She also made both me and my fiancee feel completely comfortable, safe and cared for during every visit. My second look dress is made completely of beads, making tailoring and alterations incredibly challenging. She did it perfectly speaking to her talent, attention to detail and experience. She also does not up charge for her alterations, and understands that weddings are incredibly expensive, and how impactful it is to have dress alterations not cost an arm and a leg. I cannot say enough about how incredible Svetlana is, and how her work speaks to her dedication to every person who walks in the door. Thank you for everything!!

Svetlana is one of the most beautiful souls I have ever had the privilege of meeting. From the very…read morefirst phone call to inquire about alterations for my wedding dress, I could already sense that she was so warm, attentive, and genuinely kind. Meeting her in person only confirmed it. She listened carefully to every single one of my needs and accommodated each one with such grace and care. My wedding dress is chiffon, and she created the most gorgeous custom bustle in the back that made it look beautifully layered and flowing. Beyond her extraordinary skill, she made me feel beautiful. She complimented me, lifted my spirits, and even took the time to teach me how to walk without tripping on my train. That kind of thoughtfulness goes so far beyond what any seamstress is required to do. After I picked up my perfectly hemmed, bustled, and altered dress, I had a small panic moment (actually, a major panic moment) when I realized the style looked slightly different than I remembered from when I originally ordered it from Anthropologie. I called Svetlana in a near meltdown, and without hesitation, she invited me to come in that very same day. Within 20 minutes, she had fixed everything flawlessly!! I was in disbelief!! Svetlana is a true miracle worker, and anyone who gets to work with her is incredibly, incredibly lucky. I will be forever grateful that she was a part of my wedding journey!!! I love you, Svetlana!!!!

Extremely unprofessional…read more When I originally called to make an appointment, she insisted that I go see her that day. Instead, I told her that I would prefer tomorrow, and she reluctantly agreed. On the day of her appointment, she never showed. I finally called her, and she completely forgot, and claimed she was sick "coughing and bleeding" (really?) but she would be fine tomorrow, if I wanted to make another appointment. She didn't even have the grace to pretend she was sick on the phone. Furious at this horrible service.

I also found a really nice wool jacket cheap at Value Village that I needed taken in. Anita at Sew & Sew took them both in beautifully. I am the daughter of a seamstress, so I know how hard these two coats were going to be, my mother didn't have the equipment to do it so I went to Anita on a whim. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and creative when it came to how to bring the coats in. I have gotten great compliments on both coats, and the fully lined wool coat my seamstress mother was even impressed by. She promised both coats in about a week, and I got them a day early! Overall, I will be back to Anita with some cute skirts and dresses. She is amazing.

Little did I realize they were a gem of the Lynnwood scene for a long time. I needed to get my daughter's prom dress cleaned quickly. Like I wrote above--a two-day turnaround. The staff didn't bat an eye. "Of course we can do it." Those golden words singing from their lips nearly gave me an out-of-body experience. The result? Perfection. The dress looks great.

My wife and I were in a pinch to get our wedding dresses altered (due to taking a while finding the best dress) before our elopement in August. I reached out to several alterations places end of and they didn't have availability and were booking for fall weddings, it wasn't looking great. I was then referred to Iwona, and she was so reassuring and was very open to not only taking on my dress to be completed by Aug 1, but also my wife's dress. Iwona altered both of our dresses in tandem and kept both of them a secret to the other because we wanted a big surprise. Each of us went in for several quick sessions a few weeks in a row, it was so easy. She is a wizard at altering dresses, it is truly incredible the work she does. The number of hours and details and precision that goes into each dress that has to be exactly what the bride wanted. Iwona- you are truly so talented! I also typically do not like dresses and was not looking forward to wearing one when I was shopping, but when I met Iwona for initial consultation and talked about alterations, I felt reassured it could turn out really great. She made the dress I found come to life and feel so flattering through her alterations. She is so kind as a person and skilled at what she does, and I felt like we were on the same page the whole time. She even finished the dresses a few weeks before the date we decided just in case we wanted more adjustments. She absolutely puts 100% in her projects and is a powerhouse seamstress Iwona made me feel really beautiful in my dress and I can't thank you enough!! My wife's dress turned out so wonderfully, it was such a fun surprise to have a first look at our dresses and see Iwona's magic. I wish I had more dresses for Iwona to alter! I couldn't recommend Iwona enough for trusting someone with altering your wedding dresses. Thank you so much Iwona for your wonderful work and kindness.

I have never written a review before but the experience I had with Melanie of Details Sewing was so…read moreawful that I feel I need to respond. I had a very special dress I purchased for a cruise ship dinner "Dress up night" on my upcoming cruise. It was a blue satin dress with a blue lace overlay to just below the hips. I took it to Melanie to shorten the dress portion about 2 inches and take the "A" line look off the sides for a pencil skirt look. While I was wearing the dress, she pinned the hem and sides to what I wanted. The cost was $105.00. When I went to pick up the dress I was so shocked I couldn't come up with words. She did not hem the dress or take in the sides, she cut the entire lower portion of the dress off and hemmed it to the length of the lace overlay. I no longer have a dress, I have a lace tunic that I can't wear without a bottom skirt, pants, whatever. She totally ruined the dress. I asked her what was she thinking and she responded "Well, mistakes happen" I, of course, did not pay her. But now I did not have a dress for "Dress up night." My beautiful dress is gone. When I went to pick up the dress, she appeared to be experiencing emotional problems. I think she needs professional help.

Melanie has done several projects for me: replacing a jacket zipper, repairing a torn pillow…read morezipper, and making a couple of custom seat cushions. She is timely in her delivery, honest with her pricing, and prompt in her communication. With the cushion project, she went as far as to go with me to the fabric store to pick out fabric and even used several coupons to get me a much better deal on all the supplies. Melanie takes pride in her craft.
