Elaine did a great job hemming two dresses for me (one of which was layered) and taking in another…read moreto complement my shape more -- and she did it all in a week, even though I had budgeted nearly two, which was amazing. Yes, my dresses smelled a bit like cigarette smoke when I picked them up, but after airing them out for a day, spraying them with a mix of vodka and water, and then steaming them, they're odor free -- so I personally was okay with this. Elaine's prices were incredibly fair, her work was pristine, and she was extremely timely, so I'd recommend her and would work with her again if I ever find myself w more tailoring needs!

If I was writing this review purely based on the alterations, timeliness and affordable pricing, I…read morewould give it 5 stars. I was in desperate need of quick alterations at the last second to a bridesmaid dress. Elaine completely delivered on that promise, having the dress completed at the most reasonable price I've ever seen for alterations and did a great job, too. Unfortunately, the address listed on this Yelp profile is not the address where I dropped off my dress. I was asked to bring my dress to her house, and I didn't realize until I arrived that the house smelled strongly of cigarette smoke. I went ahead and left my dress, assuming she had a way to make sure that smell didn't get on the dress - she has a 5 star rating after all! I was wrong. When I picked it up, I quickly realized I was going to have to get my dress dry cleaned to remove the smell. I'm disappointed because her prices are amazing, but I can't handle the smoke smell .

Kinokuniya Books is one of the coolest bookstores I have ever visited in Austin. Calling it a…read morebookstore is almost a misnomer...it is so much more. In addition to an incredible selection of Japanese and English-language books, the store is filled with stationery, art supplies, anime merchandise, pens, unique gifts, charms, and all kinds of fun gadgets. Wow, wow, wow! I was completely overwhelmed...in the best possible way. There was so much to see that I had to take three deep breaths, slow down, and explore one aisle at a time. Everywhere I turned, I discovered something new and interesting. I found myself just as captivated by the beautifully displayed merchandise as I was by the books. As soon as I walked in, a friendly staff member greeted me and asked if I was looking for anything in particular. When I replied, "No, I'm just browsing," she smiled and pointed out the store's main sections, making it easy to begin my adventure. Everything I looked at was reasonably priced. Fun, eclectic, non-standard bookstore...

When…read moreI signed up for the lesson I was told to bring everything for my machine so I got everything all packed up and got to the store a little early to get set up. When I walked in a lady showed me to the table in the back so I could set up and so I set my machine up and waited. and waited and waited for over 30 minutes and no one came. There were a number of other ladies talking by the cash register who were all in eye shot but I never got an update on where the teacher was. I packed up my things and left walking in the middle of everyone and none of the employees said a thing. I was looking forward to learning how to properly use my embroidery machine so I could take more embroidery classes but that will not be happening here. I will not be going back. Very disappointing.

I think it's really hard not to leave with something. Parking was a b!tch, not gonna lie but after we circled the block, we got one. The place is huge and I was actually really impressed with each artist's area. The bazaar does a really special job of merchandising the wares in a way that makes them stand out and feel special. The place was packed and while I didn't need anything, I'm planning on going back on Christmas Eve to get some Austin keepsakes since this is my last year in the state. I am on a no buy this year but I would easily find all my gifts here and some for myself too.

Malu was clearly very passionate, creative, and knowledgeable when it came to picking out specific frames and mattings to really make our items pop (she was very patient in allowing us to look through various samples until we found the pefect combinations for each piece). Pricing was super transparent and fair, lead time to get the framing was great especially for being during the holiday season, and Malu was super communicative throughout the process. The shop itself was very warm and welcoming. Malu does a great job of hanging pieces throughout the space so you can get a sense of the options and styles that are available. We will definitely be back for our future framing needs!

A loved one passed away a few months ago. In going through their belongings, I came across an item…read morethat immediately had immense sentimental value for my family and I knew it had to be professionally framed. By chance, I visited Blue Skies Art & Frame shop on the first or second day of its opening. I had not scheduled an appointment and Malu wasn't quite yet ready to be able to serve a walk in. I mentioned I would be leaving town for a month or two that same day so I, unfortunately, would not be able to schedule an appointment around that time. I was very understanding as to why I couldn't be helped but to my pleasant surprise she accommodated me without hesitation. Malu guided me through the process with such patience and positivity that I left knowing my personal item was in the best possible place and in the best possible hands. Malu kept me informed on the progress throughout the process, which I appreciated. After months went by, I finally returned to Austin and her shop. I still remember seeing the finished product for the first time hanging on her wall and immediately being blown away. The frame absolutely exceeded my expectations, and I could not be happier with how it came out. Even though Malu had been busy the months prior getting her business set up, she still remembered how important the item was to me and treated it and me with care to the very last moment. The fact that the frame came out beautifully and my family loves it, is the cherry on top. I'm not one to write reviews, but this is the best framing experience I've ever had, hands down. Malu is a great person, extremely talented, and you can trust her to deliver high-quality work.
