Kim did an excellent job on the bridesmaid dress I had. The bridal store ordered a size 12 for me (I understand they run small-- but geesh I am only 135lbs).. and there was a lot of alterations to be made. First, the dress was extremely unique especially at the top! Kim altered the breast area, off the shoulder strap (which was ornate), both sides of the dress to contour and fit my curves, my midsection, and the length. Although I am donating the dress for another woman to enjoy it for a special occasion, I will say that after Kim altered it I felt more confident and even sexy; whereas I once felt like a huge heifer in a potato sack! I will be brining my suit jackets and skirts to Kim as well for future alterations. She is FAST, QUICK, and AFFORDABLE!! read more

I went here with an easy job for someone who can see (not me!). My husband needed two new sweatpants hemmed. I came here as the place I had been using didn't do a good job last time and charged more for a simple gem. They were friendly and had the pants ready in just a few days. I will return the next time I need sewing done. read more

Kim is my go to for all alterations! She is extremely detailed and fast. I've had over a dozen garments altered by her and never had an issue. read more

I can't rate Kim's alterations highly enough! I came to her less than a week out from a wedding I was standing up in with a dress that had already had alterations done from someone else. There was no way that the dress would have worked for the wedding but they were able to make the corrections (with time to spare) and the dress fit perfectly. I should have came to Kim's originally. 5/5 stars - very quick service, good work, decent prices. read more

Kim's Alterations is simply the best! Kim has worked on several pieces for me now, and every single time she amazes me with how perfect everything turns out. She's so talented and pays attention to every little detail, and I always walk away loving the results. On top of that, she's so kind and welcoming. I honestly wouldn't trust anyone else with my clothes. read more

I needed to get my wedding dress altered a bit and a bustle put on the back of my dress so I searched for an alteration place and Kim's was one of the top results. So I decided to bring my dress here and I couldn't be happier! She did an AMAZING job and my wedding dress fits perfectly!! Kim is the owner and the only one who works here. She is an absolute sweetheart! Her work is incredible! My maid of honor and step daughter who is one of my bridesmaids bought their dresses here to be altered and they look perfect!! I swear every time I went in here it was always busy so that shows she does amazing work!! If you need any garment altered do not hesitate to bring it here, you will not be disappointed. My brother is also getting married this year so if my dress for his wedding needs to be altered I will definitely bring it here. I will be recommending Kim's to friends and family !! read more

Kim's Alterations - Inside - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Shelby, Michigan

Thank god for Kim! I had a difficult time finding a dress for a formal event that I was attending. I found what looked like the perfect dress and ordered it online. I am a size 4-6 which usually means a small. However, Nordstrom didn't provide a size chart and when my dress came, there was no way it was going to zip past my bra strap area. I frantically ordered a second dress in a medium. I held my breath and it thankfully zipped up. But the dress was a good two inches too long, even with three inch heels on! The clock was ticking. I called around to multiple tailors and seamstresses. None could possibly have this dress hemmed for me as quickly as I needed. Now, I'm clumsy. I trip over air. Add a few drinks and it can be interesting. Now add a dress that is two inches too long (or try walking in super high heels) and we are talking disastrous! But Kim came through for me. She got me in immediately and had it ready for me the morning I needed it! It was the perfect length and I didn't fall down! Hah. Yay! I will be using her for all of my needs from now on. I am the exact average height of a US Female (5'4") yet everything is always too long on me! So I was in need of someone who could hem a lot of pants! I'm grateful to have found her! read more

Kim's Alterations - Altered by Kim. - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Shelby, Michigan

Kim is truly the best! Not only is she a great person, I have full confidence in her and her ability to know exactly what is needed when I bring garments for her to alter. I've brought multiple bridesmaid dresses for full alterations, she re-worked a prom dress of my sisters, which needed straps created in addition to a regular hem and my mom has also had a formal dress hemmed. One bridesmaid dress I brought cross-country for alterations because I wouldn't trust anyone else with such a special occasion dress. Every piece is perfectly tailored and I always feel confident in her work. Quick turnaround, excellent price, unbeatable quality. I recommend her to anyone in the area looking for alterations. read more

Been using Kims for the past 4 years for all my alterations. She is always professional and does amazing work for the price! As always thank you Kim for the great service! read more

Let me give my background story, I'm incredibly short. I'm 4'11 with a short torso, short shoulders with decent hips AND I was getting married. I found a wonderful dress for my wedding, but my original idea of a tailor fell through and I'm kinda of researching (well more like scrambling), for a seamstress who can alter my wedding dress. I found great reviews for Kim's Alterations and I was scraping for time at this point. I was a bit nervous because I've personally haven't gotten anything altered, let alone a wedding dress and it was a month before the wedding - really pushing it on time. Honestly, I don't regret my choice and so happy I found Kim's! She was reasonably priced, surprisingly quick, and flexible. She was friendly and her work really shows her years of expertise! My dress too was no walk in the park. It has embroidered lace appliques, lots of layers, and a LONG train (Mori Lee Blu 5370) . Due to my short height, she warned me she'll have to cut a lot of material out and she'll try her best to save the appliques designs. I trusted her and she proved her word. My dress was perfect as if it was made for me. It was flattering and she saved the embroidered lace appliques, to the point it doesn't even look altered, just a shrunk up version of the original (in a good way, of course). Long story short: 1 month before the wedding and 3 alterations sessions later (with shoulders shortened, dressed hem, bustled, cups added, and a belt added) it was perfect! She did so wonderful that I left a great tip! It was so worth it! She did such a fantastic job that I even recommended her to my maid of honor and my mother, who like me, are short. She still proved to a fabulous seamstress! I definitely recommend her and I hope my review was helpful for those who are struggling to find alterations and crunching on time. I will be only going to Kim's for my alterations for now on read more

I brought my dress in a week and two days before the wedding (oops) but was able to pick it up exactly a week later! She hemmed the bottom of the dress and replaced the cups with something smoother and better supporting. I should've asked her to take in the bottom in a little bit more since I ended up tripping on it a little at times but that was my mistake. When asked about ironing the cups since they were squished during shipping, she offered to switch them out but wasn't pushy about selling me an extra service! She was very sweet, overall great service and end result. Will be returning for any other alterations I need done! :) read more

I'm so glad I found Kim on yelp! I needed a dress altered for a wedding that was less than a week away and she had it done in 4 days. I had the dress hemmed, straps shortened and the bust taken in. My boyfriend also had 2 dress pants hemmed during that time frame. She was so nice and the process was quick. Everything was reasonably priced and way more affordable than the last place I've gone to. I'll be coming back to her with all my altering needs, I suggest you do too! read more

Would highly recommend this place to everyone! Much better experience than previous alteration shops I have been to. Kim is super friendly and fixed my button up shirts to the exact measurements I needed. read more

Kim has always been so efficient and kind as well as knowledgeable. We appreciate all of her help, from hemming a simple pair of pants to doing the alterations on complex beaded dresses. Highly recommend! read more

I previously dropped off 8 curtain panel at 9' long to hem and steam & was charged $90 ($10 each). I then had 2 more curtain panels to hem and steam which she now charged me $15 for each and when I got home I realized they weren't steamed like I asked. I thought maybe she slightly increased the price due to Covid so I didn't argue when she told me it's $15 for each but I had to call to ask why they weren't steamed. She told me she never charged only $10 a panel (LIES) and would never include steaming in that price (ANOTHER LIE) so if I want them steamed it'll be another $10 per panel!!!! Absolutely will not be returning to someone who is this shady. I fully respect business costs but do not ever lie to a customer who remembers and has proof. I would have been understanding if she apologized and offered to steam them but the fact she tried to again charge even more was completely dishonorable. read more

There is no one else I trust with my bridesmaid dresses! I've gone to Kim for all four weddings I've stood up in, and I will continue to go to her for the next ones as well! She does great quality for reasonable pricing! read more

Kim is so sweet, I enjoyed her and her beautiful store. She was able to see me quickly and my bridesmaids dress will be ready in 2 weeks to be picked up. I will share a photo once it's picked up. I was also so pleased with the cost of the alterations not being as much as the dress itself already was. read more

Very professional and friendly. Did an awesome job altering a formal gown, in record time and reasonable price. I highly recommend Kim's to all of my friends. read more

My daughter wasn't in love with the dress she was wearing to homecoming, so she ordered a new one online at the last minute. When it arrived it was too long, but otherwise very nice looking. I sent a Yelp message to Kim midway through the week to see if she would have time to alter it by Saturday, and she wrote right back encouraging us to bring the dress in. She even gave us an estimate. When we went into the shop she quickly pinned the dress and offered to steam it and remove the dog hair, which I wouldn't have thought of until after we took the dress home. She is very professional, friendly, and helpful. I would recommend her to anyone, and will go back. read more

Kim is the best around! I had a bridesmaid dress that was at least 2 if not 3 sizes too big. It was literally falling off of me before I took it in to Kim. She just about rebuilt the whole dress. She took it in, shortened it and added padding to the chest. She did an amazing job! Every time I went in for a fitting she had it ready when she said it would be. I used to go to a local dry cleaner to have dresses hemmed but I knew this dress needed so much more and Kim came through with flying colors. All in all Kim is amazing! read more

I had a bridesmaid dress altered here and was more than happy with the final result. I had the straps adjusted, the waist taken in, and the bottom hemmed. It was done perfectly and promptly. I needed the dress done within the week and the timing was no issue. When I tried it on after all the alterations, I wanted another part of the dress adjusted and it was fixed less than 24 hours later and with no additional charge. (The last adjustment was completely unrelated to the work that was done on the dress. I decided I wanted something else changed last minute). I 100% recommended Kim's Alterations. read more

I was referred here by a friend of my husbands. Very Cute business! The inside is decorated so nice and Kim was so accommodating and helpful when I needed a last minute alteration the week of my wedding! She said she would stay there for me when made it just before closing. She sewed on my belt/sash and steamed my dress and had it ready 3 days later for me. Very nice owner and I will be back/make recommendations in the future! Thank you Kim. My dress looked beautiful and helped make our wedding day PERFECT read more

I've had two bridesmaids dresses altered so far... a lace sheath dress I needed altered to fit my curves and a blue silk dress that of course the bridal shop ordered two sizes too big.

I went to Kim's based on her ratings online for very last minute alterations to my wedding dress. I needed a bustle added and a ribbon sewn on around the waist.

She did a wonderful job and completed everything very quickly. I definitely recommend Kim's Alterations and will be back with anything else needing to be altered. :) read more

So disappointed with Kim's Alterations right now. I bought her a ton of alterations this summer for some fall clothes that I wanted to have taken in. & I spent a handsome amount of money there I might add. I Told her that they wasn't take in as much as I like. Here lies the problem so I did not bring them in right away I waited till the fall thinking with the amount of business that I gave her surly I wouldn't have a problem with her taken in one pair of the pants she worked on. Man was I wrong she wanted to charge me an additional $35. Needless to say I will not be returning. Not the way to honor your customers. read more
