Sara is FABULOUS. I commissioned her to alter clothing that was too big for me and wow - no one would ever be able to tell I didn't purchase them this way. These items included a bikini bottom! I wish I had before and after photos but just know that the change was drastic. I have so many items to bring to her now because she's fantastic. Sara is just warm and her voice and delivery just make you want to trust her with everything. I highly recommend her services!! Thank you Sara!! read more

I had a lot going on with wedding planning and a health issue which led to....Not trying on my dress with my shoes until 2 weeks before my wedding day like a CRAZY PERSON! The dress fit nearly perfectly initially when I tried it on but was 2-3 inches too long. I thought with my shoes it wouldn't be too big of a deal.. I was so wrong and I panicked. I asked my friends who they recommended and called those places..And was basically scoffed at or told it wasn't possible in the time frame I was giving them. Which I expected. Then I searched on Yelp and called Sara. She said she could do it! We set up a consult. She was SO KIND and never made me feel bad about being last minute about such an important part of my wedding. She even pinned a few areas that she wanted to take in so it would fit perfectly. I put my trust in her and I am ECSTATIC with her work. I went to pick it up 4 days before my wedding and it was perfect!! I will always call Sara when I need alterations and will recommend her to anyone that needs her services. Thank you so much for helping me feel beautiful in my dress on my wedding day, Sara!! read more

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

I had an Indian outfit that arrived a month before my wedding and unfortunately, it was made to fit an actual barbie doll. The top would not go past my shoulders, the skirt was long and the waist was incredibly small. Indian outfits can be incredibly difficult to alter because of the material and heavy embroidery, but Sara is an artist! She managed to make it fit like a glove and it doesn't look like it's been altered at all. My mom, the world's toughest critic, was even impressed. I'll never take my Indian outfits to any other tailor! read more

Amazing service and amazing alteration. She had my dress done in less than a month and it was beyond perfect. You could tell she has been doing this for awhile and is an expert in her field. I felt super comfortable leaving my dress in her hands. read more

I live in Manor and always find myself coming back here because she's awesome at what she does. Professional, competent and super nice.

Excellent communication and professional work. She is courteous and makes every effort to accommodate. I am so glad to find someone who actually cares about the work they are doing...I've had many, many bad experiences. Her prices are very fair, and she is honest. I would very much recommend her. Thankfully she is somewhat nearby; but I would travel farther to have her work on my things. read more

Sara is absolutely AMAZING! I cannot recommend her enough. She gave my wedding dress a gorgeous bustle, as well as created the most beautiful reception dress from my mom's wedding dress!!!!! Everything looked so stunning--I got so many compliments. ALSO, Sara saved my butt the week and a half before my wedding when one of my bridesmaid's dresses got lost in the mail. She took the size 14 bridesmaid dress I was able to purchase last minute and altered it into a size 4 in TWO DAYS. She made my stress decrease so much right before my wedding and the dress looked AMAZING. You couldn't tell it used to be 10 sizes bigger! I am so so grateful for Sara's services and would 100% recommend her for any tailoring/alterations--ESPECIALLY for anything wedding related! read more

Wow, Sara did an AMAZING job on my daughter's Prom dress. The dress needed to be altered in the bust area and it needed to be hemmed as well. There were 4 layers to this dress and each had to be hemmed. Sara is so sweet and professional. We will always go to her for our formal dress alterations. Thank you! read more

I feel like I must be going crazy since all of Sara's other reviews are fantastic. Sara is perfectly nice, but I had a tricky time with wedding dress alterations here. My dress took a couple extra sessions of iterations due to things that had been overlooked (like snags, visible stitches, and a crude bustle hooks) and was finished much closer to wedding day than I had hoped. After Sara was done, I ended up taking it to another place to get it pressed to try to hide some of the imperfections and exposed stitches. For the amount that I paid, I had hoped for more attention to detail and a better sense of urgency. read more

I can not recommend Sara Alterations enough! She tailored both my wedding & reception dresses, and did such an amazing job. My reception dress was a vintage dress I was set on wearing, however it was way too small, even after letting out the seams. Sara had creative and thoughtful ways of getting the dress to fit that ended up enhancing the dresses appeal! I really thought I was going to have to give up on it but Sara never lost faith and worked with my crazy schedule to get it done in time. She is passionate, thorough and thoughtful, and it was a pleasure to have her as a part of my wedding journey! read more

Sara is so sweet! I had her alter my wedding dress make it shorter and tighter. She did an amazing job she also sewed in pads as a bra for me for free. She was professional and made sure everything fit just nice. All together I think it was around $300 something which wasn't bad at all to have your dress fit like a glove on your big day!! read more

I waited maybe 2 weeks late to get my wedding dress altered. I needed it shortened, the slit closed by one inch and a bustle added. Sara was able to get everything done with plenty of time to spare! The work was wonderful and Sara was a breeze to work with. The bustle lasted all night and did not break. I was dancing and constantly moving so I put it to the test! I will definitely be taking any alterations I have to her in the future! read more

I came here to have my graduation dress fitted and Sara did an amazing job! The dress was too loose around my waist and it was a little too big in the chest area and she was able to make it fit perfectly!! I just went by again to get some scrubs fitted better and I know she will do an amazing job again! Highly recommend!! read more

1st time using this very talented lady...took a $$$ gold brocade dress that needed to be resized (lost weight) and she put a few pins in and I left. I picked it up this week and it fit PERFECTLY (how do you DO THAT?) and I couldn't tell where the original began and the alterations ended. VERY nice job...I will be back for sure. read more

I had a skirt I needs a different waist bad on and a pair of my husbands pants that had a hole in them. They came out just the way I wanted and fit perfectly. Highly recommend! read more

Sara was amazing! She was super quick and affordable and did a great job. Will use from now on!

I've been going to Sara for over a year now and she never disappoints ! I bring all kinds of clothes to her and she knows what she's doing. She gets them done with a quick turnaround time and good prices. I saw a previous review from a man saying she had a condescending attitude, but think that was just him cause I've always been nicely welcomed! Would highly recommend :) read more

I highly recommend this place. Although she wasn't able to get me in due to my super last minute impossible request lol- (my fault entirely) she was prompt getting back to me and so kind. I will definitely use her in the future for any of my alteration needs. If your looking for a business that is professional, prompt, makes you priority and does a great job- make this your alteration place. :) I won't be going anywhere else. read more

Our family went to Austin Comicon and my son's Spiderman costume was WAY too big. We dropped it off here to have it altered to fit him. They did a great job! They accommodated our short time frame and he was super happy! I definitely recommend this place!! read more

WOW! Where to start...I sought out Sara Tailoring and Alterations to make some modifications on my wedding dress. From the get go, Sara was as excited as I was for my Big Day! I told her what I was hoping to have done and my "final look" and she went above and beyond. She offered suggestions and what she thought was possible but always made me feel that it was what I wanted. I told her that I was hoping to add a vail, but didn't have one. Sure enough, she made one from scratch that complemented my dress so well! If your looking to for some help with either a wedding alteration or just a simple hem, I highly recommend Sara Tailoring! My husband had Sara make some minor adjustments to his suit. Once again she didn't fail! THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!! read more

I had two suits that I needed altered. She pinned them up for me and made the alterations perfectly in the time she specified. Her work was great! read more

Quick response from Yelp. Looking forward to finished work. Price for work was reasonable

I had to do a last minute alteration to my wedding dress, and Sara was wonderful throughout the whole process. She worked with my timing and everything went accordingly! I had to get the waist of my dress increased by half an inch, and it had a belt with rhinestones on it. There was a quarter of an inch on both sides of the invisible zipper which were missing rhinestones (because of the alteration), and she was kind enough to sew some rhinestones on the dress, to make the expansion less obvious. That was so incredibly kind of her! I loved how easy it was working with her and what a great job she's done! Thank you again, Sara! :) read more

My husband and I have gone to Sara for alterations for a few years now, and she comes very highly recommended by both of us. She is our go-to since moving to Austin!

She altered my wedding dress very last minute and it was PERFECT! It was a pretty complicated alteration of a very delicate dress and I can't emphasize how amazing it turned out. Would recommend to anyone! Very great price too! read more

Sara fit me into her schedule to see about my wedding dress alterations the same day I called. She was so sweet and helpful during the consultation and suggested a small alteration that made a huge difference to my dress. She was able to alter my dress within a few days and the results were perfection! Thankful for her helpfulness and alteration skills! read more

Sara is the kindest, most wonderful human being, and her work is extraordinary! She tailored all my clothing for my wedding, including two wedding dresses and my rehearsal dinner dress, and she went above and beyond to make everything perfect! She also did incredibly ornate stitch and design work on shawls for my bridal party that turned out beautifully. read more

I came to Sara Alterations after my wedding because I wanted to have my wedding dress remade into a new dress that I could wear for special occasions. I called a lot of alterations companies, and Sara was the only one that was willing to dye my dress. I worked with her for several months on this redesign, and she paid so much attention to detail--hand removing pieces of lace that I loved from the bottom of my dress and then re-placing them onto the new dress. She met with me many times to make sure the dress was just right, and then she dyed it to its new navy color. I could not have been happier with the job she did, and am so excited to be able to wear my wedding dress again in its new form. I can't recommend her company enough! read more

Sara is the most talented seamstress I've ever met! I was only in town for a short while and another seamstress completely messed up an investment pair of pants I had purchased. I brought them to Sara with zero time to spare. Not only did she fix them in a record breaking five hours (while also tending to other clients), but the pants are flawless! Sara is a perfectionist and it shows in her work, even with the most complicated requests. read more

Sara is so amazing! Her work is precise and professional. Very kind person as well. She has done a great amount of alterations for me and I have no complaints. Highly recommend her services! read more

Sara tailored my daughter's wedding dress. It was a challenging design but she did an amazing job. I highly recommend her I would definitely use her again read more

We've used Sara on multiple occasions for myself and both of my children. I feel so fortunate to have found her on the first try after moving here and didn't have to have a bad experience somewhere else first. First of all, she is a sweetheart. Her work is amazing and she's vert patient in dealing with multiple fittings and changes. I called her multiple times the day after a fitting because I wasn't sure about something we had decided on and she was always happy to have me come back in and try it on again. She is very professional and has great attention to detail. Her bridal work is absolutely beautiful! I bought my wedding dress used and it was too big. The skirt was not fitted on me the way it was supposed to be and the bust/torso lace portion of the dress was way too big on me as well. There was a lot of lace to deal with and she did a great job. Some of the buttons on the back were even missing and about to fall off and she fixed all of it and made it look perfect!!! read more

I had an issue with a pair of pants and there was a small, inconvenient hiccup when I came in to pick them up. Cynthia worked fastidiously, efficiently, and professionally to make certain the situation was rectified to my complete satisfaction. They take their work, your time, and their business reputation very seriously here. I have nothing but great things to say about their attitude and their quality work and I am admittedly a hard to please lady. This was my second time having something altered and I will continue to return and recommend this business. read more

Just absolutely wonderful! Sara was nice, professional and her work was very nice! She was very competent and her service efficient! This will be my "go-to" place for any and all of my future alteration needs. Thank you Sara! read more

So happy! I came in Monday evening, right before Sara closed, needing alterations for a dress done for my brothers wedding by Friday. She took her time, had me try on my dress and made sure everything was how I wanted it. I came in today (3 days later) to pickup my dress! I just tried it on and it looks PERFECT! Her work is flawless and she even sewed some padding into the front of the dress for me! I am very pleased with Sara's customer service, her work she does and how quick she works! read more
