I found Philadelphia Bridal Alterations just scrolling on the internet. Didn't know what to expect…read morebut the reviews were amazing so I went ahead and booked and I couldn't have picked a better business. Ms Shirl was absolutely wonderful. She added a corset to the back, bustled the train and did the hem. The dress fit perfectly and I looked and felt amazing. I'm so happy with the final. Thank you so much Ms Shirl. I will definitely be back.

Shirl did an amazing job with altering my wedding dress. It was a sample dress so definitely needed…read moresome work. Not only did the dress fit like a glove, but every detail was impeccable. Shirl is also very responsive and I knew I was leaving my dress in great hands. Since Shirl started making her own dresses before she started altering them, she really understands how to adjust a dress in the most flattering way possible, and is a true expert at what she does. A huge bonus is that Shirl has an amazing sense of humor (dry and glorious!) which put me at ease during my fittings. I had plenty of options closer to me when I chose who would alter my dress, but am very happy I made the trek from South Philly to see Shirl!

He looked so handsome thanks to Michael's professionalism and extremely talented alteration and skills. Extremely generous as well considering I walked in, suit in had, with exactly one day before his graduation. It took him maybe 10/15 minutes to complete the job. I am so incredibly grateful for this man and this store! Highly recommend!!

First impressions are important. The staff at Julie's pulled something off that meant a lot in a…read moretime that mattered the most. I visited Julie's last week to drop off my work attire. I was told everything would be ready for pick-up on Saturday (as stated on the receipt) so I stopped in yesterday. The clothes are needed for work on Monday morning. When I handed the cashier my receipt, I was informed that my blouses were ready, but not my pants. I was not happy with this. The owner, Ria, approached me and said she didn't have my pants and asked when I needed them. I explained I work in Center City and wouldn't have time to come by before work on Monday. She said she could meet me at the dry cleaners today (Sunday) and provide the pants. My understanding is they don't dry clean dress slacks on premise. She took down my phone number and said she'd call me. Yesterday evening I got a phone call from Ria saying she had 4 pairs of pants ready and was willing to drop them off to me at my doorstep. I didn't know what to say. She drove from her home to get me my pants and hand them to me. The customer service blew me away. Ria said I would get a text message indicating when I could pick up the remaining pairs of pants. I'm sure you could imagine how displeased I could've been walking away from this business, but Ria was quick to turn a negative experience around and make sure I was a happy client. I can't thank Ria and Julie's enough for their dedication to their customers.

I had such a hard time getting my daughter's communion dress and when we finally found "the one" it was waaaay too long. the problem was, there were any GOOD tailors who would alter it because it had to be lifted from the waist since it was scalloped edges. I was recommended by a friend to try Venia's....good lord! he did an amazing job....not a stitch out of place and looks like that was how the dress came....I will continue to come here for all clothing alterations in the future.

Eric was very pleasant to deal with. I called on a Saturday afternoon and left a message. He called…read moreme back pretty quickly and we made an appointment for the next morning, Sunday, at 10 am. I had a wedding guest gown that needed to be taken up and it had to be done by that Friday. I drove to the shop and it was a small place with two rooms. It was in an old building, next to a realtor, with parking in a lot. The inside was old and also beat up, dirty, and dusty but I didn't let that bother me. A woman was working on the sewing machine. I don't know if that's Eric's wife. There's a room to change in the back so I put the dress on and Eric measured it. I left. Eric texted me that the dress was ready Friday morning. I picked it up and it was the perfect length. It looked great! It was taken up at the waist so the pretty bottom of the dress that had an asymmetrical ruffle was not touched. I was very happy with it. Later that day, I accidentally dialed the store number so hung up quickly. Eric saw that I called and called me back to make sure that everything was ok. How nice is that? I highly recommend this shop for anything that you need tailored. They do a wonderful job and it's worth every penny!
