    Had a dress taken in, competitive prices, meticulous and high quality work. Wish I knew about this place sooner!

    Friendly and very reasonably priced repairs in a short time. I wish I had more garments to bring in.

    Very pleasant, efficient and fairly priced. The other seamstress/tailors in town charge way too much

    I have a pillow that needs a new zipper, a dog bed that needs stitching and an apron that needs a small repair. Is that something you can do?

    I had an absolutely amazing experience with Creative Alterations. I brought in 10 incredibly…read moreimportant items from my wedding including my couture wedding dress, a vintage rehearsal dinner dress, my after party dress, a beaded welcome party dress, my husband's tux, and several other pieces. Every single item was treated with the utmost care, professionalism, and attention to detail. Joseph, the owner, truly makes this place special. He is such a warm, kind person and someone you genuinely feel good about supporting. You can tell he loves what he does. He takes the time to get to know his clients (and even their dog, in our case!), which makes the experience feel personal and memorable. After cleaning the items, Joseph personally called me to let me know they were ready, which I really appreciated. When I picked them up, I was blown away, everything was cleaned to absolute perfection. If you're looking for someone you can trust with your most meaningful and delicate garments, this is the place. Highly, highly recommend!

    Inconsistent pricing. Brought two pairs of jeans in- both needed 1/2 inch taken off the bottom…read more First pair I dropped off 2/9 and was charged $32 for original hem. Second pair I just picked up 3/5 and was charged $48 for original hem 1/2 inch. I said I was charged $32 my first time and immediately the man jumped down my throat that they never charge $32. Well, overall both prices are steep given... also here is proof you charged me $32 and then $48 However they did fit me in, and finished the work timely. I was just a bit upset about the change in price given my first purchase.

    I cannot recommend Ariana Sewing Shop highly enough…read more I purchased what was essentially a ready-to-wear floor sample that was nearly two sizes too big, but he transformed it into what truly felt like a custom couture gown. From our very first appointment, he listened carefully to my vision and immediately understood exactly what I was hoping to achieve. He completely reimagined the dress by reshaping the neckline, removing the cap sleeves, and tailoring every detail until it fit me perfectly. It was a significant alteration project that required multiple appointments, yet he never once inflated the price or surprised me with additional charges. His honesty, professionalism, and attention to detail were remarkable. On my wedding day, I felt absolutely incredible. The dress looked and fit better than I ever imagined, and so much of that was because of his talent. He didn't just alter a gown. He helped create the dress I had envisioned from the beginning. If you're looking for someone who is exceptionally skilled, patient, fair, and genuinely invested in bringing your vision to life, I wouldn't hesitate to trust him with the most important dress you'll ever wear. Thank you for helping make my wedding day so special.

The shop owner was very accommodating and even hemmed my dress within an hour since I was in a time crunch even though he was closing soon. The hem was perfect, and plan to return if I need any alternations in the future. Thank you for your help Ariana Sewing Shop.

    Quick quality work and a fair price…read more Nothing more to say but Yelp requires more characters.

    I found Mari's Alterations through Yelp because of the many positive reviews. Unfortunately, my…read moreexperience was not positive so that was when I started looking into the 1 and 2 star reviews on Yelp and Google. They're all saying the same thing about Maria being disorganized and unreliable, which was exactly my experience. And based on reading the negative feedback, I noticed this lady tends to deflect blame. Never her fault. Always something else. I brought in two pairs of jeans for hemming and a wool coat that needed a lining added. Price was affordable. She gave me a week timeline to pick up. I originally planned to pick everything up on Saturday, but I called the next day (Sunday) and asked if I could pick up a day early on Friday instead. She said yes. Thursday came and I called them just to remind them as I've had experiences elsewhere in the past where things got forgotten and I didn't want to make a 25 min drive and finding out my stuff isn't ready. Lo and behold, when I called to remind her I'll be picking up the following day, she said Saturday so I reminded her I called her last Sunday to change to friday. She said okay, she's not busy so she can work on it. I showed up Friday at around 11. My stuff wasn't done. Her employees were working on it. At first she mentioned pick up was supposed to be Saturday. I repeated I've made phone calls prior to change to Friday and she said yes. Then she said I came too early. Say what? We never confirmed on a pickup time. Then she asked me to wait additional 40 minutes. And she argued with me, giving me an attitude. I let her know she was unprofessional and disorganized and this was before I read all the negative reviews. It frustrated me because she had the whole week to work on them and she didn't. Will not be taking my business here again. I do not recommend her business.

She was…read morealways friendly, responsive, and made sure every alteration I requested was completed exactly as I wanted. My dress fit beautifully on my wedding day. The pricing did feel a bit high at times, but since this was my first time having a wedding dress altered, I don't have much to compare it to. Regardless, the quality of the work was excellent. After taking my dress home, I noticed one small area that could have benefited from a slight adjustment. When I reached out, Nazila responded quickly and gave me helpful recommendations on where to place fashion tape, which worked well. I do wish we had caught that during one of my fittings, but I also hadn't noticed it until trying the dress on again at home. I also purchased a custom veil from her, and it was absolutely perfect. The color matched my dress 100%, which can be so difficult to find. I really appreciated that attention to detail. If you're looking for someone who is skilled, communicative, and genuinely cares about making sure you feel your best on your wedding day, I would definitely recommend Nazila.

    Nazila came to my rescue after having a bridal breakdown from a situation with a previous tailor. I…read morecame to her ONE month before my destination wedding, and from the initial phone call alone she made me feel at ease and in good hands. My dress not only needed lots of work done but the fabric was custom liquid organza which is extremely slick and slippery, but she handled it with such skill & care. She was able to squeeze me in her already packed schedule, and within one week of work she already made incredible progress! I was so impressed with her attention to detail, professionalism, and efficiency. On top of all that, she was so easy to work with and so so kind :) I knew I would incur rush fees with the timeframe I was in, but I found her overall pricing to be very reasonable. I'm beyond happy with how my dress turned out! With Nazila's exceptional skills, I had my dream wedding dress and in just one month! If you're looking to get a wedding dress, formal wear, high end gowns, etc tailored, I 10/10 recommend Nazila!
