The staff were very friendly, and the atmosphere was cool. The owner was very flaky and unprofessional. My first visit was spent listening to her brag about her reality show that didn't get picked up. The second visit was ok, and when I was scheduled to come in the third time they called me an hour before my appointment to cancel because they had done nothing to my dress in the 6 weeks it was there. I live 3 hours away and she knew that so I was already in town with a bridesmaid so we decided to go in any way and show her what was done. We sat in the lobby for a half hour visiting with the receptionist, after which the owner came out and yelled at me because she could hear what I was talking about and it was adult oriented (there was nobody else in the lobby and only adults in the building) I had no idea so I tried to appologize but instead she kept yelling at me like I was a child and not a customer who already paid $500 on am unfinished dress. The receptionist finally put me in my gown and I stood in the dressing room for another half hour while Brenda ignored me and took other appointments. Finally I took myself out of my dress and left, with my unfinished gown I paid for and had to have a seamstress back home finish and fix her shoddy work. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone ever. And I have since spoke with other customers of hers who have similar horror stories. read more

I made several calls to arrange an appointment to have my daughters dress altered for a wedding she was in. Even though the hours were odd , I had some time to take her after work for a mid week fitting. I never got a live person on the line, even when I called at regular business hours. My voicemails went unreturned. The wedding was 5 months ago . Still zero communication before or after. It's hard to work with a company that doesn't want to be contacted. I ended up going to a place I. White bear lake to get the dress done. It was a 45 minute drive each way from my home, but I got a real person to answer my calls every time at the competitor! The competitor even opened their shop early in the day of the rehearsal so I had enough time to get my affairs in order and make sure the dress fit! This is what real service looks like and this shop could learn a tip or two from colleagues in the same industry. read more

The team at Amazing Alterations went above and beyond! I had used them for a bridesmaid dress in the past, and they did a fantastic job!! I needed a cotton dress altered prety quickly, and instead of trusting my instincts, went somewhere else. It was a disaster!!! I thought my dress was ruined and I was super panicked because I need to leave in the morning! I called Amazing Alterations and they SAVED THE DAY! They were able to undo what the other awful person did, and make my dress fit great! They were quick, super affordable and I have learned my lesson! Now that I know they are great at everyday attire too, they are my new go-to for alterations! Thank you to Brenda and the whole team at Amazing Alterations! read more

Overall, the product they put out was great. I got my wedding dress tailored here, and it fit like a glove. It was beautiful. I live in Minneapolis and drove to Anoka for each of my appointments because I heard great things about Amazing Alterations. BUT the experience along the way was just okay. It makes me wonder if there's a better place closer to Minneapolis that did just as great of a job. I wish they would explain who will be doing the alterations and their whole process, because I was confused with all of the different people I worked with. I also wish they could be a little more professional. The owner's dogs were walking around the whole place, and they even stepped on my dress a couple times. They weren't dirty, and the part where they stepped was going to be cut off anyway, but it still made me nervous. Each time I had been there, they were crazy busy, and people were running around everywhere. I recommend you go there during the day of a weekday if you can. Also, note that the parking lot and their front door is in the back of the building. That was kind of confusing at first. read more

Wonderful experience getting my dress altered. I was able to get in easily, and they worked with me to alter it to fit my needs (we shortened it, took off sleeves, opened the arm holes a bit more, added a simple belt and added a simple bustle). Even when it was really busy I felt like I was given appropriate attention and advice. Highly recommend! read more

Amazing Alterations did a beautiful job on my wedding gown. I worked with Brenda and she was fabulous. I only had time to do two fittings, and luckily that's all I needed. My dress fit LIKE A GLOVE and I literally wore it until 5:30 am, the morning after the wedding. I couldn't take it off, I loved it so much! read more

My experience here was mostly positive! There was one seamstress who was a bit too blunt for my taste. She actually bad mouthed my original bridal shop and had very strong opinions about what I should do with my dress. Otherwise everyone else was great! read more

I needed a last minute alteration to my bridesmaid dress and the staff at Amazing Alterations were absolutely wonderful to work with. Everyone was so friendly and attentive, plus the building itself is gorgeous and very inviting. I would go back to them for any alteration needs. read more

If you're planning a wedding, definitely make sure you use amazing alterations. The staff is super friendly, and Brenda, the owner, is beyond helpful. She has a HUGE Bible of business cards and can help connect you with anyone you may need for details for your special day. You feel like a Queen from the second you walk in the door of the beautiful shop. read more

I was very disappointed in the quality of service. They were short staffed and I waited a significant amount of time until I was helped. I was not satisfied with how they altered my dress either, the arm hold were way too tight! In order to make that change, I would have had to pay another $40 dollars on top of the $100 for normal altering. As a bridesmaid of many other weddings this year, I was looking for affordable pricing and felt mislead in the other reviews I looked. read more

Thanks so much to Brenda and the staff at Amazing Alterations. They made time to squeeze my daughter in at the last minute to sew a belt onto her wedding gown when another seamstress told us she could not. I was frantic but Brenda really made me feel at ease and was very reassuring when I spoke with her on the phone. The belt was really the focal point of the dress so without it the dress would not have been the same. Thank you....Thank you...Thank you....we are extremely grateful. I would highly recommend Amazing Alterations. read more

Horrible experience, horrible customer service!!! I sent this email to the owner of Amazing Alterations and never even got a reply or phone call!! "For now I am contacting you instead of writing a bad review on yelp or any other website. I am very unhappy with how the dress I brought to you to alter turned out. The dress needed to have additional material added on the sides. When I went to the first fitting on April 16 Brenda, the owner, determined how much extra material would be needed and even made the comment "it's always easier to take some off but not so easy to add it on". When I went for the next fitting on April 28 the waist was tight-it zipped but was incredibly uncomfortable. I did not see Brenda but told the woman helping me that it was too tight and she said it would fit better after the straps are altered and that the material stretches. Today I picked up my dress and it is still very tight and very uncomfortable-and I'm afraid it's going to rip! I have had my own wedding dress and been in other bridesmaid dresses before and never had a dress fit this bad! There is no way Brenda calculated the correct amount of material needed for the sides in the beginning-and I thought she was going to be on the generous side because of her comment April 16 (which makes complete sense). The dress went from a floor length to a mid calf length-there was plenty of material to use. I feel this dress should be fixed correctly at no cost to me before I leave for the destination wedding on May 15. Please respond." I was really hoping they would at least try to make things right. No luck. Not even a response. The dress was so uncomfortable that I had to take it off right after the ceremony! Please think twice before going here! read more

My daughters wedding dress was altered at Amazing Alterations. They were very unprofessional and kept referring to her as a big girl. They would refer to her chest as the girls even after I asked them to stop. In addition, at the final fitting the owners dogs were there. Every time my daughter would try to walk in her dress she would have to worry about them jumping. They put lace on the bodice of the dress and it ended up crooked. Just altogether a very bad experience and completely unprofessional. read more

I can't say enough about Brenda and her staff...kind, caring, professional, talented, and AWESOME! I showed up in tears due to the incompetent wedding shop I bought my dress from, and they were ready with hugs and talented hands! I wasn't sure how I was going to get the bra support I needed in a dress with a keyhole in the back, which the wedding shop said wouldn't be a problem at all (it was, a gal with DD needs a good bra!), and Brenda had at least 5 ideas of how we could make it work if I didn't find a bra. It turns out I did find a bra that works, and Brenda continued all the necessary alterations to make the dress fit me like a glove. I was told by several people the night of my wedding that they thought my dress was the prettiest one they had ever seen, and while I am sure they have said this to other brides, I wouldn't have even gotten the compliment if Brenda hadn't saved the day and made the dress wearable in the first place! Thank you, thank you, thank you! read more

My granddaughter went to Amazing Alterations to have her wedding dress altered. Brenda, the owner, has two Chinese Crested dogs. When we came in, the dogs were sleeping on the back of the sofa in the center of the main room. (Keep in mind that we were asked to put on slippers before we entered to prevent tracked in dirt). As my granddaughter was standing in her expensive wedding dress in front of the full length mirror just feet from the sofa, and Brenda was kneeling on the floor discussing options, the dogs became restless. Brenda asked one of her co-workers to take the dogs outside. When they came back in, one of the dogs WALKED ACROSS my granddaughter's train.(Luckily, no visual harm was done.) I was shocked. Brenda did not react at all. Just said "Sorry, they are my daughters since I can't have children". I didn't know what to do. It was my granddaughter's call. If it were up to me I would have taken the dress elsewhere. I love animals. I work at an animal clinic. But I know what dog's carry on their feet and how their nails can cause damage. It was unbelievable. We were under a time crunch so we left the dress and hoped for the best. When my granddaughter picked up her dress just one small thing that she asked for that was not done. Because of the unprofessional atmosphere, I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. Who knows what the garments are exposed to when you're not there to see how they are being handled. There are too many stresses on a bride to be subjected to a non professional situation such as we encountered. read more

I would not bring my gown here again. When I first brought my wedding dress in, it basically fit - size 4 and stayed up, just needed to be shortened and have boob cups put in. There was also some wrinkling in the bodice that I asked them to try and remove. When I cam back the next time for my fitting my gown didn't zip up. They had put the cups in so low that they sat on my rib cage and made the dress unbearably tight. And in response to the wrinkling they said that they tried but couldn't get the wrinkles out so instead they removed an entire layer of the bodice without asking me. And now, you can see the all boning through the dress. I tried to get over it but the more they tinkered with the dress the more it looked less and less like the dress I bought. The clean lines that I loved were puckered and uneven. I think fundamentally they have this idea that in order to fit everything has to be skin tight, which is not correct. They pulled my bodice so tightly that it folded and they said that meant it was fitting properly. Which it was not. Don't let them bully you into thinking it has to be skin tight, you only wear the dress for about 12 hours on the day of, that's not enough time for it to properly stretch out so you can breath. It ended with me crying and them saying they would refund me for the bodice, which never happened. And to top it off, the dress was not done, one boob cup wasn't even fully sewn into the dress and kept flopping everywhere. read more

My sewing machine was causing my stitches to pucker so I didn't want to chance ruining my husbands new slacks that needed to be hemmed . I might add they were taken in at the waiste as well , and that part you did a fine job , thank you . The concern I had was with the hem job . My husband is a 66yr. young man love you sweetheart . I think it's safe to say how ever that he will no longer have any more growth spurts . Who ever did the hem job did not cut off any excess material before hemming them. My husband even questioned as to why they didn't cut any of the excess material . The answer you gave him ? You said not a word.He knows from watching me that because there is so much material I need to cut some of it off before hemming them . There is a 3 1/2 inch hem line on his slacks ! , and because you didn't trim any of the material the stitching is all puckered exactly what I wanted to avoid , and why I had him bring them into you . I'm embarrassed to have him wear them for people to think I did the hem job. I forgive you , but please be more mindful & listen to what your customers are saying. Again I am pleased with the alterations to the waste , but not satisfied with the hem job. Sincerly , Patricia S. read more
