I got a pair of jeans a couple of years ago and then proceeded to lose 80ish pounds up until now. I went back to target hoping to find the same pair of jeans because they're super cute, but unfortunately seasons passed and they aren't sold anymore. I took my massive jeans to Kim's alterations as a last ditch "maybe they can fix these" before I gave up and donated them. When I tell you these jeans fit like a glove. Kim's alterations perfectly fit them for me. I can't even tell the jeans were altered. They fit me better than they did when I first purchased them. I also took a swimsuit to get altered and it also fits beautifully now. I'm a very happy camper at the moment. I will be coming here for every alteration / clothing repair for as long as I live in the area. Can't recommend them enough. read more

Great service and quality workmanship! Speedy turnaround time and fair prices. Will definitely return

After trying several other alteration businesses, I have been extremely happy with the service and quality at Kim's. The owner is very helpful and friendly, always ensuring we are happy with the product. Their turnaround timelines are very reasonable, and he always provides upfront pricing. We have used them for formal gowns as well as simple alteration needs. I highly recommend Kim's Alterations. read more

I was skeptical of dropping off my wedding dress because alteration places can be a hit or miss . This place was recommended by a friend so I decided to give a shot . I was happy with the end result ! I also need an Indian blouse to be let in for my saree . I wasn't sure if that could be done but they did a good job with it too ! The price was decent and I got both outfits altered for about $100 which I felt was reasonable. read more

10/5 stars. I was walking to the door from the parking lot and the man behind the counter ran over to the door when he saw me far away and opened the door for us. He went out of his way and was so nice and friendly. He made a sweet joke about my baby needing alterations and then pulled out a chair for him while I got my pants tailored. I had the waist taken in on a pair of jeans and it was about $25, altered perfectly, and ready within the week. It was such a nice exchange and great, easy experience. I'll definitely be coming back here. read more

Kim's Alterations - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Carmel, Indiana

Rude and unprofessional! The pricing is ridiculously high for no reason. Each time I drop off my items and pay, I always receive a call later stating that they made a mistake and will need to charge additional $ for my items. The man at the front desk is rude and I will NOT coming back to this establishment. read more

I brought my military uniform to get sewn on. The craftsmanship and support they have is amazing. Will be bringing all my business here from now on read more

My daughter took her prom dress there to have a hem done, very basic straight hem, one layer black stretch fabric and a hook and eye put in at top of zipper. Paid $45 (prepay, not after work is done) and picked up dress and no hook and eye on dress. They took nearly three weeks to do half of what we paid for. I do not have time to take off work to go back in prior to prom to have work done correctly. Additionally the male worker took my ticket and receipt when I picked up the dress and did not give it back to me but kept it in his hand and walked away from me after he handed me the dress. So I have zero proof of what we paid for. read more

Kim's is the only alterations place I recommend and fully trust! She can do wonders with whatever I ask for including hemming or completely restructuring the top of a dress. Her team works so hard and they get clothing items in and out in a time crunch. The prices are fair, sometimes pricier depending what you ask for but if you're looking for a reliable seamstress - head to Kim's! read more

We have used Kim's for many years. The work that has been done for me has always been exceptional. We recently moved to Westfield from Carmel and Kim's found a new location from N Rangeline to 116 th St and Main also located in Carmel. I've tried a few places closer to where we live now and services have just been ok. This time when I needed some work done I decided to make the little extra drive from 161st and Towne in Westfield to their new location and I'm sure glad I did! The work did not disappoint! Thanks everyone at Kim's MJanicki read more

Super easy to work with. Convenient and quick. Loved that they had a setup with changing rooms and mirrors to help mark out what needed to be changed. Thought the price wasn't too high. read more

I am giving them a 1-star because the first and only time I went there, I brought two items: a purse with a bad zipper and a coat with a tear alongside the right pocket. They charged me $25 to "fix" the zipper on the spot and told me to "open it gently". It does not work at all, so that was $25 wasted. The coat was fixed and picked up in a couple of weeks for $40. Within one month it tore in the exact same place and when I called asking them to repair it again they were going to charge me again. Very bad customer service I told him, and he hung up on me. read more

Great work on hemming two pairs of jeans and a new zipper on shorts! I will use Kim's Alterations again!

Amazing! My wedding by day was perfect and my dress fit beautifully. Kim was so professional and helpful she gave great suggestions helped me pick how my dress would be bustled and showed my maid of honor how to assemble the bustle. My dress had a super long train and it was hard to find a shop that could alter it. I had the dress taken in, the straps shortened, that bust taken in, and all 6 layers of the dress hemmed. It was a very easy process and she was great about getting me the dress with plenty of time before my wedding day. I found her through online reviews and now I'm leaving one to tell you that if you're not sure where to take your wedding gown, this is the place! read more

See all

I asked for a quote to see how much my bridesmaid dress would be -shoulders brought in -waist slightly brought in -possibly hemmed an inch This would be $190!!! So I found somewhere else (much cheaper) and asked for my dress back and a refund, since the sign they have says to pay up front. She said no problem but I still owed her then $25 just for the fitting?? It took less than 5 minutes for that and there was no sign saying this and she only mentioned this fee to me me after I asked for a refund. 0/10 will never be going back read more

I picked up a dress today that I will be wearing to my Granddaughter's wedding. I am not happy. The dress is a dark lavendar. The thread on the hem doesn't even match! It is GRAY. There are some lose threads that I will have to cut, and the stitching is not even. I was pleased in the past, but now will not be going back. read more

Outstanding service. I came in with four different articles of clothing that needed sewed. They completed everything quickly and the pricing couldn't be beat. The staff is extremely friendly and my clothes look brand new. I have used several different local businesses in the past and Kim's is by far the best. read more

Not very happy. I have been going to them for 15 years; this was the first time at the new location, to take in my daughter's formal dress. For taking it in and hemming it, I paid $105. When she put it on the waist was too tight and she couldn't breathe. I asked if we could let it out (and I would have paid for that). The man kept saying that he didn't touch the waist and that it was good, not to let it out. I said that she's the one wearing the dress! And it's not true that they didn't touch the waist -- by taking in the sides TO the waist, the waist was tighter. He didn't offer to help fix the problem at all, even if I paid him for a second job. He just kept saying it was good. We left and drove 3 minutes away to Lucy's, who said she would absolutely let it out 1/2 inch on each side for $35 as soon as I'd like. They've got my business from now on. read more

I went to Kim's to alter my prom dress that was way too big in the arms and bust. She helped us right away making sure I was comfortable with each adjustment. Even when I made suggestions she was quick to meet my requests with no problem. Paying was straightforward and easy. The dress was done when they said it would be and even made sure it fit properly after it was done. read more

Kim's Alterations - My dress after it was finished. - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Carmel, Indiana

Been going here for years. Always friendly, does a good job and in a timely fashion :-)

Kim is the best! My husband lost a significant amount of weight over the course of 2 years (YAY for him!!) and had to periodically have suites and pants altered along the way. Kim always did a fantastic job and would let him know if it was time to replace rather than alter. I have also had her hem pants, adjust straps, add snaps/buttons and you can never even tell alterations had been done. Yes, she's that good. There are many alteration places closer to where we live, but none of them compare to Kim's. read more

I had a pile of jeans that needed to be taken in at the waist. They were quick, reasonably priced, friendly, and every pair fits perfectly now! read more

My favorite alterations place EVER! The staff is so nice and gives you EXACTLY what you ask for. This is by far the most trustworthy alterations spot in Indy! read more

Nice place to get your garments altered. I stopped by to get a vest made and Kim (?) helped get me measured. Picked up the vest today and fits just like it should. No issues and service with a smile. Location is easy to miss if going north on Rangeline. read more

I've been to a lot of places for alterations over the years. They are incredible and by far the best. I'll be coming back for years to come.

Guess where I found out about Kim Alterations? Yelp, of course. ha I was in dire need of getting my bridesmaid dress altered and I needed to find a place to help me ... fast. My dress was too big, my dress was too long - the wedding is in Seattle. I needed things to be perfect. I stopped by this place after work one day and as soon as I walked in they pointed me to the dressing room to try on my dress. I then walked out and a woman measured me and quickly, very quickly, figured out what needed to be done. I'm telling you, the process was SO QUICK. She was like, "Ok, I'll see you on such and such date." And I left. Mind you, I was a little hesitant about how the outcome would be because she looked over my dress so fast - surely she was going to make some error? I picked up my dress a couple of days ago and it's perfect. Everything fits. It looks great. Very pleased! It was pretty affordable for what I had done. Now I can fly out to Seattle with my dress and not worry about it falling off of me on the dance floor. read more

Fast, efficient and always courteous. I've been coming here for years whenever I need something good and now...cuffs, no cuffs, take in, let out, remove the brass buttons, replace the brass...no, I don't think so... I have found that if I keep my stuff for a long enough time, it ultimately comes back into fashion. read more

While all of the associates at Kim's were helpful and friendly, I was disappointed with the fitting process and ultimately, the end result. During the initial fitting, my garments were pinned quickly, without careful precision. They eye-balled each piece, without taking measurements or notes. When I picked up my items a week later, the rushed fitting showed in the finished pieces. While my blazer was taken-in well, my two skirts and jumpsuit were not as good. Both skirts were altered incorrectly (were sewn into a trumpet shape instead of a column) and the ankles of my jumpsuit were shorter than we'd discussed and cut to flare out (again, in a trumpet shape). I spent $72 for all 4 pieces to be altered. The ladies were nice, but I was bummed with the finished product. I'm sure if I took my items back, they would fix them, but I'm not confident they would be able to do it correctly. read more

I've been using this alterations place for a few years. Just recently took them some dressier items (i.e., delicate fabrics) and all three piece came out perfectly. Just dropped off another two dresses. I am always happy with their work AND they are very nice people! read more

I needed a formal dress hemmed in less than 24 hours and they were more than willing to accommodate. They were so quick and helpful and the dress is perfect now. So happy! Would highly recommend and will for sure be going back there for all of my alteration needs. read more

Kim's Alterations does amazing work. They altered my wedding dress and did a beautiful job. I also just had a situation come up where I needed an alteration asap. They fit me in and did a perfect job. They also were helpful in ensuring it fit and looked right afterwards. Super thankful for the staff there and all their help and will certainly bring any other alterations their way. read more

My first Yelp review! I found Kim's Alterations on Yelp, and after seeing an IRL friend's positive review, I thought I'd go ahead and check her out. I needed a pair of pants hemmed and a bridesmaid dress altered in all kinds of ways: strap shortened, bust re-shaped, waist let out. I went to pick the items up today and was just going to head out, but she prompted me to try the dress on first. I'm glad she did, because the bust had been let out just a bit too much. She pinned me back up and said it'd be done in two days. The best part, no extra charge! I'm sure that's standard practice that if they let something out too much or take it in too much there's no additional charge, but it just made me very happy as I was prepared to pay extra. I found her fairly affordable. If you're on the north side of town, I'd suggest going to Kim's to get your clothing altered! read more

I took a dress to Kim's that was custom made for me in India for a wedding. When the dress arrived it was about 4 inches too long. The wedding was only a few days away and I needed it hemmed! I took my dress to Kim's and they did a GREAT job! They were able to hem the very difficult fabric in one day and it looked flawless! It surely wasn't cheap, but worth the price and the time it took! Would highly recommend! read more

I have used Kim's for about 10 years. I always have to have jeans hemmed and Kim's is the only place who can do it and make them look as the manufacturer intended. I've tried other places and had to bring them to Kim to be hemmed correctly! It costs $8.00 to have pants hemmed and it's well worth it. Her prices are a little lofty on formal dress alterations but she does a great job. She has even fixed couch pillows for my ex-husband, whose dog used to chew them open! I know I'm not the only person who thinks she's great because there is usually a line for people needing her help. Thanks for sharing your talent, Kim. :) read more

Always get it right. On time. And for less than what I would pay anywhere else. They can handle all the suit and dress pants tapering as well as dress shirts and jeans. Saves so much money to tailor compared to buying totally new items. read more

Have used them for years. Always courteous, and on occasion I have needed something very quickly and they go out of their way to help us. Great work, big or small. read more

About four months before my wedding I had taken my wedding dress to a friend of a friend. BIG mistake. A MONTH before my wedding nothing had been done, threading had been taken out, and there was a new stain on it. I was, needlessly to say, in a panic. Took my dress to Kim's Alterations and they set to work on looking it over and basically telling me that "it was messed up." However, the good news was that it could be fixed. I left it there and they said to come pick it up in three weeks. Picked it up today, and it is PERFECT. Everything is fixed, it was spot cleaned (they sent it out), pressed, and hanging up. Tried it on real quick, and it fit PERFECTLY. My wedding is in a little over a week, and I am so excited to be wearing this dress!!! I'm sure you're wondering the price. It was 150 to alter the dress (like I said, it was in a bad way) and 45 more to spot clean and press it. All I can say is that it was worth EVERY nickel. I would recommend Kim's Alterations to ANYONE. They freaking ROCK!!!! read more

Wonderful place! Esther was so kind in helping me fix my graduation gown. Prompt service also - picked it up in 1 week! Thank you so much - I'll definitely be back!! read more

Kim is great - she's been doing my clothes for years...super affordable and excellent work...I live in Chicago now and still come to her for my alterations when I'm visiting my parents in Indy. read more

Buyers beware! I had an appointment so I sent my daughter and her friend to Kim's to have her PROM, not wedding, PROM dress shortened. I figured this would be easy and she could handle it. After all she is just having the length shortened. She comes home and said "mom, they did charge me before they would shorten it." I said, "ok how much do I own you?" She the precedes to make me have a heart attack by telling me ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS!! I then thought maybe she read the receipt wrong. NOPE!! Why would she do this? Charge me 1/3 of what the cost of the dress was. I grabbed the car keys and the girls and drove over. Kim preceded to tell me it had to do with triple layers and the width. I called 3 other stores and they all said the most they have charged for shortening a PROM dress is $50. So, I took the dress and ran as fast as I can. I understand if you are refitting a wedding dress or taking in or letting something out but it is being SHORTENED by a few inches! What a scam. I think she saw two teens come in and went for it. She did refund my money and was not, nor was I, argumentative. i just don't have that kind of money to spend on shortening a PROM dress!! read more
