Tina's is the best! I called with a bridesmaids dress emergency and they were able to alter my dress in 24 hours! Highly recommend!

Need some clothes tailored? Look no further. Tina's Alterations offers the most affordable and quickest turn-around time in all of Elizabeth. She is the only person who works in the front of the store but does have a lady that helps her make alterations in the back of the store. There are two private changing rooms and a mirrored platform for your use while she makes her adjustments in pins. If you like her on Yelp, she will give you a 10% discount. The decoration of the store is a bit outdated, but the work she does with the clothes is phenomenal. I recently took her some very expensive J.Crew dress pants and she made them fit perfectly. There are several options when getting clothes tailored, but Tina is by far the best!! read more

Totally found Tina's after searching for yelp for a tailor to fix a hole in my jacket. I didn't know you could multiple message folks/businesses on yelp for price quotes and information! Super helpful, but Tina's responded right away (there's an estimated response time built into the app) and I drove over to have the ladies take a look at the hole that needed patching. Tina's is tucked into the shopping center with the Fresh Market and Outback steakhouse... which I always find tricky cause of their entrance onto East Blvd and then the side entrance on Scott Ave. There are a number of businesses here in this shopping complex so the parking lot is always busy... I always feel like someone is going to pull out of this place onto East Blvd and hit me if I'm driving past. I think it's because the Brixx really "shields" the parking lot so that it almost feels like the cars are coming from nowhere. Anyway.. my old person parking complaints aside, the shop is located on the "less busy" end of the complex. From the parking lot you can see a manikin with a bridal dress on so it does give it a specialty shop feel, but I walked in and the ladies greeted me warmly. I showed them my coat and there was some discussion about what it will look like after, etc. Full disclosure... they said the patch wouldn't be seamless, but I'm just happy they were able to patch it. It's one of my favorite jackets - just happened to get snagged on a coat hook at the wrong place. Other than a register/host desk in the front.. there's saloon style doors that go to the back (I'm assuming for fittings and trying on dresses). Another lady came in while they were ringing me up and they do their best to get you in and out with your seamstress/alteration needs. read more

I chose to use Tina's alterations to have my bridesmaid dress tailored after reading some excellent reviews. Unfortunately these did not speak true to the work done on my dress. I took my dress in 8 weeks early to ensure ample time for adjustments, the employee who checked me in was very helpful and relieved that I had a lengthy timeline (apparently the business had a lot of recent rush orders). I put the dress on and stood in front of the mirror to explain the adjustments needed which were primarily across chest, neck, and armpit area. The only other adjustment was closing up the slit slightly. I wore the exact bra I'll be wearing at the wedding to ensure everything was being tailored to that. When I picked up my dress there was a different man at the shop who did not allow me to try it on before leaving. When I arrived home I discovered several disappointments in the stitching, alignment, and overall job. Despite having 4 weeks to complete, it is clear this work was done in a huge rush. The seam is OVER A MILLIMETER OFF OF ALIGNMENT which is huge when it comes to a fitted gown. The dress does not lay on my body properly as a result, the left side is a millimeter long and lower than the right. If you've ever put a long fitted gown that's asymmetrical on your body then you know how instantly noticeable it is. I could have done this work at home with my own sewing machine for less of a headache and saved $80 for their ten minutes of work. It still does not cover the bra I am wearing to the ceremony or fit tightly in the check/underarm which is exactly what I paid them to fix. Not sure if they forgot to fix one side or just can't see their own hemline. Thankfully I have time to take it elsewhere to be properly fixed before the wedding. Will never go here again. read more

Friendly and efficient service I had a bridesmaid dress that came in and ended up being 3-4 sizes too big. They were able to alter it to perfection in only a week! Also the pricing was amazing. read more

Very happy with my experience at Tina's Alterations!! I brought my wedding gown in after being recommended by the boutique I bought it at. It is a massive ball gown.... it's a LOT of dress lol. I just needed my gown slightly let out around my chest, and a bustle. Tina's did amazing and they were QUICK! Less than two weeks. The ladies who work there are so kind as well. 100% recommend! read more

I've gone to Tina's for years. She never fails to do a quality job. I love her as a person, too, and consider her a friend. Her name is not Tina, by the way, it's a lovely Vietnamese name pronounced "Ann" (Ahn). I believe that I get top tailoring for a lower price. She is very creative and often helps me with design decisions. I love going in, too, because she does so many bridal alterations, and I get to talk to the brides! Their joy just makes my day. read more

I had a second-hand Reformation dress that turned out to be a bit too large and too long, so after a lot of yelp reviews later, I decided to take the dress to Tina's. As most reviewers say, they were a little on the pricey side, but the work they did was worth it. They were able to take my dress in on top, matching the seams to where you can't even tell it wasn't made that way from the start. I also had them hem about 3 inches from the bottom which they did a great job on as well. And I took it in on a Tuesday and needed it for a party on Saturday so they were able to get the alterations done quickly! If you're looking for a great tailor in the area then I'd definitely recommend. read more

Tina did a FANTASTIC job on creating my dream wedding dress! I originally wanted to wear a dress that's been in my family for years but was unable to fit it. I purchased a simple dress and entrusted Tina to essentially recreate my dream dress! She manually transferred all of the lace and beading from the original dress to the new one, she also cut a few feet off of my detachable train, added hooks to the new dress for the detachable train to blend in perfectly on the new bodice. I want to give a huge THANK YOU to Tina and her staff for making my dreams come to reality and ensuring I looked stunning on my wedding day!!!! In addition, they altered my father's suit and my mother and grandmother's dresses! All of the work was done with precise detail, love, and passion for her craft! Forever grateful! read more

Horrible experience altering my wedding dress. I felt like the staff were way too opinionated about MY dress. They pressured me to get it tighter than I wanted, and after I declined, they did it anyway. They only gave me one option of a bustle (probably because they preferred that style themselves). The worst part was that after altering my dress too tight, they had a hard time zipping me in and actually accused me of gaining weight. They then recommended I drink more tea to lose the weight. I went home and cried because the alterations ladies fat-shamed me. Not that it matters what size I am, but I am a size 2 and am mortified at the way they treated me. Avoid Tina's at all costs. read more

I am a clothing freak. I like my clothes fitted and tailored and I get almost everything altered in some way. It's a small place but she's really good at keeping the flow going and getting you measured and out of there quickly. She's very thorough and is great at what she does. She has been able to do things that other alterations places have said couldn't be done. I'm sure they're not the cheapest but they are definitely reasonable. It's super convenient and quicker turnaround than a lot of other alterations places. I will be seeing them again soon after gifting myself some new clothes over the Christmas holidays! read more

They do a great job. I'm always happy to bring clothes there for alteration. Reasonable price but great quality. If a uniform, you can ask to be done quicker. read more

I brought my wedding dress in to be altered in January. I had to eventually call them to confirm that alterations were completed because they never reached out. When I went in to try my dress once alterations were "completed" the dress was still too big and my concerns were waived off with "it's perfect". I will not be using them again. read more

Tina's Alteration is great! They turned my wedding dress which was not originally a maternity dress into one with excellence! I highly recommend them for your alteration needs. Friendly customer service as well! read more

Tina has done three wedding dress alterations, multiple suits, cocktail dresses, jean/pant hems... she works with you on pricing and doesn't try to over charge or add on additional work that doesn't NEED to be done just to rack up your bill.

I had my wedding dress altered here and they did a fantastic job. It was brought in four sizes, with one layer actually having to be let out, and they did it flawlessly. They sewed cups in to the lining of the dress so that I didn't have to bother with a special bra. I noticed a small lace flower on the dress was ripped, and they added their own flower that matched perfectly. You couldn't even tell a difference. My alterations required three fittings, and everyone was patient and I could tell cared about the value of their work. They are very reasonably priced in addition to everything. These ladies and their team know what they are doing! read more

This place is, quite seriously, as good as it gets! The pricing is not cheap, but it's fair, in my opinion. I have, since last year, brought in 4 pair of pants (2 hiking, 2 jeans) for hemming... all work was done quickly and perfectly... and last week I brought in a dress from Lulu's that needed all sorts of TLC to make it fit JUST right... The dress was a very flowy goddess cut dress with a deep plunging neckline... I loved it the minute I put it on, but it was cut for a woman with um... how shall I say it... larger "endowments" than my own... so I took it to Tina's, and purchased some fashion tape on the side just in case... When I returned to pick it up, the cups we had discussed had been seamlessly added, the shoulder pieces had been taken up, and the side gaps had been delicately hand stitched together.... YES... I paid $60 for this alteration (almost as much as I paid for the dress), but in the end it was 100% worth it. (I returned the fashion tape as it was unnecessary after the alterations had been done.) I will take everything that needs altering back to Tina's. The work is impeccable EVERY TIME! read more

They hemmed my dress so quickly! Everything was done professionally and in a timely fashion.

This was my 1st ever experience with Wedding Dress fittings. From the initial call to meeting Tina & her staff, I knew I made the right choice...everyone was so sweet & professional. Originally, I thought all I needed was my Wedding Dress to be hemmed but that was not the case. Tina & her team worked hard & in record time, to ensure the alterations needed would be done in time for my Wedding Day. I never felt like just another customer...they really cared! Thank You Tina & your team (wish I had gotten their names) for providing excellent customer service & making me feel special! read more

Super friendly, quick turn around, and reasonably priced. I've had several pants and skirts altered here. And once, I had a button pop off, and they fixed it on the spot for free. Very kind staff and will continue going here for my alteration needs! read more

Obviously bridesmaid gowns are always going to need to be altered, but I cannot express my satisfaction and gratitude enough to the team here. Needless to say my dress needed more than a little work to make it what it was supposed to be - let a little out, removal of pockets for a better shape, straps tightened to frame better- but they handled everything like pros. They worked to make sure the dress was a perfect fit all around, and were the kindest in the process. Ladies, I would highly recommend utilizing them for your alterations! read more

Great service & very sweet lady. She was able to sew a fairly large tear in a lace shirt of mine in only a few minutes. Would highly recommend! read more

Tina's is the absolute best place in Charlotte for alterations! I brought in a very intricate laced pattern wedding dress that I was so very nervous to have altered but Tina and the rest of the team blew my mind away!! They know exactly what to do and even saw things I didn't notice. I went in twice like a crazy bride and they were so helpful and didn't even charge for the second fitting. I also took another very delicate lace reception dress to be fitted and they totally transformed the dress to fit perfectly. They can do everything! Her prices are very reasonable but the attention to detail and professionalism and most of all knowledge of their craft is what will keep me coming back the entire time I live in Charlotte. I would not go anywhere else ESPECIALLY for your wedding dress alterations!! read more

Wonderful service! They truly know what they are doing and how material fits your body. Friendly, quick, quality work. Best tip about this place: the store front is small - only 2 changing rooms and you wear the clothing and are pinned in the front of the store (open to public) read more

Tina and her staff are super reliable, and efficient! She also cares about her customers and will make recommendations based on heed years of experience. I'm definitely a loyal customer and wouldn't go anywhere else for my alterations! read more

Believe it or not the ruffles on this dress used to go all the way up the shoulders like angel wings. Tina's Alterations did an amazing job limiting the ruffle, opening the back and taking in the dress almost two sizes while keeping it's flattering seams. Thank you so much! read more

Awesome tailor with a solid price. Fixed a wool jacket up for me that was too large. I love it! 5 stars

I took my wedding dress to Tina about 2 -3 weeks before my wedding. I wasn't happy with the work of the previous seamstress and with the short timeframe I didn't know what Tina would be able to do for me. After looking at the dress her and her team determined how to fix it and literally fix ever problem I had with the dress...they even noticed imperfections that I hadn't seen. Their work was amazing and I wish I would have taken it to them first. Thanks so much Tina and team! read more

I needed my blazer jacket altered last minute. I called them the day before the event and she was so nice about it and had it done by 5pm the next day. I dropped it off around 6ish the evening before. We were both so excited that it fit so well. I will definitely be using her for anything and everything else that needs to be altered. She's the real deal and her prices are very reasonable. Didn't charge me much for such a quick turnaround. read more

Although not highly convenient for me coming from Gaston county, I have errands in Charlotte at times, and have left some clothing at this shop. Pricing is a few dollars more than I encounter elsewhere - it's in Dilworth after all, so I'm not surprised some upcharge needs to passed along. Along with that, the shop is tiny... fittings take place in the lobby, change rooms are very small. Again, I get it - commercial real estate is expensive in this area, so space will be economized. My first visit, I felt like my items are not taken in quite enough. But based on so many strong reviews I gave them a second chance, and asked Tina to double check the pinning being done by her assistants. She would tell them "you need to take in more" and adjust the pins. These garments came back meeting my expectations. They do have convenient Saturday hours, and my items were completed by the promised date on my ticket. read more

I messaged Tina's on yelp, I have a zipper that broke and a flight tonight out of the country. She told me to come in and she would fix it as quickly as possible. They fixed my pants in under 30 minutes knowing I was in a rush, i am so grateful. Will definitely be back!!!! read more

I have finally found my go-to for alterations in Charlotte! I've taken a few things to Tina including pants, dresses, and my wedding gown. Everything has always been done on time with quality work. I've observed Tina and her team interacting with many different clients and have always seen respect. I like how they will make recommendations based in their expertise, but will always default to what the client wants if there is a difference of opinion. I would (and have!) highly recommended Tina's. read more

I took my grandmother's 65 year old wedding dress to be remastered for me. There were alterations done in the 1980s for my mother as well. Tina's took on the project and did an amazing job. The dress fits perfectly and it beautiful. A simple dress is often the hardest to perfect with clean lines and I could not be happier with the job they have done. They also created a matching lace jacket and veil custom order to match the lace we added to the dress. Thank you so much and I cannot wait to wear this dress for my wedding!! read more

I just moved to Charlotte and was anxious to have to find a new alterations place for a bridesmaid dress. I found Tina's on Yelp and called to ask how far in advance I had to bring in my dress, and she said about a week before the wedding-easy enough. My husband ended up bringing in a couple of suits he needed tailored before then, and he was very happy with the results. Tina took great care in making sure everything was pinned and altered properly. We've lived in NYC, Chicago, and some other cities, and my husband says Tina did the best job on his suits than anyone in the larger cities, and at a better price, too. She has a natural eye for what looks best and does far more than just taking in the sides of a jacket. When it came time to do my bridesmaid dress I brought it in about a week before and really just needed the straps shortened and the bottom hemmed. I had kind of a strange puckering on the dress near the zipper and Tina asked me if I wanted her to try to fix it. I asked her if she thought it was worth it and she said no. I appreciated the honestly because really, it was a dress I'd wear once and I didn't think the pucker was worth the cost or effort. She was quick and efficient in marking the bottom of the dress and it ended up costing me a lot less than the places I've taken bridesmaid dresses to in other cities-almost half as much. I picked up my dress a week later and it was great. I ended up stopping in again recently to get a pair of leggings hemmed and as with the other times, it was quick in, quick out, and the hem looks great. The staff is also friendly and easy to work with. We'll be coming back to Tina's for all our alteration needs. read more

Who knew that finding a tailor would be so difficult. I've asked for recommendations searched yelp etc and didn't have a whole lot of luck finding what I was looking for. To be honest I wasn't looking for much just something close by that didn't cost a fortune. I lucked out with Tina's Alterations! I walked right in was helped right away I got my dress back in a few days and it was perfect. Great location in Dilworth with easy parking if this is your neighborhood then make Tina's your tailor, read more
