They charge insane amounts of money for very little work. Plus $100 nonrefundable down payment. No thank you.

I took a dress that was not well-altered by another seamstress. Mike's employees saw that I was…read morepretty frustrated with the whole situation and offered to expedite the work. Instead of getting the dress back the week after the Dream Cruise, I already have it back and it's 100% wedding-ready for my position as matron of honor in my brother's wedding. It's also very reasonable. Just be warned that they only take cash!

The layered prom dress for my granddaughter was ruined. It was not hemmed as directed and hem was…read morevarious lengths. Since they were not able to complete till the afternoon prior, the dress was not put on till night of prom, sadly. I went back the next day with pictures. Before I could even explain, both Mike and his wife screamed at me, waved hands in air as to strike me, and ordered me not to return. I was in shock, as I approached in a calm manner asking what they could do as far as a fair reimbursement. I did not request any amount, but I did share that the dress could never be worn again. I had hoped for return of the service $150 I would encourage you to notice the quick temper of these owners prior to giving them your item to alter. Possibly simple hems, but they did not appear experienced to handle these new formals with multiple layers, or at least was not able to properly hem this one. So sad to see a beautiful dress, with a gorgeous young lady attend her first prom and feeling awkward about her crooked hemmed formal. Pictures show gown from formal shop with even hem. Other photo with red line shows hem dragging on ground on the back and left side. Right side is correct length, but back and left falls several inches below. Horrible!

I went to see Ali after a recommendation from a friend who called him "magical." I needed magical…read more I had a gown that came in from a bridal salon for a wedding that was in 3 weeks that was so big it was laughable. It didn't fit a single part of my body. There wasn't time to send it back to get a smaller size since it took 3 months to come in. Alterations were my only hope. I called him before I came in to make sure that he did gowns and he was so sweet on the phone. He said "just come bring me the dress, honey. We'll see what we can do." I showed up in full blown panic mode because I knew this kind man had no idea how much work he had ahead of him or how much of a wreck I was. So I get there, put the dress on and come out. He was more than shocked that this was a dress that I was measured for and was custom ordered. At this point, I think he was ready to tell me that he was sorry but he couldn't help... but I was close to tears and he knew it. So he decided to go for it. Away he went with the pins. I calmed down as he was working because he was explaining what he was doing, why he was doing it and what kind of effect it would have on the dress after he did it. It was clear he had a vision for what needed to be done and he was a perfectionist. I should probably add that my dress is three different layers with the top layer being a sheer one with glitter designs that align in a specific pattern. This would have been a VERY easy dress to screw up. I came back a week later and literally could not believe what he had done. He created a new dress. There were now (very necessary) seams that did not exist before. He admitted to spending over 5 hours on the first round of alterations and cutting 6-7 inches of the dress off in all areas. Still, he wanted to do more for me and pinned again (it was impossible to get it completely done in one shot since it was such a massive alteration) and told me to come back in a week. Fast forward to today when I picked up my dress. Even today, he made a very slight alteration in the back (took 10 minutes) to keep the lining in one place. It was a minor detail that I wouldn't have noticed myself but it made a difference. This is just how much he cares about his work. The alteration wasn't cheap but he only charged me the one time at the beginning and not for any of the subsequent alterations that came after. He was worth absolutely every penny that I paid to him. I will go back to him in a heartbeat for anything in the future. I now have a dress that fits perfectly and looks like what a custom ordered dress SHOULD look like and he has a customer for life.

I've had a few items done here, including a nice navy blazer and several pairs of pants. Timely,…read moreprofessional work, and as good or better than any tailor I used on the east coast. I'll bring more stuff here when I need alterations down the line.

Halina's is very affordable and does a really nice job. My family has had two experiences with her,…read moreboth positive. She altered my sister's bridesmaid dress for a wedding last year and took it from unzippable to perfect. And recently, she altered my wedding dress....my dress was a smidge too small (translation, I looked like a sausage and I couldn't breathe) and now it fits really well; they also repaired tears in the lace, replaced lost buttons, and figured out how to work the bustle.....and while my friends have paid between $250-500 to alter their dresses, mine only cost $65! PRO's: Very affordable, friendly, and competent alterations. They seem like they can handle any sort of repair and are professional and courteous. I had a million little requests for my wedding dress and they did them all. Can work on a rush if you need it. CON's: My dress took 3 weeks and one time, when I was supposed to come in for a fitting, she had forgotten about my dress and it wasn't ready. But she stayed late to fix the mistake and met with me at 8 pm so that we could get it done....so I guess this isn't really a con.

I have used Halina for over 10 years. She has fixed things that others have ruined, altered things…read moreInto something better, and is honestly the best seamstress/tailor I've ever been to. She's watched my family grow and has become somewhat of a friend and friendly face every time I see her. She's a wonderful and honest woman but is just so Uber talented (and humble about that fact). There have been times I needed something quick (when I was pregnant and needed a pair of pants fixed, or needed a bridesmaid dress fixed quickly also due to a growing pregnancy). She's always been there for me. I might add, she's reasonably priced, too. What could be better than that?
