BEWARE: Alterations from Rina will call you from a number listed as spam, NOT the number listed under their business. They did not leave any voicemails under the spam number letting me know my wedding dress was ready but had no problem leaving a voicemail 13 days after my wedding threatening to take me to court if I didn't pick up my dress. I wish I would have chosen a more professional seamstress to work on my wedding dress. Don't make the same mistake I did and go to a better seamstress! read more

My daughter took her dress to her to be altered. She is expecting in june .... She got married April 11 th. A week prior to her day she never heard from them .... They said they called her 5 times on March 21. Fast forward ... the number they were calling from was a "spam " number. So of course my daughter didn't answer They never left a message. .. on April 23 she gets a call from same number threatening her they will take her to court. for not getting her dress over 180$ Had no problem leaving a threat but no voicemail letting her know her dress was ready !!! She proceeded to go to her business. And told them to donate the dress they agreed but still wanted paid Rina told my daughter she didn't care that she was already married. And was pregnant !!! Very unprofessional !!! Thank goodness my daughter had a backup dress for her special day. Oh. rina also said ignore the bad reviews you see and read ! Wow. She is hiding her unprofessionalism ! read more

I got my bridesmaids dress altered here. I was supposed to receive a call to notify me of when the dress alterations were completed. Over a month went by with no calls. I tried to call the store multiple times and it went to voicemail every time. I would leave my name and number and never received a call back. When I finally was able to talk to someone, they told me there was a mixup and they gave my dress to someone else and lost it. When it was returned, I was never notified of the fact they lost it. When I finally picked up my dress, the owner was rude and did not apologies. She then proceeded to charge me $50 for the alteration, even after losing my dress and failing to contact me. The final straw was that my friend also sent her dress here for the exact same alteration and she was charged $30. read more

Alterations by Rina - Dinner Jacket - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

When I purchased my wedding dress, it is a few sizes too big. I initially brought it to Ms. Rina to get it altered and pinned. Long story short, Ms. Rina had to fix a mess for me. My family member insisted on altering it for me and well, it fit so poorly, so I brought it to Ms. Rina about a month prior to my wedding to see if she could work a little magic for me. Boy did she deliver! Ms. Rina was able to make that dress fit like a glove. I was so impressed on how beautifully she did the work with all the intricate beading. I felt so beautiful on my wedding day. Ms. Rina is so kind and amazing. She never expressed any frustration with the time or having to fix anything, she was always so kind. Her work is amazing and her prices are fair as well! Such a gem in Brookline! Thank you Ms. Rina!! read more

Rina is absolutely amazing. Hands down the best seamstress I have ever had the pleasure to do business with. To give a little context. I am a bodybuilder and getting suits to fit me just right has always been an issue for me. I have gone to several tailors and spent far more than I care to admit. Rina absolutely nailed it! She has done 9 of my jackets to date. I would never even think about going anywhere else. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Also, she is an absolute riot! So funny and pleasant. read more

Rina is a delight! I take my suits to her to be tailored and she is always super nice and the work is top notch. All my suits have been tailored for an affordable price and within a very reasonable timeframe. There is ample metered parking around Rina's shop and it is conveniently located to Just about anyone in the South Hills area. I enjoy my conversations with Rina, she is very pleasant to talk to and I always leave feeling like a valued customer. Just note that her business is cash or check only, but there's an ATM next door if you forget your checkbook. read more

One of my coworkers recommended Rina to me when I was looking for someone to alter my wedding dress. I'm so glad that I went to Rina's shop! She was very kind, patient, and addressed all my questions and concerns. She's a very talented seamstress and knows exactly what she's doing! I needed to have the bodice of my dress taken in, straps added (it was originally strapless), the dress hemmed and bustled. The turn around was in time with my wedding date and when I called to check in, she was very responsive and provided updates. When I went back in for another fitting, I was so happy with how well the bodice fit me - it was like a glove! She added cups in it too which I greatly appreciated since I wasn't going to wear a separate bra. I loved how my dress looked but was unsure about the added on straps. Rina suggested I go to The Fabric Place to look for embellished trim I could add to really pull the look together. I was able to find a beaded trim that matched the beaded belt on my waist. She also added a draped strap on each side too, which completely transformed the look! I was so happy with the outcome and loved that Rina was able to truly customize my dress! I felt beautiful and comfortable in it. Received a lot of compliments on the style too - very happy! I highly highly recommend Rina to anyone, especially if you're a bride. You can trust Rina 100%!! read more

Calling all Pittsburgh brides: this is the place to go to get your wedding dress altered without spending a fortune. The dress shop where I purchased my wedding dress closed so I had to quickly find a place to do the alterations. There were a lot of alternations needed so I was a bit nervous but after some great online reviews and a recommendation from a friend , I gave Rina a call. I was able to make an appointment the next weekend for my first fitting. Appointments really are not needed. Rina quickly took the measurements and has a lot of experience working with wedding dresses. She did all of the work very quickly (less than a month and 2 fittings later) and it all come out to $300 (including taking the dress out in 3 spots, adding a sweetheart neckline and the bustle, plus fixing the side seems, and adding cups into the dress). Rina and her coworkers are such sweet ladies and she now has me as a customer for life! read more

Don't use if you want on time and have garment soiled. Before item was taken we called to make sure it could be done in time. When she said she could we took garment in. It was nEw pants with the tags on. The item was not done even a day after the day stayed it would be done. When I got there to pick up she couldn't even find it. She gave it to a friend to do at her home. I had to come back hours later to pick up and almost missed plane. When arrived at hotel I tried them on to make sure they fit properly and there were brownish red stains on them and the tags were removed. I had to Uber to a mall to purchase a new suit for an interview. When I contacted her in regards to this she told me to bring it in. When I returned and took item in, she said I put the stains on them. Never apologized and took responsibility !!!!! Wasted $80 for pants and insisted I at least got the fee returned. Her response was I just wanted money!!! Horrible person and service. Don't trust her with your clothing read more
