After a major lifestyle change I had some pants that no longer fit. Too expensive to just get rid of and replace. Next best thing? Alteration. Took a shot in the dark and stopped here. I was met by the owner, cheerful and smiling. Tried on, marked and paid for. I'm in no hurry so whenever. Ok come back on ... calls the day before she's having problems can I wait until she returns from a trip. Sure no prob as long as I get them back by... I show up and they're ready. She explains the situation in detail. They're still a little loose - wash and if they're still loose we can take them in more. So you're asking why the great review? She communicated! I didn't show up and told - oh they're not ready come back... she did a great job on the pants and will alter them again if needed. To me that says she is willing to go above and beyond to make customers happy. It's not what happens, it's how do you fix it. read more

I set up wedding dress service months in advance. she triple booked fitting time so her ability to focus on fitting was sloppy and anxiety provoking. By appointment only. She is very friendly until she's not. When I requested a "work guararentee as she requites FULL payment prior to the work on a $4000 dress, she refused to say, " I guarantee my work. Instead she said, "you can take it somewhere else ". I chose to AMEX it instead of cash (to protect myself) anyway, next day, she texted me - "you threatened me and so I can't do your dress. I tried to reason with her but she said she can't because she doesn't have to guarantee her work. I have 1 month to my wedding. She was smug and righteous. all because I wanted her to tell me "don't worry, I wont treat your dress like I just treated your fitting". BE CAREFUL. When a retailer service provider feels that requests for a guarantee for not damaging your property is a threa... instead of understanding business practices and legal liability. Yes- if you ruin the dress- you pay for it. I have never sued anyone in my life. business experience- people guarantee their work. What threat? read more

Amazing amazing tailor! I brought my wedding dress here, and she did an incredible job in just a few short weeks, with a completely reasonable fee. The train on the dress is long, and she did a great, easy bustle. I will be bringing any clothes I need done here! read more

Very friendly and professional owner. The work has always been great and completed when promised. Highly recommend.

Yevgenia is so incredibly talented! She paid close attention to the detail on my gown and her work was seamless. LITERALLY! You could not tell where she did any adjustments because it looked like the gown was made specifically for my body. My dress was made with custom lace and beading so I was worried about losing the quality that I had paid for, but she did nothing but make adjustments that displayed the customizations. When it came time for my 15 year vow renewal, my gown was nothing less of perfection and my husband cried when he saw me walking down the aisle. I cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience here, and I will continue to come for all of my alteration needs. THANK YOU SO MUCH YEVGENIA! You are amazing! read more

Yevgeniya was absolutely amazing with my hem, straps and bustle for my wedding dress. She was brilliant with her execution and she is extremely talented. I recommend her skills with my wedding dress and any other type of dress. read more

Yevgeniya and her sister are just amazing seamstresses. Yevgeniya is so friendly and makes you feel very comfortable in asking for what you want in whatever you take her. I needed a bride dress altered and you can imagine with how intricate and layered the typical bride dress is I was nervous to hand it off to anyone. S&F however really know what they're doing and you can trust you'll get the turnover your looking for. They did a hem of 5 layers, a bustle, tapered my sleeves, and added boning to the sides of my dress to have it maintain its shape. It's a mermaid/ trumpet style bride dress by the way. Parking here is easily found, she has a changing area and a giant wall mirror for you to see how your item fits you. For a wedding dress or something similar I'd say to bring the undergarments and shoes for the most accurate measurements. I'd say to call to make an appointment. Every time I called I was able to be seen that same day. I highly recommend coming here if you're on the west side or even if you're at least near uptown or old town because it's not a far drive. I will definitely be taking in other items like jeans and coats that don't fit right in the future. read more

We are from out of town and needed a tailor with a quick turnaround. S&F was able to get our item done in 24 hours. Great response time, quality work and friendly. We definitely recommend S&F for your alterations! read more

Best seamstress on the Westside!! Super friendly and makes you feel like part of the family!! She is super open to any additional features you want to add/remove to the item you bring in. I have stopped by only twice but I know I will be a forever customer of hers. Her shop is tucked away in the back but there is plenty of parking space and when you walk in it's open to see all the projects she has in the works, sewing machines, etc. She does also have a changing area in the corner so you can try on the item for alterations as well as a small stage on the opposite corner with a mirror so you can see yourself and can discuss the alterations of the item your brought in. First item I dropped off was a jumpsuit for a wedding I was attending two or so weeks afterwards. I just walked in with no appointment. I needed it to be altered because it was too long for me (I'm pretty short) and also wanted to add pockets. She made the pockets seem like that was such a easy request I was thrilled! When I picked up the jumpsuit it was perfect! I tried it on before I left and the pockets matched so perfectly and the length was perfect as well!! She even took the time to find fabric that would match the outfit. My second item I just brought today and it was a pair of casual pants. Of course I wanted pockets on it and as soon as I walked in she remembered who I was and even joked about my love for having pockets. We ended up chatting for about 10-15 mins after the transaction was done which literally only took max 2 mins but it was just such a friendly and casual conversation you get enveloped in with both of the ladies working there!! I recommend making an appointment beforehand if you can and make sure if your altering an outfit to bring the shoes to match so she can also get an envisionment of what you want out of the outfit!! read more

There is no better place in town to go for your sewing and alterations needs. The owner is kind, hard working and very talented. She does exceptional work and cares about every customer. Additionally, her process are more than fair for the quality of work she does. I can not recommend this place more! read more

S & F did absolutely amazing job with my alteration needs! I have had three dresses altered (engagement dress, bridesmaid dress, and my wedding dress) and all three of them were wonderfully altered. I'm 5'3'', and usually need dresses altered and can be discouraged by how clothes fit. However, all three of the dresses I had altered here fit very well afterwards! My wedding dress needed a lot of alterations to fit, and I was so happy with how it turned out. I appreciate the attention to detail and precision that was considered for my wedding dress. Highly highly recommend! read more

Great place to get your alterations done! The seamstress is very friendly and she listens to what you have to say about the pieces you need to get done. The finished work was great as well- I tried them on and they fit very well. She even followed up to make sure that the fit was good. If you need a place to get your clothes altered, this is definitely the place, hands down. :) read more
