I came here to have a hem done on a pair of pants that came with a suit I bought online…read more The receptionist seemed nice and got the gentleman (younger, not Jay) to do my hem measurement. It took him literally 2 seconds. I was skeptical at first. It was a Saturday and the girl said Wednesday. I returned Wednesday to get the pants, same girl took care of me. Quick in and out. I didn't check them there, but checked at home. Perfect fit! That guy is good! Very impressed!

Absolutely terrible experience! We were referred to this alteration place by another tailor who was…read morebooked up due to prom season. The women here are kind, but that's about the only good thing I can say. I honestly don't know if they're inexperienced or just have never worked with a Black woman's curves before, but not one, not two, but three of my dresses were completely botched. I also had a top altered and it came back lopsided. After the first round of alterations, the owner tried to gaslight me, saying they had only adjusted the strap for my burgundy dress (which was never the main issue). I initially asked for the sides to be taken in because the bust area was too big, but somehow, that got lost in translation. So I paid AGAIN, for all to be fixed and what I got back was even worse. Everything felt rushed, uneven, and downright sloppy. I bawled my eyes out because these dresses were meant for my birthday trip. The white dress? It was the most horrendous one, imagine the outline of Sarah Baartman on a modern-day garment. That's how distorted the shape was. Even after a third attempt, the seams were still crooked and the dress was unwearable. I'm now left dressless for my trip and out of money. If I could give this place zero stars, I would.

Lucy has tailored everything from jeans to blouses for me. Most recently, she did a WONDERFUL job…read morewith my lace and beaded mermaid style wedding dress. She was completely professional and clearly very knowledgeable, with decades of experience. She took in my torso/bust seams from the sides and did not over-complicate the bustle (3 points was perfect for my train). Unlike some wedding dress seamstresses, Lucy did not tack on any unnecessary charges or work. She was very fair in her pricing ($210 for 3 point bustle, taking in torso and shoulder seams of lace dress with beading). From beginning to end, my wedding dress alterations took 3 weeks, which included an initial and then second fitting. Stay away from the fake seamstresses trying to make a buck off of you (asking a few too many questions that are not about your dress at all...? Not a good sign.). BOTTOM LINE: Lucy is trustworthy and does quality work.

I've been coming to Lucy's shop since I was a little girl, everyone will always recommend you to…read moreher because she really is the BEST! I got a dress tightened around armpits and waste that I was convinced nobody would be able to fix, being that it's an extra large ( im a s ) and you have to align the pattern, I also got pants hemmed by the feet and WOW. it costed me UNDER 50 bucks. For two pieces of clothing!!!! That's absolutely amazing. The prices here are so incredibly fair for the quality of her work. Always leave a good tip! She is incredibly fast and will work on your schedule if needed too. Here's a photo of the dress she altered!

First let me say that the majority of these reviews here appear to be from disgruntled people who…read moretook the time to trash Pier Cleaners. This shop has 100's if not 1000's of satisfied clients and these reviews are definitely NOT the norm. I have used their pick-up service and have dropped off dry cleaning and they have been wonderful. I have never had an issue here and have frequented Pier Cleaners for a least ten years. It is not the closest dry cleaner to me, I live in Narragansett, but I trust them and have NEVER had a problem. I highly recommend Pier Cleaners! They are reliable and my clothes are always perfectly dry cleaned!

After weeks of chasing Pier Cleaners for a resolution, I'm finally writing this review in hopes of…read moregetting the attention of owners Phyllis and Larry Fish--because, according to their employee Donna, they haven't responded to her either. My husband dropped off a king-size comforter and several articles of clothing for cleaning. When he returned to pick everything up on JULY 6, the clothing was there, but the comforter was missing. He emailed Pier Cleaners about it and received no response. When I called, I was immediately met with an attitude from Donna, who simply told me, "It's not here," as though that somehow settled the matter. We PAID Pier Cleaners to clean our comforter. They lost it. I wasn't going to say, "Oh, okay--thanks for looking!" and accept that we were now out both the cleaning fee and the comforter itself. After I continued pressing the issue, Donna said she would have both the Westerly and Wakefield locations search for it and call me back. She never did. A week later, I called for an update and was told, "They still can't find it." At that point, I asked the obvious question: What are the next steps? Pier Cleaners accepted our property, charged us for a service, lost the comforter, and offered absolutely no solution. I explained that I expected to be refunded for the cleaning and reimbursed for the comforter their business lost. How could that not be the appropriate response? Donna said she needed to speak with the owners because she wasn't authorized to make that decision. Another week passed with no update. I called yet again, only to hear, "They can't find it." YES--we had already established that. She then told me they had procedures to follow, that the locations had searched a second time, and that she had been "too busy" to call me. Apparently, there is a form that only an owner can send to document the comforter's value and begin the reimbursement process. Donna again said she would contact them. Another week passed. Still nothing. After what must have been my fifth call in two months, the only update I received was, "I haven't heard anything yet." The customer service throughout this ordeal has been absolutely deplorable. Pier Cleaners lost a customer's property, collected payment for cleaning it, and has spent two months dragging out the situation as though WE are inconveniencing THEM by asking for accountability. There has been no proactive communication, no apology, no reimbursement, and no meaningful attempt to resolve the problem. Two months later, we still have no comforter and no resolution. I guess I'll look forward to making call number six. I strongly recommend NOT doing business with Pier Cleaners unless you're willing to risk having your belongings lost and then spending months chasing them for answers.
