I had to get my wedding dress altered in a very short and limited time! It had a lot of beadwork and I was worried about giving it to the wrong hands! I got my dress back within a week in perfect fit and condition!!! She did an amazing job! I will say that she called me and asked an extra day for it but I didn't mind since I had given such a short time to begin with! Highly recommend Precise Alterations. read more

I cannot say enough about the quality of the dress Yong produced. My daughter brought a drawing of what she wanted and Yong made it exactly what she was looking for. It was amazing!! I can't say enough about the service and quality. Yong is absolutely the best!! read more

Do not use this business! She will not complete the alterations on time! Owner/seamstress gave the bride a pick up date, then changed it to 5 days later, then we arrive to pick up gown and it's still not done! She tells us to return 3 days later and I tell her it must be completed that day. She promises to finish the job, but we return at agreed upon time and gown is still not done! We had another place finish the alterations. Horrible way to treat a customer and it was are expensive! read more

I purchased a wedding dress and was referred here for alterations. My wedding date was 09/15/24. I made my first appointment on July 13th for measurements, pinning, and left my dress here for alteration with a scheduled pick up date and time of August 30th at 3pm that I watched her write on her schedule. I had not received any call that alteration was delayed or anything like that so I loaded up my family and bridal party on the 30th and headed to the shop to pick up my dress. (I beat myself up for not calling first, but I had an appointment and thought someone would reach out if more time was needed) When I arrived there on August 30th my dress had not been touched. Remaining calm and open to the excuses the owner had we then made a second appointment for pick up on 09/07. On 09/06 the owner called me and said I needed to try the dress on one more time for her to alter the shoulders correctly. When I arrived on 09/07 to try on again the bodice had been worked on but the dress was not hemmed yet. We then scheduled my final pick up for 09/10 at 1:00p but she called on 09/09 to extend the time into the later afternoon. At 3:30pm on 09/10 I finally went to pick it up, we had to fix a couple of things at this time, but I was not leaving without my dress at this point. She fixed the issues to my liking and I was able to leave with my dress this day. However, some of the stitch working and the bottom cuts on my dress were sloppily done and uneven. I understand lace is very hard to work with so I did not say anything at the time, but my mother did notice on wedding day. Overall, I'm grateful for a dress that fit correctly and was completed in time for wedding day. But I would not recommend as all this did was cause me stress. The owner was nice throughout my time here and even offered me a discount for the inconvenience but better time management and communication on their part would go a long way here. My original quote for my alterations was $600. Owner offered $200 discount for her mistake. I had $350 in cash that day and offered to pay with my card for the full $400 amount but owner insisted on taking cash and took the $350. Look at all other reviews Yelp and Google, owner takes on too much work and cannot time manage and provides zero communication about it. I remained calm in my original review on Google. But since posting this review I have received multiple calls and voicemails were left by the owner stating disrespectful, threatening, nasty things. I have saved all of these messages. She cannot take criticism or tips on how to help her business or manage her time. Unprofessional and not necessary at all. Will be reporting voicemails and sending to all necessary parties. read more

I needed to have a very dressy long skirt altered for my Granddaughter's wedding the end of March. I was unable to bring the garment in until about 10 days before the wedding. Yong is unbelievable! Not only was she able to do it in time for me to pick it up 5 days before the wedding (and I know she is extremely busy), but she also said it was such a small job that she didn't want to charge me. As much as I insisted that I wanted to pay her, she was just as insistent that she didn't want to take any money. SO SHE DID THE ALTERATIONS FOR FREE! Who does that these days? And she did a perfect job. Yong is a very kind, trustworthy, and talented woman. I would recommend her to anyone. read more

A friend referred me to Precise Alterations after she had her wedding dress altered, and I couldn't be happier that she did. Yong was very kind and the alterations she did on my wedding dress were perfect. She made the dress absolutely beautiful. I couldn't be happier with her alterations. read more

I brought my daughter's wedding gown to Yong after a bad experience with an arrogant tailor shop owner in Charlotte. Two different neighbors highly recommended her work. The gown required significant shortening, made more complex because the hem was lace. The gown would have to be shortened and then the lace carefully reapplied to keep the original look. It also needed a few other minor alterations and to be bustled. Yong was easy to work with. She knew just what had to be done and how to do it. She obviously took great pride in her work. Her charges were very reasonable, and the gown turned out perfect. I would highly recommend her for all kinds of alteration needs. read more

Young was incredible! I got my bridesmaid alterations done here and she did an amazing job. She was so sweet and gave me flexibility with when to pick it up. I really recommend coming here if you need your bridesmaid dress done!! Thank you so much Young! I cant wait to wear the dress! read more

This place is amazing! She finished my prom dress in minimal time and made it fit my body perfectly. I will definitely be coming back any time I need any alterations! read more

Do not use this business for your alterations. I brought my mother of the bride dress into Yong Bullard, the owner of Precise Alterations on August 23rd, pick up was scheduled for September 30th. She called me saying she would be delayed a few days and to come on October 4th for another fitting, dress had hardly been touched. She promised it would be done for my daughters wedding October 16th. I came back October 13th to pick up my dress, it was destroyed. Holes in the back and floor length dress was hemmed too short. I took it to another recommended seamstress who told me it was not repairable, 3 days before wedding. If you don't want your dress completely destroyed I would suggest not going to this seamstress. read more

Yong is awesome! She tailored several pairs of jeans, new buttons on shorts, and some patch work all for a very reasonable price. Takes about 1-3 days to finish which is awesome! Keep up the great work -Justin read more

I was quite surprised to see so many stars next to this business. A few years ago I brought many items to be tailored. I had a vacation coming up and needed them on time. I was very clear about that. My clothes were not ready on the day I was told to come. I came back and all but one dress was completed. I did not get my favorite one until after I came home. Being new to the area and really believing the owner and her tale of woe, I decided that I would give them another try. After all it was wedding season and I knew they had a lot of work. In the fall I brought more tailoring. The same thing happened, but it took a ridiculous amount of time to get my clothing back. At one point she swore on the Blessed Virgin ((I am not religious) that the next time I came to get my clothes they would be ready. They were not and I was in disbelief. The owner is a talented liar and I am enormously stupid for giving that second chance read more

Yong is absolutely amazing. I was nervous about finding a seamstress to take in my wedding dress (I dropped two sizes) because of cost and the bead intricacy. The dress turned out perfect, the cost was way less than expected, and she did this amazing thing with my bustle that I never would have thought of myself. I liked her so much, my mother, two of my bridesmaids and my groom went to her. Everyone loved their experience. If you are looking--in 100% recommend Precise Alterations. You won't be disappointed. read more

I have been going to Yong for many years and she never disappoints with her beautiful work! She has done many prom dresses and a wedding dress for my daughter, mother of the bride dress for me. She is also a genuinely sweet and good person! I would highly recommend Yong read more

I think the owner has too much business and isn't managing time expectations very well. She does an excellent job -- her work is very, very good -- but rarely are items ready when she says they will be. I don't mind delays, if there's communication. She had me come back five times before I finally said enough and brought my unfinished items to another business. She had my phone number and didn't take the time to call me once. Taking my business elsewhere. read more

So let me explain the two star rating. Yong is super nice and eager to please, but she has a habit of "biting off more than she can chew." That is, she doesn't know how to say no, which often translates into items not being ready on time, and items coming back deformed/sloppy when she rushes and/or steps out of her comfort zone. While she has altered many things adequately for my husband and I, she has also royally messed items up. Evidence A: My wedding dress. I asked for what I thought was an easy alteration, and she did it, only not well at all. The back of my dress looked terrible (ugly and cheap looking) and I paid several hundred dollars to have it done. Rather than bring it back to have her attempt to fix it, I took it somewhere else and paid several hundred more. Imagine the stress of the ordeal. First discovering the terrible job, wondering if it could be fixed, finding somewhere to fix it with little time before the wedding, and then waiting to see how the correction turned out. Not something a bride to be should have to deal with on top of planning a wedding. Evidence B: When rushed, she is much sloppier with simple alterations. For example, hemming pants and taking in male dress shirts at the side. One time, the pants (fabric) were uneven at the bottom (not straight; wavy) and the stitched hemline was not even close to straight (also wavy). Moreover, she used the wrong color thread the first time through, and just went over it with more thread instead of redoing it, which pulled the fabric so it looked screwy. This is inexcusable. The stitching inside the shirts also comes back sloppy and wavy at times. Yes, there have been many times that she has altered our clothing well, but there have also been several times that she has screwed it up. Add to that, the strong possibility that clothing will not be finished at the agreed upon date. She means well and is very nice. Prices are reasonable for simple alterations, but it always comes with a risk, and a deformed piece of clothing can't often be fixed. I also get the sense her husband pressures her to work as hard as she does. I saw he bullied another reviewer, but don't be fooled. Sometimes she does great work, but sometimes she does not. For me, it comes down to execution and consistency. ADVICE: Learn to say no and give reasonable dates to return items. Do not overwork yourself so that you have to rush, because the end result is sloppiness. read more

Yong is amazing, does phenomenal work, and is affordable. Occasionally, she will not have an item done by an agreed upon date, but she typically calls to discuss it, and she ALWAYS has had stuff done if I state the urgent/important nature. For example, my sisters wedding was coming up, and I needed the whole suit adjusted. I stated that I needed it done by a specific date because I was leaving town, and she had it done. With other items, there is less urgency, and she always has my alterations completed in less than two weeks, typically sooner. I have gone back again and again. I have had shirts taken in at sides, darts put in the back, sleeves slimmed, pants hemmed, jeans hemmed, dress pant legs tapered, suit jackets taken in, waist taken in and out. My fianceé is also having her wedding dress alterations done here because I trust her so much. AMAZING! read more

Yong did an amazing job ! highly recommended !!

We dropped off a pair of tuxedo pants in April for repair. It is now the end of June. The woman kept telling us she was "busy" with Prom etc etc. She has promised multiple times to deliver us the repaired pant. I called today and she said she did not know what I was talking abouT. My husband and I went today after calling her. She recognized us and said to "trust her" and when her husband came she would deliver the pants tonight. IT IS 7:00 and she never showed up. DO NOT GO HERE. I need to just get my husband's tux pants and find a legitimate tailor. THIS IS A TWO MONTH HEADACHE. read more

This place is horrible- I've left work twice to try to pick up my dress- she wasn't there and closed down. Then she called me to tell me it was ready and she was back. I arrived and she handed me the wrong dress. Then she couldn't find the dress- we finally found it and realized she hadn't even worked on it yet! I wouldn't leave until she completed the work. So ridiculous- do not go here unless you have nothing else going on but to chase after this woman. The place is shady!!! I give this zero stars. read more

Wow! Don't forget here!! She told me two weeks to fix my sons suit, my daughters flower girl dress and my bridesmaid dress for my sisters wedding. She kept calling me saying prom was keeping her busy and she needed more time. Then she said she was not feeling well. She hurt her knee. After three times of rescheduling she told me to come get it around 12, at least 2 weeks after she promised.. Then she called me and told me later, then later, then later...she finally brought it to my house @ 11pm. She refunded some of my money but it did not change the fact that It was horrible. Messy and obviously done quickly and so sloppy. I had to take my dress and my daughters dress into another alterations place who said it was the worst work they had ever seen. Luckily they were able to fix it. Unlimited Dry Cleaning saved me and please save yourself and do not go here!! Then she called me after I wrote a review on Google and offered me a full refund if I would take the review down. I really could not believe it! After I added that info to the review she has now called me again and again yelling at me telling me to take down the review. She wrote a response which is a complete lie. Saying I bought my dresses at a consignment store and they smelt so bad she couldn't work on them??? Then she said I made hateful comments against her because she is a minority??? All lies. I honestly just wrote this because I would not want anyone to go through this and she left me in a very hard spot days before my sisters wedding. I am simply amazed by the unprofessionalism. read more

this women is such a kind lady and she made my prom dress fit perfectly. 10/10 recommend anyone coming here!

7/14/15 I took my wedding dress in intially for some alterations including adding a bustle, shortening, taking in the chest, taking out in the hips, and fixing some the ruching on the front of my dress. The first day I went in I was with my mother and my sister, we explained that all the above needed fix and she assured us that everything would work out great, it was all normal wedding dress fixes. I went in for my second fitting and brought my two sister in laws and their bridesmaid dresses which both needed taken in. During the second fitting I realized that the rouching hadn't been changed at all, so I told her again I would like her to fix it. Once again she said "oh no problem, it will look beautiful, I can do it." She told me to come back the next week to pick all the dresses up. She called me the morning of the day I was supposed to pick all the dresses up and said she wasn't finished, she said I just need a few more days. We re-scheduled the pick up for the next Monday, she again called and said she wasn't finished and needed a few more days. We re-scheduled for Friday that week, she AGAIN called and said this was the last re-schedule and I would be able to pick my dress up Monday 7/13/15. On Monday I go in to try on the dress and and the rouching wasn't rixed, so I asked her why she hadn't done anything to it. Her explation was that it was too dificult and that she wasn't able to fix it, and that she didn't even think anything was wrong with it, that it was supposed to be that way? This directly conflicts with what she told me every other time I was there, the biggest issue I have is that she over promised. If she couldn't do it she should have told me that the first day, or even the second fitting, or the on one of the three-four phone calls when she re-scheduled. Bear in mind that because she put me off for so long it is now less than two week until the wedding and i'm going to have to find another seamstress to try to adjust the rouching. read more

Last year I dropped off my daughters prom dress 4 weeks before her prom. When I went to pick the dress up on the date she told me it would be ready, Yong said it was not ready yet that someone else in the area who did alterations was sick and unable to complete her clients prom dresses so she was taking her customers. That would not have been a problem if I would have gotten my dress back in a reasonable fashion, however she kept putting me off making excuse after excuse. She dropped my daughters dress off the day before her prom and the job was absolutely horrible. I recently took it to a consignment store and the lady asked me if I did the alterations myself! Frankly, I think I could have done a better job. read more

Came to the shop to alter a dress. She kept it five days. Unfortunately, this lady lacks sewing skills. One sleeve was longer than the other. Every seam she made was crooked and visible. Then when I pointed out the mistakes that she made, she started yelling at me. She was very concerned about keeping her $100 fee, and would not even think about fixing the problem. Obviously, she has had unsatisfied customers before. Please do not go to this store. read more

I called to see if they could make a tie and pocket square out of my daughter's prom dress material for her date, and they assured me they would. Once the promised completion date had arrived, she kept calling to say she was behind. It was not ready until the Friday night before the prom. The tie was of such poor quality, her date cannot wear it, and it is now too late to get one from the tuxedo rental place. The stitching is crooked, with part of it machine stitched, and part of it hand-stitched. Some of the stitching was done with a different color thread and shows, and looks like a first grader was learning to sew, as it is not even straight. One side of the point at the bottom of the tie is 2", with the corresponding side only 1.5." And the small end of the tie doesn't even come to a point but is sloppily GLUED down with no shape at all. In addition, the pocket square isn't square, but looks like she just cut a scrap of material out in whatever shape her scissors landed and then hemmed it. I can't imagine what would have happened if we had let her alter the $500 prom dress, and not been able to pick it up until the night before the prom. Very scary. We will never be back. read more
