    Sylvia is a wonderful old school tailor. I've had her alter at least ten dresses for me due to weight loss.

    My black canvas purse had torn and two other places didn't even want to try the repair. This shop…read morenot only completed the repair, but they went beyond the basic repair, matched up the metal rings to make the bag look more polished than it was when I first bought it, and sewed unobtrusive black leather patches over the canvas around the rings to make sure that the rings wouldn't tear through the canvas again. Some women have collections of purses in different sizes and colors that they accessorize daily. I don't. I seek out and acquire one sturdy but lightweight black fabric purse (with multiple pockets and compartments that can keep me organized) that I use all the time except for very dressy occasions, and generally, I use that bag for years until it's no longer usable. I set up the bag so that each pocket or compartment holds very specific items, and I become very accustomed to how it's set up. I hate having to change bags. This shop understood exactly what I needed, and went above and beyond. The next time I need that kind of repair, or any alterations, I'm coming back to this shop. The repair wasn't cheap, but it was worth every penny. They do excellent work.

    EXPERT TAILORS!!! I had a last minute event with a very…read morespecific Arabian nights theme.. After securing a gold lace gown.. I needed a complete overhaul of the gown. Hem Over Heels expert tailor, Alex. came to my aid by snatching the waist and hemming it to the perfect length. He is truly masterful in his craft! The gown fits perfectly, and it is now very stunningly elegant Lena also tailored my back up gown... which I ended up wearing! It was the perfect length, and I was able to walk around the party gracefully and effortlessly.

    Sadly, Maria's work is great but her TIME MANGEMENT is deplorable! I dropped of my suit on…read more11/18/25...and on 2/10/2026...it is still not completed!!! I had planned to wear the suit on New Year's Eve...that night came and went. Then on Valentine's Day...well, that will not happen. Always a promise from her...tomorrow, no tomorrow. Unfortunately, no matter how great her work is, you may never get your item(s) back completed on time...or if you do, will they even fit months later?! Stay away from this seamstress. As a point of information...I AM A REPEAT CUSTOMER. UNACCEPTABLE! If there was a rating below ZERO, that rating would apply here. Result...I picked up my suit...unfinished, and will be taking the suit elsewhere for TIMELY delivery!

    I dropped off two items to be taken in on July 7. I paid in full in advance as it was a requirement…read moreand my receipt was marked as a rush. I was promised the items would be ready on Friday, July 18 by no later than 3:30 PM as I had stated when I dropped them off that they were part of a birthday outfit for my cruise and I was leaving on Saturday morning I was promised items would be ready. My friend went to pick them up today at 3:30 and was told that the items were not ready to come back at 5 PM. She went back at 5 PM to pick up the items and they had not even been started yet. I was on the phone at the time and was told "the air-conditioning went out in the building" I told her while I understand that things happen, I should've been notified well in advance that my items would not be ready as promised as they were for a special occasion, and she assured me that they would be ready. I asked her why she did not call me and she said that she is a busy woman. I absolutely will never use this place again, when asked for a refund, she told my friend it would be Zelled A refund and that "I'm a friend she knows me". This is the first time I have met this woman. I immediately called back and said I wanted the Zelle right away to confirm that I would be getting my refund to which I was told that she had to wait until she got home that night to do it from a computer, I said, don't you have a computer in the office or the app on your phone and she said it can only be done from her home phone!!! As of right now, I am out $52 as a patiently wait a Zelle and now I am out my birthday outfit for my cruise tomorrow morning I am completely disappointed and upset!!!!!!!!!
