Larissa is amazing when it comes to clothing alterations. She has made a number of alterations to pants, skirts, and dresses, including the dresses for ballroom dancing (very tricky for alterations). In one particular instance, I ordered a gorgeous white gown with delicate red roses, covered in numerous rhinestones to be shipped from Japan; however, when ordering a dress online there is always a risk that the size of the dress will not work out. As in this case, the dress arrived and it was too big. I had very limited time to get the dress ready for a dance competition. We knew Larissa was the right person for the job. She has had great experience making adjustments to prom, evening and wedding gowns. Larissa skillfully took the extra fabric from the sides and the bottom of the dress, thus making it a perfect fit and enhancing the design of the roses on the front and the back of the dress. She finished the work on time, not only meeting but exceeding our expectations. My dress looked magnificent on the floor. I highly recommend Larissa's services for all alterations needs. read more

Larissa did an absolutely FABULOUS job on my wedding gown alterations! I bought a dress (a sample, never worn) online, and needed someone to take in the bust and adjust the length (I am a 5'3"). Larissa totally delivered. Only her skills could get me to drive from Kinston out to Goldsboro for fittings ;) The time and care she took with my dress was just amazing and the attention to detail was incredible. My dress didn't have a waistline to it so we weren't sure at first how to bustle it, but Larissa came up with a solution that looked really beautiful. The price was also extremely reasonable for the amount of time and energy Larissa put into perfectly tailoring the dress. I would highly recommend Larissa for your wedding dress! (Just don't wait until the last minute - I hear she's busy :) read more

What a great place! I chose Larissa's because three of my girlfriends suggested it and I was not disappointed. I ended up taking my daughter there as well, for her bridal gown, and it fit like a glove! Her four bridesmaids also took their dresses there and every one of them was pleased with the fit as well as the prices. My mother's dress also was tailored to perfection, and only in a week's time, since I waited till last minute. They have a great atmosphere there, beautiful interior design and the shop is SO CLEAN! Because I've been to other alteration shops, and trust me, some of them are filthy. And one more thing I like about going to Larrissa's - you're always greeted with a sincere smile! I've been recommending this place to all my friends and relatives. read more

I went to Larissa for a custom job on a dash mat for a truck. This was a very detail oriented job with a lot of tough and heavy duty stitching and some embroidery. I didn't care about a quick turn around time since it was a custom project and she was SUPER busy (racks were totally full from customers). Well, she still got my project done in less than a week and it turned out PERFECT! Couldn't be happier. It still going strong with no stitching coming lose or fraying after plenty of abuse. She now does all my uniforms (USAF). I think the negative reviews are isolated events as I can find anything wrong with this place. Go there, you will be glad that you did. read more

I am a very picky person when it comes to alterations. I've been to all the sewing places in town and was never quite satisfied with the quality. A friend of mine suggested this place. Since then I've taken a boatload of stuff, mainly my long formal gowns and cocktail dresses and my few bridesmaid's dresses. Larissa got them all to fit like a glove! I have never been happier with my seamstress. I've been recommending her store to all my family and friends, and will never go to anyone else! read more

I've only had hems here and they do a good job with them. Always solid, never had a problem. I will admit that they are a little more expensive than some other places, but for the convenience of where they're located I'm quite happy with everything I take there. They can also be a little direct there, but that's fine. They're the experts. read more

I recommend this place to anyone who needs any type of alterations done!!! I recently got married and did not find my dress until 3 weeks before my wedding. She got me in and altered my dress with in 2 weeks and did not break the bank to do it and I could not be happier!!! Definitely 2 thumbs up from me!!! read more

Larissa has an opinion, but has never pushed it without asking. Her suggestions have always looked good. Prices are fair, too.
