I was very satisfied with my service here. They have an express option which I needed. I had a bridesmaid dress from Azazie shortened and the speed and expertise was great!! Very quick and great communication. read more

Overall not a great experience with this business and they did not treat me professionally. - The tailor is decently skilled, but his limited ability to speak English created some miscommunications and confusions - The tailor brought the dress shirt in too tight around chest, which created a bulge at the buttons, and I had to return to the shop four more times before the bulge was reduced to an almost acceptable level, though not completely - The tailor is not the owner of the shop, and the owner was never present. I had a lot of difficulty trying to get in touch with her to find a good solution for my tuxedo. She ignored calls and texts for days at a time. This was after I had already paid for the work - The price of the work was on the high end, and I feel for the quality of work and experience there are tailors that charge much less - The owner gave me her word that she would reimburse me for having another tailor adjust the shoulder seam without shortening the sleeve length, which could not be done with her tailor. After bringing in the coat with amended shoulders and an invoice, she went back on her word and refused to reimburse me. She claimed the other tailor (a reputable one) didn't make the adjustment at all. Even after I was able to confirm with her tailor it was adjusted, just in a different way than he expected Pictured is the bulge that remained in my shirt after 5 trips to the shop to get it right. I would recommend spending your money and time on another tailor for a better experience. read more

Overpriced! Not upfront about pricing that was 10 times over the price of anyone else! Do not recommend

Wonderful tailor! I needed some pants taken in and to have belt loops added. They now fit perfectly! The tailor did a great job complimenting the loop fabric with the pants. I couldn't be happier. The staff is very welcoming, kind, and patient too. read more

Ali did a fantastic job repairing damaged belt loops on several pairs of my wool dress slacks. I highly recommend Mesa Alterations.

The shop has an unpleasant odor that may be absorbed by garments, which is concerning. Like many tailors, they provide an initial quote, but then add unnecessary extras without prior notification or approval. I will not be using their services. read more

My wife has some sewing skills, but we always trust Mesa Alterations for our needs. They provide excellent service at a great price, and our clothes/items are always ready on time. I highly recommend them! read more

A few years ago, this firm did a complicated adjustment on a decades old vest, so I decided to try them for a simple re-sew of a ripped pocket that had pulled apart along the seam. My experience with this simple repair was even better than before. He quoted a very fair price, and did a great job under 10 minutes while I waited. I highly recommend you check them out for your alteration and repair needs. read more

Mesa Alterations - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Austin, Texas

I've been here for three items and all have been great experiences: 1- I had a new pair of true religion jeans hemmed about 2 inches. I asked for the basic helming ($14.99) and the women used a similar color thread to make the hem look compatible with the jeans. They are absolutely perfect. I took the same pair to three other surrounding alteration places and this was the cheapest option. I believe the other places were looking at $25 and $30 prices. Picture included! 2- Took two pairs of Hollister high rise shorts in because my waist is smaller than the shorts originally intended. I had to take in the back for it to lie flat against my lower back and take in the high rise line. I came back and one pair was absolutely perfect fitting. I was originally worried I wouldn't be able to get it over my big bottom but it was fine. Picture included! 3- my second pair from above was still a little big so when I showed it to the women she simply rechalked it and said she could have it done by the weekend. Great customer service and really friendly service! She was more than happy to make sure they fit me perfectly! This service was $24 each pair of shorts. Place is clean but small. Located in a corner of a small shopping center but there are two spacious changing rooms to try on clothes and a small waiting area (2 comfy accent chairs) if you want to being a husband or boyfriend along with you. They take Visa and MasterCard but prefer cash or check. read more

I highly recommend Mesa Alterations. I had 4 fittings for my wedding gown and Mesa did an absolutely beautiful job practically re-making my gown. I bought the dress at Serendipity Bridal here in Austin and it was way too big when it came in (bad advice from the consultant on what size I should order). This gown was a huge task to take on with the amount of work it needed. The level of skill it took to work with the delicate and intricate lace was amazing. My mom ended up taking 4 of her dresses in for more minor alterations and they also turned out perfect. I plan on only using Mesa Alterations for future alterations. read more

They did what I asked of them. They patched up a couple holes in my jeans. However, I have patched my own jeans before, and done a significantly better job. They basically blotted out the whole with stitching (kinda trendy looking) and then outlined a huge square of the replacement denim patch (not trendy or becoming at all). The jeans were my favorite pair( hence the need for the patch) and they have done a royal job at making them look not so good. Not to mention, my girlfriend took her stuff in at the same time, and the quoted her about 45 bucks, and then came back with a "hand-sewing tax" and then charged us out the wazoo. Will never take my clothes back there no matter how convenient they are. read more

Highly Recommended! Amazing work and very sweet and welcoming little ladies! I needed a very chic Halston Heritage jumper altered for a wedding I will be attending in just four days! I went in Saturday and picked up Tuesday (today) very satisfied! The work is seamless! They have found a forever customer! :) read more

Mesa Alterations monogrammed all my bridesmaid presents and did an excellent job, so when the original seamstress in Dallas ruined my wedding dress one month before my wedding I went to them in a panic. They fixed the entire wedding dress for me (made a custom top, hemmed the entire lace scallop skirt, took in the skirt and made a bustle). They did all this in an extremely fast time frame and for an affordable price. The scallop lace hem was beautiful, you really can not even see where it was taken up! And the top fits really well! I am SO happy with my experience with Mesa Alterations. read more

Do not use. I needed a pair of pants hemmed and she pinned the alteration correctly then didn't hem it correctly. The pants were returned too long. The accusation is she sewed it incorrectly on purpose. She took two weeks to do a job that takes 15 minutes. I know how to see so she isn't fooling anyone. She claimed covid 19 wouldn't allow appointments to redo the hem and I should drop by to see if she's open. I take the bus so that's not possible. She didn't pick up phone when I would call and only returned my call once. She claimed it would take two weeks to correctly redo the pants. BS! She never deposited the check I wrote her and when confronted about it said she deposited it and didn't know what happened to it. Terrible customer service and total run around. Do not use! read more

I'm not exactly a frequent customer for this type of service, but I recently needed to let out a pair of suit pants. I could not have asked for a better experience. I was immediately greeted. When I told her why I was there, she said 1.5 inches. She then asked if I wanted to try on the pants. I put them on and she looked and again said 1.5 inches. A day later I picked up the pants, tried them on, and they looked great and fit perfectly. The price was very reasonable. I will definitely return if I need anything else done. read more

I took two shirts to Mesa Alterations to be brought in on the sides/made tighter. They did an amazing job on both -- cutting/seaming was cleaner and straighter than original on both shirts. I highly recommend them! read more

I've brought many alterations there - shirts, pants, jeans. All have been done to my specification, promptly and with a smile. Great work at a reasonable price. read more

Seriously works miracles! I ordered a bridesmaid dress. 7 months later and very pregnant, I need alterations 4 days before the wedding (dress came in late!). They worked with my schedule and almost had to make a me a new dress. I loved how everything came out. I felt comfortable and confident all evening long. read more

I know whenever I buy pants or jackets that my next stop will be Mesa Alterations! They do a great job customizing off-the-shelf clothing, giving me a better fit overall or just shortening pantlegs and sleeves. In two years and dozens of alterations, I've only had one small issue, and they promptly fixed it without charge. Good, friendly service. read more

I had been to Mesa Alterations a couple of times in the past to get my blue jeans hemmed, and the price was always very reasonable-- around $14. So when I needed to replace the zipper on my birthday dress, I went to them again... naturally. However, when I went to pick up my dress yesterday, the bill was $50!!!??? That was more than I paid for the dress itself. When I asked if all they did was replace the zipper, the woman answered me with a very snarky attitude, like I was an idiot for asking. Don't go there, they will up-charge you. And you will leave wishing you had just done the sewing yourself. Thanks a lot Mesa Alteryourwallet. I really loved having to skip going to the grocery store last night because I couldn't afford it. read more

$14.99 to hem a pair of denim? A basic hem at that. AND the lead time was 8 days. I came here because it is close to my house but next time I will look elsewhere. read more

I've taken some jeans in to get hemmed and the work was great. Standard pricing for Austin area, about $30 to hem 2 pairs of jeans a couple of inches. I'm really happy with them and have already taken some other pants to be hemmed. read more

So far I have had an excellent experience. I took my wedding dress there one week before my wedding for alterations. Sole was so kind, professional, knowledgeable and helpful. She made insightful suggestions about different fits, helped with advice about cleaning, and added a strap that I will be able to use or not. I am only giving 4 stars because I don't have the dress yet. I'll update my review with details on the work , etc... read more

These guys are professionals....they will go so far to please the customer. I was in such a rush trying to get my dress altered for my friend's wedding out of town...they did a rush job and the did it beautifully. Bottom line I have known them for over 15 years and they have always been professional and have done a meticulous job. Mary and her crew are sweet. read more

I have trusted Mesa to make alterations to my finer clothing for over a decade. I have advanced sewing skills myself, but I prefer to have them alter my more expensive and/or complicated projects. They have a great understanding of garment construction, fit, fabrics, etc., and I have never been displeased with their work. They are not inexpensive, but you will get what you pay for. read more

Great work!! Very sweet people and work quickly. My wedding dress turned out perfect!

I could not commend Mary and her team more for their recent rush fix of a bridesmaid dress. Mary gave me honest feedback on the alterations that could be accomplished in the time available, and priced the intricate beading work fairly. The result was beyond my expectation. They turned an inexpensive alternate dress into a dream fit. read more

This is a great place to have your alterations done. I lost a lot of weight and because of "Mesa Alterations", I now have a new wardrobe. Service is excellent and the talent that those girls have is outstanding-they know their stuff. Have something to get altered?......this is the place! read more

I called Mesa Alterations yesterday and spoke with Mary, the manager. She was very difficult to deal with but I finally convinced her, after a very lengthy dispute, that it was only right that she refund the ovecharge of $31+ change back to me. She accused me of being very unfair because I wouldn't pay more than I was quoted. She said its only right to pay for the professional service they gave me. Did I mention the shabby hem job and the cut in the dress they did so "professionally"? First time to wear one of the dresses was yesteday so I happily showed her their "professional" job on the hemline. He reply was "HMPH!" and actually put her nose in the air and turned her back on me. Yu lnow...There's no "negotiating" when you quote your customer a price, the customer agrees to that price and then you try to renig on it later and attempt to charge them more. Her employees need to be careful when quoting prices. EACH...a very important word left out here. Had the employee stated the cost differently from: "I can do both for $35" to: "I can do both for $35 EACH", Mary would not have been in this situation of refunding money back to a customer. I will definitely be looking elsewhere for alterations in the future. B E W A R E...DO NOT take anything to Mesa alterations! read more
