This is the second time using by my hand. The first time I needed my daughters communion dress altered last minute - they had it ready in one day. The second time I had a bridesmaids dress from David's bridal who told me after I got it they couldn't alter it in the time I needed it. By my hand got me rigjt in and I will have the dress right before the wedding. I am so thankful to have them in my contact list and will always use them as my go to for events read more

Tatiana was a life saver for my wedding dress. After my bridal store closed due to terrible management, I got my dress in one month before my wedding date and it was ordered in the wrong size, one size too small. I immediately reached out to my friends to see who they would recommend and Tatiana came highly recommended. Upon my first meeting, she was friendly, supportive and knew exactly what to do. Luckily I lost just enough weight to slip into the dress and Tatiana worked her magic around the hem and the shoulders. She was amazing. I've gone back to her for a few bridesmaid dress fittings and she always does a wonderful job. read more

Tatiana was absolutely incredible. I brought in my complicated, fitted gown that I already loved, and she made me fall in love with it so much more. The dress fit absolutely perfectly. I was worried about losing the train of the gown, but she made the most lovely seven point bustle (which all the guests raved about!) She is also extremely efficient, and was able to get it back to me quickly. read more

Very Good. Very Fast too! This isn't the first time I've used Tatiana.... We've had 2 prom dresses and a few dance costumes with TONS of sequence hemmed and altered over the past few years... SHE DOES A GREAT JOB! AND When I say fast...she's FAST!!! read more

Tatiana did such an amazing job on my wedding ceremony and reception dresses I brought her. She was also very accommodating to what time I could come as I was coming from the city only on weekends. She also finished the dresses usually in less than 2 weeks. I had gone to get quotes from a few places in the city before going to Tatiana but I'm so happy I came to her instead as she was much better to work with and very accommodating. Most of all she made my dresses fit perfectly and even gave me some curves and made me look taller! Now I want to take everything to her. read more

I agree with many of the things others have said. She was extremely cold and rushed me through every appointment. She wouldn't do what I asked for and when I tried to explain how it could be done she brushed me off and continued to tell me no. She did things to the dress that I did not ask her to do. Her prices were very high and I am still sad with how my dress came out. I wouldn't recommend taking your wedding dress there. It was a very impersonal experience. read more

I would highly recommend this business and will definitely use them again!! read more

I was so lucky that Tatiana was my alteration master. I lost weight just right before one month to my wedding when I got my dress. She was able to alter my Vera Wang dress to my figure perfectly. She is very patient and knows what she is doing. I got also lots of useful advices from her how to to wear the dress on the wedding day. It really helped. She is very attentive to details and my needs and caring so everything would be perfect. I highly highly recommend! read more

I bought my wedding dress at a Kleinfeld's sample sale and needed an entirely new zipper. Not only was it so easy and quick to replace, it was inexpensive! I brought all four of my bridesmaids back for their dress alterations as well and they were all turned around in a week. Can't recommend Tatiana enough. She is a master and so kind. read more

The woman was amazing! She did my bustle while I waited since it was a rush order. It was a simple 2 button and she recommended the spot to put the buttons and asked about where I wanted the dress to fall. She then walked me through how to bustle it at my wedding (hint: take a video!) read more

My first visit to this family run operation and was extremely impressed. To start they have very flexible hours and will accommodate most schedules.

My suits were perfectly tailored and I'd highly recommend them to anyone. read more

After having to cancel my big wedding due to COVID-19 we decided to still get married and wear my beautiful wedding dress! Instead of dealing with the bridal boutique for expensive alterations, I searched on yelp for places in my area and came across By My Hand- only 15 minutes away! After reading the reviews, I called to make an appointment 4 weeks before our wedding day and they were able to take me the following week. The first visit was great. Tatiana was very thorough and gave advice and opinions on what would be best, which was super appreciated. My dress was ready the following week (today)! The dress fit perfectly and I'm so so excited to wear it! She added cups, Fixed the straps and also altered the train. On top of it all- so affordable! Will definitely be back for any future alterations. Thank you Tatiana! read more

Highly recommend Tatiana! Bought dress for my sons wedding and it had slight damage when I received it. I was totally upset and was recommended to Tatiana by a friend. I took dress there and Tatiana did repair while I waited, when she asked me to make sure it was ok I was unable to to find where original damage had been!! Tatiana did an amazing job! read more

Tatiana was so friendly & knowledgeable. She even offered to do my simple alterations right away if I had a few minutes to wait for her. I will definitely recommend her & return with my future alteration needs. read more

Amazing work. Had a dress altered for a wedding I have coming up, couldn't have asked for more. I'll be returning after prom season to have my jeans tailored. 10/10 would recommend to anyone read more

My daughter got married on 10-14-18. ONE week prior to her wedding the dress I purchased for her -- in October of 2017 was not ready from the seamstress in Franklin Square had not altered it....it would not be ready for her wedding. It was heartbreaking, so we went looking for another dress the Saturday before her wedding...seems impossible, but we bought a new dress off the rack at Blu Rayne Bridal (who were great) and Tatiana assured me she could do the alterations on her new dress if we could be at her house at 7 am on Monday morning. We were there and she did all the alterations in 3- yes- 3 days!!!!!! SHE WAS WONDERFUL...TATIANA SAVED MY DAUGHTER"S WEDDING. THANK YOU TATIANA.. read more

By my hand did my wedding dress alterations and they did such a beautifulllll job!!! She was able to completely transform my dress into something completely different and unique and I'm so obsessed with my dress. My dress originally had a closed back with buttons down the spine and she was able to remove all of it and make it an open back dress that was absolutely gorgeous and then besides the fitting, she also added hem lace all around the bottom of my dress and the bottom of the train. And to top that all of she had it done perfectly in two weeks! Also a snowstorm made me have to reschedule my fitting appointment after she had done the work on my dress; my day's didn't line up to where I could come in right before I was going away on vacation so she actually offered to meet up whenever I needed at a different location if it would be closer for me. Just that extra care in customer service that really is awesome to see! read more

I took a shot in desperate need of getting a dress altered and came across this place. OMG so accompanying and so sweet! I highly recommend this place to everyone! read more

I cannot say enough wonderful things about By My Hand Alterations. Tatiana did the alterations for my wedding gown. She listened to everything I wanted, and did a perfect job. I didn't have a lot of time to get the dress altered, and she did everything in one week. She exceeded my expectations and her prices were so affordable. Which in the wedding industry is saying a lot. My dress is intricate and has a lot of lace, and she altered it perfectly and the bustle is exactly what I wanted. She pinned me in the dress but then noticed I was adjusting the top so she kindly took the time to undo the pins and re do them so I'd feel more comfortable. She knew what I needed without me even saying anything. I will be using her again anytime I need anything altered. read more

Needed a last minute alteration. The woman was so nice and did my alteration in ten minutes! So reasonable, and will defiantly use again in future! read more

What a wonderful seamstress. Tatiana Certainly knows what she's doing? She did amazing job on daughters wedding gown that has a lot of details. The hems done on bridal and mother of the bride gowns were perfect length. Very pleasant. Highly recommend. read more

I was in a rush to get my maid of honor dress fitted. Found this place, and was so happily surprised by the professionalism, timeliness and skill! My dress looked gorgeous when they were done with it. Plan to use them in the future! read more

With plenty of notice, coming as a stranger into another strangers home which I was skeptical, she met me without hardly even saying hello, she was extremely curt, rude, and hardly even spoke to me after charging me a price for a simple alteration that when I was inquiring why the price and how does she come to that number she again was short and dismissive when the price I felt was high for something so simple. She also was unwilling to work with me as far as pickup and stated it wouldn't be ready till the very early morning or late evening the day before which I felt was cutting it too close and wouldn't work for me...she didn't budge one bit. Won't be using her and I'd happily give my business elsewhere for someone more friendly! Customer service goes a long way, if she had been nicer and more welcoming def would've considered spending the $$$ and changing my pickup time but clearly she doesn't need my business to treat prospective clients like that! read more
