    I ordered dresses online but they were toooo long (my short people can relate ) -- I happened to stumble upon Tammy's Sewing Sistahs as I was scrolling through the list of businesses that offer tailoring services. I live out on the west side so Tammy was the closest to me. I put out a "Project" inquiry which was sent out to Tammy and a few other businesses as well, and Tammy was the first to respond! We set an appointment and the rest was history. Tammy was very personable and listened to my needs. Very knowledgeable about tailoring and you can tell that, business aside, she genuinely loves doing this. I appreciate her professionalism and patience with me. Her turnaround time was quick, but I'm sure that depends on what services you need. Pricing was reasonable, I definitely feel like if I had gone somewhere in town I would've paid way more. As you can see in the before/after photos she did a PHENOMENAL job! The green dress was just a tadddd bit long for my liking so she hemmed it to the perfect length, same with the brown dress! And for the brown dress, I asked her if she could turn the leftover fabric into a scarf and, just like magic, she did!!! THANK YOU, TAMMY!

    Song contest Muumuu

    Tammy is fantastic!! She responded to my initial inquiry very quickly. She was super accommodating in scheduling a time to meet. My daughter's dress for song contest needed to be hemmed, as well as brought in for more a tailored fit. Tammy was very informative on the process needed in order to achieve the results I was looking for. She kept in touch with me during the whole process & completed it way ahead of my requested date. She is the absolute sweetest!! For the work that needed to be done & the time it would take, I felt her quote was very fair & reasonable. In the long run, she gave us a discount on what was quoted!! I will definitely seek her help again in the future if needed!! Huge mahalo Tammy!!

    she hemmed the dress perfectly so that I could dance comfortably and show off my shoes!

    I messaged a lot of different alterations places on island and Tammy responded same day and was able to do my last minute alteration to hem my dress at the last minute for a great price! The dress came out perfect and she was careful with the delicate fabric. I would definitely use her again if I need to :) hopefully next time will be less last minute as she is super busy!

    Tammy was fantastic. My daughter spent a long time looking for her dream prom dress. We finally found it but it was several sizes too big. Tamm basically took the entire dress apart and remade it. It is beautiful!

    Broken sleeve sewing.
    Katy P.

    I bought a Dri-FIT shirt from a reputable shop, but after one wash the sewing on the sleeve came out. I really love the shirt, but the shop was sold out. So I decided to look for a seamstress to help me fix the problem. I used my trusty Yelp app and I found Sewing Sistahs. I message them on my Yelp to see if they would be able to help me. I was contacted quickly and was told "Yes I can help" Sewing Sistahs is located in Aiea in a beautiful community. I was given an appointment and perfect instructions on how to find them. I was told to watch for the flowers on the mailbox. I arrived and met Tammy. She was very kind and courteous. She looked at my shirt and said "I can fix this while you wait" Tammy was able to match the thread perfectly and now it looks like brand new. The thing I really appreciated was Tammy's ALOHA..... She talked to me while she worked and was just so gracious and a truly genuine person. It's really hard to find genuine people and I am so glad I met Tammy. I will definitely be back because she did an amazing job, her prices are affordable and you can tell that she really loves sewing from her heart Thank you Tammy for a great experience and for fixing my broken sleeve. I will see you again soon

    Tammy's dress that she expanded and hemmed. So beautiful, chef's kiss
    May Jane T.

    Thank you Tammy for making my dress fit beautifully and comfortably. I wish I had a before picture and a good after picture, but this picture could barely zip up on me! She found a way to expand the dress without changing the style of the dress. I was able to dance, eat and walk comfortably. I felt like a princess in this dress! 5/5 would recommend!

I was told I owed $16 more. I asked for clarity on what I paid and what the difference is. Lisa then was very dismissive and said you know what it's good just go. It's taken care of. Mind you there was a line of people in the store to witness this. I felt so embarrassed and belittled. I've been frequenting this business for quite some time now because they're local and convenient. However, today's transaction truly impacted my decision on not to return. I'll be picking up my last item and taking my business elsewhere. Lisa, if you're having a bad day, I hope it gets better and I hope no other customers experience this kind of treatment from you Mahalo to Jason for personally calling me to apologize for this horrible experience. he mentioned that he spoke to Lisa in length about the importance of providing quality customer service in hopes of not repeating this in the future. Word of mouth travels fast, especially in an island community and can have severe impacts positive or negative. as I do have one piece left to pick up, I may consider patronizing them again in the future.

    5 VERY HIGH if not 6 stars!…read more Only because as a male, finding a reliable tailor who actually listens to your requests can be a never ending quest. A quest that frankly can be an expensive and anxious one by entrusting total strangers with literally cutting up your clothes. After Yelping and Googling high and low, I'm so glad to have found DJ. Nothing against those businesses that do alterations along with dry cleaning but I'm glad I've found an experienced TAILOR who truly takes pride in their work! DJ himself was a very professional tailor throughout my whole experience. Immediately from responding to my questions, appointment requests, all the way to the very end leaving me with professionally fitted clothes! During fitting, DJ was very professional by taking his time with measurements, throwing in bits of recommendations while still encouraging your requests. Unlike past experiences I've had with alteration shops where they have you raise an arm and leg or two then send you out the door faster than you came in (how comforting yes?). I had a few high end aloha shirts and pants tailored. I initially intended on just having 1 shirt done then going from there but DJ's attention to detail gave me the peace of mind that I could entrust everything with him. So happy to say, I've found a personal tailor I can go to for all my fitting needs!

I was trying to find someone close to me and saw this place was literally a mile away, he took me in the same day I called and hemmed all three of my pants for me, he actually had it done a day early and said I could come pick them up. DJ is very professional and kind and he holds a lot of knowledge when he speaks about sewing and clothing, the hems on my pants were done so well and professionally I am very happy with my experience and the prices are extremely reasonable. Please go this business if you need any type of alterations done.
