I had been looking for someone in the area I can trust with my most treasured shirts for sometime until a friend referred me to Allyson. She's done many alterations for me and I am very satisfied with the results. Since no one makes dress shirts for tall skinny men I can now buy whatever I find off the rack and Allyson will turn into a custom piece. She also has great ideas so the consultations are usually a 2-way exchange of ideas especially if you're not quite sure what you want. The price is very fair and she sticks to the promised turnaround time. read more

My wife and I recently relocated to the Hudson Valley for our first professional jobs. This meant two things: a need to dress like an adult and a need to find a first-class tailor/seamstress to help alter our wardrobes-on-a-budget to accomplish #1! Allyson fit the bill perfectly and has done sterling work on some difficult pieces for us- ranging from a cocktail dress to a herringbone overcoat. Simply put, she does amazing work for a very reasonable price and personally is a delight to deal with. I will definitely be going back. read more

Allyson does beautiful work! Being new to town and having no idea where to bring my bridal gown for some serious alterations I decided to make an appointment. From beginning to end the experience could not have been more perfect. Allyson was accommodating and flexible throughout. In the end my dress came out fitting me like a glove, and the amount of compliments received on her work were amazing. I would highly recommend her services to anyone! read more

Allyson is fabulous. She came highly recommended to me by a friend who is VERY particular about who tailors his clothing. Needless to say, she delivered - ahead of schedule - and was very flexible with my work schedule. Her work and attention to detail is seamingly (pun!) endless and she was a complete joy to work with. I would recommend her to anyone with clothing needs, without question. I'd rate her 6/5 stars if that was humanly possible. read more

I have tried multiple places to alter everything from pants to coats to bridesmaids dresses throughout the Hudson Valley, all with disappointing results and large price tags. When I found Allyson, it solved all of my alteration and tailoring needs! She does superior work, is extremely reasonable and friendly. Highly recommend this place for everything you need fixed in a timely manner, at a great price and quality and with a friendly smile. read more

Allyson did a great job on several dresses of mine that needed altering. They were all too big around the shoulders and neck and she fixed them so they don't fall down, and she also replaced a zipper on one dress, and added a stretch panel to the back of a dress that was too small so that I can zip it up. She is very friendly and the prices are reasonable for such nice work. read more

Allyson is a pleasure to work with! She has made me a dress from scratch from a vintage pattern...including adjusting size and some details to fit me; as well as alterations on thrift store finds. I'll definitely go back to Allyson for future tailoring needs. read more

Awesome work! I had repair work done By A Thin Thread to a sturdy pair fisherman's gear/snow gear. The pants are quite heavy duty and the work was not only excellent but has withstood some quite rigorous wear and tear. Highly recommended! read more
