Same day hemmed pants that were perfect for my next day job interview! I don't know if that is the standard, but she listened to why I needed them quickly and made it happen! I will definitely be a return customer! read more

I love Silver Thread Tailoring. When working I took all my suits there to get a perfect fit. And when I retired and lost weight the shop was able to alter most of my clothes to my new size. The work is impeccable, the service cheerful and efficient and turnaround times very reasonable. I still take new clothes there to get a perfect fit. read more

I've been going to Silver Thread for over 5 years now and the service and quality continues to be top notch. Most recently, I took a hiking backpack in to replace a belt buckle that my dogs chewed through. I had a replacement buckle sent to me from the backpack manufacturer and Silver Thread did a great job sewing it in with a really strong thread to ensure the same quality and strength as the original manufacture. I actually didn't explicitly ask for the extra strength thread and took to Silver Thread instead of doing it myself because I knew she would do a better stitch than I could. So I really appreciated afterward when she showed me the thread she used and even encouraged me to try to break a strand of the thread to show how strong it is Great place where you can give your old clothes and even sporting equipment new life! If you're unsure if it can be fixed, just drop by and show her. That's what I do. Thank you! read more

Love going to Silver Thread! The alterations are always correctly and quickly. Several years ago, my daughter took a bridesmaid's dress somewhere else and the result was horrible. Silver thread fixed the dress perfectly! Would not go anywhere else in the Lansing area. read more

Brides Beware!!! After three fittings and $590 later, the dress was not completed. The bust area was not fitted properly & the bustle was missing hooks. The dress clearly was mistreated in the shop as it had many snags in the material. After the required payment was made, the dress was not her priority to finish properly. Having the dress at the cleaners, before the wedding, it was pointed out that the alterations we not even on both sides. Disappointed in the service and wouldn't recommend this place to sew a pair of socks! read more

I had my bridesmaid skirt for my sisters wedding altered here and was absolutely horrified. I was charged a 20$ up charge as I brought it in and needed it done in a rush - I was initially very grateful she was willing to do this. Altogether paid 80$ for something I took to another tailor and had redone the same day I picked it up. It was hemmed higher than I'd asked for (I was wearing my shoes when she pinned it but this part I could deal with) but was also taken in at the waste to the point I think I would've passed out if I tried to wear it - I'm not sure how this went so terribly wrong This was not work I would've usually paid for (unfortunately I paid in full when I dropped it off). If I didn't find someone else to fix this last minute, this would have made a happy fun day stressful and painful - nobody wants to suck in THAT MUCH at their sisters wedding read more

I must say that I was very impressed by their "quick fix" for the zipper on my favorite jacket. I would whole heartily recommend this tailor shop. read more

Great experience! My dress was tailored perfectly and I was able to pick it up the day the owner said it would be done. I'll definitely be back. read more

If you're in the East Lansing area, this is a must for alterations. I had a wedding coming up quick and needed my bridesmaid dress altered ASAP. The owner completed it beautifully in less than a week while she was very, very busy with other services. The price was very reasonable! My only complaint was that I showed up in the middle of the day when no one else was there and she told me I had to make an appointment to come back for my original fitting. But no big deal! Just make sure you call before hand to make sure she can fit you in. read more

I have never used a tailor before and needed one ASAP to alter my wedding dress for a wedding that was 2 weeks away. I was referred to Silver Thread and to my surprise she was able to not only adjust my wedding dress but got it done perfectly and within a week. I was so thankful that I found this shop and for her helping me on my wedding day. I will always refer people here and I will always use this shop. read more

The lady who owns and runs this place is awesome! She always does a great job! She always gets the work done when she says she will.

Great job! I brought in two pairs of black dress pants pants that I bought from Kohl's that were a little big (1/2 to 1in) on the waist and about 1in too long in length. She was able to do both pairs of paints for me (rush) and have them ready for me ASAP (next day for my needs), and they fit EXACTLY HOW WE AGREED they should be tailored to. Amazing, fast, reliable, and communicative! Prices are fair! read more

Silver Thread Tailor Shoppe has become the only place where I'll bring my clothes in for any sort of work for four reasons: 1) Flawless work All items of clothes (2 work shirts, sun dress, and silk maxi dress) fit like a glove after adjustments were made to them. Both shirts and the sun dress were re-sized and taken in, while the maxi dress was hemmed. The owner went to great lengths (used a special machine) to ensure accurate hemming for the silk. 2) Excellent service From the moment I walked through the door, the owner gave me personalized attention. She greeted me as I entered her shop and her friendliness and meticulous craftsmanship quickly became apparent to me. She insisted that I wear each item of clothing I brought in so that she could make adjustments on site. When I picked up my clothes, she had me wear them to confirm that they fit me accordingly. If they didn't fit as I wanted, she'd go ahead and readjust. 3) Quick turn-around My entire order was done within 7 days, which is relatively fast, considering that she made quite a few adjustments to 4 items of clothing. 4) Reasonable price* *Must pay by cash or check Will definitely be back if I have more clothes that need tailoring! read more

I love Silver Thread. There is some quality work that goes on here. The first thing you notice when you walk in is the multitude of pieces hanging up either waiting to be altered, in progress, or finished. The turnaround time here is fantastic. I've never had to wait more than 7 days for anything. The owner makes me feel much better about being short and barrel-chested. When I first came to Silver Thread, it was to get a tricky one-shoulder bridesmaid's dress altered (without much time to spare). She pinned, took in, let out, and voila! A perfect fit! Additionally, I come here for all of my pants hemming. $7 per pair, and it is done very well. She makes sure the thread on the hems of the jeans and the hem style itself match what was originally there, making it look like nothing was altered at all. Additionally, she checks with you to make sure the hem length will be sufficient for what shoes you're wearing. I've never had a hem be too short or too long. Make sure you bring cash or personal checks, as credit cards aren't accepted. read more

After ordering a bridesmaid dress online, I needed alterations less than 2 weeks before the wedding. I am so grateful a simple google search lead me to Silver Thread. I only expected to have the dress hemmed but I ended up with so much more. By simply walking into her shop you can see how busy she is, but without even having to ask she offered to use the extra fabric to create a better fit in the places I felt insecure. I was pleasantly surprised by the results as she made it look as if the dress was originally made this way! She completed all the alterations in less than a week. Thanks to Silver Thread, when I try on the dress now I feel beautiful, confident, and excited for the wedding. read more

Beyond happy with how my wedding dress alterations turned out! I had been worried because my lace dress was going to be complicated to shorten with such an intricate pattern, and I needed about 6 inches taken off. Leann worked magic and was able to shorten the dress in 3 different spots to blend the pattern seamlessly. It turned out perfectly! I also really appreciated how flexible she was in the alterations - my mom was visiting from out of state for the alterations and came with me to my fitting. Leann worked overnight on the alterations we discussed for my mom to be able to see before she had to leave. This was so special for us and was clearly above and beyond. She also altered my husband's suit and my mother-in-law's dress, and both turned out perfectly! read more

I had my wedding dress altered here and I was very pleased with the work. She was very thorough and detailed. I had to have the dress shortened and she was able to maintain all of the detail at the bottom. Couldn't even tell where the seams were! read more

I took 4 pairs of jeans here to be hemmed...one pair was a bit damaged near the hem-line and needed extra attention. The price was very reasonable at $7/pair, an extra charge for the damaged pair was negligible. The quality of the work is outstanding...highly recommend. Cash or check only...pay in advance. One week turn-around. read more

Silver Thread is the only tailor I trust with my clothing after the owner flawlessly altered my wedding dress! The owner greeted me personally each time I came in for fittings and did everything in a timely fashion. The dress fit my body perfectly on the day of the wedding and I received so many compliments! Since the wedding, I have taken two other work dresses in to be altered and she has done equally quality work on those. She is meticulous about having her customers try on the clothing to ensure the best fit possible. Best tailor in the Lansing area. read more

This is my new go to for alterations! I had a bridesmaid dress altered and my husbands uniform repaired. The owner, Leann, is kind and fantastic. She got the job done quickly and everything looked great. Prices are reasonable and service is great! It's exactly what you need! read more

Although she's known for her wedding gown and bridesmaid alterations, she did a wonderful job in several pairs of chinos, sports coats, suits and even denim. I was really hesitant about getting my expensive denim tailored but I ended up being pleasantly surprised with the results. I highly recommend her service. read more

I had two bridesmaid dresses and my boyfriend's suit altered here recently and all three turned out great. Timely service and reasonable prices. I will be back. read more

This is a great place to go for your wedding dress! My sister and I brought in both of our wedding dresses and we loved the final product. Leann is so great to work with, very sweet, and knows exactly what you want instantly. I will definitely be bringing my friends here in the future for their wedding dress alterations! read more

I took my wedding gown to have all the alterations made at Silver Thread Tailor Shoppe and I was worried because my dress was very big and I thought a few details would have to be cut off. My first fitting was supposed to be after two months I left the dress there but 3 weeks later they called me saying the dress was ready for the first fitting. I live far away so I could make it just on a Sunday evening, they opened it for me! (they said they had worked on my dress already because the busiest season for them was about to start) for my surprise my wedding dress fits perfectly and all the details were beautifully sewed back. She has been doing alterations for many years. The shop was very neat and clean. Good price also. I highly recommend this place. I am a happy bride with my beautiful dress! read more

I hardly have to use a tailor since my mom always took care of my stuff. However, I need one for my bridesmaid dress since that's more advanced. I went there based on past reviews and I'm so happy I did!! I don't think there is a negative thing I could say about the experience I had. The customer service was excellent. I was greeted with a smile and relaxed feel. The attention to detail when I needed the hem taken care of and raise part of the bust was impressive. I also needed the hook for the zipper taken care of and was not a problem. I had mine in about a week and a half with a holiday weekend in there. It was ready to go and turned out great! Like I said, I'm nervous about it since the wedding was so close but the moment I put it on, I'm so happy I went there!! It looked like it was made for me and the way it should've been all along. She doubled checked to make sure the hem was even and the bust fit right. The price was very reasonable. She knows what she is doing and excels at it. I'd go back in the future and there was a regular when I went for the first fitting. Just make sure to have cash. Lastly, I would make sure to call for an appointment since she can get really busy but she will get you in!! She just wants to make sure she has enough time to get it back to you in the time you need. So give yourself a couple of weeks to get it in. Overall, fantastic experience and I'm happy to find a tailor I trust. read more

Very friendly, owner-operated tailor shop. Great attention to detail and very reasonable pricing. I trust the Silver Thread with all of my sewing and tailoring needs. read more

LeAnn is a wonderful steamstress! Her work is amazing. I have trusted her with many pieces of my clothing and my wedding dress. My wedding dress included a bolero, which I wanted to be attached but not permanently. Originally we were going to go with snaps, but LeAnn found that my dress was too heavy to hold together, and so she called me and suggested using "hook and eye" to attach the bolero to my wedding dress. The resulting work was excellent! When I went to pick up my wedding dress after she had steamed it (when we were trying to decide if I wanted to keep my train long or cut the dress so that it was even the whole way around), we had discovered that a button on my bolero was loose. LeAnn said she could/would fix the button and hoop, as well as reinforce the sewing behind all the buttons and hoops. She did this in an hour as I was leaving town to return to Maryland that morning. She is cash/check only, but her work is absolutely worth it! Also, while trying on my dress at one point, I found I had left an important necklace in the dressing room. LeAnn held onto it until I was able to return to pick it up. read more

I took my wedding dress to Silver Thread in March 2012. The seamstress did a wonderful job with my hem and is very friendly, but the price is outrageous. I picked up my dress and thought it fit perfectly at the top (she inserted some padding), but when I got it home and tried it on again I realized that it was too loose when I moved around. I was out of town by that time, so I took it to another seamstress in my area. This seamstress ended up fixing my zipper (which had broken), took in the cups of the dress and took in the sides (which involved removing beading and re-sewing. It still wasn't quite right when I came back to get it, so she put some elastic at the top and had to let out the base of the waist a little (which also required removal of beading). Basically, this other seamstress did way more work on my dress in a timely manner and it turned out beautifully, I paid just over $50. What did I pay at SIlver Thread? $260. Yes, you'll get quality service (for the most part). But you will pay for it. read more

So disappointed! Silver thread has been my go to tailor shop for years for an occasional dress alteration. However, my recent experience was so disappointing. Went in last week and was told my daughters dress could be done for a prom date of May 18, but I'd have to make an appointment for a fitting. I explained what needed to be done and was assured she could handle it in time for the May 18 date. Today when I arrived for the fitting, she explains she can't actually do the alterations in time for the event. What?!? When asked why she scheduled the appointment if she couldn't actually do the work, she tells me she COULD do it for the price of $200 +, if I wanted to pay that. Totally ridiculous. Took my business elsewhere. read more

This place is wonderful. I take a lot of items here to be tailored, and she always does a nice job. Recently I came in with a truly difficult job and knew that I was asking for magic. Bridesmaid dress+weight gain+bodice with a really tough zipper+plus it needed to be taken up significantly and was three layers. I could tell by the look on her face that it wasn't exactly a piece of cake. To add to that, I'd been overwhelmed and procrastinated bringing it in. So again, I was asking for a lot. She did it, she absolutely pulled it off for me. I couldn't be more grateful. When I got to the wedding and saw that the other bridesmaids had enough trouble with their bodices that they had them made into corset tops just so they could get them up (one girl even had her boyfriend cut the ribbons holding it together with a pocket knife before the night was over), I truly understood the magic that Silver Thread worked. My dress fit perfectly, I didn't need help getting the zipper up, and I was perfectly comfortable. Go here, this lady is awesome. read more

I took a very simple wedding dress that needed a few adjustments and first she forgot I was there and then after poking and prodding for a while told me she didn't want to do it. I left extremely disappointed. read more

I highly recommend this place. I was two months away from my wedding so I was desperately looking for a place to alter my dress. I googled and this place pop up. I read the reviews and it was very positive. I went there and the seamstress checked out my dress and gave me a quote. The price seems high to me initially but hey I'm running out of time so I said yes. She had me come back a few times and each time she took her time to carefully measure me and pin up the dress. She also suggested I add three bustles. When I come back to try on my dress I was very very impressed. The dress hugged my body and look so elegant, something that I couldn't see initially because it was two sizes too big. She also added a forth bustle for me and steam it for me without extra charge. She didn't even charge me for the rush order. Love her work!! I think the amount I paid her was really really inexpensive considering the time it took her to carefully measure and take in/hem the dress. If you have time and care about your dress I highly recommend coming to her. You will not be dissatisfied with her work. read more

I love the quality of the work Silver Thread Tailor Shoppe provides. They are very reasonably priced, and have a quick turn around time. The customer service is excellent. I am never disappointed in them! I don't take my clothes anywhere else. We are lucky to have them in the Lansing area! Don't waste your time going anywhere else. read more

Horrible experience!!! Beware! I went in to have my wedding dress hemmed. Two weeks later I returned to retrieve my dress (as per the date on my ticket). The owner could not locate my dress. I saw the bag from afar and went to it. The owner was acting cagey and said she wasn't sure if the work had been completed. She asked me to try it on but given that I didn't foresee this issue I did not bring my shoes with me. I had to drive home and try on the dress. Sure enough- THE WORK WAS NEVER COMPLETED!! Now I was left to find another tailor with a very short time frame before my wedding! Very unprofessional! She even claimed I was lying and made the refund process difficult. Yikes read more

My wedding dress was done on time, but it still fit so poorly at the top that I had to take it to another place to get re-altered.

I took 5 pairs of jeans and a jacket here and they all came out great, highly recommend. The only tailor I'll use.
