recently had a frustrating experience with a tailor tasked to alter a loose pant and skirt for me. After waiting three weeks for the initial alterations, I found them incorrect upon pickup. The tailor then required an additional two weeks to redo them, yet the pants remained improperly fixed with two incorrect seams. To make matters worse, I was charged $80 for these unsatisfactory alterations, despite originally paying only $34 for the skirt and $42 for the pants. The extended wait times, lack of attention to detail, and excessive cost were deeply disappointing. K Feedback read more

They have done work for me over the years and they are fantastic and they offer fair pricing.

I keep coming back to this place for all my alteration needs, they do an excellent job each time! I've had slacks, sport coat, and even an Astros jersey worked on. They did an excellent job with my Astros jersey, had a few extra patches sewn on (You cant tell the jersey came without these extra patches). I highly recommend their services! read more

I used to come here when I was younger and had a lot of social functions and was always in need of alterations. They always did a superb job reasonably priced and timely.

If I ever have to get my jeans (only own Levi's) hemmed, I take them to G & L Alterations in Katy. I have taken my other pants like khakis and slacks there also. This place has been my alterations place for approximately 10 years. The place hasn't changed. It sill looks the same as when I started going to this place. What makes this place good? One thing is price. I got two pairs of jeans hemmed for about $20. I paid on the day of dropoff so you get a discount. I specifically gave them instructions to make the stitch on the hem thicker by going twice. I also told them to use a dark blue thread on one and an orange thread on the other jean. My jeans came out exactly like I wanted. Another thing that makes this place good is they are on time. I've never really needed something done in a day or two, but it usually is about one week till they are finished. I think they say one week to be on the safe side. I usually just stop by about 5 days after dropoff and they are done. A third thing that makes this place good is assurance. For jeans, they always ask if you have washed them already. This is for shrinkage reasons. Also, when I pick them up, she tells me to come back if I have any problems. I haven't had any so far. One thing I wished they do is reweaving. I need to get a suit jacket reweaved and they don't do that service. Oh well, at least they take care of my Levi's. read more

Maggie is phenomenal. The whole staff is so kind and enjoyable to work with! I came in 5-6 weeks before my wedding and was able to come right in to get everything adjusted. Just came to pick up the gown, now 3 weeks before the wedding and I don't even need a second alteration. She hit the nail on the head first time! Maggie also created a beautiful bustle for my dress, so simple to hook and latch- it was more beautiful than I expected! Highly suggest coming in here for all your alteration needs, my mom has been going here for years! Also, if you need a veil they are happy to make one for a really affordable price! read more

I would recommend this place to anyone! I came here to get my wedding dress altered, and after having taken it somewhere else that wanted to charge me almost a thousand dollars, I was stressing and worried I wouldn't find someone to do quality yet affordable work. Maggie was amazing!! She was very helpful and made sure I was happy with the work getting done. She hemmed my dress, took in the bust and hips, added a bustle and cups all for less than a third of what I was previously quoted! After all that my dress fit perfectly. She also altered my moms dress for the wedding and did a great job. We will definitely be return customers! read more

It's only alterations here. If you need embroidery done it's not the place to go, but the ladies here are very nice. They gave us the name of two other places to try. I thought it was nice of them to give that info. read more

My "lovely" dog decided to tear apart the bottom of my brand new jacket and ripped out the zipper. I only got to wear it, like, 5 times. So, lucky for her I forgave her and looked around for a place to fix it. I found G & L Alterations online and after reviewing several great reviews I decided to use them. I am so glad I did. The woman who helped me was incredibly nice. It took exactly one week to fix it but it was because she was backed up on altering prom dresses, which was fine since it's about 110 degrees here in Texas and I didn't need my jacket right away. So, I picked up my jacket today and not only did she repair the zipper, but she also patched up the missing piece on the bottom without me asking her to. She didn't even charge me extra for it! Now my jacket looks brand new again. :-) I highly recommend this place. The repair work was perfect, the service was excellent and the prices are very reasonable. I paid around $19 for the repair but got a discount because if you pay when you drop it off, she gives you 10% off. If I didn't pay ahead then it would've been around $21. It's a couple bucks off but, hey, we're in a recession and $2 can get you some fast food. read more

I went to G&L alterations to work on my wedding dress and she was absolutely amazing!!! She helped make it the dress of my dreams and also made a pillow out of what was left from the alterations for the ring barer's pillow. Her expertise, friendliness and extreme dedication and attention to detail made the experience the best! I will use a Maggie for any and every future alteration, highly recommended! read more

G & L Alterations - I love the alterations Maggie did to make my dress perfect for the best day of my life! - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Katy, Texas

I was pleasantly surprised how nice the people are here! I found them here on yelp and decided to give it a try. I live in the alief area so it was about a 25 minutes drive to get here. I was that desperate. I paid on the same day I dropped off my chef pants that were extremely too large for me to get a 10% off. After the waiting for several days for my pick up, I was excited to see how it was gonna turn out. I was nervous it was still going to be too wide, but no it was pretty good! It fit well. The sewing was great! You can't tell I had to get it altered. read more

I went in with 2 new pairs of jeans that I thought needed to be hemmed. The nice lady asked if I had washed them. I told her no, and she told me to wash them first because they would shrink. I took get advice, and the jeans now fit better. I appreciate her honesty, since she could have easily hemmed them and taken my money. THANK you! read more

After washing the clothes, the hemmed parts are showing uneven, stitches are awful and the sleeve s are also uneven.. awful.. they ruined my clothes. read more

Their prices are a little....pricey LOL but overall I think they have very good customer service and they deliver as they promise. Will use them again. read more

I highly recommend G & L Alterations. Maggie went WAY above and beyond to accommodate my differently abled and chronically ill daughter in order to alter her prom dress. We couldn't be happier with the quality of the work and the amazing customer service. Maggie, thank you so much. We are grateful for your assistance. We'll definitely be back! read more

Had my pants altered for 25 each since they were too wide for my legs. The ladies there were attentive and understanding of my needs. I got my pants back after a week or so and the work they did was fantastic. Will be coming here again! read more

I had taken my maid-of-honor gown to G&L for alterations. I honestly ended up spending just as much on the alterations as I paid for the cost of the dress, but I digress...I had a great experience at G&L. They are a kind family oriented business, the customer service was super, and in the end, I got my gown altered in less than 10 days! On the wedding day my gown fit perfectly and if you pay using debit or cash methods, you'll save 5% on the cost. I would recommend this company for folks that reside near the Katy area. read more

I came to get a button added to the inside of the bust area of a button down. Everyone was so friendly and they did a great job for a good price ($5) read more

WOW ! Where can I start. These ladies have made my experience SOO fenomenal. I have been stressing so much as any bride would be when it comes to the wedding dress. Maggie is great at what she does. She was very honest with me and gave me tips, also she suggested for me to add straps to my strapless dress and I couldn't have agreed more . It just completely transformed the dress. Lety the owner was also very helpful in making sure my bridesmaids appointments were scheduled on time and assisted as well. If I could give G&L a 100 % star I would!! They have gained a customer for life now read more

Costumer beware...I brought an item in to get the item altered to fit better and when I arrived inside I was met by the manager who stated that the work would be kind of difficult to do due to the fact that there would be some velcro on the item that would have to be maneuvered around and the cost to do the work would cost $50.00. I was completely understanding of that due to the work that was described that would need to take place to get it altered and paid before leaving the item with them. When I arrived two days later to pick up my item I was baffled to see that the work that needed to be done was not done at all and instead the very unprofessionally added extra pieces of velcro which is something that I could have done myself. I asked if that still stood to grounds to cost $50.00 for that kind of unprofessional work. I was advised that it would still be $50.00 despite that original price being based off of the thought that the work to alter would be more difficult than just adding a few pieces of velcro to the item. Very disappointed. My family has had many things altered here and am shocked at the lack of effort to charge an arm and a leg for something that was made out to be more difficult and than that work not even being done. Seems like the workers took the easiest way out to get themselves a quick $50.00. Beware of the unprofessional craftsmanship that may come from this alteration business. read more

Excellent! We needed an alteration on my husband's suit pants. G & L was Fast, Friendly and altered them to perfect fit!

When I purchased my dress I was told by the boutique that they did not do alterations in house. That I needed to the places they recommend....well I knew that meant more ways to jack up the price. I started my search and found a couple of places one said I had to get on a waiting list, another stated it would cost $1200 and they were not sure they could have it done by the date I needed it. I finally found G & L Alterations!!! I called and the sweet lady on the phone could fit me right in. I went to my appointment and the three ladies there were nothing, but helpful. They made me feel right at home and treated me incredibly well. For the time I was in there, I want to say 2 hours, I saw over 15 plus people walk in the get there items. This gave me assurance that found a great place. After one of the ladies finished she told me that she took my dress in 3inchs(I'd los some weight from the time I bought my dress) and take it up, then she said that she was going to add ties to help keep the train under the dress for volume. When I was ready to let the train out these ties were easy to find. The owner of G & L Alterations offered 10% discount for paying today which I did. She explained that my dress would be ready in 2 weeks. I was so shocked. Other places had said 4 weeks minimum, but here they get the job done. I received a phone call 2 weeks later and came in to try my dress on. It was PERFECT!!! These ladies did such an amazing job. My dream dress was now made to fit me. I almost cried right there in the store. The owner told that when she quoted me the price she didn't realize how much work the dress would be, but she is a women of her word so she honored it. What she quoted was $485 for an alteration that should've been $700 at least. I was over the moon, that this sweet lady did all this work and she made sure everything was perfect. I am writing this review to let everyone know that this business gives you top of the line service and product. My dress was made for me and it cost $2500 before the alterations. I trusted these ladies and they did such an incredible job. I've added some pictures to show how amazing they did. G & L Alterations you are heaven sent! Thank you so very much for taking such great care of my dress. read more

I highly recommend this place for your alteration needs. The ladies here are just wonderful. Maggie & Leti specifically were some of the most kind and helpful people I've ever come across. They turned around a wedding dress for me that was rushed, and did a great job, and were so flexible. They also helped me with some custom items to go with my dress (belt & veil), which turned out very nice. And they did everything at a reasonable price!! I honestly don't know what I would have done without these ladies, so thankful to have found them, and will be taking all my alterations to them in the future!!! Thank you G&L Alterations! read more

I had a bridesmaid dress that was botched up from another alterations place with the wedding in 5 days. G&L Alterations did a great job repairing what damage was done just in time for the wedding. This is my new go-to for alterations places. read more

I have used Maggie for years. Always very friendly and they do a great job? I won't go anywhere else.

This place was recommended to me by my sister since my daughters 8th grade dance dress needed some alterations to meet the dress code requirements. When I arrived they looked at the dress and made recommendations on how to bring it up to code without ruining the dress. They did a wonderful job and the dress was so beautiful! They even stayed after closing to make sure I could pick it up on the day they promised (and this was during Prom season). Very very very happy with the care and willingness to take the time to make the dress look its best. read more

Maggie & her team are sewing angels sent from above! I just picked up three engagement photo shoot gowns from her, and they turned out even better than expected! She heard exactly what I wanted and made it happen. If you're looking for the cheapest in town, go elsewhere. These ladies are the best and deserve their rates. I'll be back again. No doubts. read more

Maggie worked on my wedding dress and beaded jacket for my dress. I know it should not be shocking that she did a perfect job on it. You would have thought she made the dress and jacket as a set. That was almost 12 years ago and she has altered dresses for me and trousers for my husband. I am ever thankful that my brother recommended her to me. Anything I need done, I take to her. She is a blessed and gifted artist! read more
