Absolutely terrible experience! We were referred to this alteration place by another tailor who was booked up due to prom season. The women here are kind, but that's about the only good thing I can say. I honestly don't know if they're inexperienced or just have never worked with a Black woman's curves before, but not one, not two, but three of my dresses were completely botched. I also had a top altered and it came back lopsided. After the first round of alterations, the owner tried to gaslight me, saying they had only adjusted the strap for my burgundy dress (which was never the main issue). I initially asked for the sides to be taken in because the bust area was too big, but somehow, that got lost in translation. So I paid AGAIN, for all to be fixed and what I got back was even worse. Everything felt rushed, uneven, and downright sloppy. I bawled my eyes out because these dresses were meant for my birthday trip. The white dress? It was the most horrendous one, imagine the outline of Sarah Baartman on a modern-day garment. That's how distorted the shape was. Even after a third attempt, the seams were still crooked and the dress was unwearable. I'm now left dressless for my trip and out of money. If I could give this place zero stars, I would. read more

Dawt did the alterations for my daughter's wedding dress, my dress and my other daughter's bridesmaid dress in September. Dawt is extremely professional and meticulous. The wedding dress came out perfect and the bustle stayed in place all night long. I would recommend her for any alterations, especially for important occasions. read more

Alterations Plus is the best, and I would never think of going anywhere else for tailoring, alterations or cleaning. Here's a story: My dog, Lego, lifted his leg all over our drapes. Living in Barrington, I (foolishly) brought the pee soaked drapes to Prestige Cleaners (don't EVER go there, and please read my Yelp review of Prestige for my full tale or woe). After over 2 months and 3 failed attempts to clean the drapes, and with the drapes still wet with dog urine, I went to see Jay at Alterations Plus. Jay assured me they would do their best and they did. 3 days later I picked up the immaculate drapes. Everyone at Alterations Plus is great, and the quality of their work is unmatched. Thanks! read more

I was in need of a rush alteration to my wedding dress as I found that I had lost too much weight after my initial alterations were done and the hips didn't fit well anymore. The original location who did the alterations wouldn't take the job as (1) it's the week before Thanksgiving and (2) I needed it by Nov 28th. I called Alterations Plus Wednesday evening 20 minutes before they closed, spoke with Jay (the owner), and he told me if I came in at 8AM the next morning, they could get it done. AND THANK GOD I WENT WITH THEM! Maria, their bridal seamstress, was just amazing. She saw exactly what needed to be done and got it fixed in 24 hours! My dress fits better than I did after the first alterations. Despite this entire experience beginning with complete panic, Jay, Maria, and Megan put my mind at ease. I cannot say this enough, thank you thank you thank you! I highly recommend this place. read more

The sandwich board says pants hemmed for $5.00 When the woman wrote up my invoice it said $15.00 When I asked why, she said prices start at $5.00. I said that's not what your sign says. She said it was triple the quoted price because they are a wide leg. Classic bait and switch. read more

Had my daughters prom dresses tailored. They did a great job. Very professional, and fast. Great staff and very good experience.

Do not take military uniforms here. Called them beforehand to ask if they knew how to sew stuff onto the Army uniform, as there is a standard as to how stuff goes on. They said they did. However, when I brought my stuff in, they asked a lot of questions about how stuff goes despite them saying that they "knew." They were even saying wrong things like cutting patches that didn't need to be cut. Did not give me a lot of confidence that they would get it right. Prices were also exorbitant. I was quoted for a simple sew on of $12 for each patch, with the final total being over $120. I've had this stuff sewn on before at other places and the usual is $4 or less per patch; so $12 was beyond ridiculous. Took my stuff elsewhere and got it all done for $20. read more

I can't say enough great things about Alterations Plus. I had several dresses that needed tailoring and the outcome was far superior than any other tailor I have been to. I get my clothing tailored often, especially dresses. Ive been staying with family for the past few months and all of my usual options were not available. I had taken items to another tailor in Providence and they did such a poor job that I had to find someone that knew what they were doing. Brought my items in on a Thursday and everything was ready by Monday evening. Fast, great craftsmanship, and the dresses look amazing! Highly recommend this shop. read more

They are amazing! I dropped off a pair of designer jeans and they had them ready in 3 hours! They only charged $10 !! If there just a regular hem it's $5. I wasn't expecting that at all. It's the week before the holiday too! The girl who helped me was so personable as soon as I return I plan on stopping in to let her know what a job she does with the customers! I wish I had know her when I had my salon. She wasn't there when I went to pick up my jeans. So till next the. I say bring all your alteration needs here ! I'll be back for sure! I am looking forward to there expertise when I bring a favorite pair of evening pants to have the bottom fixed after a heel had gotten caught and ripped the material. I'm confident that this is the place to have them me deed. read more

I rarely need alteration services, so when this place was recommended I jumped on it. I was in a time crunch for an alteration on a graduation dress and the staff worked with me to have the dress completed and looking amazing way quicker than expected! Maria did my alterations and she did a fabulous job! Would highly recommend this place if you need thorough and timely service!! read more

I love this place. Not only are they quick but they are so friendly and make you feel like they've known you for years. They can do all your high end stuff and even the simple tailoring. I'm beyond impressed with the customer service and the work they did. I highly recommend this tailor for any type of alterations you may need. read more

These folks have done consistently great work for me. I mostly have pants hemmed but in the past I've had a suit altered and a wool dress coat altered to fit me. I went in only looking to get the sleeves adjusted but they noticed a couple of tweaks that were needed, and after they were done it fit me like a glove! My fiance is hooked now as well. She has beautiful clothes and they find and fix the most subtle things that make everything fit perfectly! Friendly and courteous they just do great work at reasonable prices. read more

My friend got her wedding gown altered here and they completely butchered the dress. COMING HERE WAS A HUGE MISTAKE. The dress was all torn throughout the touille and they deconstructed it poorly so that when it was put back together it was all crooked and out of whack. The zipper was broken, buttons were missing, and they took out the unique details she loved about the dress. The owner was insanely rude and told her this was the best he can do and that she can take him to court if she has a problem. He didn't offer her money back and when she asked he basically told her to go screw. BRIDES BEWARE. DO NOT GET YOUR WEDDING DRESS ALTERED HERE. Also, look at their Facebook account- there are reviews that have similar situations, so this is clearly not a one-off!!!! read more

In searching for a wedding dress tailor for my dress Alterations Plus was recommended to me by a family member. Although everyone in the establishment was pleasant and professional their performance did not stand to par. In our initial appointment we discussed my dreams for the dress, and I had paid for the alterations in full. At the next appointment what we had discussed was not completed, and therefore needed further work. I was charged additionally. After $800 in alterations and being told the look I was originally agreed upon in conjunction with them was not achievable, I had my dress taken to a different seamstress. Per this new seamstress there were multiple errors on my dress, and she was finally able to alter my dress to my desired fit and comfort. read more

Wonderful wonderful place for alterations! I have been here several times now, for a bridesmaids dress, and my flower girls dresses. They are professional and reliable. I had an issue with my bridesmaids dress and they fixed it twice! Kind and friendly! Will be back :) read more

I've been going here for years because the staff are courteous and their work is quality. They've altered nearly every article of clothing you can think of for me from dresses for special occasions to every day shirts that just didn't fit right and I have loved the results every time. I get my clothes back quickly and the cost is unbeatable, I highly recommend them for alterations and dry cleaning. read more

The only reason I gave this business 1star is because I can't give it zero. I gave them a suit to clean and they lost it! I was given a run around for almost 3 months. They then told me they would replace my suit with a check for $30. I couldn't replace a tie for $30. Beware of this buisness read more

We have had an awful experience with this alterations place. My fiancé brought her dress in this past February. She had just a few important requests for her alteration and the seamstresses listened to none of them. The bottom of the dress was diced up, the hem was totally crooked, there's buttons missing, and the zipper is broken. The dress is now ruined, and we have to go to another alterations place to try and salvage it the best we can. Prices here were also outrageous. The owner has treated both my fiancé and members of our family like complete dirt. He's ignorant, obnoxious, and defensive. My fiancé is easy going and kind hearted, and the whole staff of this boutique took advantage of this and walked all over her. I don't want any bride-to-be to have to stomach the emotional turmoil she has gone through. I'd highly suggest taking your business elsewhere. read more

They did a fantastic job on a pant hem! Only $5, great service and friendly staff, will definitely be using them again!

I recently went to Alterations Plus for alterations on my wedding dress. The whole team here is fantastic. They completed the alterations quickly, but the appointments never felt rushed. Jay fully explained each piece along the way. Elliana and Megan were the best and made me so comfortable. I highly recommend this team of artists! I cannot wait to wear my dress on my wedding day!!! read more

DO NOT GO HERE!!! I went to get my wedding dress altered here. They charged me a ridiculous amount of money and did not even fix my dress. I ended up having to take it to a different alternation place in order for them to fix it correctly. They spilled coffee on my dress and tried to hide it by sticking it back in the bag. Little did they know they spilled the coffee on the bag as well. They kept ripping the lace on my dress and trying to say that they needed to pull my dress together and ruin the style of the dress or else it was just going to keep ripping, when I took it to the other alternation place the lady fixed the lace for me and I did not have a problem with it. They left pieces of string hanging off my dress all over the place. They were supposed to fix the hem and left the lace at the bottom bunched up and uneven. When I went to get it fixed the lady took two inches off one side of the dress because it was that uneven! When my mom called to complain and get money back the owner tried to ask if they would preserve the dress and fix it again my mother told them they will never touch my dress again. He then asked her to come in and talk about it. He then filed a POLICE REPORT saying my mother was HARASSING him. Yet he is the one who asked her to come in and talk about the dress and every time she would go there he wasn't in the store. PLEASE DO NOT GET YOUR WEDDING DRESS DONE HERE IF YOU WANT IT TO COME OUT RIGHT! They also say they give you a discount if you get your dress from ALEXANDRA'S BOUTIQUE that's a lie. And do not listen to them when they tell you they did MISS AMERICA/MISS UNIVERSES dress that's a lie!! read more

We were under the gun to get my husband a new suit for a wedding. We bought one less than a week before the event, but needed some alterations ASAP. We stopped in at Alterations plus and Jay was great! He explained to us in detail what needed to be altered and showed us why and how it would look after alterations. He went out of his way to measure my husband, recommend a shirt size, etc. The suit was ready within a few days and the price didn't break the bank. I'd definitely go back. read more

Michael A. In the past 6 months I have had two problems with the wash & press service. First problem occurred when they lost one of my shirts. No problem, the owner offered me to replace it with a couple of shirts that were previously owned. I thought that was weird but I went along with it. Second problem occurred when they burnt one of my shirts around the collar and along the front where it buttons down. I presented the shirt to the pleasant girl working the counter. She agreed that the shirt indeed was damaged and told me that they were experiencing problems with the laundry company they have subcontracted to perform the service. She said the owner would get back to me. After waiting nearly three weeks the owner, Jay calls me to offer a resolution to my situation of them damaging my shirt. I explained the shirt is damaged and I wanted them to replace me the cost of the shirt. The owner said he could not take money out of the register but he would give me credit in the amount of the shirt. I explained that I could not purchase a shirt with a credit slip from Alterations Plus and I wanted to be compensated with either a new shirt or cash. The owner told me if I didn't like it to take him to small claims court. Save yourself the aggrevation of having to go through something like this. Obviously this foreign owner does not care about customer service, he is more interested screwing his customers and sporting around his fancy Mercedes Benz. read more

When an another alteration place decided to close early the day before my interview for no particular reason this complicated my plans immensely. Fortunately, alterations plus was able to alter another off the rack suit for me within mere minutes of my arrival in their store. I will never let another business alter my clothes. The staff was not only very pleasant but the truly sympathized with my plight. I highly recommend them to anyone in the area for their tailoring needs. read more

Beautiful job altering a dress with same day service! The service was excellent!

Let me start by saying how wonderful these ppl are. We are fairly new customers. We found them by chance. Having two men in my house who both dress for work my ironing weekly was long. Two to three hours tops. Most of the dry cleaners in my area are pricey and for the amount of I have it was a big expense. But not since I found them. Reasonable in price and they offer a discount for military police and fire. The staff has become like family. I recently dropped off two pairs of boots for repair. Pick up and delivery for repairs is Saturdays. I was in need of the boots for a trip I was planning and I was in a bind because they would not have been ready on time. Today I received a call telling me they would make special plans to get me my boots on time for my trip. I was so apriecitve of the service they provide I felt the needed to immediately write this review. Now this is a special thing that have done for me but it was the reason why....she said u are a good customer...well it's because u are a great business to deal with. So if you haven't already tried them....please do. Megan ty for always being such a nice person and always smiling. read more

Let me start by saying I have been a customer here for years. I've gotten many things cleaned and altered over the years, but unfortunately my most recent visit will be my last. I took a coat here to be cleaned and it was ruined. The coat was white and when I received it after the cleaning it was yellow, dingy, and looked like it was a decade old ( I had just purchased it about 2 months prior). When I returned the next day with the coat and explained that it was in fact ruined, the owner told me he would work on the situation and see if it could be fixed. About an hour later he started TEXTING my cell phone about the problem asking where I had purchased the coat and so on. Personally I think texting instead of calling is a little unprofessional, but I tried to work with him. As the conversation went on he tried to tell me to return the coat to where I purchased it from. When I told him I no longer had the receipt he said that he called customer service and they would accept a picture of my bank statement with a purchase amount on it. Let me be clear...the bank statement read the name of the store and the amount paid to the store. This amount could have been for shoes, a pillow, a piece of furniture. There is NO specification of what is purchased and no retailer is going to just refund you an amount shown on a bank statement when they can't definitively prove what the item purchased is. He was basically just trying to get out of replacing the coat that he was responsible for ruining. When I went back for the coat I asked to be refunded at least for the cleaning price because obviously I wasn't happy with that either. He did not even give me back the full price for the cleaning. The customer service here is an absolute joke when things don't go smoothly. Totally mishandled, buyer beware! read more

Maria (a true dressmaker) altered my wedding gown PERFECTLY. I arrived here on recommendation from friends in the community - and was nervous based on a couple other reviews - but Jay the owner and Maria took exquisite care of me, my gown, and all of my mother's questions! They were supremely efficient and worked around my extensive travel schedule, and got my gown done in just one week. Maria did extensive work downsizing my gown - altering the shoulders to be just off-shoulder, and even adding a soft nude tulle underneath when she noticed the straps making my shoulders red from the irritating fabric. The first fitting was not perfect - the arm holes being small and the bust being not quite right - and she listened to Everything and in a week I returned and it was Perfect!! Shoulders, straps, arm holes, princess seams, side seams, waistband, breast cups (even changing the thread tacks so they were slightly adjustable for me), hem, and bustle. My mother sews and has altered many of our things herself and is Very impressed with the work - even with multiple alterations there are no picks/holes/stretch marks/thread tracks... the gown is perfect. And fits me like a glove. Thank you Alterations Plus! I'll be bringing all my tailoring work here. read more
