Highly recommend! Dideh does an exceptional job and is very fast. Alterations are fairly expensive, but worth it for the high-quality. :)

Quotes me $20 for two tiny sews to keep a sleeve rolled up. Another tailor did the job for $5.

I needed a quick turnaround, somewhere close by, and someone that would do a great job. Enter Bali…read moreand her kind heart. Pros: - Fast responses - Flexed pick-up/drop-off times - Listened well - Accepts Venmo Side Notes: - Expedited fee for rush jobs - Plan ahead if you can - Missing buttons on a tux jacket - Needed reinforcement (buttons) - She no longer offers dry cleaning Summary Heading out of town on a last-minute trip, I noticed that I was missing buttons on one of the tux jackets I was planning on wearing. I only had a few days to go, so I called Bali, and she said she could do it but didn't have buttons that she knew of to do the job. I instructed her that I would buy some via Amazon and then bring it over to her. In parallel, she was looking for some buttons and found some a day later! My buttons came in a bit delayed the next day, but she still found the time to do it, called me in the morning, and told me she'd come out to deliver it directly to my car. I have yet to do extensive alternations, but she knows what she is doing from the other reviews. If you need someone up North Austin, she's one to call. I'll go to her again when I need something, but hopefully, I'm not in a rush next time!

Ms. Bali was responsive, expert, fast and fairly priced. She makes an in-home business feel…read moreprofessional, accepts Venmo, and goes the extra mile. Feels like you have made a friend by the time your project is complete to your satisfaction!

Overall not a great experience with this business and they did not treat me professionally…read more - The tailor is decently skilled, but his limited ability to speak English created some miscommunications and confusions - The tailor brought the dress shirt in too tight around chest, which created a bulge at the buttons, and I had to return to the shop four more times before the bulge was reduced to an almost acceptable level, though not completely - The tailor is not the owner of the shop, and the owner was never present. I had a lot of difficulty trying to get in touch with her to find a good solution for my tuxedo. She ignored calls and texts for days at a time. This was after I had already paid for the work - The price of the work was on the high end, and I feel for the quality of work and experience there are tailors that charge much less - The owner gave me her word that she would reimburse me for having another tailor adjust the shoulder seam without shortening the sleeve length, which could not be done with her tailor. After bringing in the coat with amended shoulders and an invoice, she went back on her word and refused to reimburse me. She claimed the other tailor (a reputable one) didn't make the adjustment at all. Even after I was able to confirm with her tailor it was adjusted, just in a different way than he expected Pictured is the bulge that remained in my shirt after 5 trips to the shop to get it right. I would recommend spending your money and time on another tailor for a better experience.

A little expensive, but she does good work. Absolutely rescued a pair of jeans for me.read more

This place can be great, but be careful- there's a major language barrier. Don't bring in anything…read moreyou couldn't stand to see altered in a way you wouldn't like. I always get holes in the knees of my jeans, which didn't matter until I started buying more expensive jeans. I'd get maybe one pair a year which would typically last longer. But they'd still eventually wear out and get holes in the knees. My wife eventually asked me to throw them out, but I discovered this place which went to heroic lengths to patch up anything. The results looked kind of messy but also cool. That was all well and good. But for the past two years I've taken exceedingly good care of the last pair of jeans I bought. For instance, I always make sure to pull them up to add some slack to the knees when I sit down so I won't stress the fabric there. In spite of my efforts the other day I noticed a very tiny hole had started to form (not even big enough to stick my finger through). I decided to be proactive about it and take them to Velma's before the problem got worse. They say a stitch in time saves nine, right? I'm crestfallen because for some reason Vilma's Tailor Shop sewed giant patches in BOTH knees of these otherwise perfect looking jeans (tangent: to be fair there was a knick- but not quite a hole - around the other knee; however I didn't ask them to fix that problem at all!). There's now this noticeable line of stitches in a boring 10x6 inch box pattern on the outside that make the jeans look weird, like I had them bedazzled. That's always a risk of patching up jeans, but I didn't ask for a patch in them at all- I just wanted a simple stitch! I also got a previous pair fixed and some of the patches were smaller- like 6 x 3.5 inches. So if they could've used a smaller patch, why didn't they? These were easily my favorite pair of jeans and now they look so stupid. I don't have the money to buy a new pair right now but that's all I've been able to think about since returning home. I don't understand why a tiny problem had to be addressed with a huge alteration. It's not intuitive. However they don't have great English skills here and I'm wondering if maybe when I was warned and accepted this somehow so its on me. I tried very hard to talk with her to just let her know I was disappointed, but it was impossible to communicate the subtleties even with the help of Google translate. I'm only knocking one star off my review because I feel like good people are working here and they try their best, and this was mostly a communication problem. I can't help but feel responsible because I dropped them off and had issues communicating in the first place. In hindsight I never should have handed them my best pair of jeans but did because I'd had good experiences in the past and didn't think they'd do something so bizarre . If you've read my warnings and follow them it will be a five star experience.

Alterations to Go will do a fine job hemming your jeans for the super low price of $8. That's no…read moretypo. Eight bucks. Says so right on the giant window cling at the front of the store, which faces a Dollar General and Big Lots in the faded strip center that time forgot - same dingy block where Asia Market and Ann's Kitchen Cakes are located. I had snagged an awesome pair of fancy Penguin brand jeans at Ross, original MSRP $128, Ross bargain price $19.99. Yay for bargains! The fit was fantastic, but as with most designer jeans on my 62 inch frame, the length was about 10 inches too long. If only clothing makers would realize that most human females are not built like the specimens on America's Next Top Model.... It took Alterations to Go only 2 days to complete my job, and that was on a holiday week. I asked that the original "designer" hem be replicated and was promised that it would be, but when I went to pickup the pants, a wrong colored thread had been used. I pointed this out to the tailor/manager (who was not the same person I spoke to when dropping off); he apologized and offered to replace the thread with one that was close to the original, as they did not have that exact color in jean-strength thread. The jeans were ready within 24 hours and the hem looked great. Even though I had to wait an additional day, I will use ATG again & recommend them to petite friends for hem work. The customer service response to my problem was excellent and the $8 price can't be beat. Just know that you have to be sure to check the work when you pickup, and don't be afraid to ask for a do over if you don't like the work the first time around.

Hands down best place I have found in Austin so far. I have had a ton of work done here and it is…read morealways top notch. You pay for good work but its worth it if you want to look good. Things done - Jean hem Suit jacket alternated to fit me (nothing off rack fits) Pants taken in
