    Bridesmaids dress tailored perfectly!
    Fiona H.

    Sage saves the day again!!! I was hours from my bridal shower and my cleaners messed up my dress. Due to time constraints I didn't think I would be able to get the dress cleaned and then bring to Sage to alter. I called her crying and panicking while getting my hair done and she reassured me she could help. I sent pictures of the dress as well as how much I wanted altered and taken off. My friend then drove the dress (while I was still in my hair appointment) to Sage to alter the hem. She did a perfect job! Literally saving me in a crisis. I would never go anywhere else for alterations and could not recommend her more. She goes above and beyond for all her clients and her work is pristine. I love you Sage! See you soon with my many additional Bridal outfits that need all your help and love. You are the BEST.

    Sage and Charlotte absolutely saved the day when it came to an unfinished alterations job on my wedding dress, and on very short notice at that! I had a pretty bad experience with another alterations shop and called Sophos to see what could be done on my very tight timeline (1 week) to get my dress taken in since the other shop didn't get it done when they said they would. I was really upset at the situation but Charlotte was super reassuring on the phone and even pulled up the dress online to get a better feel for the work that needed to be done on it. She made me an appointment for that week, so I came in, got pinned, and the dress was ready when they said it would be ready the following week. Both Sage and Charlotte are calm, nice people who clearly know what they are doing when it comes to their craft! I felt absolutely beautiful in the dress as they made it look exactly how it needed to look, and their pricing was very reasonable, even including an extra fee for a rush job. Also, the shop itself is adorable and clean and they have a really large fitting room as well. Definitely check this place out next time you're in need of alterations! Thank you Sophos!!

    Very happy I found this upholstery shop in the neighborhood. My dining chairs were splitting at the seams and I brought them in for repair. After discussing the options, I decided to reupholster the chairs to avoid the seam splitting issue. Sophos had several fabric options available including vinyl and leather and a good selection of colors. We ended up going with dark blue leather and they look great. I know that they will last longer now.

    Boning bowing because it was so tight

    I'll say I'm relatively happy with my wedding dress alterations at Sophos. The cons; my dress was too tight, too long, and the appointments were spaced out quite a lot. They ended up needing to replace my zipper because I guess the one on the dress was "cheap". But they also took it in about an inch so they didn't take into account the allowance for the new zipper making the dress extremely tight on my back. It was so tight after I had it on for 10 minutes during my fitting I had red lines on my back. So on my wedding day it was pretty uncomfortable and was miserable to sit and eat dinner in. There was boning on the inside and because the dress was about an inch too small now the boning was bending all crazy because I was stuffed in there. The dress hem was also too long which I mentioned I'd be in grass the whole time so I wanted it shorter, and they altered it twice and I was still tripping over it. I started the alterations process in May which was 4 months before my wedding. In total I had 3 appointments; the 1st, the second 2 months later, the 3rd 2 months after that and picked up only 1 week before my wedding. It felt pretty rushed I would've liked to not have them so spread out so I could've actually taken the time to see how I liked things instead of freaking out I was a week away from my wedding. The last thing I'll say is it's an old building and they're doing a lot of sewing, so there is dust on the floor. This would be totally fine if you're not trying a long white dress on, a nice sweeping before appointments would've made me feel a lot better. Especially because I didn't have time to get my dress dry cleaned before the wedding as I only had a week before the date. Prices were a little more than I thought, wasn't expecting a zipper replacement on a new dress though.

    Sophos saved my wedding! After a disaster destroyed my first dress Sophos altered my replacement wedding dress in less than a week and it was beautiful. I truly couldn't be more grateful for this place and for Sage, who is so incredibly kind and talented.

    I had a zipper replaced on a jacket that was kind of a difficult job. They did great work at a reasonable price. Plus, they're very nice!

The dress fit perfectly afterward and they completed it within a week, earlier than the pickup date I had asked for. The main issue for me was the organization during pickup. I received a text saying my dress was ready, but when I arrived they brought out a completely different piece of clothing even after I clearly described my dress. Turns out they had mixed up the name tags between my dress and someone else's. I ended up going to the back with them and immediately spotted my dress myself. I pointed it out and they asked if I was sure it was mine, which was a little strange. Then they asked me to try it on. At first I thought they just wanted to confirm the alterations looked right, but it turned out they wanted to see if it fit me to determine whether it was actually my dress. Thankfully it fit like a glove. Even after that, they still seemed unsure so I showed Yelp messages I had previously sent with photos of the dress, along with my receipt and even how much I paid. I usually throw receipts away, so thank goodness I still had it. After confirming in multiple different ways, they finally let me take my dress home. Another woman was also there picking up clothing after receiving a text notification and they were struggling to locate her item too, so it didn't seem like an isolated issue. Overall, I think the tailoring work itself is solid, but the shop felt pretty disorganized. The guy working there did apologize before I left, which I appreciated, but the whole process of having to repeatedly prove the dress was mine was definitely frustrating.

When I finally found "the one" it was at the absolute top of my budget and still needed number of alterations to make it my dream dress. Ling story short I was able to find the dress for much less than at the store but between the original size of the gown and losing more weight for the wedding than I originally planned, I ended up with a dress that was easily 4 sizes too big and still needed work to to change some of the dress to the ideal state. Linda made it all happen!!! From making it fit like a dream to lining it just the way I asked to bustling it and my veil to perfection, she did it ALL. My gown was PERFECT and I wouldn't have changed a single thing- all because Linda is a magician!!! She is also kind, thoughtful, flexible and detail oriented. I couldn't recommend Linda more for anyone looking for alterations. THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART FOR MAKING MY DREAM DRESS A REALITY!!!!

The guy kept repeating how he couldn't trust what I was saying like it was a he said/she said between me and the actual company doing the cleaning. 1) Your business is the front facing establishment I am doing business with - this is your responsibility. 2) he sent it back for free, which I was fine with - why the attitude? He made me mad, but it was unnecessary given we had a next step. When I went back to get it, it was almost all out, and he said he would send it back again, but again, it was the attitude. "This is the last time I will send it back for free" like it was my fault it happened - and at that point I'd already made up my mind I wasn't coming back regardless because of how he treats his customers. My husband went to pick up the shirt (it was his) and it was actually all out, but they started telling him how the stain wasn't pointed out the first time and he said that's because it wasn't there when it was brought here. They argued with him saying it was red sauce (no, it wasn't) and then another guy from the back came out swearing at him telling him he was a scam artist. We had arrived at a pretty easy solution, but they upped the tension each time to really piss us off with their attitude. Just be more customer focused!!
