For many many years, this company has produced exquisite results. They are very buttoned up, timely, and true masters of their craft. The quality of their work is outstanding, the value is very reasonable and they work pretty fast! I highly recommend. read more

This is a fantastic business! The owner was extremely accommodating. I needed my suit tailored for my wedding and she did it promptly at a reasonable price! When I came in to pick it up the week of my wedding we realized I would need my shirt tailored and she had it done within a couple days and on time for my wedding! Can't recommend this place enough!! read more

I've had Nancy as my tailor for 14 years! She has tailored every article of clothing you can possibly imagine for me (blazers, pants, formal dresses, cheap dresses, button-up shirts, denim clothing, kid's clothing, sequined clothing, etc.), and I have never been disappointed. I cannot recommend her enough! read more

Did a beautiful job taking a few inches off of my floor length chiffon dress. Was patient in helping me decide how much to cut off to make it easy for me to walk without tripping but also still appear long enough to be elegant. Paid $60 up front and had the dress ready in 1 month at the time I was promised. Called a few other local tailors who quoted higher prices. Would go back again for further tailoring jobs! read more

Perfect Alterations saved me. I had several outfits sent from India to attend a destination wedding. They didn't fit AT ALL. These were not minor issues, the pants/top/dress were made for someone probably 50 to 60 lbs larger than me. Not only did the seamstress get everything done in 10 days (1 dress, pants, two tops) she essentially had to take apart and remake the dress and the pants. They fit like they were custom made (I guess because by that time they were!) Amazing, amazing service. Will always go here in the future. read more

was told it would be over a week to sew a simple stitch around a piece of fabric for a book shelf covering. when i returned on the day my item was promised, she hadn't started it. claimed she didn't know which measurement was length or width (after we went over it at least 5 times when i dropped off). i asked why she didn't just call and ask, and they claimed they didn't want to bother me? what Bothered me was i needed my item for thay date and it wasn't ready. Needless to say i won't be going back. read more

First time to have my wedding dress possibly altered however did not go as planned. Lady told me she couldn't do anything with it and if she tried to it wouldn't work because the dress was "too big" I never felt so disappointed. Would never go back nor would never recommend to anyone. Waste of my time. She tried to blame the dress designer on the style and design of the dress. Terrible experience read more

altered my dress perfectly and even found holes in it that i didn't notice when buying. very professional and did exactly what i needed. will absolutely go back here read more

The title of this place is very suiting, because they make PERFECT alterations. I'm getting married soon and I took my bridal lehenga here to be altered and they worked magic on it! Before it barely stayed on my body and now it's a perfect fit. I will definitely be recommending everyone to come here!! read more

My fiancé and I decided to get married in a short period due to family circumstances and COVID-19. I brought my cocktail length wedding dress to Perfect Alterations with only about 2 weeks before our ceremony. They did a great job and the work was done in the timeframe promised. read more

Rude! I came in with a bridesmaid dress and I wasn't able to fit and had to get taken out. She was very up front about potentially not being able to to take out what I needed. Which I appreciated. She also on more than one occasion mentioned that I should "run" to loose weight and fit the dress already being body conscious as I just had a baby but still wanted to be apart of my best friend's wedding I just took the brow beating and quickly got out of there. When I picked up the dress, I didn't even want to try it on. So embarrassed I just grabbed the dress, and practically ran out (I'd paid cash for the dress already at her request). I ended up going BACK to tell her how embarrassed I was when she told me to "run". She was apologetic but also you just shouldn't say this to folks - as a seamstress you can or you can't and folks understand that. I've shared this story with many folks... read more

We took my daughter's prom dress here to be altered. We found the dress late and had to have a quick turn around for alterations. We came in there were very nice and efficient. They were able to get the alterations completed within a week for a fair price. We will be heading here for future alterations. read more

The thought of letting someone take scissors to your wedding dress is terrifying. So when it was time to have some minor alterations completed on my dress, I took finding a great seamstress seriously. After reading solid Yelp reviews, I decided to take my dress the Perfect Alterations. She did a wonderful job on my dress and delivered it on time. The alterations (I had some length taken off the bottom and added a bustle) were pricey, but the peace of mind made it worth it. A few notes: - A good seamstress is also a busy seamstress. Every time I was in the shop, several people came in with drop offs and pick ups, and the shop owner does her best to multitask. If you expect a one-on-one experience during your appointment, this may not be the place for you. - Bring cash! She does except cards, but cash is the preferred form of payment. read more

Terribly rude customer service. If you take your clothes here be aware that you pay in full right when you drop it off, and they won't tell you a pick up date until after you've paid (so It might not fit your schedule depending on when you need it). I was talked down to as if I was a child asking for cookies and I really just needed my wedding dress altered. I was being completely nice and understanding, but they treated me like I was the biggest inconvenience to their business just by walking in. read more

Been here a couple times and had some simple hems done to my pants. They did a good job and the price was right. Usually there's a couple of women working, but when there's more than 3 customers inside, the wait can be little while. My parents like them because they have someone to speak Vietnamese with, haha. read more

I ordered a jumpsuit on line that came in about 2 sizes to big . I needed it in 2 weeks so, after a friend recommended this place, I came in. She literally had to take in the entire thing. (Including taking out the zipper and putting it back in) I picked up on the day she said it would be ready and it was perfect! Thank you for saving me, I will be back! read more

Brought in a formal dress that was slightly complicated--required working with a zipper. David's Bridal was scheduled to do it, but I wanted to avoid them and work with someone local. At Perfect Alterations, I was told immediately they couldn't do it. No one even looked at the dress, just kicked me out the door as soon as I walked in. The woman was extremely rude. I went to C. Stefano's in Gahanna and he did it, no problem, for a great price. Should have just gone there in the first place. read more

Professional and a job well done every time. I have been taking my work clothes, dresses, etc. to Perfect Alterations for 5 years now and she never disappoints! read more

If you're looking for reasonably priced, good quality tailoring, and good service, go to Perfect Alterations. I was in town for a week or so around Christmas and needed a formal dress hemmed. I have owned this dress for several years and have been waiting to have an occasion to wear it. I finally had an event coming up this Spring, and I needed the dress hemmed. I really wanted the alterations to be perfect, and they were. The dress was the exact length I wanted. Not only that, they worked with me to get me the dress in 2-3 days since they were closing for the holidays and wouldn't be reopening until after I left town. The price was also reasonable. If I recall, I paid around $50, which is where alterations start at some places. read more

I was really nervous and apprehensive about having some alterations done to my wedding gown. Nancy was very thorough and got me in for an appointment quickly. I feel like she listened to my concerns and we collaborated together on what the best alterations would be. As soon as I arrived she had me go into one of three fitting rooms and then examined the dress and we discussed/she pinned the alterations for about 40 minutes. While i was there a lot of customers came in and I could tell they have been happy Perfect Alterations for years. I'll likely update this when I receive my dress back! read more

Stopped in to see about getting a floor-length bridesmaid dress hemmed. The woman told me that it would be very complicated to do because of the material, draping, etc. & quoted a price of $100. I didn't want to spend that much, but since I only have 2 weeks until I need to wear it, I was going to bite the bullet. She then told me I needed to pay upfront which I have never heard of before. When I told her I didn't have the money with me to pay upfront, she laughed at me like I was ridiculous for assuming I wouldn't have to pay ahead of time. I went directly to a 5-star reviewed business (which I didn't go to first because I was trying to avoid game day traffic) & he quoted me $45. Payment upon pickup. Like every other place I've ever had alterations done. read more

Nancy is a miracle worker! After purchasing my wedding dress in February, I did what every bride does and hit the gym for a little weight loss. However, I ended up losing 22lbs. Not what I had expected! I took my dress to Nancy in August for my October wedding and when she saw how big the dress was on me, she simply said "Wow! I have to take your dress in 4.5 inches!" Since she was basically making my dress 4 sizes smaller, we had to make some modifications to the original design.... I was nervous! After she got my dress all pinned up and I was heading out the door, she kinda' mothered me and said "You better not lose anymore weight!" I giggled. I went back for my dress last week and it is absolutely gorgeous! I am so pleased with how it turned out and excited because I now have a one of a kind dress since we had to make a few modifications. I can't wait to wear it this Saturday for my wedding! read more

I brought my wedding dress in a panic because I couldn't find anyone to alter my dress since I bought it out of state. The woman that works there is so sweet and was quick to help. I was a little hesitant because she only fitted me once and I picked it up very close to my wedding. However, the dress fit like a glove and I couldn't have been happier with it. The dress had multiple layers and was very complicated. She had to bring it in over six inches because I am a 00p and you couldn't tell the dress was touched at all. I can't say enough great things about Perfect Alterations. I know I will be back for any alterations I may need in the future! read more

I am a long time customer of Perfect Alterations. They do an excellent job. I am completely satisfied with the work they do. I have used the services of other alteration services in the past, but went elsewhere for various reasons, until I found this business. The alterations included shortening hems, taking in waists and sides to mention the most common jobs. Once in a while, I needed an alteration done earlier than one week and they have accommodated my request. They do ask for payment up front, but I have been pleased with their work.

This shop is amazing!! They took my lace wedding dress in from a size 12 to a size 2 and did an INCREDIBLE job! Nancy might come off a little harsh at first, but she is super skilled and super honest and I wouldn't have it any other way! I recommend this place a million percent! read more

My wedding dress alterations came out perfectly! The owner was very honest about what she could and couldn't alter on my gown I dropped my dress I believe the 09/01 and it was ready by the 26th I decided I wanted to add a sash onto my dress that took an extra two days and came out just perfect! I will be using perfect alterations for all my alteration needs!! Thank you again read more

I had a bridesmaid dress that I needed altered quickly. Nancy took my dress in with a fast turnaround time and my dress alteration was excellent. Great place! read more

Oh my gosh! Their works are always perfect! I got a job as a flight attendant and I brought some uniform to get alteration. I had to move to Philadelphia for the job and just had one day to pick them up, but they did a great job! All of the uniform fit me perfectly! Nancy (I think she's the owner) is a great person, too :-) read more

I've been here about 5 times now for pants hemming and jacket and blazer sleeve reduction and taking the back in 3 blazers. Everything has come out wonderful and fits exactly the way I wanted. The one draw back is that the lady speaks broken English and can seem short or rude at times but I think that's just the way she speaks and isn't trying to be mean. Sometimes you have to repeat what you say or gesture but that's fine. Also her daughter is almost always there so if you don't like having a 5 year old run around every now and again, you may want to pass. But from an alterations perspective, she is the best! read more

This place is truly amazing! I was planning my wedding from out of state and only tried my dress on a few times. It wasn't until the week of the wedding , when I got into town, I realized I would need to bustle my dress. In a panic on the Wednesday before the wedding I went into Perfect Alterations hoping she could squeeze me in amongst the prom dresses and other weddings this weekend. Nancy said she would be able to do it, even though it was a rush order last minute. She even steamed it for me because it was wrinkled. When I picked up my dress I almost cried tears of happiness because she was able to do this for me with such a short time window. It was done beautifully and was easy enough for me and my mom and sister to all remember how to do it. Thank you Nancy, I will recommend you to everyone! read more

I stopped by just to get familiarized with location and ask questions about scheduling etc Nancy was less than professional when she implied that I waited till the last minute for a November deadline as she pointed in the direction of work to be completed; informing me that it was for next year. Her less than Customer Service skills just lost my business! I will return to Original Alterations as I have in the past where the customer service & work is impeccable. read more

The owners were very friendly and made sure everything was finished on time and done correctly. If I had any concerns or questions, they made sure they were answered. Perfect alterations did a wonderful job on my wedding dress and I plan to return for any future alteration needs. Great place to go to! read more

I had a more difficult bridesmaid dress for a wedding I needed altered - it was a convertible dress, so it wasn't very structured and could be worn many different ways. Nancy was great about it and altered it perfectly! read more

It really says something to me that on all of the review sites I've seen, the comments have been almost nothing but positive. Normally, people won't go out of their way to give a nice review, just negative ones - so that should be a good sign! When I took my suit to Nancy(?), I needed the waist and the sleeves taken in within TWO days for a conference. Everywhere else I called quoted me astronomical prices, or said they flat out couldn't do it. When I called here, she said "Come on in, we'll see what we can do." So I did, and she said she'd have it done with time to spare in two days, and charged me a VERY reasonable price (not so little that it was shady, but not NEARLY as much as those other places). When I picked it up the day before the conference, it looked like a new jacket. She had listened to my requests, but she also knew what was feasible from her significant experience and the fabric of the suit jacket. I could not have been more relieved to have a wearable suit for this conference, and I promised her I'd review her everywhere I could - she deserves it, and it's the least I could do! I got a lot of compliments on the jacket for the fit, so thanks Nancy! It's a great place - PLEASE take my word on it :) read more

Going into this shop was a horrible experience for both my daughter and I. I had read several positive reviews and was expecting a positive encounter. Nancy was rude from the start, and she seemed angry that we had interrupted her from the shirt she was working on. My 16 year old daughter's dress was too large in the top and needed to be taken in. After making us wait despite the fact that there were no other customers and making all sorts of inappropriate comments that my daughter didn't have enough cleavage to fill out the dress while having too much hip, she yelled at us that she needed 3-6 months to do the work. She also quoted a price that was absolutely ridiculous- and more than what I had paid for the entire dress. As we were in the middle of talking about what needed to be done, a gentleman walked in to pick up his pants. She immediately went from being hostile and rude, to being sweet and accommodating. My only explanation is that the man was white, and we were not- so racism could have been a factor. All in all, it was a disaster, and we went to another tailor that was 2 blocks away and charged less than half what she quoted and had it done in a week. read more

I have not had any alterations done here but my sister gave me the names of a couple places and this was one of them, I would not take anything to them, very rude when my husband called to ask her how much to have jeans altered, she just said the price and before he could ask anything else she hung up on him, then when he called back she said you already called here. I took 4 pair of jeans to Hill's Alterations very nice and gave us a student discount on my sons jeans to have them altered and done in 3 days. read more

I have been coming here for alterations for years. I've had several dresses taken in or shortened, and recently took in a very expensive BCBG dress that had a broken zipper. The owner charged me $25 for a new zipper and it looks like new. I will agree with previous reviewers, the owner is a tiny force of nature. There are two changing rooms so you can show off your ill-fitting clothes, and then she will quickly measure and pin your clothing. She is very precise and efficient. She also advises the cheapest alterations, showing me that she wants what's best for her customers and not just what makes her the most money. She has always finished my alterations on time and has significantly take in a formal dress for me in 3 days time when I was in a rush. If you pay with cash it's usually a little cheaper and you can avoid paying tax! read more

I will for sure be coming here as long as I live in Columbus. Had a sport coat altered for a wedding 2 days later and she got it done the day after I dropped it off. The price was the cheapest I have ever had to pay at a tailor. She is all business though and I love that about most people, but I can see how some people can take her as rude. overall, I was satisfied with the service and price. read more

Brought some suits pants in to get hemmed and she noticed an elaborate internal cuff that apparently adds weight to pants without a visible outside cuff. She was apologetic that it would cost $15 instead of the normal $8 to hem. It looked complicated and I would have paid double that. Great work, nice people. read more

Not only did I have to rush my bridesmaid dress but by the time it came in there was only a week left until I had to be on a plane for the wedding in Italy. Perfect Alterations was able to complete the alterations in less than a week. I was very pleased with the service and the dress looked amazing. read more
