I've been here before, back in February 2026 to have a bridesmaid dress altered and they did a…read morewonderful job, so I didn't hesitate to return. Unfortunately, my experience this time was completely different. I brought in a simple double layered dress that only needed to be hemmed and was quoted $140, more than the dress itself! I was told that because it had two layers, it was essentially like "hemming two dresses." At $70 a layer, I guess every layer counts. I then asked about simply taking in the waist of a pair of jeans. I was initially quoted $25, but after looking at them again, I was told there was suddenly "a lot more work" involved and that I had been quoted incorrectly. At that point, I took both items and left. I went to another alterations shop and was quoted under $100 for BOTH the dress and the jeans. It seems management may have changed since my last visit, which is unfortunate because I was previously very happy with their work. Hopefully the pricing doesn't continue in this direction, because $140 to hem a simple dress is pretty hard to justify.

Alterations can be tricky…read more If they charge a lot you may assume it's great (and it might not be.) If they don't charge enough you assume it's bad (and it might not be.) Alterations to go is a nice balance. I recently got a new pair of Paige jeans hemmed and it only set me back $15. Both sides even, nice cuff - not much more you could ask for. Looks like the store did it themselves. I have a jacket that needs some zipper work and another pair of dress pants for work (that I might need sometime in 2022 at this point) so I'll be come here for both of those. Nice staff, quick turnaround, and great finished product.

The staff is generally fine, although there is one woman who tends to be curt. Most recently, I went and the 3 staff started laughing when I came out of the fitting room. They asked if I spoke Spanish. When I replied no, they proceeded to speak in Spanish. It was strange to ask and the rest of the interaction was uncomfortable. When I asked for clarity on a price the attitude I got back was enough to walk away. $60 for any dress that has a lining; even if it's a simple cotton sundress. She could have explained it without being on her phone and sounding so condescending.

It breaks my heart to have to write this review , however I believe that after being a customer for…read morealmost 5 + years I deserved better service . The place is a bit pricey but I never had an issue paying because service was good . I dropped off a special occasion dress 2 weeks ago to get cut . It was a gown that I requested to be cut SHORT at knee length . Went back to pick it up 2 weeks later and when I got home the dress was cut at tea length and it looked like the perfect outfit for a nun to wear and not a special event . I called and said I was bringing the dress back on Tuesday , however after rethinking the situation I realized I could not attend my Saturday event with this dress the way it was . I went in on Saturday morning and she wasn't in , her kids said she would be back before 1pm so I asked them to call her and see if she could fix the mistake today as I needed the dress by no later than 2-3pm . She then proceeded to tell me she doesn't do same day alterations blah blah blah . Making a long story short I was charged $145 for a bad alteration not to my expectation and was left to deal with it . I honestly expected better customer service considering the amount of money I spent in this place over the years . I had to take the dress elsewhere to get altered to my standards and pay again wasting time and money I didn't have . So I don't really recommend this services because all will go well until it doesn't and when it doesn't there's NO EFFORT on their part to address your concern .. I'm left with a dress u can't wear on a Saturday when no one else is available and at the day of my event .
