hWelcome to Houston Chinatown! We have a highly skilled tailor called Axiu 阿秀改衣 who can use her seamstress magic to make your unfit wardrobes into something lovely.
I have been looking at this establishment for years. Because it's on the second floor of Building C at Dun Huang Plaza, I hardly walk upstairs. But She have been working at this location for quite some times. I was here the other day to check out the new massage parlor 7 Day Spa. I was amazed to see the size of her shop. They don't sell anything but just alterations.
I used to go to Lily's Alteration until it gave me a bad taste when Yammy Street opened few years ago. Axiu's shop has roomier changing room than Lily's and spacious showroom for brides to try out their gowns. That's a big plus compared to Lily's cramped space and full of clothes for sale.
This place is bright, brighter than all other seamstress shops I have been to. Lighting is important for her and for customers. I was examining the sewing pattern on my yoga pants to make sure the thread color matching. Wow. I couldn't even see this was altered.
She speaks Mandarin to me. I don't know how fluent with English. She works hard as she is there everyday 10 am to 7 pm. My order was ready next day. read more
