Super expensive!!! They wanted to charge me $200 to alter a pair of pants and a dress. Both items weren't that much combined when I bought them. Not sure about quality of their work. read more

Shanghai Alterations has saved us more than once with their incredible service and kindness. The first time, they quickly hemmed and steamed pants for a wedding, and most recently, they came through for us again when my husband needed pants hemmed fast for my father's funeral. Their understanding and compassion during such a difficult time meant so much. I will never forget their kindness. We've used their services multiple times, and the quality is always perfect. They are kind, hardworking, and truly care about their customers. Their pricing is very fair, and their turnaround time is impressive. I can't recommend them enough. So grateful for their help when we needed it most! I miss you Dad. read more

Shanghai Alterations saved the day when another alteration shop absolutely botched my bridesmaids dress the day before the wedding weekend. They were kind enough to take my dress and stay late to fix it overnight. They were kind, generous, professional, and did a wonderful job with the dress. I can't recommend this business enough! read more

They expertly repaired an heirloom bedspread and tailored my new suit pants to fit perfectly. Everything was delivered at the time promised. A Great Business. read more

Excellent service - they know their trade. Gave my pants for alteration and they did a great job.

I had a very delicate handmade quilt that my children had made for their grandpa 30 years ago. I trusted it into these capable hands & was not disappointed. read more

I bought some jeans on a great sale and wanted to take them with me on a vacation. Unfortunately, they needed to be hemmed, and I was leaving in two days. I'm newer to the area and had no idea where to take them that could turn them around that fast. I work near Shanghai Alterations and found them on yelp. I called to see if they could take care of them that quickly and she said no problem, I could bring them over at lunch. She had them done that SAME DAY and didn't even charge a rush fee. They did a great job, were super friendly, affordable -- what more could you ask for? The owner seemed to be friends with every customer that came in. This will definitely be my go-to alterations place from now on. read more

Very pleased with workmanship and price. They hemmed a two layer chiffon dress for me.

Great find. Moved to the East Cobb area a few years back from many years in Miami. Had to go through the chore of finding all new service providers. Found Shanghai on the drive to work in Sandy Springs. Tried them out. So happy I did. Have had them hem dresses, pants, skirts, adjust armholes and take in pants. Great service, reasonable prices, friendly staff and quality work. Payment is after services are rendered. I highly recommend them. read more

See all

I got my suit jacket tailored here. They did an expert job! I got it back and was very impressed with the beautiful craftsmanship and seamless, invisible work. The service was excellent as well. I felt they paid a lot of attention to pinning, fit, and style on my body type before going through with the work. They are a local business that has been in operation for 30 years in Sandy Springs. Prices aren't cheap, however, and are more expensive than other tailors. With the clothes that are being made these days, it might cost you $40 to alter a $20 dress. However, it's worth it for the quality work. read more

Got the same thing done at Nordstrom's in their What Shanghai wanted to charge $240 to do Nordstrom charged $52. No comment on their alterations because I ran when I saw the price. read more

Shanghai Alterations exceeded all of my expectations today! I took in my son's school pants to them last week for major adjustments, because I thought I couldn't order his true size from the school. I went ahead and left 5 pair of pants for alterations. On the day of pick-up, I called the school and realized my error. So, I quickly called Shanghai and asked if they had started my order. Surprisingly, they had not. I was able to cancel the order! I am grateful for their honesty! Today, when I went to pick up the pants, I received a smile when I walked in. Great customer service! read more

The pricing for this store is just too high. I took a $14 pair of flowy pants to get altered and they were going to charge me $39 to get them taken in at the waist. I went to another place one minute down the road and they could do it a different way for only $10! Emily was so nice and kind but I am so thankful the other place showed me a cheaper way to take my pants in. read more

The Best In Town I have been going to Emily for all of my alterations since I can remember - so almost 30 years. She is reliable, friendly, and does an impeccable job. Her eye for detail is beyond and she gives great advice when you are not quite sure what to do with a piece, especially unique pieces. I always trust her opinion, even when she says I should do nothing. I could not say more great things about Shanghai. read more

Do not go here if you car about your clothes! I brought in a 2000 dollar suit to have altered and honestly it looked like a 5yr old stitched it up. My jacket was taken too far in and pants too short. So guess what? I can't return the items and Emily the owner refused to give me my money back. She argued with me saying how that's the way the suit fits me and it's not their fault. To add insult to injury she and her staff cursed me out in Chinese. Bad for her that I studied Chinese and understood everything. I should've ran when I saw an earlier customer arguing with them when I went there the first time to get measured. Trust me go anywhere else and you will be much better off read more

I had less than a week to get a wedding dress and have it altered, and the staff at Shanghai took care of all my required alterations within four days! They were even closing that week for vacation and managed to complete my dress on time. The dress fit great, and I'm so grateful for their expertise and kindness! read more

Don't waste your time here. Astronomical on prices. $15 to hem my two year old's tiny pants? No thanks - that would be the amount I paid for the pants. What in the world are these folks thinking? Crazy! read more

This has been my go to tailor for 30 years. I would never take my things anywhere else. They are the most honest people I've ever met. There is very little they can't do, re weaving, repairing and altering almost anything. Love these people. My children have grown up with them! You'll have to look near & far to find workmanship this good... read more

I wouldn't go anywhere else -- they do amazing work. They are honest about what needs to be done to make it fit right for you (best length, where to tuck in, where to let out) and about whether it is worth it to have it altered in the first place. They did my wedding dress alterations (and actually made my friend's wedding dress which was AMAZING out of peices of her mom's wedding dress -- so cool), hem all my jeans (they look flawless), and when I had them replace the worn out satin lining of my winter wool/cashmere overcoat, they even resewed the brand label back in -- it looked brand new! You can pay less, but I wouldn't trust the clothes I love to anywhere else. read more

I am have been a customer of Shanghai Alterations for well over 20 years. This is one of those wonderful little gems in Atlanta that make our city so special. I truly adore Emily and they entire amazing staff. They are truly the only place in town that I would bring with my new high end clothing purchases. They will be upfront, kind and honest with you about your choices and alter them appropriately and with good taste and judgement. They are also great for specialty work like embroidery. We are fortunate to have this quality tailor. read more

My husband recommended this place for alterations and I couldn't be more pleased! I needed some alterations to a bridesmaids dress and they did a great job. The dress looked wonderful! read more

They are the best. I take all my new suits there and even jeans. Everything comes out fitting great.

I just dropped my dress off to have the straps altered. The staff was lovely, approachable, and personable, and the measuring process was efficient. I'm going to pick up my dress by Friday so that I can take it on vacation with me on Saturday! read more

This place is a joke. Terrible work that was poorly done and not what agreed on. Absolute worst customer service. REFUSAL to make it right. Can't believe we trusted them to do work that they completely failed to do. Please don't make the same mistake we did! I wouldn't recommend this place to sew up a hole in a gym sock, much less something I cared about. read more

Sandy Springs location with Buckhead pricing. The owner sells homemade earrings for $37+, if that gives you an idea of how their pricing goes. I took in pants to have the waist lowered, & was quoted $76 for the alteration. I was told the pants would be ready at 3PM yesterday. When I arrived for pick-up, I was told they were not done yet. No call or other notification to inform me before I made an unnecessary trip out. With the obscene pricing & no common courtesy of notifying me when there was a change in their timeframe, I will not be going back. read more

I drive half an hour each way to go to Shanghai Alterations -- they do amazing work, are nice people, and I think their prices are very reasonable for what they do. I've had them do everything from simple hems on jeans to extensive alterations for bridesmaids' dresses for my daughters, and they've done excellent quality work on every job. I am pretty good at sewing and alterations myself, and don't bother doing it anymore, because they are better than I am and worth the time/money tradeoff. read more

They did a great job with my sport coat but it came at a high price. $130 to take in the sleeves an inch and a half and a couple inches in the waist. I doubt I'll return due to the pricing. read more
