount. I politely asked if the estimate was correct because I genuinely thought there might have been a calculation error. Instead of feeling like there was room for a conversation or even a second look at the estimate, I immediately felt like the focus shifted to explaining their policies and that the $75 appointment fee would not be refunded if I chose not to proceed. While I understand those policies are posted and businesses have every right to protect their time, I left feeling like there was very little effort to understand why I was so surprised or to work through the situation with me. The price itself wasn't what bothered me most--it was how the interaction was handled. I came in intending to hire them, not to shop around or waste anyone's time. Walking away without any work done but still out $75 left me feeling taken advantage of rather than cared for as a customer. If you do choose Sew Fabulous, I strongly recommend asking for a rough price range before paying the appointment fee so you know whether it's within your budget. I also recommend understanding their payment policies ahead of time, as they differ from many alteration shops. This is only my personal experience, but it wasn't one that left me feeling valued as a customer, and because of that, I wouldn't return or recommend them.
