She not only did an amazing job with the alterations but also gave me great ideas on how to style my dresses differently--and they turned out even more beautiful than I imagined. She always delivers on time and is very open to suggestions, even last-minute ones. I would recommend her without a doubt to anyone looking for quality work and a personal touch!

The shop is not just cluttered, it is filthy. She advertises a two-day turnaround. She told me my dress would be ready in a week. The dress was ready, when promised. However, when I went to pick-up the dress, she would not let me try it on. Upon arriving home, I found that the dress was too long. Because she is a cash-only business, I could not stop payment. Expensive. Shoddy alterations. Filthy environment. Sketchy pick-up. Poor renovations. Lousy business practices.

I cannot even begin to tell you the amount of compliments I received on my wedding dress and I felt absolutely beautiful in it the whole day. When I first contacted The Sewing Shop, I had already been in contact with several other shops that were too busy to take on my requested services. My phone call was excellent with such friendly demeanor, and all three of my visits were fun and enjoyable. I had no idea my dress needed as much work as it did and they still took on the project even after I misled them saying I only needed a slight alteration. The cost of the alterations were a bit too expensive but you are paying for the quality of work and years worth of experience from this husband and wife couple! The only thing that happened with my dress was that the bustle kept breaking buttons off the back of my dress but I believe this was entirely tied to how heavy my train was and how much jumping around dancing I was doing. The bustle before some buttons snapped was perfectly placed and the perfect length for me to walk around comfortably!

I wish that Yelp allowed for 6 star reviews because Sarah would deserve it…read more I took my lace wedding dress to the 2 best rated tailors in Boston, no exaggeration, both made Best of Boston and they both were extremely disappointing. I frantically emailed Sarah 4 days before my wedding because I had finally given up when the last tailor STILL after 4 fittings didn't get my train correct. Sarah calmly took my dress and made it beautiful. She fixed everything and redid much of the work that was sloppily done from before. I swear that it looked like a different more beautiful dress once Sarah had it for 48 hours. I recommend any bride getting married between Boston and Portland, ME to come to Sarah if you want your dress to be in the best hands.

She COMPLETELY deconstructed my dress and rebuilt it (there wasn't one piece of that dress that wasn't reworked!) over a matter of two months. Her talent is simply amazing, not to mention she is also very personable and a joy to work with. Oh, and her prices were extremely reasonable, which was a real plus for a bride on a budget! She has a cute little shop in the time and temp building (she talked about moving, so definitely give her a call to confirm where she's at)... I highly recommend Sarah for any of your tailoring and alterations needs!

The service there is amazing, to say the least, However, you may have to wait a bit to get served unfortunately nature of the beast. They do some hemming and tailoring. Nothing to the extreme. If you want a fully tailored suit then maybe it is not the place for you. They do rent suits here for the customer's convenience which is great. The shirt collection is very casual for the most part along with the dress shoes. Mostly standard store layout registrars upfront rentals to the left and fitting rooms to the far back end. I was helped by a gentleman named Michel who was very quick and informative. Awesome skill and great temperament could not be happier with his help and suggestions. If you want a hemmed-up suit try to give them a week or so before your event at the earliest as it can be a busy season. There is located in a central area of south portland and very easy to get to and find parking which is a huge plus.

One person was with a customer, but two others were at the register chatting. We went over to the suits and looked for about 15 minutes, hoping someone would come over to assist us. Nope. In the Newington store, we were always greeted upon entering and, if nobody was available to help us, told that they'd be with us as soon as possible. We're an older couple, and were dressed in nice clothes - not like we looked indigent or something. They lost a potential sale of several hundred dollars. We won't be back.
