She also hemmed multiple layers of lace, tulle, and beaded appliqué, and everything turned out beautifully. She put so much time and care into making sure the dress fit perfectly and looked exactly right. I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. I'll definitely be going back to her for any future alterations and would recommend her to anyone, especially brides! She also is very up front with the cost, and works within your budget!

I highly recommend them!

Best tailoring business in NWA! They are so polished, professional, and knowledgeable. They listen…read moreand give advice, and use tools to make sure they get it right. I could tell right away that I'd found the right place. And they are partnered with high end stores in town (Henry Ellis) which says a lot. I hope they partner with Barbara Jean in the future because their current tailor doesn't know what they're doing. They worked on shortening a skirt and raising the slit and it's perfect. They also tailored a white satin blazer perfectly on the sleeves, shoulders, and took it in at the back. Pants were still a little long but they are fixing them without any problem. I gave them a jacket to correct a bad tailoring job and I am confident that it will look outstanding. And a dress hem to raise as well. Their decor is so fun and inviting, and they get the work done in a great amount of time (I've only had to wait a week and at no extra charge. Most places around here take a month unless you pay a little extra). They also have starbursts and chocolate as an extra little treat. I've tried a couple tailors since I moved here (used to go to Lethal-Lure and stopped when they ruined a skirt and a men's shirt). This is the only place you need. It's worth the drive and they do a phenomenal job. I won't use anyone else in NWA.

The only reason I decided to give this business 3 stars is because the owner is very nice. Otherwise, I was unhappy with the results of my alterations. I had a bridesmaids dress that was about 2-3 sizes too small, and when I initially took in the dress to be altered, we agreed on taking one of the two inner liners out to widen the hip and to take the chiffon off the bottom of the dress to add panels to the sides. When I picked up the dress, I noticed that the panel was added to the back of the dress, and both liners were still intact and unaltered. While the dress does zip now, the seamstress altered the dress improperly and now there is a large wad of extra material near my lower back and the bust area is far too large. I took it to two more seamstresses since receiving it back from Y and Mai and both agreed that the alterations were botched. I understand that three weeks is a very short amount of time to alter a dress and I didn't expect the results to be perfect, but I at least expected accurate measurements and decent work. If one has a simple alteration (i.e., hem), I'm sure this tailor shop would be excellent. Prices are great and I'm sure they do great work. However, I'm just not sure if she was able to take on a project like my dress alterations and now I'm having to get it re-altered three days before the wedding.

I would NEVER recommend this place to anyone. I took in my daughter's very expensive Homecoming…read moregown. I provided my name, contact numbers, etc. and advised the owner of the date by which my daughter had to have the dress. Owner told me they would call me by Thursday so my daughter could come try on dress. No call. I also could not get an answer on their phone or leave a message. Their phone did not accept messages so I personally went down to their shop only to find a sign on the door saying the shop was closed that day. (It's normally open on Fridays or so their sign says.) Worse yet, their sign said it would NOT BE OPEN UNTIL THE FOLLOWING TUESDAY----days AFTER the gown was required. No emergency contact number was provided even though they KNEW the deadline on this gown. I finally called the city's business licensing department and managed to obtain from them the store owner's emergency number. Turned out, as the ticket on the dress noted: "We lost his (sic) contact number." The owner did not express any apologies for their disastrous mistake. The "quality" of the alterations was HORRIFIC. The hem was uneven, beads were missing from the top portion of the dress (they were intact when taken in!) and she GOUGED me on the price. She charged me 2.5 times the quoted price of "$60.00 and maybe as high as $100." Bill for a shoddily altered $600 dress was $158.00. Do NOT even think about using them.
