Ripped my "Favorite" Scrub/Uniform/Doctor Shirt and Needed a place to go to "Repair/Mend" the damage; - Looked around and actually read the Yelp Reviews and found Tina's. Like everything that is quality in Charlotte, Good Food, Et. Al. - You have to wait for things. It was worth the wait at Tina's. They are located in the "Posh" Dilworth Section of Town and they serve a "Well Healed" Clientele; Parking in the Shopping Center can get a bit tight - so just be careful and be calm. Prices are fair - you get what you pay for and all good things come to those who wait; - Tina's stands by their work. I will be returning in the not so distant future to have have some pants hemmed. read more

Tina's Alterations - Friendly Staff - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Excellent service! Wedding dress turned out beautifully! They were responsive and understanding of exactly what we wanted.

There are a few alterations options in the area but I was nearby, dropping off some dry cleaning a few doors down, so I dropped in. I needed a pair a pants and although they are quicker then some other spots, they are more expensive. I love the quicker turnaround but might not choose them as my first option if I don't need my garment back quickly. All the employees are very sweet too. One thing to keep in mind. They do required payment at drop off. read more

They did an amazing job with my dress, it fit perfectly. I actually forgot to pick up my dress and the owner personally stayed after to let me get it! Great people, can't thank them enough! read more

If you need something fast- this is your place Very friendly & can just walk in Very pricey $$$ - my dress was 70$ to be taken in read more

I posted a review approximately 15 or so years ago when I first met Tina and found this shop. I also wrote one in 2017. And here I am again, just to reaffirm that Tina is fantastic. I have taken countless uniforms, dresses, pants (especially pants!) to this shop to be altered to fit my short, athletic-ish body. I have taken in some items that I was not sure could even be worked on, due to lack of fabric or just some design element, such as the useless elastic built into our tactical uniform waistbands. But Tina has found a way to work with it and make it better for me. I highly recommend this Tailor/shop. Best in town! And after you drop off your items, stop by next door and grab a smoothie from Carolina Smoothies. Undoubtedly the best smoothies in Charlotte. IMHO. read more

Incredible service very fast and excellent customer service. They helped me with a rush order for a wedding with altering my tuxedo and it looked fantastic. Couldn't ask for better service and quality of work. I also genuinely care about the garments and your time and money. I did not feel overcharged as the other places in Charlotte that I've been to. read more

The staff at Tina's is quick, responsive, understanding, and professional. I brought my wedding dress in to be altered and they had it done in three weeks. When I picked up the dress, I noticed that you could see the bra pad on one side. The ladies immediately fixed it on spot so I could take it home the same day. 10/10 would recommend. read more

Tina's Alterations - Wedding dress alterations - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Quick turn around, sweet greeting, and great quality in alteration! I was so happy with my experience here!

Wedding dress alteration of hemming and shortening the straps by about half an inch and adding a sash around the waist cost $700. The sash was uneven and didn't lay flat. When we brought it to their attention, the seamstress sort of pretended to measure it to prove to us that it was even and basically used a language barrier to dismiss us and rush us out of the store without having her fix it. On a positive note we were able to make an appointment very quickly and the work was done quickly. read more

I took in my beautiful dress I am wearing as the maid of honor at my sister's wedding. I went to get the hem altered, the sides taken in, and the skirt brought up slightly. Noting complicated or out of the ordinary. It had a v-neck that I felt comfortable and beautiful in. It didn't show off a ton of boob. I told them I was really happy with the neckline and didn't want that changed at all. When they were pinning me, I showed them where I wanted the skirt to go up about an inch. The seamstress said "no. 2 inches". I asked for it to be 1 inch again, but she pinned me for 2. I gave her the benefit of the doubt because she does this professionally but boy should I have listened to myself. When I came in to get my dress, I tried it on and was so upset and stunned silently in a bad way by the fit. The waist was way to high that not only caused me to looks wide and disproportionate but because they shortened the bodice too much, the entire bodice was riding up and not laying flat, the wide straps had a gap between my shoulder and the fabric, and the armpit area was digging into my armpit. It was as if someone had picked me up my my straps and I was dangling off the floor. I asked if they could fix anything about the waist and the arms but was told no because the dress zips perfectly. She said the only way to make the dress lay flat is to bring my breast way up with a push up or tape, something I am very uncomfortable & self-conscious with. My mom was with me & has a lot of experience sewing, grew up around seamstresses. She was kindly advocating for me because I was stunned silent with the fit and the people's attitudes who worked there. Because they shortened the bodice too much, I can never take it down where it needs to lay because of how they sewed it. Technically speaking, they ruined it. I will never come here again and encourage others to go somewhere else. read more

Tina is incredible. My wedding dress was extremely difficult to alter to the way I wanted, and she worked with me endlessly to make sure it met my expectations. She was very patient and allowed me to come back several times to get it just right. Thanks Tina!! read more

I took an old favorite sweater that had the waist stretched out. Tina's said they could sew elastic in the waist line. They did a phenomenal job, one that I thought the waist fit just as good as it did when I purchased it years ago. The day they said it would be ready, it was ready that day. Being as though this is my first time utilizing their service, I'd recommend them for at least the service that I had. Nice guy at the desk as well certainly was a plus. read more

If you are not from NC and have a high expectation for service and quality. GO TO TINAS!!! They are amazing, quick and so hospitable. Pricing was fair for their skill work. You get what you pay for and Tina's saved us after dealing with an incompetent company for my husband's wedding suit. read more

I brought in my bridesmaid dress here. The dress was to be floor length, I wore the shoes that the bride requested we wear on the wedding day to get it tailored. When i picked it up today it was shockingly short. There is no way to fix this in time for the wedding. After buying the dress and spending $137 tailoring, this is very upsetting. When i called with my concerns, Tina suggested i was to blame for wearing the wrong shoes (i was absolutely wearing the correct pair) and that I should come back in with shorter shoes.... I was stunned. This is not a solution to a ruined dress, to tell the customer to wear other shoes? To suggest they're lying?? As sad as i am about the loss of money, i am more disheartened that it will hurt my friend's special day. read more

They were super nice, quick and did a great job at hemming a MOH dress for my sister's wedding.

Tina's alterations saved me! I was able to get my jumpsuit for my daughter's graduation hemmed same day! Beautiful work and friendly people

Great service and didn't take too long, maybe a week or less. My linen pants were hemmed perfectly and the consultation was quick. Also reasonably priced. Would recommend! read more

I was recommended this place by my mom and coworker. I'm glad I listened. Not only is it super close to my job, but they are absolutely wonderful. They work fast, and the whole team works together to get you moving swiftly through the door and getting you out in a timely manner. When they start doing their thing for the alterations, they ask questions, ask how you like it, and make their own recommendations without dismissing what you want. They will make it happen, unlike other alteration places where they simply say "No we can't or don't do that." They make sure everything is at your liking and make sure your garmet is ready before any big day. I went for my final fitting and pick up of my wedding dress, and everything went wonderful. Dress was tailored exactly how they stated they would, and they worked with us on the pricing. It's definitely a place where I will take any other alterations I may have in the future. They do have a big open parking lot, but it is in a busier area in Dilworth, so especially during lunch, it can get cramped but not too bad. read more

Tina's Alterations - This is the outfit I bought but paid $40 to have it hemmed. Unbelievable! - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

They do excellent work when it comes to alterations. They are relatively quick because the turnaround is a week or less. And for the quality of work that they do, they are priced OK. read more

I cannot express enough gratitude to the employees at Tina's! They were so kind and respectful during the process of fitting my wedding dress. They completed all alterations needed and added a bustle in 3 weeks. I was so impressed by their fast and precise work! My dress fits absolutely perfectly now! I also loved that they use a chalk-like marking device when marking where to hem a wedding dress. I was super nervous about this part after reading other reviews of other alteration shops in Charlotte using blue pens for this. read more

My prom was in 2019, my dress was custom made however it needed alterations.

I had such an unpleasant experience here. I brought them my wedding dress at the recommendation from the boutique i purchased the dress. At this walk in visit, I took the dress in July for my October wedding. I was quoted $500 for some alterations and to add buttons down the back. However, we decided i should buy a different size and bring the new dress in. A month later, I came back but they said I didn't have an appointment so they couldn't help me (literally no customers were in there?). Why didn't they originally tell me to make an appt to bring the new dress in? I've never had to make an appt at an alternations place before. Whatever, I made an appt and brought in the new dress and quoted $600. I assumed this was because the now- rushed job. A week later, i realized i forgot to tell them i wanted buttons. I called and the lady said it would be another $100. A week before my final fitting, the lady called me to tell he they needed more time. So we pushed back the appointment. The day before that appointment, she called back at said the buttons would be $150. What?!? The dress was perfect, but I felt disrespected and taken advantage of at every step in this process. For that reason, i really cannot recommend this store. read more

I needed a tuxedo altered and I needed it done quickly and they were able to get me in and measured up within 10 minutes. They were able to get me my items back, altered perfectly, in less than 3 days. Highly recommend this location.. read more

I took my bridesmaid dress in for alteration and was let down. They were willing to take the dress in but unwilling to alter a strap. The cost was astronomical in comparison to other alteration shops. The experience felt rushed. read more

I had my bridesmaids dress altered. Went back to pick it up and it was huge. They altered it again, and it was still incorrect. They insisted that it was because of my body, and that they couldn't do anything, and said I needed a padded bra. They put sample pads in at the. Appointment and said it looked "totally fine" despite my insistence that it was still too big and fit poorly. Despite having the most padded bra I could find, the dress had 2-3 inches of loose fabric around my back and fit terribly around the chest. They charged me $120, and they were extremely rude. I typically do not leave a bad review, but I absolutely cannot recommend this place for anyone who really cares about an expensive piece of clothing. read more

My friend needed two of her wedding dress alter.. I went with her because she needed some opinions.. Step in, there's a small front area that can help with the fitting. There's about 3 fitting rooms so they can change.. There's one young lady that will translate and 2 staffs to help pins and adjust accordingly.. Overall, they were all very sweet. Make great suggestions and the prices isn't bad. If you decide to pay cash instead of swiping your card. It will save you some money.. Great place for major alteration! read more

I bought my wedding dress at Vowd and Tinas being a vowd partner, I got my wedding dress altered here. Overall, I think they did do a good job with the quality of services requested. I do think the price points were too expensive for the services. My dress was pretty plain and I did not have to shorten the length and had no train to bustle. Other that that, all I needed was my dress to be taken in and cups added. All of that together was almost $400. I would recommend shopping around prior to settling with Tinas, especially if you have a less complex dress. read more

My daughter and I went to Tina's as it was one of 2 places recommended by the Wedding Dress shop she bought her dress from. Made an appt. and attended the appt. Was greeted by 2 ladies who immediately assisted my daughter in getting her dress on and up onto the stool to start measuring. Then proceeded to sell me a dress bag. Once they tacked the dress and put it in the new bag. They proceeded to say that the alterations would take 4 weeks and cost $700. Mind you my daughters dress has no beading or applique. Needed to be taken in at the waist, up at the hem and add a bustle. When I questioned why so high... I was told everyone charged that much and showed me where everyone who was sent from Vow'd was charged upwards of $700 - 850. I expected it to be a few hundred dollars, however, $700 seemed a bit extreme. The salesperson said she would give me $50 discount. I kindly let her know that we would would like the dress back as we would look around, particularly since we didn't live that close to this store (in another county). She stated that we wouldn't find another better and when I found an estimate about the same I could come back and they would do our alterations. I cordially thanked her, shared I would pay for the bag and the work they did that day and asked for the dress. She charged me $40, which I paid. It was at this point that I saw the second woman take the dress out of the bag and rush it to the back of the store. The person I was speaking with said oh no - she go and steam the dress and make nice. When I looked again, I saw the woman carrying back the dress to put it in the bag - rolled up in a ball!!! They had taken out any pins or makes they made on the dress and put it back in the bag. I assured her that we would not be back as it was clear they were not very good to work with. read more

Loved them. Went above and beyond for a fantastic price. Even better than the price was the turn around time. We were going away and I needed something altered for my daughter very last minute. Not only was it completed early than expected my daughter n I were very pleased with the results. They have gained a forever customer! read more

Gave them 2 weeks to add straps and it wasn't ready on pick up day. When I got the dress back the straps looked awful. I paid $50 for something I could have done. So disappointed. read more

Tina's Alterations is great! I got exactly what I asked for and the turn around time was great!

This was my first experience, but it was a very pleasant one! I called prior to see how i could make an appointment; and was told that they only take walk in's. When I arrived to get my dress fitted, I was immediately helped and shown a dressing room to change into. I changed and warily a brief moment and then was sized for my dress. It was a very easy and pleasant experience! I was told what day it would be ready and paid (a little on the more expensive side depending on garment) and I was good to go! I would recommend for any bridesmaids dresses. read more

This is long, but I had such a BIZARRE experience here with TWO different workers. When I first tried on the dress for them, one of the girls told me in every way possible that my dress was ugly without actually saying my dress was ugly. It made me really self-conscious. She even gave me a card with her number on it, so that we could "buy any other dress." (This woman is not the one who did the actual alteration and is different than the woman mentioned below) I'll say that the turnaround time is great, the execution, however, is not. I wore the dress for the event that I needed it for but realized that the button in the front kept coming loose, so I went back to have them sew it on instead of just having a button clasp. So I drop off the dress and am told it will be ready in 2 days and she writes my name on a sticky note, but I don't get a ticket like I did the first time. I go to pick it up a little bit later than 2 days and when she can't find the dress, I am told that I gave them the wrong name (even though it is my OWN name) so that made no sense and then I was blamed for not bringing a ticket that I NEVER received in the first place. Lo and behold I finally find the dress and mine is the only dress with a sticky note hanging and NOT A TICKET. The woman barely says anything and I walked out without even trying the dress on. Truly have never had an experience like this before. read more

Don't get me wrong they did a fantastic job, however, I paid $60 for 2 pair of jeans to be taken in in the waist. There are other options in the area with the same quality work for a fraction of the price! read more
