What? $20 to cut a t-shirt short? That is too expensive, almost funny…read more I have 2 t-shirts that are too long, I plan to come in and show her how long I want them to be, just cut off and sew. I called her this afternoon around 4pm, and told her all that. She told me she will be out until Tuesday, so it will ve after that, and the cost will be "$20 for a t-shirt". I asked again to be sure about what I heard "Did you mean $20 for one t-shirt"? She confirmed "yes, that is for one t-shirt". The t-shirts I bought 2 days ago for $10 each.

I have lived in Menlo Park for 25 years but never knew of Sew N Go alterations until a few weeks…read moreago when I saw the sign in the window from across the street. I am petite so frequently need things hemmed and this business is 1/4 mile from my home. I called and Natalee didn't pick up but texted a VERY NICE text back a few hours later. PERFECT! except it wasn't. Natalee rents a 400 sq ft working studio on the 2nd floor, and appears to live there some/ all of the time. As others have described, I had to change in her very cramped/ cluttered living area next to her sofa and with her two cats circling. Bright windows were behind me. There was no mirror, as one would expect. As others have described, she stood behind a SHEER curtain but then WALKED IN while I was still changing . She didn't appear startled and didn't apologize as she looked me up and down while I tried to cover myself. I decided then that I had to get out. But to get out alive, I entertained a quote for the alteration - $250 including a rush fee because I wanted the dress back in 4 business days (6 calendar days). She told me that most of her clients are very wealthy Atherton socialites and that they prefer that she come to them, so she doesn't receive visitors often. She mentioned that Gavin Newsom (who lives 300 miles away) is a regular client and that the restaurant across the street has a contract with her (for what - hemming tablecloths?). I told her that the quoted price was higher than i had anticipated- to me the work was fairly simple. That's when she said that when I walked in, she could tell that I appeared to be someone on a budget (thx!) and that I probably got the dress on sale (thx again ). I thanked her, and then took my dress down the street where I had a much less creepy experience and was quoted $110. Natalee texted me later to say that she could tell I wasn't comfortable in her studio. And she is right about that! But if you love cats, and cat hair, and clutter, and dank odors, and deliberate CRIMINAL intrusions while you are undressed in a semi-open area, + insults, and 2x pricing, then Natalee is your perfect seamstress.

When I met Elizabeth, she let me know she would give me a discounted rate for the first set of clothes she did because I wasn't familiar with her work yet. She finished my Aritzia pants in about a week and they looked fantastic! Her hemming and stitching was super neat and I couldn't even tell where she adjusted, but it fit perfectly to my measurements. She was also totally willing to adjust if I still wanted anything different. Elizabeth was also super great about explaining to me what she did. She let me know that she has been a seamstress since she was 14 years old. She has worked at David's Bridal, used to sew airline seats for airline companies, has done even wrestling costumes for wrestlers. Highly recommend Elizabeth as a tailor!

Unless you have a design in mind that is very different, non-traditional, and nothing like a wedding dress you'd find in the store, I wouldn't recommend going to her. See photos. When I tried on the dress for the last time before taking it home, I pointed out to Victoria that there were some unflattering creases around the bust area. She just told me I need to stop slouching, so I arched my back & stood up straight as I could, which made the front appear smooth. However, during the wedding, I quickly forgot about keeping my shoulder blades pinched together... later on I was mortified when I saw the photos my relatives had took. Every single photo had the same unflattering flap in front of my chest. I get really bummed out now when I look at my wedding photos, which is so sad! If I'd have known it would turn out like this, I would have gone with a Davids' Bridal or a Jenny Yoo dress.....would have been way cheaper than what I paid too. Theater costumes, corsets, etc may be a completely different story, I can only speak for how she did with the wedding dress design I gave her.

Victoria has made several pieces for me now, and I love, love, LOVE her. As the previous reviewer…read morestated, she is certainly a tailor of dreams. My first piece with her was an Elizabethan gown. I provided the fabric and she sketched a design for me. We work long distance, but this certainly works out fine. I was thrilled with the end result, and continue to get compliments each time I wear the gown to events. The outfit consisted of a bodice, an overskirt, three sets of sleeves and two underskirts, and a hat. All of this was lined and trimmed with the trim I provided. All of this was done with only one fitting. My second piece is, so far, my favorite. I wanted a Victorian bustle gown for an event. I found the perfect fabric and sent it to Victoria, telling her..."go wild." I saw no sketches for it, and was excited to see what I would get back. Wow! What I got in return was an absolutely gorgeous gown that I couldn't even have imagined. When I wore it to the event, everyone went absolutely crazy for it. The attention to detail is amazing, from the knife pleating, to the hand-dyed lace, to the gorgeous glass buttons. This outfit was four pieces: a corset, a bodice, the skirt (and bustle pad), and a hat to match it all. The hat, might I add, is stunning. When I need another piece, she will definitely be the one to go to. I have seen other people in her work, as well as pictures, and the woman is simply a costuming goddess. Thank you, Victoria!

I chose to travel to her rather than have her come to me, and I'm so glad I did. Her space was calm, comfortable, and relaxing--such a welcome change from the bustle of a bridal shop with people constantly coming and going.

I've been taking clothes here for 6 years now, including men's and women's shirts, pants, dresses, and blazers.
