Anna’s Alterations

First time taking my suits to Anna’s and it definitly will not be my last! Fair prices, great service and quick!

Here’s the deal. I’m 5’7″ — maybe 5’8″ on a good day. I gotta get everything hemmed.
Anna’s does great work. They are affordable, but reliable. I’ve never had them screw up a pair of pants, and the service is quick and painless. I’m pretty particular about my clothes and I trust the ladies at Anna’s with my best suits.
For comparison purposes, I had two pairs of pants hemmed and also the waist taken in on one. $ 24. I’ve paid twice that for hem and waist alterations on one pair of pants elsewhere, and wasn’t as satisfied as I was here.

I don’t know what black magic this shop uses but hot damn they make a short chubby guy like myself look like a million bucks after getting ahold of my dress pants!
Paid $ 88.00 to get 4 pairs of pants tapered and hemmed. They made a pair of $ 20 TJ Maxx dress slacks look and fit as good as a pair of my Banana on me.
You won’t be disappointed.

These people are miracle workers! My dress that I had to wear as the maid of honor in my sisters wedding got butchered by another «tailor» in Charlotte (V alterations and cleaners on 7^th street– don’t go there unless you want to look like you got in a fight with a lawn mower and then not get your money back because «she don’t work for free») Anna’s took my dress and some how fixed all THREE things the other place messed up (including it being two inches too short and cut crooked at the bottom) and you couldn’t even tell anything was ever wrong with it. Then they charged me probably half of what they should have because they knew I had already paid for this once. Amazing. So patient and friendly and really know about the business they are in. I know where to go from now on!

With numerous locations and significant longevity in the Charlotte area, these ladies are the hem gathering gurus. Service is always quick and efficient. The price is right and the work is that of quality.
Take your garments in and step into one of their changing rooms. Step out and grab a fair of their sample shoes to help measure your break Proceed over to one of the measuring platforms and take a look in the mirror as one of the seamstresses pins and tucks as you wish. Tell them what you want, and they will make it happen. Cuffs, hems, narrow arm sleeves, narrow legs, take the waist in, let the waist out, take the jacket in, let the jacket out, hem a dress, sew a button, move a button… whatever you need, they’ve got you covered. Aren’t really sure what type of fit you’re after? Ask and they will gladly share their opinion.
Another plus here is that anytime I’ve needed something in a hurry, they’ve come through for me. They may charge a few extra bucks for the quick turnaround, but they get it done every time without sacrificing quality.
Hit them up for any of your alterations needs. You’ll be glad you did.

I can’t put any less than 1 star. I called them earlier in the week and asked if an appointment was required and they told me that it wasn’t necessary that I can bring my wedding dress anytime to have a bustle put in. I just left the shop after they very rudely told me that I was wrong that an appointment was required and interrogated me about who I talked to, I told them that I didn’t get a name. She told me I could go put my dress on and she will get to me whenever she can but it will take a long time and I will have to wait on the people with appointments. It was insulting and degrading and I do not recommend them to anyone.

Anna says a wonderful job with my alterations. I’ve taken a variety of items into their store. I’ve had dresses skirts and pants hemmed and altered. Most recently I had some patches put on some jeans that had tears in them they were quick and friendly. I’ve always greeted when I walk into the store. They have a lot of space and it is neat and clean. I highly suggest them for your alteration needs.

I moved to Charlotte about 5 months before my wedding. I decided it made sense to have my dress altered here rather than fly back and forth to have it altered where I purchased it. I didn’t know anyone in Charlotte to ask for a recommendation and I was terrified to let just any alterations shop take a scissor to my expensive purchase. I turned to Unilocal for help and decided on Anna’s after reading the reviews. I chose Anna’s on Park because they do the alterations for the bridal shop located right next door. I knew that they obviously had to have experience with plenty of wedding dresses.
It took about 5 visits to Anna’s to complete all of the alterations that I wanted but I cannot say enough about how happy I was with their work. They were very professional, had good recommendations and really did know what they were doing. I had my dress taken in around the chest and hips, had a bustle added, a belt sewn into the dress, had multiple layers of the dress hemmed and had lace added to the bottom of my dress. I thought the price I paid for the amount of work I had done was extremely reasonable. After I brought my altered dress home, something was bothering me with the fit in the hips. I took it back to Anna’s to have the dress taken in a bit more just days before I was supposed to leave for my wedding. Much to my surprise, Anna’s happily took the dress in without charging me extra and had it done very quickly.
I would absolutely go back to Anna’s for any alterations that I have in the future and I highly recommend them for wedding dress alterations.

I took my wedding dress to Anna’s to have a bustle put in about one week before my wedding because I’m a procrastinator. Other places told me it would take 2 – 4 weeks but Anna’s accommodated my timeline and had it done in two days! She also noticed that my dress was a little long on me, which was distressing because it is lace and can’t really be hemmed on short notice. The owner took the time to talk to me and suggested adding in another layer of tulle while shortening the inner layers to make it easier to walk in the dress. When I picked up the dress, it was even more beautiful with the fuller flared skirt. She noticed a small tear in the lace over my zipper (which had been caused by a seamstress somewhere else who claimed it already looked like that) and had her most experienced seamstress sew it up for free! I am incredibly happy with the service and personalized attention I received at Anna’s and will definitely be going back for future alterations.

I read lots good reviews so i decide to try first time is just ok. Second time worse When I went to pick up the bras, they had let them all out, instead of taking them in. So, I obviously requested they be redone, and I had to wait an additional few days. I have noticed since that they did not sew the areas back up where they had taken out the strap. Terrible work. I have also brought in pants to be hemmed. Mostly, I have had good experiences but one time they only hemmed one leg. I am going to try to find someone better to do my alterations. the told me one price and in the day i pick up the price is different

So its go big or go home, and I am going BIG. I was in the market for alterations for my wedding dress, and since I bought it over a year ago and in Texas I was a little conserved about where I should go to get it done. I mean I couldn’t take it to say Davids Bridal because I hadn’t purchased it there. So that being said I Unilocaled it and I was pointed in this direction.
I was expecting to pay big, very big the dress was a size 14 and I am a size 10 so I imagined I would be spending at least $ 600 (my best friend had spent over $ 1000 on her alterations) I also needed a bustle and to have it taken in as I’m super short. Called and made my appointment went in and they got down to business! Two sessions was all it took at probably 20 mins each, they took it in added my bustle AND found a cheaper more cost effective way to hem the dress. I spent $ 233. I can honestly say it looks better then when I bought it!

A rare five stars for Anna’s that continues to do superb alterations of all kinds in a timely and super proficient way.
Have had to recently re-​gear up into business attire and have found that many of my suits and sports coats have shrunken. It must be the southern humidity, of that I am certain. But whatever the cause, the alterations had to be done correctly by people experienced in men’s clothing.
And does Anna have the expertise. A bevvy of Asian women scurry about measuring, altering and covering the cash register, which is constantly busy.
To just be in the building is a show unto itself. Lots of men and women being fitted. Have seen the most lovely and striking gowns draped on women to include some wedding dresses. And nothing phases the sew-​girls (term left over from my Korea time). They all take the time to try the tucks and lengths to make sure that the customers is getting what they want.
You will feel like a king or queen while there and throughout the Anna’s experience. And prices are OK, considering the workmanship/​womanship that you get.
Big or small, simple or complicated, go see Anna. They have the right stuff.

I’ve been going here for about a year. I’m tiny and I have to have pretty much everything altered in some way. This place is absolutely the best in Charlotte. The girls are all very sweet and they know what they’re doing. The prices are reasonable and especially on rush orders! I can’t sing their praises enough. They’re the best!

I’ve previously been a customer of Anna’s Alterations in University City, but as I don’t need go to that part of town anymore it was time I tried the location closer to home. I’d ordered some clothes online and while the paints were the correct inseam they sold all their paints the same length. So in I walked with 4 pairs of paints, a shirt, and the pair of shoes I intended to wear with them all.
One of the clerks showed me to the small stable of dressing rooms they have and I got changed. We talked about how much break to have to the jeans and the seamtress, rolled and pinned my paints accordingly. As all the pants were the same length I expected to try one pair and they would mark them all the same. Such was their attention to detail that they had me try on each pair of jeans and slacks (even the ones that were the same style from teh same manufacturer in different colors) so that they were all properly marked to be hemmed. Having the shirt tailored was easy exprience, just pull it on, stand in front of the mirrors and ask the seamtress to take in the shape so the shirt fit more V shaped.
The only reason I hold back a star is their no display of prices for services. I walked in with my clothes, said what I needed done, and once all the adjustments were marked, was handed a ticket to come back in a week (it was mid June & they were busy). When I came back with a claim ticket they just told me how much to pay, so I have no idea what I paid for each service or how that compares to others.

I recently had some summer dresses taken in at Anna’s and the alterations were perfect! I had several things done to them and am so happy with the fit. I originally marked up the hem myself but they told me that they couldn’t guarantee that the length would be perfect if they don’t pin it themselves so I thought why not.
I had Eva help me and she was really well versed and knowledgable about garment construction! We talked a bit and she even attended fashion design college in the UK! She was so sweet and the other girls too. They gave me great suggestions on my dresses and we took up some of the length on my straps too which was nice since I don’t like low necklines.
I’m really glad I spent the time to have them pin the dress on me! So guys really, my advice to you would be to take some time out and have them pin it on for you! You won’t regret it!

It is hard to find a good alteration place. But after being referred here years ago, I have been a regular customer since. The service is always great, prices are reasonable and they have a great turnaround time.

Boy they suck!
They butchered three shirts from Hong Kong. I had told them to remove the plackets before they took them up. NOPE! They just chopped away! And then all of a sudden their ability to speak English dissapeared!
I WILL NEVER GO BACK!!!

So Anna’s has been around Charlotte for a long time, first over on East Boulevard where Sloan and a few other boutiques called home (great placement there). Now they have a much bigger space just off Park Road, and next to a major bridal store (great placement x2). They simply have a great reputation for competent and speedy work and my experiences are happily consistent.
As a guy who wears a full suit 5 days a week, a good tailor is a necessity. The ladies out front at Anna’s may not have perfect English at all times, but they have the skills when it comes to tailoring a suit. Pants hemmed to perfect specification with cuffs, no problem. Waist taken in, spot on. Jacket pulled in, we do that. Jacket cuffs taken in, got you there too.
You just slide into a dressing room and then walk out and take the box stand for a quick measurement and marking. Minus a star for the mirror and box being right in the middle of the store and facing the parking lot. Modesty takes a back seat here. Luckily, I think the ladies taking the measurements have seen it all and take it in stride. If only the other customers did so as well.
Turn around time is also fantastic. I recently had 3 suits altered within 3 days. I thought that was insane– especially if you have ever tried in-​store alterations. Prices are all well within line for usual services– hems to pants $ 10. Waist tucks $ 10. Special requests and services are more expensive, though, so just consider what it is you are asking for. Overall, great place for professional and speedy tailoring work, this Charlotte long-​timer has earned it’s place in my go-​to book.

Yay for people who can fix my clothes! Anna’s Alterations is a great place to bring your stuff for the tuck in here, let out there…
My husband’s pants where approximately $ 10 for the fix, my suit jacket was $ 44. Yes, it was significantly more, but due to the special construction, more work was required. Got it back looking the exact same, but they made it to fit perfectly.
The turn around time can’t be beat either! It was ready within a few days or a week, but knowing me, I take a few weeks to get around to picking it up. They also have a 2 week policy. If you pick it up without trying it on, you have 2 weeks to bring it back to make another change.

Just like a good man, a good tailor is hard to find. But, I’ve heard such good things about Anna’s Alterations that I just had to bring in a need-​to-​be-​altered item and see what they were all about.
Right off of Park Rd, Anna’s is a spacious, airy shop with sky blue walls and tons of dressing & alterations areas. When I walked in with my way too long dress in hand, they promptly greeted me and asked me if I needed to try the dress on. Indeed I did and I hopped into a dressing room. 15 minutes later after expert pinning and a bit of friendly discussion regarding the length I was looking for, I was out the door with a claim ticket in hand. The dress I brought in needed to be taken up about 6 inches and the bottom band needed to be shortened and reattached. It would be ready in 5 days and when I asked the cost, they checked in the back (with the tailors, I assume) and replied it would be around $ 16.
Fast forward 5 days and the dress fits perfectly. Elation aside, $ 16 for that perfectly done alteration is a great deal. And since Anna’s is so conveniently located next to J Major’s Bridal and some great consignment stores (Monarch, JT Posh) it’s the perfect stop to get all of your clothes fitting just right.
