It has been a positive experience for me with Sew Padre Alterations. Prices have been disclosed in…read moreadvance in writing. I took Rebecca five pairs of work/suit pants in July 2026. They needed to be hemmed and some of them needed to be taken in. I've only worn one of the pair so far, but it fits wonderfully. I did try on the rest of them on there so I don't expect any problems. The date that they would be ready for pick up was also clearly communicated to me. She did accommodate later times for me when she could pin the pants on me, after my work hours, and also a time for me to pick them up when finished, after my work hours. I have since dropped off a suit jacket that she pinned and so I'll update my review after I receive it back. The arms on my jacket are too long and she is shortening them for me. Yes, I recommend Sew Padre Alterations.

I want to start by saying that the alterations to my wedding dress were done very well. In the end,…read moreI was happy with the finished product. My concerns are not about the quality of the workmanship, but rather about the overall customer experience. After it was explained that I would be driving more than four hours from another city for my scheduled appointment, I received a text about an hour before my arrival--when I let her know I was an hour away--asking if I could move my 11:00 a.m. appointment to noon. Although it was inconvenient, I agreed, found something to do nearby, and didn't make an issue of it. When I arrived, however, she seemed to have forgotten that I was the bride. That immediately made me feel uneasy. I then changed into my gown in a very cramped area that was difficult to navigate, especially since I'm not a small person and my dress has a long train. Despite that, we discussed all of the alterations, and everything seemed to be moving forward. As I was leaving, I was informed that fittings lasting longer than 10 minutes incurred an additional $25 fee. While I wasn't thrilled to learn that after the fact, she spent a considerable amount of time with me and came highly recommended, so I agreed to pay it. The following day, I received a text explaining that she had misplaced my original ticket and forgotten to take a photo of it. We had to go over all of the alteration details again so she could create a new ticket. When she did, I noticed an additional charge that hadn't been on the original. I pointed it out, and she corrected it, but by then I was becoming increasingly concerned about how disorganized the process seemed. Another concern was the changing completion date. During my appointment, I was told my dress would be ready around mid-July. On the replacement ticket, however, the timeframe had changed to late July or early August. Since my wedding isn't until October, I accepted the change. I later explained that I would already be in town at the end of August and asked if the dress could be ready then. Instead of confirming, I was told she couldn't commit and that I should contact her a few days beforehand to "see what we could work out." Given the distance I had to travel, this uncertainty only added to my anxiety. Eventually, I had my wedding coordinator reach out on my behalf to see if arrangements could be made. I was then asked to make a separate special trip in late July for the final fitting. Because I had become so anxious about the entire experience, I decided to skip the final fitting altogether and pickup my dress as-is. As a result, there were a few minor details left unfinished when I picked up my dress. Unfortunately, I was still charged for those unfinished alterations. I was later offered a refund for those specific charges, but only if I agreed not to leave a negative review. That was the most disappointing part of my experience. Offering a refund in exchange for withholding an honest review felt unprofessional and inappropriate. While I truly appreciate the quality of the alterations themselves, professionalism, organization, and communication are just as important when entrusting someone with such an important garment. For those reasons, I cannot personally recommend this business.

I noticed that she alters the coronation dresses based on some pictures she has in her shop so I assumed she must know what she is doing. I mentioned to her that I needed my wedding dress early because I was moving. She might have taken that to heart because I am incredibly disappointed with her work. The dress was taken up with little concern for how it fit and when I asked her to fix it she carelessly made it worse. The job is incomplete and I'm now scrambling 2 months before my wedding to find someone to fix it in my new town. Luckily there is a wonderful woman with 20+ years of wedding dress experience here.
