    They are wonderful and prompt. They take great care in handling your clothes, making sure everything's wrapped in plastic and hung well. They have hemmed a bridesmaid dress (which they hung on a hanger with a bust to help keep the shape of the dress), a blazer, and a jacket for me. My dress was chiffon from azazie with three layers. They seemed to have tons of bridesmaid dresses to alter. For my blazer, they took in the sides and did the sleeves. For my jacket, they did the sleeves. I have no complaints about their work! Overall, reasonable value for the price and quality of work.

    I LOVE THIS TAILOR! They went above and beyond for me in such a short notice. I can not thank Lee and Lynn enough. They reassured me that they could do what needed to be done to make sure I felt comfortable in my bridesmaids dress. Thank you again, I definitely did :)

    3/2/20 Walking into the store gave me a good feeling. I could hear Van Morrison's Crazy Love playing in the background. AWESOME! I also smelled a nice clean scent on the store to. The woman wearing one of my favorite colors (Emerald Green) sweaters greeted me with a weary smile. I asked how quickly she repair a zipper on a pair of pants. Two to three days was the answer I recieved. Unfortunately since the pants I am wearing had it's zipper come off on one side of the pants, i am in need for it to be repaired. Since I am on the job this very moment, I am pressed for time. The woman who I have come to think of as Doris Wong, wasn't able to do it. She said "maybe two days time." This isn't good enough for me, do I said "thank you and left." The location of this business is in the Mosaic Center of Falls Church on the right side next to Four Sisters Restaurant. It is a busy store so I am not surprised she couldn't do it today. Still, I might get something done here at another time.

    $45 basic alteration shortening dress. my other dress was more complicated, $50 for alteration shorting+$35 to shorten straps

    Lovely tailors and was on the recommended sheet from Anthropologie weddings, but wouldn't recommend…read morefor wedding dress besides maybe hemming. My soft cat eye top was taken in and from the front center, which changed the look of the dress and where it sat on my chest. I said it wasn't what we discussed and it changed the dress, and they suggested cutting the cat eye corners. I showed them the picture of how it was before and said to make it just that way and the next week luckily they did--it was back as it was! The hemming was just fine and done well. The bustle loops were made of a material that was like a very thin clear fishing line. I was a bit nervous about how it would hold up but I trusted it since I'm no expert. Sadly 1 of 3 bustle loops snapped before walking into the reception and a second bustle loop snapped 10 minutes into dancing. It looks so weird in pictures but it was game time and we couldn't grab a pin. It was a heavy ballgown with a cathedral train and multiple layers. Because it was just so heavy and impossible to hold up, I had to put on my outfit from the rehearsal 30 min into dancing. Luckily I had it with me, but I was so bummed because I wanted to wear it for at least half of the reception dancing! I'd come here for other tailoring because they're quick and reasonable pricing, but not for wedding dresses.

    Young's has done a great job hemming pants and dresses from me, as well as other minor alterations.read more

    I saw the bad reviews but this location is so convenient I thought I'd give it a try anyway, just…read morein case. Well, I got my answer: the bad reviews this place has received are not flukes. It really is that bad. 1. After paying the full price listed on the ticket, but only receiving 4 items (instead of the 5 listed on the ticket) and questioning the discrepancy, the person working said that the 5th item had not been dropped off. Isn't the point of a receipt to have documentation between customer and business on the number of items dropped off? The amount charged for the 5th item was then deducted from the price, but I will never trust leaving any clothing items here again. 2. I had 2 blouses that needed to be cleaned. Both were returned covered with spots. (Yet their story on why the ticket listed an additional dress was that they had returned the dress to me because it had a spot on it that they could not clean. So why did they accept the 2 blouses then?). 3. The pants that were returned had pieces of what looked like twigs on it. I can only imagine that the pants were dropped on the ground and they didn't get all of the pieces of twig off of the pants before returning the "cleaned" pants to me. I didn't think a dry cleaning business could be this bad. I had really thought the bad reviews were random one-off bad experiences, but could not possibly be indicative of a business that could still have customers after more than a few weeks of being open. This was quite a surprise, which is why I needed to write this review so others will be aware.

Chi was so kind from my first call - she never made me feel bad about coming to her in such a time crunch, and offered very reasonable alteration rates! From our first appointment, it was clear that Chi is an expert at her craft and is passionate about her work. She really cares about her brides and making sure we look and feel our best!! When I first received my dress, the neckline looked way different from when I tried on the store sample - Chi took a look at the original pics I had, and helped get the neckline back to the look I loved. In addition to the alterations, which were masterfully done, Chi offered some much appreciated wedding day wisdom that covered little details I would have missed otherwise. I would recommend Chi to any and every bride in the area. She does phenomenal work, and is such a sweet person!

With that said... I'm sharing a few photos from when I was doing my alterations with you at your home to the actual wedding day. Seeing the transformation makes me even more grateful for your talent. Your work was truly stunning. My dress fit me like a glove -- honestly, even better than I ever imagined it would. You did an exquisite job, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I absolutely loved working with you. You're so knowledgeable, kind, patient, professional, and incredibly detail-oriented... just like me ;) I felt so confident and beautiful, and that's all thanks to you.
