    I brought in a dress and a satin shirt that needed a full zipper replacement and for $25 I got it! The zipper was once extremely difficult to use and practically busted and the other zipper was completely broken. I'm extremely satisfied with this service and would highly recommend this place! Keep in mind this is a CASH only and it IS closed on Sunday! Other than that- a great tailor!

    Nada's Tailoring & Alterations - 3rd fitting try on

    I found Nada's Tailoring & Alterations on Yelp and saw she had really good ratings. I bought a…read morewedding dress in Feb and got it end of July. I called Nada and she asked me a few questions and set up and appointment for the following week to come in for a fitting to check what needed to be done. She took her time and asked me what I was looking to do and even told me her opinion on what needed to be taken in. She asked me my budget and worked with me to come to a realistic price which was still within my budget. As the hour went by she pinned the dress and I was on my way. Nada set up my next 2 appointments and ensured I was on her calendar. Come to my second fitting, I get there and try on my dress. She didn't want to do too many alterations so far away from my wedding, so it was perfect to see where I lost weight and take in more areas. Again, she gave me her professional opinion on what needed to be taken in and altered. 3rd and final meeting comes and it fits perfectly. I wanted lace added to the top of the cups which she has to do by hand and it was BEAUTIFUL. She did some last min touch ups and suggested she steam my dress so I didn't have to do it the day of and I'm glad she did. The dress fit perfectly and I looked amazing in it. Nada is friendly and sweet and even makes her own dresses for her guest attire at family weddings. When I left, Nada helped me to my car and gave me a hug. If you're looking for a skilled and talented alterations seamstress then meet with Nada!

    I dropped off two simple items on 9/12. Nada said I could pick them up 9/16. I called on my way to…read morepick them up that morning and she said they weren't ready. I stopped in the next morning and she said they still weren't ready. She assured me they would be ready by the end of the day. I arrived around 5pm and they still weren't ready. Each time she rattled on about being busy. I retrieved my items and dropped them at another shop. They were done in two days for the same price.

    I've trusted Gamila at Beautiful Alterations with my clothing for nearly eight years, and I…read morehonestly can't imagine going anywhere else. She's done everything from everyday alterations to creating custom garments for me, and every single piece has been flawless. Her craftsmanship, attention to detail, and ability to bring an idea to life are truly remarkable. What really speaks to her talent is that my sister located in NY works in the luxury designer apparel industry, where part of her job is evaluating and working with some of the best seamstresses around the world. She's incredibly selective and has exceptionally high standards. After seeing Gamila's work firsthand on a vintage garment I wore to the Versace runway show in 2022 my sister immediately recognized that my garment was customized and asked me who did my garment and complimented her skill and craftsmanship. That says everything. Gamila has an incredible eye for fit, construction, and detail. Whether it's a simple alteration or a custom piece, she treats every garment with the same level of care and precision. Her work looks seamless--as if it came that way from the original designer. If you're looking for the best seamstress in the Sacramento area, look no further. Her talent is unmatched, her prices are fair, and she genuinely cares about her clients. I recommend her without hesitation.

    I was only partially happy with the alteration job I received. The ruffles on the chest of the…read moredress were wavy, so I brought the dress in to have the shoulders lifted because it pulled the ruffles more taught and I am quite short. When I came back to try on, they were much better but still not great, as shown in the image. When I went to check out, I noticed a splotch on the shoulder of the dress on the sleeve. VERY small. When I asked her about it, she said it wasn't there before (which tells me that it happened in the shop, which it did). However she did not offer to dry clean it or try to get the stain out. Reasonably priced. I would only come back if I needed a simpler alteration, but not for another bridesmaid's dress. *update* due to my interaction with Alice, who reached out to see how she could make my experience better, I am updating my review from a 3-star to a 4-star. Thanks.

    I've been holding off on writing this review until I got wedding photos back to show the amazing…read morework Carole put into my gown! I seriously cannot recommend Carole enough! I initially chose a less expensive seamstress for my wedding dress alterations, and unfortunately, the neckline was completely botched and uneven. With my wedding only being 1 month away, this was a huge disappointment and caused an unnecessary additional amount of stress. I brought my dress to Carole, who was recommended by the bridal shop, and she was an absolute pleasure. She fixed the neckline beautifully and, while working on the dress, also noticed that the original bustle had been poorly done and was likely to break. Only 1 button for all that fabric (right where my bottom hits the chair), I mean come on! Carole fixed it beautifully with a French bustle. Before and after photo below. What I appreciate most is that she was willing to take on someone else's work and fix it, even though I had originally passed on her because her quote was higher. After seeing the love and quality she put into my dress, I truly wish I had just gone with her from the beginning! She was professional, knowledgeable, and so so kind. I'm forever grateful she was able to save my wedding dress so I could wear it with no regrets on my special day! I am truly so appreciative of Carole and the work she put into my gown. I will be recommending Carole to all my besties for their gown alterations and I definitely recommend her for yours too!

She worked with my budget and listened to what I wanted and made something I didn't even know what was possible happen. Her studio is very clean and gorgeous. She guided me on how to travel to Mexico with my dress and gave me the confidence to do so. I am so over the moon that I was able to wear my mom's dress for my mom and the rest of my family in Mexico. My mother could not be in the states for my civil ceremony, but with her dress she was as close to my heart as possible. Thank you again Carole.
