Her services are very reasonably priced, she works quickly, and she goes above and beyond to make sure you look and feel your best. We added straps to my dress pretty late in the process because I was started to second guess my choice of a strapless dress... she just whipped out her box of dress straps she's saved over the years and we found the perfect match! I would recommend Pins and Needles to anyone looking for alterations - wedding or other!

Several of my colleagues go here and have raved about Christina and her work, so I entrusted them and her. I needed the back taken in as it pushed out too much, the bottom taken up as I'm short (even with heels), cups added into the chest area, and the bright white cups the designer put under the lace taken out. Christina did an excellent job with all the alterations she made. She was friendly, personable, efficient, and talented. At my final fitting, I wasn't loving how my chest sat in the dress with the cups and Christina made sure I was happy before leaving that day. We altered the cups quite a few times until it worked with my body. I am so happy I chose Pins & Needles for my alterations and would absolutely go back should I find myself needing alterations again.

So of course, I turned to Yelp to find my best options. There was a shop in Medford, MA in my hometown, but based on Lynn's good reviews I decided to trek all the way to North Andover. If you are coming from the 93, be prepared to drive through a national forest (pretty cool and calming to be honest) to get here, but trust me... it's worth your trip. Lynn does a FANTASTIC job on alternations. She listened to what I wanted, gave advice and suggestions (and yes, she knows her stuff) but ultimately what made me love her the most was how easy she was to work with. I went 4x to try my dress and towards the end I made a very late decision to take out the push up part of my bust (sorry TMI!) and she worked with me and even went in early two days later so I could try it on before I left for my wedding. I cannot say I was the easiest bride, but I can say she was ALWAYS so pleasant to work with. There are comments below about her price points, while I will say wedding dress or formal dress alternations are NOT cheap, it really matters with quality of the alterations. Wedding dresses are not "one size fits all" in fact mine was way too big for me and Lynn did a perfect job to get my dress to flatter my body type. So in the end I was and still am willing to pay $ for good alternations and exceptional customer service. The comments I got on how fitted my dress was were insurmountable and I truly felt like a beautiful bride on my wedding day. Other plus' about her shop are that it's off the Turnpike in North Andover, not too far from 93 and there is always plenty of parking. I drove to see Lynn from Medford and it wasn't that bad of a ride. Definitely call to make an appointment, you won't regret it!

Margarita charged me $400 for all of the alterations (hem, bust, adjustments here and there) -- but I later found out all the other bridesmaids paid closer to $100 for the same stuff at their respective tailors. I was shocked by the price, and do feel she was up selling. But I needed the alterations done quickly, and Margarita did everything right on schedule. The alterations were immaculate, there's no doubt about that. However, had I done my research and inquired beforehand, I definitely would've thought again about finding something more cost effective.
