My dream dress was long sleeve lace, yet I purchased a strapless plunging neckline dress with floral appliqué. I tried it on every day for a week hating the dress more with each try on...then I called Custom Alterations for a hem and take in, she answered and swiftly got me on the schedule. When I arrived at my appt I basically let her know I despised the dress and wanted to give it a complete makeover. I thought she was going to tell me I was crazy especially coming to her LESS THAN 8 WEEKS BEFORE MY WEDDING...but she was confident and totally up for whatever I wanted to do! I told her my long list of things I wanted to change and shared many Pinterest photos with her, and she emailed me an invoice later listing all the changes I wanted with pricing. She was transparent about pricing, timeline, and the dress's limitations...really great communication!! She created sleeves including buttons, loops, and straps for attachment. Removed, recreated, re attached and hemmed my skirt. And she recreated the bodice and added lace. I came to her really upset with the dress I purchased and left a few short weeks later with the dress I envisioned myself in. It looked absolutely amazing and nothing like the original dress at all. I love when someone has a talent they are passionate about and do that thing really well. And that is Peggy and her team at Custom Alterations. They are true artists and witnessing their creations was inspiring! Plus Peggy's amazing customer service as a business owner was remarkable. Very friendly and personable. Here's some before and after photos!

HABIBA IS TERRIBLE! SCAMMED us out of $650 and refused to fix the dress or give any sort of refund…read more DIDNT EVEN MEASURE my fiance at all and tried to say the work we asked for was "impossible". We called other alteration shops and they said it was very possible. The dress was way too long to walk in and when we asked her to fix it she said to hold it up with her hand, thats not what we paid her $650 for! She does not respond to texts and is incredibly rude and hard to communicate with. Do not believe these reviews habiba is horrible do NOT spend your money here!!

I Love coming here because this lady does great work and rewards repeat business. I've been happy…read morewith everything I've brought here from my dress/work clothes to jeans and sweat pants, everything comes back meeting or exceeding my expectations. I like to get my jeans tailored and keep the original bottom hem, which she does very well IMO, and unlike other tailors I've never had to explain what I mean when I ask for this. One time, I was working late and called her back a bit after her operating hours. She was already on her way home and, even though I told her I could stop in the next day, she came back to get me my dress/work clothes! I believe she did this because I was in the parking lot of her store. Point is, she is a very sweet lady who clearly takes pride in her work and will work with you on whatever you need.

I told her what I wanted for my uniform and she would not do it because it was "too short". She completely ruined my day, and not to mention yelled at my little sister. Overall, if I could go back in time, I would never have came. When my other sister put in her skirt she laughed. Absolutely horrible. She is 11! I can not explain it emphasize enough how horrible and rude this woman is, and I would ever recommend to anyone. Put her out of business!!!

We took 2 suits for alteration for a wedding to Genia's. She looked at the items to make sure…read morethere was room to take out the seams. She gave us a pick up date but when we arrived she said the pants weren''t ready as she had been on vacation even though she gave us a pick up time. She said come the next day which we did. Genia's daughter brought the suits out on hangers and my husband paid a whopping $240! I suggested he try the suits to make sure they were right. He tried the pants for the wedding and we discovered a giant patch in the seat of the pants. They are unusable. Genia was highly defensive saying we had brought the pants in that way and it was not her responsibility. If there had been a patch we did not know as it was in the seam. I was astounded that a tailor would alter pants that would not be usable without notifying us there was a problem. I strongly suggest avoiding Genia's as customer care and pride in quality work does not appear to be a priority. She overcharges and customer satisfaction is not a priority. My son-in-law used Monteleone's with good results.

Margaret's is still a great tailor shop…read more We had two vests for a wedding that both needed to be larger. We thought this may be impossible, but we took them to Margaret and she was able to fix both vests. We brought in a third vest we had ordered and were planning to return, but she was able to use the fabric from the third extra vest to add more width to both of the too-small vests. They both look excellent and the price was only $40 per vest.

I've been here a couple of times for small jobs--hemming pants, ripped crotch (blame my…read morethighs)--but I just got back my first big formal wear alteration, and I'll base the substance of my review here on that. I bought a dress that was a couple sizes too big for me to wear as a guest to a wedding (actually bought the dress twice, but that's on me for not understanding UK sizes), and I decided it was easier to get a too large dress to fit than a too small dress. To that end, i was pretty much swimming in fabric. Both the cape and the dress had to be hemmed more than a coupla inches. I wore the shoes ill wear with the dress to the first fitting. Speaking of first fitting, I walked in without an appointment, but they were able to accommodate me and do the measurements and marking up. I also needed the halter tightened around the back of my neck and the waist brought in so the back piece laid flat against the small of my back. They could have brought the hips in, too, but we decided it wasn't necessary. I was nervous about giving instructions or ruining the garment/style, but Irina (the owner) was the one helping me the day I walked in and she was helpful in maintaining the integrity of the idea while making it fit. They gave me a month til I could come back (which was still a month before the event), and "lost" my dress upon pickup day. Scare quotes because they did find it that afternoon after i left, and I came back the next day to try it on and they gave me a small discount for the inconvenience/stress. I was not stressed because I was taking care of the tailoring so early (hopefully not TOO early...). Idk how much attention you get at a tailor, but everything seemed to fit right. This is a busy place, which is why they temporarily misplaced my items amidst their many many dress jobs. A man was getting fitted while I was picking up, which is why I didn't know if I would have recieved more attention otherwise (double booked? Again, didn't really need more?). Ive got a few pants for fall/winter that ill need hemmed so I'll be back. I remember hem jobs being like 20 per piece? Im kinda embarrassed about how much ive spent on this dress (including buying 2x mind you), but I'll say that the tailoring job, even before the discount, was like...70% of the retail price? Which i suppose is fair for totally resizing a formal piece? Anyway, Irina said I'd get a lot of compliments and she liked my style, which i hope both are true even if she was just being nice.

They are very efficient and customer friendly. The alterations were perfect. It was competitive…read morepricing.
