    My go-to tailor in SA. I'll be honest, I haven't gone anywhere else in SA because the Yelp reviews led me here over a year ago and I keep going back. Wah-tee is always so welcoming and fun to interact with and her team does a fantastic job on garments. I've gotten mostly pants/jeans done here, but I've seen customers get suits, dresses, shorts and everything in between. Pricing wise, I would say you get a level of service and outcome that corresponds accordingly. I haven't gone to another tailor in SA, nor do I foresee doing so.

    Picture of the sample/model shirt, on top of the altered shirt beneath it that tailor left way too big.

    I brought in a denim shirt to be resized (to a smaller size). Rather than take measurements, Wah-Tee took a similar shirt of mine to use as a "sample" to get the measurements from. She agreed to modify the larger shirt's width at the sides, and width of the sleeves, to match the smaller shirt's dimensions. When I picked up the modified shirt, Wah-Tee said that it had been a lot of work, that she would never agree to do such a thing again, and that the altered shirt matched the sample exactly. (Of course this made me think she had never done such an alteration before, or she would have known what to expect!) When I got home and looked, I noticed that the shirt dimensions were very different (i.e., the altered shirt was still much larger than the sample shirt). I will try to attach a photo of the sample shirt (darker color) on top of the shirt that she altered (lighter color). The sleeve width is still two inches wider than the sample, and the sides as well. I phoned Wah-Tee the next afternoon and told her that the altered shirt and the sample shirt were in no way even remotely the same size. In response, and in contrast to what she claimed when I picked them up, she said that any two shirts would always be different, and offered as a ridiculous analogy, "You can never turn me into you, or you into me." She said that she had done the best she could, that she would NOT refund my money, and that she was busy. Then she hung up on me mid-conversation, which I found surprising. Interestingly, after dropping off the shirt for her to alter, I went back to clarify with her what she was going to do, and she got kind of snippy and offended that I was questioning her. In irritation, she said that she had at one time been a custom shirt maker, and that she could not believe I was questioning her ability to do a $50 alteration when people had entrusted to her their $14,000 dresses. She closed by saying to me quite bluntly, "It's never the clothes alterations that are the problem; it is the people who wear the clothes that can be the problem." Apparently, for her, it is both.

    I have to say Wah-Tee is the cutest, sweetest and most adorable lady I've probably met since I've moved to Texas. When I went to drop my pants off there was 6 waiting patiently for service. So I knew this place had to be good. She took her time with each client. Many return clients and she knew them all by name. Her work is amazing. I accidentally popped my button off my Buckle jeans (**cough cough** from too much Yelping where I've gained a pound or ten) and even though she wasn't able to use the button that came with it, she was able to salvage my favorite pair of jeans. She also fixed two pair of slacks that needed fixed. I seen that she fixed suits as well, because the guy in front of me tried his on and was looking pretty GQ walking out of there. Parking is full sometimes. Definitely a busy little shop, not too far from the quarry. I've definitely found my tailor here. (Which I need like 5-6 inches taken off every pair of pants because I'm a shorty) I look forward to coming back, but this time I hope it's for my clothes getting tailored smaller, not for popped off buttons.

    I came to Couture Alterations. I was recommended by the wonderful ladies over at Olivia Grace…read moreBridal. For my first appointment, I spoke with Sophia and Aimeth to go over the alterations that my dress required. Sophia seemed to know exactly what all my dress needed.They provided me with a quote and assured me that my dress would be ready for my bridal portraits just a little under a month later. Including my first initial visit, I only went to Couture Alterations three times. The third time was for my final dress pickup. My second appointment I needed to make sure that I had my wedding shoes, because they needed to adjust the hem of the dress. They were very accommodating. When I wasn't sure about something, they answered all my questions and fixed any pieces that I raised concerns about. I was a little worried when I went in to my second-to-last appointment, since it appeared that Sophia was no longer working there or was no longer working on my specific dress. They transferred the remaining work to another seamstress. However, this other seamstress was very nice, and made sure the dress was finished according to how I envisioned it. Additionally, they completed my bridesmaids' shawls in a very quick amount of time, and they came out great!

    Brought in my wedding dress to get altered and had an amazing experience! Great communication,…read morefriendly staff and very flexible with time. Very detailed with their work and walk you through everything. Overall great experience!
