The amount of disturbing issues encountered with this tailor, from low quality work, not following instructions and her vendetta against customers that disagree with her, its simply not worth doing business here. Ms Black has attempted to extort and ruin many lives in retaliation for negative reviews of her business. Families have had the department of child services called on them over bogus reports of abuse, as one reviewer noted, Ms Black called the department of education to make a complaint about a customer (who also left a yelp review and desribed her experience which was published in the local newspaper) who also happened to be a local elementary school teacher. All of these complaints were bogus and the respective authorities intervened. read more

If I could give this place zero stars - I would! I brought a dress here to be hemmed for a black tie wedding. She seemed nice at first but then did some Jekyll and Hyde thing. After dropping my dress off and her taking her measurements to alter, I followed up with her a couple weeks later. She told me to stop bothering her, why did I keep calling, was I getting married?, etc. I was just nervous because the event that I needed the dress for was in a few days and the dress still wasn't done. At one point, she told me to stop by to try it on after hemming and she wasn't even there when I arrived! I called her to ask where she was and she told me she had jury duty. Um, don't you know about that in advance? I was seriously contemplating suing her if she charged me anything more than what was told to me. The dress itself cost me $250 and it cost me almost as much to alter it. Ridiculous but the first place I went to didn't want to even touch it because it was too much work. When I walked out of there with my dress, it was the best day of my life because it meant I would never have to see her again! read more

Sew At Seams - This is the dress that I needed altered. - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Wareham, Massachusetts

If I could give 0 stars, I would. From a negative attitude to robbery, please avoid this place. Her mannerism was very rude, answering every question with "no it can't be done" when I just wanted to make a dress a little tighter. When I asked for a little off the length, she said it would cost $300. I understand the work might rightly be expensive be what was not needed was the mean attitude. I was hardly even greeted from walking in the door, and I had to basically insist to try the dress on after multiple "no it can't be done" answers. Following up on this review months later, I found a place that did this work for $50. Ridiculous. read more

I never wear a suit, but I had to for a wedding that I was forced to go to. Given that I had put on a few pounds in the 20 years since I bought my last suit, I had nothing to wear. My choice was either to buy a suit that I might use again in another 5 or 10 years, or to try to get one of my old suits fixed. It turns out that an old suit had room to let out the pants and could be made to fit. There was nothing they could do about making the jacket bigger, but I could still wear it if I didn't try to button the front. The work was done well at a reasonable price, and it saved me from having to spend $200 on a new suit. read more

Did an okay job on hemming jeans, but did a chop shop on a dress I brought in for tailoring. Charged $60 and the sewing was loose and gaping. The zipper was exposed on the back and the seam line was crooked. When I pointed it out to her she said "oh yeah, I'll fix it." She called me back the same day and told me if I didn't pick up the dress she would donate it. Poor quality work and completely unprofessional. Do not bring in anything expensive, as it will be ruined! read more

My daughter went to Sew At Seams with her prom dress to have it hemmed by the owner, Patricia. Patricia said it would cost $140.00 to hem the dress as it is chiffon. She said she had 2 dresses ahead of my daughters'. On that day Patricia charged a $35.00 deposit to my credit card and set up a date and time for my daughter to come back to try on her hemmed dress. If it fit that day, she would take it then. If not it would allow for additional time to finish the dress. This date was 13 days from the original drop-off date and seven days until the prom. My daughter showed up for her fitting appointment with Patricia as scheduled. At that time Patricia told her she was behind as she had many dresses come in since her drop off whose prom was sooner and she had not gotten to her dress. Patricia asked that she come back the next afternoon. One hour later I got a phone call at home from Patricia. She stated she had just seen my daughter for her fitting and once again needed to change her appointment from tomorrow (Saturday) to (Tuesday), 4 days before prom. I said, "Yes, *** told me she was just there for her fitting and her dress was not ready. She was upset" Patricia became very defensive and said "Upset?! What is she upset about? I didn't even take a deposit!" I said, "Well, she is upset because she is a 16 year old girl who is worried about having her prom dress finished and you did take a deposit of $35.00. You charged my credit card." She stated, "Well I don't know what her problem is but you can come and get the dress and your deposit." I immediately went to Sew At Sews to pick up the dress and get my deposit refunded on my credit card. Patricia proceeded to tell me she doesn't take credit cards. I said, "Patricia, this is the second dress I have brought to you and both times you have swiped my credit card on your iPhone. She said, "I need to see the receipt then." I said "OK, I will have my daughter bring it here now." Then she changed her story and proceeded to say, "I don't take deposits, that was a fitting charge and it is non-refundable." I asked for the dress and told Patricia that" word of mouth means everything" to a small business. I truly believe this as my husband and I are also small business owners. Patricia did not meet her deadline and was extremely defensive and rude. She did not perform her service as stated and then proceeded to lie and keep the $35.00 deposit. I would not be writing today had she done the right thing: return the deposit and accepted responsibility for not having the dress done. May 16, 2014 A Follow-Up to the Above Review: Today I came home to a message on my answering message from Patricia, the Owner at Sew At Seams (if only I could record audio on Yelp!): Word for Word: "Hello, This is Patricia from Seam At Seams Custom Tailoring. I received a very negative review based on false accusations from *** and her mother and I want to let you know that I am going to report this to Dr. *** ****, Director of Education at Wareham and I will be filing charges against you. You will be hearing from my attorney very soon. Have a great day. Thank you." Apparently Patricia is unaware of our first amendment which we all know includes freedom of speech. read more

AVOID AT ALL COSTS!! This is one of the worst experiences I've ever had with a local small business owner. Completely agree with the several prior reviews which comment upon the bad attitude of the owner. I brought my daughter by today to get a prom dress hemmed. From the moment we walked in the door the owner was full of attitude, completely rude. Unbelievable! We arrived one hour and 15 minutes prior to the closing time posted on the Internet, which she told us was inaccurate. She made us feel extremely badly for even bothering her today. When we attempted to reschedule for a date in the future, that was apparently extremely inconvenient for her also. Either this woman does such a good business that she does not need more customers, or she thinks that she is so talented that she doesn't need to bother with common human decency. Will never go there again!! read more
