I found Olena on Yelp and she was able to squeeze me in the very next day - Godsent! She gave great professional advice about my zipper situation and was able to work her magic and change an off track zipper into a paneled corset backed dress. It made the dress so much more comfortable and I received so many complements at the event! She's timely, a Sewing Fairy Godmother, and will have your wedding or formal dress looking amazing. Thank you, Olena!

My daughter found her homecoming dress in a secondhand shop. It was beautiful, but it was also…read moreabout five sizes too big for her. With less than a week to homecoming, I knew the chances of having it altered would be slim. Fortunately, I found Ninh Alterations. We are able to make an appointment with only a week before the dance and we had a perfectly altered dress back by Tuesday. Their work was fantastic. The dress fit my daughter perfectly and looked brand new. Alterations are expensive, but the price is completely worth it compared to buying a brand new dress that would not have fit her so well. Everyone at the shop was nice and pleasant to work with I will definitely go back for any further alterations I need in the future.

Also reworked a blouse that she had fallen in love with but the sleeves were too long and wide. They were tapered perfectly and shortened to 3/4 length per my mother's instruction. The amazing thing is that my mother couldn't get to the shop for a fitting, so I pinned up one leg of the pants to the right length and took along another shirt that had the sleeve style she wanted and that fit her well. They were able to do the rest. And while they were at it, they also re-sewed the hem on the shirt that I took in for comparison. A little pricey but an absolutely professional job with beautiful stitching.

My very…read moreexpensive queen size comforter was destroyed back in April when I had it cleaned with Sheldon's and I have given them every opportunity to remedy the situation. I have spoken to the owner, who has assured me it is a manufacturing defect, when I know it is not. I previously had it professionally cleaned several times at a different dry cleaners and it was always returned to me in top-notch shape, but Sheldon Cleaners obviously dried it on way too hot of a setting, and now the filling is completely shrunk. Unfortunately, given the utter lack of response, I have no choice but to take my business elsewhere. Beware, of Sheldon Cleaners, they will not take responsibility if they destroy your items.
