I didn't think it's in business anymore. Pulled up and it was closed. Called the number and no answer. You don't have to be rude ma'am. I'm basically leaving my experience with your business. I searched it up and both Google and Yelp gave me your business hours and I showed up during "open " hours . I understand about being a mother. No where in my review did I mentioned I called yesterday. I actually did leave a message on the number that was listed at the shop. My review was simply I showed up during listed opened hours and your shop was closed , called the number no answer and the shop looked dark I thought it maybe it was closed down. So don't need to be rude that's just MY experience . read more

The Seamstress - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Puyallup, Washington

I never thought I would leave her a bad review. She did a lot of work for me that I loved, reworking vintage dresses. I have given her name to people for weddings, daily wear, everything. And over the last 6 months, she has broken down our relationship with poor workmanship and refusing to meet deadlines. I dropped off two vintage dresses in October for rework. One was silk beaded and one was designer 80's prom. The silk beaded she added side panels, and I got it back in January, the date of the event i needed it for, not a day early. She didn't bind the silk edge properly and it pulled out that same night after three hours of wear. She lined silk with silk, making the dress stiff and the bottom seam was left very sharp and ripped my nylons up at the event. I got so many comments on the torn nylons. She promised to repair it so I asked her to use the proper lining. I also asked her to match the beading on the panels and went and found the beads. I was willing to pay for mote work on the bad job even. We had a previous great relationship so I assumed it was one bad job and felt comfortable going further and I truly believed she would fix it. I asked her to do the 80's prom first so that I could wear it spring since I already wore the silk. She has taken it apart for months and has never put it back together. I told her repeatedly not to take fabric from the peplum because it was the entire reason I bought the dress. I told her take from the skirt because we were shortening anyway. She took from the peplum. We added girth to the bodice so the peplum is no longer as ruffled. Devastating. I had two separate fittings for the 80's dress scheduled. One she left me standing outside and didn't even tell me that she wasn't coming. A later different fitting, I had a feeling she was gonna ghost me so I called her first and found out that she was never intending to show up. I have begged for dates for a fitting and she refuses to respond. I was only able to get responses when I said never mind I will just come pick it up. She then said she wouldn't even charge me for the work on the 80's dress!!! The work to take it apart and never put it back together? She missed valentines day, my entire show season, every event i could have purposed it for... So now she has a silk beaded vintage dress that she never repaired her bad seams, so that dress is essentially destroyed and unwearable. And I paid for the job already, but now have to pay someone else to fix it or throw it out. And the other dress is in pieces. If she had never touched them, I could at least resell them. She will probably respond with some quippy nasty remarks like she does everyone else who complains. But I am not an unreasonable person with unreasonable expectations. I treated her like a friend and she has destroyed two beautiful vintage garments. I am utterly devastated to lose the working relationship and to lose the dresses. Please be firm on your deadlines with her. She will always pass the buck. I doubt I will get a genuine apology. All I will get back is the remains of two vintage dresses. One that has already been paid for. I will also get some little sneer in response I'm sure. update: the snide remark is posted by the owner. i will be picking up my unfinished garments this evening. how truly sad to see such a dishonest and disgusting response. this is what you can expect. it truly tells to her character. read more

A year late to post, but Kimberly did an AMAZING job on my dress. There was a lot that needed to be done for my dress that I had ordered online. From shortening my straps, getting rid of extra fabric, from hemming my dress that had horsehair at the bottom, too putting in a bustle for my dress with a clear button to match my clear buttons on my dress, she was amazing. I would highly recommend Kimberly to everyone getting married, being in weddings, or just need alterations in general. read more

Kimberly was so wonderful to work with. We had a terrible experience with a local dress shop and needed a last minute alteration done for prom. She was so kind to be willing to do the work and then once we got there and realized that the dress was damaged stepped right up and was ready willing and capable of fixing it so the dress was perfect. Her work is beautiful and I'm so grateful for her craftsmanship and overall kindness to help a crappy situation turn out beautifully. We will definitely be back for any alteration needs read more

This is the type of small business I want to support! High quality work, thoughtful, creative, & helpful. We talked thru my project & she mapped out the part of the sewing I could do on my own to save me money! I will be back & highly recommend. read more

we came here for both my daughters proms. she is amazing and so fast. definitely recommend

The worst experience a bride could have experienced!! KIMBERLY is beyond nasty and aggressive. Completed turned on is the day of pickup. Ready to attack and fight once she's confronted about upsell. Condescending attitude! How dare you!! Lack of communication. On top of that she didn't even take the measurements to the wedding dress and then openly admit I had to go back in and let more out yes clearly because you did not take measurements and you want to call yourself a suitable seamstress??? Needless to say when she finally renegotiated a fee less than 12 hours away from our wedding she wants to hold the dress hostage until she's paid in full PURE JOKE! read more

The seamstress did great work needed a pair of pants hemmed and she did a fast and efficient job I paid for a rush job but the quality of the stitching and care were not rushed at all thank you so much! read more

She did a great job altering a prom dress. Quality work, good price, and finished quickly!

Since Kimberly did such an excellent job altering a skirt I brought in to her I of course immediately thought of her when I had some new wardrobe alterations in mind. I bought a couple of super cute peasant blouses but unfortunately the sleeves were too short for me. I brought them in to Kimberly and asked her what could be done. Like the pro that she is she said right away that she could definitely extend the sleeves and use material as similar as possible to the rest of the blouses. She measured my forearm and she set about the task. I didn't rush her as I knew it would take time for her to find the right material and integrate it as seamlessly as possible to the rest of the blouse. When the blouses were ready I went to her shop and was very pleasantly surprised with the results. The additions looked like a natural part of the blouse design and the cuffs came down to my wrists as I wanted. So pretty! I can't wait to wear them in public and show off Kimberly's handiwork. I am definitely now a loyal customer of Kimberly's. Besides being an ace seamstress she is so nice! It's a pleasure doing business with her and I wish her continued success with her business. She deserves it! And here are the pics showing off my nice new sleeves. read more

Found the seamstress online so I didn't know what to expect. I needed a formal dress taken in and hemmed for my son's wedding. When I entered, her space was full of wedding dresses to be altered so I felt good about that. We chatted while trying on my dress and I found out her extensive background as a seamstress, much more than alterations. She very nice and easy to communicate with. I will use her again and tell my friends! read more

I had a very last minute wedding dress alteration that required a quick turnover. The Seamstress responded quickly, and had the job done in the time I needed. Not just that but my dress wasn't the easiest. She is experienced and skilled, and my dress fit so perfect for our big day. I will definitely be coming back for other alterations. read more

Kimberly did great work on my suit jacket and pants just in time for an event. If we need more tailoring we'll be back.

I am way too late submitting this but I had an amazing experience. I had less then 48 hours to get my dress hemmed for my sister's wedding. She did an amazing job, was very reasonably priced and especially for short notice and she is so fun to talk to. She'd definitely be in my coven! read more

The Seamstress, was absolutely fantastic. She was so friendly and professional. I would definitely recommend using her. Her services were excellent her work was wonderful. I was late to my appointment due to traffic, she was so kind and waited for me to arrive. read more

It doesn't get any better than Kimberly. I came to her with a nearly impossible request involving a pair of trendy flared denim that were too short in length with a really difficult hemline. Kimberly was up for the challenge and assured me we could make it work. Over the course of several weeks, Kim worked diligently to perfect the jeans to my liking. I put this poor woman through 3 or 4 iterations of adjustments and she never batted an eye or charged me extra. She was beyond patient and truly SO FREAKING NICE despite spending literally hours on these jeans to get them exactly the way I wanted them. Oh, but it doesn't stop there. 3 days before Christmas I texted her in a panic - the skirt I was planning on wearing for the holiday was too big and I needed it take in! To my shock, she immediately offered to meet me in her studio ON CHRISTMAS EVE to fix the skirt for me. Talk about going above and beyond. This sealed the deal for me and I will never go anywhere else. If you're local, you'd be doing yourself a disservice not using Kim for your tailoring! read more

Friendly, quick and excellent work. The Seamstress did the alterations for my daughter's prom dress and they were perfect.

Absolutely amazing! High-quality work and very quick. Highly recommend. Kimberly is personable friendly and a great seamstress.

I brought in a suit to be altered prior to my son's wedding. It fit and looked great! Kimberley did a great job. Would definitely recommend! read more

She does beautiful work very quick to respond back, cute shop so if your looking for an alterations person I would highly recommend you to go to ..... The Seamstress!! She will be my go to for all future jobs! read more

I have taken several items here for service. Does great work but lacks consistency and communication on when items will be done and what is agreed to when you drop off items. Both times I was told a date for completion and that date changed and the last time, extra material from a Burberry Jacket was not saved and supposedly thrown away even after we discussed that I wanted the material saved. Too many "I'm sorry" for me. read more

I bought my wedding dress 3 months postpartum. It was tight to say the least, but in my delulu state of mind, I thought for sure by the time of the wedding I would lose a little more weight and then the dress would look perfect. Well, I was wrong. Two weeks before the wedding I tried on my dress and not only was it still tight, but it wouldn't zip. Needless to say, I panicked and thought there was no way anyone would be able to get my dress altered to fit me before the wedding. Thats when I stumbled upon the seamstress and let me tell you she is a MAGICIAN. She took my dress, made it look beautiful on me, and was so reasonably priced. She was also great at communicating throughout the whole process, and that brought me so much peace of mind. You can tell she loves what she does and I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone in need of alterations!!! I will for sure use her again in the future. read more

I had a costume that needed hemming as I was going to Walt Disney World and was attending the Mickey's not so scary Halloween party. This is the only time Disney allows adults to wear costumes in its parks. I looked up tailoring services and was able to find this business. The business owner is very responsive and also very good at what she does! If you need alterations , I recommend this business. Also, she has a store front with clothing and her own designs that is super cute! Take a look! read more

I took in a couple items to be hemmed. I had them back within a week and the hems were perfect! Thanks for your kind, quick, quality service! read more

Amazing service, fair prices. I wouldn't go anywhere else for my alterations and repairs.

Would not recommend. Needed alteration by a certain date. Would not have used service if date would not work. Went to pick up dress alterations and date had been changed. Waste of time. read more

Wonderful seamstress and was very responsive and quick. Does very beautiful work at a responsible price.

I needed some patches sewn onto two of my Motorcycle Club vests (Cuts). She got me in right away, did great work, and got me on my way very quickly! I highly recommend her work! read more

I ordered a dress online that fit well but needed to be altered in length. I called Kimberly, the owner, and she told me to come on in and that she could complete that alteration before the wedding in two weeks. When I arrived with my daughter and another wedding dress to alter, Kimberly welcomed us and still said that both dresses would be ready before the wedding in two week. My daughter's dress needed much more altering than mine but she still was confident in saying she could get both completed. I was impressed and she made me feel confident that she could do the job in a timely and highly skilled manner. I felt that the price for the alterations were fair. I will update this review when we get the dresses back. read more

I needed a suit and a shirt altered for my daughter's wedding. Due to shortsightedness on my part I needed it done within a week. Most places I contacted were scheduling 2 weeks out! I contacted Kimberly at The Seamstress and she said there would be no problem completing the job in time. The work done was flawless and at a reasonable price. Plus, Kimberly was accessible, accommodating and simply a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend! read more
