I brought a dress to Lora in the spring that I needed altered in a weeks time. She was fast and totally saved the day for me. My bust had to be taken in as well as the waist. Turned out great! I paid $40 for the work and I've heard nightmares of people paying basically the price of their dress for alterations. read more

Lora’s Alterations - It was perfect - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Mission, Kansas

I went to Laura's for a simple alteration on a brand new skirt (tags still on). She asked for 3 weeks to complete the job. I called 3 times yesterday to ask if it was done - no answer. I stopped by on my way home and she hadn't even touched the skirt despite it presumably being ready the next day. Nonetheless she said it would be ready on time. I came in the next day to pick it up after it was finally ready. I brought it home in the garment bag and noticed it had ink stains all over it. She didn't bother to tell me that she stained it, nor that she tried to get it out and left a water stain as well. Horrible service. Accidents happen but not informing a customer is inappropriate and poor business. read more

Lora’s Alterations - Stain on skirt after alterations - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Mission, Kansas

I have used Lora's Alterations several times over the past 11 years and always been pleased with her work. Items are always ready when promised and done in a very professional manner. I've even popped in with quick little fix items like a hem needing repaired on new clothing items and she just drops what she is doing and fixes it right then for me. It's so nice to have an alteration shop like this in the neighborhood! read more

Great alterations and reasonable prices for the quality and service. I have become regular!

I stopped in because my normal tailor / alterationer broke her wrist. Lora is quick, direct and knows what she's doing. She had me up and standing in the pants I needed hemmed, made her marks and sent me on my way in less than 10 minutes. One week later I had my pants. Qualitywise, not bad. The pants were a hair long, but nothing to really get upset over. I would also trust her with other articles of clothing. read more

My alterations are never ready when promised. She demands payment when you bring clothes in--rather than after the job is finished when you could inspect it. read more

I had to have a bridesmaids dress altered A LOT. It needed to be hemmed, taken in, straps shortened, wrap altered, and a few other minor issues. It was this mint chiffon color and I knew it was going to be a nightmare to have altered. It was also the week before the wedding... I was in and out in 15 min after she pinned, marked and measured. It was completed in just a few days and was absolutely perfect. I can't remember what the price was, but for all the work she had to do I thought it was totally reasonable. I now only take my items here, and she always does a fabulous job. I don't mind paying a little more because I know it will be done when I need it and look fantastic. read more

Quality of workmanship: 5 stars Pricing: 1 star The lady does great work, but charges too much. $16.75 to put a button on a pair of pants and sew up a 4" hole in a shirt sleeve seam? We also replaced a zipper in a jacket for $40. For those prices you'd think I coild get my clothes back faster than a week. If you need it done right the first time then this is the place, but you're going to pay through the nose for it. I'll keep trying other shops before I come back here. read more

I just dropped off a party dress for my 21st birthday with a very intricate sequined designed that i need shortened in 10 days!!! Other places were rude & trying to charge me $100+!! However i came here & Lora was not intimidated by the dress or the time frame & so kind!!! & will accept cash or check payments after it's done which is so awesome!!!! She made me feel so much less stressed about the dress & did not seem annoyed w my request like the other tailors did at other places!!! :) 10/10 recommend!! & she runs the place herself this will be where i will go & tell ppl to go from now on!!! read more

I go to Lora's Alterations with all of my bridesmaid dresses. They are always done on time and fit me great. The entire process is quick and easy. I also love that they just started taking Venmo! read more

STAY AWAY. She ruined my bridesmaid dress. I had to wear the dress will the seal messed up and when I called her to let her know what had happened (not asking for money off) she asked me if I wanted to fight her. read more

I came here on a recommendation from someone whose opinion on all things garment-related I hold in high regard. I had a bridesmaid dress for a wedding that needed a few small alterations. I'll start off with the fact that the alterations were flawless - it was hard to tell that anything had been done to the dress at all from looking at it, but it definitely fit better. The downside is, if you're looking for a friendly customer service experience, this wasn't it. I don't know that we exchanged more than 10 words total, and I felt a little like I was intruding just walking through the shop door. There was also a spot on the front of the dress where a pin had clearly been used to put a tag or something on, leaving tiny holes in the fabric - which is satin, so that's not going anywhere. The dress is a super dark navy, so they're not really visible, but I noticed them when I got it home. Also - cash or check only. No cards. I'd probably go back, but I would be open to other options too. Not a bad choice if it is close by. read more

I took a pair of men's jeans to be hemmed and needed them right away. I am as able to get them done in 20 minutes and paid 15. She did a great job for the last minute. I would go back! read more

Look, I don't go to a tailor and expect deep meaningful conversations. I do however expect a decent and reasonably priced service so for that, I'm extremely impressed. read more

I took a skirt in that needed to be altered. A cotton skirt with pleats. I was measured and we discussed what I wanted done. I was assured it would be done in a week. I was pleased it could be done so soon as I was going to going out of town and wanted the skirt for my trip. However, when I went to pick up the skirt on the date she told me it would be ready, I was told it wasn't done because it was "too hard". Upon further examination, hardly anything had been done. Only the zipper had been removed! When I asked why I hadn't been called when she determined it couldn't be done, she just said sorry. If you need something hemmed, maybe she could do it. But based on how she handled this situation, I won't be going back. read more

Wow I won't be going back here. She made me feel like I was an inconvenience to be in her shop. I was dropping clothes off and trying to get and idea of pricing for future items ad she wouldn't get off the phone to help me. One and done for sure. Prices were also MUCH higher than other places I've been. read more

I've had many dresses altered there and all have turned out great and done in a timely manner. Her prices are about average but she really knows what she's doing read more

I needed my wedding dress altered and had no clue where to go. I previously had worked down the street from Lora's shop, but never been there. Her custom service is different, but she knows what she's doing and does an AMAZING job! I loved working with Lora! She has her blunt personality and gets straight to the point. She's a sweet old lady who knows her stuff and will give you an honest opinion. Only downfall is that it seemed a little pricey. However, I was leaving an expensive important dress with her which she cared for beautifully. read more

Never again. The work looks fine, but $37 to bring in a pair of men's suit pants?! And it still took a full week to get done! Outrageous! If we hadn't been in a crunch to find someplace I would have gone someplace else, where in the past I've had 3 pairs of women's pants altered for less than the price of this one pair. read more

I went to Lora's to get measurements taken for a wedding dress; As I walked in the door, I thought... yea maybe this will be okay. Forget it. I walked in, and asked for measurements. Lora looked at me like I was scum. She looked at what measurements I needed and rudely asked, "Are you getting this from CHINA?!?" First of all... not her business. Second of all, no. For someone being from a different country, I thought she would have empathy, but apparently not. She also yelled at me that she accepts zero responsibility. I should have got the courage to go else where. During the measurement, I apparently wasn't worthy enough to talk to anymore because I just got a finger swirling around frantically. I got the feeling she was "non-chalantly" taking my measurements, so I went for a second opinion, and her numbers were off by an inch and a half on several measurements. If you are looking for an experience where you get good customer service AND accurate results, cross this place off your list! read more

I have used Lora's three times & have had great luck each time. She does a great job! I have always found her to be as nice as she needed to be - I am sure she is busy & I haven't really needed anything complicated, so the fact that she wasn't chatty didn't bother me at all. I picked up some items this week & she was delightful! She has patched & hemmed jeans for us & fixed tiny holes in sweaters/t-shirts, & I plan to bring any & all things I need repaired/altered to her. I highly recommend her. read more

Lora does superb work. She can alter any type of fabric. Some reviews say she is not friendly; but in all fairness, she is very sweet but you have to initiate the conversation. I go there for alterations not conversation anyway! If you're not happy with the length she hemmed; she will re-do satisfied. I first met her at Goodman's tailoring and was so happy when she opened her own store after Goodman's closed. She is CASH only so be prepared when you pick up your items. Usually takes a week but if need sooner she makes accommodations. Excellent tailoring and reasonable fees. Open Saturday 9-1! read more

I have never written a Yelp review, but thought this place deserved one. The lady that runs this place is extremely rude and charges outrageously high prices. The highest prices I have ever seen at an alteration place! I went somewhere else and my bill was cut in half. Save yourself the time and money and go somewhere different! read more

With all due respect, I hesitate to give this woman even one star. I had two shirts that needed hem repairs. One was a simple cotton T shirt with the hem coming loose in the back and another sport shirt with a loose hem on part of one sleeve. Neither repair would have received a passing grade in an 8th grade home economics class. The T shirt hem was simply sewn flat and wasn't sewn evenly at that. The hem on the sleeve was slightly puckered. Now, both shirts are wearable, but they were not done in a professional manner. The workmanship was sloppy, the customer service was lacking, and the cost was much too high for the poor quality of work done. I will not take any work back to Lora, and would not recommend her to any family or friends. read more

Just walked out of here after the lady just told me she couldn't complete my item in a week. I am okay that she doesn't have time to do it in a week - what I am not okay with is that she told me "I just slapped her in the face" by telling her I had to go elsewhere elsewhere. I explained to her it was just business. I'm sad because I needed a new alternations lady since I'm petite and get most things altered. read more

I am quite short and everything I buy normally has to be hemmed. I could have been a great customer for Lora. Friendly customer service??! She is just plain rude. Her work is fine, if you are willing to put up with the attitude and unpleasant personality. I was born and raised in the United States, but any communication issues were definitely my fault. Really? read more

This was my first experience here. I took my graduation dress to be slightly taken in and came to pick it up. Had no issues fitting but was slightly concerned I wouldn't know how much it'd cost till I picked it up 5 days later and had to pay in cash only. Thinking $20 would be plenty I politely said I would have to go to the ATM across the street due to not bringing enough money. She rudely said "you only brought 20? Do you know how many hours this took me". I responded with "I'm sorry ma'am I am a teenage girl who has never gotten something altered, I will bring you your money in 2 min". It was $43 to get my dress barely taken in. I asked to see my receipt after it was not given to me and was reprimanded with "you think it cost too much", politely I said "no my mother would like to have the receipt thank you very much" despite YES it being way overpriced. Also it is none of her business why I need my receipt, believe it or not most people do want their receipts! Do not recommend and will not be back. 1 star for the rudeness and bad customer service. read more

Their alterations seem to be quality work; however, they are not all concerned with customer satisfaction. Their prices seem way too high, and they don't give you an itemized receipt when you pick up your clothes. Lora just says some arbitrary number as the cost with no explanation. They only accept cash or checks, and apparently they only accept checks that have a local address. I am from Florida, so all of my checks have an out-of-state address. I have picked up clothes there twice and both times I paid with a check from the same financial institution. The first time, no problems. The second time, however, Lora told me she doesn't accept checks that are from "out of state." After I explained to her that those are the only checks I had, she told me to write my phone number on the check, I'm assuming in case it bounced so she'd have a way to get in contact with me. I prefer not to be treated like a criminal for paying someone to perform a task so I will not be returning. read more
