I originally went to another alteration shop to get my wedding dress altered, but they were ultimately unable to complete what I wanted for my dress. With only about a week to spare, I brought my dress to Rita's and she saved the day. She was able to complete my dress in a week and was so sweet and understanding about the situation. She also went in and fixed mistakes that the other shop made with my dress. I highly recommend Rita's for your alteration needs. read more

Rita's legitimately saved my wedding and I am eternally thankful. I'm a former Arizona resident, but currently live in a small coastal Texas town. I purchased the dress of my dreams at a bridal shop in Austin 5 months before the wedding, but live 3.5 hours south and my wedding was in Arizona. Because of the distance and short time frame, I couldn't utilize the seamstress recommendations provided by the dress shop. I did finally find someone in my town to make alterations but there was a huge language barrier and unfortunately when I picked the dress up 6 weeks ahead of the wedding, the necessary adjustments were not completed. By the luckiest of chances, my mom in AZ found Rita's in a Google search. I was in Arizona for 2 days exactly 2 weeks before the wedding. Rita's explained that the alterations were complex due to the fabric but she could make it work for pick up the day before the wedding - and she absolutely delivered!! The difference was night and day - just perfect!! I cannot believe how talented she is and how beautifully she was able to accommodate my last minute, intricate alteration. She also offered very detailed instructions (that we videoed for later reference) on how to bustle my dress. I would 1000000% recommend Rita's to anyone and everyone - extremely talented and completely trustworthy. read more

I called Rita's on a Wednesday to see if they could hem a bridesmaid dress by the following Thursday (a week & a day later). They said absolutely. I came into Rita's and was greeted and helped right away. Rita was very nice and gave me a fair price for the hemming of the dress. I got a call on Friday stating my dress was already ready. I tried the dress on when I got home and it is absolutely perfect! I am very pleased with the quality and speed of service I received at Rita's and will definitely be back and recommend to anyone with alteration needs! read more

Rita was wonderful and extremely accommodating! I called in advance to ask if she was able to fix a few of my dresses but it was not bridal. I brought the dresses over to show her and she happily fixed them for me. Even though I told her I was flexible with timing she did them very quick and now my dresses fit me perfectly ! Thank you Rita read more

Highly recommend!! I found Rita's on Yelp and took my bridesmaid dress to her and she worked incredible magic on it! I ordered a dress based on my measurements, but it ended up being way too long and all the proportions were off. I took it to her and she was able to transform it so it fit me well and looked amazing. She did the first set of alterations in a few days and had my dress ready just over a week after I dropped it off. Just a note: she only takes cash and allows you to pay part of it upfront, otherwise you pay in full once you pick up your dress. read more

Rita is so accommodating! I needed a dress hemmed in a rush.. "3 day" we ladies know usually it takes about 10 days to get an alteration back. I really appreciate how nice she is! I will continue to go back many times over! read more

Rita made it very easy. I brought in a bridesmaids dress that needed the length altered. She got the job done flawlessly! I will definitely be telling my girlfriends that need formal dresses altered to come here. Highly recommend. read more

Rita is absolutely incredible! I had gone to another alteration place for my wedding dress and was not satisfied with my consultation experience. My mother-in-law consulted Yelp and found Rita's Custom Dress & Alteration. There was ample parking as we pulled into the Plaza. As soon as we walked in we were at ease. She has tons of dresses everywhere, photos and thank you cards from previous brides, and you can tell she is experienced and professional. She is also an extreme sweetheart. As soon as I tried on my dress I didn't have to give her much advice. She knew exactly what needed to be taken in. She also recommended I do a bustle which I hadn't considered before. We made an appointment for me to try on the dress with the alterations a few weeks later. Everything fit perfectly and we made one more appointment for me to come back a few weeks after that to try on the dress with the bustle built-in. Each appointment only lasted about 20 minutes. I paid my first portion on my second visit in the remainder on my third visit-cash only. I grew more and more happy with this experience and Rita is such an incredible human being. She does an incredible job and she comes highly recommended from this bride! read more

Rita is so AMAZING and is the kindest soul! She delivered on everything she said she was gunna do and I wouldn't ever recommend anyone else! She shortened the shoulder length on my dress, brought up the hem of my dress which had about 6 different layers, and even added a bustle for me! read more

I'm a new bride who just got married and couldn't be happier I found Rita! What a GEM! I'm so grateful my friends referred me to her. She runs her own store and does all the work herself. She is the sweetest! and her prices are very reasonable as well! (As a struggling bride, on a budget, paying for her wedding. I was very pleased with the price). She's incredibly efficient and works fast. There's no need to worry about getting your dress on time. She will make that her priority so that you're good to go before your event. My dress fit perfectly for my wedding and I'm so thankful for Rita and her magical hands. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER :) read more

I really wish I had a better experience at Rita's given all the high praise she receives on Yelp. I took a bridesmaid's dress there to be altered about 2 weeks before the wedding and I was miserable with the fit. She runs a very busy shop, non stop traffic in and out, only one dressing room, and CASH ONLY. Keep this in mind if you have a large party or several people to fit. She does not have any helpers either. My dress was pretty complicated, 3 layers, and I am petite, so quite a bit had to come off the bottom. I wanted it a tad shorter because I was going to change shoes after the ceremony. Rita was adamant that shorter would look worse (which it probably would) but I was miserable the entire day of the wedding, holding up my dress so it wouldn't drag. Also, I believe something could have been done about the shoulders and bodice to make it more snug. I survived the event, but if I want to wear the dress again, I will need to get it altered further. read more

Rita's is the place to go for your custom wedding alterations. This shop is a gem! Her niece, Rina, owns the business now & is just as wonderful as Rita. Beyond professional & will make sure your daughter's wedding dress fits perfectly. Thank you for now fitting both of my daughters for their special day!! read more

They may be good with simple fixes but highly incapable of even slightly complex alterations whether It be an evening gown or a simple skirt . Last year we took a pageant gown and she had no idea how to fix the length ( not rocket science ) Also terrible customer service - She ruined the outfit just during her evaluation and trying to explain that she cannot alter it - disrespectful because it was purchased / stitched in a foreign country -i am Extremely annoyed by her arrogant behavior and would not recommend their service at all! read more

They did a great job with the alterations on my daughters dress. Fast and friendly service. Thank you! read more

Rita did an amazing job hemming both my moms gown and my wedding gown for my spring nuptials! I was a bit worried after purchasing my dream dress to have the bottom hemmed for my 5ft 2in height as there were these beautiful embroidered flower appliqué adoring the hem of my skirt. Rita took extra care by removing each appliqué flower and placing them back on after hemming to my perfect height. She also sewed my removable sleeves on and made my bishop sleeve a bit more fitted. While there were other seamstresses that were a bit cheaper Rita was 100% worth it and made sure both my dress and my moms dress were perfect for my special day. read more

I came in with a dress that I needed altered ASAP for bridal photos. I was a wreck trying to find someone who could get it done in time, much less someone who was in my budget. She was by far the cheapest and the turnaround time was very very quick. My dress was NOT easy to alter due to all of the beading but she made it look great!!! She's also the sweetest lady ever. I recommend her to everyone who needs a dress altered!!! read more

Oh Rita is the absolute sweetest woman I have ever met! She is so precise on her alterations and extremely TIMELY! I have never gotten an item altered so quickly! I dropped my maid of honor dress off to her on a Wednesday and she had it complete that Saturday! I was so impressed. Her prices are extremely reasonable as well! Rita's hospitality is so genuine and like-home feeling. I will never go anywhere else for alterations :) read more

I was referred to Rita from Uptown Bridal for my wedding dress and she is the sweetest lady ever! Please note that she doesn't really take appointments but will tell you what time you should come after your 2nd and 3rd fittings and she takes cash only. Also, her place is really small with 1 dressing room and small waiting area with maybe 4 seats. She's the only person there that will see each customer and help you one on one. She will make sure to tell you to bring your shoes to each fitting so don't forget! Rita does alterations for dresses only and nothing else. If you go there you can see all the wedding dresses she does in the back! I was in shock when I saw all those dresses and she told me she does them all with the help of her husband. I went to Rita not only for my wedding dress but last minute I had to get another gown altered for my husband's military event and I didn't think she would have time but she did which was great! She made sure I got my dress before I had to leave to ATL and was a life saver! For both of my dresses, she knew exactly what to do with them and was very detailed. She made sure it was to my liking but also she voiced her opinion as well and did not rush me. Overall, I had a great experience with her and we even just chatted when no one was in the store to get to know one another so it was very personable. I would definitely recommend her! read more

Absolutely love this shop! Everyone is so sweet and very professional. I bought a few dresses for summer that came slightly too long in the straps. I took all three outfits into Rita's as a walk-in and within only one week she had them all finished! Now everything fits literally perfectly and the alterations are so good no one would ever even know. Highly recommend!! read more

Rita is AMAZING. I had a complicated alteration that I very badly needed for a bridesmaid's dress. I had gone to multiple other seamstresses and tailors before finally finding Rita. The others told me it either wasn't possible, it wouldn't be done in time, or both. I took it to Rita and immediately she says "no problem", and had it done the very next day. I was so impressed by her skill and quick turnaround time (not to mention she's the sweetest!). It fits perfectly and I was so relieved after getting turned away so many times. I will recommend her to anyone that needs alterations for their formal/bridal gowns. It doesn't get better than Rita! read more

I had popped a button off my shirt and stopped by here to see if I could leave the shirt with Rita to get fixed. Rita was actually able to fix it right there for a great price and I was on my way. She spent her time finding the right type of button to match and didn't just throw a random one on. Will definitely be coming back for future needs. read more
