    The finished dress! I loved it! This dress was about 4 sizes to big- she shortened the straps and took in the waist.

    Janet is so sweet- she really saved the day! I had 1 day for my rehearsal dress to be altered and she took me in with a smile and open arms. My dress fit perfectly and I honestly am so grateful for her. I would have paid anything to get it altered with such a short timeframe but she was under $90 and the dress turned out perfectly. Thank you Janet!!! I will definitely be returning!

    The downside is that her English is poor so it is probably safer if you knew how to speak either mandarin or cantonese.

    HB Alterations - My dress was hemmed to fit me perfectly

    Union Square, Financial District

    I have brought several items to them during prepandemic times and most recently, and their service…read morehas always been impeccable with reasonable prices and short turnaround around time. I brought a cheap floor length trench coat to them and asked them to build me an inner lining so it would become slightly more wind proof. I knew it was going to be a challenging job since it would likely mean partially deconstructing/taking apart the jacket so the inner lining can be attached from the inside. Within 3 weeks worth of time, they had sewn in this beautiful silky satin lining with matching color. I wore it over my sweater and long sleeve shirt in a brisk afternoon, and sure enough having the extra lining completely helped! I also asked them to hem several pairs of thrift store pants with frayed edges. They did a beautiful job with picking out matching thread for hemline without significantly shortening the length. During my pick up I gave them additional jobs to repair several moth holes I discovered in a couple of wool items, including a beautiful tweed blanket I bought from Falkland Islands (I almost donated it). While I eagerly await to receive these items back I am confident that their work will continue to showcase the fine craftsmanship they always deliver. I cannot recommend this place enough! Their location is close to the Montgomery BART/MUNI station which is ideal esp if you're dropping off before or after work, coming from East Bay. The entrance is a bit hard to find but just make sure you ring the right door bell and they will buzz you in.

    I came in here to take up a formal gown that was too tall for me…read more The owner was extremely helpful, giving her opinion on the length. I would've gone too short, and she insisted I not do that. She was right, and I'm so grateful she cared enough to ensure I had the right length, not the wrong length I thought I needed. She knows what she's doing! They are quick and very reasonably priced. I am only coming here from now on.
