This is my 800th review and it goes to Dana's Tailoring. It's rather fitting (no pun intended) to give a 5 star review such a milestone spot. Recently, I lost weight. It wasn't long before my jeans became too loose in the waist to be worn any longer so...time to go shopping for new jeans. As I've been a fan of LL Bean, I headed to a store. Even though a few years ago, LL Bean screwed up the pockets in their women's jeans, I did like the way they fit me. Once I had the new jeans, I set out to find a tailor who could fix the pockets by making them deeper. Much to my surprise, many of the tailors in my area don't do that work. Finally, I emailed 2 tailors to ask if they did such work. Dana was the first one to respond. She told me to bring them to her and she would see what she could do. FWIW, the second tailor answered much later to say she did such work, too, but by then I had gone to Dana. When I brought the 2 pairs of jeans to Dana, I was sure to bring along an older pair of jeans that had good pockets so she could see how deep I wanted the pockets to be. She was glad I had brought the old ones along. Then I hit a roadblock---she asked if I had brought along fabric for the pockets! Given that I hadn't used a tailor since I was in my 20s and that was to hem a dress, I was clueless. So...off to Jo-Ann Fabrics to buy material. Researching the subject, I bought a yard of cotton/polyester blend. I washed the fabric, then brought it to Dana. She said my jeans would be ready in two weeks. While I had hoped for faster turnaround, I know Dana is busy. I picked up the finished jeans yesterday. Today, I wore a pair and was wowed by the work Dana had done. They were done in such a way that they appear to be seamless. Plus they are slightly deeper which I don't mind at all! When I buy jeans again, I'm taking them to Dana. I had leftover fabric from the pocket material so that's one step saved. Even though from start (buying the jeans) to finish (getting them back), it took a month, it was worth the wait! Dana is very skilled and it's clear that she does a lot of business. When I picked up the jeans, someone was walking out with her finished items. Inside, there was a woman wearing a gown and waiting for Dana to take measurements. I highly recommend going to Dana if you need new pockets or any other tailoring work as her work is very high quality! read more

Dana is so professional and talented, she replaced a zipper in my daughter's dress and has flawlessly hemmed some other items for me, highly recommend. read more

This is a great business, with a friendly owner who does quality work! I had four pants that needed to be hemmed, hoping to have them in a week for a trip. I didn't realize it was prom season. Nonetheless, she said she could have one ready. When I returned in a week she had them all done. That's above and beyond and just plain nice. And they look great. read more

I visited Dana's to have a patch sewn onto my Jiu-Jitsu gi and my pants hemmed. She greeted me at the door and quickly took my measurements. The entire process took less than 10 minutes. The turnaround time was one week, and both the patch and the hemming were completed to my satisfaction. The cost was $25 for the patch and $25 for the hemming--make of that what you will read more

Since my last review, I have gotten several other jeans and pants tapered and hemmed by Dana. Dana is still the absolute BEST. I'm so glad I've found her! I love her detailed work and how well she communicates with you when doing your fitting to ensure she understands what you want. Turnaround for alterations are also extremely reasonable, efficient, and quick. My alterations have always been on time. She's also not short on recommendations on what can and cannot be done, which I really appreciate. I have a few dresses and coats in my closet I'm cleaning out that I want a more fitted look for, and am excited to bring them in to Dana to get them tailored. There's no one else I trust with alterations when it comes to my clothes. I can whole-heartedly trust and recommend Dana. She is so wonderful and sweet!!! Cannot say enough good things with coming to her over the years and how well my clothing have come out because of her work. read more

Dana is the most fantastic tailor in the area!!! Myself, along with my husband, have brought her many items of clothing to alter over the past 2+ years. Her alterations are TOP NOTCH and everything always comes out looking amazing! I've come to appreciate a piece of clothing that is altered to fit my body PERFECTLY!!! I'm often in-between sizes and have learned to buy the bigger size and have Dan alter it for a custom fit :) I've had many dresses that were a little bit too big and would have just returned them, but I know I can bring them to Dana and she can create a custom fit just for my body! I have a short torso, crazy long legs, a small waist and 34C bra size, soooo.... many pieces don't fit very well off the rack. Dana creates magic with her needle and thread!! I've never been disappointed with any of her creations! My husband had a suit tailored last year and WOW did it fit him just right! He looked like a million bucks! We will definitely keep coming back, thank you!! :) read more

Great work Dana! No only is she kind and friendly, I found her work to be very high quality. Glad to recommend Dana and plan to bring more work to her soon. Thank you. read more

Dana is amazing at what she does, you really can't put a price on her work but if you did I'd say she is very fair in her pricing and generous with her time and attention to detail. I can appreciate good work but this is just pure artistry what she does. Wish she'd teach a class! read more

My go to place for tailoring!! Dana couldn't be any nicer! I always trust her skilled hands with all my items. From bridesmaid dresses to jeans, she has done them all to perfection!!! Her prices are reasonable and super quickly! read more

I had my the zipper on my wedding dress replaced with corset lacing and Miss Dana did a fantastic job. Because of the style of the dress, she recommended only a partial corset which is something I had never heard of. Loved the end results. She will definitely be our go to professional in the future! Oh, and she is the sweetest lady as well. read more

Dana did a beautiful job altering my bridesmaid dress! I came to her with not a ton of time left before the wedding, but she was able to fit me in and get what I needed done. She made sure to meet my deadline and made sure to leave extra time before the wedding in case I needed any other alterations last minute. She was professional, kind and made me feel very comfortable. Again, the alteration was beautiful, perfect and exactly what I asked for. The pricing was also very reasonable! I will be going back to Dana for any future needs! read more

I moved out to the Sterling / S. Riding / Ashburn / Aldie area over a year ago. I've been struggling to find a great tailor, who can alter my suits and pants. After going through several dry-cleaners and having terrible outcomes, I finally came across Dana's Tailoring. First and foremost, Dana is the owner and the actual person who does the work inside your shop! This is huge, as many tailors sub the work out. When I first stopped by she greeted me with a huge smile and was eager to help. I explained I needed three suits altered in the next couple days, as I was leaving on a trip. She accommodated my request and sure enough they were done. What's most important about this is, they were done quickly, but done extremely well! What I learned about Dana, is she does everything under the sun! Wedding dresses, dresses, suites, pants, shirts, curtains, you name it she does. The location is very easy to get to with plenty of parking. If you're looking for an alteration, etc.. definitely try Dana, you won't be disappointed. read more

Dana is so kind and does excellent work for a fair price. She also wears a mask so I felt safe going during covid.

Dana is so kind and professional. I had 1 pair of pants, 1 shorts, and 1 skirt brought in for various hemming, tapering, and taking the waist in. They all came out perfectly; the work was so neat and it is clear how much effort and care Dana put into it. Dana is very up front with how things will come out, and lets you know the limitations of what she can and cannot do. She also explains in detail what she will do to alter your clothes (for example, for my shorts, she gave me the option to take it in by undoing the sides or by adding darts in the back. She recommended the darts because I only needed it taken in a little bit and because it was cheaper!). She's really sweet and I really recommend supporting this business! She definitely has a regular in me! (I've already dropped off 2 more pairs of pants to get tailored and plan to get a pair of jeans fixed by her) read more

She's great, did a fantastic job on my designe pants that were too long. The pattern was different and she matched it to perfection.

High quality work for fair pricing. I've seen her do everything from dresses to suits to curtains and stuffed animals. I can't go to anyone else ever since finding Dana. I have to drive out of my way to get to her but the consistent quality and timing makes it worth it. I know my family will go to her for years to come. Not to mention she is so cute and sweet!! read more

Such a GREAT experience here. Dana is so kind and altered my bridesmaid dress (which was WAY oversized) beautifully in excellent time. Highly recommend! read more

Great experience for a last minute bridesmaid dress fitting. Fair prices and very nice service.

Having recently moved to the area from the city, I tried to find an alterations spot near me. After reading the good reviews on Yelp, I decided to visit and inquire about alteration rates for my bridesmaids dress. After expecting "reasonable" rates for a simple dress hem, I was shocked with the amount she was charging me! I've had several dress alterations at varying locations in the past and have never paid that much for a hemming. I may add, that this bridesmaid dress was fairly simple-- no multiple levels of fabric stacked on top of each other, and no fancy fabric, etc. I'm not sure if she charges everyone this amount (or if she thought she could take advantage of me)...but if so, I'm sure you can find alternate alteration shops for just the same quality and half the price. I took my business to another alternations spot a few miles down in Chantilly. read more

My husband had two pairs of pants brought in. She did a great job tailoring them to not only the right length, but the right fit overall. She was also very friendly to us. We will definitely be coming back! read more

Recently moved to the area and needed a place to get stuff tailored, I took two pairs of pants to Dana's and they were done perfectly. Dana is super friendly and is very good at her craft.

Dana made some alterations on my trousers and did such a great job. Very meticulous and the end result was evident of her professionalism and dedication to her profession. It also helps that she is Incredibly friendly and easy to talk to. Highly recommend. read more

I used Dana for shortening my dress for a wedding. She did a great job at a reasonable price. I will be sure to use her for other tailoring needs in the future. read more

Wow what can I say. We had the same name and I had one week until my wedding. It gave me good vibes. I emailed her the Saturday before Easter and told her my wedding was the 22nd...one week later! She got that dress ready by Friday the 21st in the knick of time with lots of back and forth. It was perfect. Dana was so gracious and professional. I can't recommend her highly enough. Thanks Dana for the hard work, rushed job, and perfect outcome. I will send pics! xoxo, Dana read more

Dana is simply the BEST. She is always on time, some times early, and very accommodating - not to mention she is such a sweet and fun person! She has done some complicated alterations for some of my dresses - I have told her what I wanted, and she is always very honest with me what is realistic and what isn't. She's hemmed many of my dresses, buttons/smaller alterations for more modesty, and many many pants. I've never had any complaints about the quality or timeliness of her work. To get to her is a bit of a drive and out of the way for me, but it is worth it. I will be a customer for life. read more

Dana is great! Best tailoring experience I've ever had after SEVERAL nightmares. I will continue to drive from Herndon for her professional services. read more

Very sweet lady and she does high quality work. I was pleased with the alterations she did for me. Will definitely be back in the future.

First off, Dana is such a sweetheart! You can tell she takes pride in her work and will make sure you are completely satisfied. I got a dress hemmed and was more than happy with the alteration. She takes the time to prepare your garment with all the necessary pinning and was able to get my dress back in plenty of time for my event. Fair prices! read more

Warm and kind lady, who is thorough and takes pride in her work at a reasonable price.

Dana is the most amazing and sweet lady I've ever met. She's very smart and knows how to do everything and will tell you why certain things will or will not work. Her prices are amazing for the amount of hard work she puts into every single piece. You will walk out feeling confident and glowing. I recommend her for everything! read more

Had a fantastic experience at Dana's Tailoring!! I went in with 2 jumpsuits and a formal dress for a wedding that needed altering. Her work was fantastic and everything fit great! You'd never know it was altered by looking at it. She was always very responsive and turn around time was quick! Reasonable prices. Highly recommend! read more

If you are a guy this is a great place. Got my suit altered up to specs, couldn't be happier.

Helped us out with a last minute/emergency tailoring requirement. Excellent work. Thanks.

Both my husband and I had jacket alterations done and we couldn't be more pleased. The work was expertly done, within the agreed upon time and for a fair price. Dana's is a welcome addition to the area! read more
