    Top: rip in the seam Bottom: patched up!
    Yara E.

    This spot was recommended to me by someone who works in a local boutique I frequent. They've got great style, so I knew that if this is where they get their pieces tailored, then I've struck gold. This repair was done on April 2023: My favorite pair of overalls had torn right down the bum crack one day in a clumsy accident, and I just couldn't let it go, so I wanted to see if they'd be able to patch it up. I wish I could remember what I paid (I did cash), but it couldn't have been more than $20. They had a load of garments to work on, so I had to return about 5-6 days later, but I wasn't in a rush. When I did come back, it was an easy trip. I had no issues finding parking out front, and I don't recall anyone being helped before me. So I was in and out quickly. I was so pleased with the job that I decided to test another repair on a denim jacket whose leather sleeve had come apart in the armpit. I didn't have high hopes for this one, but it was as good as new when I returned the next week. Luckily, I had taken a before photo since I knew I wanted to compare the repair job to that. At some point during my drop-off, it sounded like the tag attached to my jacket didn't match the receipt slip, so the woman at the desk had to call the other person who did my repair to find out where my jacket was. I was a little concerned but so thankful I had the photo on my phone to share as a reference. That mix-up has yet to deter me, though. I have another pair of jeans with a hole I'm hoping to take in soon.

    Took a leather skirt here that needed some mending and also as a test run to see if they could be my new tailor. Did I have an old tailor? No, but I always save clothes thinking I will take them to the tailor to give them a second life, and that pile just got out of control so I finally did something about it in December. Skirt was easy enough and they did a good job. I have no idea if the price was comparable to other tailors since I've never really gone consistently to any and/or had the same item fixed elsewhere. The odds were ever in their favor for me becoming a repeat customer, though, as upon picking up the skirt, a fellow customer told me that he makes the trip monthly from San Marcos because the ladies are that good. So, armed with that and my first easy breezy skirt experience I took them a dress that honestly I thought was a goner. A Free People dress that had been purchased in the summer and then subsequently torn apart by my dog before ever having the chance to wear it (tag still on). He ripped all the small buttons out and frayed the fabric pretty bad in the front and on one sleeve. I presented them the dress, along with the sob story and waited for them to laugh me out. They didn't, but they did say that I needed to find more buttons like the ones on the dress and bring both back and they could prob make it work! Hallelujah! (The buttons were not easy to come by and when I did bring both back, they were too big!). Instead of just letting me walk away without a solution, one of the ladies inspected it thoroughly and Tim Gunned the shit out of the situation. She was like, I can take the buttons from the sleeve and put them on the front (along with the salvaged buttons the dog only mildly chewed) and just stitch up the sleeves. I was baffled at that the creativity (and sheer wizardr that would require) and even moreso when I went to pick it up that IT WORKED (see photos). I had a wearable dress that didn't look at all like it had been through war with a canine and lost. They do make you pay first (the dress was $54, I think), which was a little more worrisome for the Frankenstein job because I wasn't sure what I would get back - if anything for that price - but now I have faith that these ladies can do anything thrown at them. I never remember to do it, but they also have a 10% off check-in offer on Yelp. Moral of the story...before you throw anything out because you think it's past its expiration date or destroyed, take it here!

    Great service, have never had mistakes come out and tailored three items. Comes out within a week. Somewhat pricy but gets the job done.

    Really, really expensive. The work was well done but definitely not worth what they charge.

    They were able to tailer my pants same day. They charge a small fee but it's well worth it. Highly recommended.

    I brought a vest in to have a couple of large patches sewn on. The Art Alteration does fantastic work.
