I am a petite woman. I'm typically a size 6, but only 5'0". Clearly a lot of clothing isn't made for my proportions and wedding dresses certainly are not. I ordered my dress online at Cocomelody. It was beautiful, but definitely too long. I had about 4 inches of dress at the bottom that I kept stepping on when trying to walk. I decided to check out Tina's while I was visiting my parents in Killeen. I wanted to keep my wedding dress away from my house so my future husband couldn't see it. I called first and they said they were open with shortened hours on Saturday. My sister and I went in Saturday morning, and the sign outside indicates masks are required. Nice work staying safe! No one else was in the shop so Tina saw us immediately. She led me to the back to try on my dress so she could mark the changes she thought I'd need. She could immediately see the length was a problem, and told me fixing that should be simple. However, upon further inspection of my dress she noted the bottom layers were sewn together; she would have to unstitch them to make the changes. Plus, the top didn't quite fit: the arm holes were a bit too big, and the back sagged a little. It wasn't a horrible look, but when Tina lifted the back and made the fit more secure, my sister noticed a big difference. Tina went over all the alterations I needed repeatedly so it was clear what she was going to do. We established a time, (about 2 weeks before my wedding date in case I wanted anything altered), she told me a price, we agreed, and then she wrote me a receipt to be paid when I picked up my finished dress. I got a call a few days later saying my dress was already ready to be picked up! She finished nearly a week earlier than scheduled. Again, I brought my sister to see me try on my dress and she was blown away. I immediately noticed the fit was better. The changes seemed so subtle on the outside, but my dress felt like mine. Tina did great work and I looked amazing! If you need alterations, I highly recommend this shop. read more

"All types of alteration" is false advertisement, I went in hoping to get the length of my curtains shorter & she automatically goes, "nope can't do it, I don't work on curtains" make sure to call in and see if she can do what you want, lesson learned. Thank you to Sassy's Cleaners, she did all my curtains within a couple hours, I was so thankful for her!! read more

This is dedicated to Melissa P, who got the FTR before me. I bought slacks for $30 for work (woo). It is a practical, all weather khaki without pleats. The inseam was a bit lengthy and needed to be taken in for a proper fit. I took the pants to Tina and she was very nice and friendly as she emerged from her workshop behind the busy counter. All I needed was a basic hem with a full break and no cuff so that the pant legs weren't dragging into my heels. I was truly comfortable with leaving my slacks there and thought in the end it would be fine because I would look less like an unprofessional buffoon wearing ill-fitting pants. When I got the garment back I couldn't even tell if any work had been done, because the work was flawless. It's as if she went back to the pants store and found the perfect pants in my exact measurements, or better yet, she went to the factory and hand-crafted these pants just for me. The best part was that she charged a fair amount! YIKES! Extremely reasonable, especially for the services requested and prompt turnaround time as promised. I have had MANY pants altered at various locations and have only once been charged a rush fee (because it was a rush order) -- I would go back to this store. read more

Support local and come here for any alterations you may need! I came here for a bridesmaid dress alteration with 2 weeks turnaround time. It's a cute little shop and Tina works hard in the back and her husband is in the front managing the store. They were transparent with the pricing and albeit a bit on the steeper side, they got it done in time and were so kind. The originally way-too-large dress fit so much better after she altered it (was a tad bit too tight on the shoulders and she said she couldn't change it anymore) but overall I'm still happy with the result. I had a hard time reaching them on the phone on a Saturday, but they are open! This place is cash only and payment is due at pickup. read more

I went to Tina's Workshop based on the positive reviews and was not disappointed!

I'll be sending everyone I know her way. read more

I got my bridesmaid dress altered here in May and she did an amazing job at short notice and for 80$ less than what others charged. I recommend Tina for all your alterations work. She's super sweet and really tries to work with you. Cash only so please be aware of that but she is really good at what she does and just super fast! read more

Beautiful work! Altered a bridesmaid dress for my wife and took a a week and a half without paying for a rush.

Very friendly couple runs the shop, brought my 3 kiddos in for a alterations on a swimsuit I bought online. The owners were so sweet to my kids while providing me with excellent and quick service. Will continue to come here. read more

First of all, Tina is one of the friendliest people I have ever met. She's always telling stories, cracking jokes, smiling, and asking all about how you're doing. I love that in customer service! I brought in three pairs of pants for hemming and one for a zipper replacement. She had me try them on, pinned them to length, and made extra sure I was happy with where she pinned them. She did all the work in a week, and it only cost $35. Not only is that a good price, her work is high quality and flawless! She put an industrial strength zipper on the jeans, so it'll likely never break again. Also, the hem work is impeccable. I'm 5'3" with a big booty, so finding pants is usually difficult. I buy them for fit and then usually have them hemmed. All the pants I brought to Tina now fit like a glove. Gotta love it! read more

I bought a dress for $30 for a friends wedding (woo). It is a cute summer dress with open lace back. The lace in the back gaped and because of the open back I couldn't wear a bra. I took the dress to Tina and at first she was trying to talk me out of even altering the dress. All I wanted was for the button to be moved in slightly so that it wouldn't gape and for a bra to be sewn in. I was truly uncomfortable with leaving my dress there-- but thought in the end it would be fine. When I got the dress back I couldn't even tell if any work had been done, other than the bra (which was a size too big) being sewn in. The worst part was that she charged $85! YIKES! Extremely over priced especially for the MINIMAL/ IF ANY work that was done to it. I have had MANY dresses altered at various locations and have only once been charged $80 (because it was a rush order and it the whole dress had to be reconstructed) -- I would not go back to this store. read more

Tina and her work saved my wedding. I bought a dress off the rack at a bridal store, and they only had one size, which was 3 too large for me. They quoted me a price of $600+ for alterations. I took it to Tina and her husband, and she knew EXACTLY what to do and how, and had it done within a matter of weeks, charging me less than 1/3 of what the store quoted. I was blown away. They are extremely sweet, thoughtful, and she is AMAZING at what she does!!! I would trust her with anything, always. read more

This lady & her husband are super sweet. She hemmed the bottom of my scrubs bc they were too long. Excellent service & quality. Cash only though! read more

I had bought a ball gown that came in a week before the ball. The top was too loose and the length was a bit long. I brought it to ms. Tina and she had it done in 4 days. She really cares about your opinion and will make sure it's what you want before she gets to work. Paid $75. But well worth it. read more

I took a ball gown in for altering a week before the ball. Tina's had it done and ready within that time frame. She was also very friendly and helpful. The work was excellent (couldn't tell there had been any). Price was good too. $75 to pretty much bring the dress down a size and adjust the straps. She really made it compliment my body (and work with my curves). read more

Tina's the sweetest and did an amazing job. She was super flexible and helped us when we were in a bind. Would recommend to anyone.

The work that Ms. Tina does is great. She was able to work with me when I brought in a dress that was made oddly by the manufacturer and that had to be reworked to fit me properly. She did this in 12 days. It looks great and can't wait to wear it to my event. I will be using her again. read more

Tina was absolutely amazing! She took her time to make sure my ball dress was the length I wanted it to be! She was also patient with my crying baby. She is a miracle worker! I dropped off my dress yesterday and I got it today. ONE DAY TURNAROUND! She is amazing! I would recommend anyone to her! read more

Mrs. Tina is a God- send! I bought a beautiful $80 dress from Zara, for a job interview and was HEARTBROKEN when I received it, and found it didn't fit. After talking me off the ledge, she had me try it on to pin it to the correct fit. It was done THE NEXT DAY. Completely flawless. Perfect fit. Can't thank her enough for having it done so quickly! read more

The bridesmaid dress I bought originally was way too long and I needed it hemmed. Tina did a beautiful job and had it finished within the week. Services were reasonably priced and Tina could not have been more welcoming; she made me feel right at home! I would highly recommend her to anyone needing alterations. read more

Tina's is the best alterations place in Killeen. Always does a great job. Her prices are good, $9 for hemming shorts, $15 for customizing a blouse. Highly recommend her. It is cash only. read more

I've brought several expensive garments to Tina and she does an amazing job every time. She hems pants using the original stitching (like on True Religion pants). Not super fast or cheap but that is usually the case with quality work. read more

Absolutely amazing!! I took 2 pairs of jeans to be hemmed and my husband's jacket to have rank sewed on. Original pick up date was the 7th of March but when I said I needed them earlier they called about an hour and a half later and had it all done. No extra charge. And everything looks great!! read more

My daughter needed her top to her prom dress altered ( two piece set) I ordered it custom made, unfortunately it was not made to specified measurements. I selected this shop, after reading all the 5 star reviews. I called and explained what I had going on, and was told to come in with the piece. When we arrived she looked at the piece and said she couldn't make the alterations, because the top had an over lay of embellishments that were sewn on to the top. I explained and showed her that there was extra material left in the top just in case it needed to be altered, she said she still could not do, so I suggested to her to reset the zipper in the back as much as possible. She agreed to that and told me it would cost me $ 45.00. I thought that was to pricey, so I told her I would remove the zipper myself, I left, went and picked up a seam ripper, removed the zipper, was back at her shop after about 40 minutes. She sewed the zipper back in, in about five minutes. It was sewn in with out a care more of a rush job, you could see the threading that was sewn in which she double stitched, over lapping and uneven stitches (this was not a invisible zipper). I was charged $ 20.00 for that. So I come to the conclusion, that Miss Tina is limited to what she can really do when it comes to laborious alterations, because she is definitely not a seamstress. I ended up taking it to Barbra's Needle, she did an outstanding job for $ 50.00, the work is to perfection . This is what alterations specialist is suppose to accomplish. read more
