It’s A Stitch

Great work, but pretty spendy. I was in a bridal party and the cost of my alterations (taking in and hemming) were about $ 30 more than other bridesmaids, who also got their dresses done in the area. But Roberta does a fantastic job, so especially if you have something tricky, probably worth the $.

I just had a pair of jeans slimmed down in the legs a bit so they’d fit in my tall boots better without bunching. I called ahead on a Saturday afternoon and Roberta told me to come on over. She took my measurements quickly and verified what I wanted. I came back 5 days later and the pants fit well: $ 22.50 (I believe).
Note: It’s cash or check only, so just be sure to have either ready when you come back to pick up and pay for your garments.
Overall, an easy experience and a quality job.

I needed my military uniform pants hemmed and Roberta did an awesome job! These things are tricky to get just right and she made it happen. Will go back to her again!

I am getting married in Sept and needed my wedding gown hemmed. Of course I was nervous of where I would go because I a.) didn’t want to get ripped off and b.) I want it to be gorgeous. It’s a stitch succeeded on both desired.
The actual hem is very well done and the entire dress looks great and fits well.
There’s only 1 woman who works (and owns) the place but I didn’t feel rushed. She took multiple pictures for me even! I had extra fabric and she was excitedly telling me what I could do with it; she seemed genuinely enthusiastic about clothes and style.
I’m already planning on taking my dress back in a year to shorten and alter for a cocktail anniversary dress!

I brought my wedding dress to Roberta because she was on The Wedding Shoppe’s recommended vendor list. WHAT A MISTAKE! She ruined my dress. With only two weeks before my wedding, I had to take it to another person who literally undid every stitch Roberta put in.
And, another thing? She is overpriced. The second woman I went to undid all of her work and THEN had to fix my dress in a short time frame, and she charged me $ 110 less than Roberta.
Her shop was grubby, her floor dirty (not good for wedding dresses!) and she doesn’t seem to «get» what current styles are.
I am sure she does great ordinary tailor work (hemming pants, replacing buttons) but she has no «vision» or concept of what to do to fix such a complicated item as a wedding dress.

It’s a Stitch is a one-​woman-​show from what I can tell and Roberta (I’m 99% sure that’s her name) does an amazing job. She has sewed buttons on jackets for me, hemmed multiple bridesmaid dresses, taken dresses in, taken others out. Everything has been done flawlessly and on time. I’ve always felt 100% at ease with her working on my clothes. I can’t say the same for other alterations places I’ve tried. Nothing is worse than leaving your new $ 150 jeans with someone who you’re not sure understands what you just told them to do. Not the case with Roberta… she even took a bridesmaid dress out for me at no cost (I was having her hem it) when I was going to deal with the thing being too tight. She was worried that the zipper might break and didn’t want me to chance it. That’s customer service! I will return again and again and recommend her to anyone seeking alterations work.
She does dry cleaning and wedding dress preservation too.
