I needed some alterations to a vintage tuxedo to wear to my daughter's wedding - and Jae did a wonderful job! Expert alterations at a reasonable price with personal, friendly service. What I loved most is that Jae went the extra mile - instead of simply shortening the pants, she expertly tapered the legs, crotch and seat. The garment looks like it was made for me! Please support this great local business. In this age of disposability, it's a blessing to find local craftspeople who deliver fantastic service and a personal touch. Thank, you, Jae! read more

I wish I had taken pictures of the clothes that we had taken in for repair. I had a very expensive soft silk sweater that have kept in my closet for 2 years because it had a hole in the back of it. It was repaired so beautifully that I can't even tell where it was and I'm extremely impressed. My husband also had a very expensive sweater that our dog chewed a hole in and it was also repaired without being able to see where that was done. I will definitely be taking anything I need for alteration or repair to the shop going forward. I am super impressed!. read more

Very complete service for both men and women. The items were finished, tried on and fit perfectly.

Jae's used to be my "go-to" place for alterations and repairs. They have a new lady running the counter now ( ownership change??) and the prices have tripled! Have to find another option, too expensive now. read more

Very nice and did an exceptional job. Highly recommend. I don't need a lot of alterations but this is my new place.

Super happy with Jae's. I went in to get a bridesmaid dresses hemmed and they were helpful, kind, and very quick. I would recommend them for all your alteration needs. read more

Very good work-nice people to do business with--they make it possible for me to have things taken in and not replace

I'm so happy I found Jae's. Not only are the owners lovely, but the alterations are impeccable.

Absolutely beautiful tailoring. After I raved about my dress alteration, my husband, who gets everything he wears tailored, went to Jae's and was equally impressed. He had tried at least three other tailors in town, and wasn't happy with them. He is very happy with Jae's. read more

To sum up, this lady and her husband are literally the best. She is very knowledgeable on alteration services, and will give her advice and honestly let you know what she can or cannot accomplish. I first came to her for my Wedding Dress alterations. My dress has very intricate and delicate fabric and EXPENSIVE so I did a lot of research in finding a good place to get alterations done. I also live in Jacksonville, so I literally drive all the way to Wilmington for this lady, and I'm so glad I did. Other shops in my area were very hit or miss, and the place my bridal shop recommended "may not be able to complete alterations in time," for my March wedding. I was seeking services at the end of December. So, I landed on this place. She did an amazing job, and it only took her two weeks!! Not to mention the pricing was decent. After this, we came back to get my husbands suit altered, and I went back to get a ball gown altered as well, in which she had to adjust the waist bigger and alter the zipper. And again, exceptional service and really happy with the result. I never did get a call from them when the dresses or suit were done, so I just went back there on or after the date she said she'd have it done. And she did, every time. So just keep that in mind, you may have to call or go in to inquire about whether or not it's ready, but 100% guarantee it will be by the date she gives you. She is definitely my go to now. read more

They are SOOO nice and do an incredible job with alterations. They're really flexible with getting your item done by the time you need it.

My friend had her wedding dress altered by someone else twice, and it was nearly ruined. Suji at Jae's altered the wedding dress, and we loved the dress even more than when she first tried it on. The changes made the dress even more beautiful. Highly recommend!! read more

I needed a few things altered & repaired. My grandmother used to be a seamstress (as in made all of the majorette uniforms for my mother growing up) so my mom is VERY quick to notice seams & tailoring even when she buys clothes or remarks on my outfit. When I gave my mom her clothes she inspected the items I had fixed for her and she quickly said "wow! They are GOOD!!!" And pointed out different aspects of why this was such a good job. The alterations looked like you bought it that way, it didn't look obvious at all. I'll definitely go to them in the future. Oh, and it was done quickly and at a very fair price. read more

I needed a bridesmaid dress taken in 2 sizes and hemmed for an upcoming wedding. They were quick, efficient and reliable. The dress was done in less than a week and cost much less than I was anticipating. read more

Fantastic service, great repairs, and very friendly! They remember their customers and do nice work. I highly recommend this place!

I needed my dress taken in 3 days before my brothers wedding and they did it in less than 24 hours and it is amazing!!

I had a good experience coming to this shop and I definitely will come again in the future should I have any other alteration needs. I had a torn pocket in a pair of dress pants and they had the rip repaired the following day for a modest price. They were professional and I recommend this shop. read more

great work as always ! i have been a loyal , happy customer for 8 or 9 years and never once was disatisfied with their work ! wonderful , charming folks also !! god bless ! read more

Great service and fast turn around time. I would recommend taking all items needing alterations to Jae.

Jae's offers quality alterations with quick turnaround at a reasonable price. Very friendly and better customer service from other places in town that I've tried. It's a small shop, so ladies, if you need bra cups sewn into a dress, stop by JoAnn Fabrics and pick up a pair for her to work with. Not big enough to carry all the different sizes and styles customers may need. read more

Excellent work on replacing a zipper on a winter coat! Truly professional. I highly recommend. Will be bringing all of my alteration needs to Jae's. read more

Jae's Alterations shop is up and running again. The new shop looks great the owners are happy to be back in business!

Fast, accurate service. She's very sweet and will have your clothes altered for you as soon as the next day if you ask politely!

Quick and friendly service. Super reasonable prices and my bridesmaids dress will be hemmed in just. Few days. Will return for any other alterations. read more

Jae did a gorgeous job on a supposedly unfixable jacket along with a bunch of other "saves" of favorite items. Not too expensive, very nice and very quick. Wonderful. read more

I love this place! The owners know me and are always very nice and helpful!! I came here on Saturday afternoon that I needed temporarily hemmed same day and she fixed same day for me! She did great job~~ read more

Love this place! Going to be my go to alteration place. Service was great and the shop owner gave me great advice on the bridesmaid dress I was altering. She was patient even when I called the bride to see what she preferred as far as floor length etc. I got a strapless dress altered to be tighter and it fit like a glove. The hem of the dress was perfect as well. All that paired with the good prices made it a great spot. It cost me $75 for the alterations I described. read more

Love this place! They are very professional, provide a quick turnaround and do excellent work. Prices are reasonable. I had several things altered here and have consistently been pleased. read more

When I started using this alteration shop I was pleased with the work and turn around time. In the last year I liked the work well enough to have spent 3,000.00 with her. Unfortunatly over the last 4 months things have changed. I took her 9 new suits to alter and 8 needed rework. She measured the sleeves correctly and gave me a rather far out completion date. When the date arrived, only 1 piece was ready fro pick up. It took her 3 more weeks to complete the alterations (sleeves, suspender buttons and cuffs) and non of the sleeves were done correctly, in fact they were all inches shorter thean they should have been. I am now into this horror 8 weeks and she still owes me 1 suit. The work was less than professional and the dates the materials were promised came and went. Jae is a pleasant woman but I think she sells snake oil. WATCH OUT read more

I love this woman! Two times now I have had to get something altered very last minute. The first time I needed to get my new pants altered within that day for a new job I had started! She did a wonderful job! It was a quality alteration job for a very reasonable price. Jae was such a friendly and sweet lady and I will go back to her every time! I have already recommended her to everyone I know! read more
