I took my mother of the bride gown to The Sewing Center on S Rice on Mar 13, 2026 and my daughter's wedding was on.Mar 28, 2026 (exactly two weeks later). My daughter researched and found this gem for me. Kiku was very friendly, professional and very experienced. She has been in business for over 40 years. She kept her promise and was able to deliver excellent results in 9 days. My gown had to be taken in on both sides of the bodice and dress had to be shortened. I was given a second fitting before the alternations were finalized. Kiku had to remove the embroidery on both sides of the bodice before taken it in and then put the embroidery back afterwards. All alternations were done perfectly. The price l paid for the job was very reasonable. I highly recommend Kiku at The Sewing Center to anyone who appreciate excellence! Thanks again Kiku. read more

Took some pants in for alterations (take in waist) and they were ready in about 2 weeks for $35 dollars. Lovely owner and support staff. They stay fairly busy as evident by the traffic in and out and huge amount of orders inside but the work is quality. read more

While I agree that the owner is a very pleasant person, she is just very busy. My items were promised in a week. One item was complete, the other hadn't been started. Went back as requested, one item was not altered correctly. I finally had both items 2 weeks after my first visit. I also feel I was overcharged for the work that was done. She fitted my items (pinned) while alternating servicing another client. Then she added up the ticket and seeing no price list posted, I was surprised at the cost. I felt I didn't have a choice to decline her services. Will keep looking for another alteration place. read more

Kiku did a phenomenal job on my wedding dress! The length and bustle was perfect and she didn't jeopardize any of the lacing in the process. It turned out exactly as I had hoped for. She communicated well and stayed on schedule which was highly appreciated! read more

I went recently for a bridesmaid dress alteration and it turned out perfectly! Highly recommend!!

I had to take two bridesmaids dresses in for different alterations and had never worked with a tailor before. The Sewing Center came highly recommended by a coworker who had been using them for decades and now I know why. They did an amazing job with both dresses, and for a price that was fair and affordable considering the amount of work. I'm very happy with the results and would definitely come back again. read more

Kiku is the BEST!! I've been going to her for 14years! I've moved 45minutes away, I'm still going back to her for the most simple and for complicated alterations! Scrubs, She makes it perfect! She is honest and extremely helpful in guiding decisions that work best for her clients! There maybe a wait, but like any quality, exceptional service and experiences there SHOULD Be! She takes the appropriate amt of time that is lead by the customer and not rush them. You leave and come back KNOWING it will turn out great! and not have to worry about being disappointed. read more

Super friendly! Loved her! Got my pants hemmed from the bottom Bc they were too long on me. Took about a week for my pants to be done & it was like 12 pairs , it was $12 for each pant which to me was really cheap! Definitely going to be coming back read more

The owner is a nice lady but this is a busy establishment. That normally would be a good sign but not so much for me. I took a new skirt to be hemmed and tapered and was not pleased with the initial results. After waiting a week for the final product, when I originally went to try on my skirt it was not well done. Fortunately, the owner was gracious enough to re-do the alterations at no additional charge. On the second attempt, the alterations were done well. However, there was still chalk dust and stray strings and lots of lint all over the skirt when I picked it up. Considering it was $35 to taper and hem a skirt, I expected the end result to look crisp and be clean. read more

I decided to give this place a try after reading some reviews, and I am very happy! I got a dress altered, and it seemed difficult and expensive to do (lined, zipper 3/4 down the back with a collar that has a button with loop) I thought the price was good for the amount of work, and it was cheaper than the other place I was going. Oh and she was very friendly! 5 stars all around read more

Kiku does great work for a reasonable price. She has a good eye for what will make your garment look it's best. I bring her clothes by the bagful for alterations and repairs and have always been very pleased with her work. read more

She could've easily taken my money but her suggestion was to not have my dress altered as it fit well.

They did a nice job. I'm out of touch with alterations but I thought $15 to hem pants was a bit spendy and a week turn around was a bit longer than I would have liked. I'll price shop some next time but I'm pleased with the work they did. read more

I got two gowns altered (hemmed a few inches) for 30 dollars per gown which isn't the cheapest in the area and I thought was on the high end (given I bought those dresses on sale for $70/each). The seamstress did do a good job (hemming was even and professional). I also got a few buttons placed, a strap fixed, and some other minor work and that was $5 per garment. The seamstress has over 40 years experience and I think if you are looking for a moderately priced, good quality work this is a good option. read more

Kiku is a sweet woman and she and her team do a fantastic job with altering dresses. I bought an expensive gown for a black-tie event and was very nervous to have it altered because I feared they'd mess it up. It wasn't a simple job, but Kiku didn't seem phased and her alterations were PERFECT! Many thanks to the previous yelpers that left reviews and helped me find this place. It's definitely my go-to place for alterations now! read more

This woman is a Miracle Worker! She resurrected a jean jacket that had definitely seen better days. About 1/4 of the back had come apart due to wear and tear. She patched the area and it looks good as new! I will definitely be sending all my tailoring or repair to her! She does wedding alterations and other things as well! Fantastic find. Support local businesses! read more

No one beats Kiku when it comes to top-notch tayloring and experience. Good prices too, and very pleasant. She's a perfectionist, a real pro! read more

Kiku is the best! I had a cold-shoulder dress that I bought thinking it would be perfect without the holes on them since I absolute dislike the cold-shoulder dress trend so I went to different tailors and they told me that they couldn't do anything but make it sleeveless, which I did not want. I took in my dress and she said it would be done by the next day and when I picked it up, it was PERFECT. Not expensive at all and the work is great, I recommend this place to anyone read more

The Sewing Center - I love it! Thank you! - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Bellaire, Texas

I took my dress pants here for a quick alteration on the length and the saddle under the foot. They were very sweet, did an excellent job and best of all, incredibly cheap! Kiki takes care of you. read more

Took my wedding dress to Kiku after I was told the alteration job was too difficult (delicate lace, beading, mesh, appliqués to deal with, etc.) by someone else. Bringing it in I was worried that I had found a dress that was impossible to alter. But Kiku works miracles. Now, the dress now fits like a glove and I can't wait to wear it on the big day! read more

Kiku's prices are just as amazing as she is. You cannot miss the bright pink building. Support little mom and pop shops. Their quality of service is alot more authentic than franchises. read more

I'll be back with all my clothes! The woman that runs the place is very nice and personable, she's customer centered, and she really cares that you like your alterations. Most recently I brought in 4 pairs of pants for hemming and a few other fixes. I had them back in one week and they are PERFECT. She also has great rates, what more can you ask for?! read more

This place has been around forever without any advertising and it is easy to understand why. Great service, great prices and quality work! Had to get some of my suits taken in and they did the job at a rate cheaper than buying whole new suits! read more

Fantastic service! I had to get my whole wardrobe altered (at least that's what it feels like) and I have never had this service before. I was nervous and unsure about what exactly I was doing, but the owner was very polite and made the process very painless for me. She was very patient with me and I tried on ALL of my suits so she could get the exact measurements she needed for the alteration. Would recommend to anyone in the area! read more

Excellent service and great price. My dress looked fabulous! My alterations were completed in a very timely fashion. Overall very happy with my alterations and plan to return. read more

Came here as soon as it opened on a Monday morning. I had 2 items that I needed altered. One was a skirt that was flared out too much on the sides, so I needed it to be brought in a little, the other was a top that originally had 1 pocket on each side & I didn't like the pockets so I cut them out myself thinking you wouldn't be able to tell but it left 2 big holes, so I needed them sewn shut. They told me to come back the following Monday but I could not wait that long for the skirt because I needed it later that same day. They told me they would help me out & have it done by the end of the day for me! I said I could wait on the top, but when I came back at 3pm they had both of my items finished & they did a good job! Reasonably priced also. I will def be coming back to have a few pair of my jeans altered. (I'm short) lol. Also, the building is pink & super cute! Loved the little "ring the door bell" sign at the entrance. Made it feel homey. The 3 ladies I spoke with that day were all nice, friendly & helpful. read more

The very nice ladies at this shop have done an exceptional job with the alterations I brought in. Highly recommend

Sent in a pair of wranglers to get cropped and tapered. Beautifully done and extremely efficient. Loving this work. A staple of Bellaire!

Wonderful people and fantastic service. They really know what they are doing! This is the only tailor you need to know in the Greater Houston area!! read more
