Yelp is a love/hate relationship. Most people will only take the time to write negative things but this is not true for Eva's. My daughter was temporarily staying in Jacksonville and we were forced to rely on Yelp reviews to get my daughter's wedding dress drastically altered. They also altered her now husbands uniform. For my daughter's dress, we wanted the sheer sides to be closed & the straps to sit just right on her shoulders and be comfortable. I don't know how Eva's pulled this off but they certainly did! This was a complicated task. We were very nervous but we wasted a lot of energy stressing for no reason. Both my son in laws uniform and my daughter's dress turned out perfectly! read more

My husband found Eva's Alterations after a panic when the other alteration shop we go to couldn't take us on. Let me tell you, Eva did not disappoint! It was a true blessing. She is incredibly kind, sweet, and so willing to work with you. I had to buy a wedding dress off the rack that was 5 sizes too big and needed the entire dress and veil altered within 3 weeks. Eva saw me right away, provided her expert recommendations on how best to alter the dress, and showed me the different options for making adjustments. She was incredibly professional and reassuring throughout the whole process. Despite the tight deadline, Eva worked her magic and got my dress back to me in just 1.5 weeks! It looked absolutely perfect, and you would never have known it was originally 5 sizes too big. To top it off, Eva also altered my husband's uniform to fit him perfectly. She did an amazing job and made sure he looked sharp and professional on our wedding day. I cannot recommend Eva enough. She is not only talented but also incredibly kind and understanding. If you need any alterations, especially for your wedding dress or a special occasion outfit, I highly recommend going to see Eva. She will make sure you look and feel your best on your special day! read more

I brought a wedding dress that was handed down to me to Eva's to get the sleeves and neckline of the dress altered. I only had two weeks before I had to move to a different part of Florida, and Eva knocked it out of the park with my alterations! Not only did she complete them within the short window of time, but she was able to create exactly what I had in mind for the dress. When I tried it on again I was speechless and was trying not to cry! Ladies, you can trust Eva to take care of your dress and bring your wedding dreams to life. She transformed my dress and I can't recommend her enough! read more

Ms. Eva was absolutely lovely. I got engaged in December and got married in May, I ended up becoming a little frantic realizing I wasn't giving myself much time for dress alterations. I called Eva on a Monday, not realizing she was closed, left a message, and she called me back first thing on Tuesday and I was in for a fitting that week. My alterations took a month and there was quite a bit to do but she was confident and told me " don't worry, this is what i do! I take care of my brides". My dress was absolutely beautiful and fit like a glove. I can't thank her enough for taking care of me and being so so sweet. read more

A really great tailor- Eva's work is top- notch! I love having such a high- quality tailor in the neighborhood!

I cannot recommend Eva enough for all of your alteration needs!! She recently did my wedding dress, which was no easy task. It was a tight corset bodice with a zipper, meaning it had to be altered perfectly. She exceeded my expectations and made my wedding dress dreams come true! She even saved some of my fabric to make it into a scrunchie for my train - and added pearls to it to match my dress!! Very reasonably priced, incredible service, and great quality. It helps that she is an absolute joy to talk with as well. Thank you so much Eva!! read more

My dream wedding dress showed quite a bit of cleavage, but it was still "the one" and nothing else compared so I got it anyways. I had to get the length altered and found Eva through Yelp. I was a little skeptical because she didn't have as many reviews but everyone gave her five stars so I decided to just go for it. I'm so glad I did. Let me tell you something about Eva. She is the purest, sweetest little lady. She's very soft-spoken and just so nice. And she also did the damn near impossible. Let me put it this way... I FELT LIKE I WAS CINDERELLA AND EVA IS MY FAIRY GODMOTHER. I initially asked just to alter the length but then I decided to shoot my shot and ask her if she could make me more modest on my big day (lol). You see, the style of my dress makes it very difficult to add a modesty panel without changing the complete look. I was expecting her to say no. Instead, she did what fairy godmothers do and bippity boppity booped the frick out my dress. IT LOOKED BETTER THAN BEFORE. I included a before and after picture for you guys. She asked me to order more lace from the designer, which I didn't know I could even do. I called the boutique where I got my dress and they ordered it for me. Eva cut a piece of a very dainty, very detailed portion of a floral pattern from the lace and sewed it onto my dress by hand. I swear to you, it looked as if the dress should have always looked that way. The best part? She even saved the remaining lace and told me that there was enough to make a little dress for my future daughter. *cue tears* 1 Share read more

Eva was absolutely wonderful making a bunch of alterations to my wedding dress. I needed it taken in almost 3 sizes, cups put in, length taken up (leaving design at bottom) and making a bustle. At my first appointment she made me feel so at ease with all the adjustments needed. At my final fitting, I was so excited about how perfect all the adjustments came out. It was like it was made for me in the first place! Would highly recommend to anyone. read more

Eva did a great job altering my wedding dress. I bought my wedding dress 3 months before my wedding and she was able to fit my size 4 dress to my size 0 body. She took in the straps, back, and hem the front of my ballgown dress but left the train long for me like I wanted. My dress was not easy by any means, it has 5 layers, lace, beads, and appliqué. You would not be able to tell the dress has be altered by looking at it. If you don't want to worry about a seamstress ruining your beautiful gown I would go to Eva! Her price our fair but the biggest reason to go to her is knowing she will get it right the first time which is especially important to a bride! read more

I wish I had a before picture of my dress. It was a size big and because I am only 5'2" it had a lot that needed to be taken up on bottom. This was a formal dress that had a shear layer on top. I wasn't sure if she was going to be able to do anything with it and actually brought a back up dress thinking I would just need to return this one. It came out flawless! Prices were reasonable and she had it done in 2 weeks. read more

Very good at what she does. She took in a blouse and added buttons as the snaps that came with it were hard to reach.

I've been coming to Eva's Alterations for several years now and I am more impressed with her talent, ingenuity and determination today than I was on my very first visit. Eva has never let me down, keeping my business attire looking like a million dollars! She always treats me with the utmost respect, patience and is extremely detail oriented. Thank you Eva and your wonderful Elves who assist you! read more

I have been a long time client of Eva. This officially ended when she ruined my mother of the bride dress. At pick up, she did not come into the dressing room to check my dress alterations. She was too busy with other clients. Here is the LENGTHY list of what she did wrong: V-neck was off centered, sleeves not the same length, one arm hole was tight and the other was too big. The material badly puckers. One big mess! She accused me of gaining weight over the Thanksgiving holiday. No I did not gain any weight, I in fact lost weight. I had to re-purchase my dress (yes, the same size) and seek out a professional tailor. After respectfully trying to discuss her errors with her, she would not meet me halfway for reimbursement of her awful botched job. Eva has no remorse. She has been nothing but insulting and rude. I will never support her establishment again. The bride, posting on behalf of the mother of the bride. read more

After buying my wedding dress at a bridal store and hearing some scary stories of how bad their alterations were, I turned to Google to see where I could go instead. After reading all the reviews about Eva's work, I knew she was the one for the job. I had been given some bad advice on what dress size to buy and my dress ended up not fitting when it came in. But after Eva worked her magic, it is PERFECT! Eva is great to work with, has reasonable pricing and I would 100% recommend her!! read more

After reading several of the reviews I decided to choose Miss Eva's place to bring my pants that needed to be hemmed. What a pleasant surprise and a darling of a lady. Although she was leaving on vacation today for two weeks she was able to get my pants hemmed and done within one day knowing I needed to start my new job while she was on vacation. The outcome was top notch quality service which you do not see anymore. And I only paid $20 for two pair of pants to get hemmed. I am very thankful to have her in my corner now for future alterations. I highly recommend her. read more

Eva is amazing and sweet, ready to help any way she can. She's quick and does good work! Highly recommen!

Her ad clearly states she's a seamstress. But when I arrived and someone came upfront, I asked to get my measurements taken and she very dismissively told me, "I don't do that here. " read more

Eva is such a sweet lady! When I came to her my dress fit me a bit wonky and she fixed everything for me! I would 10/10 recommend her to any bride that wants their dress to make them look like one hot momma! I legit told Eva I'm in love with her after getting my dress back lol!! Go to Eva!!!! Don't trust anyone else!! read more

We took two long dresses to Eva and one was perfect and the other was a little off. She didn't hesitate at all to fix it immediately and could pick up the following day! Excellent!!! read more

At the last minute I brought in a bridesmaids dress that needed some work. The dress had multiple panels to it and Eva was able to adjust them to my liking, something the other bridesmaids were told by their seamstresses was impossible and too difficult. Eva got it done two weeks before the wedding and it was perfect. Also a very, very sweet lady! Highly recommend her. read more

I ordered a custom wedding dress from an Etsy shop and, despite giving my measurements, the dress didn't exactly fit me perfectly when it arrived. I brought the dress to Eva's Alterations and it was one of the best decisions I made leading up to my wedding! Eva is such a delight to work with. She is so genuine, warm, and professional. She made my dress fit me like a glove and her prices are very reasonable. She also did the alterations on my mother's dress for the wedding. I can't wait to have more clothes that need altering so I can have an excuse to see Eva again! read more

Ladies!!! I just moved to the area a few months ago and bought my dress in Tampa. Eva is a life saver and is THE BEST in town. Friendly, good communication and amazing seamstress. My dress was all appliqué lace and was too small and big in some areas. She made it work!!! read more

Eva is THE best seamstress, ever. My family and I have been going to her for years! From jeans to formal wear, we can depend that our clothes are fitted above and beyond our satisfaction. Not only are her prices reasonable and the quality outstanding; but the turnaround time is exceptional. She is flexible and will work to meet your needs! read more

I just met with Eva for my wedding dress alteration. This is her life, her work, and she puts her soul into making your wedding dress amazing! She is a pleasure to work with and is the kind of person you want to hang around and talk to. I do not know how she comapres by price to others as she is the only one I went to. About $300 to alter my size 10 wedding dress to a size 2, hem, and a few other alterations. Worth every penny. read more

The wonderful reviews of others' experiences with this incredibly talented and lovely woman couldn't be more accurate!! I drove 30 minutes from Ponte Vedra to give Eva a try because of the YELP reviews and I couldn't be more thrilled with the outcome. I purchased a very expensive and complex mother of the bride dress that needed altering. I was blown away when I tried it on yesterday--it was like the dress was custom made for me! I simply couldn't have been more happy with my experience with Eva's work or lovely personality. She is worth the drive. Don't make assumptions based on the her work site's condition. Not fancy and kind of old. However, her business is super easy to get to. Thank you EVA!!! read more

After having my silk and beaded wedding gown tailored and fitted at the store I bought it from in Boston, I got home to Jacksonville and realized they hadn't scooped the back down as far as they should have. In a panic to find someone skilled to do this, I called Eva's. Not only was she very nice and helpful, but she did an AMAZING JOB! I would be completely comfortable bringing anything in to her to have hemmed after seeing the work she did with my dress. read more
