Amy shortened the sleeves on my M-65 jacket. She was able to keep the Velcro tabs in place. Nice work!

Amy was so great to work with during a busy summer of weddings! She altered my dress in 3 locations - shortened the bottom hem, sleeves and back v of my dress. It fit perfectly and looked so beautiful on my big day. Since the fabric was delicate embroidery, she had to hand alter everything. I would trust her with any alterations and highly recommend. read more

Don't bother looking for someone else, because I don't think you'll find someone better in Bellingham. read more

I like the reviews, would like to find a tailor, but every time I call during business hours I get a recording, it doesn't say where I've called, (which I really don't like with a business) and no one has bothered to reply to the two messages I've left for alterations. Maybe she's not there anymore? read more

Amy is a gem. I'm so glad I found her shop years ago. She's a hard worker who is dedicated to helping her clients-even in last minute jams. I recently asked her about a vacation she was planning and she casually shared it's postponed so she can help a bride with her dress. WHAT? And she shared this in such a sweet generous tone-like it was her duty to help. Her prices are unbeatable too. So thankful for her. read more

Got my bridesmaid dress altered with only 3 weeks to the wedding date. Amy was welcoming and professional and her prices very reasonable also! read more

I cannot recommended this shop to anyone, unless I don't like them. All I needed was my jacket zipper repaired. When I picked up the jacket, the zipper was a good 2 inches short! When I asked about it the lady said they don't make zippers long enough. 30 seconds of Google at home showed me otherwise. Heck, they make zippers for sleeping bags which are measured in FEET! Took $35 CASH ONLY UPFRONT and 3 weeks. I even provided my phone number, but they didn't bother calling to tell me they didn't have the right materials. And just to make it all even worse, the (too short) zipper jams up right around the pocket area! read more

I came in with a super last minute order, over a holiday weekend. Amy was extremely kind about the fitting and told me it would be a rush order. I picked it up on time and she charged me less than the original price! She was extremely friendly and helpful through the entire experience and my dress looks fantastic! Will be going back! read more

Amy is an amazing business owner. She is extremely talented and fairly priced. She was recommended to me by a friend. I was skeptical because I had never had anything altered before. The bridesmaid dress was ordered over the phone and was 3 sizes too small. Amy turned it into a corset and it looked wonderful. She also worked miracles with a dress my mom bought for the wedding. My mom looked incredible in the dress and Amy had put in a bra and some clasps for support. She is truly gifted at her craft. It was money well spent!! I am taking my wedding dress to her as well. :) read more

We have now used Amy twice for alterations, once for men's jacket and slacks, once to take in women's slacks. She is great: quality work, friendly and efficient. I was also was impressed when she talked about what is currently trending. Amy keeps up so she can advise her customers. Great service. So I recommend you support this local business, it keeps our community viable. read more

Amy is a very talented woman and she runs a great business. I went to her for the first time a year ago when I needed my oversized wedding dress tailored down to fit my small frame. I had "interviewed" several other alterations places in Bellingham to get a price quote and an estimate on how long it would take. Every place I tried was either far too expensive, too "sketchy," or said I would have to wait months before my dress would be ready. I tried Amy's as a last resort. I'm so glad I did! Instead of calling ahead, I walked right in. And although she seemed busy, Amy immediately made time to do a fitting right then and there. She was very sweet and very upfront about the costs and time frame. The price was amazing and she said that she would work hard to have my dress back to me within weeks. I was sold. During each fitting, she made me feel like I was the most important customer in the world. And when I finally got my dress back, it fit absolutely perfectly!! And I must say that it probably wasn't an easy dress to tailor. She had to take it in around 3 sizes, the fabric was very delicate and there were many many layers and ruffles. I also really appreciated her giving me multiple options for the bustle (one more complicated/expensive and one a bit simpler/cheaper) instead of just doing it and surprising me with a large bill. And for the cherry on top of this lovely experience: As I was paying the bill, Amy suggested that I purchase one of the zippered wedding gown garment bags to protect my dress, instead of the celo bag I was currently using. As a bride on a very tight budget, I told her I couldn't afford it. And she said, "well, I think you need it so I'll give it to you for free." From start to finish I received star treatment from Amy. As a small business owner, she deserves to succeed. I highly recommend you go to Amy for your alterations needs. read more

I had grown accustom to receiving marginal to just down right unbelievably poor service during almost every bridal vendor appointment I had made. I guess that's what happens when your planning a modest wedding and not a bank busting $120,000.00 affair. *****I am looking at you Davids Bridal Burlington and Hagan Barkley Village. Anyway, all of my built up vendor animosity quickly melted when I arrived for my scheduled appointment at Amy's. Not only was she there and ready to answer questions and give helpful advice. But she even suggested ideas I had never even dreamed were possible on my budget :) The alterations made my dress fit so well I cried and I am not a crier. She made sure I was happy,comfortable and content with the ENTIRE process. Your amazing!!! Thank you for making my special day that much more Special! read more

I've been taking my clothing repairs to Amy for many years now and must say that Amy really goes the extra mile with her clients. And as far as price, she is very fair. I highly recommend her to all my clients. read more

My husband lost a lot of weight and needed major alterations on his suits. Amy did a great job with a challenging project. The suits look new again and fit beautifully. In addition the price was good and the service was cheerful and professional. We will definitely come back. read more

This is the kind of small business that everyone wishes they could find but is unfortunately becoming rarer. I can verify that Amy does great work and is also reliable and unfailingly courteous and kind. When I have been in her shop I have always thought about how hard she must work, but it doesn't show in her manner. I hope she stays in business for a long, long time. read more

Amy is amazing! I needed my dress ready to pick up on short notice, and instead of complaining or charging extra, she cheerily said that it would be ready the day before I needed it. And it was! Not only altered, but steamed and ready to wear. Her pricing was so reasonable - especially for such quality work and great customer service. Please support this talented, hard working small business owner over David's Bridal or another major chain. All of my alterations will go to her - no question! Thank you, Amy! read more

Just had Amy's repair 3 items and couldn't be more pleased. Quick service at reasonable cost. Much better than tossing them in a landfill. Fix those still serviceable clothes! read more

This lady was recommended highly to my DIL when she searched for someone to alter her wedding dress. Clearly her high ratings did not come from her alterations. I have never seen such poor work especially from someone who claims the are a professional. I could have done better and I am not a seamstress. Her seams were not smooth or straight at ALL!! She cut the front slit then pulled it together and sewed it leaving a horrible tuck in the front of her dress. The bustle looked like a child sewed it on and she pulled it so tight it left a noticeable tuft on the back of her dress. NOTHING layed smooth and nice. Both hips were totally different shape (and bumpy from her seams) and she brought in some areas to much. She had to shorten the dress as my DIL is ver petite. When she cut the shear layer it curled on the bottom and instead of smoothing it she sewed it that way. She got many stains from her hands and ink used for the alterations all over the dress. She only did one fitting and cut the fabric before making sure everything was good. She frayed the fabric at the seams with bad stitching. There was no going back. She destroyed her dress and charged her hundreds of dollars. She had a complete loss and had to get a new dress. Amy was very unprofessional and even though the dress was proof of her poor workmanship she argued and said she did a great job. After many contacts with her to get money back she finally gave her HALF of the money she charged her. She should have got ALL the money back plus the cost of the dress she destroyed!! I am sharing in hopes to prevent another bride from having to go through this. It is heartbreaking and expensive to have a dress so special get ruined. I wish I could post pictures here to show everyone because you could easily see what I am trying to say and the poor work. read more

I was looking for a tailor to make some adjustments to a suit and shirt before a wedding and came across Amy's. She had the best reviews in town and could complete the alterations by my requested date so I gave her a try. She was very friendly and helpful immediately upon entering. After changing into my suit, she listened to my instructions and made all the appropriate marks. She understood exactly what I was looking for and promised to have it done early. When I came to pick up my suit I was pleasantly surprised she remembered me and a couple small details I mentioned. After trying on the suit I was blown away by the job she did. I'm a pretty tall and skinny guy so I like my suits slim which means they require quite a bit of alterations off the shelf. She did a fantastic job tapering the pants and bringing them in on the rear so they didn't look saggy. The jacket was the prefect amount of snug without the lapel sticking out and the shirt was just right so that there wasn't separation or pulling near the buttons. I was all around very impressed with her work and would highly recommend her. read more

Amy is amazing! I came to her on short notice and she took care of everything. She is so sweet and I will be bringing my business to her in the future. read more
