I recently went to Grace's to have a skirt and dress altered and I'm so happy with their work! They are so friendly and helpful! The dress pictured is an XS vintage dress I found thrift shopping. It was just a little bit too small to fit. They were able to add some extra fabric and take it out. Now it fits perfectly and looks beautiful! I'm amazing at the quick turn around and their attention to detail. I will definitely go back again very soon! read more

Grace's Tailor Shop - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Wilmington, Delaware

Could not be happier with every garment I put in their hands!. I highly recommend eperiencg their amazing work here! They are so patient and go above and beyond to make sure you feel beautiful in your piece. I went here for my wedding dress in 2015 and knew i wouldn't go anywhere else after that experience. They made me feel absolutely beautiful and were willing to work with me until they knew that I did! They adjusted the dress to fit my body like a glove. I am now currently having a bridesmaid dress altered for a friends wedding in a few weeks. Their timing is amazing and communicate with me through the entire process thus far! When I first brought the dress to them from the store, I was feeling so defeated because it gave me absolutely no support in the bust area and made me feel terrible. Not only did they assure me we were going to make it work, but went above and beyond helping me with different options to help me feel more secure in my areas of concen. I just went back in today to try it and once again they have kept their promise!! They truly do such amazing work and I share this because nothing is more important than how you feel about yourself. I was so grateful to feel such relief after the fitting, knowing I wouldn't be feeling self conscious at this wedding and was even happier when they genuinely shared in this happiness with me! Graces tailor shop is much more than just a place to have alterations. It is family that makes you feel important, cared about and always beautiful by the time you get the final piece! And they are with you every step of the way! Amanda P. read more

While the woman in the shop was pleasant, they made a pretty big mistake with my dress. I brought my dress in to have the straps and hem shortened. It took about a week, which I thought was a decent turnaround time. Unfortunately when shortening the straps they sewed the front straps together and the back straps together which then made the sides of the dress the front and back. When I came in to try it on she was a little apologetic once we figured out what happened but explained that she must have been distracted (obviously). I told her I needed it ASAP (mostly out of fear that I would have to buy a new dress) so she fixed it and I picked it up the next day. It turned out fine. The woman did apologize (but also laughed about it!), however did not offer any kind of discount on the already outrageous alteration prices (and yes, I asked). On top of that, I was charged more than a friend of mine for the same alterations on a very similar dress. I'll be going elsewhere next time. read more

Grace's Tailor Shop did the alterations for my wedding dress. I wore my mom's dress, and they did a fantastic job making complicated alterations for it to fit me! They were wonderful to work with and the dress turned out beautifully. read more

They did a wonderful job shortening my dads jacket sleeves. It was a Sherpa jacket with an intricate lining that had to be tapered in order to shorten. I went to 3 other places who all refused to take on the job because of rhe complicated nature of the project. But Grace's said yes immediately. They had it done within the week, and I thought their charge was very reasonable. Graces fixed a dress for me years ago that had very intricate design work that was coming apart. They did a beautiful on in that too. I'm glad I remembered them for my dads coat and I will go to them for all of my tailoring work from now on. I highly recommend. read more

Would not even give this joke of a business 1 star if I could. My daughter took her wedding dress here and they absolutely hacked the tulle at the bottom of the dress instead of cutting it in a straight line. I could have done better and I'm no seamstress. My younger daughter, who was in the wedding, had her bridesmaid's dress altered at the same time - horrendous! I had to pick it up for her and when she tried it on, the front was longer than the back. If she would have worn it as is, she would have tripped over the hem. It's like they forgot to hem the front of it at all. We had it fixed elsewhere. Stay far away from these idiots. read more

Absolutely horrendous. My sister brought her wedding dress to be altered by Grace and I cannot express what a mistake that was. My sister needed the bodice of her dress taken it a tiny bit and needed a bustle. At our first appointment, Grace eyeballed the bodice measurements but assured us of her expertise and experience. We went in yesterday to try on the finished product and the dress was not even close to being able to fit. Grace had accidentally taken in the dress more than THREE INCHES TOO MUCH such that the dress wouldn't even zip up. We were upset and inquired into how this could have possibly have happened, and the other store owner LAUGHED AND told us that this "just happens." How does it happen that a seamstress accidentally takes in a wedding dress over three inches instead of one inch?? They didn't even apologize! Then, when she checked the bustle, we saw that they had accidentally sewed too far into the dress and someone sewed the inner layer of the dress to the overlaying lace?!? Once again, instead of apologizing, the owners blew us off and continued to talk over us. They were incredibly rude and curt and unapologetic about horrendously messing up someone's wedding dress a month before the wedding. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND NEVER GO HERE FOR ANYTHING. read more
