    Garment/Dress Alteration
    Angelina P.

    Great service and trusted quality. I had a dilemma with this dress I loved very much. I gave Mei Li a little under 2 weeks to accomplish the big task of adding some inches this gown that would not budge! I am so grateful. I was able to wear the dress I loved but was able to do so comfortably. True professional. Communicated quickly and efficiently to let me know when it was time for the second fitting and left no room for questions with the price. So happy with the outcome! Highly recommend

    Mei Ling is awesome! She is my go-to whenever I need something altered for any outfit. She has done everything for me, from formal gowns to cocktail dresses, and even did my jumpsuit for my wedding reception! It's always easy to contact Mei Ling whenever I have an event coming up, and she works super fast as well. Would highly recommend.

    I couldn't recommend Mei enough - I am forever grateful to her. After some snafus with my original wedding dress plan, I brought her plan B less than a month before my wedding. She was extraordinarily kind and clear, telling me exactly what was feasible and how much I could expect for each alteration I was considering. She offered several alternatives to help reduce turnaround time and cost, too. In record time, Mei transformed a bag of a dress into exactly what I was looking for. She is truly a miracle worker! Not only did she make my vision a reality, she was incredibly calm and confident throughout the process - her ease meant so much to me during an otherwise extremely stressful time. I'll absolutely be going back to her for any and all alterations (with plenty of notice)!

    What a great tailor! I had some dog hats that needed ear holes and Perfect Alterations did an amazing job doing work that would be unique. The project was finished ahead of schedule and they worked with me to bring my vision to life. Highly recommend them for any of your alteration needs.

    We took my daughter's prom dress to be altered and knew we had only a week turnaround time due to a spring break trip. Mei Ling was very nice and welcoming. She said it was good we came before the prom season rush of people. We dropped the dress on Friday afternoon about 3:45 pm and she had it done by 11:00 am on Sunday! The dress had a little train and she made it look perfect. In the rush of picture taking I forgot to get one of the train but it was perfect! Thank you Mei Ling she looked gorgeous!

    Dance  Pants

    I was looking for a repair of my medical device and I called several places and could not find anyone who could repair my headband on my medical magnifiers until I called perfect alteration. She did a really good job as I indicated in the pictures before and after. The material on the repaired headband is much more comfortable than the original. She saved me a lot of money instead of buying a new one. Highly recommended.

    I found this tailor while searching desperately for a tailor to take in my prom dress last minute. I called and was able to come in the same day. All other alteration places I called said it would take two weeks. Mei Ling was kind and communicative, and most importantly, had my dress finished the very next day and right in time for prom! The alteration was taking in the bodice of my gown, which was 6 inches too large!! Overall, I'm just happy that my dress came out looking as good as new and fitting perfectly.

    MeiLing is amazing! I was scrambling to find someone to alter my wedding dress along with majority of my bridesmaids dresses and I'm so thankful I found her. She is professional, friendly and talented. She helped me fix a button and the neckline on my wedding dress along with shortening it. She also helped with my bridesmaids dresses to adjust the slit length and shorten as well. I cannot recommend her enough and I'm so thankful for her talent.

    See all

Their alteration work is very good for what I needed. The price is reasonable and fair to my budget. Her son did all of the communication and measurements and helped me to make the best decisions regarding my suit (shirt, coat & pants). The final product was very clean and I received a lot of compliments during and after my daughter's wedding. I highly recommend Golden Thread Alterations to anyone who needs alteration work (for weddings, senior ball, celebrations, etc.).

The front desk man/receptionist was polite, helpful, and charming. 2. There were several women, presumably seamstresses, who I smiled at who simply looked through me as if I didn't exist. 3. The price for hemming a semi full-skirted dress was $60 which is more than the dress cost. 4. When I balked at $60, one of these women spoke in a foreign language (Vietnamese?) and the man relayed to me they could do it for $50. I shook my head, smiled, and said, No, thank you. 5. The man then said that $45 was the lowest they could go. I had NO interest in bartering for the best price. I said no again, and prepared to leave. The woman, who never glanced at me once, shrugged and walked away. Her body language made it clear she couldn't care less. 6. Which is, of course, fine. They have no need of my business. After looking at their website, they obviously are high end alterations aimed at an Asian audience. Which is fine. Just be aware that if you aren't Asian and don't have a high-end job for them, you will be treated dismissively by the seamstresses. Their website claims they are a third generation business, yet only the man speaks English, supposedly. To top off my review, I would like to add that I do NOT want to be told one price, then have that price lowered twice when I am ready to walk away. Set a FAIR price and stick to it. I will either pay it or walk away, no harm, no foul. Instead, I am left feeling like I would have been a fool if I had accepted the first price they quoted. This is not a market stall in a country where bartering is the norm. I will not return to this business and I will not recommend it to friends. ‍

From the very beginning, he was super upfront, honest, and transparent about everything, which I really appreciated. Wedding planning can already feel overwhelming, so having someone I could fully trust made such a difference. You can tell right away that he's incredibly skilled and truly knows what he's doing -- the fit turned out absolutely perfect. One thing I especially loved was how helpful he was with my bustle. I had no idea what direction to go in, and he took the time to walk me through different options and explain what would work best. His recommendation ended up being exactly what I needed -- both practical and beautiful. Beyond the actual work, his support throughout the whole process honestly took a huge weight off my shoulders. I always felt taken care of and knew I was in good hands. So so grateful I found him -- thank you again, Mo!

From the very first fitting, it was clear how meticulous and detail-oriented he is. Whether it was a simple hem or more complex work, he treated every piece with incredible care. What truly amazed me was the alterations he did on my wedding reception dress. After I lost some weight, the entire dress needed to be restructured. Mo carefully took it apart and put it back together so it would fit my new measurements perfectly. The result was flawless! It looked and felt like the dress had been custom-made for me. Mo is patient, attentive, and great at addressing all of your concerns. He takes the time to listen, explain what he's doing, and make sure you feel comfortable with the plan. He truly cares about his craft and takes pride in delivering beautiful results. If you're looking for someone you can trust with your most important pieces, especially something as meaningful as a wedding dress, Mo is your person. I highly recommend him for all alterations!
