I ran into today to have a very tiny hole sewn back together where some threading had come apart on a top of mine. The woman immediately took it back and started fixing it on the spot which I was not expecting. It took probably less than a minute and when she handed it back to me she told me I was good to go free of charge! It totally made my day, I already knew Manny's was the best but this took it to the next level and warmed my heart Go see them for all your needs!!! read more

Christina did my friend's wedding dress, and she has been nothing less than a professional. She was fun to be around, and made us all feel like old friends. My friend, the bride, gained just a few lbs and Christina was able to work with her and made the dress look fantastic. She also suggested a bustle and it looked amazing!! I'll post pics of the dress after the wedding. I wish this were closer to my house so I could bring my items to be altered, because this would be the only place I would go. read more

Manee's Tailoring & Alterations - Reception area - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

Best tailor in Virginia Beach! Actually, scrap that, best tailor I think I've had in my life! Excellent service, excellent work! I have had many items tailored here but felt compelled to write this review because I recently had a fairly complex suit jacket tailored by Cristina. She took the time to consider the best way to keep the beautiful lines of the jacket and it shows. If you don't live close by, it's still worth the drive for the quality craftsmanship here! read more

Wow! Everyone in this shop is great! I came in with my wedding dress and Cristina was the one to help me. She walked me through the whole process and answered all of my questions. I purchased the dress two years ago but Covid delayed the wedding so it did not fit like it originally did. Cristina found a way to fix it and make it look even better! I cannot wait for the final results! I'll share pictures after the wedding! Definitely recommend Cristina and this shop for your alterations! read more

Update: I was going through pictures and realized I forgot to upload their wonderful work on my wedding dress! Again, I absolutely recommend this place for any tailoring you need done. Quality work and fair prices. read more

My bridesmaid dress turned out beautifully! I also had her take in a pair of dress pants & those fit much better now!

Excellent work on my mother of the bride dress. Had to shorten the bodice (I'm short waisted). Fixed the cap sleeves to fit properly. Price was more than reasonable would highly recommend read more

One conversation with the owners niece Christina is enough for me to want to do business here. I walked in and asked for a price list, they do not have one. I asked if they have a website they do not have one. They also don't have a Facebook page. In the days of modern business these seem like negatives, but for this business I do not think that the case. Manee's is flush with business, customers old and new. I had no idea this tailor had been in same same location for at lease a dozen years. Manee is actually one of the tailors that many David's Bridal gowns have been sent to. If David's Bridal can trust them I probably can too. We shall see one day in the future. I highly recommended they start a Facebook page since it is much easier to manage and update than a website. Also, if someone other than the administrator had to fill in it wold be easy to learn. When the youngest member of this family business moves back to the area she may start up the Facebook page. She is aware that they are highly rated on Yelp. You can call in for estimates. They do recommend bringing in your items to have them priced since the price may vary based on what they see. read more

Fn Fyeah.. a tailor who knows their shit, gets it done and does it right. I took a couple dresses in here to be taken in since I've lost some poundage from when I cooked a baby in my body. The woman who took my measurements was quick, friendly and everything came out perfect. She even made suggestions on how to make them fit me more perfectly by taking in other areas that I didn't even know you could alter. Since they did such a great job on my everyday pieces, I decided to take my USMC Ball gown here to be altered as well. By the time she did her thang, there were about 400 pins in my dress, which worried the shit out of me, but I trusted that it would come out perfect. It did. I couldn't have been more pleased with their work, timeliness and prices. They aren't the cheapest in the area, but you get what you pay for, I believe. Thanks for making my clothes look amazing. You guys are THE JAM! read more

Super Super Nice and does quality work!!! Will definitely come back here as she is top notch.

100% would return for tailoring as needed (and I now live 30 minutes away). Manee's was friendly, efficient and provided a detail-oriented product. I'm a fan. read more

I've been coming here for about four years with items to be tailored and I have never once been disappointed. Exceptional quality! Great family/locally owned shop with excellent customer service. I will never go anywhere else in Norfolk/VA Beach. read more

Today is homecoming for my daughter. She dropped her dress off to be hemmed on Tuesday where she was assured the dress would be ready for pickup when they opened today, Saturday. Not only was it not ready, it was never done. I will say they pulled it together and had it done in an hour. But our entire days schedule had to be adjusted and my daughter had unnecessary anxiety and upset. Finally, they charged us $30 full price to hem an a-line knee length dress with no sequin or fancy design to work with. I would say our experience was disappointing, but you decide. read more

The seamstress did an excellent job on my mom's gown! It fit her like a glove and was completed timely. Highly recommend this place for alterations. Very nice staff. read more

Manee's Tailoring & Alterations - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

Manee's was always my favorite alterations spot when I lived in Pungo. Now that I'm at the beach I starting going somewhere else, but only due to convenience. I'm not sure what her name is (I think she's the owner, maybe?), well I try to get her when I'm having a nicer item taken in or hemmed (like an expensive dress). But I've always been pleased with who ever is working on that particular day. Their prices are reasonable & they're very friendly. They even rushed an alteration for us when one of my bridesmaids got a snag in her dress the day of my wedding. You do not have to worry about your clothes at Manee's- they'll take good care of you! read more

Best seamstress in VB! We trusted Manee with my husband's uniform based on Yelp reviews and were not let down! We were in a pinch and she got us in and out the same day. Thanks!! read more

I'm getting married in less than a month and I had to find an alterations specialist that could do my dress in that amount of time original and I went to a different place and the woman could not even be bothered to keep her appointments, made well in advance, and upon reading their reviews couldn't be bothered to finish dresses, either. In a state of panic I looked up, Manee's. They were so professional and not at all pushy. They listened to my thoughts and concerns, answered my questions, and if I didn't like something, they changed it, no questions asked. My dress came out beautifully, and I got it back well before the big day. They even added a bustle for me. read more

DO NOT GO HERE. I was fooled by their Yelp score, but both their customer service and quality of work are lacking, to say the least. I took a bridesmaid dress to Manee's given their Yelp reviews. I am devastated with the outcome of their work. They took a short cut to take in the dress and REMOVED THE TRAIN, without discussing it with me! Also, they were supposed to wait for me to bring in shoes to take up the dress, but cut the dress anyways and CUT IT TOO SHORT. The straps were too tight when I picked it up and I practically had to argue to get the straps loosened as I was repeatedly told it was "perfect." They finally agreed, but when I took it home to try it on the left strap broke. I immediately took it to another tailor to fix the strap and try to figure out why the back zipper was "puckering." I picked it up from the other tailor this morning. While there is a bit of a language barrier, I made out from her they took shortcuts to tailor the dress (hence cutting off the train). The seams are crooked and it would take a lot of work to correct their mistakes. So now I have a very expensive, poorly tailored, too short dress for my mother's wedding. The second tailor said she has had to fix work from there before. Save yourself the heartache and DON'T GO TO MANEE'S. read more

I'm 25 now but I've been going here since highschool getting my dresses tailored for ring dance and prom. I've brought in my scrubs for school, work clothes, bridesmaids dresses, and my regular pants (I'm pretty short) and Mannee always does a great job. read more

Dropped a jacket off Dec 8th to replace a zipper. $40 seemed high but she explained how much work it was. So it was also going to take a week to do. The day before it was supposed to be ready they asked for an extra day because they were so busy. Ok fine. We went in two full days after it was promised and first they couldn't find it. Then realized it was on a table not even finished! By now they'd had it for 10 days. She said it would be ready in 3 hours. But we had to leave town do it was 2 days before we went back and guess what. Still wasn't ready. In the end they took over 2 weeks and still charged $20 to do it. Not to mention they did a crap job. The stitching is awful. I wish I could leave less then 1 Star. Be ware!! read more

I needed some uniforms to be tailored and they were very quick and measured everything, and told me to pick it up the following week on a Thursday. I picked it up and everything looked great! read more

Amazing job, bridesmaid dress altered to perfection and they finished it within a week. Charged an arm and a leg . Very nice staff. We recently moved here from MI where I had a wonderful tailor who would've charged me around $50-60. Manee's charged $100!!!! They do a great job but way too expensive. read more

I had straps on a bridesmaid dress fixed here. Very friendly employees and I found the price I paid fair. I had the strap of the dress shortened and it cost $20. They have two dressing rooms and parking out front is easy to find. Highly recommend them for professional altering of dresses. They seem to do a lot of wedding dresses and bridesmaid dresses. read more

I just left in tears. I called to ask for an idea of how much altering my wedding gown would be and she told me that she wouldn't tell me that over the phone. I asked to come in and she said she was totally free. When I got there she said she needed to do the fitting before she could give me any estimates. So I spent over an hour with her fitting my dress. I'm short so we had to take a few inches off. She kept assuring me that she would rather I let her do some kind of pinning to the dress instead of cutting it. The dress does have a lot of layers and organza ruffles so I could understand maybe needing to do things differently. So I trusted her. But that turned out to be a lot more expensive aparently. Then at the end when I was ready to pay she charged me $324. I bought the dress for $158 in the first place. Needless to say I was shocked and basically terrified because I do not have that kind of money right now. I just finished paying for a wedding. It's in 3 weeks. Maybe that's a normal price. I don't know. If I could've gotten some kind of rough estimate, I wouldn't have let it get as far as it did.This is definitely my first and hopefully last time I'll ever need a wedding dress so I've never done this before. That was bad but it definitely got worse. I told her that I had not been prepared for that price and I didn't have that kind of money. She immediately caught an attitude. Her whole demeanor changed. She basically was like a bully at that point. She told me to make a decision. She said that either I pay her now or she'll take the pins out right now. I asked her if I could go home and talk it over with my husband to see if I could possibly find the money from somewhere . She told me she had to hold my dress until I called her back. She also kept repeating how suddenly busy she was and how I was inconveniencing her because she has a vacation coming up on the 8th. I wasn't really comfortable leaving it with her at that point, but I didnt want her to undo the work in case i can find the money. She was clearly angry with me so I left it there. I'm so hurt. I will have to call her tomorrow to tell her that I actually don't want her to be the one to do the work on my dress anymore. Not a good way to treat customers when all I wanted was a quote in the first place. read more

Had a chaise lounge cushion cover's zipper repaired- so fast, honest, and affordable. Will come back for future tailoring needs!!

Saved my wedding dress! She's amazing & so patient!! Will do whatever it takes to make your item perfect! Got me in same day & done in time for wedding! Highly recommend her services!!! read more

The ladies here are wonderful! They've helped me with everything from simple to major jobs and were even more than willing to help when I asked for a second opinion on my measurements for ordering a custom wedding dress. I won't go anywhere else. read more

Manee has helped me take in four dresses now. Each one was expertly tailored and I am very happy with her services. The most recent dress was taken in on both sides in the waist and hips, the hemline was raised and was taken up at the straps (it was a bridesmaid dress). The dress was basically re-made. The fit was impeccable and the work was done in less than a week's time. Manee is kind; she is pleasant to work with. One time she took in a dress and when I went to pick it up it was still a bit too big. She immediately offered to redo it and have it ready the next day. She didn't make me feel fussy at all; she simply and politely agreed that it wasn't a good fit yet and offered a remedy. I will absolutely continue to have my garments tailored at Manee's. read more

I am a bridesmaid in a wedding in florida. The bride ordered my dress without me trying it on and it was very small in the top. I was told by another tailor that they could not let it out. There was not enough material. I took it to Manee's and she did not question it. She did an AMAZING job. I will be going back for all of my alteration needs. read more

I've come here twice now to get a dress altered and hemmed and each visit was wonderful! Everyone knows their stuff and their customer service is phenomenal. Manee has been there both times I've come in and she really knew what she was doing. I don't think I'll go anywhere else to get anything altered or hemmed! read more

I had a great experience. I was able to get a dress tailored and picked up the same day for an event. They took so much stress off my shoulders and did an awesome job. Very professional. read more

Great tailoring place. Great staff and turnaround time for clothes is very fast if you need it. It is the only place I go to for tailoring. I go to school out of the area and If I buy something I wait to go home and go here to get my tailoring done. read more

Items were not done on time. They kept making excuses as to why the item wasn't ready. I wish we would have received a phone call with an update. We wish we took the items somewhere else, won't be going back. read more

I've used this shop a ton for alterations and they have always been priced fairly, very nice to deal with and perfect in their work. Great shop. read more

Wonderful people and quality tailoring. I brought in a skirt that needed a new zipper and it was ready quickly and looks terrific. I will definitely be a return customer. read more

tailoring isn't cheap. I buy clothes on sale and have them tailored and it often costs more than the 10-20$ spent on the item. In the end I get perfectly structured clothing for less than 40$ and I look like I walked out into 5th avenue. Manees is fairly priced and always perfect with their tailoring! read more

Love Manee and her staff! I've been getting my alterations done for several years and they are reliable and professional. Manee is knows me so I feel like she is a doctor of my clothes. Very personable much like a family. read more

I really enjoyed my experience here! They weren't too busy and got me into the dressing room quickly. I had a short bridesmaids dress, and the sweet woman working in the front helped me to find the right fit adjusting the straps and the hem. This was my first visit, but there was a steady stream of regulars. When I picked up the dress, it was perfect and cost $55, which is about what I would expect for the job. read more
