Thank You! After researching prices for alterations in the Concord area, we took a chance based on these reviews with Helen's in Manchester. So glad we brought my daughter's wedding gown here! Beautiful work and very reasonably priced! This was the only place who didn't act like three months before the wedding was "cutting it close" and "ohh that's not enough time", ridiculous how some places acted about alterations. Helen's was no drama, just great! Give them a call, make an appointment because they are busy! I know why, they're the best place to bring your alterations! read more

I don't know how I went so long with out knowing this place. Helen is AMAZING and extremely nice. I went in to have my wedding dress tailored and I didn't have to say anything. I put it on and she just started to pin. She is super nice and personable. She made me feel so comfortable. Her prices are not outrageous and she does amazing work. I am so happy I found her. Trust me, if you want thing tailored for a reasonable price. Helen is where to go. Thank you so much. read more

Thank you so much Helen!!! Sue read more

I've been going to Helen for more than a year now, and have brought enough variety for alterations that I can safely say I'd trust her with anything. This is a very different experience than going to a dry cleaner for alterations. Helen greets you, then has you try everything on (unless you have clear directions like hem to x" inseam), and does some quick marking or pinning. This provides a chance to discuss my needs and her plan, which is terrific because what I may ask for may not be feasible. By way of example, I recently brought in a stretch cotton jacket that needed to be taken in. Rather than taking it in at the visibly designed front or back seams, she suggested taking it in from under the arms. It was a great solution that worked well. I don't even ask her about prices - it always seems to work out to roughly $10/piece, whether it's taking things in or hemming or fixing waistlines. Time frame is usually 1-2 wks depending on how much you bring in. I've never had any issues with things not being ready when promised. Very professional. Remember - cash and checks only!! read more

I was in a pinch to get my wedding dress hemmed and was so nervous to find a place to no only trust, but also to complete within such a strict deadline. Helen hemmed my dress absolutely perfectly, on time, and was incredibly kind. On top of this the price was very very reasonable! I will be going here from now on for any tailoring needs and I highly recommend to others. read more

Excellent each time and she was always on time. One project was an alteration to a military uniform which had to be exact and she was very good at it. No disappointment at all. I like her read more

I've taken various things for alterations over the years. It's always gone very smoothly without any issues. She is efficient and does a great job. I've been happy with a quick turnaround and the prices are very reasonable. read more

I can't believe no one has written a review yet! Oh well, gotta start somewhere. I live in Boston and found Helen's while my parents still lived in NH. She is SO GOOD that every month or so I climb in the car with my iPod and a Dunks coffee and head on up to Manch! She can do ANYTHING - I have literally bought things from stores, sketched out what I WANT it to look like, taken the article of clothing and sketch to her and VOILA!! Done to perfection. She has taken thing in for me, let things out, shortened, re-worked, chopped in half, combined two things, EVERYTHING! The fact that she is a dressmaker is key. For example, there was a dress on clearance at Filenes Basement that I was IN LOVE with, but it was a size 8. I am a size 00. Problem? Not for Helen! Took the whole thing apart and re-darted it and fit it to me perfectly. I always get compliments that things "fit me beautifully" which I always laugh about because, besides T-Shirts, there isn't a single article of clothing in my wardrobe that she hasn't touched. Price = CHEAP, esp compared to Boston tailors. She worked on 18 pieces for me, ranging from party dresses, suits, jeans, and tops in two weeks for $200. That is an average of appx. $10 an item! Absolutely do not bother going anywhere else - if I am willing to drive the hour to get things done right than you can make the trip! PS she doesn't take credit cards so make sure to bring cash or a check! read more

I brought my dress to Helen's at the recommendation of a family friend. The dress needed to be taken in nearly an entire size in all directions (by taking the entire dress apart, taking it in, and then recreating it) and have a bustle added. I had less than 3 months from engagement to wedding, so she had limited time to get it done. She quoted me a very reasonable rate (less than anywhere else I called) for all the work that was required. The dress came out amazing, and I couldn't be happier with it!!! She even altered my mother's dress in about 2 weeks!!! Amazing work, fantastic service, and I highly recommend her to anyone who needs ANY alterations!!! read more

This woman was a dressmaker at one time and it shows, she does great work. She has altered two different bridesmaid dresses for me and made both fit like a glove. You couldn't even tell from the outside or inside of the dress that it had been tailored. She is now the ONLY person I will let touch my dresses. She is fast and does a wonderful job. So nice to have a great tailor near by. read more

Love this place! They altered my wedding dress. I made an appoint and was in and out in under 30 minutes!! Great prices for high quality work! My dress was done in under 3 week! -1 star because it is only cash/check, and they didn't call to tell me it was ready. Be sure to call when they quoted it to be done! read more

Helen's Tailoring literally saved my wedding dress! I took it to another seamstress and they screwed up the hem, the bust and half- a**ed everything. I was FURIOUS! Especially since once I got it back I had less than one week until my wedding. I called Helen's based on a good review from a co-worker and was thrilled that she didnt seem phased by the fact that i had only a few days to right all the wrongs. In two days she mad the pointy bust inserts look much more natural, as well as fix the hem and steam the entire dress. It was perfect when I picked it up. Not to mention she only charged $80 for the whole thing. I payed hundreds from the other woman to screw it up. I would recommend Helen's to ANYONE and will for sure be going back for any future tailoring needs! read more

Needed the sleeves done on a sport coat before leaving on a trip. Tried a couple tailors who were talking weeks, I was leaving in days. I stopped by on a Tuesday and she had the jacket ready the next day. Great work, reasonable prices and fast turnaround. What more could you want! Currently have a growing pile of clothes that I'm planning to bring up to her to work her magic on. read more

I'm really bad at timing things right, and I realized that it was a week and a half before a wedding I was in, and I had yet to get my dress altered! I completely forgot it was the peak of prom season, too. I could tell Helen's was super busy, but she still told me I could have the dress in time. She did beautiful work! I absolutely loved it and everything fit wonderfully. I will not hesitate to return for alterations! read more

My husband brought in dress pants that I wear to work that were too big for me. The woman asked if I could try them on for her but I wasn't there. So she said "Ok, I'll just shorten them based on where your wife is stepping on them." Four days later, I get my two pairs back. Great prices, they fit perfectly and they look brand new. She even removed the pilling and they were ironed. They really looked brand new! Great value and quality work. They do not accept credit cards, FYI. read more

Helen and her team were wonderful. I was so pleased with how my dress turned out and the time time and effort they put into it.

Always the best, always on time, always awesome prices. If you need something done on your clothing, anything at all, go to see this awesome lady. read more

Not capable of stitching my wife's purse strap. Called the (name brand) purse "Imitation". read more

Tailoring was done when she said it would be. My dress was brand new, the dress still had the tags on it and in perfect condition. Why, because it was brand new and never worn. When I picked it up and tried it on and said the hem was perfect t, she took my dress from me and told me to wait 20 minutes while they steam the dress. She gave it to me in the plastic bag and it wasn't touched or taken out of the bag, until the day of my daughters wedding. When I took my dress out of the bag on the day of the wedding to put it on, there was a big stain on the back of the dress. I was so upset and could not bring it back to Helen or a dry cleaner, because I was in the bridal suite with my daughter and her bridal party. The rest of the bridal party and I was in shock and we tried to get out the stain without making it worst, because it was on the tooling. When I purchased my dress it was I inspected and it certainly had no stains. Shame on her and her husband or whoever the other Taylor is that took my $400 dress to steam it after the tailoring. They have no regard for precious garments. read more

Fabulous place. As usual being the procrastinator that I am, I left a small alteration till the last moment. Helen was super. She took pity on me and said, not to worry, come back at 4PM and this was the same day I dropped off the clothing. Just very nice people. Cannot recommend more highly. read more

Ok so I almost got rid of my XXL shirts that I loved so much. I lost a lot of weight and now I'm a regular Large.. She took each shirt and fitted it to my new much smaller body. read more

I have been going to Helen's since 2012 when I first moved here to Manchester. She is great at what she does, and I have had great turn around, even after dropping off multiple items at once. Price is very reasonable. Customer service is great. Going today and dropping off 5 items to be tailored. read more

Last minute altering of two pairs of dress slacks for a funeral. Rushed them to her at noon and they were done by 4:00. Reasonable cost and phenomenal service. read more

Helen's tailoring is amazing. I am so thankful I found them! I've had a few items of clothes altered. The first was a dress that I needed completed in a few days before a wedding, it was very last minute and even though they were busy they still got it done on time. Every item is always done on time and very well. The stitching is nice and the price has always been cheap compared to elsewhere. They are also always very kind. Really excellent job! read more

Excellent place to do business. Professional, prompt and reasonable. She altered a long, heavy winter coat, first class job. Highly recommend! read more

Very poor customer service. I went to get my measurements for a blazer and have some pants taken in, but she wouldn't take my measurements. No way I'll ever give her my business or recommend her to anyone. She may be quick there is something to be said for customer service. read more

Helen is amazing. Her work is perfection. Prices are very reasonable. She did major alterations to my wedding dress and it came out beautifully. Highly recommend her. read more

I've had pants, jackets, and overcoats tailored at Helen's and have consistently had great results at reasonable prices. She even altered an overcoat with sleeve stitching by reworking the sleeve. Normally, that is complex work that would cost a fortune, but they did it as if it were nothing at all. When we first moved to NH, another place charged my wife $60 to hem a simple dress. Helen reworked my daughter's prom dress, adjusting the chest, back and hem for much less than that. The dress looked great when she was done, but that's just par for the course here. Going there tomorrow with a suit, couple of jackets and pants. Well worth a visit! read more

Helen did a beautiful job on my bridesmaid dress. She finished it very quickly when I needed fast turn around and her prices were extremely reasonable for the area ($80 for hemming and taking the straps and bodice in on my layered chiffon dress). I will definitely return! read more
