Brought in a tennis dress I got off Amazon to get hemmed. Took a week and was $27. The ladies who run this shop were very lovely and I was happy to support their business during this time. The quality of work was good and I'm pleased! Note that they accept cash/check only and they are only open Tuesdays during COVID! read more

I brought in top and skirt that required 5 inches+ taken in. I'm from out of town and needed the work to be done in 2 days and the owner took on the work. I was only charged $22 for the modifications that were done in a day and a half and I am so grateful for her. She even added an additional button and metal clasps that my dress didn't come with and I am so grateful. It's a small business and I found it to be super welcoming and so so helpful. I really appreciate the owner and her skills. Thank you!!! read more

Jalli Alterations - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Kenmore, Washington

I called and was scheduled to come in to drop off an evening gown and a wedding gown. Everyone was nice and communication seemed great. On the day I was supposed to pick up my evening gown I was reassured multiple times that they opened at 10AM. I come at 10AM and they are closed. Called and they said someone would be there at 10:45AM. I wait outside until 10:45AM only for them to tell me someone would be there at 12PM. They tell me they have the flu but would come and give me my gown because I was flying out the next day and needed it. I am very understanding about. I go home and come back at 12PM. Mind you, I let them know I live 40 minutes away and to please let me know ASAP if they need to reschedule so I don't make the 40 minutes drive. 12PM, they let me know they will be there at 12:30PM. So I wait in my car until close to 1PM that someone drives up and gives me my gown. Comes to find out, someone else was in the store the entire time that I am sitting in my car waiting. While on the trip, I cannot be sure if my gown was actually taken in at the knees (supposed to be mermaid style) or not. It honestly doesn't feel like it was and I felt disappointed with the fit but told myself that at least the most important thing was done, the gown was cut short so I am not going to dwell on it and just enjoy my vacation. The wedding gown was supposed to be done a couple weeks later, we had agreed on end of May. Radio silence Early June comes around, I ask about my wedding gown, they tell me it will be done the next week. Fine. On the scheduled day its supposed to be ready. They let me know they both have the flu (again) and it would be another week at 3PM. Fine. On the scheduled day, they tell me 15 minutes before pick up time (mind you, I am already on my way there since I am 40 minutes away) they tell me they cannot make it due to family issues. It was not an emergency and they could have told me hours before me already on my way there. Tells me to come the next day at 10AM. Next day at 10AM, they tell me they cannot make it due to personal appointment and to come at 12PM. Finally I get my dress in hand and am met with the super aggressive owner as if we're the unreasonable ones. I have been EXTREMELY patient and understanding through this whole ordeal. I've already wasted a ton of time with this place and am super irritated but I have my dress finally and I am going to be understanding of maybe a really difficult time in someone's life. I wasn't going to write a review and just let it go. I come home to open the garment bag only to find out THEY USED WHITE FABRIC TO MAKE THE CORSET OF MY BLUSH PINK WEDDING GOWN!!! They obviously do not care at all except about their cash only payment. If they cannot be bothered to get blush fabric then simply return my dress to me so I can find another alterations place to do it correctly. I literally have to go get this taken off and done again after wasting SO much time AND money $200+ with these people. read more

Based on Yelp reviews, I tried this business out for the first time a few weeks ago. Getting a basic hem on the arms of a new blazer, the finished product was satisfactory. They charge you for credit card usage so bring cash to save a buck or two. read more

Four times I tried to go to this tailor, all during their reported business hours, but they were never open. It's been a big waste of my time and it's unfortunate because they are close to my home. I'm going to have to go elsewhere, unfortunately. read more

I needed a dress that was too big for me altered in less than two days. Prior to visiting, I thought there was no way they'd be able to get it done in time. To my surprise, they were able to finish it in 30 minutes! Amazing service, and super nice ladies. Would definitely come back again! **Bring cash or check** read more

I had a dress that needed to get shortened. it was way too long for a petite girl like me. So I went to Jalli Alterations. She was very friendly and offered her advice/suggestions. She also told me what she had to do so that I was aware of the work she was putting into the dress. It cost me $50, which I thought was pretty expensive (It cost the same as the dress did!) But the dress did come out nice. My one "eh" about this place is that she only has one area to change/try on clothes. I got stuck waiting for this one woman who probably brought in her whole wardrobe to get altered and all I needed to do was try on the dress to see if her alterations looked nice. I waited probably 30 - 40 minutes to get into the changing room. I was in and out in less than 5. Grumble. My rating was for the entire experience. If you are looking to alter your dress I would say come her if you want to be sure it will come out right. read more

I took in a pair of beloved yoga slacks for a consultation re a failing posterior seam. I mentioned that my mother had previously tried to remedy the stitch work, without success. She asked me a few questions, gave me a reasonable quote and told me to come back in 4 days. She delivered a superior service. It stands up to high frequency stretching, sitting, tugging and frequent washings. A very happy customer. read more

I can't tell you how lucky I was to find this shop. She saved the day! I came to her with a wedding dress that needed to be altered within a few hours, and she came through for me. She told me it was no problem, and it looked absolutely perfect. Thank you! read more

I had actually requested a quote from another business to have 3 patches sewn on my jacket, but Yelp allowed me to get quotes from other places I hadn't considered at the same time. I'm glad they did, because while Jalli isn't that close to where I live, the price, service and quality were well worth the drive. The best part of the experience was Jalli herself. She does good work and was a pleasure to deal with. read more

My friend referred me to this little shop in Kenmore, and I love it. It feels cozy and welcoming, and the lady did a great job with the hem of my jeans. Within a couple days of pinning them, she had them ready for me, and the results were just what I wanted. read more

Better than getting my husband new jeans but pretty pricey. 33 for a hem on 2 pairs of Levi's.

I had a cocktail dress altered for a party. I was VERY pleased with the alteration!! My dress fit perfectly and I felt so comfortable in it all night long. Great experience...I reccommend!! read more

Jalli is amazing!! I never put up reviews, but I must for her!! I ordered a dress offline and, because of my curves, I was unsure what size I should get. I sized down instead of up, and that was a huge mistake as I couldn't get the zipper past the lower portion of my back. I went to Jalli to see if she could do anything to help as the event the dress was for is for an upcoming event. We decided that she would rehaul the zipper so that it was shorter, and that she would leave a cutout in the back where the dress couldn't zip (there was a closure at the top so it made this plausible). I dropped my dress off on a Thursday and she called me to pick it up the next Tuesday (super speedy!!). After going to try it on, there were some things that needed to be fixed so I left it with her for one more night and she had it ready for me the next day before 1pm. The dress fits like a glove and you would never know that the back didn't have that cutout originally. The dress also was completely jeweled on the back so she had to remove and reposition jewels, and it looks fantastic!! I would highly recommend going to Jalli. She's very talented, extremely professional, and willing to work with you. I would trust her with any alteration. If you couldn't tell from this extremely lengthy review, I am one extremely happy customer!! read more

Jalli Alterations - The finished product. The cutout wasn't originally there, there was a zipper that went all the way up the back! Super impressed!! - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Kenmore, Washington

I went here to get a pair of pants altered. Jalli said it would take 9 days. I have never had a seamstress say it would take that long for a simple pants hem. I wanted to pay at that time, but then she said I would be charged $3-4 if I used my debit card. When I came to pick them up on a Saturday I got there at 11:15am and it had opened at 11am. She was not there and had taken a break. It opened 15 minutes before and she had already left to take a break. I had to wait fifteen minutes for her to arrive. She gets there and parks directly in front of the store where I would guess customers would like to park. That's not a big deal, but it shows you about her customer service. I won't go here again. Super slow for a simple hem and not great CS. read more

Jali Alterations did a great job with my wedding alterations. Since the moment I walked in I felt welcome and like the owner/store operator was willing to help me in any way. The customer service was so much better than at the other alteration places I had walked into, so this one definetely got my business. Jali Alterations is everything you ever wanted from an alteration place... I can't say enough about them. Needless to say, my experience was outstanding. read more

Was very specific on the service I needed for tapering jeans over the phone and she quoted me $25ish with a hem, but when I went in she said it was $40. DO NOT GO HERE, they'll rip you off! read more

Great local business in Kenmore. Alterations well done and reasonably priced.

A good friend recommended Jali to us for some alterations. We were not disappointed! We had a formal Homecoming dress that needed some sparkly accents. Jali did a beautiful job and was reasonably priced. When we got the dress back home the evening before Homecoming, the zipper broke! Yikes! We ran back to Jali's and she repaired it on such short notice. She was once again gracious and within budget. We were stressed, but she was not! I would use her services again in a heartbeat and would highly recommend her to everyone. read more

I had some particular and specific things I wanted for my wedding dress. After receiving big promises and horrific results from a dress maker in China, I bought an off-the-rack dress, dyed it and started searching for a tailor. I have definitely found that having a great fit can really make a look, so I didn't want to skimp on tailoring.... but I also only had about 12 days to turn an ordinary dress into a "wedding dress". I took my two best options to Jalli, who promised to have them back to me within a week. The next day she called to let me to tell me they were finished. I have had tailoring done on work clothes before and wanted something a little better for this occasion. She did a fantastic job. The fit is great and it looks like they were made that way from the start, instead of being altered. Bonus points for her calm, no-nonsense demeanor. When we were looking at the dress, she distinguished between "the cheap way" and "the right way" to alter the dress, in a non-judgmental way I appreciated. For some clothes, I might have wanted the cheap way. For this, I wanted "the right way". Thank you Jalli, for making this bride's life a bit less stressful. read more

I've very, very pleased with the alterations and advice I receive here. The owner is really nice and the quality of the work is wonderful. I've had slacks taken in and shortened, jeans shortened and a blouse taken in all over for a better fit. It's all good and I'm happy to have found her. Thanks! read more

My spouse and I are long time customers who have used many seamstresses over the years and in more than one state. Jalli is our favorite. Her work is impeccable and she is always very pleasant and accommodating. She has altered (and repaired) almost every conceivable article of clothing for us...new and old alike...and is very understanding when we need something done in a short period of time. She always follows-through. In addition, she is an artist and her unique one-of-a-kind greeting cards and other items are displayed for sale throughout her shop. read more

I have been using Jalli services for more then 20 years and she does quality work, her prices are very reasonable if fact sometime I pay her more for a job well done. read more
