I searched for alterations done in my area and came across BA's Alterations. I'm so glad I did. I took the suit to them and asked if they could take some fabric from both sleeves and remove the leather and add fabric. She said yes. They did a great job. I'm impressed. It took a couple of weeks because they seemed to be busy. It was worth the wait. I would recommend this company.

I would NOT recommend this place to anyone, especially for something as important and expensive as…read morea wedding dress. I originally went here based on a recommendation from someone who had also had her wedding dress altered there. Since I was new to the area, I trusted the recommendation and the reviews and felt confident leaving my wedding dress in their hands. I brought my wedding dress in six months before my wedding, giving what I believed was more than enough time to have the alterations completed properly. She pinned the dress and marked everything that needed to be adjusted. Before I left, she gave me a price breakdown and told me to choose a date within the next month to come back and pick up my dress. Looking back, I should have trusted my gut. I questioned why a wedding dress would be finished and returned to me so early, but I trusted that this was someone who did alterations professionally and knew what she was doing. When I returned about a month later, I tried the dress on and everything appeared to look good. I took it home and trusted that the alterations had been done correctly. A few weeks before my wedding, I decided to try my dress on again to make absolutely sure everything fit properly. That is when I noticed the problems. There was fabric coming loose, and there were two large holes in the front of my dress where it had been altered. I immediately started panicking because my wedding was only a couple of weeks away. I had to scramble to find another seamstress who could hopefully fix the damage. When the new seamstress examined my dress, she was completely honest with me about the condition it was in. She was shocked by the way it had been altered and told me that she was concerned the dress could snap at any time in the area where the previous alterations had been done. At that point, I was left sitting here stressed and panicked over my wedding dress just weeks before my wedding, trying to figure out how to fix something I had trusted a professional to take care of six months earlier. A wedding dress is not something you casually hand over to someone. It is an expensive, sentimental piece that you trust a professional to handle with care and expertise. I gave plenty of time for the alterations to be done correctly, and unfortunately, I was left with damage that another seamstress now has to try to repair right before my wedding. I am extremely disappointed with this experience and would strongly recommend that anyone considering this place for wedding dress alterations think twice before trusting them with such an important and expensive garment.

This is my third time using Anya. As long as she's in New Bern she has my businesses!…read morePrior to today's visit we brought in 2 suits for her alter. My husband had lost a lot of weight and they just hung on him and they were quality suits still in great shape, so had her do those. She charged $70.00 per suit and she did an amazing job!!!! Today I took in three blouses to be altered and she was just so accommodating. She is soft spoken, sweet as can be and is very sensitive to your wants and concerns with out the overbearing loud nonsense at so many other locations I've been to. There are 3 spacious changing rooms and two large mirrors on the floor like in a bridal shop to use. Don't waste your time and money looking around. Go see Anya! You'll be so glad you did!

My order was one month late and she's always changing hours. She is also never in the shop and leaves notes on the door to come back another time. She didn't bother to snip loose threads after tailoring, and the dry cleaning was mediocre. I never leave reviews, but the experience was so bad I felt inclined to help someone else avoid this place. How do you expect to get good reviews when you make false promises and not even be in your store during the hours YOU POSTED as open? Thats not how a business works. Don't waste your time or money like I did. (The door is locked in the photo and she wouldn't pick up the phone. It was my fifth visit before I finally got my clothes)

I have waited a long time to post this review as I seldom give a small business owner negative…read morefeedback. However, after much consideration I have decided it is warranted in this case. I enjoy wearing expensive clothing and am able to do so by buying pre-owned items which I could not afford if new. I am very selective in my purchases and know my body's dimensions in precise detail. During April I took several items of quality men's clothing to Christine for some simple alterations including the letting out of waistlines, the finishing of hems, and the replacement of buttons. Each item of clothing was accompanied by a handwritten block printed note requesting (as in "please...." ) the specific alteration that I desired, such as "please let out the waist to 36 inches". I would estimate that there were approximately ten items in total. She accepted my clothing and instructions and took my contact information. The first warning sign was that the receipt she issued me did not specify the number of items I was receipting to her, the work she was to perform, an itemized expense for each requested alteration, nor a total amount which would be due. She requested that I make a deposit and I was receptive to that as I am used to paying 100% up front for alterations. She specified a pickup date two weeks into the future in which I was fine with. I visited her shop approximately three weeks afterwards (intentionally allowing additional time for her completion) and no work had been performed. I was told to come back in a week. In approximately ten days I returned and again no work had been completed. I was told to return in a week. In a week I returned and you know what I was told. At about the 45 day mark I received a phone call that my order was complete and ready for pickup. I arrived her shop and the first problem was that she had difficulty locating all of my clothing. The next problem was she told me she had not performed several of the alterations I had requested as "those clothes are already the dimension you requested!" I ask you - based upon what I have shared so far in this review - do I impress you as someone precise and meticulous or does she? And finally, she proceeded to quote an astronomical total price for the work she had (not) done. At this point I was just happy to get my clothes back, pay her, and get out of her shop. In fact, I was so exasperated and in a hurry to leave that I failed to notice she had failed to credit me for my deposit against the final amount due. Engage Christine for alterations at your own peril. Some of her reviewers seem quite satisfied with her work. Are you feeling lucky?

Everyone at my wedding was in disbelief when we would tell them it was my mom's dress! They commented on how beautiful it was and it certainly made me feel beautiful. I put Ms. Kim through a lot when I first had her alter the dress to fit my larger size and then I lost 60 lbs! She had to basically rework everything she had done and she did it with kindness and professionalism. I was sad to actually pick up my dress from her because it meant not seeing her again, but if I ever need an awesome seamstress I know who to call :) You can trust anything with her!! Thank you so much Ms. Kim you are one in a million! She also reworked my mom's headband that she wore at her wedding so it would clip into my hair like a barrette. Thank you!

With the constant military functions requiring "dress blues" needing to be updated and your lady needing adjustments/alterations made to that dress she just loves, I figured I couldn't expect a quick and expeditious response to my request. Boy, was I wrong! Called made my request, asked if it could be done "while I wait". I was told yes, if I could get there quickly because she WAS busy. Got there and about twenty minutes later it was done. Now I WON'T say this will happen to you, because it will depend on just what it is your requesting to have done. But, from now on, any and ALL cloth alterations/sewing's will be done here! Thank you SO much. It's nice to know there are STILL people out there that take pride in their work and will go that "extra" mile. Again, THANKS!!! FRANK L SULLIVAN SR US ARMY, RETIRED 1970-1990
