I found some $86 (who pays for that for pants?) for $20 at Duluth. I like how their clothing wears and lasts. It's good quality. Unfortunately I didn't pay attention and bought 34 length instead of 32. These ladies did a great job of correcting the length and hemming them up for me. I'll definitely use them again when I have need. read more

I went to this place to get my wedding dress altered. It's a bit small and may need a corset in the back. Upon me entering into the shop I was asked, "Are you okay?" I was a bit surprised. No "Hello", no "Hi, how are you". I responded, " I'm fine, are you okay?" The woman in the store (I'm assuming is Kathy) did not respond. I put on my wedding dress. Kathy did not try to assist me. Instead she said, " Oh no, just return this dress to wherever you got it from. David's Bridal or whatever. You're too big, this dress is for someone my size" I was astonished! This lady is very rude and nasty! I would NOT recommend this place to even a dog!! Please do yourself a favor and find anyone but this lady! What a complete waste of time and gas!!! read more

I really wanted to LOVE Kathy and I admit, the job I asked for was a complicated one but this was really botched, I wish she had just told me she couldn't do it. Some weave of a skirt had come out and the string was still attached, it just needed to be sewed back into place. I told Kathy not to cut it and she agreed. When I picked it up, not only were there knots that destroyed the look of the skirt, she had cut the string (although she said she didn't). It really was very sad. She charged me $15, which I didn't argue for but I really felt cheated. I thought the least she could do was tell me that it was not going to be possible and leave it. Not only was the job badly done, but she cut the string, leaving the damage irreversible. I don't think Kathy was out to cheat me, she really is the sweetest grandma. When I see her, I see my grandma, so I just couldn't bring myself to push back more. Perhaps she's better for straightforward alterations but I'm still shaken at how much I paid for a botched job that's left this skirt permanently damaged. read more

Kathy Alterations - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Irving, Texas

This is a nice little spot in a shopping center. Kathy has been altering clothes for 40 years. She's great at what she does and is quick

I would have expected better results based on my previous read reviews. Took in pair of jeans to be shortened and factory hemmed sewn on. Jeans ended up too short and seam was less than I would expected. Same price as Nordstrom Rack's seamstresses with very much lower quality of work. Jeans were basically ruined. read more

Went to Kathy after reading the great reviews. She is very good. Extremly detailed and honest. I took my african dress there and she did a great job. I would definitely recommend her, she is not cheap - but you get what you paid for. read more

Kathy Alterations - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Irving, Texas

Took 6 pairs of jeans to be taken down in the waist due to some weight loss I've had. Kathy wanted me to try on every pair because she let me know that each pair could fit differently so she mark on each one to know how much to alter. Went in on a Monday and they were ready Thursday! Super quick turnaround and great customer service read more

I absolutely LOVE this lady! She is professional, the best seamstress I have ever come across and to top it off, she is a wonderful and sweet person! I used to work down the street from her shop, but I switched jobs and now I don't work or live anywhere near her shop. I drive 18 miles (36 round trip) out of my way to continue taking clothes to her, she is that great. read more

I'm 4'11 & about 100 lbs so I've always had my clothing altered. Most places charge a lot & I'm always a returning customer so once I found Kathy, I knew she was my go-to from here on out! My outfit was ready the next day. She even told me she can do same day if I brought it in early enough. Definitely within anyone's price range too! read more

Way too over priced. $70 just to patch up a pair of jeans and add straps to a shirt that weren't even done right. Don't recommend. Bad first experience. read more

My experience at Kathy's Alterations was amazing!!!! She's so sweet and did such an amazing job with my bridesmaid dress. Extremely reasonable prices and would highly recommend! My new alteration spot. read more

Worked a miracle! I had a very unique situation. I have been preparing a detailed and realistic costume for Halloween 2016. I am very impressed. She very easy going and very humble. She exceeded my expectations. I would recommend her to everyone for EVERYTHING! read more

Went to Kathy's to get my wedding suit altered a little last minute and she got it done in a cheap, timely fashion AND it looked wonderful on my wedding day! read more

This is the place to go for all your alterations! Fast, friendly and she keeps the original hemming!

After reading other reviews, took my new Lee and Wrangler jeans to Kathy, I like original finishing on my length cutting and Kathy did a great job. Jeans look like custom fit for me now. The place is small and not visible at first glance but its right off MacArthur turning to the left on 6th street, its right in front of a car/tire repair shop. I am glad I have found this place after many days of search for a good alteration shop. read more

I've been going to Kathy for over five years, when she altered a bridesmaid dress to perfection. She's not the cheapest tailor in town but you get what you pay for. I'm also a terrible procrastinator and frequently show up at her shop asking for a one day turnaround, and every time she obliges. Poor Kathy! Highly recommend. read more

Made a derisive comment about a Mexican girl while I was there and then she wanted to charge me $140 to alter 7 shirts. I took it up the street to Angel & Moore and they did the same shirts for literally half the price, a little over $70. I do not recommend this place. read more

I think I found my forever seamstress. Last year I had a dress (for a wedding) that needed some alterations and she's nothing short of amazing. I will using her services fairly soon and probably as long as I live in dfw area. I recommend for dresses, bring your shoes that you plan on wearing, and also your undergarments (i.e. spanx, corsets, waist clenchers etc.). She needs to be able to get an accurate measurement for the day of the occasion. This also can be used for slacks and tops, just take sure you have everything you need to try on. Also be clear with your deadline. Don't give her a time frame give her an actual date when you need it. She will write it down. If you have multiple garments in need of alterations, I would have this done as far in advance as possible. read more

With my wedding two weeks away, I needed to alter my dress but wanted to avoid the rush fee at David's bridal. Not only was she able to let my dress out, she did it in a week's time! She also shortened my veil, which is something another seamstress said she could not do at another place. Price was very affordable. Will def continue to use her in the future! read more

Kathy is fantastic. We have been going here since we moved to Las Colinas and find her to be the best and cheapest alteration place around.

I absolutely love this little business. Kathy's work is high quality, affordable, quick, and to top it all off she's the kindest! I've been here 3 times and I always leave with clothes that fit like a glove. I highly recommend this place. read more

I purchased a nice dress online for my wedding and it was a little too big. I did research online to where I could take my dress to in Irving for alterations. I searched for who was affordable & had great ratings !! I am so very glad I chose Kathy Alterations !!! She is very friendly and honest . I will tell everyone I know that needs any alterations to go see her. She recently moved to a new location that is very quaint & quiet. Kathy went over and beyond to make sure the dress fit perfectly for the big day--even went as far after taking up slack in the dress to taper at the body :). I am more than pleased with the results !! Thank you Kathy ! read more

I selected this seamstress from Yelp because overall the reviews were very positive; it's a shame that my experience was not. I took a long evening gown to be hemmed because I didn't want to trip at my son's wedding. The skirt portion was sateen material with a chiffon overall. Although she quoted $30, I actually charged $40 which I didn't realize at check out. After getting the dress home I noticed that she had NOT pressed or steamed the deep creases that were in the dress. I didn't ask her to do that, but I just thought she would want to hand my garment back in a wearable state. It took me over an hour to iron the very-full skirt. When I put the dress on for the Sunday wedding I I realized, a bit too late, that she had not hemmed the chiffon overlay, only the sateen skirt underneath. So as my son walked me down the aisle to seat me for the wedding I had a bouquet of flowers in one hand and the darn dress in the other. Very disappointed. read more

We were visiting from out of town and needed a quick turn-around for alterations. I came here based on the reviews and was not dissatisfied. Kathy's work is impeccable and she is knowledgeable and timely. Highly recommend! read more

MS KATHY IS THE BEST! I went to her when I was in a wedding over 3 years ago when she was on 6th street. At the time, the wedding that I was in was during prom season, and Ms Kathy was so busy with prom alterations that her little cute shack was filled with customers! I remember a lady back then telling me when she left with her daughters prom alterations, that Ms Kathy is the best! A couple weeks ago I looked her up again and she moved to Pioneer and Irving Blvd. (behind the Planet Fitness), I asked her how long she's been at her new place, and she said since January! She has plenty of space for all her loyal clients now! I needed her to sew some patches on my denim jacket that I was making, and she did such an amazing job as usual, and her prices are budget-friendly people! There are alternation ladies that charge an arm and a leg but Ms Kathy is so reasonable! GO SEE HER! She does everything in a timely manner too! Thanks again Ms Kathy! read more

Awesome! If you ever need alterations, go see Kathy. She's detailed and very sweet. She's been there for about 7 years and she will look out for you and make sure you're walking out looking awesome! read more

Asked Kathy to taper the body and arms for a dress shirt. She did a great job. It fit perfectly.

I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN!!!!! We had six bridesmaids dresses and my moms wedding dress. We asked her to put straps on two dresses (the dresses came with straps to add) she decided to make her own and when they tried them on they were falling off shoulders bc they were so big and they were not adjustable. Three of the dresses we asked to be let out. She DID NOT LET THEM OUT. I told her I did not want my dress let out and she insisted to let an inch out. I was like no I am fine. She goes, "I'll let it out". I said fine do it. I put it on and NOTHING was let out . Also...... my mother wanted high low dresses we all told her the length we wanted. She kept trying to change my sister and I length on the dress. I told her no I like this length bc when you cut it it'll be a tad shorter which is what I wanted. She kept pulling it down. Finally I get her to do what I want. I come back to try it on and Mine was not cut, instead It was long again. She had to re pin and find the right length AGAIN so waste of a trip to her place. When I got the dress after it was done the high low cut was crooked. Wasn't even worth my time saying something. She'd charge us $30 more if I asked her to cut it. Then my mom gave her a pair of pants to let out. She picked them up tried them on they were smaller than before. My mom took them to another place and the lady said someone had taken them in. We each paid over $60 (some of us more) for worse dresses than when we came in. We were all so uncomfortable on wedding day bc we didn't want to keep spending money on the dresses we already had "fixed". So girls who got straps we had to safety pin together in the back so they'd stay up, we had to get creative to zip my dress. They had pull in like a corset so we could zip it up all the way. We wanted to get out of those dresses ASAP. We have to wear them twice..... great. So for all those errors we still had to pay if we wanted her to fix it she said she'd charge. I do not recommend this place. Crazy how so many people have five stars on her. We must have gotten unlucky. read more

I am so glad I found Kathy's shop. The Velcro on my tonneau cover on my pickup came loose from the vinyl. She was able to sew it back on and did an excellent job! read more

Took about 7 different items to get tailored on a Monday. She told me 3 of the items would be ready within that week and the rest by the next week. The next week came and I had still not heard back from her. I finally called to check the status of my items a week later and she informed me that she has just barely started working on the items she was supposed to have finished the week before. At this point I told her to go ahead and finish what she had started but to leave the other items and that I would take those items somewhere else. This place is fairly expensive and for the prices she charges she should be able to complete the tailoring when she says she will be able to. Will never come back and would not recommend this place at all! She charged $35 to tailor a vest, $25 for a shirt, and $20 for a pair of slacks! read more

I tried Kathy's Alterations based on the reviews on Yelp and I wasn't disappointed! I dropped off 2 pairs of dress pants, one of them being brand new, white, lined pants and a pair of shorts and a top on a Friday, and she had them ready for me on Saturday! She did a beautiful job on all pieces and was very careful when working with my white pants. Her shop is small but efficient and she is very talented. Her pricing is also very reasonable--not like some of the bigger Cleaners around town. I will definately use her again! read more

She was great. Very talented. The bridesmaids dress that was ordered for me was too small so she took fabric from my daughter's dress and fixed it. You could not tell at all that it was added. She was quick and reasonable on pricing. read more

I had a bolero made for me by a Nigerian tailor, which I will not name. I showed her the style that I wanted and she even drew it out. The drawing she did matched the photo and I felt comfortable enough for her to sew it for me. I bought the material and gave it to her to sew. She said it would be ready next week. I felt that would give her ample time to complete it. Next week comes around and I pick up the bolero only to find that it looked nothing like the picture. This Nigerian so called tailor made this the day of and just rushed the process of sewing. It looked so horrible. There was no way I was going to wear that bolero...with my WEDDING DRESS!!! I was panicking because I was leaving for Houston in 2 days. I called tailors all over Irving and none of them could fix the bolero until I came across Kathy. I took my botched bolero to Kathy and she said she could do it. She was even surprised at the work the Nigerian tailor did. She said "it looks like something you put on a toy". I couldn't agree with her more. Kathy took the bolero apart and created a masterpiece. She came to the rescue and made a beautiful bolero. She didn't even have to take my measurements or draw the picture. The Nigerian tailor is NOT an experience tailor at all. There were so many things that she did wrong it's unreal. Kathy IS an experienced tailor who knows her craft and takes pride in it. Thank you Kathy for your kindness and help! I will never forget what you did for me :) read more
