The people who work here are dedicated to their business. They adjusted my bridesmaid dress hem length in 5 days where David's Bridal wanted 2 months. The other girls in the wedding weren't happy with the adjustments & mine was perfect. I will be going here from now on. Thank you ! read more

Their seamstress is exceptional. Also, the gentleman who works upfront is so polite and professional

I needed some alterations for my wedding which is in October so I made an appt to come at the end of August so there was PLENTY of time. Which was totally unnecessary because it only took her one week to finish! I didn't need too much done, but still that's amazing I was expecting much longer. And you have a week after receiving it to go back if there are any issues, not that there was any! Everyone was nice and helpful and it was quick and easy and a fair price too. Definitely recommend getting anything done here, I was nervous to trust just anyone with my wedding dress but she was awesome! read more

What an outstanding business! I needed somewhat extensive alterations on my mother-of-the-groom gown. I started with something that was too small in the bust and too big everywhere else. It was too long, and needed a double hem, since the dress is chiffon over a lining. So I arrived 8 days ago, and was taken in immediately, even without an appointment. I tried it on for Lia. She patiently marked the hem, then we began to discuss what could be done about the rest. She knew exactly what to do to make it fit like a glove. As for the bustline, she suggested a two-prong approach, which consisted of bringing the shoulder straps up, and sewing bra cups right into the dress. I was skeptical, so she pinned the cups in, then shortened the straps, also with pins. The difference was absolutely amazing! It no longer looked like I had stuffed the top to the point of spilling out. No specialty bra needed, no bra of any kind needed, and as a bonus, I wouldn't have to spend the whole day tugging the back of a bra down so it wouldn't show above the low back. Perfect! Lia fixed it so it felt unbelievably secure, even with twisting and bending. Clearly, she knows all the extraordinary tricks of the trade. She pinned the sides to take them in, realigned long darts, and I was on my way. Lia had spent quite awhile with me to listen to what I wanted in a fit, and to make suggestions and show me her solutions. It took longer than I had expected, but Lia took it in stride, never made me feel like I was a bother. She was incredibly patient. I returned today, when I was told the gown would be finished, and it was. I tried it on, in case the fit needed some fine tuning. Nothing further was necessary. It fits me like a custom made, couturier gown! Lia made every line, every curve fit smoothly with nary a bump or wrinkle. It highlights the best features of my figure with an ease that belies all the great work she performed. I am beyond excited! The owner is very solicitous of his customers' needs. We chatted when I checked out. They do luggage and handbag repairs, shoe repairs, they make keys and sharpen knives, and repair leather goods, among other indispensable things. But first and foremost, this is THE place to go for all your alterations. Professional, competent seamstresses are hard to find, and worth their weight in gold if you can. They don't come better than Lia. She is the gold standard. I have usually done all my own alterations, having learned how to sew garments as a teen, graduating to tailoring later on. But getting it right with a long double hem on yourself is very difficult at best, downright impossible at worst. So I needed help this time. As one who is no stranger to a needle and thread, I can say Lia is expert at her trade. She will wave her magic wand and get to work on your garments to make you look like a queen. Kudos to Hem Over Heels - they are SO much more than just a cute name! read more

They completely brought my old knives back to life! It was worth the drive from WPB to Boynton. Great deal on the whole set and they even took the time to show me a better way to sharpen at home so that they can stay sharper longer. Definitely going to be a repeat customer. read more

Went in to get maxi dresses cut. Staff were friendly and quick. The work is good but very pricy for the minimal work required. I was provided a receipt with one price at drop off and when I went to pick up the items I was charged double the price. read more

I had such a great experience with this company! I came with a bridesmaid dress and some sweaters that were too long. I made an appointment and as soon as I came in I was seen and it was quick and easy. They are very nice and willing to make adjustments even after things are pinned. It was a very quick turn around! I tried everything on when I got home because I was in a rush and everything was perfect! They have a guarantee also which is nice in case something isn't quite right, but the quality is so well done I doubt it is used often! read more

Last year for our daughters Junior Prom we found Brenda and Hem over Heels. Naturally for homecoming and then finally her Senior Prom we came rushing back. Another perfect alteration to the dress of a lifetime. Thank you all so much for making our daughter look and feel like the queen she is! read more

See all

Update: During my following visit to pick up the jacket the gentleman mentioned previously discussed my issues and while we still disagreed on a few areas, he did make it right. He was polite and Respectful. In the end the job is quality and a reasonable turnaround time. Original: A word of caution to potential customers. I requested sleeves to be shortened on a leather jacket. When I dropped the jacket off I focused on quality and making sure the job was done right and didn't squabble on price or time frame at all. When I came to pick up the jacket the quality was good except that the opening at the end of the sleeves was now much larger. Considering that the leather jacket was equipped with zippers on the sleeves to give it a nice tight fit around the wrist, and altering the length and placement of these zippers was part of the sleeve job, I didn't expect the giant new opening at the end of the sleeve. I brought this up they said that they could easily tighten the sleeves, but it's a shame they didn't see it before because it's now much more work after they closed the stitching up. I didn't mind leaving the jacket to have it corrected, but was surprised that the gentleman behind the counter (who was not part of the original drop off and measuring) believed I should have known how the jacket would have turned out and told them what should be done. The added cost to open the jacket back up and tighten the sleeves was also mine to bear. This is not my line of work and I expect them to know what a tailoring job entails or at least asked me if I would like something extra. The women taking the measurements originally actually seemed incredibly confident and good at what they do. I didn't question that it would be right when I came to pick it up. I would strongly recommend going over your project in extreme detail to make sure you're getting what you want. read more

That staff at Hem over Heels are AMAZING! I showed up the morning of my event to have the pant legs of my outfit hemmed. They were even able to let the zipper out for me, with same day service! Great job, supper friendly! I will be going to them for now on. :) read more

I am so glad I discovered this place on Yelp. I got fitted/measured by Brenda. She has a great personality & clearly knows what she's doing. I got 3 dresses altered here. One was a crepe material Lilly Pulitzer shift dress that needed quite a bit of altering & the hem done. Another was a studded leather dress that also required quite a bit of altering & the 3rd dress was a maxi dress with very thin fabric that just needed the hem taken up. I picked them up today & needless to say, I am beyond pleased. I will be having all my future alterations done here. Prices are reasonable & comparable to other tailors I've gone to in the area but I was very pleased with Brenda, her personality & of course her work. read more

I just recently moved to the area and didn't really know where to take my jeans to get a button sewn back on. I brought them in to Hem Over Heels when I got off work at 6, hoping to have them for an event the next day but also knowing that they closed at 7. They were extremely kind and helpful and got the button sewn on perfectly and in time for me to pick them up before they closed that day. They took an extra step to help me out even when it wasn't necessary and the quality of their work is supreme. read more

I am very pleased with the work that is done here. I am a newbie to Florida so as any other profession I needed to find someone to alter my clothing. I am short so everything is long on me. I had work uniforms to alter and the lovely women who did them did an amazing job. She listened and does exactly what I ask for. You don't need an appt you can walk in and try your clothes on and she will pin them right away. Price doesn't matter to me when you get what you ask for. As for everyone that complains about price keep this in mind .... seamstress work is a skill and a talent! Would you like someone to tell you what your skill is worth? I don't think anyone would appreciate that at all. We all take pride in what we do or we wouldn't do it. They give you a receipt of what you are going to pay before you leave so there are no surprises. This is my second visit and I would like to thank hem over heels for a great service ! read more

Horrible service, over priced and the "fix" is worst than the problem! Don't waste your time or money!

Excellent service and great quality here. I brought my luggage in to be fixed and they did a great job. I returned with a wooden block of Wolfgang Puck knives and they sharpened all of them for me and showed me how to care for them in the future. I cannot say enough about the kind, professional, friendly service that you will receive here. read more

Just had a leather strap on a new coach fanny pack extended 12 inches! Josh did an impeccable job , you can't even tell the the strap is not original. There was a very quick turn around as well, dropped it off Monday evening close to closing and had it by Friday! Very happy with the work done and will certainly be returning to have more items altered/repaired. read more

Needed a last minute hem on New Years Eve for my suit and they delivered! I called at 11:15 am and had my pants ready by 1:30 pm. Excellent, speedy service and reasonably priced! Will return in the future! read more

Helpful. friendly and professional. I needed and "emergency (same day) hemming" of a skirt and Hem Over Heels had it ready by 4pm for a reasonable price. Thank you! read more

Glad I found this place. I needed to get my bridesmaid dress altered because for a short girl like me, all long dresses are too long for me. I went in and they knew what needed to be done. I paid in advance to get the discount and saved some $$ there. It was ready in to pick up the next week and it came out perfect. read more

Have only good things to say. They've re-soled and repaired many many high end Gucci, ferragamo, Louis Vuitton shoes for me...also died a red Gucci purse, cleaned baby bags and other handbags I mean they are awesome...have also used them for embroidery. It's an awesome neighborhood shoe repair, alterations just about anything you can think of! Recommend to anyone read more

They were very nice, quick, and reasonable (even offered a discount for first time client). Repaired a pair of 45 year old white bucks (from grad school). Like new and still with the old dirt! My wife wants to go there and try them on repairing some very very expensive shoes, which few even want to attempt because of the high original price. read more

Josh was a great help! Brought a pair of leather shoes in that had taken a beating and he made them look better than new! He was also very helpful in answering my many questions about caring for my other leather shoes. I also bought a shoe cleaning solvent and some nice polish from him that worked great to treat my other shoes. Also I had my leather jacket tailored by them and they did a great job, couldn't be happier! I believe this local establishment deserves recognition for their good work and customer service. read more

Hem Over Heels - It's the dress on the left. - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Boynton Beach, Florida

I truly had a bridesmaid emergency, wedding was a week away and my dress was cut completely down the side with some additional tears throughout it. When I picked up the dress though it looked brand new! I was completely stressed out about how it was going to turn out but it hardly had any visible stitching and looked exactly as the original. Completely satisfied and happy with the result, 100% recommend. read more

Rubia was incredible-- she literally rebuilt a dress for me and I can't wait to wear it!! I will definitely be back!

Great experience. I had a gown hemmed. Hem over heels was clean and professional. Staff was polite, honest, and did great work. I will definitely be going back in the future. read more

I was totally impressed with the work done to my designer purse...that NO OTHER SHOE REPAIR WOULD TOUCH! It looks just like new and I was so happy not just because I love it but also because the designer is dead. Please go here and find out for yourself that miracles still happen!!!!! read more

Hem Over Heels is fantastic. I have a designer dress that arrived damaged, and I was determined to fix it so it was wearable. Four tailors, including two from the designer itself, examined the dress and said the damage was irreparable. Hem Over Heels was able to remove the snap buttons and add a hidden tab with normal buttons, so the dress looks fantastic and won't be a pain in the ass every time I put it on or take it off. Lia is a legitimate magician- I can't believe she was able to fix it, she was utterly patient with me when I wanted some small changes made, and it looks great. I'm so happy with the service from Hem Over Heels. I'll go back to them for everything in the future. read more

Been using them for a few years. Everything from clothes alterations, fixing shoes, pocketbook repairs to custom sheets and even stuffed animal repairs. Great work that they stand by. Highly recommend. read more
