I just wanted to thank Eda for the superb job she did on my Pierre Cardin 3-piece suit. She altered…read morethe suit pants, and shortened the sleeves/did alterations to the suit coat as well. The removed buttons were re-sewn on the sleeves after shortening them, and the silk sleeve liners were sewn back properly. Eda is a local Norfolk seamstress that has never steered me wrong, and has always done quality work for me. I honestly wasn't sure she was up to the task of doing the big formal stuff ($800.00+ suit) with a short turn-around time but she did not disappoint. She actually has a try on room and mirrored platform (for pin ups/visual inspection) in the back of the shop that I never knew was there. Great job all the way around and for much cheaper $$ than the "designer" seamstress/alteration folks I had spoken to prior. Eda's is indeed a full-service seamstress!

The small business owner Bo is a sweet Korean lady that takes pride in her work and provides amazing service! There were a few times I had a bridesmaid dress I needed to be hemmed in a pinch and Bo made it happen. From bridesmaid dresses to simple dress pants that I need to be hemmed for my short legs, I've always had a great experience. The shop is cute with string lights in the front. There is a dressing room in the back to try on clothes and a platform with a trifold mirror for Bo to discuss measurements. If you're looking for a new tailor, Bo is your lady!

Long story short, save yourself a lot of frustration and go somewhere else. In summary: forgot…read moreabout my items, when I showed up rushed the job to where I had to get it redone elsewhere, incorrectly performed work on a second item twice, slow turn arounds. Detailed explanation below: I dropped off two items, a fabric briefcase that needed a patch sewn onto it and a jacket liner that needed a zipper replacement. There was another reviewer who took issue with pre-paying for services. I don't necessarily agree with that, as it is fairly normal for small businesses to require payment up front. This does, however, become an issue later on in this saga. Owner stated services should take two weeks. Two and a half weeks later, I return to the shop only to have the owner state she does not remember me (I presented her my receipt). Eventually she finds my items only to realize that she had completely forgotten about them and had not even started the work. Asks me to come back. This is the first indication I had that I should probably take my business elsewhere, but again I had pre-paid so this was not an easy option. Upon returning to the shop, she had completed my briefcase work, but again needed me to return for the jacket liner. It was obvious she had rushed the job just to get it done, and within a week the stiches started falling apart. She had rushed it to the point that there were significantly less sitches in the patch than were needed and I ended up having to take the briefcase elsewhere to have the work redone. In regards to the jacket liner, I returned a week later (now 3.5 weeks after initial drop-off) only to find that she had installed the incorrect zipper type. Being a jacket liner, it required a reversible zipper. She installed a traditional zipper which was both incorrect and made the jacket liner unusable as an actual jacket liner. I returned the liner to her at which point she stated "oh you want a reversible zipper? I will need to special order that. It will take one week to arrive and then two weeks to sew it on." I asked for a new receipt because I had a suspicion she would not remember me otherwise. Three weeks later (6.5 weeks after dropoff) I return for the jacket liner a third time. She, as predicted, did not remember me and told me I had already picked up my items even though I had handed her my reciept. She eventually found my jacket liner and once again the wrong type of zipper was installed. She then proceeded to argue with me despite me reminding her that she specifically said that she needed a week to order the correct reversible zipper. At that point, I just took my items and left. Save yourself the trouble. Go elsewhere. Norfolk Tailor at the MacArthur Center has worked out extremely well for me in the time since my debacle with Mina's Sewing Shop.
