The nicest and most knowledgeable employees in all haberdashery. Great prices, excellent work and usually a week turn around.

Balli is great got my husbands suit for a wedding altered and she was easy to schedule appt and super fast and the pricing was great. He loved the alterations will def be coming bak ! Highly recommend read more

I found out about this place through a friend. I needed a few things hemmed. They did a beautiful job! The staff are so friendly. The pricing is a bit high but their quality of work is so good that I will continue to go back. read more

If your clothes are worth altering they are worth taking to The Art Alterations! Worth the few extra bucks; I've tried other places and they have royally screwed up just a simple hem. (Specifally- Hope's alterations.) The ladies at the Art Alterations salvaged some damaged materials and were very knowledgeable about their custom fittings. They have turned a mass-produced Burlingtons dress into a work of art that fits me perfectly and have fixed a once ruined vintage dress. Thanks very much ladies! read more

Service was great! They are quick and will continue the job until it's done right! Very kind and catering.

I have been going to Art Alterations for 8 years for all of my alteration and special project needs. If you have extra material left from a dress cut, they will recycle material into a matching wrap! The owner is AWESOME! Extremely detailed with her work and the turn around is beyond reasonable. read more

I was expecting a great experience based on the reviews, but did not have a positive experience at all. I was in a wedding and needed to have my bridesmaids dress made a bit bigger. I called a month before the wedding and the woman I spoke to on the phone told me that would be no problem, I did not need an appointment, and just bring it in a week or so before the wedding. I took it on a Saturday, the week before the wedding. The woman working did not ask me to try it on. She just looked at it and told me nothing could be done because there was no extra fabric. Holding back tears, I asked her my options and she said maybe the seamstress could rip the entire thing apart and do something, so come back Monday to talk to her about that. Overall, the woman was unfriendly and did not seem interested in helping me find a solution. A couple days later, I took the dress somewhere else because I did not want to "rip it apart". They had me try it on (before anything else) and did a beautiful job letting it out with just 3 days to work. They said they had no idea why The Art Alterations said that it could not be done, because it obviously could. I would have saved a lot of stress and tears if I would have just taken it somewhere else to begin with. I would not recommend this alteration service. read more

I found an Armani, made in Italy, jacket at Savers. it fit like it was made for me. SCORE. but I was disappointed to find I can't afford one new ($1300) then I found a jacket at Macy's I liked. but it fit me like a box. I have broad shoulders but I'm not a BIG guy. so when I buy a suit off the shelf, I have to get a large to get into it, but the sleeves and chest are too large. I finally decided to get it fitted. here is how it goes. I went in and she pinned me up. told me the charge would be $84 and would be done in a bit more than a week or so. the charge for shortening the sleeves was $35 so I guess taking in the back and sides was around $50 the jacket was around $100, $85 for seamstress... now I have less than $200 into it and it fits me like the Armani... read more

I was so pleased that The Art Alterations was able to fix my torn fur coat. I was shoveling in the winter storm last year and tore the fur coat I was given. They did an amazing job, in a timely manner, for an affordable price! I highly recommend them and will seek their skill the next time I need a repair or alteration. Thank you so much! read more

I had heard of AA because a friend of mine got her wedding dress altered here a year or two ago when no one else in town was willing to touch it [and the few that were willing to also wanted to charge an arm and a leg] However, Yolanda was not only willing and able to alter said wedding dress, but did it beautifully and for a great price. That in mind, I brought in a bridesmaid dress that I needed altered to have material taken in since I had lost weight after ordering it. Despite that it also needed bodice altering to be able to take it in, Yolanda and her assistants took a look and said that it would be easy-peasy. Sure enough, it was able to be altered in a quick/timely manner and without breaking the bank. She does amazing work, I couldn't even tell where she did the altering! Once I went to pick it up, it fit me perfectly. Everyone involved was/were friendly and willing to help, and did an amazing job. After being told about them, I've already sent a friend to them for her own bridesmaid dress, and will continue to recommend them to anyone and everyone looking to have alterations done. read more

Sad to do this but, after writing a glowing review about the customer service and flexibility of The Art Alterations, I must rescind it all because... they almost ruined my wedding dress. The bodice needed a lot of alterations, and they just messed it all up. The waist of the dress was an inch or two above my waistline, and the straps had been cut too short, preventing the ability of my subsequent seamstress to lengthen them. The hemline was also too long, and super uneven, and the bustle was not centered. It was just ALL wrong, and very unprofessional. I will say, we didn't get to do a second round of alterations, which may have fixed these problem, but I didn't trust them with the dress again. Sounds like lots of people have great experiences here with small alterations, but I cannot recommend them for major alterations to wedding dresses. read more

I went here on a friend's recommendation and I will be forever thankful for her tip! Absolutely loved this place! The ladies were so helpful and kind. I took in a party dress made of a delicate flowy material. It was three sizes too big and they were able to leave it as if it was made exactly for me. Yolanda (the lady that owns the place) was able to make all three alterations in less than 24 hours and she did not add a "next day fee". I had called two places before this one and both told me the dress would be ready in two weeks! These are the prices for some alterations: change back zipper - $34.50 shorten straps - 14.50 shorten (close a bit) v neck -$10.50 I will definitely be a repeat customer!

I'm glad I waited until the garment was finished before posting my review. My leather jacket proved to be a more challenging project than they had anticipated, so my pickup date was pushed back by a week. I was nervous about the final product when they told me that it was more difficult than they thought it would be and needed more time. I've been jerked around before with excuses with other shops, so I didn't have high hopes. But I am happy to report that my worries were for nothing. They did a great job on a sensitive leather alteration, and I'm very thankful they put so much time into it. They hemmed my sleeves (with zippers) and it looks wonderful. Thank you so much for alleviating my nerves and being understanding! read more

I have used this place 4 times now to alter bridesmaids dresses. They have always been nothing short of fantastic!!!!! I had a bridesmaid that flew in from out of the country for my wedding and they did some last minute alterations for her in a day. I love this place and will continue to use them for any alterations I need!!! read more

The Art did a great job with alterations. The place is very bare bones when you walk in. Don't expect to be greeted with wine and a foot rub, but for a no-frills place that is efficient and accurate, I would recommend. read more

I needed my bridesmaid dress taken out and hemmed for my sisters wedding. I had two (yes, TWO) days for that to happen! I've never really needed a seamstress so I was panicking on who to trust... I went to Art Alterations on a whim based off of Yelp reviews, and it was the BEST decision. When I walked in the ladies immediately got me into a dressing room to change, and then got started measuring right away. I dropped off on Wednesday afternoon and the dress was ready by Friday morning. The whole process was so easy and fast. Like, unbelievably fast. And the dress fit PERFECT! I will continue to use them for any future alterations and will recommend them to all! read more

She does a terrific job. Merchant is friendly, and is a true professional tailor - "I never cut anything!" I am very difficult to please in regards to my clothing, and associated services. She is not cheap, but don't skimp when it comes to this stuff. It's worth it. read more

This place is the BOMB. These women are very skilled and I have been happy with everything I have taken here - from very minor tweaks to serious design alterations. Your garments are in for a treat! read more

Go see Yolanda at The Art Alterations on South Congress, across the street from SoCo lofts. She has over 20 years tailoring and alterations experience. She has done simple hems to Bridal Alterations for me and does a great job at good prices too! read more

I took my formal dress in for a small but tricky (to me) alteration. I had to lengthen the straps, which they were able to do and even found matching fabric to create a seamless look and better fit. They finished by their deadline (in just a few days), and the price was great! So happy that this place is in my neighborhood so that I finally checked them out! read more

I came here over a year ago and meant to write a review because of the fantastic service I got from them. I needed a bridesmaid dress hemmed within a few days and they were able to do it. When I arrived to pick it up I tried it on, and the way the dress fell on me I needed the length a little shorter. They agreed and helped assure me it shouldn't be too long. I thought I would have to pick it up another day but they knew I was rushed and insisted on fixing it immediately! I waited in my car 10 minutes and it was perfect!!! Quality was good as well! Felt very comfortable with the process! read more

Went to drop off a dress to get taken in, they basically took my arm hold and made it smaller so I can't move my left arm and itching was done to the waist what we discussed. So they were nice and re altered it still looks bad and the armhole is too small, charged me $63 after I complained. Also didn't care that I was not fulfilled. Wouldn't recommend this place Lydia's Alterations is better close by Brodie. read more

I purchased my wedding dress at David's Bridal and of course they had promised me that it would not need any alterations. Yeah right!!! Dress showed up and needed an additional $300 in alterations. Out of principal, I refused to give David's Bridal the business so I went in search of someone local to do the work. I took my dress to The Art Alterations and they did an amazing job for a fraction of the cost quoted by David's Bridal. I only had to do one fitting because they did such great work and they were finished with it BEFORE the original date they quoted me. If you are looking to support a local business, get great quality work at great prices, I highly recommend taking your garments to The Art Alterations. Thanks ladies for everything you did for me!!! read more

I'm so, so impressed with this place! They were willing to help me on a quick timeline, and the price was so affordable! I highly recommend this place! They are a gift to Austin! read more

I needed a couple of jeans hemmed since they came in only one length. They did a great job, were very friendly and the price was right.

Did a great job on my bridesmaid dress. However, pricey if you're looking for simple alterations. I had a dress hemmed and it fell out within a week. read more

Picked up my wedding gown today after the final fitting. From start to finish the entire process was flawless. Caroline listened to every request and executed each one perfectly. The dress fit like a glove and the intricate lace didn't cost me an arm and a leg. I was so nervous to have my dress altered and I could not be more pleased with the outcome. Thank you for taking extreme care of me and my dress. I will be brining all my business to you. read more

I took in a jumper that I had purchased for my daughter that was too long in length. The staff was very welcoming and friendly. They fitted my daughter, and the end result was absolutely spot on. The jumper was originally long sleeve, but my daughter wanted it to be a short sleeve. I sought advice about how much to take off. I am not an expert, so I left it up to Maria. My daughter is extremely pleased with the end result. We will definitely be taking in all of our alterations to The Art Alterations from now on. read more

Amazing job on my wedding dress. First time here and won't be my last. Very reasonable price and very friendly staff!

Took my bridesmaid dress in 1 week before a small wedding I attended and the staff was very friendly, accommodating, and very helpful in suggestions on the alterations. I thought I would have to pay a rush fee having to pick it up within a week, but they let me know there would be no rush fee and it was even finished a day early. They are also selling really cool masks that they made for $6. Would definitely recommend! The dress turned out amazing as well. read more

I had a dress hemmed and another one's straps repaired. For the second one, they had to open up the lining to sew it. After picking up my garments, I noticed that both were so perfectly altered that I couldn't even tell where the repairs had taken place! read more

This place was absolutely awesome! I was in my first wedding and had NO idea where to go or how to get my dress altered. The whole process was fast and easy and completely hassle free. The woman who did my alterations was very precise to make sure everything fit comfortably. The dress was ready in 5 days and I was able to come today to pick it up. They gave me a call to let me know they needed a little more time to finish up the final touches (literally just an additional hour) and when I came in it was all ready to go. Fit PERFECTLY! They were so sweet and even did the extra mile to steam it to make sure it looked great for my friends wedding. I could not be more grateful for them and the service they provided. The cost was incredibly reasonable. If you need anything altered, consider the Art Alterations. You will NOT be disappointed! read more

Outstanding customer service. My BF ripped his very expensive sports coat at a bar and I dropped it off here to be altered. 2 weeks passed and he moved and he forgot to pick it up!!! I called the office frantic we had just lost a $600 coat and the very kind lady agreed to mail it the same week to SC. I cannot express how grateful we are!!! Thank you! read more

The best of the best. Etelvina worked with me until I was completely satisfied. Don't waste your time elsewhere. Will be coming back!

Great work! I dropped off my bridesmaid dress to be hemmed and altered. They had me pinned up and done with the fitting in minutes and had it done with in a week and it fits perfect! You can't even tell I had it hemmed! read more

Had my wedding dress altered with Art Alterations. Made a wonderful recommendation for a petticoat. Work was just as expected, beautifully done, and on time. Highly recommend. read more

Great service and reasonable prices. I came here to get a sleeveless dress altered. The arm holes were too big and the cloth was puckering around the shoulders. When I came back to pick the dress up, I tried it on in the shop. It was mostly fixed, but the cloth was still puckering a bit. The lady behind the desk offered to adjust it right then and there. They had it fixed within a few minutes! I'll happily come back here next time I need alterations done. read more

I took a dress here to get a couple inches cut off it. They did a fantastic job with the hemming so I took it home and tried it on with the outfit I had bought the dress for, I decided it wasn't the length I had hoped for so I took it back the next day to express my concern and they were so kind. They took the dress back and told me they would fix it without charge. I was treated so well--I will definitely be bringing back all of my clothes in need of an alteration. Highly recommend them! read more

I've been taking my bridesmaides dresses here and Love it. The women are super friendly and efficient. They are timely and always give me a call when my garments are ready. I will continue to bring them my business! read more

I highly recommend this place for all you alteration needs! I had a pair of bell bottoms and bridesmaid dress altered at the same time and both turned out absolutely perfect. read more
