Miranda is truly talented at her craft. She turned my wedding dress into my daughter's first communion dress for a very reasonable price. Each step of the process was enjoyable for all of us. The dress came out even more beautiful than I imagined and fit my daughter perfectly. We will always be thankful for her help with this special project. read more

Miranda Tailor Shop - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Cheshire, Connecticut

I can't really address Kerrin R.'s review because I'm a guy and will never have a dress done at her place (well, I guess never say never!). But, I have had several pairs of jeans and pants altered there, and I've never had a problem. With the jeans, they weren't the absolute best job, but she was very upfront about the technique she was going to use; from a distance, it looks just like the original stitching (and honestly, if someone were examining the stitching from anywhere closer than a distance, the stitching would be the last thing I was worried about). It's a tiny place-- but it gets the job done. The things I've taken to her are designer labels, not some cheap brands... so for what it's worth, I guess it means I trust her! I guess different people have different experiences, but I give this place my stamp of approval. read more

Miranda Is a wonderful tailor and seamtress. She is talented and reasonably priced,. She is a delight to deal with. On the one hand I'd like to keep this valuable resouce to myself, but she is better served by my sharing my excellent experiences. Furher, I am posting this review due to seeing a negative review for Miranda, when I was looking up Mirands's address for a recommendation I am giving to someone, ... I saw Kerrin's negative review, andf realized it appears that Kerrin was complaining about the wrong seamtress... there is another seamtress nearby who is a nice little Italian lady, who I also had not a good experience with, BUT Mirands is not a little Italian lady, She is of much taller stature and not Italian. Unfotunately Kerrin has mistakenly posted a negative review for the wrong business !!! Miranda is a talented and reasoanbly priced craftsman for tailoring and repair who I enthusiastically recommend. 10 Plus rating. E York 02/28/2011 read more

Definitely go to Miranda! She did an incredible job on my wedding dress. I went to her 1 week before my wedding and it was no problem to fit me in. She gave her expert opinion on the best thing to do to make my beautiful second hand dress fit in the bust. And it worked perfectly! Couldn't be happier. In addition, she went above and beyond to help get my dress cleaned and pressed in time for the big day. I'm a very satisfied customer. read more

I needed several skirts fitted, finished and hemmed for the next day, I can't say enough positive things! She fixed what in error I had made wrong, altered them to fit perfectly, and hemmed them all to fit perfectly! With out a doubt I keep recommending her to all my friends. In 36 hours she helped put the finishing touches on a diesel punk outfit, a rock a billy costume and even helped figure out how to finish a steam punk salon girl. Courteous, knowledgeable, and understanding, could not have asked for a better experience. read more

Brought a bridesmaid dress here for alterations. Dress was not done a week after the latest date she estimated, and she attempted to push back my appointment day-of because she didn't have the dress done. Hem was cut visibly crooked, which she denied, claiming I was slumping, and I had to argue to have it fixed. I just got it home and looked at the dress in brighter lighting and there is a huge coffee stain across the front of it. Unprofessional atmosphere, strangely dim lighting, disorganized storage system. I am not impressed. Hopefully this giant stain will come out with dry cleaning. read more

Kerrin R., your description is for the wrong tailor, not Miranda's Tailor Shop. Miranda isn't short, about 5' 8", and from Albania. Your comments are probably spot on, but those are for the tailor in the Watch Factory Shops across the way. Unless, your remarks are from a period before 2008, when a different lady occupied Miranda's current location at 9 S. Main Street. Paul's Fine Clothiers in the Watch Factory Shops, will bring clothes to Miranda, when his long time tailor is on vacation in Italy, or he has leather to alter, because he can't or won't work on leather. Most people won't work on leather, mostly because they don't know how, but Miranda will. She can, and has made custom dresses from blank fabrics. read more

Miranda just finished my wedding dress. Not only was she very professional and cost effective but she is sweet as pie! I asked her to add a thicker sleeve and she knew exactly what I wanted. She also didn't mind at all when I gained a little weight... Lol... And she had to take out my dress at the last minute! read more

This woman is fantastic!! Cares about the quality of her work and the service to her customers. Pays attention to the details!! Nice as can be and will do her best to accommodate your requests! Love this place. I still come to her, even after I moved an hour away. read more

I bought a complete suit from zaras in august for a wedding in october and it fit just right but at the time I was a little overweight and decided to get back in shape for the wedding the pants size was 38 waste and now I'm a 32 so I decided to bring the suit to Miranda's and I'm very picky when it comes to close but when I tried the suit on after alteration I was blown away on the wonderful job she did everything fit perfect and just the way I wanted it and the prices are very reasonable too, if your looking for a good tailor this is the place to come ill def. be coming back here for future alterations. Thank you Miranda read more

Not the most glamorous shop but she's very friendly and efficient. She was able to alter a suit for me on short notice.

I called and made an appointment to have a dress altered, I scheduled it for 230pm. After waiting for 30 minutes outside the tailor shop in the 80 degree weather i decided to give up and leave after she ended up having 4 other people waiting for her to arrive as well. I called and left a message as to where she was and when to expect her (as we made an appointment) I still have yet to hear back from her, 8 days later. How do you own a business and be so irresponsible? read more

Miranda hemmed 2 dresses for me. One was a long dress made out of stretchy material and the other one was a cocktail dress with 2 layers of a metallic material. She did an awesome job on both. She was very nice and I had the pieces back within a week. I'm very happy with her work and wouldn't hesitate to go to her again. I would definitely recommend her. read more

I recently brought several pairs of pants to Miranda's Tailoring to have shortened. My 2 sons were leaving for college so timing was an important factor. She shortened 9 pairs of pants for us in 4 days and she charged less than the cleaners we had been using. Her work was perfect. When I picked up the pants I brought more in thinking that I would have to mail them when they were done. When she realized that I was planning to mail them she turned them around in 2 days so they could be ready for my sons to take with them! No extra charge for the rush job. She is also a very lovely women and takes a lot of pride in her work. Would highly recommend her. read more

Miranda is very skilled at her trade- Just Fantastic! My daughter was getting married and wanted to wear my wedding dress. (Preserved - and stored for 35 years!) It was a white taffeta dress with a cathedral train, long- sleeved, sweet heart neck, lace and beaded bodice with buttons all down the back. Alterations were required for the beaded bodice and lace appliqued long sleeves, as my daughter was a little bigger in the bust than I was. We had a very limited window of time for alterations, since my daughter was out of state with a crazy training schedule. Miranda worked with our crunched timelines, despite her busy workload and knew exactly what to do to at our first meeting/ fitting! She was always pleasant and extremely meticulous with the wedding dress and used great care and diligence when handling it. She treated the dress as if it had been in her own family! Additionally, she modified my veil to my daughter's delight- so her bridal ensemble was complete! Miranda is a lovely lady, has reasonable rates and is a pleasure to work with. read more

I took my wedding dress to Miranda's shop it fit prefect she just had to hem it. She had 4 weeks to do my dress and wait till the day before I was leaving to do it. She then tried to hem the dress from the middle of the dress without telling me. When i went to try on my dress it was all messed up in the waist. It was a flared dress so there was fabric bunched up and it was still too long. So 4 days before my wedding I had to take my dress to another tailor get fixed and then re-hemed. It was a mess and would not suggest taking dresses to this tailor shop!!!! read more
