Original Alterations

The service that was provided to me at Original Alterations was beyond amazing. It was the easiest, most simple process ever. I went in for my initial appointment, and when I returned for my second appointment, my maid of honor dress fit perfectly! I was sure I’d need a third appointment, but I didn’t! I will definitely be back if I ever need anything altered again.

I felt so comfortable with her. She is so knowledgable and will make sure you look stunning in your gown. I knew I loved my dress but after she altered it to fit me I fell madly in love with it again. She was truly amazing from start to finish. So glad I went to original alterations. I would recommend it to all brides.

I found Original Alterations by coincidence. My fiancé and I were planning a simple courthouse wedding, so I wasn’t interested in buying an expensive wedding gown at a bridal boutique. Instead, I bought a couple white cocktail dresses online figuring I’d wear whichever fit better. I loved them both, but they were made for women that are six feet tall and all legs. My first stop for alterations was my normal dry cleaner, but they didn’t want to work on evening wear for fear of ruining the garment. I appreciated the honesty, but that kind of left me with nothing. I Unilocaled tailors and seamstresses and I was right around the corner from Original Alterations — I decided to stop by. Although she operates by appointment, Shamsi took me as a walk-​in and afforded me every courtesy and all the attention of a scheduled appointment. I probably did disrupt her routine that day, but she was so warm and welcoming you’d never have known it. She was fantastic in the quality of her work, her quick turnaround time, reasonable pricing (I’d gladly have paid twice as much!), and just her overall demeanor. She says she treats her clients like family — it’s true.

I was referred to Shamsi by Margaret at dublin cleaners. I needed to find someone to attach a new comb to my mothers 37 year old veil. She said she could also alter my dress for cheaper than Wendy’s bridal, which is where I bought my wedding dress. She did an amazing job on both my mothers veil and my wedding dress. She did the dress, veil and pressing of both for an amazing price. She was very professional and accommodated my late work schedule. I would recommend her to anyone who needs any kind of alterations done. Thank you Shamsi!

Shamsi is absolutely wonderful! I was referred to her shop by the bridal salon where I bought my dress. From the beginning, Shamsi was very professional, helpful and caring. My dress has an extremely long train and she bustled the train to look like it was always a part of the dress. During my last fitting, I asked for another change and she completed this within two hours so I could take my dress that day. Above all else, her work is incredible and I am so impressed with each alteration she completed. I highly recommend her shop!

I’m so thrilled with my experience with Shamsi at Original Alterations. Not only is she an exceptionally skilled seamstress, but she also listened to exactly what I wanted and delivered even more than I was hoping for. I would recommend her to any friends or family! :)

I was referred to Original Alterations by my neighbor, who just got married. I bought my dress at Wendy’s Bridal and needed just a few things that got altered. Shamsi was awesome! She was so sweet and got everything done quickly! She didn’t mind me asking a bunch of questions. When I went to pick up my dress, she showed me how to do the bustle (which she added) and even suggested I take a video of her doing so I could show my maid of honor! Genius! I would 100% go back to her in a heart beat and would recommend Original Alterations to all!

Shamsi did a great job on my wedding dress– I had to have it taken in at the top and also shortened. I panicked & went back in, thinking it was too tight, and Shamsi definitely put my mind at ease… She explained the dress will stretch, but assured me if I wanted to let it out she would do it– she treats every customer like one of her own children. In the end, we unlooped some of the corset and it fit PERFECT! What a great idea! She even added a top clasp for me to make sure the zipper didn’t fall down when I sat down. Overall, very happy with her work & her willingness to make the dress perfect for me.

quick, reasonably priced, trustworthy. Worth the money!!! Dress fit like a glove!

I was referred to Original Alterations by Elegant Bride in Dublin. I had never had anything altered before, so I was completely clueless! Shamsi did an amazing job on my wedding dress! Price was fair and she was a pleasure to work with. She was very easy to get ahold of via text or phone call. I have definitely found a seamstress for life!

We bought our daughter’s wedding dress from David’s Bridal and the quote we were given for alterations was way to expensive. Especially considering they took a large size dress off the rack for my size 2 daughter and so much had to be cut off of it. I found this business in a Google search and I was amazed by the personal attention they gave my daughter. They were so nice and did the alterations so quickly it was such a blessing to find them. When I was told the price for all of the work they had to do I thought maybe it was just a deposit, but no, that was the final price! So affordable! I would recommend Original Alterations to anyone that needs alterations or sewing done the right way at an affordable price. These ladies really work hard and make sure everything is perfect.
