She was great! Got me out of a complete bind when I had to have my dress in 3-days. She also insisted I try it own to be sure I was happy with the results. I'd completely recommend her work! It was a beautiful job! read more

The only place you'll ever need for any type of tailoring but bear in mind, top quality means they're busy so don't wait until the last minute! Price was fair, work was excellent, what more could you ask for. read more

Had to get a pair of pants hemmed and a tank top strap fixed. They were done a week earlier than expected. I went in and she marked where I wanted the pants hemmed, and then I got a call when it was ready. I will definitely come back here if I need any other alterations! read more

I was looking for a tailor in Saint Petersburg, and Ursula's Alterations popped up! It worked out for me to visit while I was in the area! Parking is quite limited, and the lot is tiny. There are about 2 spaces in front of the business. However, you can go to the back parking, where there are another 2 spots designated for Ursula's. I brought a piece of clothing after visiting 2 other tailors, who said they were not able to fix my item. The man told me that to come back after 6-7 days for my item. After patiently waiting, I picked up my item with complete happiness. They do accept cash and credit card. Quick notes: They are not responsible for items not picked up after 90 days. Some days her dog (the house mascot) might greet hello to you! Would I come back? Yes. Business Hours: Monday - Friday 10A-6P Saturday 10A-3P Sunday is closed read more

Ursula was very friendly and inviting in the store.

I would go back to her again for sure. read more

Ursula's Alterations - Love her store front! - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Saint Petersburg, Florida

Ursula is great. She has fair prices and gets her alterations done very quickly, and always on time. This past halloween i was struggling to find an vest that would fit for my costume, she managed to take my vest and alter it in way that it would fit. Halloween was saved! I have brought her suits, and pants, and other assorted clothes over the past few years and I have never come away not impressed with her work product. I easily endorse and recommend Ursula's Alterations. read more

I needed a new elastic waist band on a favorite pair of pants. I never asked the price nor did I care . She had them ready on the day I requested . When I picked them up , knowing it's a small business I asked if she'd prefer cash . She said yes . When I told her I'd be back the next day to pick them up and pay her she insisted I take my pants and trusted I'd be back . Rare in this day and age . I went back the next day and paid her . Don't need alterations often but I highly recommend her!! read more

Consistent. Dependable. Friendly. Helpful. I don't get alterations very often. However, I've been going to Ursula's for over well over a decade and that adds up to a lot of visits! The prices seem to be normal, though, I called a place yesterday out on 4th street where my other errands were, and they were a few bucks more to hem up the legs of my pants. I would recommend this business. read more

Anna is amazing! I needed some pants hemmed and was so impressed I brought her random pieces I needed altered. To have a good tailor is everything! She was so quick and professional. I cannot recommend enough! read more

Do not knock Ursula's!! She is fantastic and knows what she is doing. I have been going to her since I was a kid. I still remember my mom taking me there when I was 9. She has done so many alterations for me and I will continue to be a customer. I now get to take my daughter to her. If you need any alteration or cloth needs whatsoever, Ursula can fix it!! A+++++ read more

In today's world of cheap clothes and last minute events we lose out on how good clothes feel when they are sewn just right. We had a family wedding to attend and needed a nice dress we found at Dillard's altered to fit someone in a wheelchair. We asked around and the name that kept popping up was Ursula's. We stopped in and they quickly went to work! One of the wonderful ladies there sat down on the floor and went to town measuring, pinning, and adjusting. We hesitantly left knowing this was a one shot deal with no time for a "do over". Didn't need one. The dress fit beautifully like it was designed that way. Trust me, you WANT to look good in your clothes too. Ursala's was excellent! read more

I have been going to Ursula off and on for 10 years now. She has done my prom dresses, wedding dresses and various other thing I have taken her to alter. She does one of the nicest jobs when it comes to alterations. She listens and values what the customer requests. She is fair and honest and won't talk you into doing extra things. Her turn around time is quick and she makes sure to have your items done on time. She has two small stalls to try on your dress or outfit needing altered. There is a nice mirror as well to view yourself as she discusses the plan with you. If you're lucky, her shop assistant (her dog) will be there to great you! read more

will never go here again. serious price gouging. Took 2 pair of pants and a blouse for alterations. was tried on and measured by store clerk. Upon pick noticed items was not alterated as discussed and the price of the items was $75 read more

Visited Ursula's for a bridesmaid dress to be hemmed. It needed to be hemmed about one maybe 1 & 1/2 inches and it costed $120. This was way more than my dress and I was not aware of this insane price until I arrived to pick it up. I would definitely ask up front for price before using this place. read more

Came in to receive alterations for my friends wedding dress and Ursula was very transparent regarding the pros and cons of the alterations. Amazing service and customer relations, highly recommend! read more

I came here the first time because my friend needed to get his suit pants hemmed and he found Ursula's through Yelp. I went with him to drop off the pants, and he liked the finished product. Recently, my boyfriend needed suit pants to be shortened and hemmed for a wedding.... later that day, and he decided to go here as well because of our friend's experience. We called and the lady said she could hem the pants, even though it was such short notice. We dropped the pants off at 12 noon, and she called us back at 1:30 pm to tell us the pants were finished. They do not take credit card, CASH ONLY! But she only charged $12 for the alteration. Fast, easy service! Parking for the building is definitely a pain because there is never any open spots, and the spaces that are there are impossibly tiny. I suggest parking along the street to the side of the plaza. read more

Love Ursula's. Great work always done on time. To the reviews complaining about price, remember, good work ain't cheap cheap work ain't good. You definitely get what you pay for at Ursula's, which is excellent quality delivered on time. read more

did not alter the item: i brought in a simple request to take in the legs of a larger size for me flowy pant style. i brought in a perfect size sample pants to do as the fit is perfect. identical style/ easy sample to leave with her. she says she did not need the other pant. 8 days later i pick up the pants for $35.00. i noticed on the hanger it did not look as if anything was altered. i brought it back and her "assistant" who does not speak english! did not understand. came back in again today and ursula claimed i was rude to assistant. they did not do the work! i told her so and instead of being honest and apologizing for that fact, she promptly refunded me. i went to another alteration business and they charge only $18.00 which was nearly half the price! read marilyn's review regarding price gauging below 2 months ago.....never again! read more

I cannot believe this place. I actually found this place through yelp and trusted that they would do a good job because of the reviews I saw. Well here is the truth....they are absolutely horrible!!! I had a brand-new uniform to be hemmed and my husband had a uniform needed a patch sawed on. My uniform was not shortened enough like I asked and my husband's patch was sawed on terribly. When we picked up my uniform the second time after asking it to be hemmed shorter, the owner lady said very bluntly "Here. My employee said she shortened like you asked the first time. I am not doing it again for free." and just walked away. Then we realized my brand new uniform had all the yellow stains and white lines all over. So I called her again saying that we noticed some stains that had never been there before. That very moment, she snapped and yelled "Are you kidding me!? We don't eat lunch when we are working." Well lady, I never said you eat lunch over my clothes but you just confirmed you did. I ended up washing my uniform, ironing it and all that. The owner lady does not even work on any clothes herself. She lets her unskilled employee do alteration and everything came out horrible for us. She is very snappy and unprofessional. Be aware to be yelled at when you tell her you are not happy with the work they do. read more

I am very upset. They close at 6 and I was picking up my dress today for a wedding. I have a wedding tomorrow and they never notified me they were going to be closed. The plan was to pick up today. Very unprofessional. If you decide to close your store, you should notify your customers. They can pick up there items earlier. read more

Don't go here unless you wish to get ripped off! Brought in a bridesmaid dress to be altered. Standard stuff: strap shortening, take in bodice, and hem up the length. I was not given an estimate at time of drop off because she was chatting it up with a friend/client that was there at the same time. I was barely spoken to the entire time I was there. I returned two weeks later and admittedly the dress fit very well. However when it came time to pay I was charged $180! When I tried to dispute she got very defensive and argumentative. Seeing as how I needed the dress and couldn't just leave without it, I paid the amount I was told and left her shop. Upon checking my receipt that I had her text to me, I was actually charged $192.70 (labor tax?)! The alteration services actually cost most than the dress itself at this point. After speaking with other bridesmaids who also had to have their dresses altered at other shops (due to living elsewhere), they paid significantly less and had more alterations done to their dresses than what I had done to mine. Never again will I return to Ursula's for her services. I was treated as an inconvenience and overcharged ridiculously so. Lesson learned, ALWAYS DEMAND an estimate at the time of initial fitting! read more

Truly old-world quality. She knows good fabric and takes care in handling. Highly recommended.

I have been using them for four years and it is well done on alterations and extremely cleAn and friendly. Who doesn't love the house mascot greeting you. read more

This was the worst experience I've ever had with a business! The owner is the rudest and most unprofessional person! I brought her a bridesmaid dress to alter. I scheduled a day two weeks later to pick it up. When I arrived that day she was immediately in a panic and said she wasn't done with it yet and needed another half hour. I quickly realized a half hour later when she called to say I can pick it up that she hadn't even started it yet until then. I was actually pulling in the parking lot when she called. She sent out her poor employee who just handed me the dress and I had to ask to try it on. Omg it was horrible! The top still didn't fit. The dress wasn't only to short but so uneven I could tell even when it was hanging on the hanger. The employee said she would go get the owner to look at it. She came back seconds later and told me she was not there. For several days I tried calling her and she wouldn't get on the phone. Eventually I got lucky and she was the one that answered. She told me she had fixed the dress. When I went back (now the 4th time) she said nothing to me. Went in back to get the dress. And sent her poor employee out again while she hid in the back. Still to short. Still very noticeably uneven. Top not altered even close to right. And she still leaves her employee to try to convince me it's fine. $80 later and I have to pay someone to try to fix it even though she cut the bottom to the point it can't be taken back down. I'll post a pic of her so called fixed job. Stay away from this lady and her so called business! read more

Ursula's Alterations - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Saint Petersburg, Florida

Always beautiful work and completed earlier than I expected. Wouldn't go anywhere else.

This place is awesome. I have tried a number of so called "tailors", but none have come close to Ursula's Alterations. Her work is impeccable, and she truly cares about the customer. I've taken several items there that needed to be done in a hurry. These people got the job done. Not only did they do it, but they did it extremely well. I showed up again with two more dresses. One was a ribbon layer dress that was a size too big. She took the entire thing in at the back zipper so it wouldn't affect the layering of the dress. The second was a cocktail dress that had ribbon roses all over it. I needed the shoulders taken in. Ursula recommended some darts at the bust to prevent gaps. Both were worn for family wedding, fit beautifully and I again revived numerous compliments. Ursula was always friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable. All work was professional and completely not noticeable. Unless you were told, you would have no clue any alterations were done to the dresses. That's the true test of good alterations! They were really quick and great pricing. I would recommend this to anyone who needs alterations! read more

I stopped in on a Monday with curtains to be hemmed and Ursula was very pleasant. I stopped on a Monday and she said they would be done later in the week. She called the NEXT day and they were done. Very impressed! read more

Overpriced and rude, will not be going back. Needed a $100 bridesmaid dress shortened, ended up being charged $160!

Ursula was lovely and did a great job sizing down a skirt and pair of pants for me. Highly recommend

Got a pair of pant hems fixed here and also a huge tear in a pair of men's shorts. Fixed very well. Happy to bring more items here in the future. Owner is nice and fair prices. Cute little dog will greet you at the door. read more

Did a beautiful job on enlarging arm sleeves for my wife and shortening cuffs and pants in my new suit. Very professional! You'd never know they had been altered! Fair pricing and timely work!! read more

Had a last minute business suit emergency, tore out the inner lining of my business jacket & it was showing. Everyone was quoting 2-3 days to repair it since they had to send it out. Thankfully, I found Ursula's on the Nextdoor app. I showed up when they opened & they were able to do a quick, rush job to fix it so I wouldn't miss my flight. Thank you! read more

Ursula's Alterations - Where I ripped the lining out of my jacket. - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Saint Petersburg, Florida

I have taken two dresses here, both of the bridesmaid variety. I have been pleased with the results. The place is super small, and they only take cash or checks (really!?). The only issue was that I originally brought one dress in inside a protective bag; when I picked it up it was sans bag and out in the open, waiting to become dirty. read more

We have used Ursula dozens of times through the years. We drive there from Tierra Verde and pass dozens of other alternative shops because she is the best that there is anywhere around here. We have NEVER had an issue, everything is always done on time and VERY reasonably priced. I can't imagine going anywhere else and I know a lot of people who drive far and wide to get to her and none of us have ever had a problem. Ursula is excellent! read more

I have been using Ursula for almost ten years. She is awesome! Not only does she do great quality work at a reasonable price. She guarantees her work and is a very fair business woman. She's also on top of fashion trends, and is very helpful on making sure he alterations keep up with current looks but tastefully done. She will make alternative suggestions to save her customer money and get gives creative options as well I love her! And will be a lifelong customer! read more

I had a dress that had a broken zipper and needed it fixed overnight for an event over the weekend. Ursula did an AMAZING job and her prices are very affordable. Her work was fantastic. I was able to wear my dress without worrying about a wardrobe malfunction throughout the night. I would definitely recommend going to her for anything you need fixed in a short time span!!!! read more

I had 2 wedding dresses that needed to be altered. Ursula was highly recommended by my dry cleaners. I highly recommend Ursula Alteration for altering your wedding dress. They did an amazing job. One of my dresses was 3 sizes to big on me and I was worried it could not be taken in and look amazing but they reassured me they could do it. My other dress I purchased online they totally redesigned it around my waist and back of the dress. The cost to do both my dresses was very reasonable. That you Ursula's Alteration for making my wedding day so special. read more

Ursula has done a couple of things for me. The one tthat stands out the most was my mother of the bride dress. It was stunning, except for being a little too long and too low cut for the occasion. I loved it too much to return, so I took it to Ursula at the suggestion of a good friend. I'm so glad I did, when Ursula was finished with it, it was perfect. I've worn it two more times since my daughter's wedding, and always receive compliments on it. Thank you, Ursula!! You have a lifetime customer in me!! read more
