    thick trousers after being hemmed, the stitching is very well done!
    Christian M.

    truly a hidden gem in the rva area! i have taken thick jeans and trousers to get hemmed and she gets it done well and in good time. She takes into consideration the style and how you want the clothes to fall when prepping the alterations and she even pressed my pants so they were ready to wear at pickup. the entrance is on the side of the building so don't be discouraged if you don't see it right away. and be sure to bring cash!

    Ms. Trinh is an absolute gem. She's always so very kind and professional. I've had multiple pieces altered by her, one I needed quickly and one within a month. She was able to have it finished exactly when promised and when I needed them. She works very quickly to deliver an excellent end product. I only take my garments to her and would recommend her 100% Last year I took my wedding dress to her with an extremely long train and a lot of lace. Ms. Trinh worked her butt off on the bustle and removing the lace and reapplying. She's also shortened some sleeves on my partners suits. She's a professional, so I listen to everything she says. If she requests you come in to try on a piece for her... do it, she needs to see the material and how it fits. She's also realistic about what she can and can't do, please listen to her wisdom even if it's not exactly what you want to hear. I've heard other customers be rude to her and it's just really not acceptable she is incredibly sweet and hard working. She works fast, does amazing work and at a good price!

    I was happy with the alterations done by Trinh on my bridesmaid gown. I needed the spaghetti straps shortened and thought I might also need it hemmed and the bust taken in. Trinh talked me out of everything except the straps, showing me that the dress would fit properly once that simple fix was finished. I appreciated that she wanted to save me money rather than upsell extra work. The dress fit well when I picked it up a month later; not perfect, as the straps weren't as short as I had anticipated and still felt a tad loose, but it looked great for the wedding. It cost $50, cash or check only. I recommend her services and will be back for future alterations.

    Trinh did a fantastic job on my bridesmaid dress. When it came in, the top was slightly too revealing and so Trinh was able to take fabric from the bottom and add it to the top while making it look intentional. It looked fantastic and I was super happy with the end result!

    Trinh did a fantastic job altering my daughter's dress for prom. It had two layers, one lace, and it fit her perfectly and looked fantastic. She had it ready when she said she would and it was done in a timely manner as well. She also fixed the strap for my daughter's graduation dress and it looked as good as new.

    Trinh is a master of her craft. If you have a high-stakes article of clothing that needs alterations, I'd recommend her. Bring cash.

    The alterations were great however she was very over priced. I just got my dress shortened about an inch in length and it cost over $100.

    Great service and very responsive. Did an outstanding job fully replacing a broken front zipper on a winter coat, which was challenging!

    Oksana did an absolutely impeccable job tailoring a formal gown to fit me like a glove. The dress…read morewas for a wedding that had been postponed for a year due to the pandemic, and when it was finally time to wear it the dress didn't fit. I was warned that a new dress would be cheaper, but I didn't want to risk it not arriving in time or the sizing still being not quite right. It was well worth the cost to have the dress fit perfectly. Oksana instantly saw the problems and got to work when I arrived at her shop. It took 45 minutes for her to pin everything in place, and I really appreciated her thoroughness and focus. In the end she had to hem it and take it in significantly at the waist and under the arms, which involved multiple layers of different fabrics, removal and reapplication lace appliques and an attached belt, and reshaping the entire top. She priced out each individual alteration so I knew exactly how much it would cost for each step. The turnaround time was very fast for how much work she had to do and how busy her shop is, and when I came back to try it on it was perfect. I received many compliments and plan on wearing it to future formal events.
