Eileen is amazing!! I picked up my wedding gown today and it is everything I dreamed of and more. She listened to every request I had and made it perfect. She is so sweet and very fairly priced. She takes her time which can make people nervous - it made me nervous - but she will get it done I promise!! Cannot recommend her enough! I can't wait to send her a picture from our big day! read more

Eileen is amazing and her work is fantastic! She is kind, professional, and detail oriented. Highly recommend!

Eileen is amazing. The quality of work she does and attention to detail is second to none.

Eileen is AWESOME!!!! I adore her! She is one of the best tailors I've ever had. She actually has a degree in fashion design from FIT! She is lovely and sweet, and caring. She is very reasonably priced, especially for her level of expertise and her ability to literally rework a garment. Highly, highly recommend! read more

I went in to see Eileen around 5pm on a Friday and she was so much fun to work with and extremely knowledgeable. We talked about everything from letting go of my seams on the sides, altering my hems, and of course making sure that my train was secured by showing me different styles of the train bustles. She'll take all the time she needs to explain different reasons as to why the bustle needs to be adjusted in a certain way and work with you to ensure that you're happy with everything. We also had a good chat about weddings and families and it made the process so much more personable. I almost felt like I was talking to one of my closest friends! I'm definitely looking forward to going again for my second fitting! FYI- they are open Mon-Sat. The only day they are closed is on Sunday. Don't go by what google says on their hours! I just went on the site and requested an edit to their hours. Monday-Saturday (10am-5:30pm) read more

See all

I CANNOT say enough good things about this place. I'm sooooo happy to have found them. Eileen has an eye of perfection. I'm shocked to see a review about the prices!!!! I have been to many alteration businesses in the city and around Ffld county....hands down, this is most reasonable for PERFECT work. Grateful and happy. I'm done looking! Customer for life. read more

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. EILEEN YOU ARE MY HERO! Not only is she an absolute pleasure to chat with, but she is just so skilled and never says no to any clothing request - she always finds a way to make something work. She tolerated my 7+ visits for my wedding gown until it was perfect, and over a year later, found a way to make a fitted, mermaid style bridesmaid dress work my big baby bump. She is a miracle worker and so smart and savvy. So glad to know her! :) read more

Eileen is incredible - I felt a lot of stress as a Pandemic bride, but Eileen made the whole experience feel special and important even though many of my plans were adjusted and involved a mask. She's is a master at what she does and just a really good person. So glad she was a part of my wedding story. read more

My cousin recently brought her wedding dress to Eileen for alterations after purchasing from Bhldn. The process could not have been easier and we left so happy every time we saw Eileen and her mom for a fitting. The dress was absolutely stunning for my cousin's wedding day. Thanks Southport Alterations! read more

Eileen did a phenomenal job tailoring a long dress with a complicated cut for the ceremonial part of my daughter's quinceañera, and then completely reconstructing another one of the same dress as a short version with asymmetrical hemline for the dance party. Her professionalism, cheerful disposition and hilarious anecdotes made the experience a pleasure. read more

Eileen is a LEGEND! I personally traveled from NJ for her incredible talent. My dress needed quite a bit of alterations due to my shorter height and let me tell you, no one was even able to pick up on the modifications made. She made the experience seamless and enjoyable. Plus her personality is everything, I want to grab cocktails with her haha! read more

I was recommended by store BHLDN to take my dress here. But this place is a joke, overpriced! It cost more than my dress so I took it somewhere else. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. Just to shorten your dress, this lady will charge you an arm and a leg. Such a rip off! read more

Eileen is so talented. She did the alterations for my wedding dress, my sister in law's dress and my mother in laws dress. They are reasonably priced, fair, honest, and timely. read more

Southport alterations is an amazing place. Eileen was such a pleasure to work with throughout the ensure process of alterations on my wedding dress. She took the time to discuss every detail of concern and how we could fix it. She was deliberate in her work to ensure "measure twice and cut once" and I was completely happy with everything that was done. She made the impossible possible on the front of my dress that I wanted sewn together. She was concerned about it altering the dress or tearing the fabric, she was honest about that. But by shear talent and ability, she made it happen. She was professional and accommodating throughout and worked within my budget to make my changes happen. She was a complete delight to work with. I will only bring all future alternations to her, even though she is an hour drive. She is worth it! Thank you Eileen! read more
