The staff are super friendly and knowledgeable. I brought in two dresses made of a weird material and she did great with them, came out perfect. Also not too expensive. Would definitely use them again in the future. read more

I walked in with four items, was fitted then and there, and things will be ready in a week! Very pleasant lady at the desk. Important to note that they DON'T take credit cards. read more

I've brought several clothes here and always had great results! Staff is great and very kind

I had to have my wedding dress almost completely remade. Sleeves removed, shoulders taken in, 12 inches of length removed and re-hemmed, and sequins added to certain areas. It is absolutely perfect. If you have something important you need to have altered and need it to be perfect, this is the place to go. read more

DO NOT GO HERE! $35 for hem on $20 jeans and $35 to take waist in on $10 leggings! Rush charge for less than 10 days. What a JOKE!

Perfection. I wanted my bathing suit altered for a better looking fit. I know that sewing bathing suits with the lining, etc can be a pain. It is perfect. read more

My BF has been going to Fifth Avenue Alterations for years and swears by them. He's the picky one in the relationship, so when he took a look at a pair of jeans that I'd recently had altered elsewhere, he sweetly suggested that I take my next pair to Fifth Avenue where they would do a 'better' job. The husband/wife owners are very sweet and good at what they do... I've been to see them now a handful of times and I've been pleased with everything I've had altered there (including jeans, tops, and even a dress). More importantly, my BF is pleased as well! The only complaint I have is that sometimes it can take over a week so this may not be the best bet if you are in a hurry. Also, they're cash only, so be prepared! read more

I needed to alter my bridesmaid dress for my friend's wedding and was told by Gabi M that 5th Ave Alterations was the place to go. I trust her judgment (and of course yelp's 5 star average) so I stopped by! Talk about quick, cheap and painless! I walked in and a friendly lady welcomed me and told me to go into a dressing room and try on the dress. As soon as I walked out of the fitting room, she pinned it within minutes. I went back into the dressing room to change, brought out my dress and she quickly gave me a price and turnaround time. It cost $25 to be altered and she promised that it would be done within a couple days. The following week, I came back to pick it up, tried on the dress, gave it my stamp of approval, paid (cash or check only) and was quickly on my way! I will definitely use 5th Ave Alterations every time I need anything altered. It's seamless. read more

Brought a backpack in to add some patches on to it after I found them on Yelp. Came in Friday and dropped off the backpack with the patches and was told it would be done on Tuesday. To my surprise I received a call the next day that my backpack was already ready to go. They did exactly what I wanted done and it was done three days early. Thanks Yelp for helping me find this place. read more

Tried to support locally owned small business. But you know those places that talk about you to each other in a different language right in front of your face? This is one of those. Yeah, all done. No thank you. read more

I have a bad habit of buying clothes without trying them on. I just kind of hold up an item, determine it looks "about right" and call it good. This is really not the best way to do things, I know. As an example, I fell in love with a fantastic pair of jeans... last July. It wasn't until I got them home that I realized that while they were the correct size, they were made for someone 6' tall (which I am definitely not). Promptly exiled to the back of the closet. I didn't get any taller in the past half year (darn!) and was about to give them away when I learned that they could be fixed to fit 5'5" me. Sweet! I can see why Fifth Avenue Alterations has so many 5-star reviews. I brought in my amazon-girl jeans and the owner took a lot of time to ensure that they were pinned to exactly the correct length, having me stand both in heels and without shoes. I like attention to detail! She explained how the existing distressed hem would be cut and re-attached, so the bottom of the jeans wouldn't have that tacky folded-over look once they were finished (I never knew that could be done). $20, done in a week and they look great! I am very happy - these jeans are going to be my new favorites! read more

The ladies there are sweet. I dropped my sweater off to get a button fixed on a Saturday. She told me it would be fixed by Wednesday and she would call me. The following Saturday I came to pick it up and she said she didn't get a chance to work on it. There was no call to let me know. This was unprofessional. I picked up my sweater and took it somewhere else. read more

As someone who has profound respect for anyone who is able to design, alter, or repair articles of clothing, I'm constantly on the look out for reputable, friendly, establishments that can not just do the work, but also establishments I enjoy supporting. Fifth Ave Alterations is most definitely one of those establishments. Great care was taken not just in measuring me for the alterations I needed, but I was also dissuaded from wasting my money on costly vintage suit adjustments that may or may not have been successful. I appreciated the honesty, and took their advice, as those suit alterations would have been 3 to 4 times what I actually paid for the suit - something that was made clear to me. I did, however, have two pairs of vintage slacks altered for length, and the results were superb. Just be sure to bring cash, as you need to pay for your alterations up front, and credit cards are not accepted. read more

With all the deeply discounted clothing sales going on... I over purchased some Guess jeans and since some of them needed hemmed... I solicited a recommendation from Gabi. Gabi suggested "Fifth Avenue" Much like a fine masterpiece, their prices are not cheap, nor were the jeans ready in a hurry. As a man who prefers quality over quantity, this did not scare me. The owners were very precise, and ensured that requests and expectations were communicated. I was assured that quality was top priority, which put my mind at ease. My Jeans were done in about 2 weeks, which for some people, would be unacceptable, for me however, my motto is ... "Please...take whatever time you need to do the job correctly" When I picked up my Jeans, I was REALLY impressed, not only were they finished PERFECTLY, but the attention to the detail was outstanding. Example: one pair of jeans has a unique thread color combination on the pockets and seams... This guy matched the color so well it was amazing to me.. I'm sure any other place would have overlooked the subtle color variance and just used a standard color. NOTE: I was warned in advance by both Gabi and the establishment .. that debit cards nor credit cards were NOT accepted for payment...so CASH IN HAND is the only option.... This was the only draw back to the establishment. FYI... The final cost was about $20.00 a pair. Thanks again Gabi!!! read more

They did a great job on hemming my jeans. They restored the original hemline, got the length right, finished it in exactly one week and charged me $20.00 A satisfied customer read more

I put my trust in my fellow Yelpers and they steered me right! I got a nice pair of jeans at an amazing low price over Thanksgiving weekend. But the jeans are boot-cut and I'm short. A very bad combination. But the price and the look were so good, I decided I'd fix that later. Between a mix of laziness, then moving, then just forgetting about it, I never did get those jeans hemmed. Last week, I finally decided to get the job done. Not knowing much about hemming or alterations, I turned to Yelp for a recommendation around me and found several great reviews for Fifth Ave Alterations. I can't say too much more than anyone else already has. The job was great, although it feels like it should have been done a little quicker (however, it was done in eight days instead of the nine she told me it would take). Cash only is also an annoyance (but the last couple of tailors I've ever gone to had the same policy). While my tailoring needs are few and far between, I would definitely take my business back to Fifth Ave Alterations. read more

As a petite (*cough cough, short) person, I really value a good tailor! I have been quite happy with the work I've had done at Fifth Avenue Alterations. The quality of work is great, and the pricing is very fair (I have paid ~$20 for most of the work I have had done there). I recently brought in a bridesmaid dress for substantial alterations. The dress was huge. Honestly, I think two of me could have fit in it. I was dreading the experience, anticipating a $150+ bill, which is what I paid to have alterations done on another bridesmaid dress last year at a different tailor. Fifth Avenue did the alterations at a much lower price and with a quicker turnaround. I highly recommend them for both everyday and special occasion alterations. The only reason I am giving only four stars is because they take cash or check only-- so be prepared! It may also be a good idea to call to check their hours before you go, as they have slightly shortened hours for summer. read more

Absolutely wonderful! I got my wedding dress altered here and she was able to remove a piece of my dress that was really hard to do and she did it perfectly. She was also very honest about how hard of a job it would be to alter my dress and was willing to take on the business to alter my dress for fear of messing it up. I appreciated her honestly and her level of care to altering my dress perfectly. I was SO grateful that I used her services. read more

I've been here twice and loved it! Also sent my sister here and they treated her well also. I went somewhere else once because it was slightly closer and regretted it. They are nice here, will communicate with you, especially on price and they do a very VERY good job! read more

They always do a wonderful job with their alterations. She is helpful and finds the perfect fit for you. I have come here several times and I was recommended Fifth Avenue Alterations by a close friend. Wouldn't go anywhere else! read more

This place is wonderful. We needed an emergency alteration on a bridesmaids dress and we called Shirin ( the owner ) and she told us to come in right away. She helped us and gave us some great ideas on how make the dress work. We are very happy with her service and recommend 5th Ave to anyone. Thanks again! read more

I've been going here for years. Excellent tailoring and customer service. I love the owner. She is the sweetest lady!!

My girlfriend had 2 skirts altered by this place. Both for work purposes. The reason I am posting about this and not her is because I was the one who had to go pick it up and pay for it. I was amazed at how much it had cost for two business style skirts to get altered. They had both sides taken in ( to make smaller). $36 a skirt for a grand total of $72. I came with $45 thinking that would cover the "cash only" rule that still exists in today's world. So then I had to leave, go to an ATM then back to the place. Thinking the whole time, "Might as well go buy her a new skirt," but I have no fashion and she needed them! So two weeks later and $72 in the hole we have skirts that fit. Is it great work yes. The people were really nice. If I needed it done over night I would probably pay that price. Inflating prices because of slow business. Business denied read more

I'm looking at the reviews here and baffled how they could possibly had one positive review. This was the WORST experience in customer service I have EVER had. I took my dress there to be lined. We agreed, together, where the lining should go. Actually, to make a very very long story short ( re: no call backs, no price given, not ready, done wrong...) these were the rudest people I have ever encountered in the service industry. Enough said. read more

I had read the reviews and needed a pair of pants let out. I also had to get them done in like 2 weeks because I was going to my brother's wedding. Well, just like the other reviews--the gentleman who works there was so nice and the woman (his wife perhaps) was great--the pants were done on time, very reasonable price (bring cash-no credit cards) and fit perfectly. I will not go anywhere else! read more

I went here on a recommendation from a friend having not used any tailors since moving to this area. And after stressing about finding someone to help with a complicated bridesmaid dress alteration, I'm happy I listened to the suggestion! They were so kind and completed the job a week ahead of schedule at their quoted cost. I went both after work on weekdays and saturday mornings and they always were prompt with their service and I was in and out within 10 minutes. read more

Caveat emptor If you are new to this business as I was be sure to ask the price of the services that will be rendered. I had 2 simple alterations made on a pair of trousers and provided the vendor with the measurements so that they would not have to measure, no fitting required (C-19 considerate). I was quite taken aback at the charge when I went to pick up the trousers, actually I thought I was just told the wrong amount and there was a confusion. No, I was informed that that was the charge and the going rate. I have used the same tailor for 25 years (on this occasion he was very busy so I looked up an alternative) and have also used a few others. The nearly $60.00 I was charged was 40% + higher than I'd been charged ever before. I asked for a price list and could not be provided one. The business insists on CASH only, interesting given the time(s) (C-19). I paid the price and left. I received a call from the owner on Monday expressing that I may not have been happy with the tailoring and went on to explain how the hem was made, bizarre as that I never said anything about the work. It was fine and I told her so. I expressed my feelings about the pricing and she was defensive and incorrect on what other tailoring businesses charge. She offered me 10% off my next service. As if. If the charges were the same as the first and last time for me then 10% would make the bill only 30% higher than my other options available in Scottsdale and Phoenix. I feel they were taking a shot at a naive customer or someone they would only see once, well they're right on the second part. I've lived here for 35 years and very rare when a local business takes advantage of one of it's own. My bad for not asking up front the fees but having alterations done regularly I knew ball park what I was in for, well I thought I did. Never again and take my advise ASK FIRST and you may also want to inquire why CASH ONLY? read more

The people here are amazingly nice and caring. They are like a second family to me. If I could I would give 6 out of 5 stars. We have been coming here for years. read more

Fifth Avenue Alterations - The 2 owners in front of store. - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

I have used 5th Ave Alterations twice in the past year. The most recent occasion was a couple weeks ago, when I took several pairs of men's dress pants in to be altered. It was fairly expensive, but overall the work was to my satisfaction, so it was worth it. Depending on the work, you may be asked to put down a deposit when you drop off your clothes. The pants were ready on the agreed upon date and they called me, as promised, to let me know when they were ready. I did have to go back a second time because there was a problem with one of the pairs of pants that I didn't see until after I got home, but they were very apologetic and promptly fixed it the same day I went back, so it was not a big deal to me. Based on my experience, the quality of their work is good, albeit a little expensive, and I would go back again in the future for alterations. Figuratively speaking, I don't think you can put a price tag on a good tailor, which I would say they are, based on my two experiences. I also suggest calling before stopping by to verify they are open. I don't think they're necessarily open every Saturday, since they're a "mom and pop" business. Also, they are actually open until 5:30 on weekdays (not 5:00 as Yelp suggests), which is helpful if you work 8-5. read more

I have been coming here for maybe 15 years or more. I have been very pleased by the work I've had done. I am petite so I have to have a lot of wardrobe items altered. This place does a great job. It typically takes about a week or so to get an alteration back. I would highly recommend them for any alterations you need. FYI, they only accept cash and checks, no plastic. Not a deal breaker for me. read more

Like some of the other reviewers, I am shocked that anyone would have anything nice to say about this place. I took my daughter's dress in to be altered for prom. When we got it back, it was still too big, and she had to re-do it. I got charged twice, and paid more than the dress itself. They were incredibly rude. I paid a FORTUNE--more than the dress. She waited until last minute to get it done--my daughter's prom is in two days and I just got it back. The lady was very rude and I did not appreciate her tone. DO NOT GET YOUR DRESS OR ANYTHING ALTERED HERE. Waste of money and time. My daughter's friend got her dress altered at a different place for a third of the price we paid here (she also had very similar alterations for her prom dress) never come here. So disappointed and unhappy read more

Fifth Avenue Alterations has been our go to place for my daughters prom dresses and now her wedding dress. The service is amazing, the work is impeccable and they are always dependable. This should be your only place for needed alterations. Thank you! Your the Best :-) read more

I took an expensive Burberry raincoat in for a repair to the sleeve--it was destroyed at the airport when a wheel from a roller on my bag rolled over it. After much discussion the very talented seamstress made a suggestion on how best to repair it--just picked it up and it was really one of the most skillful, professional repairs I have ever seen. It wasn't easy-she had to take material from the coat and cut and trim in to place to cover a big hole! Highly recommended for expensive, tailored clothing!! Will definitely go here again. read more

We set an appointment for 10a today with an expressed concern that we only have a week until prom. Not only did the shop not open, they. Ever called to cancel our appointment. Total crap. Will spend my money elsewhere. read more

I should have written this review quite some time ago. Last winter, I brought four suits to Fifth Avenue Alterations to have them tailored for a professional course I was attending. Being very cautious about who handles my suits, I consulted Yelp and found glowing reviews for Fifth Avenue. I brought my suits in and was immediately impressed with the husband/wife team. The wife's attention to detail in her suggestions was superb, right down to suggesting that we put a shoulder pad in the right shoulder on each suit, to make my shoulders look even (one is slightly lower than the other). It took about two weeks to get my suits back, but I firmly believe that good work is worth waiting for. When I returned to pick up my suits, I was highly impressed with the tailoring. Every suit fit me as if it had been made-to-measure, and I received compliment after compliment at my professional course. I now live in the Baltimore-Washington area. I hope I can find a tailor here who can match the work of Fifth Avenue Alterations. read more

Love this place! The people who own it are the friendliest people. They fixed my bridesmaid dress fast and it fits wonderfully now. I will utilize them for all my alteration needs! read more

This alteration place is fantastic! I would recommend to anyone looking for reasonable alteration price with superior results. I was a last minute back-up bridesmaid and this business took a bridesmaid dress from a size 12, down to a size three in under a week for $100. I was very impressed and no one could even tell my dress was not made for me. read more

They took in my suit coat, hemmed my pants, and fixed another pair of pants all done very well! I will go back to them and tell people to go there too! read more

Great ma and pa shop. I have taken a lot of my high end items here and am always happy, if it's not exactly what I want they always re do it for free. Just remember to take cash as they do not accept debit or credit cards and does take about a week to get your clothes back so don't wait till the last minute read more

I recently called around for prices and to get a sense of some tailors in the area. This was by far the rudest person I spoke with. Refused to give me a price quote for a simple alteration and was incredibly condescending. I don't know if they do good work but I know enough to look elsewhere! read more
