I needed a crocheted sleeveless shirt repaired. When I called, I was given an appointment promptly. I was impressed with how wonderful the article was crocheted. It looked like new again. The fee was reasonable & the workmanship was awesome. I highly recommend May's Tailoring & Alterations. read more

From the Business

History

Established in 1980.

For as long as I can remember, my mother has been creating beautiful garments and doing meticulous alterations for family and friends — purely out of passion and generosity. Her remarkable talent and attention to detail have always set her apart. After years of sharing her skills freely, we decided it was time to turn her lifelong passion into something more — a business that allows her to continue doing what she loves while gaining the independence and fulfillment she deserves. Today, she brings decades of experience, artistry, and dedication to every project, treating each piece with the same care she has always given to those she loves. This business is more than a service — it’s the continuation of a legacy built on talent, patience, and heart.

Meet the Business Owner: May B.

This business was founded in honor of my mother’s exceptional talent and lifelong dedication to the art of sewing and embroidery. While many women in her generation learned the basics of these crafts, my mother stood out for her natural skill and creativity. Without formal training, she mastered the ability to create all types of garments — even intricate wedding dresses — simply by studying patterns. Over the years, her expertise has continued to evolve. Today, she is highly skilled in all types of clothing alterations, combining precision, artistry, and a deep passion for her work. Every piece she handles reflects her commitment to quality, attention to detail, and genuine love for the craft.

Terry runs a very efficient and effective small business so of course she's going to divide her time and attention as appropriate. Anyways, now that that is off my chest. I found Terry to do excellent work. Terry was referred to me by an acquaintance and the appointment was easy to book on her website. I had this bridesmaid dress with a ton of layers and ?tull that needed some adjustments made. Needless to say, she had the dress done for me in a month and a half and I actually love what she did with the hem and the straps. In the beginning, I was really unsure about the dress (it's a bridesmaid dress..need I say more?!) however, with what terry did to it...I ended up loving it!! I would definitely recommend her and if I have anymore bridesmaid dresses or evening wedding dresses...I'll go back to her as long as she's still doing business.

I was looking for somewhere to have a pair of pants altered and May's was the first place that said they could do men's pants. I wanted to have the legs tapered slightly and the inseam moved up, they were a pair of pants I thrifted and I wanted them to fit a little slimmer. The price and turnaround were very reasonable. The quality of the work was fantastic, they fit first try without any secondary adjustments and they have held up in the few weeks since I've picked them up. Definitely recommend them!. read more

I needed a zipper on a jacket fixed, though I was prepared for it needing replacement entirely. Even paying $40 for a new zipper wouldn't have been the end of the world for me (I know leather isn't very easy to sew). They were upfront about the pricing and flexible about arranging a drop-off time. They were able to fix the zipper without even taking a seam apart! I was more than willing to part with $10 for that. Highly recommended, especially for anyone who wants to give a local family a shot. read more
