    I went to Sarah's to get my suit altered. I was in a wedding and being a man. I waited until the last minute. I called Sarah up. She was very friendly and said that she could get it done by the weekend if I took it to her that same day I live in ROUND ROCK. She's in North Austin. I put the directions in and it took me right to her. Her shop is in a multilevel type shopping center, but on the first floor in the back I will post pictures to make it easier to find her shop. She's very nice and very accurate on her measurements to alter my suit. Her pricing is very reasonable and she did it quickly. When I went back to pick up my suit. It was Taylor perfectly just in time for the wedding. I was in. Well, I don't recommend waiting until the last minute. If that does happen, Sarah is a perfect shop to go to. I have some more slacks that are cuffed and need to be altered and I'm definitely taking them to her

    Sara ruined my cocktail dress even though she has rave reviews for work on complex wedding dresses. I had hoped she could be my go-to tailor, but now I'm afraid to bring anything else to her. Check my photos to see how different my dress ultimately turned out. I'm short and the skirt needed shortening. I brought it in on Feb 16 & told Sara I wasn't in a rush so she could take her time. She told me it would be ready by Mar 28 and she would call if done before. I never heard from her, so 1st week of April, I called to confirm the dresses were ready, and after that call, I get a text saying I could pick it up. On Apr 8, I went to pick up my dresses. When I tried this one on, my heart sank. There were SO many things wrong: 1. Sara had cut the skirt shorter but she didn't do anything to the lining. The underskirt was still hitting below my knee! 2. It's an asymmetrical dress, and she made it even more asymmetrical by cutting it crooked! The shortest point was above my left knee instead of being centered. 3. The two sides of the dress were noticeably different lengths. The left side reached just below my knee and the right side hit mid-calf. I wish I had a picture to show the poor workmanship but I was so shocked, I stumbled out of the changing room and Sara had started pinning things up before I could think to take a pic. But you can get an idea from my second photo. To her credit, Sara didn't argue about the poor job and immediately started brainstorming ways to fix it, and she was patient with me while I stared at the mirror trying to decide which I preferred. She fixed the issues with no additional charge; I had only paid the 50% deposit and she erased the remaining 50% despite needing to do more work. She told me to give her a week to make the fixes and she would call when ready. I didn't hear from her for 1.5 weeks so finally called on Apr 21 to check the status. She told me she would call me back and after 2 hrs, called to say it was ready for pickup. Overall, I've been really disappointed by the experience. My dress is wearable but completely different from what I wanted; instead of a dramatically asymmetrical dress, I have one that looks like it was cut slightly crooked. And even though I gave Sara way more time than busy brides normally give her, I'm not sure she actually did any work until I called each time after the deadline SHE gave me. She always seemed surprised and had to call me back later to say "Yes, you can come now." The only reason this review isn't 1 star is bc the two cheap maxi dresses I brought in at the same time turned out fine. Sara charged me $18 each to shorten the straight hem by a few inches. I know running a business is hard and would like to support her, but I genuinely don't feel confident bringing any more clothes to her in the future.

    Sara did a wonderful job on my wedding dress. She had a short turn around and my dress was perfect and ready on time!

They are not worth the money they charge. I had two suits ordered and it took me OVER A YEAR to finally get them close to fitting correctly. For the around $4500 I spent, I received two poorly fitting suits with details I had ordered, missed. Understand that Ross Bennett does not cut the suits. He takes measurements in his poorly lit office, writes down the details requested, and outsources the cutting. For my suits, the first round was so poorly cut they had to start from scratch. When they remade the suits... months later, he used the wrong measurements. Finally a year later, after I had to threaten court action, his third round of suits was at least wearable. But, the leg openings were still wrong and unbelievably the two jackets had different measurements, one fitting better than the other. Plus details like no belt loops and thread colors were wrong. Shows how disorganized they are without a proper method to record order details. I gave up and accepted I'll never get the two suits I expected. Instead received disappointing service and quality... and you may as well.

They assured me that they could make what I wanted. I wanted a very particular custom pair of pants, I brought in examples of what I wanted and they didn't even measure or examine them. I felt like they kind of blew my input off and proceeded to do what 'they' think I wanted or needed. There were actually several things about the pants that were wrong. I took them back twice to get fixed and altered but they were still not what I wanted. I was then made to feel like I was asking for too much. So yeah, now I have a $200 pair of pants that I don't wear. I suppose Knot Standard is fine if you want to be told what to wear. Maybe if I had spent more money they would have listened to me more? Based on my experience, I wouldn't spend another dollar with this company when there are so many other places to get clothes.
