I brought my suit jacket in to be tailored before my wedding and they were so quick and professional to get it done. this is a family owned and ran business and it seems like they have other work outside of tailoring, so I'd recommend giving them some extra time to do things. great price too! all in all a great experience! read more

Two new dress shirts, exactly the same, and the outcome is two different fittings!!! Three weeks and not done, and they were done in a rush in a matter of few hours. Not to mention the food smell on them when we picked them up. Advise you to find a better place. read more

J & Ree is my "go to" for alterations. I usually plan to drop stuff off for a few days if I give them a big order. Coming from a family business myself, I appreciate the family feel and that the kids are good helpers, all the while still doing their homework or dishes or the like. The size is a little awkward as is the fitting room. I also think with the volume of work she has a little better organization would help. What it really comes down to is the quality of the work, and the female owner and her team/family do great work. I've never had any seams or hems come out, and the measurements are always perfect. I can always expect to be happy with the result. The location isn't as bad as some previous opinions, you just have to learn to navigate the neighborhood for the better value. read more

Martha altered my new suit with hardly any notice, and DID A VERY GOOD JOB. So not only did Martha do a great job on fitting my suit, she allowed me to drop it off, and pick it up the next day. Great customer service. I highly recommend J and Ree Fashions for any alterations you need. read more

I needed a hem taken up for a bridesmaid dress at short notice and these guys were open late and were cheap so I went with them. The place is in a shady part of town surrounded by houses. Parking can be found on the surrounding streets. The husband of the seamstress was there by himself and said that he would do the measurements for the fitting. This seemed a bit off to me and he didn't seem to have a lot of experience, but I went with it. The dressing room looked like a converted closet and was cramped and awkward with the curtain only to close it. He made the measurements in the main work room and I left the dress with him with an assurance that it would be ready the next night. I returned the next night and the seamstress was there and she was luckily much less odd and awkward than her husband. The price was right ($13 including rush fee and tax) and I'm glad my dress was done quickly and well, but the awkwardness of the place and shadiness of the neighborhood knocked my review down a few stars. read more

J & Ree is my all time go to for alterations, any time I purchase new clothes I will take them there, to get them altered as I am a rather short person it is a inexpensive way to actually get my pants to fit. Also as I am rather topheavy Martha always gets my shirts to fit perfectly so that I don't look like a frump it is nice to actually have clothes fit in a flattering way and I know this will happen when I take my outfits there. read more

The place is TERRIBLE! I brought in 2 tops to have the straps shortened, and 2 curtain panels to have them shortened. The short version: * The husband is not qualified to do fittings and take measurements, yet he does. Don't let him! He'll do it wrong. * They don't honor the promised pick up date. Call before you go to pick up your stuff! * The quality of their work is not that good. Threads everywhere, poor stitching, bad measurements. They shortened my curtains, and made one panel 2 inches shorter that the other!! * Customer service is terrible. You have to wait a long time if they are with another customer, and they actually had the nerve to charge me more than they said it would be at drop off!! * Don't go there!!! The long version: * When I brought the stuff in, the husband TRIED to do the measurements on my shirts. He took forever and had no idea what he was doing. I ended up having to pin one of the shirts myself, and the other one was pinned, but so incorrectly, that it really wasn't actually marked at all. I was pretty nervous about how they were going to turn out. * Things only got worse when I went to pick everything up. I called to confirm that my stuff was done, but they didn't answer the phone, so since it was 2 days past my scheduled pick up date, I just went to pick it up. Of course, they hadn't even started my stuff yet. She said she would start them right then, and have them done in an hour or so. So, inconveniently, I went to run another errand and planned to go back. I guess the good thing about her not having started my alterations yet is that she was able to remeasure both shirts for me, which needed to be done because her husband's attempt was completely inept. * I went back that evening to pick everything up. The husband was "helping" someone else with a fitting when I walked in, and made no attempt to get his wife to come help me, so I had to wait a while. I finally just grabbed my stuff to check it out while I waited. The stitching on both shirts was shoddy, with tons of threads sticking out. I found the strap on one shirt was not sewn properly, and I had to ask them to fix it. The seams on the straps on the other shirt are poorly placed...now on the front of my shoulders, instead of on the top or in the back. * THEN, after all this nonsense, she had the nerve to charge me more than what had been written on my ticket at drop off, saying her husband gave me prices that were too low originally!! She said her work was too high quality for such low prices! HA!! I was too tired and frustrated and behind schedule to really argue with her and not pay it, so I just did. * To top it all off, I get home, hang up my curtains, and find that she made one panel 2 inches shorter than the other!! WTH?! One is exactly the length we asked for, the other is 2 full inches shorter!! Unbelievable! Now I'm hassled no matter what. I have to make an extra trip down there to get a refund, try to get the curtains fixed, or replaced, or just live with uneven curtains. No matter what, it was just a huge pain in the butt, waste of time and waste of money!! Don't waste your time, money and clothes here!!! read more

Very unprofessional. She called me to tell me that the dress was ready and when I arrived to try it on, nobody was there. I called out hello a few times and then waited a few more minutes. Then again I called out "Hello?! Is anyone here?" That is when her son came rushing in apologizing because he was making food. When I asked him where his mother was he said "She had to leave for her other job." That really bugged me because she was supposed to be here when I tried the dress on to make sure it was how I wanted it, and she didn't even call to let me know that she was leaving. When I tried the dress on the off the shoulder sleeves I wanted were too tight and not right. I did not feel that her son was competent enough to do her work so after letting him know my frustrations I left and went to another place that was able to fix it in one day due to my emergency. I wanted to like this place because the owner seemed so nice, but her customer service was not up to par. read more

I have been to this place several times, mostly to have womens' slacks tapered in on the sides and hemmed up. Altogether I have had 16 slacks, including ones with delicate suit fabrics, altered in a consistent, quality manner. The service is friendly, prompt, and the value and location are great! read more
