She not only did an amazing job with the alterations but also gave me great ideas on how to style my dresses differently--and they turned out even more beautiful than I imagined. She always delivers on time and is very open to suggestions, even last-minute ones. I would recommend her without a doubt to anyone looking for quality work and a personal touch!

Josiann knew just how to make it work, plus she completed the task in advance of the due date. I'm grateful for her services as a quality seamstress.

The shop is not just cluttered, it is filthy. She advertises a two-day turnaround. She told me my dress would be ready in a week. The dress was ready, when promised. However, when I went to pick-up the dress, she would not let me try it on. Upon arriving home, I found that the dress was too long. Because she is a cash-only business, I could not stop payment. Expensive. Shoddy alterations. Filthy environment. Sketchy pick-up. Poor renovations. Lousy business practices.

Jacqueline saved the day! True to many brides' actual nightmares - I had a wedding dress fiasco a…read moremere few weeks away from my wedding! The seamstress had added pea-sized buttons on my derrière, where buttons did not previously exist. Jacqueline was not only quick to respond, but was able to fix my problem in less than 15 minutes. This, I see, as a victory, because the seamstress who I went to in the first place had looked me dead in the eye when I told her I didn't like the outcome of my dress, and asked her to remove the buttons, and said "I can't do that. It's sewn on." Jacqueline was not only pleasant to chat with as she quickly brought me back from wedding nightmare dreamscape, but she walked me through exactly what she was doing. Her space was cozy and clean. Her attitude was very welcoming and funny. She is clearly an expert in the space. I wish I had gone to her in the first place and would recommend her to anyone looking to put a very special dress into expert-yet-affordable hands!

Jackie from Hem and Veil is absolutely incredible. My wedding dress alteration process has been far…read morefrom stressful with her at the helm of it all. She was easy to schedule with, communicate with and incredibly professional. She left no question unanswered. During my final dress fitting, she worked on my dress with it on my body for almost 2 hours until she got the final look and fit we both wanted. She worked very meticulously on every small detail of my dress that needed attention and in my opinion went above and beyond to ensure my needs were met and exceeded. I will also add- coming from someone who isn't the most comfortable or confident in these types of social situations, Jackie had my mind at ease and got me so excited for my big day. If you are in Maine and looking for a dedicated, professional, and absolutely amazing seamstress, look no further than Jackie at Hem and Veil. Affordable and phenomenal work. I will add photos of my dress after the wedding :)

I wish that Yelp allowed for 6 star reviews because Sarah would deserve it…read more I took my lace wedding dress to the 2 best rated tailors in Boston, no exaggeration, both made Best of Boston and they both were extremely disappointing. I frantically emailed Sarah 4 days before my wedding because I had finally given up when the last tailor STILL after 4 fittings didn't get my train correct. Sarah calmly took my dress and made it beautiful. She fixed everything and redid much of the work that was sloppily done from before. I swear that it looked like a different more beautiful dress once Sarah had it for 48 hours. I recommend any bride getting married between Boston and Portland, ME to come to Sarah if you want your dress to be in the best hands.

She COMPLETELY deconstructed my dress and rebuilt it (there wasn't one piece of that dress that wasn't reworked!) over a matter of two months. Her talent is simply amazing, not to mention she is also very personable and a joy to work with. Oh, and her prices were extremely reasonable, which was a real plus for a bride on a budget! She has a cute little shop in the time and temp building (she talked about moving, so definitely give her a call to confirm where she's at)... I highly recommend Sarah for any of your tailoring and alterations needs!
