Fancy Tailors - My daughter was very happy with her dress alteration! - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

I went initially to FT because of reviews on Yelp.I had curtain for 1 window,1 T shirt and 1 shirt -- the scope of work was just to hem the pair of curtains,take in sleeve on t shirt,hem sleeve and take in sleeve on shirt.The bill on curtain was $80 alone...I questioned it after paying and leaving.Called Ann's in Bon Aire about curtains inflated price? Ann's said there price would be $50 --could be less just need to take them to shop.With this news I called FT ON phone and disputed the price and then FT the conceded that she would match the $50.Why the two prices...the price when I called her out,and the price when I don"t?? It's not like there was only a few dollars difference. read more

I love my fit to my dress. They are so accommodating to your needs and had everything finished to perfection in no time at all!!! Thank you so much i will be returning very soon read more

Fancy Tailors - Halloween dress - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

Rarely can you find someone who claims that they are best tailors and back it up. But boy does this place do that. They are the ultimate professionals in this area. The cost of getting things tailored just keeps getting higher and higher but they have stayed reasonably priced. Took 4 pair of Jos A Banks pants there for my husband and it was less than 60.00. Went to pick them up and they looked better than the original hem. Thread matched every color of pants to a tee. Even brought in another pair of pants that the hem was coming loose on and they fixed it right there without a charge. A great husband and wife team that are a pleasure to deal with. Try them out. You won't be sorry. read more

I bought new scrubs for work and this place is across from Med Express. The guy who sold me my scrubs said he had heard they were good so I just walked across the parking lot to their little shop to have my pants hemmed. Typical alteration shop. Clothes all over in various altered states. The little lady there was very friendly as she pointed me in the direction of the tiny dressing room. Very few words exchanged as she positioned me just so and stuck pins where needed and that was that. They don't take credit cards for transactions under $20. It's $9 to hem a pair of pants :-). Less expensive than competitor, so worth the trip to the ATM. Owner let me pay the $9 on pickup. I will use Fancy Tailors again because it's $3 cheaper than the other place I've used for years. (They are likely related, anyway) read more

I took an evening gown to be altered to Fancy Tailors. The attention to detail was amazing. They made a suggestion on how to improve the shoulder strap which significantly improved the overall look of the gown. I picked it up yesterday, and it fits like a glove. What a great experience! I highly recommend Fancy Tailors read more

I was greeted warmly by the owners. I had purchased a beautiful navy dress at a fantastic discount, but I needed the buttons tightened, as well as the waist band needing a couple of stitches. They gave me the cost (affordable) and asked me to return the following afternoon. Well, I was well pleased with their work and professionalism. My dress was ready as stated. Will definitely get my alterations done at Fancy Tailors from now on! read more

Very very very good seamstress she reconstructed a after wedding outfit that came to me in an extraordinarily proportionately challenged manner and she understood exactly what she needed to do for it to fit perfectly to me narrowed legs move the crotch. she is a very good seamstress. Well fitted clothes are essential. read more

They are very rude! Are used to go there with the previous owner but after she left, they are extremely expensive with a very minimum experience in alterations read more

Super fast and very good work!!! I really appreciate her skills. Thank you for relocating to our area from NY!

The tailoring to my size of the Anthropologie jacket was flawless, the price was a bit high. Market for tailors in area is not saturated enough I guess to offer affordable prices. Shop owner very friendly. read more

Got my wedding dress altered here and would 100% recommend to anyone and everyone! I went in for the initial appointment and after chatting with the owner and figuring tell her what I wanted done, I completely trusted that my dress was going to be in good hands. The turn around was pretty quick and now I have my perfect fitting wedding dress ready to go :) read more

Expert tailoring. You won't be sorry you went. She took a jacket that another tailor had messed up and fixed it perfectly.

I've lived in the Richmond area for most of my life and was struggling to find a reasonably-priced tailor that produced quality work. After researching and seeing such consistent, high reviews, I decided to check it out. Ms. Betty from the shop was very polite and was very attentive to what I needed her to do. I had a very, very old t-shirt (probably close to 30-35 years old) that is one of my favorites and had a ton of holes that needed to be patched up, a long-sleeve button down that had a huge hole in the sleeve, and some swimming trunks that needed to have a hole repaired. She finished all the repairs in less than a week and for a super reasonable cost. The quality on all of the repairs is immaculate, sturdy, and barely noticeable. Now I feel like I can get many more years out of my favorite items. Ms. Betty is straight to the point and quite simply, does exactly what you need her to do, and at a price point that I feel is very fair. I plan to take all of my future clothes to be repaired/tailored here, and I cannot recommend her services enough. read more

I had a bridesmaid dress taken in here. They did a pretty good job at a decent price. I wasn't thrilled with how they did the side seams but it was a difficult alteration. I would use them again in the future. read more

This place is amazing. The quality of work is above and beyond what I expected with extremely reasonable pricing. Owner repaired the damaged leg and seeing how fragile the material was, very kindly reinforced the opposite leg's inseam and the seat of the pants. Lastly, it was ready the next day as promised. I will definitely return for any repairs or alterations I may have in the future. read more

I found this place based on its close to work and she has really good reviews. I was in a time crunch for getting a bridesmaid dress altered and she was the only one who didn't laugh at my need to have it done in under a week. She told me she could have the dress sides and hem done before I left town and she delivered. The dress fits perfectly now (hopefully I don't show up the bride) and I have definitely found my new tailor! read more

Having dropped a few pounds/inches this year, I decided it would be wise to get my work slacks taken in rather than buying replacements. A quick search of Yelp found Betty at Fancy Tailors to be both close to my work and highly rated - and was glad for the find! Betty has done a great job with the rather major makeover on my slacks. She is terrific to deal with - very friendly and professional. The value I feel I have received has made me a satisfied customer. Keep in mind that Betty runs a one-person show - and she stays quite busy from what I've seen. Be sure to take the time to let her know what you need and when, and I think you'll find her quite accommodating. If you're in the market for a tailor, I can definitely recommend Betty at Fancy Tailors. read more

I had my wedding gown altered here. The seamstress did a great job! My dress was simple with lots of lace and pearl details. I was somewhat nervous how it would come out. It looks great on me! Fits like a glove. I had it altered so it's more form-fitting at the waist and the hips. I am very satisfied and will use their services again! Also, price was very reasonable. read more

My friend recommended this tailor shop I really needed to get a bridesmaid dress altered at the last minute I went to a shop and they couldn't seem to get the job done but Betty was able to alter my dress with no issues and within the span of a week it came out absolutely perfect ! Betty is super sweet fast and professional I would definitely recommend her for any alteration services you need ! read more

I had 2 days before my sisters wedding and I was freaking out. I googled fast alterations available near me and Fancy Tailors popped up. I called and Betty told me I can bring the dress in for her to see what needed to be done. When I arrived I tried it on and she told me she could let it out 2.5 inches by the wedding!!! I paid and left. The day of the wedding my dress fit like a glove! I hugged her and had time to spare before the ceremony!!!! I recommend this place for all your alteration needs !! read more

Always amazing. Quality work. Reasonable prices. I take all of my alterations to Betty.

I took my bridesmaid dress here to be altered in a short amount of time, she altered the dress perfectly and super fast! She was also extremely friendly and responsive, highly recommended! read more

I have a suit that would cost about $1200 to replace today. I put it in storage for I'm ashamed to say for how long, because I ballooned from a 42 short to a 46 short. After reading recommendations here, I went to see Betty at Fancy Tailors. As a parishioner [I'm a United Methodist pastor] pointed out now the suit was too big on me. Betty did a masterful job taking in the trousers and jacket to fit my now 40 short person. I have a pulpit robe as well that would make a tent for me now. Yes, Betty can alter any dress or something like it. You won't be disappointed. read more

Betty completely saved the day for us! Through a whirlwind of circumstance, I ended up planning my wedding in only six days. At the start of those six days, I had an old dress that didn't even come close to zipping and was too long. Betty took it and, for a VERY reasonable price, she transformed the dress into something that fit me PERFECTLY in just five days (and on a holiday weekend no less)! The dress had very delicate lace detail throughout the bodice and skirt and, even though she had to put in panels, absolutely no one could tell the dress had been altered. The lacework was pristine and the dress fit me gorgeously. Thank you for making our wedding day possible, Betty! read more

Ms. Betty did a beautiful job on my daughter's prom gown. She got the alterations done quickly and no extra work was needed. I also thought her pricing was very reasonable. No appointments are needed! Just show up and she is ready to help. read more

Fancy Tailors - My dress was the talk of the night! It was so beautiful for the New Year Gala that I attended, Thank You. Fancy Tailor!! - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

i got 2 pants hemmed there and the stitching was amazing. i couldn't even tell the difference between betty's and the original and it only took 3 days. the price is amazing for what you get and i'm incredibly happy with the results. i will definitely be going there again if i ever need any other alterations. read more

Ms. Betty hooked me up with my brand new Levi' s jacket. Since I have extremely long arms, she was able to add 2' on both sleeves. All she asked was that I find the fabric to match. I looked in almost every fabric store in Richmond and wasn't able to find the perfect match. Then I decided to try clothing stores, even thrift shops, which is where I found the right fabric color. She didn't deliver on time as promised, but I was too pleased that she was willing to increase the arm lengths on my new coat. read more

I had 2 paints, 2 jackets, 1 skirt tailored to be smaller a few months back and unbeknownst to me she had done a bad job on all items. I put up with the pants being to short and still too big around the waste and the jacket sleeves all being too short, but when I went to try my skirt on and it was too small and the lining was hanging out the back I had enough, considering I paid $360 and was not happy with any items she did. So I go in and explain the skirt issue to her and she said it has been to long to fix it and that I could have gained weight! I asked her how did I make the lining stick out and she said "oh I can fix that but been too long". I explained this was my first time wearing it and I can't! Basically she advised that I should have checked all her work that day to see it was poor work. I too wish I would have because not one piece was tailored correctly. I also heard from a friend who went in for a price quote and they said her prices were way too high. Save your money find someone else. Especially someone who speaks better English so there is no disconnect. read more

We have been going there for a couple years now and can state that Betty is far better than any other alteration shop we have ever used. We have had her do everything from shirt, pants and jacket modifications to patch additions to leather jackets. Very reasonable with her pricings and delivers when promised. We highly recommend her services. read more

Ms. Betty saved our lives. We came to the area for a wedding and burned a hole in my daughters dress with the hotel iron 2 hours before the wedding. Ms. Betty was able to fix the hole within a half hour. Thank you again Ms. Betty. read more

Was in a jam! Ordered uniform pants from work and they weren't hemmed right. Of course I needed them for work and Lo and behold, this place really came through! So nice, and FAST. read more

I stopped in during the Christmas holiday season because I saw the sign on Midlothian. I spoke to the seamstress and told her I would return. I brought back several pants for myself and one for my husband. She did an excellent job and was quick and very efficient. I am very pleased with her work and more excited that I found a quality place of business! read more

I dropped a leather jacket and a field jacket off needing both of them to be sized up a little. I dropped them both off on a Friday and they were done by the following Thursday. They both now fit amazingly and the price for both was outstanding. The customer service was equally outstanding. I will be making a drop once a month to revive some of my beloved pieces. I have found my tailor for life. read more

I bought a high end Canadian Parka to get prepared for the winter months. With me being on the shorter end of the human height chart, I needed to take off 2.5" off the bottom of my parka so I didn't look too clumsy and comical In an oversized jacket (Canadians are tall apparently). The jacket is not cheap so I was a little hesitant at first with Ms. Betty, even after seeing her highly rated reviews. I thought "She can't be that good, can she?" Well, I was wrong. Her execution was on point. The jacket looks like it came out of the factory without any alterations. I gave her ample time and she provided a product in return that met my expectations. If the results of a complicated, goose filled jacket were exceptionally satisfactory, I am sure she can do and a hem, taper and trim in a timely and efficient manner. Needless to say I am very satisfied with the results and will be going back to her. Cheers Ms Betty, you the real MVP. read more
