An excellent tailor who has even saved a few alternations messed up by other tailors. Pleasure to work with.

They did a good job they just took longer than expected. It wasn't ready when they originally told me to come in.

Less than 1 star. Expensive and HORRIBLE at their jobs. Ruin clothes. Continued going back thinking they'd get better, somehow worse. Can't even hem a sleeve and get them to match. You won't meet woman more rude in your life. Gas light customers into thinking it's somehow the customer's fault that the sleeves are two different lengths (has happened NUMEROUS time). This is the only yelp review I've ever left but it's because they are so rude / incompetent. $100 for two shirt sleeves to be hemmed and they ruined them. Do not support this business or waste your time ruining your clothing. read more

New opens when they say they are open. Super expensive for simple alterations. Didn't get my dress to me at the time agreed upon on drop off. read more

Price was higher than I anticipated but they did do a quick turn around so I was ok with it.

I will never go back here. I just moved to Birmingham and was recommended this place. I needed a dress hemmed a tiny bit and took it here and they told me it would be done in a week. A week later, I called to see if it was ready and they said no it would be ready on Monday. I couldn't get there on Monday so I went on Tuesday and it still wasn't ready. The owner said she forgot and left it in her car. She told me "come back tomorrow". I went in there Wednesday afternoon and it still wasn't ready. The owner told me "I told you to come back today" but she didn't specify what time ... at this point I'm extremely fed up because they have had my dress for over 2 weeks. I went Thursday morning to finally pick it up and they charged me $120 ... the dress was purchased for half of that price. And just a reminder it was a very basic hem off the bottom. I reminded her that it was over a week late and she wouldn't come down on price. Such a horrible experience. read more

Mary was a super sweet and friendly shop owner. I got a navy blazer tapered here for a very fair rate in 24 hours. They did a great job, and I felt much more confident in wearing the final product. She has a couple other ladies that work with her. She said she has done this kind of stuff for about 40 years or so I think since when she was a little girl. I will come back here again in the future for more taper/alteration/sewing needs. They don't give you the quote until they pin stuff around to see how much work they'll have to do, but you can probably negotiate stuff with them pretty well. Edit: I tried coming here a few times during business hours, which are quite hard to find anyways. Nobody was ever there. read more

See all

I was not told a quote for alterations when I initially brought my bridesmaids dress in & then when I went to pick my dress up, they told me an outrageous price for the bottom of the dress being hemmed, straps & bodice taken in about an inch. When I was shocked by the price, the owner came to talk to me and took $40 off the original price, proving that I was being extremely overcharged. I asked why they did not give a quote when I initially came, and they said because they "don't know how much work will need to be done." They have lost my business. What should have been a $60-70 alteration turned into twice that. read more

RIDICULOUSLY OVERCHARGED!!! And the work was not even good. Having to take back for them to redo. Stay away.

I went to get a bridesmaid dressed hemmed, and brought the shoes I would be wearing to try them on with. I assumed she knew what to do, and would hem it floor length. When I went to pick it up, my heels are showing and she said she hemmed it to be 1 1/4" ABOVE the ground! Her response was, well you can wear shorter shoes. After she charged me $90 to hem the dress! Extremely expensive and will not go back! read more

Terrible experience. My dress was not ready on the date they had given me (a generous three week time period to complete the job), and they tried to charge me more than we had additionally agreed upon. The owner was full of excuses about how difficult the job was, while at the same time stating that she could get it done on the same day. I took my business elsewhere, and I'd recommend you do the same if dealing with honest people is important to you. read more

For everyone saying that this is not the right place to go, just know that these ladies are giving service to multiple high schools in their area. I know when y'all walk in the shop y'all only see 2 woman. First they have Air Force uniforms for almost 100 students from each school to hem, put badges on,etc. On top off people that live around the area and then they have people that don't even live over in Homewood that bring multiple things in. Give them a break, there's only two of them and the prices are fair. Ya'll go to places to buy unnecessary things that are way more expensive than what they charge. So stop complaining so much, do you think you could get almost 200 hundred clothing items hemmed and fixed in a small amount of time with only two workers? No, i didn't think so, and if you said yes then be happy. Ya'll are probably half the age of those ladies , so give them a break stop complaining so much. read more

Great service! I am very pleased with everything I've had hemmed and repaired their. Quick work & fair prices.

I rarely give out a 1 star rating, in fact this may be my first one but I feel that it is accurate for my experience with this alteration store. I went here because I was told there was an Indian lady that works here that could fix my bridesmaid's sari for my wedding. I was excited to hear that I could find someone with experience with Indian clothes. Upon entering the store and showing her the outfit, she responded with "why did you come here? I don't want to fix indian clothes". I apologized and explained the situation and told her I was glad she was more familiar with the Indian type of clothing so I felt comfortable bringing it to her. She said she would fix it this time but never to bring any Indian clothes to her again. She charged $45 to let out a blouse which only cost $25 to make from scratch. She also said the blouse was made poorly and that it would take 2 weeks to fix. Well it actually took closer to a month and the end product was nothing to write home about. There was a 1/2 Inch difference between the left and right side of the blouse and the job was done poorly. If at least the product was good and the service was bad then I would be able to give this place more stars. The timeliness was not good, the end product was pretty bad, and the service was the worst I've seen. Highly recommend to go somewhere else for your alteration needs. On a side note, I talked to another friend that has gone here and she told me about her terrible experience as well. She was treated poorly and mischarged. Any place that doesn't want a customer and questions why I brought them something doesn't deserve to be revisited! read more

I would put NEGATIVE stars if I could. The mother daughter duo lost my bridesmaids dress when I came in to pick it up and had to search the whole store. I found the dress unaltered with 3 days left until the wedding. I brought that dress in about 3 weeks ago, by the way. They proceeded to say I was incorrect in coming in and picking it up now because the date they quoted was the April 30th (which it was that day), so they had until 5pm. It was 4:30 pm. If they couldn't hem a 3 layer, full length dress in 3 weeks, why would I wait 30 minutes? Not to mention, they charged twice as much as the other girls' tailors. I didn't know because I dropped my dress off before them. Needless to say, I took the unaltered dress, but not without a lot of rude comments on their part. I went with one of the other girls' tailors for waaayy cheaper. read more

save your money. i placed an order very early and told them i would need it by a certain date. the lady told me she would have the dress ready the night before the date i requested but to come by in the morning of the requested date. went by mid-morning to pick up the dress, and it was not ready... told me it could be done in 40 minutes.. when i received the dress the seams in the back were fixed but the button was not as we discussed and now my dress is not wearable as the button continues to pop and im back in the same situation i came in with. felt overcharged for their poor planning and poor service. yes there was a bad storm this week but i brought this way in advance for a storm one day before the dress was supposed to be ready to ruin their planning. read more

Has anyone ever spent almost $800 on alterations?! Because my father just did! And for only 3 pairs of trousers and 1 suit. Now I don't have much experience with the business, so I don't know how accurate that would be, but I feel it is way overpriced. I was thinking maybe $300-$400 at most. My parents could have gone out and bought 2 new suits for that much.....and I'm talking Macy's, not Brooks Brothers, people. I would love to hear from anyone who can tell me that was reasonably priced. Granted, my mother should have told them to call with an estimate when they knew what they were going to do, but a respectable and honest businesswoman would have called my mother first and said this is what we're going to charge you for everything that needs to be done. Would you expect that kind of behavior from your mechanic, for example? Just let them do all the repairs, never call you, and then stick you with a huge bill when you walk in? I would NEVER recommend this business to anyone, and if I myself ever need alterations I will ask for an estimate wherever I go. $800?!!!!!!! read more

The shop owner was very nice and kind and helped me with all of my needs. They clearly have a lot of experience with alterations and sewing.

Terrible service!!!! I brought a pair of dress pants in that needed a new zipper and jeans that needed a hole patched and pocket repaired. Told me it would be a week so when I returned, pants AND jeans not ready and they told me it would be another week. Came back a week later and the pants were repaired but only the hole in the jeans was fixed. Told me to come back in another week for the jeans. Came back a week later and they told me the pocket fabric was "special" and to come back again. These ladies are sorely disorganized and it's obvious they don't care much about anyone's time or getting items back when they say they will. When they tell you to come back in a week that's only a (very) rough estimate apparently. They are expensive too, telling me it would be $40 to put anew zipper on, repair a pocket and fix(patch) a hole. I used to go to Kim Liens but they moved and it's a long way away from me now, but they always did awesome work and had everything back when promised. I'll have to make the drive I think from now on! BEWARE. read more

This place is awful. We are still waiting for our repair to be finished, almost TWO MONTHS after dropping it off. We have called and stopped by in person to try to find out when it will be ready, and the answer is always, "Next week." NEVER GOING BACK. read more

I had 2 pair of men's dress pants that needed stitching (one hem at the bottom of the pant leg, the other was a small hole where the seam had come out). I showed the lady what work I needed to get done, and she quoted me $25 per pant. I thought that seemed a little much considering what needed to be done, but I have no experience in sewing or prices. I left my pants with her, got a ticket (to pick them up) and went to my car... While in my car, I started to research the cost of hemming a pant leg back and stitching a hole in a pair of dress pants. I came to find out that $25 was a ridiculously expensive amount to pay for something so simple. I had decided to ask a friend to help instead of paying $50 to repair 2 pair of pants. So I went back into the shop (probably about two minutes later) and I asked the lady if she had started working on my pants yet. She said very rudely "no but I was getting ready to". I told her that I had found someone else to fix them and I could just take them back (at this point I hadn't paid anything yet). She mumbled under her breath about how I was wasting her time and went to the back of the store to grab my two pants that were on hangers. As she was walking to me, one pair of pants fell off the hanger she pick them up off the ground and waded them up and handed them back to me one pant on the hanger one pant off the hanger. The way she handled the situation was very rude, and I don't recommend going to a place that over charges by so much. Not impressed!!! read more
