    This is how my sleeves looked in ALL of my wedding photos. Horrible work
    Angel R.

    I went to Sylvia based off all her good reviews to have my wedding dress altered. She is based out of her garage in her home. I'm currently pregnant with twins (wasn't planned when I originally bought my dress) and so I had to wait pretty close to my wedding date to get altered due to my belly growing fast. I had an appointment with Sylvia on 11/4 where myself and my bestfriend went in to get our dresses measured for alterations. Here is what I asked for- A sweetheart cut - my neckline was straight across My lace sleeves to be shorter and to be taken in as they were too loose. Sylvia mentioned taking it in at the waist - however I didn't need it but wasn't opposed as she was the "professional" . My wedding was 11-16-24 , she said I could pick up my dress on 11-12. My totally would be $300 cash only - there also is no contract. 11-12 comes and my daughter is sick and I couldn't make it to my appointment, so I sent my bestfriend to pickup our dresses. As soon as I received my dress later that night at around 5pm I tried it on and immediately was disappointed with what was done. The neckline was only cinched with. Few pieces of thread and it was crooked, as well as the lace sleeves were FOLDED and sewed, and one was crooked. I immediately called Sylvia and let her know I was not happy with the work at all and asked if there was some type of refund that could be given as I was leaving for my wedding on Friday and had no time to get my dress fixed. I felt like the $300 that I did pay did not align with the quality of work I received. She called me the next day and left me a voicemail that said "you didn't have anyone to take care of your baby, we had an appointment and you didn't show up" as if my appointment would have changed the outcome of her work or that would even have time to fix my dress. I had text her after receiving the voicemail and our texts are in the photos. She did offer to fix my dress however i had other appointments lined up for my wedding and I was leaving Friday morning and this gave me no time to get my dress fixed as this conversations transpired on Wednesday. In these messages you can see I was willing to pay Sylvia for her time spent on my dress however the $300 I did pay I do not feel like I was given the best quality of work. I wanted Sylvia to work with me in meeting me halfway to make us both happy and she refused and claimed her work was good and her work was done and on time - yes it was done by my pickup time but it was not done correctly. This was bad sloppy work and even worse professionalism on her behalf. I lost $300 and had to wear my wedding dress the way it was. LUCKILY because her work was so cheap I was able to cut the piece of thread that cinched the middle of my neckline to revert it back to the original straight neckline as I liked that better than her work. However the sleeves I could not change and it looked awful in every picture. Beware if you decide to use Sylvia & ask to use card.

    Mrs. Sylvia was a Angel in disguise! She not only altered my dress , but also recommended someone to create a dress for my granny . Her work is unmatched, and it was done to perfection . I was not able to do a last try on due to a scheduling conflict , and had no worries about the quality of her work. She even drew a picture for my mom so she could remember how to bustle my dress the night of . Her pricing was AMAZING. I highly highly highly recommend Mrs. Sylvia!! Thank you a million times over!!!!!

    Perfect fit thanks to Sylvia's Alteration!

    So happy to have found Sylvia's alterations! My dress came later than I expected for my event and I was still able to get it cut and hemmed in time. Thank you!

    I was so lucky to find Sylvia for my wedding dress! I called her with only a week for her to do my alterations and she thankfully was able to squeeze me in with such a short notice. I needed a lot of work done to my lace dress and of course she did a beautiful job and it ended up fitting perfectly! All of the work that I needed and wanted done to the dress ended up costing me $600. Thank you so much Sylvia!

    Pastel pink Selkie dress altered to fit my 5'3" frame.

    I am an entertainer in the gaming industry and was invited to go to the Game Awards in December 2022. I had just over a week to get my new Selkie dress altered for my height and Sylvia was so kind and thorough on making sure it was just the length I wanted it to be. Truly such a kind and genuine person who pays close attention to detail in your garment(s) as well as what you as a person want your desired garment(s) to look like on you. Can't wait to come back to her for more!

    I went on Yelp and ask for a quote for hemming for linen pants. Yelp sent it to multiple businesses. This business replied just to be rude. I can only imagine their customer service.

    Sylvia did a great job altering a few items I purchased online. I will be taking more to her. She is very professional and a kind person.

    Oh my word!! This dry cleaner is the best I've ever been to! I moved from San Diego three years ago…read moreand in these three years I haven't found a dry cleaner I was totally satisfied with until I came to Antelope Dry Cleaners! After they did such an amazing job on cleaning my husband's suits, dress shirts, slacks, etc. I decided to trust them with a an alteration. I've had a red Michael Kors down jacket in & out of my trunk for about a year, it had some kind of ink stains on the collar which was visibly noticeable, regardless of whether I had a zipped up or down.It looked like some of the Michael Kors print on the inside back actually ran onto the jacket! I decided to have them try to fix it. I knew the stain wouldn't come out because it was Ink and it had been there for a long time. It was a down jacket so the outside of it is nylon. I tried many things trying to get it out myself many home remedies even took it to some dry cleaners and they said they couldn't do it so I decided to give Antelope Dry Cleaners a shot with doing an alteration by giving them the little red pouch that the jacket came in which was of the same fabric and I asked if they could just use that pouch and cover up the collar. My husband just picked up the jacket for me today and it looks absolutely amazing! They did an impeccable job! you would never know that they actually use a different piece of fabric and covered over the entire collar. The price was amazing as well. They are truly the best cleaner/alterations I have found in all my adult years! I'm 68 so that says a lot! Scotty, the owner is so sweet & friendly, as is everyone I've met on the entire staff. You can see they take a lot of pride in their business & give great attention to detail. It's a family owned business which I especially want to support. They have our family's business for good! Thank you Antelope Dry Cleaners!

    Friendly service, clean-looking facility. I left a few silk dresses, a sweater and a dress jacket…read morefor dry cleaning, paid up front (about $40) , and I got my clothes when promised. Everything looks good! Pretty good value too, I think. Thank you!
