Too expensive and condescending. I brought a top in for alterations and she pushed it aside saying first of all it needs to be washed. I told her it was washed and then she quoted a price of $100. Hard pass! read more

Trinh's Alterations - $100 to close the arm holes--HARD PASS! - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

I cannot recommend Trinh's Alterations enough! Over the past two weeks, I've brought in a variety of items--everything from a jean skirt to delicate pieces like a silk bodysuit, a hat, a silk romper, shorts, and even sweatpants--all needing different kinds of adjustments. Trinh is incredibly efficient in assessing each item and determining exactly what's needed. Her turnaround time is impressively fast, and thanks to her, I now have everything I need for spring! What truly sets Trinh apart is her honesty and expertise. Today, I went back for the third time, bringing in a recently purchased vintage leather jacket that I thought needed tailoring. Instead of just taking on the job, Trinh carefully assessed the fit and showed us that if worn at shoulder height, the jacket was already perfect. She was upfront in saying she wouldn't feel comfortable altering it because it truly didn't need to be tailored. That level of integrity is rare, and we left feeling so grateful for her honesty. I plan to come here year-round for all my families tailoring needs. If you're looking for someone who is skilled, efficient, and trustworthy, Trinh is the best! read more

truly a hidden gem in the rva area! i have taken thick jeans and trousers to get hemmed and she gets it done well and in good time. She takes into consideration the style and how you want the clothes to fall when prepping the alterations and she even pressed my pants so they were ready to wear at pickup. the entrance is on the side of the building so don't be discouraged if you don't see it right away. and be sure to bring cash! read more

Trinh's Alterations is 5 stars - top quality alterations and very quick! Trinh is incredibly talented. Highly Recommend.

Trinh is lovely to interact with. She tows a good line between your request and her recommendations. My suit and my partner's jumpsuit turned out perfect. Thank you Trinh! read more

Ms. Trinh fixed up a bridesmaid dress for me so quickly and beautifully. I had no idea how to explain what needed fixing, but she had it all figured out. She explained each alteration she made and I'm glad she did. They're so skillfully done I can barely see where she made them! She is skilled, fast, kind, and worth every cent I paid. read more

I had four pairs of jeans hemmed and they were shortened perfectly. The hems all look like they were hemmed at the factory! I can't recommend Trinh's highly enough. read more

I am pretty sure that Trinh is my angel on earth. I am probably a tailor's worst nightmare because I do everything last minute (sorry Trinh!!) but she didn't even complain and just got my pieces in when I needed it. Even in my initial meeting with Trinh, I knew I could trust her with her work. I'm taking the time to write reviews for her because she is truly the best of the best, I will ONLY be going to her and recommending her to everyone I know. Go to Trinh's for your alterations, you will love it for sure!!! read more

Ms. Trinh is an absolute gem. She's always so very kind and professional. I've had multiple pieces altered by her, one I needed quickly and one within a month. She was able to have it finished exactly when promised and when I needed them. She works very quickly to deliver an excellent end product. I only take my garments to her and would recommend her 100% Last year I took my wedding dress to her with an extremely long train and a lot of lace. Ms. Trinh worked her butt off on the bustle and removing the lace and reapplying. She's also shortened some sleeves on my partners suits. She's a professional, so I listen to everything she says. If she requests you come in to try on a piece for her... do it, she needs to see the material and how it fits. She's also realistic about what she can and can't do, please listen to her wisdom even if it's not exactly what you want to hear. I've heard other customers be rude to her and it's just really not acceptable she is incredibly sweet and hard working. She works fast, does amazing work and at a good price! read more

The best tailor in the Richmond area!! I could not be more happy with how it came out and on such short notice! I would recommend Trinh a thousand times again! read more

I was happy with the alterations done by Trinh on my bridesmaid gown. I needed the spaghetti straps shortened and thought I might also need it hemmed and the bust taken in. Trinh talked me out of everything except the straps, showing me that the dress would fit properly once that simple fix was finished. I appreciated that she wanted to save me money rather than upsell extra work. The dress fit well when I picked it up a month later; not perfect, as the straps weren't as short as I had anticipated and still felt a tad loose, but it looked great for the wedding. It cost $50, cash or check only. I recommend her services and will be back for future alterations. read more

Needed a suit tailored and I called Trinh to see if I could stop by that day. I came two weeks before the event I needed the suit for, and Trinh had finished it earlier than she had expected! She is cash only, so be mindful of that. Such a friendly, sweet lady that I happily put my trust in. Will be coming to her for any other alterations I need in the future! read more

Trinh did a fantastic job on my bridesmaid dress. When it came in, the top was slightly too revealing and so Trinh was able to take fabric from the bottom and add it to the top while making it look intentional. It looked fantastic and I was super happy with the end result! read more

Came to get a simple bridesmaid dress altered given the great reviews. She seemed rushed when taking measurements despite me being the only customer in the store and was not friendly. Made rude comments about the dress having multiple layers and needing to charge me 'two or maybe three times' what she normally charges. When I went to pick up my dress, it was still several inches too long. When going to pay, she attempted to charge me more than the agreed upon price I was quoted when I dropped it off. Will not be returning. read more

I dropped a dress for my wedding (not wedding dress) off here a month before my wedding. The owner was rude about the amount of time I was giving them for basic and minimal alterations despite saying they do same day alterations on their website. I paid in cash that day and took my ticket. When I returned she claimed I did not and would not give me my dress until I returned with cash because of course they don't take cards. This was for my wedding so I had no choice but to go and get 70 dollars in cash again to pay her. Do not waste your time here. Not only do they not have an effective and safe system of taking clothes and payment they are rude and inconsiderate. read more

Trinh is amazing! She was able to make alterations to my dress I needed for a New Years event in no time. The quality was amazing, she was nice, funny, and took her time and was patient to make sure my dress fit me how I like. Trinh is always my go to for alterations, I appreciate her so much and making beautiful alterations to my gown. I attached a photo and you can view my ig for more photos of the dress @memorablemo_ thank you Trinh! read more

Trinh did a fantastic job altering my daughter's dress for prom. It had two layers, one lace, and it fit her perfectly and looked fantastic.

I ordered my wedding dress online due to COVID, therefore, I had a lot of fit issues. I had also read online that the material could be difficult to alter, so I was super worried. I found the highest rated alterations shop in the area on Yelp, which was Trinh. I dropped my dress off in early March and came in mid May for my fitting. I needed a bustle as well as lots of taking in and hemming. Trinh noticed there was a spot that needed more bustling, so she kept it and I get to pick it up two weeks before my wedding. She is amazing to work with, very professional, and I genuinely don't think that anyone would have done as wonderful of a job as Trinh did! read more

Wow wow wow, Trinh and her work are incredible. Trinh helped me hem two pairs of jeans and the work is truly splendid. The color of the stitches match perfectly and are so tight / clean.

Trinh, the owner is so great! Expert eye and so much experience plus really sweet. If possible, she'll help with short notice but she is popular and super in demand so definitely call first. So happy I found her. If you love a dress but aren't sure about it, she will be honest and tell you if it's worth attempting. Also, she can sometimes find suprising, cool ways to improve the design you wouldn't think of. 100% recommend. read more

Trinh is a master of her craft. If you have a high-stakes article of clothing that needs alterations, I'd recommend her. Bring cash.

She works (BY HERSELF) so quickly and does fantastic work. Don't sleep on this one if you need alterations of any kind!

Great detail-oriented tailor. I brought in two suit pants with a window pane pattern. Trinh was able to bring them in with the appropriate taper left and right so the symmetry of the pattern remained as intended (no easy feat!) I would highly recommend her services. read more

I contacted this place about having a pair of ems work pants done unfortunately last minute. I was told it would be $30 for the hemming. I couldn't believe it. I asked what the normal rate for hemming was and was told $25. There are other places in the area that don't overcharge and will and ended up getting my business. read more

I got my suit altered and when I tried it on at the store my suit still didnt fit well. Instead of trying to resolve the issue she tried to blame it on my body shape and weight when it had nothing to do with it. All she cares about is money and wants to do minimum job so if that's what you want go here. read more

Now that our wedding has passed, I just had to update my review to compliment Trinh again for what a wonderful job she did with inserting the bustles into my dress. The French bustle made my dress look so elegant! Please don't hesitate to trust her with your wedding alteration needs! read more

I decided to stop in here because I had a traditional Vietnamese men's ao dai. I am getting married so I had to make sure that my garment was in the hands of someone that was familiar with Vietnamese formal wear. I found Trinh's Alterations through Yelp and I'm so glad that I did. She took in my ao dai, which was too big. She also shortened up the sleeves. What was impressive was that the hand stitched buttons had to be removed carefully and reattached after the sides were taken in. I'm very happy with Trinh's work and she was one of the warmest and friendliest person to do business with. She used to work for Nordstrom's tailoring until she opened up her own place. Trinh's Alteraions was tricky to find because it is in between two buildings. Only the business sign was visible. I'll be sure to come back here for more alterations. Tip: No credit cards are taken at this time, which is a slight inconvenience. read more

The alterations were great however she was very over priced. I just got my dress shortened about an inch in length and it cost over $100.

I had a bridesmaid dress I ordered online that came in way too big. The back was mostly lace (see photo), so I wasn't sure if anyone would be able to adjust it. I came to Trinh's shop because I read all the other great reviews here, and I'm so glad I did. She was able to pull off the impossible! She undid the waist and back lace and was able to tighten it all back together to fit me. On my end, it couldn't have been an easier process- go to her shop during open hours, try on the dress for her, talk through the adjustments to make, give her a due date, and that's it! She even had the dress ready for me a few days before I requested it so we could make sure it looked exactly like it needed to. It worked out great. She's very talented and so easy to work with! I wouldn't hesitate to use her services again. read more

Trinh is amazing! She did a rush alterations this week for me on what I thought would be an easy shoulder adjustment. She ended up having to take the entire top apart to ensure it would not be noticeable! incredible job! read more

Trinh is absolutely awesome. I called her after 1pm on a Saturday needing a same Day alteration. Everyone turned me down because I was seriously on the late show. Not Ms. Trinh! She asked me to come by so she could take a look. She has a small little shop that you might miss when going for the first time. Trinh was able to help me and at a reasonable price for a last minute service. I called a bunch of alteration businesses I found on Yelp, but Trinh was the only one to save the day in a pinch. I'll definitely bring any other business I have to her and suggest you bring yours to her too! read more

I can't say enough wonderful thing about Trinh! After another tailor did a poor job on the alterations for my wedding dress - I stopped into Trinh's shop to see if she could fix it with only 4 days until the big day. Even with other last minute orders, she gladly offered to help. She assured me that everything was going to be fine and fully explained what needed to be done. She was calming and reassuring and best of all - the dress fit perfectly and within 48 hours. Her pricing is extremely reasonable, she is an amazing person & her work is seamless. I highly recommend to anyone looking for high quality alterations. read more
