Sarah Brown Original - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Norfolk, Virginia

Sarah got me looking incredible for my wedding day. She even managed to work with my filipiniana sleeves because they would not sit on my shoulders right. She never worked with my kind of sleeves before but she found a way and they fit perfectly for my wedding day. Sarah and her assistant are extremely sweet, professional, and extremely transparent about the changes they do and what they are charging you for. Book with them! I swear you won't regret it! read more

I was part of a beauty pageant. I needed Sarah to hem a lot. I needed my gown hemmed, a cape sewn on to a costume, and a few pantsuits hemmed. Everything was PERFECT! I HIGHLY recommend Sarah whether it's for hemming or to make a dress for you. Yes, she makes dresses. She didn't make anything I'm wearing but she sure enhanced it. Thank you so much Sarah you will see me again. read more

She is amazing! I had a vision of a gown for a special event and she is creating it for me! I will post a picture from the event next month.

I have been going to Sarah for 5 years now; She is lovely, incredibly talented, fair, and thorough. I am always well satisfied with the work she does (I have gone to her for anything from tailoring a bridesmaids dress to shortening bathing suit straps). Could not recommend her enough! read more

Sarah is so talented. I took my wedding dress in at the last moment and she effortlessly altered it and had it ready for my big day. I can't say enough about her work but what I really appreciate is her professionalism. She made me feel so special. I'm definitely using her going forward! read more

Sarah Brown Original - Gown - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Norfolk, Virginia

Sarah Brown Original saved the day for me. When my bridesmaid dress did not fit, I was heartbroken. Sarah, however, eased my mind and was able to work magic. She is incredible to work with, kind, caring, and honest. She made sure the dress was done in a timely manner. And it was perfect! While all the other bridesmaids struggled to get their dresses zipped, I was able to do mine with ease. It also kept me warm during the surprisingly 30 degree spring day in New Jersey. I felt so comfortable and confident with Sarah. I will recommend her to all my friends and family. Please don't hesitate and let Sarah Brown work her magic. read more

Saved a wedding dress in just a week where another tailor failed! 10\10 will go back.

Terrible experience all the way around. I googled top seamstress in tidewater and Sarah Brown's name came up but I found her to be difficult to work with and my dress is still not altered for a wedding next Saturday the 19th of October. read more

Friendly and professional Sara Brown was a comfortable experience. I just needed a jacket's sleeve taken up; simple job, reasonable pick up lag, and reasonably priced. read more

Sarah completed a few minor alterations to my wedding dress to make it fit just right; as well as add a French bustle for the reception, and fix up the veil piece to make it wearable. She did such a great job and was so professional and pleasant to work with, I had my bridesmaid being her her dress to get hemmed as well. Very timely and efficient service! read more

I needed a last minute alteration for my daughter's ring dance dress and Ms Brown worked her magic for us. Her work is beautiful and she was a delight to work with. I will definitely come back if I need alterations again. She even offered to make my daughter's prom dress next year! read more

Working with Sarah Brown was an amazing experience. I hadn't had a dress altered in Norfolk before and I needed a bridesmaid dress altered with only a few weeks before I was moving out of state. Sarah worked with my timeline and made the alterations in time for me to get my dress a couple days before moving. When the try-on wasn't exactly perfect on my body, Sarah made quick work and fixed it for me that same day so I wouldn't have to worry about it! Her pricing was very reasonable and she is a very sweet lady. I couldn't be happier with the work that she did on my dress for my best friend's wedding. Highly recommend! read more

Classy. Professional. Detailed. Creative. Just a few of many words to describe Ms. Sarah! She worked diligently on my ball gown style wedding dress...a wedding dress, mind you, that has many layers to navigate through to be hemmed and needed a built in corset versus the original zipper. Add on a beautiful bustle to the mix and the dress was transformed. It is clear that Ms. Sarah is a master of her craft AND enjoys what she does. You will simply not find anyone else to do such detailed work at a beyond reasonable price! read more

Went to Sarah with my wedding dress! Needed the dress hemmed and added a bustle. She did a great job and it only took about 3 weeks.

Sarah is amazing!!! So so sweet, very responsive and does a fabulous job! I can't recommend her enough & she is very well priced. Truly delivers the "art" that is almost lost, a very talented seamstress!! read more

My first time seeking out a tailor using Yelp led me Mrs Sarah Brown. I sent out messages to a few businesses on a Sunday to receive a quote for zipper replacement on an outfit actually worth saving. I didn't expect any responses until at least Monday (business hours), but Mrs Brown responded rather quickly. I received a quote, we scheduled an appointment for the upcoming Tuesday. During the appointment Mrs Brown asked if I had a preferred time to have my outfit back, I said the weekend, but there was truly no rush. We scheduled pickup for a week out on the following Tuesday, but she said she'd let me know if she got it done sooner. I was very excited to receive a text message letting me know it was ready on Friday and I could pick up that afternoon. Very happy with the results of the zipper replacement. I will be returning in the near future with a couple other pieces that need repairing. Highly recommend Mrs Brown :) read more

Sarah Brown did a wonderful job making my Mother of the Groom outfit. I had been looking for a long time for a pretty but comfortable dressy pants and top. I found a picture on line that was just what I was looking for but I knew I didn't have the skills to make it myself. I found Sarah on Yelp and sent her a picture. She replied promptly that she could make it. We met and talked about what I was looking for. She was very professional and clear about both the design ideas and the business transaction. She gave me great recommendations for fabric and for where to get the best help selecting it. Sarah made a muslin sample for me to try and made adjustments before working with the fabric. We did 2 fittings. Her work is beautiful. She has great attention to detail. Such good work takes time so make sure you plan ahead. Her prices were in line with what an outfit would run if purchased in a nice department store. Worth it to have something distinctly mine--and with with pants pockets! read more

She is amazing. Professional, talented and a joy to work with. Her skills and design abilities are phenomenal.

Her work on my jumper was excellent and to my satisfaction. It now fits perfectly She embodies professionalism, and wants to please her customers. read more

I last minute needed a dress alteration as a bridesmaid. I was sent something that looked more or less like a potato sack with no shape. Sarah took it apart, took my measurements, and made it into what the picture advertised it to look like! It is stunning and I'm excited to wear it - she was amazing to work with! read more
