I have used Jackie's alterations, this particular location on Saint Andrews Road to be exact, for…read moreseveral years now. I am not a wealthy man, but do enjoy fine quality fabrics, so, what is one to do if unable to facilitate the ownership of said goods at a price that one can afford more reasonably?? The answer is as simple as seeking out a professional Taylor, and practice that has fallen to the wayside in our post consumer Internet marketing society. I am, for my part in this review, neither young nor old, but consider myself more practical than my age should afford me. The preceding was just Acacian for following statement: I have never looked so good in my appearance than after The alterations that Jackie's provided for me. Let's take it a step further however, let me appeal to that Avenue that I hold dearly and consider that you, the reader, may as well, and that is simple economics. Consider the following example, based off of actual numbers, for reference. They have this review, 19th February, I arrived to Jackie's to retrieve a pair of Hilti Denim slacks that I had height adjusted (And just for reference, the alteration to the legs or a custom height was $10, replacing those pants with a proper length, would've been $250, which is also substantially higher than I paid for them to begin with). I have a pair of Lauren gray-wool micro-plaid slacks my mother bought as a present for me some few year back. They were nearly full price, and for that line and being at Belks, it was closer to 200 for them. She insisted, so now I have pants that hang in my closet due to passive body realignment (I think I just made that up, but use it if you want. It basically means weight-loss through dynamic lifestyle assessment and restructuring) As I am unwilling to throw a side such an expensive gift from I had someone to whom I care so much about. I considered, only yesterday as I'm cleaning through my closet's for what I still wear and don't, That I really like these pants but cannot wear them as they are. So, while retrieving one pair of pants, I inquired on the other pair as well. I knew for good and well that a professional tailor would be able to do anything that has excessive material that was needed, so I preemptively carried shoes, with a heel profile that most closely matches what I would normally wear with the pants, along to the alteration shop. Not only was I happy about the suturing of the waist, but the buttocks is also being tightened to extend the appearance of my legs (which already appear short, due to the cut in the inner thigh of most pants) and the length of the legs were also shortened to discourage baggage around the ankles. These pants are now going to be cut and laid to my exact dimensions, will look perfect on me, and all for $26 bucks. Whatever price you would pay for alterations you would need would not be more expensive then to replace the clothing in the first place I assure you so consider taking that before making the decision to refuse and replace, but instead, give that wardrobe a new lease on life while helping out your community and saving more than a few bucks while having an outfit that you can honestly say is made for you.

I am writing to express my profound disappointment regarding my final experience at Jackie's today…read more For 20 years, I have been a loyal customer, bringing items in for tailoring and referring countless friends to your business. I dropped off three items for tailoring one week ago and paid for the services in advance. I was instructed to return today to pick them up. Upon arrival, the associate presented my items and informed me that I owed an additional $35 because she had forgotten to include one of the necessary services for a dress on my original ticket. She then stated that I would not be allowed to take my clothes until this additional charge was paid. The $35 charge increased the total cost for this single, casual dress to $85. Given that this was the staff's error, I believe the business should have absorbed this cost, especially since I had already paid $50 for the tailoring--a price point that already made me question if the inexpensive dress was worth the investment. Furthermore, my phone number was clearly on the ticket, yet no one contacted me to approve the price increase or ask if I wished to proceed with the work at the new rate. As a result of this experience, which was caused by the new management's oversight and poor customer service, this was my last visit to Jackie's.

Perfect Alterations - This is the dress that she sewed crooked. As you can see, the straps are perfectly lined up, but the material is off by about 1/2 inch.

I was so pleased that I referred her to friends and family and searched my closet for more clothes that I hadn't worn because they needed alterations so she could fix them. My previous enjoyable experience with Perfect Alterations all changed after I brought a V cut dress to her. She added fabric to the center of it so that it was not revealing. When I picked it up, at first glance it looked fine, (she didn't ask me to try it on) but when I put it on for my engagement portrait session the next day, it was obviously crooked. It was so obvious that I asked the photographer to not photograph me straight on and ended up changing into other outfits for the rest of the session. I moved 2 hours away shortly after that. Several months later when I was back in town I took the dress to her so she could fix it. I also brought another pair of pants for her to hem. She was defensive toward me and refused to admit that she sewed it crooked. She blamed me for waiting too long, (it shouldn't matter,) washing the dress, (which I didn't do,) my body being crooked, (it's not,) my straps needing to be adjusted, (they were perfectly symmetrical) I was too picky, (I'm not)...whatever she could come up with to divert the blame from herself. Everyone that I have shown the dress to sees that it is obviously sewn crooked. I posted a pic. I was not mad. I just wanted her to make the material straight so I could wear it. She refused to admit it's crooked, or fix it, and would not hem my pants, either. She claimed my pants were too stretchy and that they could not be hemmed. The pants are 60% poly, 35% rayon, and only 5% spandex. If I'm not mistaken, this is a normal material blend and should be able to be hemmed. Since she can't sew straight, won't fix her mistakes, & can't hem dress pants, I don't recommend her at all.
