I've had three dresses altered by Josiane Fashion House, and every experience has been wonderful!…read moreJosiane is kind, welcoming, and truly creative. She not only did an amazing job with the alterations but also gave me great ideas on how to style my dresses differently--and they turned out even more beautiful than I imagined. She always delivers on time and is very open to suggestions, even last-minute ones. I would recommend her without a doubt to anyone looking for quality work and a personal touch!

Josiann knew just how to make it work, plus she completed the task in advance of the due date. I'm grateful for her services as a quality seamstress. I understand that she creates custom clothing and outfits as well, which is a pleasant, local alternative to fast-fashion or on-line shopping.

The shop is not just cluttered, it is filthy. She advertises a two-day turnaround. She told me my dress would be ready in a week. The dress was ready, when promised. However, when I went to pick-up the dress, she would not let me try it on. Upon arriving home, I found that the dress was too long. Because she is a cash-only business, I could not stop payment. Expensive. Shoddy alterations. Filthy environment. Sketchy pick-up. Poor renovations. Lousy business practices.

The Sewing Shop is pure magic! They took my too-big, I'll fitting wedding dress that I already…read moreloved and turned it into a masterpiece! They are truly masters of their craft. I cannot even begin to tell you the amount of compliments I received on my wedding dress and I felt absolutely beautiful in it the whole day. When I first contacted The Sewing Shop, I had already been in contact with several other shops that were too busy to take on my requested services. My phone call was excellent with such friendly demeanor, and all three of my visits were fun and enjoyable. I had no idea my dress needed as much work as it did and they still took on the project even after I misled them saying I only needed a slight alteration. The cost of the alterations were a bit too expensive but you are paying for the quality of work and years worth of experience from this husband and wife couple! The only thing that happened with my dress was that the bustle kept breaking buttons off the back of my dress but I believe this was entirely tied to how heavy my train was and how much jumping around dancing I was doing. The bustle before some buttons snapped was perfectly placed and the perfect length for me to walk around comfortably!

I wish that Yelp allowed for 6 star reviews because Sarah would deserve it…read more I took my lace wedding dress to the 2 best rated tailors in Boston, no exaggeration, both made Best of Boston and they both were extremely disappointing. I frantically emailed Sarah 4 days before my wedding because I had finally given up when the last tailor STILL after 4 fittings didn't get my train correct. Sarah calmly took my dress and made it beautiful. She fixed everything and redid much of the work that was sloppily done from before. I swear that it looked like a different more beautiful dress once Sarah had it for 48 hours. I recommend any bride getting married between Boston and Portland, ME to come to Sarah if you want your dress to be in the best hands.

Sarah is a miracle worker when it comes to alterations. I purchased my wedding dress off the rack…read moretwo years ago and it was six sizes too large for me! She COMPLETELY deconstructed my dress and rebuilt it (there wasn't one piece of that dress that wasn't reworked!) over a matter of two months. Her talent is simply amazing, not to mention she is also very personable and a joy to work with. Oh, and her prices were extremely reasonable, which was a real plus for a bride on a budget! She has a cute little shop in the time and temp building (she talked about moving, so definitely give her a call to confirm where she's at)... I highly recommend Sarah for any of your tailoring and alterations needs!
