Expensive, but worth it and she listens and can do a really quick turn around. Would recommend.

Wedding dress perfection and reasonable. Phenomenal tailor and seamstress. There is no for me read more

I'll admit that my alterations were quite minimal--the two Jos. A. Bank suits I ordered were pretty good out of the box. But the pants needed to be hemmed properly and a small alteration to the waist was needed in one of them. Truc and her team did it in two days, and charged me what I thought was ridiculously little for the work. Both pairs of pants look great, and I'll go back to her for more work if I need alterations done again. read more

Truc is an absolute godsend and amazing tailor. I am short and busty with a small waist so pretty much nothing fits exactly right. For my wedding she altered my qi pao dress to fit like a dream. Several Maxi dresses to fit my height. And basically created a Berta inspired over lay on a jumpsuit she tailored using the fabric I purchased. read more

Although the tailoring provided in this shop has been good in the past, their lack of professionalism / customer service warrants this poor review. I dropped off a pair of new black, Italian wool designer trousers for minor alterations. When I went to pick them up today, I was presented with a pair of cheap blue polyester slacks. In response to my protests that these were not my pants, Truc alternated between insisting that they were ("Try them on! Try them on!") - yelling at the seamstress whom she claims switched the tickets - and blaming me for not picking up the pants last week. She insisted that I prove that these were not my pants. If anyone has suggestions for how I might do that, please chime in! I showed her the emailed purchase receipt for the pants I had dropped off (which included a photo as well as their brand/color/size/material), but this was insufficient to satisfy Truc. I am out $222 for the pants AND the $15 alteration charge, which she did not refund. We all make mistakes. If Truc had admitted her mistake and rectified it, I would not have had to resort to this negative review. Unfortunately, she responded to my concerns with denial + blaming the seamstress + blaming me. This is unacceptable. read more

I've used Truc a few times. Now I am going to use her for my bridesmaids dresses. I also recommended get for my cousin's wedding and she did such an amazing job! read more

My mom has used Truc for beauty pageant and performance dresses, so I didn't hesitate to use her for my son's prom alterations. My son bought a suit online that was 5 sizes too big, but it was the suit he wanted for prom. We visited Truc who measured him to tailor the suit to fit him perfectly. The location is a little sketchy, but park on the top deck and you can go straight to her suite. Truc and her team do great work and they are fast, efficient, and affordable. read more

Truc is great! She came highly recommended from a friend who has been using Truc's services for years. I was very impressed the very first time I came to have Truc do some alterations for a wedding I was in! Recently, a friend was asking for recommendations for a tailor and I immediately thought of Truc. She's in a wedding and needed some minor alterations. Truc offered a fair price and did a great job helping my friend get what she needed! It's a lil hard finding this place but it's worth it! read more

Truc has altered many things for me over the years. She is always thoughtful and reasonable - and always gets me my things back on schedule. So grateful to have found her! read more

I took a bridesmaids dress here a while ago and they did an amazing job! The neckline was too tight so she cut the opening larger and when I got the dress back I couldn't even tell any work had been done! The seams were perfect. I just took another dress in and will get it back soon. I know it will be done well and with care. read more

A true gem. Super professional and knowledgable. Great eye for detail. My go-to for alterations. While the place calls itself "dressmaker," the men's alterations are first class, too Above all, good value for the quality! read more

I was skeptical at first, but Truc is amazing! Easy to work with, good pricing, works quickly, and great at what she does!!! She made my prom dress and I got so many compliments will definitely go back. read more

Truc has done all my alterations for the last 7 years. Each time I'm impressed with her work. She's altered many of my Lilly P. dresses. Highly recommend. Be sure to park in the back. read more

She was professional and friendly. My wedding dress and jumpsuit alterations were exactly what I asked for. Would highly recommend.

Truc made an elaborate dress for me with a 7 day turnaround! She did a wonderful job and followed my design inspiration to a T. Definitely recommend! read more

Took 2 pair of pants there to get hemmed and tapered. Woman (I think she was the owner) who took my measurements was very nice and got the fit just right. She only put pins in 1 of the pants legs on 1 pair of the pants, I was a little worried but I have never altered anything so I don't know how the process goes. I got both pair of pants back and they both fit perfectly just the way I wanted them to fit. This will be my go-to place for tailoring from now on. A little hard to find as this store is in the top row of stores in the plaza so there are some steps in the breezeway you can walk up or you can go around to the back of the plaza to an elevated parking lot where you can enter closer to the store. read more

I've been meaning to Leave a review here for quite some time now. Truc truly helped me over the summer when I received beautiful clothes from India two days before an event and they were horribly ill fitting. She is a miracle worker. She sized me, really understand the look that I was going for, and gave me feedback on things that would and would not work. All in all, everything turned out perfectly. I'll never go to anyone else again! read more

Amazing job on my gf dress!! Definitely going back to get my suit tailored! Very fast service and price was really reasonable!

Truc is a magician and life saver! She can adjust, repair or fix anything no matter how complicated. She worked her magic for my Indian wedding outfits and everyone looked fantastic, including the bride! Thank you!!! read more

I had a wonderful experience here. Fast and efficient. Great work done in such a short turn around time.

Needed a seamstress to alter my dress and I looked around my neighborhood for one. I found this seamstress based off the reviews and was happy with my end product. She took in several parts of my dress and even added a little hook to make sure it fit me well! I am happy with how my altered dress turned out! read more

Truc is fantastic! Not only can she do simple/complicated alterations on dresses and men's suits, she does take custom orders for dresses. And she's reasonably priced. I have used her for fadding a new liner to my coat, patching my torn fur coat, altering five of my husband suits (including a tux) and altering evening gowns (including my wedding dress). read more

It's hard to find a dressmaker in the area and Truc is okay. I came to her with a design, and she recreated it pretty well. She had initially said she could get it done in two weeks, but then that was extended by a few days because of Easter. Her office seems suuuuper busy, so I felt quite rushed and struggled to communicate my concerns because she seemed like she was trying to get to other things. I liked the dress, I liked that she had a fitting before pick up, but there were a few things I would have liked to have fixed before final payment that I didn't get to. At the end, I asked her how to wash the dress; she said, just like normal. I put it in the washer today, took it out to hang dry and noticed that a bunch of the seams in the lining had come undone and parts of the lining were unconnected from the material. So, that sucks. I'll need to go to a different tailor to get that fixed because I plan to wear this to a wedding. I had hoped to have a dress I could keep for years but the way it was made, I'm not sure it'll last. I don't think I'll be going back to Truc. Dress cost $200. read more

Have been looking for a place to make custom clothes from fabric I bought overseas and after a lot of searching, I found Truc. She has made 3 custom dresses for me and I have gotten lots of complements! No need to patterns. I once brought a dress in as a guide for one of the designs. She was able to sketch the style for each of the dresses and I came in for two fittings (including the final ones) for final fixes. The turn over was about 2-3 weeks since I was in no rush. Each dress was a little pricey but for all the custom work, I think it has been worth the investment. I plan on coming back to Truc soon to have a couple of pieces of clothing made. She is a great find. read more

Truc made my dress for my brother's Italian wedding. I chose a combination of three styles I had seen on magazines and in stores. I was a little nervous because I had nothing made outside of Italy but I was tired of the back and forth to get things made overseas. She did an outstanding job! The dress was exactly what I wanted, very elegant, modern and I felt good wearing it while enjoying the evening. read more

Truc was so so nice to work with. I needed 3 dresses altered for my upcoming wedding, and she was affordable, nice and honest. For one of the dresses, she created a custom corset back from the fabric she hemmed off. It looks perfect. Unfortunately, I can't wear the dress to the wedding for personal reasons, but she 100% delivered on the quality. She also hemmed all three and replaced the zipper in my reception dress. It looks much better. The only thing lacking was the quality of the replacement bust cups she sewed into my dress. They are much too large, but that was my mistake. I should have specified less padding. The place is very confusing to find. I always park in the busy shopping center and walk upstairs. You enter a tunnel and take the cement stairs into the office building. She's at the end of the hall. Sadly, I've moved away from the area so will probably not be returning. But we'll see. She did such great work and was so fair about pricing, I just might make the long trip! Definitely recommend. read more

They do a great job. We travel all the way from fairfax, VA to get clothes tailored here. For example, my daughter bought a suit but was big and long for her. She wanted the jacket and the pant to be short and skinny with extra buttonholed for flower. They did excellent work with a short deadline and the suit fits her perfectly like a custom suit. Owner is friendly and helpful. I am recommending this place. read more

Truc came through in a big way! Absolutely recommend- needed alterations to a Sari blouse/Choli and an Anarkali dress and she and her staff did an amazing job. If I could give 6 stars I would. read more

Had a rush/next day order, and the job was done exceptionally. I received my items on time and the wait was very short to none for pick up. The customer service was top notch and the owner is very friendly, funny and helpful. I would recommend this business and I look forward to coming here in the future for alterations and quick patch ups etc. read more

Super nice people! It was hard to find and a little messy inside but don't let that fool you into thinking they don't know what they're doing. They're super flexible with timing and pricing was reasonable for the work. I will definitely return if I need any other hemming (they did my prom dress). read more

Absolutely recommend! I bought a dress last-minute to wear for a wedding. It was way too small, but being on sale, I thought I'd see if a tailor could fix it with a corset. She right away knew what to do and explained the process, without having to use a corset, which is a huge plus. While I still don't know how she did it, the dress is perfect. It fits like a glove, yet the dress looks the exact same with no signs of alteration. Re payment, I paid half up front and then paid the rest after I received the final product. It was expensive to alter, but that would be the case regardless of which tailor I was using because the alteration wasn't easy and I needed it in 5 days. Also, getting to her place was easy once I read the reviews. To make it easier, you could park upstairs. The entrance is behind the strip mall. You will not be disappointed! read more

Amazing!! They did an excellent job altering my wife's wedding dress!

I found Truc on Google Maps, but I am glad I did! She did a wonderful job altering my 2 weddings dresses and they fit wonderful! I would definitely recommend her to anyone! read more

She is amazing woth Indian clothes! I had her tailor a lengha skirt (very very heavy) and she did a beautiful job.

I am so thrilled to have found Truc! I came to her because of her awesome Yelp reviews, with a costume project I had started myself, and then realized was totally beyond my sewing abilities. I brought all the pieces, and my ideas, to Truc and she turned them into an amazing faux-fur cape. The price was fair, she turned it around quickly, and the quality of the work is great. So great that I immediately brought my husband in so she could make a cape for him, which is also beautiful. I'm excited to come back again as soon as I've come up with my next project/desire! One note: her store is in the 2nd story of the shopping complex at New Hampshire Ave & University (on the corner with the new transit hub.) There's a little tunnel from the front of the complex through to a staircase in back, and then she's down a hall from there. A little (ok a lot) hard to find the first time, but so worth it! read more

Truc Dress Maker is my go to place for making clothing and having alterations done. Truc made my first item when I was going to my 9th grade prom. I will be 40 in a couple of weeks. She has made EVERY dress, costume and has done every alteration for me ever since. Everything is always done to perfection. I have NEVER been disappointed. I just had four business suits perfectly altered and it only took four days! read more

Was recommended by one of my church members to try this place for alterations. She did an amazing job altering my bridesmaid dress and I am very pleased! read more

Incredible! I was very reluctant to let Truc take my dress apart that needed sleeves as well as some of the cleavage area to be covered. After many sleepless nights I went in to pick up my dress and it actually looked better than the original. I highly recommend this woman she's got great skills. A big thank you to Truc and her employees. read more

Great shop with quick turn around! I brought in two pairs of jeans that needed to be hemmed. The hem was well done, only $10 per pair of pants, and ready the NEXT day. I will definitely take my next alteration needs to this shop. It is a little difficult to find - you need to go the the back of the shopping center and find the staircase to the shops on the second floor. The shop is at the end of the hallway. Highly recommend! read more

Truc is magic! She remade my wife's wedding dress 2 DAYS before our wedding after the previous tailor made a mess of it, and also made a dress for my mother-in-law that fit perfectly - no alterations needed. She can look at you and size you up. Her work is flawless and prices are reasonable. Only thing is her shop is a bit tucked away... read more
