Beware she is a scammer after doing a very lousy work on my gown she will tell you she will fix it and then will charge you triple the amount she invoiced you without prior notification. When I told her she did not inform me first she hot mad. Never again, do not go here. read more

Ms Eda and her staff are outstanding at their job. I have had alterations done here for several years. Quality product always. They are highly professional and always make sure your requests are addressed. Exceptional value! read more

Outstanding service!!! She was attentive to my emergency and handled it in lass than 2 hours.

I just wanted to thank Eda for the superb job she did on my Pierre Cardin 3-piece suit. She altered the suit pants, and shortened the sleeves/did alterations to the suit coat as well. The removed buttons were re-sewn on the sleeves after shortening them, and the silk sleeve liners were sewn back properly. Eda is a local Norfolk seamstress that has never steered me wrong, and has always done quality work for me. I honestly wasn't sure she was up to the task of doing the big formal stuff ($800.00+ suit) with a short turn-around time but she did not disappoint. She actually has a try on room and mirrored platform (for pin ups/visual inspection) in the back of the shop that I never knew was there. Great job all the way around and for much cheaper $$ than the "designer" seamstress/alteration folks I had spoken to prior. Eda's is indeed a full-service seamstress! read more

Absolutely kindest quickest service you can get! The owner is an absolute professional with the sweetest soul! I left with my alterations made and my heart happy! Loved every bit of this service, will absolutely come back! read more

Edad has always done a fantastic job sewing my pants and dresses. I am a regular here!

For regular Clothes it's fine, but do not take your wedding dress here!!!! She hacked my beautiful Maggie Sottero zoey dress. She clearly doesn't know how to work with beading, which i get it but tell me you don't feel comfortable. I kept pulling my straps up all night. She also cut my dress too short!!! So my feet showed with no shoes on. Lastly, she put a nice dirt smudge right in the front and didn't press it, so i had to pay $180 more to go somewhere and have that pressed and cleaned. Pictures to show how short she hemmed my dress read more

I brought my wedding dress here after my mother found her based on yelp reviews. I was not disappointed. Her shop was full of wedding dresses which made me even more comfortable with her working with my dress.

I took my wedding dress to get altered and it came out perfect. Reasonable prices and quality work. Very professional and the work gets done in a timely manner. I later took a shirt that needed to be fixed and walked out spending 4$ and was able to pick it up the very next day! read more

Eda was great! She did my Bridal alterations and they came out better than I could have ever expected. She understood the look and vision I had for my dress and was able to work with me until we got it just right. She was also up to the challenge of making me a detachable cathedral train! She did such an amazing job, I would recommend anyone and everyone to her. read more

I came here because the reviews seemed good and it was close to my house, but I was very disappointed. I bought a wedding dress online and brought it to her to be altered to fit me. 2 months and $150 later, it still didn't fit right. I took it to another tailor, and they had it perfect for $50 in just 2 weeks! She is way overpriced and didn't even tailor it properly. Wish I would have never brought my dress here. I won't be back. read more

I bought my dress out of state, and there were no dress shops in the area that were willing to alter my dress. I found Eda's through Yelp, and seeing all the photos of wedding dresses in her reviews helped calm my anxiety. I decided to trust her with my $2,000 dress and I'm so glad I did! It was altered perfectly. When I brought it to her, it was way too long in the front, needed a bustle, and the straps taken in. She did everything in a very timely manner, and she's so sweet. I choose a French bustle (ties underneath) for those who are wondering. The cost was comparable to what the original dress shop was going to charge. read more

Amazing customer service, nice Filipino lady runs the store on her own with her daughter. Fair prices as well! Was able to get it adjusted twice within a week of bringing it in. read more

I popped a button off of my uniform pants and she sewed it for me on the spot. Fantastic job!! I will be back if I ever need any kind of tailoring!! read more

I called a few places up to get a London fog type of jacket shortened and Eda didn't play games and gave me a rough estimate over the phone. When I brought the jacket in she confirmed the estimate - $20. Not bad at all. When I picked up the jacket it looked fantastic, I paid the $20, and was out the door. The one thing to note is Eda's phone voice isn't as friendly as she is in person so don't get turned off if you call her and feel like she's short with you. When you come into the store she smiles and is very friendly. AND most importantly her prices are below any other tailor in Norfolk/VA beach. read more

Eda is the best. She saved my wedding gown. My gown arrived and needed to be taken in A LOT - who makes the proportions on those things?? Anyway, I took it in immediately and was impressed because she had 15-20 gowns she was working on! Clearly, I was in the right place. My gown was a difficult one with beading and lace and she handled the alterations and the bustle like a pro. She said she used to hand-make gowns a long time ago - and it shows. Anyway, besides taking it in, I wanted the lacy neckline customized a bit to look like a picture I found in a wedding magazine, and she did it - now it is truly my dream dress and it's all because of Eda. And by the way, when I went to go pick up my gown - all of those 20 wedding gowns were done and gone and mine was left - totally on time without causing me any stress. Don't hesitate to take your gowns to her - she is the best! read more

I came here based off of the yelp reviews and I am very glad I did. I needed some work clothes altered (mama has been working out) and I needed them back fast. Eda was able to get back to me (several pants and even a few t-shirts) in a week. Only thing: BRING CASH! Yes she has a sign that SAYS she takes credit cards. No she doesn't. When I whipped mine out, she made a face and asked if I could walk to the gas station and get cash instead. Maybe she gets charged or something *shrugs* read more

This lovely tailor shop altered my bridesmaid dress in a pinch! After receiving the dress an entire month late, I took it to Eda's less than 7 days before the date of our departure for the wedding, and she got it done - and early too. I forgot to bring my heels so she could figure the correct length of the dress with my heels on, but she had some in the shop that I tried on with my dress. Very grateful for that. All-in-all everything was quick, painless, and from what I gather, rather cheap compared to many other dress alteration prices at places like, say, Davids Bridal. I paid $45 to take off quite a bit of length from the dress, which I think is fair. Oh, and the dress looks great! read more

Outstanding! Needed pants hemmed for my son. Typical male, I procrastinated and needed them done in two days. Actually, I dropped them off on Tuesday afternoon and picked them up Thursday morning. Best $14 I've ever spent!! Can't recommend this place highly enough!! Thanks so much!!! read more

I won't lie she does great work. But the lady is insulting. Don't go there if you want to be body shamed. Backhanded comments are the worst when you are trying on your wedding dress. I'm a plus size girl, she made a comment about how it's so great that my dress has support right in my stomach area as she points at it. Never going back again. read more

Eda is such a sweet lady. She did a phenomenal job on my dress. She makes good recommendations for alterations to make sure you look fabulous on your wedding day. Worth every penny! She has been doing alterations for many many years and the quality in her work proves it. Everyone was in awe at how perfect the dress fit! read more

Top notch sewing shop. She always delivers the job on time and is effective. The prices are very reasonable. Suggest going here! read more

Eda did a great job, and I wouldn't hesitate using her again. I needed a silk chiffon bridesmaid dress taken in significantly. She did it in a week without flinching AND made it fit like a glove.All this for a fairly reasonable price - $35. Contrary to what one of the other reviews said, she took my credit card without hesitating, so that was an added bonus. read more

I brought my wedding gown in for some straightforward alterations, and Eda did a wonderful job! The bodice of my dress was already a perfect fit, so Eda just had to hem the dress and put in a bustle--but she did a wonderful job in just three weeks. I also love that Eda's is open most of the day on Saturday. Eda also fixed the veil I purchased from a bridal consignment shop. Basically, the blusher layer had several holes and I wanted it removed to leave a single layer of veil. Eda did this perfectly! Hemming my gown, putting in the bustle, and working on the veil came to $135. She thanked me for bringing cash, but it looked like she accepted credit cards. read more

I love Ms Eda! I needed an emergency repair on my uniform and it was her to the rescue! Very nice lady with reasonable prices and she is open after you get off work. Please check her out! read more

She's fantastic! She's tailored my uniforms to perfection! You can't even tell! She's getting all my business.

Don't trust all the reviews. Just went in to pick up my bridesmaid's dress with her and Eda did a complete hack job on it. The length was uneven by 2" from the left to the right side and it was cut so that the trumpet effect of the dress in the back was completely destroyed- AND UNSALVAGABLE. The moving of the hook and eye closures on the back straps were sewn in amateurish at best and so misplaced Im struggling to understand how she thought they could have laid flat. My bridesmaid came here at my recommendation since I saw all of the positive reviews but she told me right away when she dropped it off that she didn't feel like eda was listening to what she was saying. She should have trusted her gut. Complete rip off to have spent money to have the bottom of a beautiful Vera wang bridesmaids dress hacked off unevenly. I mean INCHES VISIBLE TO THE NAKED EYE. We are both so upset we could cry. I refused to pay her the $100 she wanted to charge- at least she only charged $45 for the shitty hem. Not to mention she didn't press or steam out the dress- standard for any professional tailor to do. read more

I LOVE THIS SHOP!!! when I needed my daughters prom dress shortened I was worried that it couldn't be done; it was a delicate chiffon. I walked in and the first thing that I noticed was how clean and organized everything was. There was no clutter anywhere.I noticed a woman and a worker (I forgot to ask the name of the employees.) talking and chatting lightly about the alteration the customer wanted. It was apparent that this customer was a regular and a happy regular at that. The dressing rooms were large and solid , not a curtain to step behind. The area that was used to check for fit was private and very nice. It has a large platform to stand on and a huge mirror to check out the fit. The seamstress that helped us was super friendly,knowledgeable and laid back. She made my 17 year old welcome and not at all self conscious . Oh the price!!!!! I was expecting a very high price (I've been to another shop before and they were astronomical comparatively) I almost felt guilty paying so little for a job that you couldn't even tell where the hem had been made. It was that good!!! My daughter and I still can't find where the original sewing ends and the new began. I plan on going back to get some jeans altered. read more

Eda's Sewing Shop & Alterations - This was the dress!!! - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Norfolk, Virginia

She does great work! I had a bridesmaid skirt hemmed and let out and a formal gown with layers hemmed. Was very pleased and pricing is decent. read more

I dropped off a dress to be hemmed at the end of March. She said it would be done in one week, April 5th. Today is May 10th and I went to pick it up and she hasn't even touched it!!!! It was just sitting on a table. She sorta laughed when she said it wasn't done yet. Then I asked how much it will be and she said $26! I paid $30 for the dress. Way overpriced. I took the dress and will go elsewhere. Horrible customer service. I also just found out she botched my cousins wedding dress and charged her $400! I have no idea she went to this place. I would've never gone here. BEWARE read more

Eda is wonderful, and very sweet. My items were on time and completed as promised and came out perfect. I shared with her what I wanted and once I tried my items on she shared with me what May be the outcome and/or offered another solutions for my request. She is very experienced. I will visit her again and also highly recommend. read more

I can't even begin to tell you my experience with this shop. I dropped of a dress size 12 wedding dress, I am a size 2 and I knew this would be a huge task. Other places had quoted me cheaper prices but their reviews were not so great. I came here base in her review and I am so glad I did. I live in Chesapeake so it was a drive but I knew I was paying for quality work. I believe we did 2 fitting total and my dress was done. My dress fits beautiful and it looks better than when I first got it. This shop is very professional and the owner takes pride in her work. She is not out to rip you off either. Thank you again for making this part of my wedding so easy. I highly recommend her. read more

Eda did an outstanding job altering a bridesmaids dress for me. She transformed a dress that was originally way too big and long into a perfect fit. I will definitely return in the future! Thank you Eda! read more

This shop is simply amazing. She took my wedding dress and altered it within three weeks . The dress is beautiful and fits perfectly. She also added a bustle. I would definitely come back to this shop if I could. read more

Eda is a godsend. I take all my alterations to her, everything from hems to completely redoing jackets to fit my weirdly shaped body (narrow shoulders, big short arms, medium bust, smallish waist, huge hips). Her prices are more than reasonable, she has a quick turnaround and everything fits afterward. I decided to have my wedding dress custom-made, which is what I recommend to everyone who wears a larger size or just wants an awesome dress buying experience. I had noted on multiple occasions the myriad of custom dresses I'd see in her shop when I went in, everything from prom dresses to gowns for a drag queen pageant (no lie!), so I knew she could probably handle anything I threw at her. I brought in dress pictures to show my ideas, she took my measurements and sent me fabric shopping. The dress was ready for the first fitting in less than two months (if you order a dress from a bridal shop you are looking at at least six months turnaround time). I went in for three fittings and at the end, had a dress that was perfectly my vision. The price was more than reasonable, probably 1/3 of what I'd pay if I ordered the dress from a store, plus it was custom fit to my body and my exact specifications. I felt awesome on my wedding day. read more

Eda is extremely kind and accommodating. I waited until last minute (4 weeks before our wedding) to get my wedding dress altered. Eda added a complete lining to the once sheer bodice of my dress while maintaining the integrity of the original beading. She also hemmed the bottom perfectly. The way the dress was originally designed had the skirt all one length. Eda made sure to raise the front, so I could walk, while leaving extra length in the back to create a train. I have to admit, I was nervous to drop my dress off somewhere I had never been -especially considering that I am not originally from around here - but I am so happy I did. Her work was beautifully done, and my dress looks like it came this way without any alterations made. That takes true skill. Thanks again, Eda! I appreciate you working with me no matter how stressed I got. read more

Filipino "Auntie" works fast! Came in to get a bridesmaid dress altered, tucked in on the chest, cut off length and adjust strap all for $65. I walked in with the dress, but forgot my shoes, so I just tiptoed while she pinned. It was done the following week and tried it on to make sure it works, still needed a bit more length trimmed so she got it done that day and I was able to pick up the following morning. Minus one because it was still a little loose on the chest, but since I didn't really have any more time left, I just let it go. Could also be how the dress was made. Anyways, if you need something done on a time crunch, def. go here! read more

Eda did a fantastic job altering my wedding gown for me. I went to her because of Amber N.'s glowing review, and she definitely lived up to it. I had Eda make a bustle and take in the dress at the bust and waist a bit, it was a bit complicated with an applique running over the seam, but it looked like it was never altered at all! And her rates were (I thought) very reasonable for the amount of work involved. Thanks, Eda! read more
