    Turned this gown into a high-low for me, and i loved it!
    Tamara H.

    I'm surprised at all the bad reviews. Had a birthday gown that needed to be taken in. I googled places and thought this would be a good one. My sister and I took my dress and had it done told me it would be $55 when I pick up. It wasn't Cheryl that time, but this time it was, and again I came here with my maid of honor dress just to turn it into high-low...came out awesome!! Can't wait til wear it in Sunday. I don't see anything wrong with the prices, but people have their preferences.

    Cheryl always does a great job, from simple hemming to fitting jackets and my daughter's wedding gow.

    Good work and very nice to deal with. I've had several pairs of pants hemmed for a very fair price. Definitely recommend.

    I did not realize how bad it looked till I saw it later in pictures. Enough said.

    Cheryl is very skilled and easy to work with. I've gotten pants hemmed and jackets altered there. Excellent service.

    Can't say enough great things about this place. I was in a serious pinch with just a week till my…read morebrother in laws wedding and needed some last minute alterations. They got me in that same day to do a quick measurement and it only took a few days. The fit looked great and saved me a couple hundred bucks from needing a new suit. Will be my go to spot for tailoring moving forward.

    This is a tiny local shop I used them many years ago I for hems on my denim. I decided to try them…read moreonce again for a evening gown for a gala. I dropped it in about 2 and a half weeks maybe 3 werks in before the event and ample time to do the alterations. I needed a hem, the straps that needed to be taken in to adjust to arms theyhad gem stones on top of straps. Also a bead on front of waist needed to be sewn. When I went to pick up the dress i paid the owner if I remember correctly it was like $125. I opened it up when i got to my car and i noticed the straps were not flat and in fact thick and lumpy with lowsy stitching where uou could see the thread. The gems were not removed! The top seam of the strap was opened and one end of strap was tucked under with the gem stones and then tucked on ans then a hand sew. I went back to the shop immediately. He said we couldn't get the sewing machine over the gems aaaaaah hellooooo.... A good alterations specialist would know to remove the gems first to stitch properly with a machine otherwise it will not lay flat. I demanded a partial refund at least for my troubles and having to come back. He gave me like $20 back. When I picked it up and took it home the straps will still slightly loose where thry could fall down if wrong move. The hem was great. The one bead on front waist was not sewn. I should of taken before pics. The dress has a small fitting room which is a make shift fitting room with lots of clothes back there one metal folding chair it has an acordian type door or it was a curtain separating the long section for sewing tabes and ftont counter. It seems the owner is the only one who speaks English.

    My mother was gifted a blanket by her late sister over two decades ago. The blanket was so loved…read moreand used that it become frayed to irreparable. My mother instructed me to discard it because it was completely unusable. But I kept it, since I knew deep down it was an irreplaceable item to her/us. Currently, my mother is battling end-stage liver disease and currently is in the hospital. She is in quiet discomfort, understandably, so. I thought if I can do anything for my mom, it was to gift her something that would mitigate her duress and pain. My mothers imminent death is tentative, ergo I immediately called the first place I saw on Yelp. I explained the situation and they were more than happy to help even if the task of fixing the blanket seemed impossible. With alacrity "All Fit Tailoring and Alterations" took the decayed blanket and gave it new life. When I presented it to my mom today it brought her so much ease and "loved it". Seeing her peaceful after a long time was a priceless moment. Thank-you for taking me on as a client, being efficient and altering my mothers blanket with so much care. Her favorite part of the blanket was the floral purple trim (I told them purple was my moms favorite color). You guys are truly a Godsend. Perpetually grateful

    This tailor does charge a bit more on the expensive side. However, very reliable work. Everything…read morethey have altered for me has turned out perfect. I never worry when I drop something off with them. They also understand current style and can give good advice on alterations so things still look modern. I recently moved further away from Back Bay. I found a local tailor who ended up ruining a simple pant hem. Ended up coming back to this tailor.
