Amazing tailor. Patient, thorough. High quality work at a reasonable price. Makes adjustments simple and straightforward.

I had a Duluth fleece jacket that had a broken zipper. The pull tab broke so I could no longer wear it. I walked in and she greeted me with a smile so I asked her if she could replace the zipper for me and while i stood there she pulled out a little box with many pull tabs and she proceeded to replace the pull tab and the zipper stop on the other side. It took her all of 5 minutes to fix my jacket with a pair of pliers and BEST OF ALL, I asked her how much I owed her for the repair and she graciously smiled at me and replied to me, "NO CHARGE"! WHO DOES THAT ANYMORE?! THAT is what GREAT Customer Service is ALL ABOUT!! She has gained a returning customer if we ever need to have another article of clothing tailored or repaired! She told me that replacing the entire zipper would have cost me $35.00 so in this crazy horrible economy, I appreciated her saving me the $35.00! That's a half-tank of gas nowadays! Happy Happy Happy Customer!! read more

Excellent service and work, fast alterations, overall wonderful experience. I had a formal dress that needed a hem for a wedding and everything turned out perfectly. read more

I'm writing this because I was SHOCKED to see negative reviews of Krystyna's Tailor Shop. They are undeserved, in my opinion, based on a lot of experience. I have been depending on Krystyna's over a year. I lost 130 pounds over the last 2-3 years, went from 318 to 185, so I needed a new wardrobe, but I had many pieces of clothing that I wanted to tailor to fit the new slimmer me. Expensive or unique things that I didn't want to RE-buy in a smaller size, or couldn't have found again. Like, Zegna sport jackets and suits, cashmere sweaters, leather jackets, in addition to shirts and pants... and a new Armani suit. Some items, like a $1,000 leather jacket, I wasn't even sure could be tailored. But, Krystyna's can do anything she says she can do... and the work is flawless. Flawless. She is amazing. And I have a lot of experience having lived in LA for 35 years before moving to Cary. My wife had her wedding dress tailored here as well. It was a very expensive dress and I wouldn't have trusted anyone else. I tried others before finding Krystyna's and there is no comparison. None. This place stands above the rest. I saw that some people thought it expensive and that may be true for those people, but I think that the quality of the work more than justifies the cost. If you need a pair of pants hemmed, anyone can do it... but when it comes to more involved tailoring needs... and when you can't stand anything but high quality work... I wouldn't go anywhere else. read more

Krystina is AMAZING!! She is always so timely and takes care of the most intricate details. She helped me out of a bridesmaids nightmare a couple of years ago and literally saved the day! I knew when it was my turn to get married, there was only one place to take my wedding dress. She was again, FABULOUS!! I cannot recommend her more! read more

I brought my wedding dress here hoping to get it altered it just needed a hymn and a bustle. What I got was my wedding dress ruined and I had to take it to another shop to try to repair it this woman does not care about anything but money in her pocket. I very much hope that she has the life she deserves. If I could leave negative stars I would. read more

Krystanya was kind and competent! She was patient and attentive in listening to what I was hoping for with regard to the requested changes to my clothing! She created accurate expectations regarding the price of the service, which was a price I had anticipated paying and one I thought was fair for the work I was asking for. I highly recommend her shop and will be coming back for any alterations I need in the future!! read more

She is amazing. It's rare to meet someone who truly loves what they do. She is also very good at it. My fiancé was a mess after dress problems, we went to Krystyna who did an amazing job and literally saved the wedding. She cares and that comes across in her work. Worth every penny. If you are leaving a one star review, you are the problem lol. read more

*Beautiful, expert alterations of everything from jeans to evening gowns. *Prompt and reliable. *Unparalleled attention to detail.

I've been to Krystyna's twice now, and both times have been for different reasons, with the same awesome result. The first time, I was super pregnant, and had to go to a black tie wedding. I had ordered an affordable maternity dress online but when it came in, it didn't fit my bump well, and I looked like a gold sack of potatoes. I was worried I wouldn't be able to get it altered in a way that would work, but Krystyna worked her magic and got the dress to accent my bump in a way that still kept the dress comfortable but gave me a shape. She was also able to tailor the length to fit my petite frame as well. This last time, I had another dress that was too long, and with a quick observation, was able to put it at the perfect length. I also had a pair of pants that I bought when I was pregnant but now that I finally lost the baby weight, I wanted to take in the waist without compromising the rest of the pants. For Krystyna, easy peasy! Both turned out great. She's a little pricier than other places, but it's a price I'm willing to pay for perfection. Cash Only. read more

So I had a wedding dress mishap at the bridal store I purchased my dress at, so long story short, they delivered my dress a week before I flew out of the country for my wedding. I didn't know if anyone would take my dress in such a last minute notice with hardly anytime to do the alterations. I called , and they told me to bring the dress in right away. They were fast and efficient and had my dress done in four business days including the weekend! Amazing! Not to mention, my dress had a ton of detailing up at the top, but it all looked so perfect in the end. I would have given them five stars, but this place only takes cash and I wish the floors were cleaned more often because my dress had all this hair and loose strings attached to the bottom tool piece of my dress. read more

Two days before my daughter's wedding and the dress is just not right. Called and came to Krystyna for help and she was amazing. Her team fixed the dress and the day was saved. Her bubbly smile and her helpfulness was beyond my expectation. She constantly reassured my daughter that her dress was gorgeous and everything would be OK.. Amazing! read more

I have gone to Krystyna for years to alter my clothes. So, I was very comfortable taking my wedding dress to her! She was very expensive, but she did a great job! I had many compliments on my dress on my wedding day and I did not have to worry about it staying up at all - it fit perfectly! read more

Krystyna's Tailor Shop - Krystyna altered my wedding dress, and she did a great job! - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Cary, North Carolina

the best tailor shop in cary. been going to krystyna for over 20 years. love her shop.

This is one of the best shops around. Always pleased with the work done on my garments. Quick turnaround.

Amazing energy and work! Four pairs of pants hemmed in an hour! I can't even count the number of people I saw come through her door while I waited. And the work: accurate and precise. read more

I had her look at my wedding dress, which is probably more complicated then their typical customer. I didn't like the space - it seemed small and was packed. I had to walk out of the changing room with my dress unzipped with a larger audience than I would have liked. I also didn't like that you have to bring in anything and everything you might need - cups, fabric, elastic, hooks etc. Also I felt like she was a little condescending. I talked about making a second skirt for me dress and she looked at me with these huge puppy dog eyes and said "oh no I'm sorry honey we don't make clothes" like it was the end of the world. I decided to go with Lee's Tailors for a variety of reasons, one of them was that they had everything they needed in the store and I didn't have to run to the fabric store with a vague idea of what I needed. read more

I trusted Krystyna with my wedding dress on the recommendation of a friend. Immediately on meeting her and having my first consultation I could tell she knew exactly what she was doing, still, I was nervous. It was an expensive dress with lots of tulle and beading. Her team turned my dress around in 3 days!! Then she insisted on sending it back for a second go because it wasn't "perfect" (I thought it was fine). For no additional cost, she perfected the dress and despite having to take it in 3 sizes and completely rebuild the bodice, you would never know she touched it! Since then (9 years ago!), I've taken everything I've needed tailored to her and have never been disappointed. I've referred many brides, too, as each, like me, feared for who they could trust. Every one has reported back and similar experience of shock and awe at just how good of a job she's done. read more

Krystyna saw me and my wedding dress after another seamstress had already altered it. I wasn't happy with the fit, so I was hoping to she would give it a second look. The fit on my dress went from a C- to an A+ in 2 short days. Her shop is tiny, and she does do measuring right there in front of other customers who are waiting. However, everyone in the waiting room seemed to be her "regular" customers which made me feel like I was in the right place. Her price was on the high end but SO worth it. read more

I was headed back to work after maternity leave and I forgot all my work pants needed hemmed. This place came recommended by a trusted neighbor. I dropped off my pants and two hours later they were ready. Fantastic. Everyone there was very professional. You can't beat the speed and my pants look great. I subtracted a star because they don't take credit card. That would be a nice upgrade. read more

Krystina is simply wonderful. I bought a used wedding dress that had previous alterations and she made it fit perfect in two visits. She is FAST. She mentors the other girls in her shop. She is a tad pricey but totally worth it. read more

Krystyna's Tailor Shop - Fabulous alterations on a pre-worn dress!! - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Cary, North Carolina

Very very expensive!!! $70 to barely take up straps and sides of a child's dress. She claims the lady that pinned the dress explained the cost breakdown. Not true, as I would have never agreed to that for a child's dress that only cost $20. Only thing I was told, is it would be $17 at pick up; however, I guess she said $70, but I thought she said $17, as $70 would have never crossed my mind as an option for the amount of work being done on a CHILD'S DRESS. Her accent was very difficult to understand. Botton line, she is way overpriced!!!! read more

I had a change of plans for a residency interview and I needed a new suit altered ASAP. I called Krystyna's shop and told her my situation and she told me that she could do it same day in a couple of hours. She wasn't kidding... I went in, she took my measurements, and I can back a couple of hours later to a perfectly fit suit that was able to wear proudly and even got compliments on at my interview. Definitely a God-send! I would HIGHLY recommend her and her shop! read more

I was very disappointed with the service there. My fiance' and I brought her wedding dress and my suit there for alterations. Her dress needed very little work. I haven't bought a suit in 40 years and when I bought it I had to get a larger size to fit my shoulders and chest. Since the coat was large the pants that came with it were also large-too large for me by about 4-5 sizes. When she was marking my suit out she didn't say anything about the pants- just pulled in the waist and marked the length. She charged us $510 to alter these two items! When we went back in to get our clothes the store was busy. She put our items in a dressing room and my fiance' changed into her gown. It fit her well and she was pleased. I put on my suit and came out and Krystyna just game me a quick look and shook her head yes. The pants were very large through the legs, crotch, and butt. I pulled the pant legs out and said "What about all of this?" She said "that's just the way they are made, I can't do anything about that" and went to the next customer. She literally spent about 15 seconds with me. Now a week before my wedding I am trying to find something to wear that I won't be embarrassed with. I'll never go back to her and charging us so much for what she did was a rip off. read more

Krystyna was a life saver. My dress got hung up in customs. She did my alterations in less than a week. She did a great job.

Never going here again. I had to get some pants tailored and they closed at 2 pm on a Saturday. I called at 1:30 and made sure with the owner that they would be open at 1:50. We drove as fast as we could to get there and encountered traffic and an accident on the way. Long story short we got there at 1:57. The owner turned us away in the rudest fashion! She did this to another guy in the same situation. Obviously she doesn't want our business. read more

Everyone I met was very nice! High attention to detail. Krystyna immediately knew what to do to make my dress look and feel great! This was after 2 tailors told me there was nothing they could do. Very quick turn around time. It will not be the cheapest alterations you ever received however it will be well worth it! read more

Expensive! I took my wedding dress here for an estimate and they gave me an estimate that was $150 more than Lee's. Obviously I went with Lee's and they did a beautiful job! read more

I purchased my wedding dress from a second hand shop and brought it to Krystyna's for some alterations. I had her pin down the back panels, take out the waist and change the dress from an A-line to a Trumpet (AKA- mermaid AKA- fit and flare). Her shop has plenty of room and mirrors to go over what you want and she is quick to pin everything into place. I came back for two fittings; only because I wanted her to take in the bottom half a bit more. Her work is flawless and she knows her fabric. All of this for $135!!! Which if you know anything about wedding dress alterations is a deal. She even replaced the broken hook at the top of my zipper without me asking and free of charge. I could not be more pleased with her and her work. read more

I had my wedding dress altered here. I was able to come in, get an honest quote about the price (what she told me after the first time was exactly what I paid in the end), the dress was altered within a couple weeks of me getting sized for it, and the end result was fantastic! She did a great job, and it was a very easy process. read more

Krystyna was able to alter my wedding dress in less than a week and she did a beautiful job. She was pricey compared to other tailors and it was a bit awkward trying on my wedding dress for an audience and getting fitted in front of several other people waiting to be seen. She even unzipped my dress and exposed my underwear to those waiting! I think a private room for major/more revealing alterations would make customers more comfortable--especially us shy folks! But all in all my dress looks great. read more

This kind of customer service still exists! Been going there for many years. Last time I went there, I had a broken zipper in a long coat. She stood there at the counter and worked on it for 20 minutes, fixed it, and would not charge me a dime. She will meet your expectation and probably surpass it. (But yes, bring cash or check. No cards, Cary people) it's worth it. read more

Took my wedding gown here on the recommendation of Gorgeous Gowns in Cary and wasn't disappointed. While the place was bustling, Krystyana took as much time as needed with me. The alterations (hemming and repair of a pulled seam) were done quickly and well. They weren't cheap, but for a wedding dress, they seemed reasonable. Would use again for other alterations. read more

Krystyna is amazing! She altered my wedding dress, all my bridesmaids' dresses, and the groom's suit. All of them were done quickly and were perfect. She is so skilled and talented! I am thrilled with how beautiful everyone looked!!! read more

This is long overdue because I've been bringing my alterations and repairs to Krystyna's for nearly 20 years. Competent, fast, and fairly priced, I've never had cause to look elsewhere. read more

I've been coming here for years and all I can say is this is the best place ever! I travel back from college just to come here. I've never had an issue and my clothes are always perfectly tailored. If you need something tailored, this is the place to come to. I've never had an issue with turnarounds and she has done items for me the same day that are tailored impeccably well. I highly advise coming here. read more

The shop does AMAZING work- however, the owner is snippy and a bit rude. They have an extremely fast turnaround which is great if you need something quickly! Also, they don't take debit/credit cards which is kind of a pain.. Her prices aren't cheap by any means, and I don't mind paying for excellent work- however, I feel like if I'm paying 45$ I should be able to use my card. It's more of a nuisance than anything. read more

I picked up my dress from the bridal shop and it was HUGE! A friend recommended Krystyna for the alterations. My dress has 7 layers with lace trim and beaded appliqués covering the entire dress. The bodice of the dress had to be reconfigured to fit me and the dress had to be hemmed about 6 inches. Given the intricate detail of my dress, I was very nervous about how the alterations were going to be done. We met with Krystyna on a Monday and she didn't hesitate once. She knew exactly what needed to be done. We picked it up that Friday, FOUR days later and it fit PERFECTLY! You cannot even tell it had been altered. Krystyna knows what she is doing and her turn around time is quick! read more

I am a customer of Krystyna's since I moved to Cary over 10 years ago! She has done various alterations such as hems on pants, jeans, dresses, etc. Also, she did lengthen hem on thermal lined curtains for me as well. She is direct and firm on if she can do the job or not and give you the price to see if you want it altered or not. On my curtains, she also did the inner panel which I did not expect as I only needed the outer one dropped down slightly and not in front of a window to see. However, she did assist me with putting in all the pins/hooks to hang the curtains at no charge! Her business has grown over the years and obviously there are peak seasons with prom/wedding etc when it will be busier. If you are not a customer, you do not know when it is your turn or to take a number which seems like you are not acknowledged and have to wait a bit to ask or show what you need done. I find her work good and always remember to check it before you leave in case there is a problem. Best advice, if you are looking to having a wedding dress or something altered or a bunch of stuff that would be time consuming, perhaps swing by or call and request an appointment for her to assist you! Definitely recommend her tailor shop! read more

Krystyna is the sweetest! She did my prom dress tailoring super quick. I highly recommend
