10/10 recommend coming to have your pants hemmed / adjusted here! I was shopping around for a place to take my pants and decided to take a chance here after my first option was a total flop. The owner is super friendly, charismatic and you can tell she truly enjoys the work she does. Dropped off 9 pairs of dress pants to be hemmed and taken-in @ the waist, and they were beautifully completed within 2 weeks! She even was kind enough to offer a discount since I had so many. Will definitely be back to have a few more of my pants adjusted. Please continue to support this small business, she is incredible! read more

Downtown Alteration - Hemmed pants - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

I've had bridesmaid dresses and pants altered here and both turned out great! The turnaround was pretty quick in the wintertime during low season, but in the late spring/summer, things definitely pick up so I would recommend giving it at least 3-4 weeks to be safe (especially during prom season). I've also noticed that the prices may fluctuate depending on the season. It's definitely a bit pricey but the owner is very skilled and does a great job! So even though it's pricey, it is reliable :) read more

We have been coming here for over 20 years. The service and quality of the work is always A+. The owner is friendly and accommodating. Downtown Alterations is also convenient in downtown Bellevue. read more

I have been taking my clothing to Downtown Alterations for years. Every single time, I am thoroughly impressed and very happy with the results. Fast, and very reasonable pricing. I highly recommend! read more

I'm so glad I found this place! I happened to be driving by and decided to bring some pants that needed hemmed shorter. The pricing was very reasonable, and the lady was very friendly. She had the pants done very quickly and did a great job! She followed my instructions and I'm happy with my pants. I will keep coming back. read more

Quick turn around and quality work. The owner is very nice! I have used her services multiple times.

Ten stars. Fast and at great price. I've been traveling for two months and arrived in Seattle for a wedding. Needless to say a few pounds heavier. She was able to let my pants out to save the day. Easy parking, friendly and a smile. Many thanks!! read more

Thanks to online search, I stumbled upon this little shop Owing to my small height, I needed to get 2 jeans altered. Just picked them today, and I am super happy with the result. They were trimmed just right, and the hemming is neater than in the actual jeans I had purchased. Would highly recommend this place read more

Best alteration service in town. I've got alterations done from retailers like Ndtrm, high end boutique like SL or C... let me tell you, they f up my pants, blazer every single time. However, I found downtown alteration, they fixed all the issues. So ever since then, I'm always willing to pay it here to get my pants and blazers altered rather than get the complimentary alteration they offer from the retailers or luxury boutiques. I've brought blazers, pants, jeans, The lady works here listens, she knows exactly what your cloth need and deliver fantastic results. Love it, I'd give 10 star if I could! read more

Phan Thahn is not only the absolute best tailor around (I've been getting high end alterations from London, Berlin, Florence, NYC and others for years) but also one of the most honorable trades women you can find. Superlatives do not do justice to the service and quality that she delivers on a consistent basis during a relationship spanning almost 15 years. read more

I've been to many many alterations shops. I'm also plagued with being sort of short but also curvy, so I pretty much have to buy something that fits my boobs or hips and then get it taken in at the waist and hemmed up. Every other Alterations place has had that feeling of being a little rude, trying to rush you out. That's not true here. She's always very welcoming, and I've met some really nice customers as well. I've had a choir dress, maxi skirt and a bridesmaid dress done here, and they were all done perfectly. The choir dress had to totally be redone as I had to get a size 18 (!!!!) and I was an 8 everywhere but the boobs. Also, this shop is convenient with lots of parking and small changing rooms. Don't go anywhere else for your alterations! read more

Thanks to the yelp community, I'm super happy to have discovered Downtown Alterations. I needed a a suit for work, found a really good deal online but when I received it the sizing and style was horrible. I couldn't return it, so I was upset that I ended up wasting money. Then I found downtown alterations. She hemmed the pants and adjusted the fit so well that I am extremely happy with her service. The only thing is she only takes cash, but you can't blame small businesses who need every penny. If you need anything altered for the perfect pit, be sure to drop by downtown alterations. You'll thank yourself for doing so read more

Simply the best. You won't need to find any other place.

Thank you so much for altering my dress in time for my wedding! You did a great job and I truly appreciate you.

Pax is awesome. I am a size 4 but am well endowed, so it is hard for me to buy jackets and have them look fitted without having the buttons pop open in the front. Pax did a great job with my jacket and made them look like they were tailored just for me. She is amazing! The only thing is this place does not take credit cards... Cash or Cheques only. Great service, fair price, wonderful quality. You can't go wrong. I highly recommend Pax and her cute little shop. read more

The final alteration job was good to go, its the process that makes this lose stars. I dropped off two items to be altered with a weeks notice that I needed the dress. It has a side zipper which she said is more complicated (totally agree) so it'd be a bigger job which = take longer and more $. But she said she had plenty of time (a week is plenty of time). I come in on the day to pickup at the end of the day and see my stuff still hanging up with the chalk marks on it, not even touched yet. I had to leave to catch a boat an hour later. She exclaimed, "oh thats today?!?!" and said she could do it in an hour. I gave her that hour and yes, the job did get done. But if it was such a big and complicated job that took extra time AND money, why could she bust it out in an hour when she had an entire week and charged me more for it? Not too happy about that. But yes, the alterations are good and fit me quite well so I won't complitely lower her average on stars. read more

Cash only and that's how you know it's good. She's fast, affordable and really nice! It's a hole in the wall, so just park by Rite Aid and you'll find her. Would recommend! read more

I took some long sleeved shirts in to make them cute short sleeves. I showed her pictures of the type of sleeve I wanted and the results were absolutely perfect. Also took long pants to be cropped ankle pants and they too were perfect. I like to buy certain pieces that aren't exactly what I wanted but have the ideas in my head to make them perfect and this is the place. So excited to have a wonderful seamstress/designer to help make my ideas come to life! read more

sometimes i question my mother's parenting . . . especially considering she knew from the time i was 2 that i was going to be super short (4' 10 1/2" to be exact) and she did NOT teach me how to hem my own pants. . . nor did she suggest i take a home economics course to learn how to hem my own pants. she did suggest, however, that i take a typing class, and i thank her for that . . . but i digress . . . that said, i spend almost as much money on alterations as i do on the clothes themselves. throughout my adult life, i have searched high and low for the perfect seamstress to help with this little issue (no pun intended) . . .and i finally found it with Paz and her little alterations shop! Paz is so awesome! the prices are reasonable, and she always does a stellar job! her turn around time is super quick if you need it - and even if you don't need your clothes back fast, she'll still have them done within a day or two. so far i've taken maybe a dozen pairs of pants/jeans to her and a couple of skirts and dresses - and everything has turned out absolutely perfect. the prices have ranged from $16 for a pair of jeans to $40 for a slightly complicated bridesmaid dress. Oh and lastly, Paz is cute as a button and i wish she was my grandma (not just for the free hemming). ** Disclaimer: yes i realize that i'm an adult now and could take a sewing class if i wanted too and quit blaming my mother for not teaching me. i'm lazy, i'll admit it. hahaha . . . read more

I needed some patches sewed onto my gi for jiu jitsu. I usually am able to do this myself but since there were soo many, and i wanted it done sooner, I took it here. It was a little pricey but she came through for me on time. If she didn't charge as much for just sewing on some patches, I would return for more work like this. But I rather sew it myself in the future because of her high rates. read more

My favorite spot to get alterations done from pants to suit jackets to even sports jerseys. Thanh and her staff are knowledgeable and friendly. Always accommodating. They are cash or check only, so be warned. Typical turnaround time for alterations are a week. read more

Have come here off and on over the past 8 years and more regularly in the past year after I finally got fed up with quality issues with having alterations done at my dry cleaner. All work here has always been high quality. Only complaint is limited hours, which is understandable given the limited staff at this small business. Highly recommended. read more

THE BEST ! I came to Downtown Alteration in a pinch, needing a prom dress altered in 4 days. After calling several stores Downtown Alteration was the only place up for the task. Not only was I able to get my dress back in time, but it fit/looked absolutely perfect! I was only charged about $40 for a double lined lace gown, which I believe was a great deal. If you need any alteration done go to Downtown Alterations! It's now my go to place. read more

I've lost count of how many things I've had altered here from yoga pants (I'm short...) to dress pants to formal dresses. I have always been extremely happy with the results and the customer service. She has asked for a week turn around when she's busy or when I have a few items but she's also turned around things in a day when I've asked. You can't go wrong bringing your alterations here! Just take note she only accepts checks or cash. read more

Been a customer for about ten years. The prices are very good and the quality of the alterations is excellent. Menswear knowledge is outstanding. Thanks! read more

They sewed up my sons pants that were shredded, saved me a lot of money not having to replace the pants to his suit

I used Downtown Alterations and Paz in the past. I was very unhappy with the quality of sewing and the service. She was also very expensive and spoke very little English. I found it difficult to explain what I needed to have done. The sewing was poor, the seems were crooked, the stiching was crooked. It was a mess! I had to have it all redone. I would NEVER use this place again...EVER!!! Avoid at all costs! read more
