Beautifully hemmed and taken in.
Angela M.

We had an excellent experience with Usha's tailoring! She is such a sweet lady! Our dresses were beautifully done and ready as promised. We will be repeat customers! I would certainly recommend her to anyone in need of a tailor.

The dress she altered for me

I can't even tell you how much Usha saved my life! I had a performance coming up and the original gown I ordered wasn't going to arrive in time due to a snow storm, so Usha made a dress that was too small for me (a heavy vintage hand beaded dress) a couple sizes larger to fit and she did it in record time in order for me to make my performance in Boston. I can't thank her enough!!! If you want quality magic like alterations done, go see her! You won't be dissapointed!!

It's difficult to find an affordable and reliable place for alterations. We just happened to stumble upon Usha on Yelp and decided to give it a go! The location was a hop, skip, and a jump from where I live in Fenton, and the studio is actually in Usha's home - trust me, Yelp did not steer us wrong. Going inside, you'll see racks of clothing, bridesmaid dresses and other items that are either finished or waiting to be done. My husband had 3 of his suits altered and a stack of jeans hemmed! On average, it takes about 3-5 business days depending on how many items of clothing you have. I had jeans hemmed for $10 for regular, and I believe $15 for original. Very reasonable compared to where I used to go. Usha is very warm, friendly, and professional. It's like going to my aunt's house to visit because she is so welcoming! Her work is remarkable and I hardly use those adjectives in a review. She definitely knows what she's doing :)

Finished dress

Usha did a magnificent job with our daughter's wedding dress! The dress needed a lot of work done in order to fit our slender girl perfectly. Some of the things done: material was added to the shoulders so they didn't fall down; the front was altered by taking it in a bit and appliques were added; the length had to be shortened, which meant relocating the lace higher up; the inner lining was shortened; and the biggest challenge of all was re-designing the back to add tulle, lace, and buttons to eliminate the plunging back. We never had a moment's hesitation in asking Usha to do this for us, as she did beautiful work with our daughter's prom dress, years earlier. We would recommend Usha for any alteration, no matter the complexity. And the bonus - Usha is a genuinely kind and lovely person! She's wonderful to work with!

Bridal dress and headband

Usha and her husband were absolutely wonderful! I took my wedding dress into them multiple times because I kept wanting to add things and adjust things and each time it was perfect! They steamed my dress, did many alterations to it, added silk ribbon to the waist. Usha even constructed a bridal headband for me from multiple pieces and materials I brought in! It was perfect! They also made my husband and I wedding face mask! I couldn't have found a better place

Friendly service, and affordable, excellent alterations, with very convenient hours. Very easy to miss - right next door to the bike shop.

I was contacted by the owners daughter,Michelle, who apologized profusely and was adamant about…read moremaking it right. I explained how disappointed I was because when I dropped off the garments, there was no mention about having to replace the fabric of the belt loops or completely altering the back of the skirt where the zipper was. She asked what she could do to make it right. I could tell she really cares about her business and customers, as well as the quality of work they produce. I explained that there wasn't much because of how altered they both were but instead, to make sure her parents fully understood what the customer was wanting and not to be afraid to say no if they couldn't actually do it. She agreed and again, couldn't have been more apologetic. This was a learning lesson for both parties and I know how to move forward. In the beginning, she asked if she could give me a refund. I declined at first because I wasn't seeking one but instead, was really hoping something could be done about my clothes. After a few phone calls, I decided I'd go ahead and take it. Prior to this, It had been a while since I've brought something to them but because this was handled so professionally, I'll continue using them but for dry cleaning only. Michelle, thank you for your kindness and empathy you displayed in trying to remedy this situation.

I was looking for a place to clean and package up my wife's wedding dress as an anniversary gift to…read moreher. I came across this place when I was googling. The dress was pretty clean but the bottom was pretty dirty from our outdoor wedding. Their service was excellent. They got it cleaned and packaged up in box within two weeks of dropping it off there. The communication they provided was excellent. They even sent a text message when the dress was ready for pickup. The quality of work was well worth the cost. The dress cleaning and preservation was $260 then they offered two size boxes. The medium box was $80 and the large box was $100. My wife's dress luckily fit into a medium box so I walked away with an out the door price of $360. I was not aware until I picked it up that the box I purchased came with a window so that you could still see the dress while keeping it packaged up and looking nice! I would highly recommend this place for all your dry cleaning needs and especially if you're looking to have your wedding dress preserved. My rating : BEST

My dream dress was long sleeve lace, yet I purchased a strapless plunging neckline dress with floral appliqué. I tried it on every day for a week hating the dress more with each try on...then I called Custom Alterations for a hem and take in, she answered and swiftly got me on the schedule. When I arrived at my appt I basically let her know I despised the dress and wanted to give it a complete makeover. I thought she was going to tell me I was crazy especially coming to her LESS THAN 8 WEEKS BEFORE MY WEDDING...but she was confident and totally up for whatever I wanted to do! I told her my long list of things I wanted to change and shared many Pinterest photos with her, and she emailed me an invoice later listing all the changes I wanted with pricing. She was transparent about pricing, timeline, and the dress's limitations...really great communication!! She created sleeves including buttons, loops, and straps for attachment. Removed, recreated, re attached and hemmed my skirt. And she recreated the bodice and added lace. I came to her really upset with the dress I purchased and left a few short weeks later with the dress I envisioned myself in. It looked absolutely amazing and nothing like the original dress at all. I love when someone has a talent they are passionate about and do that thing really well. And that is Peggy and her team at Custom Alterations. They are true artists and witnessing their creations was inspiring! Plus Peggy's amazing customer service as a business owner was remarkable. Very friendly and personable. Here's some before and after photos!
