    I am a HUGE FAN. When I lived in LA, I had the very-bestest…read moreof the best alteration person. When I relocated to STL, I checked out the Yelp reviews of all area contenders. Alexandra's didn't have a ton of photos, but the language in previous reviews pointed me in their direction. The shop is co-located with a hair salon. I'm not sure if the hair salon keeps the same hours, but I posted a photo of Alexandra's hours here on Yelp. Double check before heading their way. They work SUPER hard to make alterations to your specifications. They will also make recommendations according to your garment's material(s) and what they have seen work and not work before. They have worked magic on my dresses, taken in jeans, and altered tops, hems, gowns, quilts, and more for me. They truly can do it all. The shop ladies are extremely friendly in a no-nonsense kind of way.....does that make sense? What I mean is - It seems like everyone in the area takes their items there, so they STAY busy. They have to stop working on their current project to help you, so it's usually less chit chat and more, "Go in and try it on." As I write this in 6/2025, I think the current return time os 8/2025. Keep in mind, June is right after prom season and right in the middle of wedding season. If I knew how to sew, I'd apply for part time basic work just to learn more from these ladies. The prices are reasonable. I always pay in cash as a nod to small business keeping more of monies earned. Lastly, check out my pictures of their seasonal "porch display." Most of the garments displayed are remnants of cloth these ladies fashioned into a dress. I KNOW the necklace paired with the winter dress was made with recycled buttons. I'll end how I began, "I'm a HUGE FAN."

    Such accurate and careful tailoring! I have had countless pieces of clothing adjusted to fit just…read moreright there; from formalwear dresses and suits to jeans. There are beautiful artistic cards of past & present Edwardsville landmarks by Larry Siebold to view & buy too. Best of all, you can get your hands on some delicious smiley and sprinkle cookies from Siebold's Bakery!

    Six days prior to leaving the country for my daughter's wedding, I visited Erika's store to have a…read moreblazer's sleeves lengthened. I dropped it off to her on Thursday, 10/9/25, explaining that I was flying out of the country for the wedding the following Wednesday. She accepted the job and assured me that my blazer would be ready on Saturday, 10/11/25, by 12:00 pm, She explained that she was closed on that following Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday of the following week. On Saturday, about a quarter til 12:00 PM, I arrived at the store to discover that the lights were off with no one present. I waited over an hour and made numerous attempts to contact her directly. I called several times, leaving voice messages and text messages, but received no response for over 2 weeks. In summary, I did not receive my blazer for my daughter's special day. I was forced to find something else to wear which was an added stressor for my daughter and family. Today, over two weeks since I dropped my blazer off, I contacted Erika, who finally answered the phone. She informed me that due to limited parking and her inability to walk, the store was closed on Saturday. She never took accountability for failing to reach out to me, only mentioning that she had not checked her messages. She cavalierly mentioned that I could collect the blazer today and pay full price because she "completed the job". With business practices such as this, you might want to consider another seamstress; someone who is accountable for their work and fulfills the job on or before the agreed upon date. Erika displayed a complete lack of communication, unsuitable follow-up, unprofessionalism and inconsideration.

    Finally an excellent seamstress in O'Fallon, IL. Hemmed my dress and attached underskirt perfectly.read more
