Carolyn did my wedding dress for me several years ago and a bridesmaid dress last year. Unfortunately yelp took my review down (and my profile) so here I am again ;) Carolyn is the kindest, most patient seamstress I know. She took incredible care of not only my dress, but myself and my needs and wants for my dress. I was unsure if I wanted sleeves added to my dress, so in addition to my alterations, she made sleeves for me to add to the dress as an option for me. She truly is gifted and kind-hearted. She really makes you feel like you are her only client. She's just the best and so is her team! read more

Such a great place!! Caroline is very professional and knowledgable. She helped me tailoring my suit for my wedding and she did a stellar job! She was very good with our tight deadline and even gave me little wardrobe tricks on how to keep my suit looking great durring the wedding.... Everything fits exactly how I imagined, I'm so happy with her work. 5 stars!!! read more

I ordered a dress for my friend's wedding kind of last minute. I ordered it a size larger based on all the reviews that the dress ran small. Well dress arrived and it was too big. The halter was way too long for my torso and baggy and the sides were a little big. Without enough time to return and/or find another dress I found this little gem on yelp and immediately contacted Carolyn. I sent her a couple pics and got a quote and I was off to see her. Her shop is really cute and cozy and down the street from the Design District. She has pics of celebrities she's done work for hanging on the wall (some big ones too!) I was in and out in 20 mins. Received a text that my dress was ready for pick up a couple days earlier than expected. End result was great! I'm bringing a few more things that need minor repair this week. read more

Sew On Set Tailor - Had to hold up halter. After alterations, halter length was perfect & even provided a nice lift! - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Miami, Florida

Carolyn and her Army of grandmas is the best I've ever seen. I felt like she and her team new exactly what they were doing at any given moment. They understood my vision for my wedding dress. I brought them something that needed some serious altering and they turned into a gorgeous gown even a celebrity would want. They even altered my mothers dress and she was so happy with the results. That she went back 3 more times. This team was incredible! Highly recommend them. They treat you like family. Thank you Carolyn and Yubie, my dress looks amazing and I can't wait to wear it! read more

Carolyn did my wedding dress, and it fit perfectly. She also has done some simpler things - hemming, fixing broken zippers, etc, and they've all been lovely. I won't ever use another tailor in Miami. read more

Cant lie i'm hooked!! i've had millions of alterations but i must say with all honesty sew on set was the best very professional and understanding and great with coming threw during emergencies i will not take or trust my clothes with anyone else again sew on set is my tailor period read more

Great tailor! Super reliable and responds fast. I came in to get my bridesmaid dress tailored and a men's button down. She did both in 6 days and they look very professional. I would recommend her to everyone. read more

I have been going to Carolyn since 2015, she's the only person I trust with my suits and tuxedos. I live more than 20 miles from her but I will take the drive no matter what. Her rated are reasonable and it doesn't hurt that I get to brag about the people she's worked with. She's awesome. read more

Worst people in the world very bad service even though good alterations Very expensive I felt judged the whole time Literally told me that my wedding dress was too small (after alterations, what could I do now) and made me cry ! read more

My go to tailor in Miami! The talent and professionalism here is amazing. Kudos to Carolyn and Clide! Can turn things around in an emergency very quickly. Would highly recommend! Fantastic work. Always on point. read more

I wouldn't recommend the bridal alteration from here. I paid $350 when picking up my dress, nobody was in the store to answer my questions except a guy that has no clue about the bridal dress. I have tried on the dress twice before, and the tailors from there can not speak any English, there was one younger girl came out to translate once. The details must be lost during the translation. They sewed on an extra bra on the dress, and the sleeves by the shoulders are not even, so the boat neck portion kept shifting and slide to one side during my wedding. The bottom portion of the dress is fine, but for the shoulders and the arms must be too challenged for them. read more

I absolutely love this place! I've had several of my military uniforms that needed to be tailored/altered, and they were able to do it same day and last minute. They followed the specific instructions and were so professional and courteous that I've been a returning customer. Highly recommend! read more

I was happy with the alteration however the woman that was there when I picked up my dress was rude and sarcastic with me about the fact that their credit card machine wasn't working. I attempted to work something out with her but all I was met with was snarky remarks and eye rolls. Needless to say I will not be using these services again read more

The bamboo cotton washable masks are wonderful. I have purchased 5 in white two for myself and three for friends. Very comfortable, breathable and soft, yet the fabric is layered so it is secure. I prefer the wrap around head straps. I have washed one of them at least 12 times and lightly dry it...still looks like new. My friends have thanked me over and over for the masks! read more

I was referred to Carolyn by Martina at the Bridal Project. I bought my wedding dress through a sample sale and it was a few sizes too big. Carolyn took the time to carefully pin my dress to make all the alterations. She made me feel very comfortable and she was very patient during the entire process. My dress was finished two weeks later as promised and I was able to go for a final fitting with my mom. My dress was perfect. Carolyn hemmed the skirt, fixed my long sleeves and really did a great job. I was really happy with the result and the experience. If you need alterations for your wedding dress, go and see her. Thank you so much, Carolyn! read more

I had a wonderful experience here. I never met the owner because both times I went she wasn't there but she has some very nice people working in her office and the cutest dog. I went in for a zipper replacement on a skirt. It ended up costing $25 which is on the higher end but she did a wonderful job so no complaints. You get what you pay for and I got a perfectly functioning skirt. I will plan on returning. Thank you very much! read more

I needed a very complicated dress altered and basically made and Carolyn and the staff were great. I was so pleased that I have returned to have another dress altered. Very affordable and efficient. I highly recommend this place. If you read all of the reviews you can see how consistently awesome they are! Don't go anywhere else! read more

I found Sew on Set by internet and am so glad I did! I needed three pairs of jeans, one pair of khakis, and a skirt hemmed, one skirt and two dresses taken in, one dress let out, and two pairs of shorts and a sweater mended. Carolyn arrived on time, was friendly, knowledgeable, easy to communicate with,professional, and returned with all of the items mentioned above perfectly sewn! Every single item was perfect!!! I thought that her prices were fair and reasonable and would highly recommend her services to anyone and everyone. read more

Perfect! Came here for the first time on Wednesday and received a text the following Saturday stating it was ready for pick up.... I will be recommending and hiring their services again. read more

I got my wedding dress altered at Sew on Set with Carolyn and it truly was a pleasant experience. She and her team did a wonderful job as it was a big task. Not only was her team working with a dress that needed to be taken in and up, I also asked her to add cap sleeves in case I wanted those on the wedding day :). She's very accommodating, patient and kind. She was just so much fun to work with and I can't wait to go back with more stuff to alter. read more

Words cannot begin to express how professional and talented they are. I came in town for a wedding only to discover that my bridesmaid dress needed to be let out, and I only had 24 hours to do it. Not only did see on set fulfill the request, the work was impeccable! And they knocked it out within the same day! Thank you so much for your quality work, professionalism and efforts!!! read more

Owner was very very rude. Won't be going back. Nice seamstress I worked with, too bad owners poor attitude overshadowed this. Way over-priced, they told me I would have to pay $50 something for a small adjustment in a dress, I took it to a seamstress in coconut grove who did an amazing job for only $12. read more

Carolyn and her team are amazing!! I was a bridesmaid and needed a dress to be altered. I waited too long and only had about a week and a half until the wedding. Thankfully Carolyn was able to alter the dress (letting it out and hemming) in only a few days! She was also flexible with the dates/times for my fittings. Seriously, I cannot recommend her enough! read more

5 star service all around! Carolyn of Sew on Set is the best thing that ever happened to our wedding dresses. Due to our busy schedule, we emailed her midday to see if she could come out to our apartment at some point that week; she responded within hours and was at our place the following day promptly for our fittings. Since we left this kind of to the last minute we had our anxieties but she had both my partner's dress and mine done within a week and a half and they look better than we imagined! Perfect fit for our big day and for a very fair price. With the wedding 5 days away in DC, we still have a thousand things to do but have Carolyn to thank for helping us cross "dress alterations" of our list with such ease. read more

Very disappointed. I dropped off three dresses and a shirt, eight days ago. The owner wasn't in and her assistant said she couldn't give an estimate. I called about 5 days and spoke to Carolyn. She was short with me, unfriendly and seemed annoyed at the entire conversation. She never offered an estimate and I only needed one piece finished by Saturday. A hem on a dress that had come undone. When I arrived - the dress was done and I must say the hem looked nice - but the cost - $30! For a hem! Had I know, I would have done it myself. The rest of the estimated costs for repairs were outrageous. Thankfully they hadn't been done yet. I took my clothes and will happily drive to my old seamstress. It's worth the distance, compared to the unfriendly, overpriced Sew on Set. read more

So my suit didn't fit. My wife bought me this killer piece on sale and it wasn't quite right. Carolyn did her magic and the suit fit like a glove for the big event. (I never wear suits!) read more

Awesome service! They took the time and effort to make sure my fit was perfect and worked with my schedule for fittings. Would definitely recommend! read more

Carolyn has done several alterations for me and the end results have always been amazing. She's great at what she does and is trusted to do alterations for some of the leading high end fashion brands. read more

After extensive research I found Sew on Set. I needed a expert to take my purple bridesmaid dress from a size 6 to a size 0. Now this was not to be a easy task, as there were tons of pleats and a pocket. Carolyn comes to your house which is very helpful! She was super sweet and a pleasure to deal with. When I received my dress back, I'm telling you perfect. I will use her services again, which I did for my husband. :) It's rare here in Miami to find a really good seamstress, and I finally found my gem! read more

My heroes! Carolyn is extremely professional and talented. Her team also deserves two big thumbs up. Isidoro and Carolyn saved my dress and essentially my wedding. The designer sent my dress in a state that needed intense repairs and I was out of state and under a time crunch. They made it happen and it happened seamlessly. Isidoro has a true passion for wedding dresses and was awesome to work with. He was a wonderful listener, patient and took my vision into a reality. This is hands down one of the best tailoring services I have ever received. Excellent quality, excellent service and just awesome people. I wish there were more seamstresses like her and more businesses like this. read more

Best seamstress around!!! Always gets my vision, great customer service & extremely consistent. It's comforting that I can bring my clothes somewhere and know they'll be in great hands read more

I had a bunch of stuff tailored here last year, including shirts, pants, a suit, and even a sweater. They are organized and professional.

Recommend without hesitation for any tailoring work! Carolyn and the Sew on Set team did the alterations for my wedding dress and my husband's suit. Both fit like a glove and Carolyn ensured the work was perfect and we were happy. I had requested cups be sewn into my dress, then changed my mind once I saw them in, but they took them out and did additional alterations at no extra charge. The turn around is fast and the price is good, especially for such quality. We've been taking our clothes to Sew on Set for a while now, and will continue to do so! read more

Everybody - if you haven't already, go see Carolyn and her team at Sew on Set. The work they do is unmatched. I have brought countless suits and other garments to her, and each time she nails it. There is nothing they can't do. Extremely accommodating, and they even offer mobile tailoring services. Simply the best in Miami. Go to Carolyn for all of your tailoring and alteration needs. You won't be disappointed. read more

Where do I start! Carylon and her team are amazing! If your looking for a tailor in the Miami area and need to have a garment tailored, need a tailor on set, or need a tailor for a private client, Sew on Set Tailor is it! Carylon is kind, professional, and always executes whatever challenge you give her with the highest quality craftsmanship. I worked with Carylon and her team over a period of 4 years, as a stylist your only as good as your tailor. I believe over the span of 4 years I gave Sew on Set Tailor thousands of garments to tailor in just about any type of fabric you could ever imagine and just about every challenge possible. Carylon worked closely with one of my high profile clients in the Miami area that required alterations for hundreds of pieces per month. I gave Carylon excessive amounts of clothes to be altered with short deadlines and Carylon never missed a deadline. Carylon and her team understood and executed the type of fit that my client wanted and never disappointed. She was always able to give us expert and creative advice about alterations of the garments, some of the garments we completely recreated through the alteration. There were times that I was not able to be in Miami with my client to have a fitting and I could coordinate with Carylon as to what I needed and Carylon always understood and executed. That is priceless. I have worked with countless seamstress and tailors all over the U.S and Carylon and her team are the best! THANK YOU for absolutely everything Carylon! read more

Amazing service !!! I was desperate to find someone to make a dress for my daughters special day. I had run out of time and had only 10 days . I searched on yelp and found a few tailors. Carolyn responded immediately and texted me on a Sunday! Long story short - within 10 days she made my daughter a dress from scratch and it looks like a dress for a princess! The quality of their work was A+++++ . So kind on top of it - you could tell they really really cared. They saw how desperate I was and they didn't even over charge me! After being quoted $2000 from REX fabrics - I was more than pleased to pay whatever Carolyn requested which was more than reasonable. Highly highly recommend. read more

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND CAROLYN!!! BEST SEAMSTRESS in MIAMI!!! I was a bride on a budget, i only had a few 100 dollars to spend on my wedding dress + alterations. i searched like crazy and found my dream wedding dress for a steal!! but of course, it didnt fit me, it was 3 sizes bigger than me, and it needed to be hemmed and altered to be strapless. My next step was to find a skilled seamstress that would make that dress THE dress of my dreams,... and after many google searches, reading reviews and asking around in dry cleaners etc, i came across the sewonset.com site. i asked Carolyn on an email how much she would charge, and the price was not bad at all! I was about to call her to fix my dress when a friend told me she knew a good seamstress that would do it cheaper. Then cheapo me went ahead with the cheap seamstress, and my dress didnt turn up what i wanted it to be. Thats' when i decided to call Carolyn and she came to the rescue :-) I called her and explained what had happened, she came to my house, saw the dress, gave me an estimate and explained to me what had to be done (she had to put it apart, work her magic and then reconstruct it) and her prices were still good, she didnt try to take advantage of me because of my situation. Warning: She's always on time! So in sum, girls, if this is an important piece of clothing you are modifying, like your wedding dress, Carolyn is the best! read more

Extremely unprofessional. I reached out to the owner about getting some stuff altered, and she never responded. I don't know how someone can do business like that. So rude. read more

I must say that it was a true pleasure working with this talented seamstress! I had a heavily layered formal gown that needed major alterations. I'd ordered the dress in my normal size, but it arrived so large, I was sure that three of me could fit in the dress. I had no time to wait another two months, as this dress was for my cousin's wedding out of state in 3 weeks. I called and was accommodated so quickly and easily! She came to me, at the time that was convenient for me (during my lunch hour at work), took my measurements and notes, listened to my concerns about how I wanted it to fit, quoted me a price, and took the dress with her. In less than two weeks, the dress was ready! She was even kind enough to deliver it to my place, and while I tried it on one more time, she made an on the spot alteration on another jacket that needed some quick fixing. This was major work and she really pulled through! read more

Good work but wayyy to pricy for basic work. Had a suit tailored here, paid over $170
