We used Alterations by Emma for dress alterations for myself (the bride), my daughter (jr…read more bridesmaid), and my Grandma. The prices were very reasonable and they got the work done quickly. Our dresses came back clean, pressed, and appeared to be handled with care. All the alterations were done well and fit as expected. We only had one issue: We had the straps on my daughter's dress shortened and near the end of the reception, the stitching gave out. We had to safety pin it for the last hour. That being said, she was dancing like crazy and running wild for the whole night in a formal dress, so she def wasn't going easy on it :) Overall, better value than going to the big dress shops. Maybe not as fun of an "experience" as going to the bridal shop, but when the wedding budget is stretched to the max, saving money here can be a lifesaver!

As a curvy short girl I'm often challenged by fit when attempting to buy quality clothes at an affordable price. I've found it helpful to simply buy discounted pieces and tailor to fit. However if alterations are too costly it will negate the discount. I appreciate Patti for keeping her prices affordable for fashionistas on a budget! She offers an upfront quote and definitely completes projects by guaranteed delivery date, if not before. Although the shop closes at 5p most weekdays Patti will accommodate a weekend fitting upon request. Plus the studio is clean, modern and super comfortable. I recommend Patti's Attic for all your sewing & alternation needs!

Disappointed I was here again recently to have yet another pair of shorts sewn…read more I came in and ran into Raphael who called himself the archangel . I laughed. I think he was helping out his father Juan who is always overly busy when I go there. So this was on a Friday, and I asked about Monday and Raphael said Tuesday. Mind you I'm getting a a patch sewn in a pair of shorts. So I said OK. Well I got tied up and forgot about Tuesday because I had other things going on. I show up Wednesday it's just Juan by himself. I've dealt with him before and if you don't know how to deal with him... you'll get offended, and he'll get you pissed off. Cause he always tells you what's on his mind and he's a little rough. He does good work, but he does not have the best customer skills. Which really doesn't bother me since I worked in the building trades and people said all sorts of things to me and that's fine that doesn't bother me. So I show up Wednesday and Juan is searching all over for my garment and he can't find it and then of course he gives me : the why don't you come back later or why don't you come back in 30 minutes and then he got mad at me and yelled at me lol, and I just said are you done? And he just stared at me. And I told him I was here Friday we agreed on Tuesday , it's now Wednesday why can't you find the garment and why isn't it done? And he's making excuses telling me he's busy or this or that , and he looks again and finally finds it, and of course it wasn't done and then he tells me he wanted me to sit and wait or come back in 30 minutes. I got annoyed but I said I'll be back in 30 minutes. I came back and of course he had done the patch and it was a great job : but why couldn't this been done Monday or Tuesday? I don't know but the one thing I do know is he does good work, hes kind of abrupt with his customers but his biggest problem is he has a small space and he's extremely unorganized which is why Raphael is probably there to help him. And Juan is one man show. He needs to clean up his place get more organized and he would probably be able to keep up with everything and he does need a front man who can deal with the customer since that's not Juans strength. I'm sure the next time I need a patch job will probably be a couple years down the road and I will forget about the incident. but right now it seems like it's hit or miss, and reading other people's reviews this is not the first time it's happened. Summary: Juan does excellent work, is abrupt with customers, can be unorganized and unable to locate your items. It's hit or miss if you'll get it on time. Once the works done , you should have no problem with the job that he does.

I said we would like him measured and then will decide if we are purchasing a jacket or not or possibly online from their site. He wouldn't measure him, sent him in with pants. Said how everything will need to be tailored. I asked where pants and jackets were that are on their site, he stated they are online only and not good quality and run very small. He continued to be annoyed that I would not commit to a suit starting at $300, and would not measure him. Only did a half ass job at a waist measurement. I advised him we were not purchasing anything because he was obviously annoyed about having to do his job of he wasn't making the bigger commission.

Between the service provided (or, lack thereof) and the insane cost ( for the price paid, the wedding party should have just bought suits), I would NEVER recommend your services.
