I lost a ton of weight this past year and none of my clothes fit. I went to Suzy for alterations on the cloths that were the newest. Suzy did a wonderful job. The fit was perfect on all but one pair of pants that I left behind for her to redo. It was her busy time of year with JUNE WEDDINGS & PROM but she had them done in a weeK. read more

I messaged about a couch cushion and they told me to wait until end of February to come in - which I did. When I arrived today they said they wouldn't do it because it wasn't a jacket zipper and they couldn't manage it until the fall because they wanted to do wedding dresses which I assume is more money for them. If they had told me up front they weren't interested - I would have found somewhere else weeks ago and not driven thirty mins to come here. Do not recommend. read more

Sewing by Suzy is a local business run by two sisters, and they did a wonderful job in my bridesmaid dress. I'm a plus size woman, and they altered the dress wonderfully to suit my body type! Pricing was very reasonable for the overall quality of work I got, with turn around about 1.5-2 weeks during HIGH wedding season. I will DEFINITELY be coming back again!!! Bonus points they have an absolutely lovely senior English springer who keeps them company read more

As someone who has visited many tailors, Sewing by Suzy is the best! If you spend good money on your clothes then you need a good tailor to match that. They have fixed my parka, pants, banquet dresses, and a bridesmaids dress. I will not go anywhere else. read more

Sewing by Suzy did an amazing job altering a bridesmaid dress for me. Not only is the result perfect, it was completed a full week ahead of schedule! Thank you so much for the wonderful job and the quick turnaround. I cannot recommend Suzy enough. Good prices and wonderful customer service as well. A friend recommended this business and I am so thankful they did. read more

Great job. Brought dress on a Wednesday and done on Friday instead of the following week of Tuesday.

I had the best experience at Sewing by Suzy! This was recommended through a Facebook group I was a part of and was so happy to have found this place. Suzy is very responsive to messages! She's very kind, but most importantly she is very flexible! She let me come in whenever I could make it work (within her hours of operation obviously), and was so accommodating. It's a bit out of the way for me, living in South Milwaukee, but not so much that it was a nuisance. I didn't mind making the drive for great work. And great work it was! I came in to get a wedding dress altered. She was very knowledgeable about what needed fixing and listened to what I wanted done. I only gave her a months notice and she was able to accommodate that. The alterations were crazy pricey but I luckily had budgeted for it, so it wasn't a big deal. My dress ended up looking amazing on me! And my dress was all black, so it was a tricky alteration! I will definitely be seeking out Suzy from here on out for any alterations that I need in the future. read more

Such a nice place. They did a wonderful job and the prices are great. Suzy and her colleagues are friendly and accommodating. Got my bridesmaids dress altered in plenty of time for the wedding. It is on the south side of Oak Creek, but recommend making the trip even if you live in Milwaukee like me. Happy to support this family business, Suzy runs this business with her sister! read more

Prompt reply to my inquiry. Very affordable and quick turnaround. Will definitely use Sewing by Suzy again!

Had two formal dresses altered. All work was done well and completed on time. Great experience!

Always get great service here. Friendly, reliable, and great communication. I stopped in on short notice with a tight timeline, during prom season, they not only squeezed me in but completed my alterations earlier than promised. I love that they text you when your alterations are ready for pickup. read more

I took my bridesmaid dress in to get altered, with less than an month left until the wedding. They did an amazing job with the alterations and they had my dress ready 5 days earlier than the date that I was given. read more

Best tailor on the south end of the metropolitan area. The location so far east and the slightly high prices are the reason for only four stars. The quality of work and turn around time are excellent. It is a little hard to compare prices, there aren't any mid quality mid price tailors or alteration services I've found in the Milwaukee area. There's overpriced mediocre, and overpriced excellent, so I guess I'm stuck with the overpriced excellent tailor here. Ample convenient parking. read more

Quick service, good prices, and they do an amazing job. An extra bonus is a dog comes around every so often and he/she is so sweet.

My Mother of the Groom dress was completed 2 weeks ahead of schedule. From start to finish, I was impressed with suggestions, quality of work and price as dress had lace and beading. I will use Suzy's every time moving forward! read more

I had a bridesmaids that needed to be altered 2 weeks before the event. Sewing by Suzy did an excellent job and even fishes a week soon then promised. They made great alterations in a week! read more

I went there to have a dress altered. I felt the lady who was pinning my dress was rude. For a $75 dress she wanted over $500 to alter it. She made me feel very intimidated. I will not go back there nor refer them to any one I know. read more

I don't get my clothes altered often but I had a formal wedding to go to at the end of the month and needed a dress touched up. I did a Yelp request and Sewing by suzy responded same day. I was able to bring my dress in right away even though they were busy with prom season. I needed some length taken off my dress and they did a beautiful job! Fits perfectly! They also got it done way faster than I expected which was helpful for me. Definitely will be using them anytime I need something altered! Highly recommend!! read more

I had a great experience with Sewing By Suzy! I had a bridesmaid dress done for a wedding and it was done with in the week!

I can't say enough good things about Suzy! She's altered multiple bridesmaids dresses for me and will be altering my wedding dress this winter/spring. I referred a friend looking for someone to do alterations for her wedding gown and she thanked me up and down. Suzy and her sister work fast and at affordable prices. They are super nice and always willing to work with you. 5 stars and two thumbs way up! read more

I am pretty picky when it comes to getting alterations done, I grew up in a sewing family. They always get the job done: Quality, Turn Around, Pricing, Friendly, etc. I have never had to worry or second guess if the alterations were done correctly. If they tell me to pick up on Saturday, I know it is going to be done on/by Saturday. read more

Awesome service! I needed to have two dresses hemmed/shortened. One was a bridesmaid dress and the other was a casual shirt dress. Suzy had the dresses done in a week and the price was right! Only $42 for both! She also has a fitting/changing room so she can see the dress on you and use her judgement to pin the dress to the right length. I will definitely return for my tailoring needs! read more

GREAT work, reasonable prices. I am very impressed with this place. Suzy literally saved two very expensive coats which I thought were ready for the Goodwill bin - the areas she fixed look brand new now. BRAVO!! read more

Awesome find! I had a few items that needed altering - a pair of pants that needed shortening, a skirt that needed to be taken in, and a hood that needed a new faux fur trim. No problem! Suzy took a week to fix them all, and I only paid $50 for the service. In addition, she was super friendly. Thumbs up to Suzy! read more

Suzy is great! She got me in right away and had my dress ready in 24 hours. Only reason I didn't give 5 stars was the cups that were sewed in and the top part of my dress wasn't tight against my chest. Maybe she could have fixed it if she had more time. But the rest of the dress fit great. read more

I go there because I can not find another seamstress/tailor in the oak creek/SM/Franklin/Racine area. They are ridiculously expensive.

Great. Had to have a dress altered for my sisters wedding. They had it done in two weeks. Cost was the same as anywhere else. Other places couldn't have done the turn around that fast. read more

I love this place. The staff is always friendly and does a great job. I needed someone to sew my daughter's awards to her Letterman jacket. They quoted a week and it was done within two days. They also altered my daughter's prom dress and it was wonderful. Try them out!! read more

Tremendous service and absolutely wonderful alterations to 2 suit coats that I brought here the other week. Prices were very reasonable for the high quality work. This was my first time coming here but it certainly won't be the last. Great find in the Oak Creek area read more

I needed my bridesmaid dress shortened within a week and she was able to work with me. I had read reviews of other tailors in my area being rude or weird, so I was relieved that the entire transaction was quick and pleasant. read more

Dropped off some Athletic pants to be tapered and hemmed did such a great job anyone would think they came this way from the factory

I had a dress made for me by a boutique and they did it in the wrong size. Then the boutique went out of business. I thought the dress was not going to be fixable, because it was heavily beaded after it had been sewn and it had unusual sleeves that were too big. But I brought it in to Sewing by Suzy and they did an AMAZING job! I am speechless. It is the dress I am wearing to my son's wedding. I can't even say how pleased I am with the work they do! It is fantastic! I also had my mother of the bride dress hemmed here and it was perfect! read more

I've been going to Suzy for two years now. She has altered a bridesmaid dress, saved my favorite jacket that I put a massive tear in and shortened several pairs of pants (the joys of being 5'2"!). Suzy is always super friendly and her work is incredible. Her rates are fantastic as well and she always works with you to get it done in a timely fashion. read more

I took my daughters 1st communion dress (which had been on back order for almost a month) in two weeks before her big day. I was so grateful for them getting it back to me by the next weekend. The dress was way too big but they did a great job sizing it down. It looked and fit great. I can't thank them enough! I will not go anywhere else in the future. read more

Lyssa Verne Frechette Sewing by Suzy-Suzy is the most talented seamstress in SE Wisconsin. I have brought expensive, inexpensive, easy and complex things for her to do and it was a snap for her. I have found there is nothing she can't do-at least in my estimation. She is exceptionally talented, very kind and caring and goes the extra mile to make sure you are happy with the work she has done for you. If you don't believe me, go and see for yourself. The other ladies in her shop are very good as well. You just don't come across seamsestresses that are this good in your area. I feel so fortunate to have found her and someone that can do as complex work as I need done and with a smile. She takes extreme pride in her work which you will see. She is "THE Seamstress" of SE Wisconsin in my estimation. I believe a lot of big companies are noticing her work and I wouldn't be surprized if they are considering her for some of their work. Thanks Suzy!!! You Rock!!! read more
