This is truly my favorite seamstress shop ever. Maria and her team are AMAZING! I brought my…read morewedding dress in and it was probably 2-4 sizes too big. She essentially cut the dress in half and remade a whole new dress. She added thicker straps, hemmed the bottom beautifully, removed a layer of unnecessary fabric, added breast pads, and gave me a beautiful shape by fixing the whole top half. The process was easy and fun. I will 10000% be coming back for future projects!

She needed a hem in both and one was very complicated in that it had a large band at the bottom so that had to be removed and reattached. One also had adjustable straps which I hate so he made them permanent to fit her and they fit perfectly. The most amazing job he did for us was for a 1980s pink power suit my daughter needed to be in a musical (Rock of Ages). He took the entire suit down 4 sizes and it fit her like a glove!

Her services are very reasonably priced, she works quickly, and she goes above and beyond to make sure you look and feel your best. We added straps to my dress pretty late in the process because I was started to second guess my choice of a strapless dress... she just whipped out her box of dress straps she's saved over the years and we found the perfect match! I would recommend Pins and Needles to anyone looking for alterations - wedding or other!

Christina did a phenomenal job with my wedding dress alterations. I was really worried about…read moregetting my dress altered as it needed some work and wedding dresses are expensive! Several of my colleagues go here and have raved about Christina and her work, so I entrusted them and her. I needed the back taken in as it pushed out too much, the bottom taken up as I'm short (even with heels), cups added into the chest area, and the bright white cups the designer put under the lace taken out. Christina did an excellent job with all the alterations she made. She was friendly, personable, efficient, and talented. At my final fitting, I wasn't loving how my chest sat in the dress with the cups and Christina made sure I was happy before leaving that day. We altered the cups quite a few times until it worked with my body. I am so happy I chose Pins & Needles for my alterations and would absolutely go back should I find myself needing alterations again.

If I could give more than five stars I would!…read more I found Lynn's Perfect Stitches from the preferred seamstress list given to my by my bridal shop. So of course, I turned to Yelp to find my best options. There was a shop in Medford, MA in my hometown, but based on Lynn's good reviews I decided to trek all the way to North Andover. If you are coming from the 93, be prepared to drive through a national forest (pretty cool and calming to be honest) to get here, but trust me... it's worth your trip. Lynn does a FANTASTIC job on alternations. She listened to what I wanted, gave advice and suggestions (and yes, she knows her stuff) but ultimately what made me love her the most was how easy she was to work with. I went 4x to try my dress and towards the end I made a very late decision to take out the push up part of my bust (sorry TMI!) and she worked with me and even went in early two days later so I could try it on before I left for my wedding. I cannot say I was the easiest bride, but I can say she was ALWAYS so pleasant to work with. There are comments below about her price points, while I will say wedding dress or formal dress alternations are NOT cheap, it really matters with quality of the alterations. Wedding dresses are not "one size fits all" in fact mine was way too big for me and Lynn did a perfect job to get my dress to flatter my body type. So in the end I was and still am willing to pay $ for good alternations and exceptional customer service. The comments I got on how fitted my dress was were insurmountable and I truly felt like a beautiful bride on my wedding day. Other plus' about her shop are that it's off the Turnpike in North Andover, not too far from 93 and there is always plenty of parking. I drove to see Lynn from Medford and it wasn't that bad of a ride. Definitely call to make an appointment, you won't regret it!
