My wedding dress was about 1-2 sizes too big for me, had non detachable sleeves, and a long train that needed hemming. She fixed everything and more!

I knew it had to be altered to make it shorter so it wouldn't drag on the ground. I was searching for a place to get it altered and someone recommended Alterations by Sammie on Facebook. I saw pictures on Facebook of Sammie's work basically remaking someone's wedding dress and it was AMAZING so I decided to make an appointment. Sammie was so friendly and professional and pinned everything to make sure I would be ok with the new length of the dress. Additionally, she noticed something in the back of the dress that she could alter to make it look even better on me. When I went to pick up the finished dress, I was completely floored. The dress looked FABULOUS and you wouldn't even be able to tell it had been altered in the first place. Sammie does absolutely amazing work and I wouldn't hesitate to go back whenever I needed anything altered. I was so impressed that my mom even went to get her pants for the wedding hemmed. If you are in need of any clothing alterations, go to Alterations by Sammie. You will not be disappointed! (Pictures will be added later after the wedding next week)

She agreed I could pick up on a confirmed date and time a few weeks later. When I arrived it was barely worked on. She is completely disorganized with pins on the floor by the way which is a safety hazard. I had to come back 1-2 hours later so she can fix it. Complete waste of time and unprofessional. I did not recommend her to any friends or family- there are other tailors in the area that are more professional, timely and offer affordable prices

This woman is completely incompetent! I am a costume maker for professional theater. My…read moredaughter-in-law brought me her formal gown that needed hemming on short notice. I was completely swamped with my own work and working a narrow hem on chiffon is not something I normally do, so I thought I would take it to a supposedly professional tailor who could do it better and faster than I could. Boy, do I regret that decision! There is a very specific way to hem chiffon which is NOT to cut first - this is exactly what she did and so there is no good way to work a narrow hem after that and on top of that it was uneven and she GLUED the front slit. I honestly don't know what to call this type of work other than butchery by someone who clearly has no idea what they are doing. You would do better with your local dry cleaner.

Shirl is also very responsive and I knew I was leaving my dress in great hands. Since Shirl started making her own dresses before she started altering them, she really understands how to adjust a dress in the most flattering way possible, and is a true expert at what she does. A huge bonus is that Shirl has an amazing sense of humor (dry and glorious!) which put me at ease during my fittings. I had plenty of options closer to me when I chose who would alter my dress, but am very happy I made the trek from South Philly to see Shirl!

After I picked it up, the jacket was stretched out and no longer fit properly. When I tried to discuss the issue, the manager was rude, refused to listen, and made no attempt to resolve the problem or take responsibility. I have cleaned similar down jackets at other dry cleaners in a different state with excellent results. Branded jackets always come with proper care instructions, which were clearly not followed here. Very disappointing experience.

WARNING: Horrible Prom Dress Alterations!!!…read more I took my daughter's one-of-a-kind prom dress to Center Square Cleaners by accident and it was a horrible mistake. I thought CSC was Sarah Dressmaker but they are clearly not and they are inept at formal dress alterations, not to mention, they are egregiously overpriced. FIRST VISIT: I entered CSC thinking it was Sarah Dressmaker. It wasn't until my daughter had her dress on and the safety pins were marking the required alteration that I inquired about the business name. The woman told me Sarah Dressmaker was located behind CSC but assured me that she does many formal gown and prom dress alterations. My daughter's dress had one opaque layer and three layers of sheer tulle that required hemming. Total cost: $175. I was shocked at the price for this alteration but I thought that was the going rate. It wasn't until I called Sarah Dressmaker on the way home and asked her for a price to hem a four layer prom dress...her cost was between $60-100. SECOND VISIT: I returned to CSC one week later to pick up the dress. I wanted to be sure the hem was perfect before I left so I had my daughter try the dress on. I was horrified to see so many jagged, uneven edges that looked like a child cut the dress. The woman took a pair of scissors to the tulle in an attempt to correct the mess. There was also white chalk on the tulle that was never removed. I was told that they would fix the dress if I could leave it overnight. Before leaving, I inquired about the exorbitant cost for what was a extremely sub-par alteration. The owner said her prices are her prices and she doesn't price according to other cleaners. I asked two other cleaners in the area what they would charge for the same alteration and the highest price was $120. I asked the owner if she would reduce the price since I had to come back multiple times but she refused. Instead, she offered to make my daughter a mask using the extra material that was cut from the dress. She said she would only charge me $10 for this mask - this was supposed to be a significantly discount - but she failed to realized that there was a sign hanging in her store advertising custom special masks for $10. THIRD VISIT: I returned the following day to pick up the dress without my daughter. I was told everything was perfect but once I got home I noticed more jagged edges. I will never return to CSC!!!
