    Unreasonable Prices - Do NOT Recommend UPDATE 3/3- DEFINITELY GO TO DIAMOND'S ALTERATIONS- they charged me $25! I usually go to Diamond Alterations, but decided to try this business while I was at Firewheel shopping today (3/2). Needed a dress hemmed about 1 inch, because it was too long, and I need it in five days, by close of business Friday. For context, provided pictures of hem and dress material tag. The male attendant 'studied' the hem (inner and outer shell) for about three minutes and then gave me an absolutely RIDICULOUS quote of $120!! I guess I'll be going to Diamond Tailor tomorrow or taking out my own sewing machine so I can get the job done in about 15-20 min (5-10 min because I'm rusty ). That is absolutely ridiculous! I'd even pay $50-$60 understanding this is a business, knowing full well the true cost is about $10, but $120?! Absolutely not. My family won't be going back and we do not recommend.

    Great experience from a very particular bride who wanted multiple fittings over several months! They also took care of my mother in law and my bridal party. This was an incredibly professional tailor and I will continue to recommend them to everyone. Thank you!!

    Wedding dress vintage

    We needed mayor repairs on a vintage wedding dress for my daughter. She made that dress look new by the time of the wedding. She was attentive and prompt with the work needed. My daughter got her stem dress and the wedding was beautiful. Thank you!

    I got married in June of this year and consulted this shop for bridal alterations, she did amazing! My dress needed a few places to fit properly and she measured and delivered stunning results. She added a bustle and kept the detail and integrity of my dress in mind as she altered. Very reasonable on alterations pricing as well. If you're a soon to be bride I highly recommend this place.

    Perfect fit with the adjusted neckline thanks to May!

    May is the fairy godmother of tailoring! I had gotten a stunning dress for a wedding and then found out a few days beforehand that the bride wanted me to wear something else, so I was scrambling since the new dress I had in mind needed tailoring to be a perfect fit. It was a Tuesday evening after 5 o'clock and I called multiple other tailors in the Rockwall area and every single one of them told me they couldn't get it done by Saturday with such a short turnaround time. May was probably the fifth tailor I had called and without hesitation she told me to bring it on in. The drive out to firewheel was absolutely worth it and when I got there she was so incredibly friendly and warm. I put the dress on and she knew instantly what to do. She didn't seem intimidated at all about taking the front part of the dress up and adding in cups to fill out the bodice even though the whole thing is covered in sequins. While I was there another girl who had also needed a last minute tailoring was picking up her dress and I got to see her try it on. It was obvious May had nailed the tailoring and the girl felt stunning and excited for a wedding she was flying out to the very next morning. I left the dress with her on Tuesday and came back to pick it up on Friday evening. I was delighted to try it on and have a perfect fit! May is such a gift and absolutely who you wanna to go to for your tailoring needs, especially if you've got something last minute! I will for sure be using her services in the future.

    Omi I'm not sure how I can put into words of how much I adore May Allen !!! 1st quick response to my inquiry 2nd omg the most gorgeous like boutique!!! Bright and charming with a lot of class with a comfortable atmosphere ! She is by far so so very sweet and uplifting! The sweet lady that works with her is as well .... They both made me feel so special and like I was their only client on all 3 visits ! Her work is amazing and she was able to get both my fittings in with a month time table which general is over 3 months and she never rushed me. My wedding dress needed to be altered in several areas and she made it look like it was made on me ! Absolutely beautiful stunning workmanship! I will forever only use her and refer her no matter how far I may need to travel . I'm a lot older first bride on my almost mid 50s and her sweetness and banter with me made me feel as if I was a young bride. So easy to work /talk with and she literally took my jitters away and made my day so special with my dream dress! Just love her and her shop and I pray that she forever stays in this profession because us girls are always too hard on ourselves and she lightens our fears while creating a masterpiece!! The pictures don't show justice ....she is amazing !! Thank you May!' Just love you , your beautiful shop and sweet coworker !

    I was walking around Firewheel and just happen to come across this place. I called to see if I could come in for a suit fitting for my son and she was very accommodating. The owner was nice and attentive to detail. With a growing boy, she was able to fix the hemming, waist, and sleeves so he could use the suit again after he outgrows it. We would just need to come back so she can extend it. Overall, I was very pleased with the quality of service.

    I've only ever had clothes mended or taken in -- nothing custom-made. Very reliable and reasonably priced.

    It is NOT cheap! And not impressed with the work. Alterations looked like high school project. Definitely NOT recommend.

    I also don't really know what is comparable as I have never been to a tailor and I also respect her craft.

    On 09.20.2014 I went into Spiritwear Embroidery to have a shirt made for a girl on my softball…read moreteam. I needed the shirt by Wednesday, October 8th so I assumed I was giving it enough time to have the shirt made. I brought a shirt just like the one I needed made as an example, spoke with two employees there at the store, gave all the details, paid my money, was assured it would be ready in time and left assuming the shirt would be made. When I called back to check on the status of the shirt, I spoke with MJ who stated she was the owner of the company. I asked about the shirt and she stated that she never got the order - apparently due to an error made by one of the employees that helped me in which she stated only worked there for three days. From the beginning of my conversation with MJ, in my opinion, she seemed less than interested in my concern or taking responsibility for the situation yet she stated she would work on getting the shirt ready in time. Later, after a bunch of drama and wasted time, the shirt was not done and I was refunded my money. Will never do business with this store or owner again. I didn't feel like a customer, I felt like I was a bother. Very poor customer service.

    MJ is great! I've been using Spirit Wear for four years now and have never been disappointed. Great…read moreservice and work quality. I definitely suggest using Spirit Wear. I own a pest control company and use them for all my uniforms.
