    Some ripping on the cuff and the sleeve placket is too close to the cuff rendering the functionality of that button useless.

    I had two shirts' sleeves taken up here. They cut the cuff off, cut the excess fabric which they measured with me wearing the shirts beforehand, and it still came up too short. The gauntlet button on the sleeve placket is now way too close to the cuff so it's now a pain to unbutton and I can't roll up my sleeves as easily. If I leave the button undone so I can roll them up, it puckers and looks bad. Furthermore, the sewing done wasn't very good at all. It was frayed and ripping within the next day. Unfortunately there's also a communication gap since they mainly only speak Spanish. They can understand and communicate but for something so specific like tailoring where exact measurement is needed, they couldn't quite understand what I was saying. What's worse is that when the sleeves were cut too short, she acted like it was what I wanted when I specifically told her where I wanted the cuff to hit on my wrist. I had to insist her to redo it and it still came up too short. She also threw away the original shirt fabric she cut so there was no going back at that point to fix it. In conclusion, I ended up having to buy two new shirts to replace the ones they botched.

    Skilled, fast, available, and ready from the moment I walked in. Don't bother going anywhere else.

    They've expertly hemmed garment for me within five minutes. They're wonderful. They only take cash so beware.

    I had a formal dress altered a few weeks ago, they were prompt and the dress looked great. Would definitely recommend their services!

    Inexpensive and quality work. Old school mom & pop. If you need the work same day it's done within 45 minutes.

    I never really give bad reviews, but I just want to share my experience with everybody here so that…read moreway they can be prepared for the possibilities. I really wanted to like this place. Sheila was fantastically friendly! She really knew what she was talking about when I was at my initial fitting and we were discussing what needed to get done. My dress was a little too long, and the zipper in the back wouldn't zip up the top 2 inches. A hem, lowering the zipper, and adding a little hook and eye cost about $103. You have to pay when you drop off your dress also (just an FYI). I did come a little close to the event asking for alterations. I dropped the dress off on April 10th (the wedding was April 19th and I was ok picking up the dress the day before if I had to because Sheila's reviews made me confident in her abilities). She said she could have it done in a week for me since these were "the easiest alterations" that she has been requested to do all week so I really wasn't worried. Here is where my hardships began... Fast forward to April 17th, the agreed upon date that I would pick up the dress. I walked into her beautiful store, and she looks extremely surprised to see me. She asked me which dress was mine, and then she explained that she actually didn't even start the alterations because she didn't properly put it in the system. Then she also explains to me that that she should probably hire an assistant. She reassured me that my alterations will be done by the following day (which I'm confused why she said it would take a week if she could do them so quickly.. but she seemed extremely busy so I get that there are other people who need their alterations before me). My anxiety is THROUGH THE ROOF at this point because I'm worried that I won't have a dress for the wedding that I am the maid of honor for. Again, probably my fault for coming 9 days before the wedding needing some alterations on a dress that didn't fit me too great. I don't think the alterations were too difficult though.. I come the following day, and my dress is ready. Sheila is doing a great job at juggling the 3 customers she has in the store at the time. She gives me my dress, and I try it on. The hem is great, but the zipper issue... I'm sorry to say this.. was NOT at all what I thought it would be. I think my roommate could have done a better job than this. Like even if the zipper was lowered just slightly below the waistband instead of on it like in the picture, it could've looked much better. I can definitely tell she was rushing. But the lack of cleaning up the threads just made me so uneasy about the quality of work I was receiving. She did not offer me a discount and was happy to send me on my way like this. I didn't think it was too bad in the moment until I took a closer look when I got home. Unfortunately, I didn't have the time to figure out a different dress situation. I was asked several times during the wedding if my zipper broke on me :( I had to explain that it's not broken and that these were the alterations made on my dress. Overall, I think Sheila's customer service was superb, and I think she's very knowledgeable which is why this isn't a 1 star review! Do I think she has the capacity for new customers? Absolutely not. Did I feel taken care of as a customer? Absolutely not. Will I come back? Absolutely not. Too stressful for me. But I'm sure she's really good at keeping up with her current clientele!

I brought both dresses to Shelia and she worked literal magic. The dress looks completely the different and it's amazing! She created a custom dress for me. Her work is great, and she is a sweetheart. You won't regret it. She really works with you to help capture the vision. She removed and added lace, changed straps, lifted the waist, hemmed and bustled the dress AND added a little mesh. I'm probably forgetting more.
