Jamie is so kind! I ended up not needing alterations on a bridesmaids dress but I would come back if I ever need alterations again. The website is true- you do not need to book an appointment and can drop by the store. read more

Always use Jamie for items such as patches on caps, uniforms, etc Great work. Very reasonable!!! read more

I'm so happy I found Jamie. I traveled a distance just to have Mt work done by her. She us efficient and reasonable. If something isn't going to look right she let's you know up front. She's the best! read more

Jamie is so pleasant to work with. Her work is excellent. She won't pretend to do a job if she thinks something can't be done. Very honest. She keeps her prices at a very easy level. She does a quick and efficient turn around returning your finished garment . I am definitely a returning customer. It is very difficult to find someone like Jamie around. You won't be dissappointed read more

I had two suits altered there. I use to be in the custom uniform business. I have witnessed thousands of alterations. The suits did not fit well and work was mediocre. The hey came out a few weeks after being completed. Also when I went to pick them up. She wasn't going to be there and had me pick them up in the office next door. read more

I brought a bridesmaid dress here to be shortened (from full length to knee length). While it was inexpensive, it was not done straight and, in some spots, the lining was longer than the dress (see photos). Needless to say, inexpensive doesn't matter if I need to pay someone else to fix it. read more

After reading the positive reviews, I took a bridesmaids dress here for alterations (just needed shortening). The service was great and done in record time - I took it in on a Thursday and I think she had it done by Monday. Not needing an appointment is a plus... but twice I left work to bring in a dress, and was surprised to find the shop closed in the middle of a Tuesday (it was hard enough to find a time to get here during the limited business hours). I definitely suggest calling before you go to make sure it's open. read more

Not sure how to contact Jamie - we've been by three times during business hours to pick up and it's been closed. Phone rings and rings, no voicemail. No email...... read more

Shoddy work. I took two simple pieces to her to have changed on my army dress uniform; have some wrist braids switched (asked to do the same they were before, and make sure they were straight and not crooked), and to change out the band on a saucer-style cap. Both were horrible work. The wrist braids are wavy in appearance, and instead of stitching it within the detail of the braid, she took some thread and sewed it from within the braid to outside the edges and into the sleeve. It looks like it was done by hand (not machine) and I can get my fingers under parts of it! On the hat band, it wasn't done anything like the previous one and the material is already starting to separate. Again, done by hand, and looks completely unprofessional. I'm going to have to get all of this redone by an actual professional tailor, but I would rather do that than take it back to this hobby-like tailor for a second chance. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. Oh, and this place is cash/check only... read more

I brought my dress to get hemmed at the bottom and not only was it extremely expensive, when I went to pick it up the dress was very wrinkly. When I'm already paying way more that I should be, I expect it to be done correctly. read more

I took my daughters prom dress to be altered and I can't believe how horrible it turned out. The hem is completely crooked and the top netting overlay that was cut is so jagged it is noticeable from faraway. She also added this black netting to the underneath of the dress that we did not ask for and have no clue why it was done. I don't understand how she is still in business. read more

The website doesn't necessarily say but they do alter suits. I'm thin so I feel like almost all my suits feel like they make me look like Steve Harvey. Needed it brought in on the sides and pants hemmed. Did a great job and was very knowledgeable when it came to any question I asked. Also, she tailored some of my shirts as well, so now they fit me perfectly. The only downside is the place is kinda small and the hours are tough to work around. read more

I had two bridesmaid dress that needed to be altered in a fairly short period of time. Expecting it was going to be an arm and a leg for both dresses, I was shocked when it totaled $42!! AND it was done in less than a week! The work was impeccable and I would most certainly return with my tailoring again to this location. The hours are limited and that is the only downside but being open on Saturdays really helped me out. read more

I have taken mostly pants to Jaime and one bridesmaids dress and have had no issues. She's fairly quick, I just submitted 4 pairs of pants on Sat and she said she'll have it ready by Thursday. Yeah her hrs aren't always convenient but then the world doesn't revolve around me. I generally do call ahead if I'm stopping around lunch time. read more

Jamie is great and really inexpensive! My whole family goes. She's done dresses and women's suits for my mom. And a bunch of hemming pants for me. She also took in one of my blazers and it ended up looking great. Highly recommend! read more

Awful tailor. I took my bridesmaid dress to her store and needed it hemmed and fixed in the bust area b/c I was falling out of the dress. She told me it would be $84 dollars. I went back a week later and tried on the dress. The hem was fine but the back of the dress was now puckering in the straps and my bra straps were completely visible. I asked her if she could fix the straps and said it was not like this before. She sewed the front too high so it was pulling on the fabric in back contributing to the problem. She was visibly annoyed and instead of cutting the stitching that she had done in the front, she ripped it apart right in front of me putting a little hole in the front of the dress! She said she couldn't fix the back. Save yourself time and money and go up the street to Chestnut Hill to Sue's Custom Tailoring. I went there in tears after this fun experience and they were able to fix the dress so the straps were not pulling after Jamie said there was nothing she could do and ripped the front. Bottom line: do not go here!! read more

I have been going to Jamie for years. She has tailored my shirts, suits coats, and pants, all without any issues. She has also done some sewing and repairs to a few garments I brought her. I like Jamie because she will talk me out of bad ideas, like tailoring a jacket too tightly. I trust her completely. read more

Terrible work. I brought a dress there to have it hemmed approx 2 inches. When I first picked up the dress the front was considerably longer than the back of the dress and the liner of the dress hung down below the hem in the rear. Then when she "fixed it" the dress was too short to wear and the liner hung below the hem in the front. An expensive dress I can't even wear. read more

I took a bridesmaid dress here for alterations. I needed the dress hemmed and taken in on the side. It was ready in less than a week and was $76 which I thought was very reasonable. I was very happy with how it turned out and would definitely go back. read more

Jamie does an excellent job ! On several occasions she has been able to tailor my clothes at last minute and her prices are very reasonable. I find she is so much better than the tailors at the stores and dry cleaners ! I would highly recommend Jamie ! read more

Took a bridesmaid dress in for alterations, she did a fantastic job. I will agree with another poster, down side are the hours and she doesn't have an answering machine telling you if she's closed - Wanted to see if she could do more work and drove over on my lunch break 1/7/15 about 12:20 this should be a normal business day according to her web site, but she was closed (not the first time this has happened), so be sure to call before hand!! read more
